 1t is understood that Chairman Brown. Secretary Radcliffe and other Chamber of Commerce authorities have under con- sderation some exceptionally attractive entertainment features for the big con vention. Anywhere from 1500 to POGO dele gates from every section of the state are expected to attend.
 Last year there were over 1200 delegates to the convention, a big advance over the previous year. and the same development Is anticipated this year. The association has become one of the most influential and important in the state, having as members practically every retail mer- chant In Alabama.
 The annual convention in Birmingham in August has come to be considered one of the most important events of the year.

NEW ORLEANS WILL
 GET BRANCH BANK
Federal Reserve Board Will Authorize Opening of
 New Institution

Washington. June 19.---After several weeks consideration of the merits in the case, fhe federal reserve board, 1t was said today. intends to authorize the Atlanta federal, reserve bank to open branch Tn New Orleans No final vote has been taken on the proposal, but it was understood there Is practically no opposition to 1t among board membets
 The New Orleans branch probably will be the first authorized under the fed eral reserve system.
 The Atlanta bank several months age asked the boards permission to ss- tablish a branch in the Louisiana city and details of the proposed establish ment have been discussed by the board at several meetings. It has not been determined how much of the capital of the Atlanta bank will be credited on the books to the branch, nor how many of the member banks In the Atlanta dis trict theoretically will be assigned to do business through New Orleans. Many other details remain to be worked out but they may be settled within few weeks
 The federal reserve act provides the method of choosing directors of branch bank, three to be selected by the board and four by the parent bank, one of the seven to be made manager of the branch by the reserve bank
 The board virtually has decided also to postpone until next fall considera- ton of the request to shift to Balti- more the reserve bank now at Rich mond It is probable that no branch bank will be established in Baltimore be- fore that time. The board was said to- day to be waiting to determine what lsaaas sfs,rr tla, ..1. ..,a.. reserve banks will have on the need for change in the reserve city of that dia- trict, or of the opening of a branch in Baltimore.

REPORTS OF BILLS AIMED AT RAILROADS
Number of Measures Being Prepared for Introduction
 When Legislature Meets

Reports yesterday in industrial fight is to be made in the legisla ture when it convenes next month to have adopted various bills to regulate and control the railroads of the state, much of which is looked upon in business circles with disfavor as it is not be- lieved the railroads at the present time are able to carry any additional burdens
 full crew bill, maximum train bill anti-negro helper and fireman bill employers liability bill, headlight bill and similar bills are being prepared by railway labor union interests, it is claimed, and strong efforts to have them adopted are to be made.
 It is understood that railway and business interests especially look with alarm upon attempts to pass full crew and maximum train laws. The max mum train law is bill requiring the companies operating in the state to operate trains within certain limits as regards the number of cars, providing that no one train shall haul more than a given number of cars. The full crew bill. it is said, provides that in addi- tion to the engineer. fireman, conductor and two brakemen. there shall be a third brakeman on every train. The anti-negro helper and fireman bill would make it impossible for negro to hold these positions on railroad in the state.
 It is stated that large number of the members of the legislature have expressed opposition to the bills
 Full crew and maximum train laws, 1t is stated, were adopted by the leg islature of Missouri sometime ago and at referendum vote of the people of the state were declared unfair and un- just to the railroads and stricken off the statute books

LEGISLATORS ANXIOUS
FOR EXTRA SESSION
If Governor Calls Session Will Be
To Try and Fulfill Party
Pledges.

The consensus of opinion
among the Legislators and the
politicians who vegetate about
the capitol is that there will be
an extraordinary session of the
Legislature.
The only question is when the
session may be called. The talk
of an extra session to follow the
expiration of the Fifty-ninth i'm
mediately was current even be-
fore adjournment. But that dis
appeared when Gov. Rye called
some of the members before him
and stated that they might obvi-
ate an extra session by consent
ing to strike out the $50 donation
for each member from the mis-
cellaneous appropriation bill. He
assured them that in the event
the bill carried any such unwar-
ranted donation that he would
veto it and an extra session
would be made necessary.
When the members agreed to
abandon their contest for the $50
it was understood that the ses-
sion would be called for this fall
but there appeared to be no indi-
cation that it might come at once.
Now public opinion is crystal
izing about the prospect of ses-
sion within a month. The meas
ures to be considered whether
the session is called within a
month or within three or even
four 1oeeame paramount if it con-
ceded that an extraordinary ses-
sion is in prospect.
1t is probably not putting it
too strong to say that the friends
of Senator Lea are anxious for
an extra session. 1t is claimed
that they are daily advising the
governor of the pressing necessi-
ty of the passage of some anti
raiload legislation and especially
the enactment of a compulsory
primary law.

N. c. &St. L. Makes Improvements

In the establishment ola mod
ern mechanical coaling station at
Hollow Rock Junction, serving
the engines on the Nashville d.
vision and portions of the Padu-
cab and Memphis division, the
Nashville, Chattanooga & ST..
Louis Railway management has
made another step it the intro
duction of more modern methods
and efficiency. The new station
has brought about a reduction
of from 7 cent to s cents per ton.
In addition there is a saving in
time, a locomotive being able to
coal now in one minute and a
half instead of from 10 to IL
minutes under the old method.
The new coaling station was
erected at a cost of approximately
$12, 600, and is one of the first of
its kind to be used in the South.
It's operation is automatic and rail-
road officials claim it is a revela-
ton.

Farmer a Suicide.

William Jones a well-known
and promising farmer of Stella,
six miles west of Murray, was
found in the yard of his son, Bun
Jones, one night last week with
his throat cut, and life extinct.
Mr.. Jones and his wife had
separated. He was in town the
day before the occurrence and
purchased a new suit of clothes
and, returning to Stella, he sat
around the store until dark, and
was later found in the yard with
life extinct. The cause of the
suicide was believed to have been
the demented state of Mr.. Jones
mind. He was 60 yers old.

state, as it is, after manner,
like taking money out of one
pocket and putting it into anoth-
err. The charge, however, pre-
vents discrimination in the
handling of the labor and regu-
lates the placing of it. If the
convict labor were free, every
county in the state would he in
sisting on it, and, since all could
not get it, dissatisfaction would
result. Another reason for the
charge is that some counties will
not need the convicts, and if the
work were to be done free, or at
the expense of the state, one
county would be receiving the
good at the expense of another
county, which would help pay
the expenses in their taxes, and
would receive nothing for it.
1t is expected that many coun-
ties will begin at once to make
arrangements to avail themselves
of the convict labor, which will
be open for contract in large
numbers during the summer
months especially. There is a
provision in the measure that
sets a minimum of labor at the
Petros mines during the summer
months, and all convicts above
this minimum, which is just suf-
ficient to keep the mines running
and the plants in good repair,
will be available for road work.
President Denton of the board
of CONTROLS very much interested
in the possibilities of the new
plan, and predicts a great impe-
tus in good road building in Ten
nessee as a result of the convict
good roads labor measure.
