 Shortly after E. B. Almon of Tuscum- bia, speaker of the Alabama house of representatives, announced himself cam didate for Congress from the Eighth dis trict, Congressman William Richardson died The hope of Almon's friends that he would be unopposed was only short lived, for very soon Judge Ballentine of Huntsville, MT Callahan of Decatur and MT Watts, who had served Congress- man Richardson as secretary announced. On the evening of April 6, as a result of the primary election, MT. Almon lacked only Al votes of securing a majority over his three competitors He made a second race against MT. Callahan and was returned an easy winner.
 In the first primary Almon carried Col bert, Jackson. Lauderdale Lawrence and Limestone. Madison went for Ballentine and Morgan for Callahan. The vote of the candidates follows: Almon 7606. Bal lentine 2102, Callahan 3667 Watts 2715.
 The second race was spirited, but AL mon was never in danger. It is gener- ally believed that the nominee will make Alabama valuable congressman. He is going to Washington determined if pos sible to improve the Tennessee river un- til no other improvement is necessary He Is imbued, too with determination to master Muscle Shoals in order that the latent power of that gift of nature'' may be harnessed and used for the good of the people of the state and the south

AUTO EQUIPMENT TODISPLACE MEN
Fire Horses as Well as Men Will Feel Effects of the
 Change to Be Made

The truth that progress is made to the disadvantage of some people was proved yesterday when it became known that when the fire department is completely equipped with automobile service certain firemen, now drawing wages from the city. will be relieved of duty
 While no official statement is made or authorized, 1t Is learned that it is the plan of the present to reduce the force by three firemen at each of the stations. All horses will be discarded.
 It was learned in addition that the cost of the equipment. first estimated at s35,- o0o will not be so large by more than S5o0o. To obtain better figure than even S2Iooo the city may be compelled to ac- cept a proposition whereby 1t will make larger payments at shorter intervals and pay a higher rate of interest.

4. B. $ 4. PROPERTY 7 BRINGS S715,5O0 Alabama Terminal Go. Sold
 to B0ndhOlders
 ORDERED BY COURT
Negotiations Here Yesterday, It Is Said, Were Mere Formality. Road in Receivers
 Hands H5f

The properties of the Alabama Terminal company. subsidiary of the Atlanta. Br- mingham and Atlantic railroad. were sold yesterday to the bondholders of the lat ter companysfor $715.500.
 The sale here was mere formality. Vic
 tor l.. Smith of Atlanta, acting as an agent of the federal court in Atlanta,
 conducted the sale and received from
 Bradley w. Palmer a check for $25,000 to
 secure the sale. The sale was ordered
 some weeks ago by the federal court in
 Atlanta. The Atlanta. Birmingham and
 Atlantic has been in the hands of re- ceivers for some months.
 The properties purchased yesterday in
 End. the freight house on Eleventh street
 and other properties in this district. The
 sale also includes the lines, branch lines, coal and such other properties of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic into this section.
 The negotiations here yesterday were att
 tended by E. T. Lamb, receiver and gem eral manager for the Atlanta, Birmingham
 and Atlantic, and J. l.. Edwards. freight
 traffic manager, who was for some years here with the Southern railway. They re- turned to Atlanta with Mr. Smith, who conducted the sale, yesterday afternoon. 1t is stated that the formalities of sale
 being over, the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic will at once assume the name of the Georgia, Alabama and Western rail- road, which was suggested sometime ago. The elimination of a very large amount of indebtedness by this sale, and the low ering appreciably of the carrying charge of the properties will enable the line to
 make progress. 1t is believed. A new finan- cial scheme has been evolved. It is stated that the Old Colony Trust company of Boston. heavily involved in the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic, will assist in getting money for the new line, which will enable the company to make some ex- tensions and betterments which are con sdered necessary.
 In the receivership and subsequent sale of all the properties of the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic there has been no Harry NJ. Atkinson, former president and receiver of the line. He handled the finances of the company and brought the line to Birmingham under the most dis couraging financial conditions. He
 worked during the dark days of 1907-s-9-10 to get the line here, and finally succeeded MT. Atkinson was personally heavily inter-
 ested in the line. He is the principal own
 CT of the street railways in Atlanta and Is devotng his full time to the manage
 ment of those properties.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
 WORK IN COLORADO
Mrs. Hundley Shows How Women Brought About
 Order During Strike
To the Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 An article in your issue of June 6. under head of Hotel Lobbies." bore an obser- vation of an "old citizen" upon the uues- ton of woman suffrage in colorado--a sort of meditation upon the deplorable condition which Colorado has recently presented including declaration of a, latter-day essayist, that 'All government rests upon force." and cited these two to question the success or failure of women in politics A
 lie says: For the past two decades
 Colorado has experienced female suf- frage and it stands today as an example of the worst governed state in the union"
 Woman suffragists all over the country are delighted whenever a citizen, old or
 young, calls into question the record
 made by women suffragists in those states where they have been tried for any length of time; for, after all. their rec ord is the very best argument in favor of their enfranchsement, and Colorado. the state cited Is no exception to this rule.
 AL critical times, where the home and
 families are involved, the enfranchised women of the country always como to the rescue, and this they did in Colorado
 when it became evident that the men of the state were unable to cope with the situation alone By the force of their womanhood armed with their right to
 the ballot, an army of Denver women put an end to the bloody warfare that has been raging in the Colorado mining zone and have proven themselves genuine statesmen in that great crisis. In answer to a call issued in the name of the wom- anhood of that state for a meeting at the capitol, the women voters met and though the governor refused at first to see the committee delegated by the women to carry their command to the chief execu- tive their vigil was not relaxed for a moment, and they did not leave their post until the governor of the state did see
 them, until he did admit that the state
 militia was worse than useless. and until
 he did appeal for federal intervention. Immediately the men began disarmng in the coal districts and the prospects for a peaceful settlement of the troubles were made brighter.
 An editor from the Rocky Mountain News and Times Denver, Col) has the following to say in regard to women in the Colorado strike:
 "That women as voters will apply the protective instincts of motherhood to pub lie affairs when they cast their ballots Is one of the strong arguments advanced in favor of woman suffrage urged by many persons who for no other reason favor universal suffrage.
 Could n more compelling demonstra- tion be had that the argument is true than the action of the 1000 Denver women who on Saturday induced Governor Am mons to appeal for federal troops to end the deaths and fighting in the coal strike district?
 'It was the protective spirit of mother

There is every reason to hope for democratic success. The party has proved itself to be a constructive party, and unless we 'overdo' the programme. a democrat should be elected in 1916"
 The senator took occasion to say that the reports that he would not be can didate for reelection were without au- thority.
