SENATOR OVERTON
 HERE YESTERDAY
Says Underwood Will Sweep His Sec ton of the State-Delighted
 With Press Club

John W. Overton, former state senator from Randolph, who introduced in the senate the greater Birmingham bill was guest of former Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray yesterday at the Birming- ham Newspaper club. Mir. Overton was here on personal business and returned to his home yesterday afternoon. He said that Oscar w. Underwood would sweep his section of the state and that if every section came over to the in terest of the faithful servant as his dis trict, the vote would be overwhelming Senator Overton said that the political situation was encouraging in that he be- lieved Underwood and Conner, as well as other constructive statesmen would be elected and that the next administration would be as progressive as the last one of Governor Conner
 Mir Overton was unusually delighted with the attractiveness of the Newspaper club, saying that it was an ideal place. He qualified as a nonresident member.

 MT. Conner was asked concerning his remarks in Pike county in reference to the governor, MT Henderson, the members of the commission. He had been quoted as having said that gang should be jailed"
 This is what I said" replied MT. Conner. q told the people that when Russian generals surrendered to the Japanese they were put in jail and court-martialed: and that on par ity of thought the officials who sur rendered to the railroads should be put in jail and tried"
 When asked if he had anything to say in reply to Will T. Sheehan's card, Governor Conner answered that he had not read that card. The editor of the Montgomery Advertiser, as is remem- bered. when charged with having con- ferred with Charles Lewis, alleged rep resentative of the Wholesale Liquor Dealers association. fired back with the charge that MT. Comer's leutenants had been conferring with saloonkeep- CTS in Alabama.

dust down in front of their homes.
 'I suppose there is as much or more dust and dirt in this suburb as any place in the city, and I know the commissioners say they have not enough money to sprinkle tho streets themselves. But that Is their lookout. 1t is their business to secure legislation and conduct affairs so that they will have some money to sprinkle these streets. The taxpayer is doing enough, l think, as it is"
 T am not willing 10 pay the tax pro- posed said J. A. Seman of Woodlawn, and l do not believe that the people in my neighborhood would be willing to pay for it. If the ordinance is passed l do not believe there would be but very few people out here who would sign petition to impose on themselves the tax in order to secure the sprinkling of the streets.
 We taxpayers feel that we are paving enough now and we naturally object to putting an additional tax on ourselves. The city should sprinkle the streets it. self, but If it hasn't got the money then l do not think the taxpayers should he made to do it. If it was street improve ments it would be different matter or if I lived on street car line it would be a different matter. but while there is dust where I live we can keep it down with an occas asional use of the lawn hose for it is not bad enough to have an addi- tional tax assessed upon us.'

OF THE SUBURBS
 OBJECT TO SHRINKING TAX

People in the suburbs, where the pro- posed sprinkling ordinance would have its actual application. appear not to be exactly in sympathy with it. A majority of those interviewed seem to feel that the city should either do the sprinl<ling or else let the dust alone. even though it is bad. Others say they themselves would be willing to pay the proposed sprinkling tax. but at the same time do not believe that majority of their neighbors would be willing to do so.
 James Hllhouse. North Birmingham. stated yesterday that he was strongly op- posed to the sprinkling tax. ",rhe dust out here in North Birmingham is bad enough" he said. We have been kick ing about it for years, but l do not think the citizens here should be taxed to rave the street sprinkled
 Tt is the city's place to sprinkle the streets or flush them or whatever they care to do to keep down this dust The street l live on is macadam.

WRITES VEIL HIS FIGURES TOO LOW
 FOR CLAY COUNTY

Colonel Marcus Well. who made a forecast last Sunday on the approaching Underwood Hobson race, was greatly pleased yesterday to receive a letter from Clay county saying that the fore cast had underestimated Underwood s strength in that county. The letter was from J. r. Willingham of Willing ham & Bell, cotton merchants at Line vile, and reads
 T saw your estiamte of the result in the approaching primary as between Underwood and Hobson. You are too low for Clay county. This county will give Mir. Underwood 400 to 300 majority Watch this county and see. Hope you are right the other counties"
 Colonel Well replied as follows yes terday:
 Received your esteemed favor dated March 10, and l am glad to know that the majority for Underwood in Clay county will be from 400 to 500 instead of 250, as per my forecast of last Sun day. l know that l am too low on most of the counties in the Underwood column, but l am doing the best l can to be conservative. as this forecast is made by me for the Hobson men as well as the Underwood men, and I try to be fair and square to both men and to the people of Alabama, knowing that the majority of my friends in this state believe in my forecasts and l wish to continue to have their confidence. Thanking you for your letter. l re- main yours very truly.

MOORE'S HOME IN
 N0RWOOD IS SOLD Rough by J. w. Cook of Maben, Miss.-Considera-
 tiOn Not Announced

The residence of Walter Moore in on the Northside, has been sold to John w. Cook of Maben, Miss The price was not announced yesterday by the inter ested parties. The general impression. however, is that the property was sold at between $40.OOO and $5O,O0O.
 The announcement was made yester- day by Mr. Cook that he intended to remove to Birmingham where he has extensive property holdings, sometime during the next few months Until he comes here to live, however. the home will be occupied by Mir Moore, and his family. The house is situated on tri- angle corner lot, near Fifteenth avenue. and Twenty street, Norwood. The home is beautifully finished through out, and the lot is something over three acres in area.
 MT. Cook said while here yesterday that he was very glad that he had made up his mind to return to Birmingham, as this city was q place of unusual at traction. He said that Birmingham's reputation was spreading over the whole country and while he liked Ma ben. Miss and held extensive lands there, at the same time, he had once lived here, and was coming back.
 The sale of the Moore home caused considerable surprise, as there was no intimation given by MT Moore that he would even consider an offer for the place He and MT. Cook apparently chanced to get together, and the trade resulted. While no announcement has been made, it is understood that MT. Moore will construct a new home near his former residence.

BLOOD POISONING
 CAUSE OF DEATH Abrasion on Boys Foot, Caused by New Shoes,
 Proves Fatal

The remains of Raymond Smith. aged years. the son of Mr. and Mrs R. l. Smith of 6ll9 First avenue. Woodlawn were sent to Opelka yesterday afternoon for interment by the <. w. Woodin In dertaking company. The boy died at an early hour yesterday morning of blood poisoning.
 The cause of the death is traced to the fact that he was given new pair of shoes about four weeks ago. 1t is stated that the shoes were rather tight and a slight abrasion on one of his heels fol- lowed his wearing of them. It was not thought that this amounted to anything until blood poisoning set in.
 Then the lad was taken to local in- frmary and an operation followed. It ap- pears that the operation was not sue cessful and the foot of the Smith boy continued to swell. This necessitated an- other operation, in which the entire bone From tho knee 10 the ankle was removed This. too, failed of it's purpose and an operation on his side followed. This also failing to stop the spread of the poison and fourth operation was performed This was not successful and he sue cumbed.

POWELL TALKS OF
 WORK ON Q. & |.
Double Track Construction Will Be Completed as
 Soon as Possible

T. c. Powell, vice president of the Queen and Crescent route, was in Bir- mingham yesterday. He was en route to his offices in Cincinnati, after spend ing a few days at Meridian, where his company and all Southern railway lines arc being sued for $50,00O,0 900 by the state. MT. Powell would not talk about the case, as 1t Is noN being tried. He discussed the double track work being done by his company, and the work that is projected, and which will be fin ished during the next few months. He said that yesterday a second main line from sherman, Ky, to Dry Ridge, Ky, was placed in operation In addition there is being rushed other construc- tion on the northern division of the Queen and Crescent, which, when com pleted, will give that division 37 miles of continuous double track from Lud- low, Ky Mr. Powell said that it. was planned to get the double track south of Birmingham and into Chattanooga completed as soon as possible. He said that the plans for the work were being handled as rapidly as possible, and that there would be few delays, according to the present outlook.
 "The business outlook is very en- couraging," said MT. Powell ''The present traffic volume is holding up well, and we have no signs that busi :, ness is going to be very materially af- fected during the next few months. Of course. Ne all hope not. The industrial situation in Birmingham. while not as good al it has been in other years Is very good, even at that. The manufac- lures seem to be doing good business. and I am sure the railroads are running along as smoothly as possible under the circumstances.
 Birmingham, at least, does not seem to be affected in any wise by the dull conditions that are said to prevail else where. I am told that the situation here is unusually good and the out look even brighter The presence in this city of the Steel corporation is enough to make business reasonably good in this locality"

SAYS HENDERSON FAILS TO TELL WHOLE STORY OF FORMER SETTLEMENT WITH THE RAILROADS
"1t's the weakest thing I ever saw.

Its the weakest thing I ever saw. .
 B. R. Conner had just stepped from the Louisville and Nashville train at the noon hour. The gubernatorial can didate was tired. In addition, it was raining. Therefore, he spoke with diff ficulty.
 Yes, it is very weak" he continued. "charles Henderson reminds the peo- pie that we settled with certain rail- roads. He gives that fact as an ex- cuse for the surrender in Montgomery the other day.
 But he does not tell you that when we settled we settled on freight schedule as well as passenger.
 Why, MT. Hanson of the Central railroad came to me and offered a set tlement on the passenger differences. refused to arbitrate on those grounds. MT. Finley asked me what I wanted. I handed him the code.

B. R.L.&P.CO. ID GET ANSWER THIS WEEK
Commissioners Expected to Refuse By-PrOduct Gas
 Proposition

The city commissioners are working hard on the by-product gas proposition recently made to them by the officials of the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company Commissioner Weather 1y yesterday confirmed the statement that they intended to settle the matter this week and draft an answer to the gas con- pany as to whether or not they will ac- cept the offer.
 Neither MT. Weatherly nor the other two commissioners would give any indi- cation of what they may do in this mat ter. but there is an impression at the to refuse the offer.
 At the last conference between the gas company officials, held the first of the week. the commissioners asked for a lower scale of gas rates and a higher quality of gas than stipulated by the gas company in its original offer to the com- mission. It is believed that President George Bullock told the commissioners that his company could make no further concessions and the declination of the offer by the commissioners is, therefore, anticipated.
 The commissioners are proceeding on the basis of by-product gas rates in other cities, from which they have secured data and in which they say the rates are lower than those proposed by the local gas company. If they decline the by product gas offer, it will mean that the original gas controversy started by City Attorney Romaine Boyd for cheaper rates in Birmingham will be again taken up, this matter having been dropped when the gas company came forward a month or two ago with their offer of by-pro- duct gas at rates about half those now in effect on the present gas.
