 Highly Successful

Montgomery, July 2o.-(Special) Road construction in Houston county is reaching a high state of perfection through the labor of county convicts. an dthe roads are ping built at less cost than anywhere in the state, according to G. E. McEachin, warden of the con vict camp in that county.
 Warden McEachin today called on w. s. Keller, state highway engineer. re- garding road work in Houston county. He declared that convict labor on the roads in that county had been most cus- cessful, and stated that Houston had some of the best highways in the state.
 The county works from 25 to 30 con- victs and Warden McEachin said there were few escapes. During the past two years the county has built about 100 miles of roads by convict labor, and the work still continues.

Suggestion for New School

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In a conversation yesterday with Mir J. Standish Clark, he suggested that if Birmingham were to take up the propo- sition of establishing a great school of technology, that such school should be under state control and be admins tered by state authorities.
 Such plan would meet with oppo- sition from the authorities now in con- trol of the University of Alabama and the Alabama Polytechnic institute, as both these institutions have technologlcal departments. Perhaps politics will preclude the following out of such plan as that outlined below, but to the writer 1t would seem solu- ton of several problems that have been vexing the educators of Alabama for years.
 Let the state of Alabama authorize the establishment of a great school of mines and engineering in the Birmingham dis trict, to be a coordinate school with the University of Alabama and the Ala bama Polytechnic institute. Then move here those departments from both these schools which properly belong in school of the character mentioned. Leave at Tuscaloosa the academic and law de- rartments of the university. Leave at Auburn the academic, agricultural and veterinary departments of the A. P. T., as we'll as the great experiment station established therc
 Let the city of Birmingham contribute the site and the citizens and corpora tions of Birmingham contribute the funds recessary for the erection of buildings and the equipment for teaching. The

JUDGE CLAYTON Isl |NOT APPLICANT FOR.
 | THE SUPREME COURT.
Jurist Here to At tend to Some Routine Matters in Local
 Court Today

l Judge Henry D. Clayton is not al applicant for justice of the supreme court of the United States where 2 vacancy, caused by the death of tho late Justice Lurton, remains thrilled When informed last night that tho Alabama congressional delegation, witt the exception of Senators Bankhead anc White, who have already spoken foi Judge R. ". Walker, is working for his appointment to the vacancy, Judge Clayton simply shook his head. It is be- lieNed that while he would be glad oi the promotion were 1t to come unso- licited, the present discussion is more or less distasteful to him.
 "Of course,' he said, T can't dis euss this matter But I am not an ap- plicant in any sense of the word. have not prompted the friends in Ala bama who are said to be writing the members of our delegation
 Judge Clayton came to Birmingham to attend to routine matters in con- nection with the district court here. Since his appointment to the judgeship made vacant by the death of the late uuSc IHolHdS JOleS, He Has been unusually busy. As a result of his &C., tivity he has cleared the docket which had grown heavy on account of Judge Jones inability to try cases due. to his long and mortal illness. Judge Clayton has not only cleared his dock ct, but he has rendered decision in each of the cases save one.
 In regard to the vacancy on the su- preme court bench, Judge Clayton de- clined to talk. He made it plain that he was not an applicant. He indi- cated, furthermore, that the appoint ment would go to Attorney General McReynolds, in his opinion, If the At- torney General desired the appoint ment. This was gathered from his full some praise of the Attorney General when discussing him in other eonnec- tions. Judge Clayton declared that he was able and honest and fearless, and would make a splendid servant in whatever capacity tested.
 q am delighted" said Judge Clayton, that there is every indication of the early passage of the trust bills which were prepared by my old committee. When the legislative programme is completed, then will have come the time to rest. Great prosperity will be our portion.
 When history is written President Wilson will be declared to have been one of America's greatest Presidents.
 He has enacted a magnificent tariff bill and currency bill which Is aI- ready proving a blessing. The trust legislation will be another notable achievement to be credited to the Pres ident.
 His 'watchful waiting policy in re-
 gard to Mexico will be remembered with delight in future yearsl He saved the lives of many thousands of young Americans, young soldiers who would have died from wounds and disease He saved the enormous >expense oi maintaining an army of 200,000 men for an indefinite period on foreign soil And the sum the government would
 have had to pay in the form of pen 1 sions cannot be estimated.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Mir. Bryan in Congress

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In Hotel Lobbies today Prof. J. W. DuBose states that Mir. Bryan was de- feated in 1894 for third term in Con- gress On referring to his reference books am sure he will find that MT. Bryan was not a candidate for Congress in 1894 He preferred to go to the Senate and in case the legislature had been democratic his name would have been voted on. As the republicans had P ma jority he was not elected. The First dis trict in Nebraska had been represented by republican until MT. Bryan entered the race and it returned to the republican fold when he did not run for reelection. Yours truly. FRANK E. CURTIS.
