ADMISSIONS MADE
 BY SMITH CAUSE
 REAL SENSATION
l.. & N. Political Activity of Past Impossible Now Under Corrupt Prac-
 tices Act
By FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, February 70. Special. IA political sensa- tion beyond comparison with any other of recent years was caused in Montgomery Tues day afternoon by disclosures of the interstate commerce com mission showing that the Louisville and Nashville rail- road spent $30,800 in the state during the political campaign of 1914 in an effort to prevent rate reductions which were ad- vocated by B. B. Conner when he was running against Gov ernor Henderson and other can didates in 1914.
 It was recalled that the railroad during the campaign carried adver- tlsements in many newspapers insist ing upon no reductions in railroad rates, but the disclosures from Wash lngton did not indicate whether or not the expense of this advertising campaign entered into the fund as certified to the interstate commerce commission by Milton H. Smith, pres- ident of the railroad.
 The corrupt practices act, which re- quires every committee or agent in a political campaign to make minute accounting of all funds spent in favor of any candidate or issue or against any candidate or issue, was not on the statute books at the time and there was no law which required the Louisville and Nashville railroad to make an ac- counting in this state. If the railroad were active in the present campaign it would be required to file a statement five days before the election l an- other after the election.
 Nothing has occurred in the state to show what newspaper received the s15,- O0o from the Louisville and Nashville railroad May 5, 1907, which MT. Smith admitted was for the aid of a newspa- Der which was advocating certain views upon public questions in which the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany ccncurred."
 According to the date given by MT. Smith in his affidavit. this fund was turned over to the newspaper four months after Governor Conner was in- augurated.

ACTION OF SOME BANKSDENOUNCED
 BY P.G.HARD|NG

Washington, February 26.-A spor- adic movement by banks in various To- calities to increase interest rates on bank deposits as means of swelling deposits at the expense of other banks. was denounced tonight by w. r. C. Harding. governor of the federal re- serve board. He said the movement threatens to weaken the entire bank ing structure If continued and to force higher rates on government securities and promote imitation.
 A few banks, it has been reported to the board, have raised their rate on checking deposits from ? to 2h per cent, and each action of this sort has had an immediate effect on other banks not only in the same community. but at distance. Governor Harding declared there is no apparent demand by depositors for this increase, and he urged banks which have increased their rates to restore them to the form. CT level

Only the excellent preparatory train ing in quickness by the American troops prevented the projector attacks, the first experienced by them, from causing more casualties
 The attacks were made within ten minutes of each other and were direct ed at a certain wood. Seventy & inch shells of 30 percent gas, and twen- ty high explosive shells were nred from German minenwerfers. The flight of the projectiles was traced through the air the gas shells bursting in the air and the high explosives detonating when they came in contact with the earth. Large fragments of shells flew from both missiles.
 The gas caught some of the men be- fore they were able to adjust their masks and overcame others while they were asleep in dugouts.
 The American artillery Monday retail iated against the, German artillery which had been shelling them but which, not withstanding the intensity of the fire, did no damage and wounded only one man.
 The Americans began by smelling Mont sec. where buildings were destroyed. They also effectively shot up large working party in a dugout, from which cries for heio were heard. The enemy today concentrated his fire on q cer- tain town within the American lines.
 The weather cleared today and there was much aerial activity. Several fights in the air occurred over and behind the American line and in addition the Amer ican anti-aircraft guns were firing all day long. Enemy planes attacked saus- age balloon in which an American cap- tain was acting as observer The bal loon was hauled down hurriedly without having been damaged.

 Mir. Peale explained that. whereas H. c.

He added that in view of the fact that the Ten nessee, Republic and other steel pro ducing companies had not signed tho agreement and that between those com panies and their miners serious disagree ment still existed, the administrator deemed 1t expedient to dispatch his rep resentatives to the scene.

Age-Herald's Washington Correspondent Unable te E Secure Information FrOr $'
 Roads Representative
By HUGH ROBERTS. :,

Washington, Februa s26. Special. An Alabama news paper in 1907-the year the Conner anti-railroad legislature had it's initial sitting received from the Louisville and Nash vile railroad, for reasons and purposes not mentioned, the sum of $15,000.
 Assiduous effort by the repre- sentative of The Age Herald to clear innumerable other newspapers by naming the one who profited from the munificence of Milton H. Smith resulted in failure. MT. Smith is in Louisville. No agent of his or his railroad in Washington professed to have knowledge.
 Mir. Smltf, in filing answers to in- terrogatories propounded sometime ago by the interstate commerce commission. incriminated the one unnamed newspa- per. His answers, delivered by mail, were scarcely more specific than his verbal testimony rendered last spring If his answers covered the entire poit- ical operation of the railroad, the rail- road was more inactive than active in Alabama campaigns, and thus the charge Of candidate running on anti-railroad platforms fall flat.
 Other thar the one unnamed newspa- per Mir. Smith incriminared no institu- ton or individual in Alabama lnasmuch. however, IS he did not specify the news paper to whom he turned over $p,oO0 ita is regarded as certain that all stve that one newspaper will demand of MT. Smith that he point out the one he took un- der his protecting wing.
 The investigation of the Louisville and Nashville was undertaken at suggestion of former Senator Lea of Tennessee. The alleged political operation of the rail- read in Alabama was undertaken at suggestion of former Governor Conner of Alabama. Governor Conner in 1906 of platform and he charged that the Louis vile and Nashville was financing his opposition.
 In that campaign Governor Conner was opposed by practically all newspapers of the state, only one daily and two week. lies upholding his platform and conten- tions.
