The outstanding features of yester-
days conference and meeting of the
commissioners was the length of time
consumed and the numerous questions
which came up for discussion on which
no definite action was taken.
The morning session was consumed
with the discussion of the matters to be
passed at the regular meeting which took
place at 3 o'clock yesterday AFTERNOON.
Immediately after the afternoon meeting,
the commission went into another con-
ference. Commissioner Barber went into
a lengthy discussion of the practices OF
the Standard Oil company, and stated
that King John d. sat upon the throne
and dictated prices of gasoline and oil
to suit himself regardless of the law
of the land" 1t was decided by the
commission to investigate conditions re-
garding the price of gasoline in Birming-
ham, and take some action at a later
date. Mr.. Barber also took up the ques-
ton of the 10-cent loaf of bread and said
that he had received information to the
effect that the bakers of this city were
giving an IS and 20-ounce loaf of bread
for 10 cents whereas an ordinance was
or the books of the city code requiring
a 4-ounce loaf for cents.

NOT DISCOURAGED
BY MOBILES ACTION
Farm Loan Bank Committee at Work
to Locate Bank

Had Mobile remained neutral in the mat
ter of indorsing either Birmingham or
Montgomery for the federal farm loan
bank it would have lent more prestige
to the state, according to Oscar Wells,
chairman of the farm loan bank conf
mittee.
Mr.. Wells stated yesterday afternoon,
after returning from Mobile where he,
Sterling A. Wood and William Blanks
Everett went to attend meeting of the
Mobile Chamber of Commerce Monday
night, that while effected in way, the
Endorsement of Montgomery by "a meTn-
bers of the civic body did not neces-
sarily mean public sentiment was in IA
vor of Montgomery.
while we would have been glad to
have had the Endorsement of Mobile.
said Mr. Wells, still we are not dis
couraged because we did not get it. as
we feel that the matter of selecting the
location will rest largely on the merits
of the locality. We believe. however that
the Gulf City should have remained neu-
trail and given their aid to landing the
bank for the state. letting the board de-
eide between the contesting cities.
1t was stated that Montgomery was
stronger represented at the Mobile meet
ing than was Birmingham, number OF
their citizens having been in sMoble work.
ing for that city's influence for several
days. Mr. Wells stated that the small
vote polled out of the large membership
of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce
could not express the opinion OF the body
as a whole, or the sentiment OF the pup
lie at large.

WILSON A WINNER
STATES CHESTNUT
Baseball Arbiter Declares
That Wilson Will "Win
in a Walk"

Scott E. Chestnut, after an absence of
six months, is in Birmingham.
The former Southern league arbiter re-
turned from Toronto yesterday morning
and was busy on the streets, meeting
his old friends and hobnobbing with them.
After spending six months in the east,
while serving as umpire in the Inter-
national league he asserts confidently
that Woodrow Wilson will be continued
in office as President of the United
States.
I'm jaunting about the International
league circuit I was in position TO
learn the views of the people in the east,
especially in New York. 1t is my opinion
that the democrats will be favored with
having Wilson elected to second term
The voters are strong for him. He will
win in a walk.
Judge Hughes. while regarded as a
clean-cut conservative statesman, is
looked upon as cold proposition. He
can't lose his proverbial frigidity and
despite his efforts to warm up to the
people, he is essaying the trick in vain
His attitude in criticizing Wilson is serv-
ing as boomerang, for the voters are
applying the query, Well, what would
you have done?' and this stiles any
explanation.
1.-The foreign vote is not embracing the
republican candidates. A prominent Ger
man acquaintance of mine in Rochester
summed up the situation well. He de-
clared that Wilson had never criticized
the Germans. and neither had Hughes
but Roosevelt. the right-hand man of the
g. o. p. candidate. had indicated the at
titude of the republican party There
fore, it seems that even the German vote
will go for Wilson.
''wilson is such big man that he can't
be beaten"
One record during the past season was
made by Chestnut. He elected but one
player during the entire season.

Truss Cites Figures

Commissioner Truss cited figures to
maintain his position that the garbage
and sanitary department had not been
run as economically under the regime OF
Commissioner Barber as it was during
the time he had charge of this depart
nient He explained to the commissioners
that he did not consider the controversy
between himself and Mr.. Barber of a
personal nature, and that the placing of
the data on the garbage department IN
the hands of the commission was merely
for the purpose of economizing the city S
expenditures. He made the statement
that the garbage and junk department
had cost more during the past three
months and had not been as satisfactory
as the preceding three months, and cited
the following figures: The cost of garb=
age collection, including crematory ex-
pense, in March, April and May was s17,-
1874 0S while the cost for the same de-
partment in June, July and August
amounted to s2O,136.26. The junk sales I'M
der the Barber regime which Is for the
months of June, July and August, S1451.9p
BY deductinfi this amount from the total
expenditures a total of S1S,6S436 is shown
or an increase of 79o.2S under the ad-
ministration of Commissioner Barber for
the past three months.
Mr. Truss stated that he did not want
to be placed in charge of the junk, sani-
tation and garbage department, but that
he wanted it run more economically. Mr..
Barber stated that anything could be
proven by figures, and that he had fig
ures that would disclaim Mr.. Truss
statement Mr. Barber made an asser-
ton sometime ago that the garbage de-
partment was being run more econom-
ically and more satisfactorily than ever
before" said Mr.. Truss. Il take issue
with him on this point and the object
have in presenting these facts to the
commissioners is to show that the regime
of Mr. Barber has been more expensive
and at the same time less Satisfactory

Bond Scheme Turned Down

Commissioner Barber's proposed plan to
issue $4,000 of school bonds and then sell
them to the sinking fund of the city was
defeated deeisively yesterday morning at
the conference of the commissioners.
Commissioner Hornady was in favor of
passing the question over until the next
meeting, at which time the proposed res
olution would be amended so as to read
that the bonds would be sold to the
public. The resolution was tabled on the
motion of Mr.. Ward, the only dissenting
vote being that of Mr.. Barber. A heated
discussion took place between Mr.. Barber
and Mr.. Ward on the merits and de-
merits of the proposed resolution. Mr..
Ward stated that he did not approve of
ers that would place the disposal of the
ers that would place the disposal or the
sinking fund in a position to be criticized
by the public. Mr.. Barber stated that
1t was necessary to get sufficient money
to repair and build new schools and
that the means he had set out in the res
olution was entirely regular.

Telephone COnduits

The matter of using the conduits of
the old Home Telephone company was
brought before the commissions atten-
ton by Commissioners Weatherly and
Barber at the conference yesterday morn
ing. At the suggestion of Commissioner
Ward the city will proceed to use these
conduits on the assumption that the
Home company surrendered it's franchise
to the city and therefore the property
came into the citys possession.
The legal department Of the city was
given instructions to take steps SO as to
allow the city to use these conduits I'M
til the matter could be settled definitely
by those interested after some discussion
ont matter had been reached. The
conduits will be used for the extension
of the municipal light plant at North
Birmingham in the business district of the
city. The conduits will also be used for
the fire alarm system of the city.

OTTON SHORTAGE
WILL HELP JObbERS
Merchant Gives Views on
Corn and Cotton Crop
Situation

The dire reports of the shortage in the
cotton and corn crops are not without
their bright sides Murray Brown of
the opinion that the situation will have
it's beneficial aspects. in that it will give
more business to the jobbers in Bir-
mingham.
THE old adage that 1T is an i'll wind
that blows no good seems applicable to
the present situation Mr.. Brown said.
From reports that have come in to our
office from the agricultural districts of
Alabama the outlook seems very dark
and gloomy. 1t seems undeniable that
the cotton and corn crops are acutely
short by virtue of the floods, the boil
weevil and the other contributing causes.
But it seems as though there will be
a bright side. The buyers of dry goods,
shoes and other furnishings in the vari-
Gus parts of Alabama will not be in a po-
sition to order as freely of the jobbers as
in more prosperous seasons. Therefore
they will buy in smaller lots and from
the jobbers nearby.
1T will be necessary for them to re-
gard the savings in freight rates and this
will serve as stimulus for them to
investigate the stocks of the Alabama job
bers. And when the inspection occurs
the merchant will find that the local
wholesalers can supply them with just as
good values, in smaller lots and at lower
prices. 1t is remarkable just how much
the jobbers have advanced in recent years
and, at Birmingham, the merchant can
obtain furnishings that cannot be excelled
by jobbers in Chicago or in any other big
centers, and at lower prices.
s"The recent Merchants association
meeting served to impress these racts
Upon the Alabama merchant and it was
a great thing for all concerned"

Closed Session Held

A session of the commission at which
all citizens and newspaper men were
barred, was held by the commissioners
late yesterday afternoon No statement
was given by any of the commissioners
after it was concluded. 1t is thought
Commissioner Weatherly took up the mat
ter of his resignation with the commits
sioners. 1t is understood that he wishes
to know whom the commission have in
mind ito appoint in his place at the time
he resigns. In the event the commits
sion does not wish to select a candidate
to take the place of Mr.. Weatherly be-
fore he resigns, it is thought Mr.. Wealth
erly will indefinitely defer his resigna-
ton. None of the commissioners have
stated that they have any one in view
One of them made the remark that the
time would not be ripe until Mr.. Weather
ly had resigned.
