TONNES REPORTS
ON CONDITION OF
JACKSON COUNTY

Montgomery, January Especial
Examiner of Public Accounts Charles
l.. Townes has submitted to the gov
ernor his report on the officials OF
Jackson county. The examiner found
the accounts of nearly all the officials
in fine condition and praised them
on the manner in which they have
adm nistered the affairs of their Of
fices.
Probate Judge James r. Haclworth
was found to be due the state SIS for
an error in the mortgage tax account
and IS for an error in the license
tax account. He is also due the county
50 for an error in the mortgage tax
account.
In reference to the books of County
Treasurer Dallas Brown, the examiner
said, "a great many warrants may
have been illegally paid" but that he
was unable to charge the treasurer
with the amount of these warrants
pending a determination of the matter
by the courts. The books of Treasurer
Brown were declared to be in neat
condition. The accounts of the other
county officials We're found to be
correct.

GIBSON TALKS OF
COMMITTEE PLANS
Impression Formed at Capi-
tai That Single Primary
Will Probably Be De-
cided Upon

w. Asa Gibson returned from Mont
gomery last night and says everyone is
showing keen interest III the preliminary
discussion of what the state executive
committee will do at its meeting tomor-
rev. Mr.. Gibson, who keeps in close
touch with the political situation in the
state, will probably return to Montgomery
tonight.
Two features of the committees work
are Folding the center OF interest,"" said
Mr.. Gibson. THESE are, shall there be
a double or single primary and shall pro-
vision be made for nominating both shor.
term ana long term candidates for SER
ator?
''F'rom the information I could gather
it looked today as though the single pri-
mary would be decided upon. l gather
/ this because those who favor the single
primary are working very hard, while
those who favor the double primary arc
apparently Indifferent. They have their
convictions but are nor working as ag-
gressively as the other crowd.
However, I look for the really big
fight of the committee meeting to be
made on whether short term senatorial
candidates shall be provided for. 1t is
hard to determine what will be done Jon
this question, but there is no doubt that
a big fight is brewing

STARTING PLANT is
MUCH LIKE FISHING

The American Steel and Wire company
plant at Fairfield which was scheduled
to start yesterday, was not quite in con-
dition to make wire. The most intense
interest has been aroused at EnsIey and
Fairfield regarding the beginning of oper-
atoms but c. w. Lutz, the official in
charge, is still unable TO fix a snate date.
Mr.. Lutz explained last night that as
well acquainted with the situation as he
was it was quite impossible for him 10
foretell when the plant would actually
start operation.
1T is very much like fishing,' said
Mr.. Lutz, introducing that subject even
in cold weather. zone sits on the bank
and waits for the cork to bobble. Then
one jerks up the line and finds a fish or
maybe just an empty hook, preferably
the fish. When the cork bobbles at the
plant we will run through some wire ard
then get busy. The cork has not duckei
yet. IT may at any time now"
From what Mr.. Lutz says it is believed
that the plant is to start this week At
Ensley last night it was reported that
the plant would start today and work up
fair ouput by January 15

STEEL SUIT HEARING
OPENS HERE FRIDAY
Testimony to Be Given Be
fore Federal Examiner
WILL BE IMPORTANT
Will Show Relations of Tennessee Co.
With This District-OperatOrs
Will Testify as Will
Business Men

The United States Steel corporation will
offer before an examiner of the United
States government evidence beginning
Friday next as to the relations of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad COM
rany with this district. 4,ti
Jacob NJ. Dickinson of Nashville. for
mer attorney general of the United
States, will appear for the government.
For the Steel corporation, David Reed
of New York and Walker Percy will ap-
pear. The hearing will be conducted by
an examiner as yet unknown here, but
pI obably the same official who has heen
engaged. in hearing evidence on the. case
in New York city.
1t cannot be stated definitely but it is
understood that the testimony to be Of
fered here by the corporation counsel will
terd to show the competitive conditions
of this district and also the hroadness of
the sforporation in it's policies here. That
the company will successfully show that
no unbusness like methods have been
undertaken, and that the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company is a fair COM
petitor is conceded even by those in COM
petition with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company. sf aat,in stG
Inasmuch as the whole anti-trust suit
against the Steel corporation is based
largely on its acquisition of the Tennessee
Coal Iron and Railroad company during
the saualy days of 1907-S, it is consid-
tred probable that the testimony taken
here Will be of the most important char
acter. iel
In order to prove the existing conditions
here, it is understood that the Tennessee
Coal Iron and Railroad company will
place on the witness stand some of the
foremost and best known operators of the
district. In addition quite a number of
business men dealing in various lines of
merchandise will be asked to testify for
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company before the examiner.
The general opinion is that the hearing
to begin here Friday will last several
days. 1t may take the remainder of this
year for the Steel corporation to con-
clude its entire defense which has been
under way now for several rronths past.
The extent of the testimony to be offered
Is unknown to local officials
The best indication CT the attitude Of
the people OF this district toward the
Steel corporation Is that 1900 employees
signed a petition with which the COM
pany, had no connection asking for a dis
nissal of the suit so business could GO
ahead. In addition, the department. OF
Justice was spet1tiened by many thou
sands of Birmingham men in all walks
of life to dismiss the proceedings against
the Steel corporation

'In ogder to sustain the contention that

to the satisfaction of the court before
an injunction pendente lite should bt

The rule is well settled that an ordi-
nance Of municipality, the effect of
which is merely to deny liability on a con-
tract or to declare the reputation there
OF, and which prescribes no antagonstic
rights or duties, is not legislation inn
pairing the obligation, though the con-
tract SO repudiated is valid and binding.
1.-The ordinance complained of in the
bill in this case fixes no rate to be OBJ
served by the plaintiff. 1t merely de-
clares void contract which fixed rates.
1t leaves the plaintiff at liberty to fix its
own rates, subject to liability only if they
are unreasonable. 1t seeks to deprive the
plaintiff of the protection of the agree

Differs From Carriers of Passengers

Again in this case the danger OF
breaches of the peace as a result of the
plaintiffs resistance 20 the ordinance is
removed because of the differing char

OF a carrier of passengers. If the plain
tiff's patrons refuse to pay the rate fixed
by it, it has but to discontinue their

subjects itself only to the liability to be

a contract, in good faith but under mis-
taken view of his rights. Equity does not
