HOTEL MEN AGAINST
 PROPOSED MEASURE
Committee in Montgomery Fighting
 Bill Requiring Six-Day Week for Female Help

To protest against a bill in the leg islature which would in effect double the forces of female help in hotels a committee from the local hotels mems association has been in Montgomery two days. The committee is composed of c. H. Nabb. M II. Burt F. B. Shire man and H. B. New. The bill Is to the effect that no females shall work longer than 55 hours per week Of six days.
 The hotels here do not engage their help for that number of hours even under the present conditions. They work 53 hours per week of seven days with a full afternoon off on Sunday. It is stated that if this bill Is enact ed into law that the hotels will be forced to engage new forces of maids, cashiers, telephone operators and oth- CT female help for Sunday and have the regular week day crew on hand a; all times.
 The hotel men are very much wor- ried over that situation inasmuch as It involves quite an expense and they as- sert that expenses are rather hign even at this time and that business does not justify the number of persons at this time employed. The committee which visited Montgomery had the full sane

MARX EXPLAINS
 EFFECTS 0F BILL
Writes Carmichael Fite Measure Would Cause
 Withdrawal of Capital

in a letter to Speaker Carmichael o the House of Representatives otto Marx | head of Otto Marx Company. whici firm has here about $l5,0oo,e00 in loans s1yes as his opinion that the passage of bill by MT. Fite of Marion would cause great hardships in this state The bill seeks to eliminate the provision ir
 mortgages and other written instruments that in case of collection the cost Is to be paid by the borrower. In his let ter MT. Marx says that 1t would result
 in the calling of all loans here of out side capital when they mature and would
 also prohibit the operation of big loan l companies In this field after the pas sage of the bill. MT. Marx also points out that in 1907 a bill to tax foreign
 capital was passed and all the lending
 companies retired from the field. This
 law was subsequently, repealed.
 The letter of MT. Marx follows:
 sHon. NJ. S. Carmichael Montgomery,
 Ala Dear Sir: I have just received a
 copy of housesbil No. 2s5.. introduced by
 MT. Fite of Marion.
 This firm represents foreign capital invested in Alabama. amounting to be- tween $12,000000 and $l5,000.0OO. The money comes principally from the eastern states, and is loaned on farm lands, residences, business prop erty and otherwise. The rate of in- terest paid on these loans ranges from |5 to per cent.
 "In my opinion, the passage of this 'blll will have the following effect: 70 large percentage of existing loans will be called for payment as they mature.
 "(2) The individuals and corporations |erations.
 "(3) The borrower would have to pay higher rates and it will be difficult for him to refinance his existing obligations and future needs even at the higher rate.
 'In 1907 an act was passed taxing foreign capital invested here in mort gages Immediately after the passage |of this act, nearly every large corpora |tion which was loaning money in Ala bama, withdrew from the field. The 'only reason why the loans then out .standing were not called, was the prom |ise on the part of the banking interests |of the state to have the act repealed It has since been repealed
 T believe that should the legislature pass this law it would seriously dam- age the business interests of the state and retard the development of the natural resources of Alabama. No doubt MT. Isite intended that this should be a bene- |ficient act and prove of assistance to the people in preventing exorbitant fees from being charged by attorneys, but in my opinion the effect will be entirely different.

by the bandit band of Alberto Garcia.
The ranch was purchased by r. l..
Slaughter from George f. Woodward
for many years a well known Ameri.
can resident of Sonora. Since then
it has been in litigation. According
TO the report Manuel Nasquez, broth
erinlaw of Mr.. Woodward hired Gar

the ranch. and st was while resisting
his band that the two Americans were
killed For a year or two Garcia has
headed a rowing hand that has srown

Arrivals from the south say that
the report of the killing of the Ameri
cans was prevalent in Cumpas sew
eral days ago but that nothing definite
is known. Friends of the Americans
doubt the truth of the report, which
is not well authenticated, and believe
the Americans are safe.
