UTILITY BILL WILL BE
 SPECIAL ORDER MONDAY Y
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, September 17-(Spe- |piai )--The rules committee of the house, in session today noon, made the |Denson public utility commission bill b special and paramount order of busi- hess for Monday.
 This bill, which has passed the sen-
 hte, deprives municipalities of the right to regulate rates and charges
 demanded by all public utility corpor-
 htions, including those which confine their operation wholly to the limits of |one municipal government. It Is claimed by the author of the bill that the right |of cities to regulate service Is specifi-
 cally implied-though not stated. There Is very reason to believe that khe bill will be successful in passage. |It has behind 1t all those who believe

Seventh as strong in the faith of democ- racy as any other district of the state. Jefferson is made a district to itself, Perry, Blount and Bibb being added to the Sixth, and. the new Tenth. The Sixth district loses some of its strongest coun- ties. including Walker, these counties at tached to Perry making, the Tenth dis trict.
 The bill would effect no congressman representing either of the districts of Ala bama, but would legislate out of office, of course, Dr. John w. Abercrombie, who represents the state at large Were the bill to be enacted into law, it is generally believed that Dr. Abercrombie would in the next general election offer for one of several of the most valus ble offices in the gift of the people. He might oppose w B. Oliver for Congress from the Sixth. he might oppose John H. Bankhead for reelection to the United States Senate, or he might oppose Lieut. Gov. Thomas F.. Kilby when the latter becomes a candidate for the office of governor.

erful. and that it's wings and spurs should be trimmed; 1t has behind it., also, the influence of the governor and his administration. Its prime effect would be of course to shear municipali- ties of the power which from time im- memorial they have wielded It's sec ondary effect would be to make of the present railroad commission, the most powerful body of three members in the service of the state. For instead of regulating simply the railroads, as at present, this body will have in charge all telephone and telegraph lines, all street railways, gas. electric, heating and lighting companies, and all other companies which for remuneration, serve the people.
 It is significant fact that the cor porations of the state have heartily supported this bill, and that the repre- sentative of no municipality has op- posed it--unless a distant grumble could be construced as opposition

SHELLS MORE PROFITABLE
The American Can Company Now
Has Contract for Eighty
Million Dollars

New York August THE Wall
Street Journald says: "The additional
order for about $40,000,0O0 shells Is
expected to be announced by the
American Can Company within the
next 10 days. This will make a to-
tai of nearly sSO,OO0,OOO, and it is in
timated that there may be more to
come. Profits on these war orders
should be sufficient to retire the. out
sanding debtntures, pay off the &C
tumdlations on the preferred stock
and leave a substantial balance avail
able for the common stock. The Amer
can Can interest turned down war Or
ders for many months because the
terms and the prices offered were not
attractive. and although details have
not been announced as to the $4,000
900 contract already signed. it is
known that handsome profits are as
sured."

Time To Invite Repose Of Mind.

That which was bound to come has ar
rived. The Atlanta (Ga) Constitution
rises to remark that William j. Bryan
has become public nuisance, and thai
ii will no longer waste its space by
printing his statements. The Paterson

appears to be the practically, unanimous
opinion OF the country that the late Sec
rotary of state magnified the stressful-
ness Of the situation as it related to
President Wilson when he precipitated
his resignation upon an unsuspeeting ma
ton. The New York World has been
figuring up editorial opinion, and out of
l42 editorial extracts printed from news
papers of "a states, finds 1877 disapprov-
ing of Mr.. Bryan, and five at first Civ

course MIR. Bryan had the right to resign
from the cabinet, as his friends affirm,

the break has not been shown. Happily
no great harm is likely to come out of
the performance indeed, time may make

Mr.. Bryan is to continue his peace ad-
voeaey in his own way, and those who
do not like his way will have to stand

in philosophy under the circumstances
are in for nervous wear and tear. But
