MEL IS CONFIDENT
 ABOUT HENDERSON
Says Age-Herald Forecast Put Jefferson and Mo-
 bile Too Low

Charles Henderson will receive big ma- jorities in Jefferson and Mobile
 R. E. L. Neil. assistant state campaign manager for MT. Henderson, who reached Birmingham last night. thus expressed himself in regard to the forecast made by the people of Alabama through The Age-Herald yesterday morning.
 'The Age-Herald gave MT. Conner, said Mir. Mel. "a majority of s6s4 Jefferson was given to MT Henderson by ma jority of less than 1000. Henderson will carry Jefferson by about 4ooo. Mobile was given to Henderson by about 1000 Hen derson will carry Mobile by more than POGO. And thus, 1t is seen that the mar gin given Conner will be overcome.
 There is little doubt but that MT Conner is beaten. He knows it. His lieutenants know it. We are satisfied We have found satisfaction in the fore cast printed in The Age Herald. We know that 1t was prepared as a result of hard and conscientious work. But at the same time, it contained errors that arc apparent to the casual observer

 BRANDE|S' POSITION
Repudiates Concession of 1, c. c. Lawyer to Rail-
 roads

Washington, May 7.-The interstate commerce commission had before it to- day supplemental brief filed by Cliff ford Thorne, representing the western railroad commissions, before the com mission in the advanced rate case.
 Mir. Thorne bitterly arraigned Louis D. Brandeis, special counsel for the commission, who, in his closing argu- ment in the case last Friday declared that on the whole the net income, the net operating revenues of the public tion territory, are smaller than is con sistent with their assured prosperity, and the welfare of the community of securities.
 Mir. Thorne repudiates in unqualified | terms the concession made by MT. Brandcis and had he known Mir. Bran deis was actually going to take the railroad side of the particular ques- ton at issue for discussion, he said, he would have certainly asked that other railrpad counsel be heard before the completion of arguments 1 MT. Thorne after referring to the
 
 in the case. emphasized that the com mission had notable responsibility to discharge In determining the ade- quacy of railroad revenues which it ocu1d not delegate to MT. Brandeis as an underwriters, that his duty was to present facts and not opinions. Tn spite of this he exceeded all bounds of propriety in the premises" Thornes brief continues. and prac- tically usurped the functions of the commission and, further, he specirfcai- ly advocated a Fundamental theory for the disposition of the case.
 Furthermore, and far more import ant than any other fact here stated. he announced the conclusions without presenting any facts or reasons In either oral or written argument on basic questions necessarily involved In arriving at such a conclusion MT. Thorne adds that the commission at this time cannot hold the revenues of the carriers within official classi- acation territory inadequate unless it reverses the principles voluntarily es- tablished in its former opinons.

 Central Stock Issue
 X bill to control railway stock and bond issues carrying drastic provisions for prior federal approval of new railroad capitalization and for publicity all along the line. was agreed upon and reported today by the House interstate commerce. committee. This measure is framed as an amendment to the interstate commerce. law and is safeguarded against being iri- terpreted as federal guarantee of se- curties by a specific disclaimer. n would affect every railroad and other carrier engaged in Interstate commerce.
 The committees report submitted by Representative Adamson of Georgia, the chairman. said the proposed law could be enforced by injunction against un- lawful conduct and by judicial punish- ment of vioators of the law.
 "As ito those persons who practice wholesale specuations and manipulations in stocks and bonds. known in the past as magnificent wreckers of railroad sys- tems" the report added. we have left the punishment in the discretion of the courts. It is thought proper to allow the courts to exercise their full limit Of human ingenuity in inflcting punish ment on those who injure commerce and tie countrys prosperity by crippling the great system of transportation.'
 Not Dealing With Directors
 Pointing out that it was understood the judiciay committee was not dealing with the directorates of railroad com panies, the report saidA provision had been included in the bill to prevent com mon directorates and management. ex- cept when peculiar conditions render 1t necessary the interstate commerce conn mission may sanction such duplicate of- flee holding.

OPINIONS FORMED
 BY VISITING EDITOR

In the recent party of northern and eastern newspaper men who passed through Birmingham on their way to the Dallas, Tex, convention of the Ma tional Editorial association. was II. Tomlinson, editor of the Daily Record. Morristown, N. J. As Is remembered. the rarty of editors stopped over here and was entertained at the Newspaper clut and shown over tho city
 When Editor Tomlnson got home this Is what he wrote in his paper about his trip as far as Birmingham is concerned:
 "It is at Birmingham the traveller meets his great surprise, if he ar Ffives there with the notion that the town fits In with his preconceived ioeas or the south. It Is northern city set down in the midst of the sunny southland. without losing any of It's snap go.
 situated in valley almost sur rounded by hills, with natural adyan- lagos possessed by perhaps no other locality in the world, it's few inhab- itants pursued the even tenor of their way, decade after decade until some 20 years ago northern capitalists dis covered It's possibilities and since then 1t has gone forward by leaps and bounds. It surpassed all other cities in It's growth from 1900 to 1910, and from 1890 to date, it grew from 26, 900 to around 100000.
 The resources consist of inexhaus- tfble coal mines in one range of the hills, endless veins of iron ore in an adjacent range, with the other reaui- site of the steel stry--limestone- the nlatRan i, quantities. Nature could do no more and northern initiative and enterprise did the rest
 "A ride in the elevator to the ton or 26-story building showed tall chimneys and dense smoke rising in all directions. but 1t did not disclose one Of the greatest wonders of the place It Is fine residential city as well as n manufacturing town.
 Hidden among the trees on the slopes of the hills, along winding as- phalted streets, are the beautiful. cost ly homes of its prosperous citizens un- affected so far as appeared in any way by the dense smoke rising in columns in all directions. And yet some people do not think Morristown could have sewing machines opperated In a store building without running 1t as a place of residence.
 "The town has the appearance of having even more wonderful opportu- nities before 1t, so great Is the room and so certain are its resources
 The entertainment at Birmingham consisted of auto rides in the after- noon and dinner at the press club rooms in the evening, the Chamber of Commerce and press club being hosts The press club is the institution of the town, occupying three upper floors of the tallest building with a commanding view and fine appointments. The greater part of the business men of the town are associate members and the restaurant Is filled every noon, many ladies being among the diners. It Is undoubtedly the most elaborate club controlled by the press anywhere in the country"

ID PROBE CHARGES GROWING OUT OF
 THE LEO FRANK CASE
Judge Hill Orders Allega tions As to Methods Used By Both Sides PrObed
 By Grand Jury

Atlanta, May 7-rt was announced to- day that Judge Benjamin Hill of the superior court, who yesterday denied a new trial to Leo NJ. Frank. will instruct the grand jury which begins it's sessions a week from Monday to make a thor ough and rigid investigation of the charges of perjury. coercion and intimi- dation of witnesses made against each other on both sides in the famous murder case.
 Judge Hill in effect will turn over the whole matter to the grand jury with a view of probing all the allegations that have been such a tangle of the case.
 It is said his charge will be very broad, empowering the grand jury to call alike for the appearance of attorneys for the state and for the defense.
 Solicitor Dorsey already has stated that he would bring several recent incidents in the Frank case to the attention of the grand jury.
 To Thrash Out Charges
 Perjury charges made by the state against the defense. and counter charges made by the defense against the state will be threshed out.
 Dan Lehon, a Burns detective. has been held in 5000 bail to appear before the grand jury, and it is believed several other detectives and agents of the de- fense, as well as those working for the state will be cited to appear and tell of their activities.
 Counsel for Frank today were busy pre- pairing to take his plea for a new trial to the state supreme court.
 It is said that the solicitor would not ct in this direction having stated that he desires to expedite final determination of the case.
 The arguments on the constitutional question of the right of counsel to waive for Frank his appearance in court at the time the verdict was rendered, will begin before Judge Hill Saturday, and will be followed with more interest per haps than any other phase of the case.
 New Set of Attorneys
 The new set of attorneys will appear for Frank in this proceeding. The point has been widely discussed among local attorneys
 If necessary the new Frank attorneys are prepared to take the case to the United States supreme court on the con stitutional point they have raised.
 In order to avoid a demonstration or possible violence, an agreement was made that Frank should remain in jail.
 Agreement was made that Frank should remain in jail when the jury reached its verdict last winter.
 The powers of an attorney to waive for a prisoner in a matter of this nature is the involved point.
 Anna Maud Carter. negress, who had been missing witness in the Frank case, was returned to the city today in GUS tody of detectives for the defense.
 Judge Hill had ordered the defense to produce the witness today. In view of the sudden termination of the extraor- dinary motion for a new trial yesterday it is doubtful if the Carter woman will be called upon to give her word.
