PLAN A.
 FAILURE, SAYSKElTH.
AnnistOn Banker Comments on Means of Selecting
 Bank Directors

Anniston, June 13.-(Special)-In the opinion of James Keith, Jr., vice presi- dent of the Anniston City National bank and recently elected vice president of the Alabama Bankers association, the con- ference plan of nominating directors for the federal reserve banks has proved a failure wherever tried, whether at Mont gomery, in Tennessee, New York or Richmond MT Keith says:
 "Various conferences have been held the country over in an effort to select di- rectors for the various regional banks, one of which is to be established in the city of Atlanta. The conference In Mont gomery proved unsatisfactory, the Ten nessee conference was unsatisfactory, the one held in New York was unsatisfac- tory, as was also the Richmond confer ence.
 'The fact of the business is that all of these conferences are in plain violation of the spirit if not the letter, of the federal reserve act, creating these regional banks, which distinctly points out that the board of directors of each member bank shall meet in their counting room and there discuss the question of direc- tors for each regional bank, after which they shall name an elector who will cast the vote of that institution in accordance with the findings of the board.
 ''The member banks are divided into groups one, two and three class A, group No. 1 consisting of the largest banks; group No ? of the medium sized banks, and group No. of the banks with a cap ital of s60,000 or less.
 These banks also elect in a similar way three directors from commercial, indus trial or agricultural pursuits, the remain ing three directors being named by the President of the United States.
 Tt will thus be seen that each member bank votes for two directors. one banker and one from some other commercial or industrial pursuit.
 Under these circumstances it would be very difficult, indeed, to arrange for these directors by conference meetings. eacf state holding an independent meeting UT to date the conference plan has proved a distinct failure and the whole matter vii be settled in a few days now, as the law Intended 1t should, by each elector send ing in a certified copy of the vote giver by his board of directors This is emi- nentiX the correct way of doing this, as the conference plan necessarily engenders great deal of bitterness and strife. al Of which is unnecessary"

GEORGIA AND ALABAMA SENATORS AT ODDS ON
 BIG PROBLEM OF ETHICS
By c. E. STEWART

Washington, June 13.-(Special) Senator White of Alabama and Senator
 Hoke Smith of Georgia. have had se-
 suggested but it is a painful subject. The statesman from Alabama and the statesman from Georgia's differences
 seem irreconciliable. It may become
 the subject of consideration by the Senate itself.
 On all other subjects but this most important one they agree. They both
 believe T. Jefferson. who had some thing to do with the founding of the democratic party was great man. They acknowledge that the admins tration of Woodrow Wilson is bound to
 go down in history as a series of great and marvellous achievements. There is no difference of opinion over canal tolls, woman suffrage, prohibition. or any of the other vacations and diff cult problems now wrinkling the brows of great statesmen. Not at all They believe and have an undying faith in the rule of the plain people, but upon the question of which way to jump when being approached by an automo- bile, there exists between these two great legislators difference that
 seems now insurmountable. Others in the Senate, colleagues of these two high strung nervous southern gentle
 men, all agree that something ought
 to be done about it.
 Senator Smith entertains the idea entirely wrong, according to Senator White-that when an automobile is charging down on you that it is your duty to society and posterity that you step aside briskly to the left. Senator White is obstinate in his opinion that you ought to step to the right. Each man is determined to carry this con viction with him to the bitter end. The other afternoon these two sen- ators were walking up Connecticut avenue. If it had not been for this stroll up the fashionable thoroughfare. the south would not now be all split
 up the back. They were discussing
 great problems in perfect harmony.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-06-14

Each had a perfectly good dove of peace perched on his shoulder. They started across the street when they saw an automobile driven by one of the speed maniacs who wear goggles bearing down upon them. They were in the path of the machine. Action prompt and vigorous was necessary, or a couple of eminent statesmen would be scattered ruthless up and down the avenue
 This way senator" said Senator Smith, taking a firm grip on his col leagues arm Not at all. senator, replied Senator White with much dig nifty. placing his hand on Senator Smiths shoulder.
 Senator" said Senator Smith in q grieved tone of voice. you are going the wrong way"
 Senator" said Senator White with firmness, while I may not have vel reached your perfection in questions oi government, l do know that the way to get out of the way of an automo- bile, is to turn to the right"
 Not at all," insisted Senator Smith "the left is the right way in this in stance"
 In the meantime the automobile wa. still coming
 Senator" bawled Senator Smith you had better come my way" Eacf gave the other tug. and as something had to be done they broke grips, eacf going the way of his choice,
 "The right" said Senator White hop. ping in that direction.
 "The left Senator Smith flung back over his shoulder has he bounded that way.
 The car dashed between them like 2 Kansas tornado, and the two statesmen gazed at each other thoughtfully anc carefully avoided the subject
 But 1t leaked out in the Senate, and may be brought to the attention oi the President as a. matter likely tc disturb democratic harmony Either this or the Senate may take up tho matter and make legal a series of rules which way to jump in case one is at tackled by an automobile.
 It is regarded as a pity that Geor. gia and Alabama should fall out over such a matter. when they have just recovered from the regional bank thing. but both insist that 1t is 2 question of principle.

Friday Night Fire a Mystery

Last Friday night there was p
portunity to test the new fire whistle
in sounding the alarm. 1t is needlesss
to say that it did the wark well, for
even though it was cold large num-
ber of the citizens as well as the fire
company responded to the call.
About 10:30 Night Watchman Doss,
thought he saw smoke ebanating from
Mercantile Co. the building occupied
by Cole & Nixon Mercantile Co. Upon
closer examination his suspicion was
confirmed. An alarm was turned in
and the fire company responded with
the fire apparatus to use in extin-
gushing the blaze. Luckily the fire
hndn ot gotten very much of head
way and was in very short time
put out.
Just how the fire originated is
mystery. 1t started in the basement
jut sunder the stairway. An old bar
rel and few boxes were located at
this place but supposedly empty, and
the dampness of the cellar would al
most preclude the idea of spontaneous
combustion, 1t is supposed that prob
ably rat or n muose and match
were the cause.
The damage to the building and the
stock of merchandise is only slight,

as the blaze was hardly gotten
through the floor before water was
turned on. The damage by smoke
and water no doubt exceeds that of
by fire.
Again is demonstrated the wisdom
of having night watchman, and the
fact that money so used is well spent.
Farmington,s fire company is also
worthy of congratulation for the
done in putting out this fire Of the
prompness with which the work was

TIMES OFFICE HAS FIRE
Just as We Were Getting Ready to
Begin an All Home Print and En-
deavor to Add New Features
to Tho Times Hindered
by Fire.
Win Have Machine in Working Order
in a Few Days.

Just week ago last Saturday we
began the use of our new Linotype
machine. 1t had delighted us with
it's splendid work and the dispatch
with which we were able to got up
the type for the paper. We were
laying plans for the beginning at
once of an all home print paper,
and endeavor to carry q much larg-
or volume of home news. Toward
this end we have been working right
along all the time, and even now the
matter will only be delayed for a
few days
Those who are familiar with n
Linotype machine know that the
metal has to be melted from which
the type is cast. We are using gaso-
line to accomplish this. For some
reason the blaze was not strong
enough to keep the metal up to the
proper temperature, and in seeking
to adjust the pipes in some way that
it seems hard to explain an explo-
sion occurred.
Mr.. Turner aud Mr.. Moore were
near the machine at the time, in
fact in front of 1t, and between the
window and the machine. All at
once the blaze enveloped the work
men, but making hasty retreat
they escaped with slight burns, and
that only In the case OF Mr.. Moore,
whose left hand and side Of the face
was burned quite severely.
The quantity of gasoline was not
sufficient to ignite the building and
hence the fire was of short duration,
yet long enough to damage the
building considerably as well as the
Linotype machine itself. Theiplate
glass window in front was pushed
out by, the excessive heat, the In.
terror badly discolored by smoke
and worst OF all some of the cast
ings on the machine warped. But
the machine fortunately is insured
and it Is supposed that the company
will take care of the loss on it.
