Mir Ioseph Testifies


 M " Joseph was called. He is the dis tributor for Alabama for publishers of school books and testified that he was allowed 20 per cent, out of which he was required to pay 10 per cent to distributors il> other sections of the state.
 He said that as far as he knew through competitive bidding, books were to be ac- qrired in Alabama as cheaply as could be expected. The bids were strictly competi- tive, he said, as far as he knew.
 He said he didn't know how prices for books in Alabama compared with prices in other states.
 About Banner Mine |. J. F. Webb, superintendent of Banner mine, was called. He testified regarding conditions at that mine. He said he had seen one whipping since last october. and that was for an attempt at escape.
 His testimony was very similar to that of Warden Hall, the day before, and was very brief.
 Dr. Denny's Statement
 President Denny concluded his evidence with the following statement:
 And now let me make a brief, hurried 1y prepared statement. have explained that the trustees of the University of Ala bana. acting through their executive com- mirtee. authorized the loan which we have been discussing. The credit of the state was at stake. It was a time of emer- gency. The legislature through mere inadvertence had failed to appropriate funds adequate to pay interest on state warrants. The sitaution demanded patri- otic action. Banking institutions were hestating to give further help. One of the foremost members of your body. Hon John B. Weakley was aiding the gov ernor in providing relief. Our great fel- low citizen, Hon. w. P G. Harding, had established the conservative nature of the procedure by his own co-operation in pre- vious years. Here was modest endow- ment fund held by tie University of Ala bama This fund. Under the statutes of the state, could be invested only in state OF national securities Here was a se- curity that in good faith was to be re- garded as a state security. To invest in this security was not only in substantial conformity to the statute, but was also rendering patriotic service to the state in the great matter of maintaining its credit. What was our patriotic duty in such a stuation2 If the university had refused to help the state in it's financial crisis, with what sort of heart or con- science could it have made appeal to the representatives of the people when great crises came into it's own life?

HOME FACE FEELING
 BECOMES POPULAR

No complexion treatment yet discov- cred seems to have become so generally and so immediately popular as the mer- colized wax process. Evidently the req son is that this method actually gets rid of bad complexion, which can hardly be said of any other. To temporarily hide or bleach the defective skin with cosmetics cannot compare with the ef : feet of literally removing the. skin it. self Mercolized wax takes off the of- lending surface skin in flour like parti- cles, a little at a time until there's none of it left The new complexion thus produced exhibits a healthy glow and yirlish beauty obtainable in no other way This wax, which you can get at your druggists, is applied at night in the same way you use cold cream, ana washed off next morning.
 Here is one thing that actually does remove wrinkles, remove them quickly, and at trifling cost: Powdered saxolite, | oz., dissolved in E pt. witch hazel. Use as a face bath

 fled that D. s. Simpson, former personal secretary to Governor O'Neal. prior to his testimony that he had never been in- structed not to charge personal telegrams of the governor to the state, had declared to the governor in the hearing of the witness, that he, the governor, had in- structed the secretaries to have personal charged to his personal account.
 J. H. Barr, chairman of the board of directors of the First National bank, tes- titled that whereas the Spanish war fund when transferred to the account of "Em- met O'Neal, governor was something more than $20,000, when the account was transferred to Charles Henderson, gov ernor' 1t amounted to more than $24000.

 Father Coyle's Address
 To-day all over the earth the hearts of the sons and daughters of the sea divided Gael turn with love and with longing to a dear little island washed by Atlantic's waves Many hearts to" day are homesick for Ireland's hills and valleys, for hawthorn hedges and for hazel glens, for haunted raths and ruined castles. for ivy-clad cloisters and pillar towers standing sentinel in hallowed graveyards where lie the dust Of Ireland's patriot dead. Yes, today from deep Canadian woods, from busy American marts of trade, from india's Jungles, from African veldt and Aus tralian bush, from the fleets lombard ing the strongholds of the Turk and from the trenches of France and Elan ders, Irish hearts are turning with love and loyalty to that dear land whence spring our. scattered race. God save Ireland is on every lip, and God save Ireland Is breathed in every heart, and we today, as is fitting, in this city of the southland. join the millions of our exiles all over the earth and we, too, beg the Lord to bless and prosper the dear old land.
 And why today this world wide out pouring of love and longing? Oh, to-

University of Alabama testified that the state borrowed from the university in 1914 the sum of s27,500 with which to pay interest on outstanding obligations. He read the resolution adopted by the ex- ecutive committee of the university under which the loan was authorized. Judge Henry B. Foster of Tuscaloosa and Dan iel Pratt of Autaugaville were the mem bers of the executive committee present when the resolution was passed, he said.
 He next gave an exhibit of the checks by means of which the money of the university was passed into the treasury of the state.
 The witness testified that the money had not been paid back by the state to the university.
 The witness then asked why the leg islature, in paying indebtedness to banks, had failed to pay the university. No an- swer was made.
 The witness said the preceding legisla- ture had appropriated S5,00o per annum for the maintenance and upkeep of the university in it's various departments. and that the university has a permanent ap- propriation of $25000 per annum.
 The conditional appropriations. he said, have been paid in in warrants. He made an exhibit of the warrants.

 There followed mutual explanations.
 Sailing Makes Recommendations
 Col. Jesse F. Stallings. the next witness, was called. He said that in connection with his other business, he was the head Of an insurance company. It was regard ing the insurance department of the state that he was first questioned.
 He spoke of the fees and taxes insurance companies are forced to pay. He testi- fled that a fee of $40 for each 8 days he had to pay for the examination of his company under the direction of the insurance commissioners was exorbitant.
 He suggested that the law be amended so that of daily fee for examinations should not exceed S15, and that the num- Der of days in each year in which any one conipany might be examined should be limited.
 About Banner Contract
 He was asked about the Banner mine contract between the Pratt Consolidated Coal company and the state of Ala bama.
 He said that he had made an effort to re rnedy what he considered defects in the contract. At the solicitation of the gov ernor, he said. he criticized the contract in writing. Ed Flynn. he said, aided him in making the criticism.
 ''In one respect my criticism was acted upon," he said That is my suggestion to make such arrangements by securing T guarantee that the contract would be as remunerative as other contracts had been, was adopted.'
 He said that he had not been reained by the Tennessee company regarding the contract He said he did not recall tell ing anyone that the governor had been offered a better contract than he subse- quently accepted. He said he may have offered a better contract for the Tennes- see company than the Pratt company cor tract. He said that he would prefer not discussing a matter which occurred in the room of the governor of Alabama. Hc was finally excused with the under standing that he would return tomorrow with the letter of criticism of the contract which he wrote to the governor and other matters

Some Sharp Passages


 know why the governor had released cer- tain contingent appropriations to the uni versity so closely following the borrow ing of the money from the university
 Dr. Denny had an idea and so stated it. that Senator Bonner was suspicious of some wrongdoing.
 The denial was made.
 Representative Smith asked Dr. Denny if he was not "a particle sensitive this afternoon"
 The witness said no and added that he would prefer that questions be propound- ed on basis of fact rather than a basis of suspicion
 He then said that the opening of nego- tiations between the state and the unlVer- sty was not proposed by the governor.
 He then declared that he was unable to give the governors reasons TOT ms transaction. He suggested that Sem ator Bonner ask the governor
 Senator Bonner asked the witness 1T the fund of $2750O had ever before been lent without interest.
 q am responsible for that phase of inc situation" the witness replied "We preferred to trust to the patriot ism and honor of the legislature to pay the university the proper amount of interest,"
 Dr. Denny then read preYlousiy prepared statement.
 During the statement, Representative Welsh asked pr. Denny If he had come to interrogate the committee or to be interrogated Representative Smith asked if the witness had come to take charge of the meeting He said that it was Dr. Denny's manner which caused him to ask the question.
 pr. Denny replied that he had come as a representative of what he con- sidered the highest work being done in the state today. And then he resumed the reading of his statement.
 When he concluded, he was vigor- ously app1auded. He then expressed willingness to answer any question. He stated by way of parenthesis that he thought the custom of holding quadri- ennial sessions of the legislature a faulty custom.
 Insinuation of Discrimination Representative Greene wanted to know why the university got 100 per cent of it's appropriation while other institutions got only 50 per cent. Dr. Denny asked Representative Greene if he thought it a discrimina tion if the institution which got only 50 per cent got at the same time more actual money than the institution which got 100 per cent. | mo"
 The witness then stated that other institutions including Montevallo, got more appropriations from all sources than the university. Representative smith asked the wit ness several questions q can't answer them categorical1y and be understood" he answered. Answer them "paregorically' then" retorted Representative Smith. If you excuse me-" the witness re- piled, T will answer them in my own way"
 Question of Economies He then answered the question to how the university could have loaned the state on the one hand $27.500 and received from the state at the same time an ap- propriation of $75,000.
 He declared that although he knew the state was embarrassed, he recognized at the same time the economic principle that even in time of stringency no state could afford to strangle it's wards. Representative Smith at this point ex-

"The Rosary" Coming

Seldom does an author por-
tray such an important charac-
ter as that of Catholic priest,
and have it meet with approval
from the clergy. But this is
just what happened to Edward
E. Rose, author Of "The Rosary"
which will be seen at the Dream
Theatre next Saturday, October
30. In "The Rosary" Mr.. Rose
has drawn a character of Rev.
Brian Kelly, a Catholic priest,
who interferes in domestic trou-
bles between man and wife, and
eventually shows the unlimited
amount Of good that can be done
by priest, not Of conventional
stage character, but a real man,
a big man Of faith, strength and
conviction. The character has
been endorsed by the clergy all
over the country, and it is said
to be the strongest character of
the kind every presented on the
American stage. The character
will be portrayed by Mr.. Blosser
Jennings, an exceptional artist,
who goes through his work con-
vincing the audience that he has
mastered the authors concep-
ton of the role. The rest Of the
cast include Reginald Knorr,
Harry Price, A. G. Van Slyke,
Florence Wright, Eleanor Rella,
Nettie De Coursey, Henry Gar
ron and others. Not motion
