REFUND FOR CORPORATIONS

Montgomery, November 2.-(Special) Domestic corporations that paid taxes on their capital stock and solvent credits for the four years ending with 1913, are entitled to refund of the solvent credit taxes, according to an opinion rendered the state auditor today by Lawrence E.

UNDERWOOD STATES CASE


 Birmingham occupies q peculiar po- sition in this state. Anything that is located in the state is of benefit to Birmingham. If the plant7is located in the Birmingham district which would include Gadsden and Tuscaloosa, Bir- mingham will be benefited. in that it would supply the raw material. Our banks, merchants and hotels would come in for their share of government money. through the men employed; so why should we not be for Alabama?
 q do not think that political in- fluence will have anything to do with the location of the plant. The board is composed of naval experts, who are looking at the case from business viewpoint. It probably would impair their standing in the naval department if they should make a mistake in se- lecting location for the plant. Now, the wise thing is to look the facts straight in the face. and see what you have to do You are to tackle a busi- ness nronOSitiOn

TELLS OF LONDON LIFE

Montgomery November 2-(Specialo Mrs. Edward Lowry, who is visiting her mother Mrs. L. w. Lahey, is in Mont gomery, her former home, for the first time since the declaration of the world war at the beginning of which she left for London with her husband, who had been appointed by Ambassador Page to take charge of the German division of the American embassy in England. Mrs Lowry is direct from London and fur nishes vivid accounts of conditions ex- isting in that land. giving much that writers have not touched on.' Her life was close to the heart of diplomatic af- fairs, enabling her to obtain an insight into the happenings
 She has a profound admiration for the English people, whom she declares are making a great fight, greater, perhaps, than the world knows. She describes the setting back of the clocks, that system of saving an hours fuel and lights, which was followed minutely in every home.
 Mrs. Lowry brought news of Miss Eliza beth Shelly, an Alabama girl, who was one of the first to go to the front as a war nurse.
 Miss Shelly was in Servia when last I heard of her." she said, doing work ! which has brought recognition from those high in the Red Cross service.

 MT. Bush told of the effort made to date by the Chamber of Commerce to induce the government to locate the $11,00O,000 plant in the Birmingham district. He added that Georgia and Mississippi, through their delegations in Congress, would give Alabama their support. He stated that he had learned that about 75 acres would be required as site for the plant. and suggested that the real estate men select a site for the consideration of the govern ,ment. This suggestion was favorably acted upon.
 Judge Allen made a happy and en- thusiastic speech He advocated the selection of a suitable site on the War fior river

 It has been whispered that Judge Kelton has expressed fear that it might not be possible for him to appear. If his fear materializes. the audience will be deprived of the pleasure incidental to his answering questions as to who are his associates in the fight against the amendment.

 Milton pleased in his comedy, pleased in his makeup, pleased in his musical numbers and more than pleased with his little church. organ.
 "The Diamond Palace" is the name of the vehicle which introduces to the au- dience Frank Milton and the DeLong sisters. All three are very clever. the DeLong sisters being of fine appearance and capable performers. Milton is the big bright spot of the act and the bright spot of the bill. He is so good that everyone at the Lyric last night felt that they would have gotten their moneys worth if no one else was on the bill The entire programme, however. is good one; in fact, one of the best entertain ments of the season.
 The Norvelles in An Artists Studio'' proved extremely entertaining, and Willie Smith pleased in song recitations.
 The Frescotts present an unusual num- Der and one that pleased and amused the audience Mental telepathy forms the entertainment in this act and there is plenty to cause wonder The comedy, keeps the audience in fine humor
 The Five Sweethearts is clever at traction presented by five juvenile actors and actresses, which include some clever dancers and singers and the young boy at the piano is exceptionally clever.

COLD FACTS NEEDED

Next is the question of how are we going to get it. Your representatives in Congress will do all they can. Much you must do yourselves. You must pre- sent to the board cold facts in a busi- ness way.
 T would suggest that if you want to do anything more than what the committee has done. that you send some live. wide-awalke man to Wash- ington to keep in touch with the sit uation there. This is not necessary, put 1 suggest it as a practical step. We have good chance to get the plant if we go after it in the right manner.'
