APPROPR|AHONFOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS
 INCREASED IN HOUSE
$5OO,O00 Annually Provided for Schools in Amendment Adopted to the General
 Appropriation Bill
By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery, August 31.--(Special.) )-B, majority of nearly two to one, tn. house this afternoon adopted an amend ment to the general appropriation bii offered by Representative Davis of Wal ker increasing the public school appro priation from ss5O.OOO to $5O0OOe annually The Davis amendment brought on warn fight, and Il stronF efforf Apas made t make tl,s stidittoual approptte ton oontin. gent upon the consent of the governor as was done at the 1911 session of the legislature
 As is remembered. $5O0,00O was appro priated for common school purposes In 1911, but $150.0OO was made contingent appropriation. None of this contingent appropriation was available, however. for the reason that the treasury was never in condition to warrant the payment of the extra fund.
 The appropriation made this afternoon has no strings attached to 1t. Another fight was precipitated when Representa- tive Davis offered an amendment to cut off the appropriation allowed in the bill for the payment of salaries and expenses of the officials of the prison inspection department. This amendment was defeat ed by a large vote.
 As is known. the house at the first session passed bill to abolish the office of the prison inspector. but the senate up to this time has refused to consider the bill. That the sentiment In the house has changed with respect to this depart ment was indicated by the vote on the Davis amendment to cut off the appro- priation to the department
 Representative Weakley and Shapiro of Jefferson, Tunstall of Hale. Johnston of Madison and others offered vigorous op position to the Davis amendment.
 The general appropriation bill was then pa ssed with few minor amendments.
 Earlier in the afternoon there was a debate on a motion made by Representative Johnston of Madison to reconsider the vote by which Represen tative Rogers bill, providing an amend ment to the constitution allowing re- cuction in county area was taken from the adverse calendar during the morning session. The vote on the question to re- consider was 46 to 46, one of the few tie votes recorded during the session.
 The bill provides a constitutional amend ment allowing a reduction in the areas of counties from 600 to 4O0 square miles. and was introduced principally to allow a division of Marengo county.

 The remarkable measure, which In all probability will he somewhat modiAcd, folIowss

OF
 PETTUS COUNTY BILL ID BE POSTPONED
Welch Substitutes Bill Pro- viding New Courthouse and Jail for Bessemer
 as Compromise
ny HUGH w. noBrRrs

Montgomery, August 31.--(Special ) Representative welch of Jefferson an nounced today noon that he would on tomorrow move indefinitely to post. pone the reconsideration of the vote by which the house last week put em- bryonic l'ettus county out of commits sion,
 The annoupceirsnt fcilcvcd stn asreemsnt entered into several hours previous by members of the delega- ton. In giving up his dream of Pettus county Mir. welch secures for Besse :. mer new jail and new courthouse. A bill so providing has already ob- iained a favorable position on the house calendar and with the support of a solid delegation will go through the lower branch. Senator Judge will put Il through the senate.
 While Mir. Welch has failed by di : rect action to secure Pettus county, there still remains hope that through indirection he may secure what he de- sires. MT. Rogers of Sumter. as is known. has bill providing for the submission of constitutional amend ment which. if indorsed by the people. will automatically divide all counties of the state having a certain popula- tion. It Is his idea that Alabama, like Georgia. should have numerous small counties; that state so arranged is more prosperous and more rapidly de- veloped internally. Should his proposed amendment be put Into effect Pettus county would be in fact created.
 And there still remains the shapiro bill. which would not only create Pet tus county. but Birmingham county an we'll MT. Welch will naturally support this bill and if it Is amended in such manner that before it can become oper- ative 1t will have to survive in adtlt : tion to statewide test local test 1t may be successful. As Is known, this bill would divide Jefferson into three parts and combine the municipal and county governments in Birmingham.
 As a result of the compromise there fore. Mir. Welch appears greatly satis- fled; and because of the compromise citizens of Birmingham and Bessener who had come to zee the "nreworks'' tomorrow returned home this after noon.

Funston Forces Strenrthened


 Washington. August 1.-Two regiments of infantry and one of cavalry were or. dered from Galveston tonight to reinforcs American troops patrolling the Mexican border. Secretary Garrison announced that the war department was sending the additional forces at the request of Major General Funston, commanding the bor- der patrol.
 The secretary explained there was nc emergency at this time so far as he knew, and indicated that the troop movements comprised merely part of general plan for strengthening General Funston's po- sitions.
 The Fourth infantry and Sixth cavalry will go to Harlingen. Tex; two battalions of the Nineteenth infantry to Fort sam Houston and the Third battalion of the Nineteenth to Del Rio.
 When the raids along the Texas border several weeks ago were followed by sem sational reports of preparations for n general uprising of the Mexican popula- ton. Governor Ferguson appealed to the war department for more troops. Secre- tary Garrison said at the time that, while the federal government would expect the state authorities to deal with all purely internal disturbances. such forces as might be necessary would be added to the command Of General Funston when- ever the general made the request.
 Galveston. August 31.--Orders were
