STANDARD HOME CO. HEARING MARCH B.
Postponed on Account of Absence of Attorneys for
 the Defense

Hearing of the motion for a new trial of the officials of the Standard Home company which was to have been held yesterday before Judge w. I. Grubb, was postponed for two weeks owing to the absence of Walker PercN and B. M Allen, attorneys for the de- fendants. In connection with the af- fairs of the Standard Home company which made an assignment last Monday in the United States court, the Birming- ham Trust and Savings company being named as trustee by Judge Grubb, R. A. Terrell, agent appointed by the bank to manage the affairs of the company, is sending a letter to the contract hold CTS of the Standard Home advising them as to the status of their holdings
 In his letter MT. Terrell states it is not necessary for any contract holder to take action for the protection of his claim until notified by the court. as bankruptcy proceedings have been in- stituted in Birmingham against the standard Home company which is set for hearing next week. The letter fol- lows:
 .In reply. to your inquiry, we beg to advise that at noon on the 22d day of February, 1915, the Birmingham Trust and Savings company took possession of the property and affairs of the Stand ard Home company under an order of the federal court at Birmingham, for the purpose of administering the same for the benefit of the holders of it's in- vestment home purchasing contracts and paid up interest-b bearing certifi- cates, and other creditors. according to their several and respective rights. The trustee will preserve the property Of the company and hold same subject to the further orders of the court.
 Tt is the duty of the trustee under the order of the court to collect all debts due the company, including mort gage loans, and 1t Is authorized to re- ceiye all payments rendered by the holders of investment home purchasing contracts. keeping special account of all payments received. but it Is not at present required to enforce the collec- tion of the payments due or to become due on such contracts.

NARD ANTICIPATES NO D|FFICUL TY IN D|SPOS|NG OF BONDS
Says Election Will Be Post p0ned for Short Time on
 Account of Legal " Point Raised

sT do not believe there will be any diff fculty in selling the proposed bonds if kuthorized by the people, as believe they kill be- said George Ward yesterday in fcgard to the proposed bond issue of $l,- |50. .00c for temporary financial relief of the kity.
 sThe bond markets of the country are m Comparatively good condition" he added. Municipal bonds especially are in de- hand by reason of the fact that they Ire exempt from the income tax It will probably be the middle of April before the proposed bond issue will be kubmitted to the people, owing to a slight |hange in the ordinance providing for the kiection as suggested by Thompson x
 Dillon, bond lawyers of New York city, In letter to the city commission yes Eerday.
 Members of the commission decline to khl be other issues placed before the people at the same time as the bond elec- fion. There are several argumnts on beth sides of this phase of the question. It is stated that another answer from Thompson & Dillon will have been re- feived by the last of this week, the com tiissioners writing them again and re- Submitting the amended ordinance pro- Elding for separate issues as they sug- kested in their letter yesterday Com Peissioner Ward made the following for )llal statement: '"The delay in calling the bond election )ass been occasioned by legal questions ks to whether or not the circumstances Required splitting the proposed bonds into two issues instead of one.
 "The bond lawyers inclines to the opin-
 6n that it would be preferable to split
 Sle issue into two divisions, one for pres Ut deficit and one for deficiencies that Ls in have accrued at the expiration of the
 6scal year.
 "Inasmuch as the bond lawyers will
 have to approve the bonds before they are sod, it is deemed advisable to obtain their final opinion on this point before ealling the election, and this will probably
 result in week or 10 days delay

sx HuGH ". rnnEnrs

Governor Henderson, having already visited the state prison at Speigner will perhaps this week, visit Wetumplsa An unofficial inspection has already been made-not by the chief executive, but hv a party of newspaper correspondents wl,o suffering with Montgomery ennui motored Gas the society editor would express it, one Sunday afternoon from the capital of the state across the Tallapoosa river to the capital of Fillmore county
 There, they eventually located the prison. They entered the old and red and rather awkward or eumbcrstone structure wherein years ago Senator Bank head served as warden, and the father of " A. Gibson of the Pratt company twho. incidentally. planted the oak trees which now surround the pIace) as deputy warden
 Having passed through the main offce. the correspondents found themselves within an enclosure surrounded entirely by q wall 20 feet in height. Everything vas spotlessly clean. Fifty men in stc'pes were wandering aimlessly about as if at a loss without their customary tasks to pei form. From the chapel came voices In
 
 tions of visiting priest And then be- came possessed of the idea that the prison Was not so much place of punishment as a place of cure not only for diseased morals, but for diseased minds. The con- viots. as matter of fact, cazed at the visitors with the eyes of children set in the faces of old men This caused those with philosophical turn of mind to jump to the conclusion that crime is not 10 innch the product of hard heart as 1T soft or weak or negative intellect.
 The correspondents had driven across the country more to secure a breath of fresh air than to learn concerning the prison and prisoners at Wetumpka. And so 1t was with rather tardy step that they followed pr. ]. T. Fowler. state physician through the various departments of the old hsstile. And thus 1t happened that while passing through the kitchen, the visitors were attracted by the voice of a man wio read in stumbling fa shion to num- Ter gathered around him from the pages Of the Old Testament
 And the man who was reading had pre- pared to meet death on the gallows la times.
 He was Irwin Pope. the Anniston negro N Lu after spending seven years in various iails. was sent under life sentence to the Netunpka walls As the correspondents us ssed through the kitchen, Irwin raised his face, and bade them good afternoon Later. however. having been appraised that the visitors were representatives of the press. he followed them and eventual lY secured an opportunity to speak fur fbaf cpnpprninp hiq nliqnt And har might be stated that this negro is one of the few intelligent men of his race

BESSEMER DEPOT
 CASE UP TOMORROW
Number of People Going to Mont gom- cry to Be Present at the
 Hearing

The staxe railroad commission will re- consider the Bessemer union station case tomorrow. B. H. Cooper. associate mem Der of the commission. will leave for Montgomery this afternoon and it is ex- pected that a large number of citizens representing the railroads and the city of Bessemer will leave at the same time.
 Some years ago, as is remembered the commission ordered the railroads enter ing Bessemer to construct a union sta tion. Later, however, the railroads made "a showing before the commission and the order was withdrawn. During the legis- lative session the people of ..essemer suc- ceeded in having the case reopened again and the railroad commission named March l as the date for the taking of testimony.
 The decision will probably be announced in April.

REPORT SHOWS
 VERY UGLY CONDITIONS

The interstate commerce commission report is in accordance with the resolu- ton of Senator Lea, asking an investi- gation of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. of their methods of doing busi- ness in the state of Tennessee. and also as far as the state of Alabama is con- cerned at my request of Senator Lea to have Alabama included in the interstate commerce committees investigation. This report shows very ugly conditions shows that the Louisville and Nashville railroad spent millions of dollars to man. ufacture public opinion, to suppress com petition to destroy, so far as Alabama is concerned, that most valuable public asset, the port of Mobile. Mir. Selhemer well says all these facts have been known for quite awhile, and are most hurtful to the interest of the people of the state Not only has the Louisville and Nash vile used every known methcs to manu- facture public sentiment in their interest but they have also used every effort to make the press of the state venal. There have been and are large outlays of money to haves the press partisan in their in terest. They have used large sums of money in controlling our electorate, mo- tably in our last primary, they combined with the liquor interests and used money to control the electorate of the state. and by the most venal means. They have not hesitated to use false publication and even libel. The latter is seen in the re- cent conviction of their vice president, 1 B. M. Starke. in a civil suit in the court at Birmingham and awarding of verdict I by the jury of $500 damages and which | has been affirmed by the supreme court and has been paid, l suppose. by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and | there are further suits against two of their high officers, F. A Defuniak and Jones Moore. for conspiring with the said vice president, B. M. Starke. then super l iEtendent at Birmingham, to destroy my l character through libel, all that the Lou l isville and Nashville railroad manage | ment of Alabamas affairs should not be | nterfered with.
 'The Louisville and Nashville is a great system, but there is nothing of sufficient | importance to the people of the state | that would authorize the turning over of l the state government to their domination and control. The Louisville and Nashville has carried this control of our state in ! the most high handed measure. In fact, l for number of years mine Is the only l administration that was free from their control.

The report covers the various alleged expenditures of large sums of money for political purposes and makes indirect reference to the several campaigns made by Governor Conner for the office of rail- road commissioner and governor.
 Governor Conner states the report shows very ugly conditions and says that the Louisville and Nashville has spent mill lions of dollars to suppress competition and to destroy the port of Mobile. He refers to the settlement made by Gov ernor O'Neal and Governor Henderson of the state railroad suits and declares that as a result the state has gone back to the old Louisville and Nashville do- minion and control.

c. w. Grows. Of the Crews Beggs
Company. In this weeks issue Of the
Fowler Tribune.
Thousands Of dollars are sent out
Of this state for merchandise because
the senders do not fully understand
conditions. Large mail order hous-
es claim to sell goods At very low
prices. This is true In regard to q
few items which they exploit in big
type for the purpose Of creating an
impression. when a great volume OF
their business Is done at greater
profit than your local storekeeper
makes. As matter of fact, mer-
chandise is sold cheaper In Fowler
than In Pueblo. cheaper In Pueblo
than in Denver. and Denver prices
are less than they are In the large
eastern cities. because the expense OF
doing business Is greater In large
cities than In small towns. and the
expense Of doing business governs
the selling price very largely. Local
merchants give better service than
outsiders. because they must keep
your trade. while the big eastern
houses has the whole country 70
