 "GRAFT" COMMITTEE
Introduces Resolution to Have Governor Name Body
 to Probe Graft Charges
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, January 26-(Special.) Senator Holmes, in presenting a startling resolution this morning, did not hesitate to make use of the shorter and per- haps .'ugler" term, graft
 His resolution, in other words, provided for the appointment by the governor of a graft committee. His resolution pro- vided that the investigator-in-chief was to be remunerated with money not to ex- ceed s200 and actual expenses per month.
 Immediately following the introduction and reference of the resolution, the cor respondent of The Age-Herald, interview ed Senator Holmes.
 Does your bill,' thesenator was asked contemplate future graft and provide for the investigation of that future graft?''
 The senator shook his head.
 Your resolution" the reporter con. tinued, has in mind, therefore, graft which has or might have been committed, and which you think might require in vestigation by a special committee?"
 MT. Holmes agreed that the deduction was correct.
 The resolution, when. read, attracted general attention and aroused interest to an abnormal degree.

LOCAL DELEGATION AID IN COMM|SSARY
 CHECK BILL FIGHT
Judges Measure Would Make Checks Transferable. Senator Thinks Present
 System Is Iniquitous
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, January 26.-(Speeial.) ) A large delegation of citizens of Bir- mingham, headed by John W. oNeill, ap- peared this afternoon before the senate committee on mining and manufacturing in the interest of the bill of Senator Judge, which is known as a bill to elimi- nate the commissary check system in vogue in the Birmingham district
 The bill, as matter of fact, would make the commissary check which is at the present time nontransferable, trans ferable. Senator Judge is of the opinion that the check system, as now practiced, Is iniquitous, and that it's elimination will be effected if the checks are made trans ferable. The Birmingham delegation asked that the bill be favorably reported. It is generally understood that the labor organizations of the Birmingham district will all actively get behind the mea sure.
 Up to the present time the corpora- tons which own the commissaries and adopt rules for their government, have not outwardly displayed interest in the Judge bill. It is known, however, that their contention will be that when eommfssary checks were transferable, they were bought at a profit by men of means just as men of means now buy script from witnesses who testify in Jeff ferson county courts. As to whether or not the corporations will get actively in the fight is unknown

DIXON AND O'BR|EN BATTLE T0DRAW IN
 AN EXCITING BOUT
Jacksonville Boy Strong Un- til Sixth, When Bessemer Lad Shows Real Form. Wilson Gets Trimmed
By RICHARD F. LussIER

It was conceded by ringside experts that Sailor Dixon earned draw with ''Yank" O'Brien at the B. A. c. last night by his desperate mixing in the last two rounds. Up to that period the milling was very mild and in o'Brien's favor
 Sailor Dixon entered the ring the a jolt, however. by the dilatory tactics of his handlers and the refusal of the local boy to fight over eight rounds. The bout had been advertised for 10 rounds.
 Finally the men entered the ring after much preliminary pickering. It was an- nounced that Dixon weighed 155 pounds, and O'Brien 1i5 pounds. It was also an- nounced that Eddie Hanlon challenged the winner
 In the first round Dixon was wary and with his long reach kept o'Brien at a distance. The large crowd hooted at the end of this round as not blow had been struck.
 The second round was replica of the first. Both fighters appeared to be afraid of each other and only spared for an advantage. There was not a clean
 blow struck in the second round.
 Tn the third round o'Brien began to get the range on his tall and rangy adversary and with several tricky shifts managed to bring the claret from Dixon S
 nose. O'Brien also got in some good
 wallops in the stomach and the round ended clearly in his favor.
 The fourth round was O'Brien's by a large margin. The boy from Jackson vile seemed to hit the Bessemer boy at will as Dixon was unable to cover up. The aggressiveness of O'Brien made him popular with the fans and the round ended with O'Brien receiving all the cheers In the fifth round Dixon landed his first clean blow-a straight left to O'Brien's nose which brought the claret. O'Brien eountered strong with a shower of rights and lefts forcing Dixon to break ground OBrien kept following Dixon about the ring and the friends of the Bessemer boy began to lose faith in their favorite.
 In the sixth round Dixon looking fresh from the rubbing of his trainers left his corner with the determination to carry the fight to OBren and get back his lost laurels. In part he succeeded for he punished the youngster from Jackson | vile rather severely by sledSehammer blows in the kidneys. The sixth round was 6 draw.
 l It was the seventh round that furnished

EXCISE COMMISSION BILL IS LIKELY TO HIT A SNAG
 WHEN TT REACHES SENATE
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery. January 26-(Special, Representative Tarrants bill poviding for the abolition of the system of excise com missioners throughout Alabama, effective with the passage of the bill, will sail through turbulent waters and will, if indications are accurate. finally go down never again to appear.
 The bill of the Jefferson solon was re- ported favorably and later passed by the house. It has not yet reached the tenn perance committee of the senate. It is learned. however. that several of the members of that committee, including Chairman Denson, are opposed to the bill on the ground that without the protec- ton of the excise commissions. crime car nivals in all big cities will begin at once and continue until July l when prohibit ton becomes effective in Alabama. At that date, all excise commissions will ipso facto become defunct
 While the above described situation is accurate the fate of the bill was rem dered more certain this morning when the plea of a Mobile citizen delegation aroused sentiment The delegation from

the thrills. The showing of Dixon in the sixth had given a hint of what he could do, but he surprised his friends by the ferocious methods he applied on O Brien. It was a case of swapping licks and Dixon was hitting faster and harder than C'Brien with the result that O Brien was q badly beaten individual by the time the round ended. It was Dixon's round by a wide margin.
 In the eight round Dixon followed the same tactics as in the seventh episode and succeeded in earning a draw decision. It was conceded that the decision was fair by the majority of the fans.

There will be another stag next week.

JUNIOR BASKETBALL
 LEAGUE RESULTS

A severe defeat was handed to the sophomores by the juniors while the freshmen received a big surprise package and narrowly escaped defeat at the hands of the youngsters from Paul Hayne in nasium yesterday. The score of the first game was 13 to 7, with the juniors on the lucky side and the freshmen won their battle by the count of g to 6.
 The games played yesterday were the best played this season, especially the nior-sophomore game. The juniors were up to their old-time tricks and gained a substantial lead during the first half. The sophomores were unable to overcome this lead but fought desperately in an effort to stave off defeat. Jones and Reeves played fast and steady game for the juniors and were in practically every play. The sophomores also had a hand in the starring line. Captain Agee put up the best they could produce The soph- omores fell below their standard both in passwork and in shooting, many shots being missed directly under the goal
 The Paul Hayne squad put up a nifty game and threw a big scare Into the freshies camp. Had the visiting boys held up their pace that they set in the opening nalf different tale would be told. Under the leadership of Davis a strong team has been rounded out oi inexperienced material and before the close of the season they promise to have a winning team. Davis and Burney dio excellent work for the Paul Hayne boys while Sellars also did good work.
 'The summary follows: Juniors Jones and Goldstein, forwards; Reeves Center Norris and Bodeker, guards. Sophomores Fox and Heldmah, forwards; Lassiter center; Watkins and Agee, guards Field goals: Jones, 2: Goldstein, Reeves, 2; Bodeker 1; Agee. 1; Lassiter ?. Foul goals Lassiter, 1; Jones' ].

Mobile urged that that county be per mitted to retain it's excise commission. One of the advocates of that course was Judge D. H. Ellington of Mobile. who insisted that the commission in Mobile was most competent and effective in mini mixing offenses against the statutes. The bill, therefore, when it meets the con tention in the senate, will be further ham, pered by the opposition from Mobile, which opposition is strong enough, ac- eording to indications, to cause the ex- eeption of Mobile even should the bill survive by weathering the storm. How ever, as stated, friends of the members of the excise commission of Jefferson may congratulate them that the prospects of their being turned out on the "cold, cold world at once. is a prospect no more.
 Representative Tarrant took the position that the commissioners of the several municipalities of the state could care for the liquor traffic until July l. and thus save considerable sum of money now expended in the payment of salaries. Sem ator Judge stood with Representative Tarrant and other Jefferson house mem- bers, but he stated this morning that lie would like to except the Mobile com mission, which bears an excellent name throughout the state"
