REORGAN|zAT|ONOF T|DEWATER LINES Company Will Probably Re main In Hands of Pri-
 vate Owners

The reorganization of the Birmingham, Ensley and Bessemer Street railway will probably be concluded by May 1. ac- cording to a statement made yesterday by F'orney Johnston attorney for the company Mir Johnston conferred during the day with the city commissioners, which gave rise to the report that the city was again contempla ting the pur- chase of the lines. In statements issued after the conference, Commissioners Weatherly and Barber announced that the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company would not be allowed to acquire the line.
 The reorganization of the Tidewater will probably be completed by May T. declared Forney Johnston. q think the company will remain in the hands of pri- vate owners after the plans are completed. Of course. there has been some talk about the city of Birmingham taking over the property and operating the lines, but I do not consider that at all probable. There is some doubt about the legal right of the city to take that action. My con- ference with the city commissioners to- day was largely of a routine nature re- garding details in the affairs of the com pany.'

SPRING 'DRESS-UP"
 TO START MONDAY
The Dress-Up Idea Does Not Stop With Clothes But
 Applies Otherwise

Spring Dress-Up. which will be in Bir- mingham for a two weeks stay. begin ming Monday next. is national effort to bring home to men and women the psychology of being well dressed, ac- cording to Secretary H. D. Cullen of the Birmingham Ad club, which is boosting Spring Dress-Up in every way it can.
 The idea of being we'll dressed does not necessarily mean that a or a woman must have new clothes, but rather that they must keep the clothes they have in first class condition. If they can afford it, they certainly should buy new clothes of the latest fashion, for every one knows what effect new clothes has upon them in their daily work; what ef- feet they have upon the people with whom they come in contact
 Tn our nurrying life of today we are forced to accept most of the people we meet for what they seem. and for what they seem their clothes chiefly re- sponsible. It is this side of clothes, their importance to their wearers, because of the effect they have upon others whose opinion may minister to success or fail ure, and because of their influence on the mental outlook of the wearers them selves, that every man should try to bring home to his fellows.
 ''The Dress-Up' idea does not stop with clothes. It means that paint should be used on the dwellings. both inside and outside; that lawns should be put in trim, gardens cultivated, and everything pos sible done to convey the idea that the en- tire city is in it's dressed up apparel. It will have good effect and the whole people should get behind it.

RIVAL CANDIDATES
 MAY STAGE JOINT
 DEBATE IN CITY
Aspirants for President of Public Service Commits siOn-Kennedy States
 Outlook Promising

Local interest in the race for president of the public service commission was in- creased yesterday with the visit to Bir- mingham of Sam P Kennedy, president of the body and candidate for reelection, and the announcement that J. A. Carnley of E,lba, one of his opponents, would reach the city today The arrival of Henry P Merritt of TuslSegee, the other candidate for this office, is expected with in few days.
 T am feeling better about the campaign every day" said Mir Kennedy, who was at the Morris yesterday. 'T find that the people consider that my knowledge of railroad rates, a question which is more or less technical together with the eX- perience I have had as president of the commission, and for some years as sec retary of the body, better fit me for the place than lawyer who has had no ex- perience in these matters
 Considerable interest attaches to the recalled that his published statements sometime ago to the effect that MT. Ken nedy was the willing servant of the railroads" while MT. Merritt was the candidate of the Alabama Power com pany and certain public service corpora tions," created a lively discussion MT. Kennedy immediately demanded that MT. Carnley agreed to meet MT. Kennedy on the stump and if he could not substantiate his charges, he would then withdraw them.
 It is understood that Mr. Carnley is coming to Birmingham for the purpose of making further statements regarding the campaign. He will probably issue chal- lenge to his opponents for joint debate at Capitol park Friends of Mir. Carnley assert that he will have something further to say regarding his two opponents.

This is ex- actly the situation In Alabama today We have seen within the past Is months that there can De no real pros perity in this state. no matter what the conditions in other lines of busi- ness are. unless the farmers are pros pering | want The Age Herald to con tinue the work which the weekly is doing and l am certain the co-opera- tion of the people of the state will be received in greater measure all the time'

STATEMENT ISSUED !. BY MARTIN ABOUT
 POWER OFFICIALS
Washburn Has Resigned All Connection, But Worth ington Still Holds
 Certain Offices

Thomas w. Martin, vice president and general counsel of the Alabama Power company. yesterday issued a formal state of Frank S. Washburn and J. W. Worth iI gton from official connection with the power company.
 MT. Martins statement was issued con corning the report published from Wash ington in The Age-Herald yesterday to the effect that neither MT. Washburn nor Mir. Worthington was connected now with the Alabama Power company
 MT. Martin stated that he took the matter up with James Mitchell, presi- dent of the Alabama Power company, who felt that the public was in no way interested in these matters, but in justice was authorized by President 4iitchell and given out here by MT. Martin:
 MT. Washburn was chairman of the beard of directors of this company until March 1 of this year when he forwarded his resignation to the office of the com pany in New York. at which time his sal ary terminated, and at the same time he resigned director of the Alabama Traction, Light and Power company and Muscle Shoals Hydro -Eelectric Power company As you understand, the Ala bama Traction, Light and Power com pany controls the companies named, and Mir Washburn was on that beard of directors.
 As to whether MT. Washburn was a director of other companies controlled NY thn F Iar, Dnx AL company received a letter from Mr. Washburn dated Saturday last, March IS, in which he said that he was also reslgning from the board of directors of the other subsidiary companies of the Alabama Power company, such as the Alabama Interstate Power company, Bir- minSham Montgomery and Gulf Power company, Horne Alabama Railway, Pow CT and Manufacturing company, in which MT. Washburn is vice president and Anniston Electric and Gas company. Lit tie River Power company and Alabama Power and Light company, in which Mir. Washburn Is director.

Worthington is also director in Alabama Interstate Power company, Little River Power company and the Alabama Power and Light com pany. which companies are also controlled by the Alabama Power company

PROHIBITION ACTIyITIES

In it's last analysis, the foundation for the attack upon me is because of my sin cere prohibition activities in Alabama In this race I have the support of ma . jorty of the democratic office holders in Alabama, of more than three-ffths of the democratic state executive committe, of a large number of Senator Underwood s last campaign committed and of his friends and admirers. of many sincere local optionists all of whom have confi- dence in my integrity, and are willing to join in the effort that is being made by some to disqualify democrat from hold ing public honors because he is. at the same time, an honest and consistent pro- hibitionist
 Senator Underwood has been away from Alabama SC long that he is evidently unaware of how many democrats there are in Alabama who believe. as I do, in prohibition. If. by reason of my prohibit ton activities I am accused of betraying the principles of my party, I am one among the tens of thousands who dare to assert that their party honor is without taint, even though as mighty a parsonage as the junior senator from Alabama might disagree with them.
 Following the publication of Senator Un- derwood's letter came long indorsing edi- torials from each of the newspapers pub fishing it. They are about to make me against my will national issue. The proper diagnosis of the complaint of these papers is not national prohibition in 1920 but present statewide, prohibition in Ala bama. Very truly yours

IDEATH ATTRIBUTED
 TO NATURAL CAUSES

the physicians who examined the body of Charlotte Jordon, the negress of 200 pounds or more who dropped dead in the Louisville and Nashville passenger depot Monday afternoon. the following causes are given for the death: 'Cronc myocdrtities and endo-carditis, acute cardiac dillation, or cardiate failure all of which means in plain Anglo Saxon English that death came as result of fatty degeneration of the heart.
 Coroner Spain alleges that any one of the above causes is enough to kill any common person, and that he cannot see how the negress lived as long as she did. if she had what the doctors claimed she had
