NO ANNOUNCEMENT
 YET OF A MILITARY
 CAMP IN ALABAMA
Congressman Dent Sees MT. Baker and Then Expresses Confidence in Selection
 of Montgomery Site
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, May 19. - (Special) ) Col. Charles P. Summerall will return to Washington tomorrow from Ala bana, where he inspected the 15,000- acre tract in Calhoun county which the government will soon acquire for military purposes. Tn addition, he in spected a certain tract in Talladega Tor the purpose of ascertaining wheth- CT or not it could be utilized in con- nection with the Anniston property.
 There is still doubt as to whether the government, along with other pur- poses, will use the Calhoun property for mobilization camp. It is indicated at the war department that the Ala bama site will soon be announced but no indication is given as to the loca- tion of that site.
 Representative Dent of Alabama con- ferred this afternoon with Secretary Baker and declared afterwards that he was confident that Montgomery has bagged the prize. At the same time he expressed doubt that an early selection would be made because of the an- nouncement that troops will not be mobilized before September.

PROS ACTING STRANGELY

Washington April 19.-(Special9 Between their desire to act for the best interest of the country and at the same time to obey the instructions of political bosses "back home,' the prohibitionists have twice in recent days behaved strangely in the sen ate.
 In the first instance they were forced to make applicable to themselves very extreme prohibition measures which they would have enacted for the morals of soldiers solely. The follow ing day they realized either that their original scheme was very bad or that the amended measure would bear eX- ceptionally hard on their own appe- tites. At any rate, they knocked the entire section out of the army bill.
 In the second place they enacted a law preventing during the time of the national emergency the trans formation of grain into alcohol. That law would have closed down every brewery and distillery in the United States The following day they had evidently seen the light. At any rate, they. hastened to undo that which they had just previously done.
 The prohibitionists declare at the same time that they will take ad- vantage of war conditions to secure national prohibition. The anti-prohibl- tionists declare that they will not be able to accomplish their purposes. As a compromise it is regarded as prob able that Congress will give to tho administration the power to take such regulatory action as 1t deems proper for the preservation of the army and the treasury of the government.
 Nevertheless, oft repeated efforts of the moral brigade may be confidently expected.

critics to show that present conditions in the House are directly traceable to Kitchin's refusal to perform the duties of his position as well as to lack of team work between him and the chalrmen of committees to which legislation of inn portance has been referred.
 Despite the dissatisfaction with Ktch- ems leadership among his own party (which was shown by the declaration of Representative Heflin of Alabama that Kitchin should resign not oniy the lead ership, but his seat in the House be- cause of his attitude on the war resolu- ton, yet no move has been made to de- pose him from his leadership nor is any probable as long as Speaker Clark stands back of hin.'
 RETURN OF PEACE
 The wrangle, however. promises soon to adjust itself. No permanent break between Congress and the administration is anticipated. It Is the general prediction that in the near future, the two depart ments of government will find a middle ground on which In an amiable spirit of co-operation, they can proceed towards the accomplishment of the common end
 Congress believes and the administra- ton will probably realize that the sue cessful issue of the war with Germany is not solely dependent on the surrender by the former. to the latter of it's every constitutional function. Congress on the other hand. will eventually come to the understanding that in time of war condi- tions cannot be continued in their normal nature-that the new game requires new rules
 The present bitterness is the result of the government attempting to adjust it. self to war conditions. With every de- partment enthusiastic in the purpose to crush Germany conclusively and as rapid ly as possible permanent friction is re- earded as impossible.

MOBILIZATION CAMP

Maj. G. A. Youngberg. representing Gen. Leonard Wood, was in town yes terday, and made an inspection of the various sites offered for the mobilization camp. He declined to comment on any of them.
 Major Younsberg was met at the Termi- nal station by a committee from the Chamber of Commerce consisting of T. H. Motion, Nat Barker, T. Groom Beatty George Morrow, Louis V. Clark. and C. H. Ohme. This committee took Major Youngberg over the entire district and pointed out to him the tentative sites for the camp.
 Major Yongberg was entertained at a luncheon at the Tutwiler at 1 o clock, and left the city at o'clock. The major is subordinate to General Wood, who will visit the city in few weeks, and was here yesterday to assure himself that Birmingham really had something to offer, and that it would re- pay General Wood to make his visit.

VETERAN ENGINEER
 KILLED IN REAR-END
 COLLISION ONLL. G N.
Fireman Is Badly Injured. Passenger Train on the Lewisburg and North
 ern Runs Into Freight

Albany May 19.-(Special) )-Traffic was resumed on the Lewisburg and Northern branch of the Louisville and Nashville railroad late today, follow ing the clearing of the debris near Wheelerton. 56 miles north of here, re- sulting from the disastrous wreck of this morning, when southbound pas senger train No. 1 crashed into the rear of freight train No. 7S, which had stopped to make a siding.
 Thomas Douglas of Nashville, vet eran engineer, was killed and Emmett Riggan, also of Nashville, fireman was seriously, but it is not thought fatally wounded. The crew of the freight train escaped injury
 W. E. Tate, flagman on the freight, who was sent back to warn the ap- preaching flyer, declared that he was not responsible for the accident Engi- neer Douglas lived long enough to clear himself of responsibility. de- claring that he received no signal until the warning explosion of a tor pedo came too late for him to avert the accident. MT. Douglas was the oldest engineer in point of service on the road, having been employed as an engineman for half hundred years. He would have retired on June 1 on a pension and had passes in his pock- ct that he expected to use in attend ing the Confederate reunion at Wash ington.
 According to eyewitnesses, the pas senger train was slowing down to take on water at the tank at Wheel erton, when it crashed into the freight train ahead. Five cars of the freight were derailed and the baggage, malt and express cars of the passenger left the track. That the mail clerk and eX press messenger escaped is thought to have been due to the fact that the solid steel cars offered strong resist ance.
 Fireman Riggan and the dead engi- neer were placed on board a special car and hurried to Nashville, after be- ing brought to Athens. The wrecker went out from here and carried pr. r. P. Pettey, railroad surgeon, who as sisted in caring for the wounded man.
 There are two versions here as to the cause of the accident That the, flagman did not go back far enough to signal the approaching flyer ir time or that the dimmed eyesght of the aged engineer failed to note the danger signal flashed to him out of the semi darkness of the early morn ing. The wreck occurred about SEQ o'clock

TOWN OF GOODYEAR HIGHLY PROSPEROUS Former Deserted Village Now Center of Great and

Several years ago the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, Akron, O., adopted deserted village in Connecticut, which had borne successively the names of Williamsvlle and Killingy. but which now bears the officially approved post office name of Goodyear, and is now one of the most prosperous villages in the country" said Jewell Taylor, the manager of the local branch.
 Here are located the Goodyear cotton mills, which make a large part of the tire fabric used in the company's prod tets. The operation of these mills has been watched with interest by all tex tile manufacturers, for Goodyear was the first of the great rubber companies of the United States to establish it's own cotton mills"

They could later when conscription becomes nm popular with the families of those con scripted, have explained that they op- posed conscription and stood unflinching- ly by the voluntary system.
 An almost identical case was that in volving the so-called Roosevelt amend ment to the army bill. That amendment was not mandatory and might have been ignored. But the President did not want it incorporated in the bill. He wanted Congress to assume the responsi- bility in thwarting the efforts of the colonel. Congress desired that the Pres- ident assume that responsibility. In this Instance, Congress won. The President, face to face with the proposition. ig- nOred it.
