VIEWS DIFFER ON
 PROBE COMMITTEE
RobersOn and Judge Pitts Comment on Their Obser-
 vations at Capital

Two views regarding the work of the lesislature's probe committee were ex- pressed in Birmingham last night by Rep resentative J. Fall Roberson of St. Clair county. and Judge Llewellyn Pitts of Perry county.
 MT. Roberson had just returned from Montgomery where he went to interview the governor. When he completed his business with the chief executive he visited the probe room.
 T had been under the impression, '' said MT. Roberson. "that the committee was busying itself with digging up scan dals and causing ghosts to walk from closets and skeletons to rattle their bones. had been fearful that fascinated with work of exposure, the committee would overlook it's more important duty, that Is endeavoring to map out a programme un- der which the departments could be op- efated more economically and just as ef- fectively as at present.
 When l entered the chamber however, my eyes were opened I heard the ex- animation of Hector D. Lane of Court lane. He was asked regarding the agri- cultural department. His opinion was sought regarding this and that branch of service; he was asked if the state could dispense with this or that, or whether or not it would be wise to reduce office forces here or there. I saw at once that the committee While following it's own in- clination regarding the airing of old scan- dals, was not overlooking, at the same tirne, it's more important function, that of reorganizing the several departments of the state government
 Judge Pitts who visited Birmingham yesterday differed with MT. Roberson.
 '1s seems to be the purpose of the com mittee," he said, Ito endeayor to humili- ate the former administration. So ardent ly has the committee gone to work in this respect, that 1 have reached the con usion that it was named for the specific purpose of acquiring information which might reflect on the administration of the preceding governor.
 If the committee continues it's efforts to discredit others without attempting to man out programme for the wise and economical administration Of the affairs of state, then 1t will have served no pur- pose whatsoever

 Supplant Naughty Pdrisian Fashions
 of Past Season, Says Madame Husted
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

sand and putty shades and black and whites are used with charming effect
 Rough edges, old-fashioned 'ruchings' or 'pinked' edges are used a great deal'' said Madame HuFted, the kind that the 1860 styles featured, and on nets and heavy laces- -'filets' and 'Venice'-they are very attractive. These materials are the dernier cri in sartorial circles. as well as the soft taffetas, shot taffetas and silver laces. In fact, there are so many lovely fabrics for the spring season that it is hard to specify. One thing that re- mains the same as last season, and that Is the length of the skirts; they are still worn very short-some of them as short as seven inches from the tips of the shoes s

POWER COMPANY TAKES OVER PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS OF FIVE CITIES

| amount of credit or to command the Use of capital for fresh expenditures, Improvements and developments and this merger into a larger company should enable these properties as whole to make such financial arrange ments as will insure adequate funds for reaching all possible power con- sumers within the territory of the Alabama Power company and also make needed Improvements and extensions in the case of some of the smaller properties. This is notably the case at Huntsville, where the street railway. power and lighting property will De overhauled and brought up to strictly modern conditions, assuring high class service; in the Decaturs. where the same order of Improvements and ex- tensions will be made in the power and lighting properties and in Annis- ton, where the gas supply will be made assured and adequate to meet all the city's requirements, and also street railway in the form of new equip ment, apparatus, etc, and it Is also the intention to make impros ements in the Etowah Light and Power com rany property. These new arrange ments also insure to the smaller towns accessible to the lines of the Alabama Power company electric current for power and lighting through the imme- diate construction of a distribution system in these places.
 Fresh Capital Contemplated
 The company's plans contemplate the early investment of additional fresh cap- ital within the state to the amount of ap- proximately S2,000000, with provision for an additional $3,000,00o. In order to render 1t practicable to secure funds for these purposes. the bondholders of the Alabama Traction, Light and Power company, linn iff ba If A AIol h Power company. have consented to make their bonds in effect second lien. There by the Alabama Power company, under its new merger, has been able to market it's first mortgage bonds. The fresh cap ital brought into the state by tfsoee in- terests is to be added to a fixed invest ment already amounting to many mill lions of dollars. It must be very clear to all thinking men that this can only prove of great benefit to the people of the state, and that the men who have had the courage and confidence to do this thing can profit by 1t only through mar ketins in one way and another the elec- trfc current generated by the hydro electric plants belonging to the company and not a ldlowatt of this power can be marketed except that it is more to the ad- vantage of the customer to secure his power supply in this way than in any other
 These changes have been accompanied by encouragement of the principal ex- ecutive offices of the holding company and the Alabama Power company With the minimizing in importance of the ac- tivities of the Alabama Traction Light and Power company, it's president, James Mitchel lof New York, assumes the pres idency of the Alabama Power company and Frank s.

.P|UTE INDIAN CHIEF
STAYS HIS BROTHER
OLD PosEY SHOOTS OLD scoTTY
BECAUSE THE LATTER couN-
sells SURRENDER
Navajo Scout Brings Word Into Camp
Of Posse That Old Chief Shot
kinsman When He Pleaded
for Peace.

Bluff, Utah.--Indicative OF the spir.
1t which prevails in the camp of
the renegade Piute Indians was the
story which was brought here Friday
by Navajo scout who had again Wis
tied the outlaws in an effort to secure
the surrender of the band.
Old Posey, one Of the chiefs of the
Piute band, shot and killed Old Scot
ty because the latter wished to give
up the fight with the whites and make
peace. Scotty was a full brother of
Posey. According to old settlers here
the two Indians were opposite in
every way Posey has always been
sullen and refused to bow to the laws
OF the federal government. Scotty, on
the other hand. was pleasant, 80
those say who know him, and was
among the last of the Piutes to join
with the outlaws But few details of
the killing have reached here, but the
Indian scout is believed to be reliable.
Before further attempts are made
to arrest Old Polk and Hatch and his
Piute followers on the warpath, every
opportunity will be given the United
States Indian agents and Indian police
to remove the friendly Indians from
the territory likely to be the scene Of
combat to the southern Ute reserva-
tion In Colorado.

Hiding Place Of Indians in En-
deavor to Prevent Their Escape

Bluff, Utah.-The United States Of
ficers and posse here will probably
adopt the plan of starving Old Polk
and his band of outlaw Piutes, forti
fed In Butler wash, into submission
by surrounding the Indians and pre-.
venting their getting any more sup
plies and exhausting the small game
In the vicinity of the Indians camp
That any attempt to rush" the
Piutes in Butler wash would result
in the loss of many white men Is ad.
mitted, as the hostiles are well armed,
have at least sufficient ammunition
to put up lengthy fight and are for
the most part excellent shots.
The details of the plan that have
leaked out are for the best shots in
the posse to hold the Indians in their
present position during the day time
by long range rife fire, and by STRAIT
egg to draw the fire of the Indians to
deplete their supply of ammunition,
and II possible pick off some of the
redskins. At night Gordon Of scouts
will be drawn around Butler wash to
prevent the Indians slipping through
the lines and making dash for the
mountains.
