ID MAKE INSPECTION
 .OF STATE AID ROADS.
Will Require Counties to Make Necessary High
 way Improvements

Montgomery, February 25.-(SpecialD State Highway Engineer W. $. Keller and Assistant Engineer R. P. Boyd have been instructed by the state highway commits sion to make an inspection of all state aid roads constructed in Alabama dur ing the past four years with the view to requiring the counties in which these roads have been built to make all neces- sary improvements on the highways.
 Resolutions requesting an inspection of the public roads that have been con structed under the supervision of the state highway department were adopted at meeting of the commission today
 Since the highway department has been in operation a number of counties in which state-aid roads have been con- structed have not kept their roads in good condition, and a campaign will be started at once looking to the immediate inn provements of these highways. l. s|
 The highway department, as announced several days ago, will continue to CO., operate under the laws creating the de- partment it having been held by the for mer attorney general that the appropria- ton made the department by the legis- lature of 1911 was an annual appropria- tion and was made continuous
 The department, therefore, will con- tinue to extend aid to all counties desir- ing 10 construct public highways, pro- vided they comply with the conditions set out in the law.
 The members of the commission con- ferred with Governor Henderson relative to continuing the work of the department and the chief executive expressed the de- sire that the department operate as for merly. When the legislature reconvenes a law will probably be enacted trans ferring the funds of the motor vehicle department to the state highway depart ment in lieu of the annual appropria- ton Of $1o4,O00. but until such law is passed the department will continue to enjoy the appropriation made by the leg islaure of 1911.

GOVERNOR BUSY
 WITH MANY BILLS
Expects to Approve Nearl, 40 In the Next Few
 Days

Montgomery, February 25.-(Special ooVernor Henderson has awaiting his ap- pfoVai In the neighborhood of 90 or 4 plils passed by the legislature before ad- Journment on last Thursday. Among these measures are the child labor bill, the bill apoiishlng the oyster commission, pro Niuihe iocai taxation for the support oi pupiic schools and large number of lo- cal bills.
 1t is understood that the governor will aprcve most of these bills within the next few days Others he will probably allow to remain over until the legislature re. convenes in July. Among the latter mea S. ures is the bill abolishing the excise com missions in the various counties of inc state in which liquor is sold.
 This bill the governor will not sign. and he has so instructed the members of inc excise commissioners. Governor Tender. son declared that he did not think the Ia w abolishing their office should become ef- fective until July l. next, at which time the state wide prohibition laws will be- operative. The governor maintains tha the exercise commissions should remain, Tn operation as means of securing the better enforcement of the laws.
 As is well known, the governor. lunder the constitution, has authority to allow all bills to remain on his desk during the recess period that were presented to him six days before the adjournment of the legislature. Under this authority he will keep the excise commission bill on his desk
 The governor may take his pleasure in signing the various bills on his desk, though any measures he may veto will have to be returned to the legislature within two days after it reconvenes in July.
 There was some speculation among of- ficials at the capitol today relative to the status of the bills that the governor may not act upon within six days after ad Journment of the legislature, some mem bers of the state government holding that these bills would have to go over until the legislature reconvenes. However, the preponderance of opinion was that the constitution gives the governor authority to act upon them at any time before the legislature meets again in July. At the same time he is given authority to hold them on his desk until the second legis- lative day after the recess.
 This is the governors opinion, accord ing to information given out at the execu- tlve's office, otherwise it is said he would have acted upon a number of important measures lying on his desk
 The governor has gone to Troy to spend several days, the first respite he has had since he assumed office, anl will not re- turn until Monday. Next week he will act upon a large number of bills on his desk, among them the child labor law, the local taxation law, and tke bill abol- ishing the oyster comn,ission.

CHARGES PRIESTS
 "SNIPED" SOLDIERS

Los Angeles, Cal, February 25.xR. P. DeNegri, former Mexican consular rep resentative at San Francisco, whos has just come from Vera Cruz, said today that the specific charge on which Gen eral Carranza intends to deport 90 of the Catholic priests held at the Mexican temporary capital, is that they "sniped" men of Obregon's army when it entered Mexico City and attempted to kill Obre- gon himself
 The proposed expulsion, according to previous reports. was based upon the alleged failure of the priests to pay a war assessment of half a million pesos.
 DeNegr said several thousand rifles were found in the churches of the Mex ican capital and that the priests had used the church towers as vantage points from which to fire on Carranza S men. The priests alleged to be guilty of snip ing were all Spaniards, who had sup ported Huerta, according to DeNegri.
