NO HYDRO-E[ECTR|C POWER BEING USED B. R., l.. & P. Go. Equipment Delayed by Strike at Vest
 inghOuse Plant

On account of the Westinghouse strike the equipment ordered by the Birming ham Railway, Light and Power company, which is necessary before hydro-electric power can be used here, the fulfillment of the contract with the Alabama Power company will be delayed perhaps sev- eral months. It was announced yester- day that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company was not at this time supplying power here and would not be in a position to utilize the hydro-electric product for several weeks.
 As announced sometime ago the power has been contracted for and it was ex- pected that it would be in use here long before this time. However. in order to reduce the very high voltage of the power for commercial purposes here the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power com pany ordered some special and very ex- pensive equipment for the local power plant. This equipment was ordered from the Westinghouse Electric company, but the strike of workmen at the New York plant has embarrassed that company. It was stated yesterday that the voltage of the power delivered at Magella or Spaulding to the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company was reduced there from the voltage as received at that point from the river. That power is connected up with the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company by temporary construction and has been sent into the local power station. At this time electrical experts of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company are en- pa0a6 in faStipO 10 md xua ing out the schedule of voltage redac- tions.
 It was stated yesterday that officials of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company hope to get the power ready for commercial service within the present year and have every reason to believe that they will accomplish that result.

PLANS
 FOR JAIL COMPLETED
Will Be Presented to Dr. Oates This Morning for
 His Approval

Preliminary plans for a new county Jail and for additions to the present jail are complete. Harry B. wheeloch, architect for the county, will have the preliminary sketches ready for the inspection of pr. w. H. Oates, state prison inspector when he reaches here this morning. Dr. oates will look over the plans and will confer with the board of revenue about what is to be done to relieve the prison con ditions.
 The statement was made yesterday that the plans for the new jail contemplate three stories which will require an area as great as the total county property at the corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty-first street. There has been shown plans for adequate light and air as well as bathing facilities.
 After looking over the sketches this morning Dr. Oates may make state ment as to what he intends to have done here. It is the firm conviction of many persons that Dr. Oates will not approve the plans for an addition to the present iail but will insist that the new jail be erected and on site larger than the present site, which will enable the prison CTS to get some exercise, sunlight and fresh air This cannot be done. it Is main tained, on the present site, as it is held to be far inadequate.
 pr. Oates will also make final de- cision today about removing some negro women from this prison to Wetumpka. It is believed he will order the removal of the negro women, as they are said to be badly in need of additional space for air, light and recreation.
 Dr. Oates will probably remain here tomorrow and the jail question may find it's final solution before he departs.
 Judge A. c. Howze, head of the com mittee named by the congregation of the First Presbyterian church, and others in terested in the removal of the jail, are expected to be at the meeting of the board of revenue to discuss the matter and also urge that something be done to relieve the situation as much and as quickly as possible.

ably be Charles Murray Merling,
senior counselor in the British diplo-

change is given at the foreign office the
transfer of Sir Lionel Garden recalls
several instances of friction with
Washington since he has been at Mex

action in presenting his credentials to
Huerta on the day after President
Wilson had formally communicated to
the Mexican ruler his determination
never to recognize his government.
Another was a published interview in
which the British minister was quoted
as saying the American representa-

him to the fact that antitrust legis-

said, should cooperate with con-

Houghton, Mich, Jan. 7.-Governor
Ferris has taken hold of the strike sit
uation in the copper country. With
his coming Monday practical truce
went into effect and both sides ex-
pressed willingness to await his find
ings before initiating new measures

John B. Densmore of the depart
ment of labor announced on Saturday
that his efforts to end the strike of
copper miners by Cancellation had
failed after he had made final effort
to bring the warning factions to-
gether
He did not hesitate to blame has
failure upon the incorporating at.
titude of the mine owners, who re-
fused to recognize the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners as a party to abb
tration proceedings CT ether peace
projects.
In a nutshell, the question was
whether the union men should go back
to work with or without discrimina-
ton The companies refused to do
anything but discriminate against
members of the union" said Mr.. Dens-
more.
1T means a struggle to the bitter
end" said o. N. Hilton, chief of coun-
sci of the Western Federation Of
Miners, who has represented Presi-
dent C. f. Meyer here since the lat
ter's deportation THE outcome is
due entirely to the attitude OF the
companies. They wanted everything
and would concede nothing"
The unions last word was an offer
to withdraw the Western Federation
from the field, it's place to be taken by
a union affiliated with the Michigan
Federation of Labor, the United Mine
Workers, with which the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners is affiliated, or some
similar body This was rejected alb
solutely by the companies. Word OF
the negotiations was telegraphed to
the secretary of labor by Mr.. Dens-
more He said that a full report OF
the efforts made would be made BY
him after his return to Washington.
