CONGRESS- WILL BE . BUSY THIS WINTER SAYS BANKHEAD Senior Alabama Senator Came Here to Attend
 Highway Meeting TO SUPPORT WILSON
 ON PREPAREDNESS Does Not Believe President Will Ad- vocate Expenditure of Billions.
 Financial Problems to Be
 Solved

It will be a busy session of Congress that which will begin in December-ac cording to John H. Bankhead, Alabams senator. who spent yesterday in Birmihg ham.
 The senator visited the Magic City fol the purpose of meeting the good roads advocates who are bent on locating tht Jackson highway through the heart ol this state. He declared that he was moi looking with particular favor on the rapid approach of the date of the recon. vening of Congress.
 T know that much hard work Is ahead of us.' he said and while Washington and the work of the public have their a1luring charm, I am very fond of living among the people of Alabama. We will be concerned chiefly in preparing against a possible war, in raising revenue to take the place of that raised by the special war tariff, and in innumerable other mat ters of importance to the country at large"
 Will Support President
 Asked in regard to "preparedness, Sen ator Bankhead said:
 While l do not anticipate a war in which this country will be engaged-for the European spectacle has mortified all people to such an extent that no man desires to see bloodshed--I will support the President in his programme
 This preparedness will entail the ex- penditure of large sum of money, but I feel confident that the President will not insist that we spend billions as some of the jingoes declare we should spend. The President has displayed such re- markable wisdom in keeping out of war that I am confident he will display that wisdom in preparing for a possible war which all members of Congress can de- pend and act upon.
 We will be compelled to raise some money. The European war has blessed us in many respects. But it has prevented normal importation of foreign-made goods and as result, we have not secured the amount of moneysthrough tariff pro- visions that we would have acquired un- der ordinary conditions.
 ''The special war tax was levied for one year. and expires on January | Of course, we will be forced to take action because of the expira ton of the time linn it of this levy. And next spring, the tariff on sugar, which has raised some S30 000,0 GOO, will be removed. Of course, I cannot foretel what course we will pur- sue in raising the necessary money State ments in thdt regard must come from the chairman of the ways and means com mittee of the House.
 Silent on Abcrcrombic
 The senator was reticent regarding the recent attack of John W. Abercrombie, congressman at large, who alleged that the senator was responsible for the pas sage of the bill through the Alabama legislature which rearranged the state in respect to the congressional districts; ahd he declined to discuss what is regarded as a certainty that Dr. Abercrombie will be one of his opponents for reelection to the senate.
 "The indications are,'' said the sena- tor, that there will be a large number of candidates. However, we should not cross bridge until we reach it..

That Newspapers
 Can Publish the Truth


 news in as detailed a manaer as the in- terest in the subject justifes
 On July 2. 1911. Mickey Brennan was shot in the house of Kern Fitzpatrick on Avenue E between Eleventh and Twelfth streets. Fitzpatrick brought suit. claim ing that the article about the shooting published in The Age-Herald reflected upon him and his family. When the case came to trial the first time the court ruled that sufficient cause of action was not shown. The supreme court over ruled this. and 1t came to trial second time Monday morning. more than four years after the original publication. The Age-Herald set up as a defense that the article was true and introduced numerous witnesses to prove it's truth. The jury showed by it's verdict that a newspaper is justified in printing the truth and, accordingly allowed the plain afr no damages.
 Fitzpatrick was represented in the case by Haroh & Beddow, while The Age Her aid was represented by Nathan L. Mil- Ter and N. A. Graham, Jr.

taken from America nearly 300, ,00o
horses within the last five months
and that the other countries at war
have drawn upon our resources In
the same proportion.
! The facts are that more horses
were on the farms of the United
States on January |, 1915. than there
were a year ago. the increase being
223.O00 head or IL per cent.
So far from France alone having
taken 100000 horses from us, the
total exports since the war began have
certainly been much less than 100 900
and very likely not over $4,000.
Since there are. approximately u.s.
100000 horses altogether in the
United States. the drain on account
OF the war is scarcely alarming.
1t Is In fact pointed out by gov
ernment statisticians. that the mar
ket value Of farm horses has actually
declined to such an extent that the
average Is now about Sc a head less
than year ago. This decline IA
most noticeable in the cotton states
and In those states which make n
business Of breeding horses for sale
In other sections. Mules have de-
clined even more than horses, their
value being now s11.50 per head
less than a year ago.
The explanation Is to be found In
the depression on account OF tho
cotton situation In the South, which
is the great market for mules. An
improvement In this respect will do
much to restore the demand for
horses, so that government specialists
while rediculing the notion OF horse
famine. are convinced that farmers
VIII find 1t profitable to use good
work mares for breeding more stock.
AS for hides. the situation Is not

quite so clear. but even here there
has been much gross exaggcration.
From two-ilfths TO less than onc-half
OF the leather used In this country
is imported. ahou, % per cent OF the
foreign hides coming from Argentina.
i5per cent from Canada. II pcr cent
from Mexico, sis pcr cent from Eu.
ropean Russia. and ~ per cen, from
France.
Since the outbreak OF the war. I'm.
portations have shown certain
falling on. Those. for septcm bcr,
1914. for example. being only $4,000
600 pounds. instead OF $4,000. 900
pounds the year previous. There IN,
however, little reason to suppose that
this decrease will be permanent or
OF sufficient importance 10 create any
real scarcity. Since the great bulk
OF the imported hides come from
countries that are not at war. shin.
ments are not in,erfcred with in apy

considered Is the possibility OF nm
