EXPLAINS REASON 1. FOR FAULTY LIST OF ALLEGED SLACKERS Major Caldwell Expresses Regret for Embarrass-
 ment Caused Post
 master Smyer

T. Shapter Caldwell major, adJutant general. in charge of militia affairs, haadouarters southeastern department, Charleston had every reason to pe- lieye, he declares, that the list or all legged slackers sent by him to Post- master R. B. Smyer was correct list.
 The blame for the existence of the list he shoves on the shoulder or the adiutant general of the state and then excuses the adjutant general by the statement that company commanders in falling to notify the adjutant gen. eral were really culpable. Postmaster Smyer has been very much embarrassed by the repeated dis covery that men he was urged to To- cate as slackers were already in tEe service of the government. So embar- rassed was he that he wrote to the adjutant general in charge of militia affairs.
 The answer of the adjutant general l follows:
 l "I wish to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 10th inst. l 'sThe names of the men sent you were furnished these headquarters by
 the adjutant general of Alabama and l had every reason to expect that 1t l was a correct list.
 May I suggest that you have the
 Birmingham papers publish local calling attention to the mistake and l explaining that you were not to blame 1 in the matter.
 "The fault seems to be that the sew eral company commanders failed to notify the adjutant general of Ala I hama when these reservists reported for duty.
 q regret exceedingly the annoyance you have been put to as well as the embarrassing position in which you have been placed. In this connection permit me to express to you my ap- preciation of the great assistance you I have rendered me in this matter" I The list of alleged slackers as sent I to MT. Smyer by the adjutant general in charge of militia affairs was on re \ quest of Mir. Smyer printed in The l Age- Herald. Already six or eight mei enrolled on that list have written Int Il Age-Herald explaining that instead ol slackers they were ardently engaged in the service of their country. .l IeSteIuhy Sdpt. xu.

KENNEDY NAMES FOURMEMBERSOF
 STATE FUEL BOARD State Administrator Spent Yesterday in Conference
 With Local Men TALKS OVER PRICES
 WITH THE RETAILERS Thinks That Government Regulation Will Not Result in Any Ma terial Reduction to the
 Consumer

Sam P. Kennedy, fuel administrator for Alabama, in Birmingham yesterday an- nounced four or five members of the central committee which he has recom- mended to N. A. Garfield, federal fuel administrator, for service in this state.
 The four members who have accepted
 follow: Robert Jemison, Birmingham chairman; J. J. Bradley, Huntsville; Reed Barnes, Opelika, and J. c. Henderson Troy. The fifth member will be resi- dent of Mobile.
 MT. Kennedy also announced that Jef- ferson county committee of seven mem bers would be later announced.
 Beginning at noon yesterday. the ad' ministrator conferred with a score oi local retail dealers. The law for the dealers was fully interpreted, and MT Kennedy in detail attempted to solve Tn numerable problems which have stood III the way of an accurate compliance witn requirements In addition, wagon deai ers portesting against the law whicr does not give them the right to charge an extra fee for haulage over those oeai- CTS whose operations are on railroads occunied an hour of MT.

 The dealers were required to protes' t,roueb the state officials MT. Kennedy will dispatch their protest to washing VI NO GREAT REDUCTION
 Fo,,owing the completion of the hra,ness. MT. Kennedy discussed briefly inc coal situation as 1t more nearly concerns the ultimate consumer. It de ye,oned that MT. Kennedy is Of tht opinion that as result of government regulation. there will be no materia reduction in price to the consumer. Tn' activity of the government, however he declared, will prevent a genera pyramiding of current prices.
 Under the law said MT. Kennedy "a retailer may charge for his coal price carrying the profit he made II 1915. plus 30 per cent, provided his pres ent profit is not greater than tna gained in July. This will probably per init dealers to continue to sell at price which prevailed in July or which pres ently prevail "However, the benefit to the peopl' will be found in the fact that retai dealers cannot increase prices on ac count of the shortage to he caused :; the fuel requirements of the govern ment at war.

ing of dinner.
While passing, 1t might be said
that everybody in the ward took IL

NeuUs


N. Jensen and Prof. Hickman, of the
Brigham Young college, leave for
Kansas City to attend the winter di-
vision of the N. 4. A.. This season
of the N. +. A. is probably the most
important session of the conventions
as 1t is limited to the principals,
heads Of schools, etc. 1t is a con-
vention where the greatest educators
of the nation will deliver lectures on
the courses that should be given in
the normal, high and elementary
schools of the country. The conven-
ton opens Monday, February rs,
and lasts the week.
Those who saw the game between
the U. A. c. freshmen and the B. Y.
c. second team are still feeling
sorry for those who did not brave
the storm and see game which, in
the vigor and tenacity of fight, re-
sempled a old-time football game
and a modern "Verdun" engagement
with one exception-the scrap
Tuesday night wasn't vindictive. 1t
came as a very fitting method Of
Washington Birthday celebration. At
the end of the first half the score
stood 10 to in favor of the U. A. c.
Most of the scores made were made
on fouls.
A ten-minute suspense was enjoyed
by both sides while the time keep
ers convinced the opposition that the
score of 16 to II, in favor Of the B.
Y. c., was correct. Horne, Fl. Hyer,
Hammond. Mcbride and o. Edwards
were the players for the B. Y. OF
these, Hammond was easily the star
of the evening, though Horne did
wonderful work as guard, and Nc
Bride made one of the prettiest
throws ever seen in the gymnasium.
No one who saw the second team play
with the Chicago Cresents can say
that a team cannot come back"
after 1t once has been squelched.
The B. Y. c. team plays Preston to-
morrow night and the U. A. c. on
Tuesday.
