FAREWELL URGES
 EXEMPTION CLAIMS
Says Louisiana Wants to Exempt Shipbuilding Plants for 9 In-
 stead of 10 Years

Montgomery, August 4.-(Special.l-That the exemption clauses of the revenue bill against which such powerful opposition has developed, are necessary for the re- tention by Mobile of its claim on the enormous shipbuilding plant which east ern capitalists plan to construct, is the opinion of Senator Hartwell of Mobile.
 Il have received" he said, from the secretary of the Mobile Chamber of Com merce, information to the effect that Louisiana. in it's effort to take this plant away from Mobile and Alabama, has offered to the plant exemption from tax action for a period not of l0 but 20 years.
 Every citizen of Alabama knows of just what importance a plant at Mobile turning out great numbers of merchants vessels will be to Alabama. It seems to mo that if Louisiana can exempt this plant for 25 years, Alabama can afford to eX- empt it for 10''
 It appears now that the fight for and against the revenue bill will not be staged in the senate before Tuesday of next week. Two sections of the bill will pre- cipitate acrimonious debate. The one concerns the proposed exemption from taxation of water power and shipbuiding plants and cotton mills, and the other the manner in which members of the state board of equalization shall be secured.

DEPARTMENT MAY
 HANDLE PENSIONS
Senate Committee Bill Contains Two Innovations Regarded as Impor-
 tant to Old Soldiers

Montgomery, August 4-tSpecial.)-1n the discussion of a bill pending before the senate this morning, only the watch fitness of Senator Judge of Jefferson pre- vented the falling of an unintentional blow upon the newspapers of the big cities of the state. And in the discussion, too there occurred near-sensation, or certainly an insinuation against the motives of one of the senators.
 Senator Jones fathered a bill requiring municipalities to advertise quarterly the transactions of their governing board. It has been generally believed that Senator Jones owns and operates newspaper and at least one of the senators leaped to the conclusion that Senator Jones was attempting to legisate in his own finan- cial interest. Senator Alilner, therefore. introduced an amendment providing that no municipality shall advertise in any newspapers in which senator has the slightest interest.
 That amendment was voted down. And then the bill was amended so that no mu- nicipality need advertise the proceedings of it's governing board or it's financial condition provided in three public places it posts such notices.
 Whereupon Senator Judge, appreciatinS the fact that the city of Birmingham con tracts for publicity with the newspapers of Birmingham amended the bill so that it's effect would not be felt in Jefferson, Montgomery and Mobile counties.

Ward So Telegraphs to Shapiro Re garding 2 Per Cent Clause of
 Revenue Bill

In reference to the fight made by Rep resentative Shapiro to amend the revenue bill so that all municipalities of the state should have the right to assess without restriction municipal licenses against corporations. which was subse- quently amended to allow the city to collect of a public utility corporation 2 per cent per annum of it's gross receipts. the following telegram was received by George B. Ward. president of the city commissions:
 ''Thirty-siX-F under discussion Wire at once if Birmingham will be satisfied with ? per cent on gross receipts unre- stricted and unqualified. Believe I can secure this compromise. Isadore Shapiro"
 He forwarded the following characteris- tic reply:
 Hon lsadore Shapiro. House of Repre- sentatves Montgomery, Ala.
 City takes position that the matter of providing revenues in part through levy Of municipal license taxes should be left to municipal government, but per cent limitation on gross receipts otherwise un- restricted would be a substantial relief from proposed limitation of l per cent, and God knows we need it.

DENSON'S UNIQUE RECORD
 ON SUNDAY OBSERVANCE
Fly HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery. August 4.-(Special) Senator Denson of Greene introduced this morning a bill prohibiting the playing of baseball on Sunday.
 Last January. as is known, Senator Denson opposed the anti-Sunday amusement bill of Senator Bonner and yesterday afternoon aided in making complete it's final destruction
 His action of this morning was the cause of surprise. In effect, he has called upon the senate to prevent the playing of baseball on Sunday imme- diately following the action of the sen ate in refusing not only to prohibit Sunday baseball playing, but to put an end to Sunday motion picture shows and Sunday poolroom loafing
 It is believed that the anti baseball bill will be lost in the shuffle.
 The senator from Greene, in regard to Sunday amusement legislation, has made an unusual record.
 As stated above, shortly after the beginning of this session of the legis- lature in January, he voted against the Bonner bill. During the recess he was taken to task by the deacons and arch -deaeons of the church in Eutaw, those officials in effect declaring in

AMENDED RULES
 HELP SUFFRAGE
Well Known Votes for Women" Leaders Are Given Privileges
 of the Floor

Montgomery. August 4-tSpecial) mission of a constitutional amendment allowing women the privilege of voting was made in the house this morning when that body, on a motion by Representative Sam Will John of Dallas amended the rules so as to allow the second reading of all resolutions relating to constitutional amendments without their reference to the rules committee for consideration. The equal suffrage amendment resolution had been in the possession of the committee on rules, but the action of the house today caused it's withdrawal from that body. The resolution will now be heard in the house the second time and then placed on the calendar for passage.
 As another indication of the friendliness which certain members of the house en- tertain toward the cause of equal suf- frage. Mrs. Solon Jacobs and Mrs. Oscar Hundley of Birmingham, president and first vice president, respectively. of the Alabama Equal Suffrage league. were granted the privileges of the floor until final action has been taken on the pro- posed amendment and bill.
 Mrs. Jacobs was granted the privileges of the floor on motion of Representative Judge of Shelby and Mrs. Hundley was granted that courtesy on the motion of Representative Davis of Walker. Mrs. Jacobs was absent during the morning session. but Mrs. Hundley was occupy ing a seat in the gallery at the time she was offered the privileges of the floor. Later she came down and occupied the seat of one of the members.

 actions Quarterly

Montgomery, August 4.-(Special )-In the opinion of the senate committee on military. department of pensions should be retained by the state.
 The committee today reported favorab bly, with an amendment the new pension bill prepared by the recess committee on in vestigation. The recess committee had recommended the abolition of the depart. ment of pensions. The bill was amended so as to retain the department of pen sions.
 The bill contains two innovations re- garded as exceedingly important, one to the effect that no member of the so- called home guard, and only those soldiers who actually smelled powder, shall receive a pension; and another that no pension than 50 years. The reason for the first innovation is regarded as obvious; the reason for the second is the fear of cer- tain members of the legislature that young womer sometimes marry old veterans knowing that the bridegrooms will soon be dead, and that the pensions will be paid continuously throughout the remainder of her widowed existence.
 The bill. as drawn by the recess com mttee, would have legislated General Ferguson of Birmingham out of business. Under the terms of the amended bill he will have an opportunity further to purge the pension rolls of those whose place thereon was acquired through ai- legged fraud, and prevent others from gain ing place through artful technicality
 Over the question of pensions there is destined to be a spirited debate in both houses, 1t is very strongly indicated

MUSCLE SHOALS
 ADVOCATES COME
 IN STRONG FORCE
Fully One Hundred and Fifty Will Aid in Fight to Exempt Power Plants From
 Taxation

Montgomery, August 4.-(SpeciaL IA delegation consisting of 150 men repre- senting every township in Alabama touched by the Tennessee river is en route to Montgomery. Tomorrow after noon this delegation win appear before the finance committee of the senate and will present it's reasons for contending that the exemption clauses of the reve- rue bill should be retained The people of the Tennessee valley, as has been demonstrated on many occasions, are en- nrely wrapped up in the Muscle Shoals project, and in the construction by the Alabama Power company of plants for the generation of electricity and the manufacture of gunpowder and fertilizer from the atmosphere. The Tennessee River Improvement association is coming, as matter of fact in a body.
 The house passed the revenue bill with the exemption clauses aftef two spec tacular struggles It is believed that the senate is inclined to eliminate those clauses. and it is known that the gov ernor opposes granting exemption from taxation to anybody or any corporation. The case of the Tennessee valley citi- zens is considered desperate. and for this reason their faith in themselves and the merits of their undertakings, is forcing them to come for a final wrestle with the lawmakers.

POSITION OF COTTON PRIMER AND OTHER
 CONDITIONS BETTER,
 SAYS MIR. HARDING
(Continued from Page one)

China and India have spindles sufficient to absorb every bale of cotton that is likely to be cultivated.
 '.It should be noted that the reduction in American cotton acreage this year amounts to more than 100000 acres and that Egypt and India have also made rad ical reductions in cotton acreage. It is probable that the worlds cotton crop. based on an average yield an acre, will be about 5,000,000 bales less than last year.
 Cotton, unlike grain. is a commodity the market value of which Appreciates in time of war, and the south as pro- ducer of that commodity has suffered The actual position of cotton, however, is so much stronger than was the case 8 year ago, and financial and other condi- tions are so very much more favorable that there can be no doubt that if the south will keep cool and will refrain from merely weakening it's own position by unwise action, the present nervousness regarding the market for the growing crop will soon disappear.
 Even in the face of al tse adverse conditions during the last 12 months the average price of cotton has been about what might have been expected for a 17 100000 bale crop had there been no war. and there is every reason to believe that theaverage price of cotton during the next 12 months will be higher

CARNLEY ELECTED
 IN COFFEE COUNTY
Another Man Who Opposed Under wood in Convention Honored
 by Electors

Montgomery August 4.-6Special) To succeed NJ S. Carmichael. resigned. J. A. Carnley has been elected to rep resent Coffee county in the lower house ol the legislature.
 Senator Arlington, of whose district Coffee county is an integral part, was so informed this morning. Carnley was elected in a close contest against Frank Rainer.
 The successful applicant for the va cant place is said to be a warm friend of Governor Henderson. whom he sup ported in the primaries. The defeated candidate managed in Coffee county the campaign of B. B. Conner. While the new representative will not be. it is said. a factionalist, he is a prohibis tionist of the most advanced ideas.
 MT. Carnley. as is remembered, was A member of the Alabama delegation to the national democratic convention in Baltimore in 1912. He. George H. Malone of Dothan and Henry steagan of ozark created something of sen sation when they declined to observe the unit rules when majority of the members, at the solicitation of Mir. Un- derwood. then a candidate for Presi- dent, agreed to support Alton R. Par lScr rather than William Jennings Bryan for permanent chairman of the convention.
 While the ardent Underwood SUD- porters at that time were greatly en- ragged at the action of the three Ala bamians. it is interesting to note that two of them. MT. Steagall. congress man. and Mr. Carnley. representa- tive. have since been signally honored. MT.

 Yesterday Senator Denson proved that he had not been whipped into line.
 The Bonner bill yesterday was beat en as result of the Bulger amend ment For this amendment Senator Denson voted. When the bill was up for final passage Senator Denson ex- pressed the desire to explain his vote.

 He sat down. And then, to the sur prise of practically everyone in the chamber, it developed that a great ma jority of the senators were opposed to the bill When the senator from Greene realized what was occurring he again took the floor.
 "Mr President" he said "I believe that I, too, will vote No.
 For the foregoing reasons his intro auction this morning of an anti-base- ball bill caused surprise.

has been made that Italy and Germany do not stand in hostility each to the other and that Germany will not be dragged into war with Italy. The Austrians must fight their own battle with Italy, the dis patches report since the issue between Austria and Italy is of no concern to Ger many These statements upon a superfi- cal reading may be accepted IS true but they really do not represent the feeling in Italy
 That unfriendly disposition toward Ger many is so strong that the Chamber of Commerce of the United States at Wash ington is persuaded that it may mean greatly increased trade relations between Italy and the United States. The cham ber has been informed that if the present feeling throughout Italy is maintained it will be long time before Italy resumes trade relations with Germany. Apparent ly there prevails throughout Italy a deeper sense of resentment toward Ger many than toward Austria. Since the be- ginning of the war year ago. Italy has been a heavy purchaser in the United States. The relations between the United States and Italy were never more cordial than they are at the present time, and it is believed that Italy will be in the American market for large amounts of coke and iron of the kind which for merly she bought of Germany. Italy was one of the cnlef customers of Germany for coke and there Is urgent need of coke now in Italy in order to maintain the man. ufacture of pig iron. This business the yr.ited States should easily obtain.
 One factor which must be determined before we gan fully meet the demands of Italy involves the securing of return cargoes for American steamers. That was a factor which had much to do with the failure of several attempts to establish steamship lines running between the United States and the east coast of South America It was difficult for vessels to secure return cargoes, coffee and hides having been for many years our chief im- ports from South America. Some of the trade associations of Italy. and especially the Milan Chamber of Commerce, are now occupied with the attempt to discover how and where profitable return cargoes for American steamers can be secured. Then, again. the Italian bankers are attempt ing to perfect certain financial methods which will make it all the more easy for the American merchants and manufaotur- CTS to carry on great trade with Italy. Ap- parently the Italian bankers and some In the United States are arranging for cer- tain credits which would make possible easy and convenient payments to Ameri- can exporters of the commodities or which Italy stands in need Italy and Russia are likely to be the two nations which will allow their resentment against Ger many to stand in the way of an early re- sumption of trade and commercial rela- tons. l4I,
