John ]. Fitzgerald, of the House Ap.

Contracts involving additional ap.

were authorized.
The appropriations of the final ses-
sion of the Sixty-third Congress were
approximately $1.000,000 less than

Fitzgerald statement shows that they
would have been about $12,000,00C
more had the Postoffice ana Indian
bills passed. These bills failing OF
passage, continuing resolutions were
adopted making available the small

Congressman Frank II. Gillett, rank
ing Republican of the Appropriations
Committee, places the blame for ex-
cess appropriations squarely upon the
executive branch of the Government
and not upon Congress. The Admin
istration. he says, made no effort to
reduce its estimates although con-
fronted with q Treasury deficit.
That the Treasury deficit will be a
big one by the end of the current fis-
cal year is frankly predicted by

Most Old People
/. Are Constipated

The wear of years impairs the ac-
ton OF the bowels. With advancing
age people are disposed to restricted
activity and exercise. which is re-
sponsible for the constipated condi-
ton of most old folks. The digestive
organs are more sensitive to the de-
mands made upon them and rebel
more quickly.
A mild. effective remedy for con-
stipation, and one that is especially
suited to the needs Of elderly people,
women and children, is the combina-
ton of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that Is sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Peps!n. A free trial bottle

tuberculosis Danger
Slight on Railroads

The dangers of tuberculosis infec-
ton i'm railroad travel are not as great
as supposed, according to Surgeon A. d.
Foster, of the Public Health Service,
who has made an extensive study of
the question.
Surgeon Foster says that the Pullman
porter Is more liable to infection than
any other railroad employe. because
he is constantly In the coach and
shakes down berths and otherwise stirs
the dust. The dangers OF casual con-
finement whit a tuberculous person are
not as grave as might be expected, he
finds.

LOOKS LIKE SUICIDE.
SAYS CORONER SPAIN
Spends Day Investigating
Shooting of Harry Garrish.
Police Drop Case

1T locks to me like plain case of sui
eide, although l cannot find motive for
the act.
Coroner Charles L. Spain made the
above statement last night after conduct
ing a thorough investigation into the
shooting of Harry H. Garrish aged 81
years, local manager of the National Ca sh
Register company. at his residence, 172O
Fourteenth avenue, south, about TAO
o'clock, Thursday night Coroner Spain
stated that he would continue the inves-
tigation this afternoon.
Il spent the entire day on the Garrish
affair."" said Coroner Spain,'' and was
unable to ascertain any reason why the
man should kill himself. He apparently
had no business troubles, and everyone
of his friends agree that his home life
was very happy and congenial. But that
he shot himself there is little doubt as
the pistol was snapped three times and
the barrel placed against the body Just
above the heart, which left black smudge
of powder on the clothes. 1t could not
have been an accident owing to the many
times the trigger of the pistol was
pulled"
At police headquarters it was stated
that the entire affair was in the hands of
Coroner Spain, and that as Detectives
McGill and Christian had reported the
death of Garrish as a suicide. no further
investigation was necessary. 1t is I'M
likely that any further police action will
be taken.
1t was stated at the residence, 1920
Fourteenth avenue. south, last night that
Mrs. Garrish was still in highly nervous
condition and that no funeral arrange
ments over the remains of her husband
had been announced. 1t was also stated
that the son, Howard Garrish. who is
employed in Atlanta as a salesman for
the National Cash Register company,
would arrive in the city this morning

BOYD EXPLAINS HIS
FORMER REFERENCE
/ TO WALKER PERCY
Says Statements in Letter to
Governor Did Not Involve
Percy's Personal
Honor

In response to demand from Walker
Percy that Romaine Boyd. city attor-
ney. explain what he meant by state.
ment already published to the effect that
Mr.. Percy had lost much of his infiu.
ence among local people, Mr.. Boyd wrote
yesterday the following letter:
Birmingham, January S. 1915
Walker Percy, Esq, Birmingham, Ala
Dear Sir: Replying to your letter oil
yesterday in which you ask for reasons
referred to in my letter to Governor
O'Neal on which I based my statement
that YOU had lost much of your influ-
ence in this city. l feel that you are
fairly entitled to be advised of such rea-
sons. as follows:
1T was published in local paper last
fall, and the house journals of the last
legislature show that your name is signed
to the report of the joint conference
committee carrying a recommendation OF
the adoption of section So f of the reve-
nue. bill, which exempted the Birming.
ham Railway. Light and Power COM
pany and the Birmingham waterworks
company from license taxation l am
however, assured today by gentlemen
who ought to know that this particular
section of the bill never came to your
attention prior to the adjournment of the
legislature.
THE Birmingham commission act pre-
pared by you and the municipal code ex-
pressly prohibit any city official from
nCaopfiy,p
utility company. While still a represer. a
tive in the state legislature from Jefferson
county, you became the local counsel for
the Birmingham Waterworks company
although it has not been charged that
such retainer by the Birmingham Wa.
terworks company was considered until
sometime after the adjournment of the
legislature.
There was a more or less general up
ward revision of the already high flat
rates on water charges last fall and
meter rentals were added to the rates
on business houses. 1t is believed that
this was done largely pursuant to your
advice and that the company has under
your advice assumed a most aggressive
policy of cutting off water at a time when
| there was general suffering and distress
in the city and when the utmost for
bearance was being observed by the gen.
eral public.
These are matters which, while not
involving your personal honor, have,
believe, affected your local influence, and
being matters affecting the general pub
| lie are. in my opinion, legitimate sub
| jects of public criticism.
| 'T will take pleasure in giving a cop,
of this letter to the local press, and mail
ing copy to Governor ONeal. Yours
! very truly. ROMAINE BOYD"
