W. R. WALKER HERE
 FOR SHORT VISIT
James A. Farrell's Assistant COnfers With Tennessee
 Company Officials

w. R. Walker, assistant to James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel corporation, is in the city for a few days. Mir. Walker reached here yes- terday from St. Louis, and said that he could not resist the temptation of paying Birmingham a short visit, being nc fur ther away than St. Louis. There is said to be no significance attached to the visit of MT. Walker at this time. He said that he came down merely to look around and that his trip was of no special impor- tance.
 MT. Walker, who is regarded as one of the best informed operating men with the corporation. was in conference yes- terday with officials of the operating de- partment of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
 T have nothing special here,' said MT. Walker. "I was in St. Louis and thought would run over to Birmingham for a short visit. It is a very rare pleasure to be here, and I wish that could come here often. I shall never forget the en- tertainments provided for the members of the steel institute upon the occasion of our recent visit. The city of Birming- ham excelled the most sanguine expec- tations of those who attended and won reputation that is getting wider and wider.
 T think business is improving. There hag been quiet season, but think the situation is better now and l believe 1t will continue to get better day by day. Birmingham is a district in which the officials of the corporation feel a great interest, and am sure that the dis trict may confidently expect the hearty cooperation of the United States Steel corporation in its efforts toward further greatness"

WEATHER[Y MUST BE STUNG, HENCE THE TALK OF INSECTS"
 -T. c. M'DONALD
Comes Back at Weatherly. Reiterates That City Com missioner Is Not a
 Taxpayer

IT. c. Mcdonald, whose personal con- troversy with James weatherly, city com- missioner. has enlivened the bond issue campaign, yesterday added another chap ter to. the incident with the following statement:
 T cannot understand why Weatherly should continue to make threats at me. Weatherly in his speech on the sth at East Lake asks, Who is Tom McDon- ald?' reply that he is one who believes that cities and individuals should pay their debts. He is a taxpayer and helps to pay Weatherly's salary, while he goes around abusing him. Four years ago, while member of the legislature, after the people testified their will that the city should have commission form of govern ment, he worked for the passage of the bill creating it. It seems that Weath- erly thinks that was doing nothing for the 'betterment of the community in general, in which opinion a great many others concur-since we got him on the commission Four years ago he was down at Montgomery, laying around the legislature, playing local optionist to get an appointment. He was down there playing prohibtionist with this legisa- ture in order to prevent the reduction of his salary
 If Weatherly is so anxious for the 'betterment' of Birmingham, and thinks the bond issue is such an important factor in that betterment, why does he not ac- cept my offer to go with him to the courthouse and show where he pays a dollars worth of taxes, and thereby con vert him to the uplift side and so gain many votes for the bond issue. Weatherly lxf. fav coin what he will do for you? I am not a candidate for that office, but if the peo- pie elected me and I did not give them better government than Weatherly has. financially and otherwise. I'd resign the place and give up the salary Weatherly probably stands better with the corpora tions, which he once represented and now stands sponsor for, than I do, but taking the people generally, I think I can hold my own with him. Weatherly must be 'stung' or he would not make mention of insects so often.'

The protest follows;
 Birmingham, April g. 1915. ITO tho Honorable Board of Revenue: to vigorously and earnestly protest against the accommodations now given jurors who, by reason of serving the county. are forced to remain from home all night
 This Jury was compelled to spend the night at a hotel which at the best could not be considered better than third class and where tho accommo- dations were not such as a juror Of this county is justly entitled to re- ceve. Also the conditions as regard safety were particularly poor. The building is very old. of obsolete con struction, contains great deal of in- flammable material and is not pro vided with adequate means of escape in the event of fire We believe the lives of jurors would be in great dan- ger should fire occur al In our upin- lon 1t would be practically impossible 10 escape from the rooms in which this jury spent the night.
 'Ne respectfully submit that jurofs are entitled to far more consideration than Is at present shown and that proper accommodations can be secured at slight increase over what is now being paid
 We are confident the above vii, receive your earnest consideration.
