ANNISTON

Anniston, May 16.-(Special) )-Old resi- l dents of this city were greatly shocked early Tuesday to learn of the sudden death of pr. Robert Lee Bowcock at his home on Quintard avenue. His death was due to pneumonia, which he con- tracted only three or four days ago The funeral will take place Wednesday morn ing at o'clock, Rev. L. M. Latimer off ciating. when the following gentlemen will act as pallbearers: Honorary: J. c.
 Sproull, pr. J. L. Wikle, John B. Knox,
 H. P. Watson, Judge Thomas W. Cole
 man and Dr. J. F Walker active, J. F.
 Spearman, O. M. Reynolds, A. H.. Shep-
 pard, A. l.. Tyler, H. M. Ayers, and C.
 R. Bell.
 His colleagues in the medical profes-
 sion displayed unaffected grief when they
 learned of his untimely death. pr. Bow
 cock came to Anniston in 1888, about two
 years after graduating from the Uni
 versity of Virginia. He at once became
 actively interested in the welfare of the city and took part in all movements to-
 ward it's upbuilding. In his profession
 he won the love and honor of all physi- clans for his undertaking honesty and
 loyalty to his patients and strong adher-
 ence to the ethics of his profession. Dr. Bowcock is survived by his widow, who was Miss Jennie Sands, of a we'll
 known Richmond, Va, family, his daugh- ter, Miss Virginia Bowcock; son, Charles
 Stuart Bowcock, and his youngest daugh-
 ter, Miss Margaret Bowcock. He has one
 sister, Mrs. c. R. Sands, and one brother,
 Charles s. Bowcock both of whom live
 at Richmond. Another brother, Dr.
 Branch Bowcock, died several years ago, and by a strange coincidence yes- terday was the anniversary of his death City politics are beginning to warm up and it is believed that the next few days will bring forth a number of new candi- dates for municipal honors. Former Councilman l.. s. Hollingsworth ~ has taken the lead in the fight for a seat in the city council and will be 8 formidable
 candidate. MT IIollingsworth served on
 the council during the last administra- tion and represented his constituents with satisfaction.
 Company M, Fourth infantry, under command of Capt Arthur Harrison and Ieutenants J. I. Crow and Otha w.
 Humphries. will leave on special train for Birmingham Thursday morning to take part in the big reunion parade on that day. The local company is in splen- did shape and will make a fine showing in the Magic City. The trip will be en- tirely free to the members, the amount | necessary for transportation having been subscribed by the public spirited business men and others of Oxford and Anniston. The showers of last night and this morning will be of vast benefit to the farmers in this section, all of whom have been having trouble in securing a stand of cotton and corn In many cases re- planting has been tried but the continued drouth caused the fear that the crop would be much curtailed.
 Reports from all over the country around about indicate that the rain has enivened the crop conditions remarka- bly,, and that full stand of cotton may yet result.

NO CHARGES FILED
 AGAINST OFFICIALS
Russell County Jurist Hears Rumors That He Is to Be Impeached and Investigates to Find Them
 GrOundless

Montgomery May 16.--(Special.) )-Pro-
 bate Judge H. T. Benton of Russell
 county came to Montgomery today to as-
 certain whether or not impeachment
 charges had been filed against him and
 Sheriff Pat Daniels of Russell at the instgation of Albion Hickson of that
 county. The charges, it is reported by
 Judge Benton, are declared to be the re- suit of alleged violations of the prohi-
 biton laws at Girard.
 Inquiry at the office of Attorney Gen
 eral William l.. Martin revealed the fact that no charges haze yet been filed against either Judge Balton or Sheriff Daniels Nor have an. charges been filed with governor Henderson, it was declared at the executive offices
 According to Judge Benton he is per- fectly willing to face any charges which might be filed by any citizen of Russell county. He declared that he does not
 know whether the prohibition laws are being violated in his county.
 Judge Bonton was recently reelected probate judge of his county by q major ity of about 100 votes. Reports from Russell declare that factionalism is re- sronsible for the rumors of impeachment charges against that popular official

PREPAREDNESS IN . INDUSTRIAL WAY OF MOST IMPORTANCE Leading Men Regard it As Chief Item of Defense
 Programme
MUCH GOOD WORK
 IS ALREADY DONE
Frank TrumbuIl Has Recently Made Important Comments on Impor- tance of of Nations Industrial
 Preparedness
By HOLLAND

New York, May 16.-( -(Special.)-While it would not be accurate to report that the railway executives advisory committee is. as a committee persuaded that in the work of preparation which leads to pre- paredness industrial preparation should lead, while preparedness for defense in case of war should be of second cons1d- era ton, nevertheless individual members of that committee are of this opinion. The chairman of the committee, Frank Trumbull, says emphatically that this is his view as an individual.
 Industrial preparedness which includes perfect preparation of all the activities of the United States, is, in MT. TTun1- bulls view condition in which the United States should find itself as speed fly as possible after the close of the Flu ropean war, and, in fact, before that war is ended, if it should be continued an- other year or two For there is to be a world encompassing competitive strug. sle for trade and for development. That much is certain of the future We may or may not, MT. Trumbull says, find our selves in danger of war upon a large
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-17

scale. We should be prepared for that emergency should it come. But the other kind of preparation is inevitable if the United States is to find itself in position thoroughly to maintain itself in the world struggle for trade.
 A few weeks ago. MT. Trumbull said tc a federal committee that the financial center of the world may be transferred from London to New York. The United States should build up her export ousl- ness to proportions never before dreamed of, but this cannot be done unless there be efficient transportation, and efficient transportation involves efficient regua- tion.
 The advisory committee of the railway executives is a voluntary organization It's membership is made up of 14 rail way executives who, as whole, repre- sent the operating and executive forces of many of the more important Amerlcar railroads Of this committee MT. Trum- bull is chairman and his craftsmanship involves public service without other re- ward. Epecuniary or honorary, except the sense of having accomplished something which will be as beneficial to the coun- try at large as it will prove to be to the railroads MT. Trumbull's s view like tht modern view of many of the railway executives is that if there is to be esta blished thoroughly satisfactory rela ticns of a kind which will facilitate transportation, business and commerce there must be cordial and complete CO operation between the railroad companies and the public

Wall and made preliminary arrange ments for the entertainment of the grand council here May 26 and 27.

will be adequate, just and of benefit both
 to the railroad companies and tc the pub lie. For it is from the point of view of
 the public that this question is important as well as from the point of view of the
 railroads, since if the public is to prosper the railroads must also prosper.
 THE FOUR POINTS After a years consideration carefully conducted at many meetings of the com mittee. there was agreement upon four points which in due time will be brought ! to the attention of a joint committee
 made up of five members of the federal Senate and five of the House committees i on interstate and foreign commerce. This committee will be organized if the joint
 resolution creating this committee be adopted
 These four points are, first, that there | should he only one master, one supreme and controlling authority over regulation, although, of course, under that central 1 authority there may be established re- | glonai commissions. It is enough to say
 that this one master is the federal gov 1 ernment as the federal government is | now the single master over the national | banks of the United States.
 The second point is the reorganization | of the interstate commerce commission, | and such reorganization as will bring about division of duties, one branch or l section absorbing the Investigating and detective powers of the present interstate | commerce commission. The other body would have a sort of judicial capacity which would authorize it to consider ques- l tions of finance, rates and kindred sub- jects.
 | The third point especially emphasized | is the suspension of increases in rates so | that they will be limited to 60 days in- | stead of 10 months. The fourth point in-
 wolves federal supervision of securities. Of course, should these recommendations be adopted, they will, excepting in the
 case of exclusive state boundaries, put an
 end to 49 different regulating bodies which have been created by the states
 and which have occasioned as serious an l embarrassment to the railroad companies
 as has any other influence.

NEW DECATUR

New Decatur, May 16.-(Special )-After suffering for Il days with burns which she sustained when she used gasoline to
 light fire thinking it to be coal oil, Mrs. Petway Roberts died here this morning at 6 o'clock. When Mrs Rob- erts put the oil on the fire it blazed up and exploded the can. scattering the blazing fluid all over the woman. The funeral will be held tomorrow at John son chapel.
 It was learned here today that Thomas G. Waddell will be the candidate of the socialist party against Congressman Ed ward B. Almon of Tuscumbia, the demo- cratic nominee for Congress, at the November election. The socialists poll about 200 votes in Morgan county alone, but their opposition is not feared gener- ally by the democrats. It is believed that the republicans will put out a con- gressional candidate in the Eighth dis trict.
 Mrs. Ruthie Bethany Gray, wife of c. B. Gray, was buried this afternoon, the services being conducted from the Central Baptist church. Her death fol- lowed protracted illness She was taken ill some months ago at her home at faflS, rem. MrS. Gray is survived by her husband four sisters and tv V brothers, Miss Jessie Sivley, Mrs. Eliza beth Stephenson, Mrs. Nettie Waddel. w. E. Sivley and w. M Sivley of New Decatur and Mrs. Dannie Ross of Okla homa.
 Municipal politics are warming up in both New Decatur and Decatur, where Mayor Alex A. Hardage and Mayor James A. Nelson are serving their first terms. It is reported that Mayor Hard age will be opposed by John Patterson, a popular employe of the Louisville and Nashville shops while Mayor Nelson wiI be opposed by Dr. W. N Dinsmore a prominent physician.
 A special election for June 15 has been called by the Decatur city council to de- eide on the question of raising s5o.O0O in bonds for the erection of a municipal light plant. The bond issue will be fought hard on both sides. It's passage is said to be doubtfsH.

WHAT COMMITTEE HAS DONE

This advisory committee has been in existence about a year, It has held many meetings Discussions and careful con- sideration of the subject have occupied the attention of the committee at these meetings One point of view was early established at the meetings, and it is one of which the public should have good un- derstanding. It is this: With a single exception, the railway companies of the
 United States share with the general public the same opportunities, the same dangers and the same difficulties. The
 rublic has it's labor troubles, sometimes In all departments of activities; that is
 true of the railroads. Sometimes it hap
 pens that there is shortage of crops, and that affects business. So, also, it affects
 the railroads. It sometimes happens that
 there are violent climatic disturbances. These do damage to the railroads and to the public as we'll But in one important respect the railroads differ from the pub- lie, and that is in regulation. All rail- way managers are now convinced that regulation has not only come to stay, but if adequate and wise it is properly here to stay.
 Having reached this conclusion the next step in the discussion of this advisory committee was to discover, if possible, the ways and means whereby there can ! be secured that kind of regulation which
