DUDLEY AND ASSOCIATES WILL BUILD
 COTTON MILL HERE AT COST OF $5OOOOO|

A plant for the manufacture of cotton goods which will cost more than S5oo- oOe is to be erected in Birmingham by capitalists located here and in Buffalo, headed by Frank A. Dudley of that city. according to a statement authorized by
 Mr. Dudley yesterday before he left for New York. Mir Dudley made a general statement about the location of the plant here for the reason that he wanted Bir- mingham people to fully realize that aside from the Tutwiler hotel he and his asso- eiates were interested in Birmingham. and while the announcement at this time is somewhat sooner than was expected, it will be only a short time before details will be made public. MT. Dudley, who is interested in the water power companies in Buffalo similar to the Alabama Power company. said yesterday that there was every reason to believe that the south

EXTRA ATTORNEYS
 WILL BE SUPPLIED Judge Lane Writes Crow He Will Comply With His
 Request

Extra attorneys will be supplied by the city of Birmingham to prosecute the ap- pealed cases from the city recorders s court as suggested in letter yesterday to the city commission by Judge E. c. Grow, which was printed in yesterday morning s Age-Herald.
 After a conference between the board of city commissioners yesterday the fol- lowing letter in reply was sent to Judge Crow:
 Hon. E. c. Crow, Judge of the Circuit Court, City:
 Dear Sir: Replying to youN letter of today, in which you advise that the judges of the circuit court have decided to de- vote the month of May to the. trial of ap- peals from the recorders court provided the city will supply extra attorneys to prosecute these cases, l beg to advise the city will supply such attorneys and will appreciate such settings for trial of such appeals. It occurs to me- however, that inasmuch as these appeal eases are usually all set on one docket, that it may cause some inconvenience if not confusion if city appeal cases are set in both di- NlSlOnS O1 the cllcult court al the Safne time, and if it can be conveniently ar ranged we would prefer that instead of setting city cases in both divisions throughout of the circuit court at the same time, and if it can be conveniently arranged we would prefer that instead of setting city cases in both divisions throughout the month of May, that they be set in one division only for the months of May and June, and if it is impossible to dispose of all these appeal cases by the end of June, we hope very much that you will see your way clear to calling a spe- cial term of the circuit court in July to continue until all of this business is dis posed of.
 q need. hardly add that long delays in the trial of appeals from the recorders court seriously prejudice the enforce ment of law and order in the city, and the city will appreciate any special con- sideration the judges of the circuit court will show the city in getting some dispo- sition made of all these accumulated ap- peals.
 With best wishes, I am, yours truly

O'NEAL REPLIES ID
 SIMPSONS CHARGE
Characterizes as Untrue Statement Regarding Tele-
 grams Charged to State

Governor O'Neal to an Age-Herald re- porter last night, contradicted the state- ment made by D. G. Simpson. wherein MT. Simpson, in his testimony before the legislative recess probe committee, stated that he (Simpson) wrote in the left hand corner of telegrams sent by the governor relative to the purchase of cotton for fu- ture delivery by Governor O'Neal, Charge to the state," and that it was his impression that he had been instructed to mark them so by the governor. Gov ernor O'Neal stated that that statement was absolutely false, as he had never given any such instructions, but on the contrary, as he testified on yesterday, he had instructed his secretaries to charge all personal telegrams to his private &C., count.
 The governor further stated: "On Mon- day, while in the office of Frank S. White, Jr., MT. Simpson entered and spoke to White and me. and in the con versation that ensued he (Simpson( vol untarily stated that he had been sum money to appear before the probe com mittee He said he presumed they want ed to ask him about the sending of tele- SrdIns dHu ne tnereupon sldteu tndL ie had sent telegrams relative to private matters of the governor while he was employed in the governors office, that the secretaries, McNeel and he, had er- roneously had these private telegrams charged to the state, and that I knew nothing about these telegrams being charged To the state, and had given no instructions that they be so charged; and that when I ascertained that they had been charged to- the state I directed both MT. McNeel and hsm to have the correc- tions made, and the items charged to my personal account, and that this was done at the time.
 ''AIr. Simpsons other statement on the witness stand that I had bought cotton futures as long as he was connected with the state was also false.
 "It might be pertinent to state here that l dismissed Mir. Simpson from the ser vice for gross neglect of duty.''

REGULAR MEETING {. 0F BOARD OF TRADE

At regular meeting of the Board of Trade yesterday afternoon the main subject under discussion was the jitney business Chairman l. F. Young re- ported on the fire insurance situation Secretary w c. Radcliffe reported on his trip to Chicago after conventions
 Mir Radcliffe returned yesterday and stated there was high possibility of securing one of the biggest conventions of the country for Birmingham in 1916 He appeared tefore the executive com- mittee of the association, and stated they were highly impressed with Bir ngham's invitation. The name of the association is withheld yet. One of the committee will come to Birmingham in the near future and the convention place will not be decided until in May
 While in Chicago Mr Radcliffe states he made arrangements with the of ficials of the Greeters of America, who will hold their annual convention in Atlanta in June, to stop off in Birming ham for day, June G.

should make mp it's staple product instead of sending raw cotton to the eastern and northern plants.
 We plan at this time. and have been planning for sometime. to build cotton manufacturing plant in Birmingham" said Mir Dudley. ''rhe matter was first suggested to me when I was here about one year ago. This city seems to be enai- nently the place for such a plant and there seems to be most fortunate loca- tion here for a plant for the manufacture of cotton goods such as we have in mind. I have taken the matter up with some of our associates in the east and the plant, which will cost about S50O00, or maybe more, will be located in Birmingham.
 T am firmly convinced that but for tine unfortunate depression that has followed the European war that the plant would have long ago been announced and would have been on fair way to completion by this time. As it has turned out, the plant will be started perhaps this fall

ROUTINE BUSINESS BEFORE COMMISSION Error of City Clerk Cost Lawson S200-Discussion
 as to Sprinkling

split vote of the city commission was registered yesterday on a question of damages to Reid Lawson for an erroneous sale of piece of property through an error by city clerk in registering the pdyment of his taxes. A figure of SS7 .5O as part remuneration for the loss entaiied by MT Lawson on account of the error was voted by Commissioners Ward and Weatherly. Judge Lane considered the figure too high and voted no. MT. Lawson stated that it had cost him slightly over S200 to redeem the property.
 Discussion of the summer sprinkling of the dusty streets was brought up when l. w. Ross co-receiver of the Tidewater lines. was questioned regarding the sprinx- ling of streets in Ayondale Mir Ross stated there were four jitneys passing along this street to every street car, and he considered 1t unjust to compel his company to sprinkle the street
 The commissioners took the question un- der advisement and stated that in the meantime general policy on sprinlSling would be worked out within the next few days with regard to the Tidewater. Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany and other concerns
 The more important business of the meeting was as follows

 There is no economic reason for the south to ship it's cotton to eastern points at high freight charge and then back again as the finished material. There should be complete consumption of the cotton in the south and the finished prod uce exported. Ne propose to help by this factory in having the south consume it's own cotton and then ship the finished product to the consumers in the north and in Europe.
