FERGUSON DEFENDS
 HIS LOANS r ROM
 TEXAS5TATE BANK
Governor Tells Committee He Never Owed S17O,OO0 to Temple Institution
 at One Time

Austin, Tex March 12-Gov. James E. Ferguson of Texas. testifying in his own behalf today before a legislative inves- tigating committee, defended his actions in connection with certain loans nego- tiated through the Temple State bank of which he formerly was president, and declared that at no time did his in- debtedness exceed $S0000.
 H. c. Poe, who succeeded Governor Ferguson as president of the Temple bank, previously testified that at one time the governor was indebted to the bank to the extent of $170,OO0 This amount the governor explained, was di- vided between himself and the Bell Bosque ranch, a stock company, and as serted that all the notes were abund- antly secured.
 On cross-examination Governor Fergu- son said it had been custom of bank CTS not to be bound by the provision of the banking laws limiting loans where the loans were well secured and ex- pressed the opinion that so-called lex cessve Ioans'' were not violative of sound banking so long as they were we'll se- cured. The intention of the officer mak- ing the loan should be taken into con sideration, the governor said
 The charging of various items of ex- pense at the executive mansion to the state was defended by the governor. He was excused from the witness stand late today.
 C. o. Austin, state banking commits sioner whose evidence concerned the di- rect testimony, said that 95 per cent of the state banks had made loans in ex. cess of the limit by the banking laws at one time or another. On crosse -examina- ton Austin declared that he told Poe as president of the Temple State bank that excessive loans made by that bank must be cleaned up." He said the loans referred to were the governors and the Bell -Bosque stock farms
 The introduction of rebuttal testimony began tonight.

ANN|STON COMPANY
 MAKING 400 SHELLS EVERY WORKING DAY

Anniston. March Especial )-The Anniston Ordnance company will be in position to make good showing II, the event the governments experts att tached to the Muscle Shoals board, now touring the country, accept the invitation of Col. J. w worthin gton, rendered at the hearing in Birming ham Saturday to visit the Anniston plant.
 The employees of the Anniston Ord nance company are turning out about 400 shells day at the present time, according to the best obtainable in- formation.
 These shells are the last of the big order that must be completed by March 31. Several weeks ago the British minister of munitions issued state ment to the effect that no more or ders for shells would be placed in this country. It is believed that the Can adian mills would be able to produce all the shells that were needed in ad- dition to the output of the English mills, but there is a rumor afloat at the present time that the munitions minister overshot his mark. It seems that the Canadian mills are not producing as great an output as the English government had hoped for, and the supply is far from suf- ficient to carry out the plan of the extensive operations outlined by the military heads for the spring campaign in France and in the eastern theatres of war
 For this reason, it is believed, more orders will be placed in the United States and in all probability theS An nston plant will get it's share of the new business. It is now in shape to turn out shells faster than ever before and could handle an order from Uncle Sam just as well as from the entente allies.
