Public Confused Over
 Duties of U. s. District Representative Here
Hos no Connection With Local Coal Situation Acts Under Washing to Orders Only

Considerable confusion seems to be prevalent regarding the work of E. A. Holmes, district representative of the federal fuel administration in Washing ton, who is stationed in Birmingham with offices in the Brown-M Marx build ing. Many people have the idea that he is handling the local coal situation, which is erroneous.
 Mir. Holmes only acts upon requests from the state fuel administrator or upon orders from Washington to meet emer- gencies. His powers are outlined as follows:
 "The district representative is not to be confused with the fuel administrators, whose duties and responsibilities remain as heretofore. The duty of the district representative is to facilitate the ship ment of coal to meet emergencies on requests and orders from the United States fuel administrator and from the state fuel administrators, to make equit- able allotment of such orders among operate and to keep the fuel adminis- tration at Washington informed of con- ditions In each producing district.
 Authority is not given to the district representative to determine priority of needs, nor to prefer one consignee over another This authority is reserved to the United States fuel administrator and when so authorized to the state fuel ad- ministrators. It is to be noted that the agency is intended primarily to meet emergency needs. Under normal condi- tions the purchaser will be left as free as the war emergency permits to deal directly with the operators producing the coaln

More Knitted Garments
 Needed at Camp Wheeler

Mrs C. P. Orr has received a let ter from Gov. Charles Henderson re- garding the distribution of knitted garments to the Alabama boys at Camp Wheeler in which he quotes q message received from Brig Gen R. E. Steiner, commanding the Sixty-sec ond briade at Camp Wheeler. which Is the Alabama brigade. as follows:
 Emitted garments will be distrib- uted by me with pleasure The good women of Alabama have already been very generous but many more can be used. In my opinion, there will be no conflict with military or Red Crosa regulations. Half the men have sweat CTS and in addition mufflers, wristlets and helmets are also desired Mrs Carl Scales is in Macon and will Be delighted to be of any service in this way"
 Governor Henderson further states the Alabama brigade is half Alabama and half Florida and if sweaters or other things sent for this brigade are intended for any particular ones there should be someone to attend to tie distribution with specifications as to whom they should be delivered.
 The above will show that more knitted garments are needed at Camp Wheeler and the women of Birming- ham will see that these necessary things ar provided for Alabama's sons.

SPRING WEATHER IS
 BOON TO FUEL BOARD
Two Weeks of Present Moderation in K Temperature Will Greatly
 Aid Everyone

The spring-like weather has greatly re- lleved the coal shortage and less than a half dozen calls were received at the office of the Jefferson county fuel board yesterday.
 Frank B. Fowlkes, chairman of the fuel board. stated the merchants had been anxious to know if the Garfield order meant they must remain closed on Monday or if they might remain open and use no coal. MT. Fowlkes wired Sam P. Kennedy, state fuel administra- tor, regarding this matter, and MT. Ken nedy wired back that, according to his ruling, the stores might remain open, but would not be allowed to burn coal.
 The board met yesterday morning in room Ss4 Brown-Marx building and dis cussed the coal situation If we can have two weeks of this beautiful wealth er'' said MT. Fowlkes, the dealers will be given an opportunity to secure some coal for emergency. and we will have passed over the most serious stages of the situation"

Will Birmingham be able to secure the Southern university?
 The joint commission appointed by the Alabama and the north Alabama confer ences to unify Methodist male educa- tion in the state met at the First Meth odist church, all the members being pres ent.
 The commissioners from the Alabama conference are the Rev. E. A. Dannel- ley, the Rev. E. c. Moore and the Rev. Andrew Sledd and Messrs NJ M Mccall of Opelka, E. W. Elliott of Moundville and Judge J. R. Chapman of Dothan. Those representing the North Alabama conference are: Dr. L. C. Branscomb, Dr. J. D Simpson and Dr. |. w. Brandon, R. s. Munger and Judge Hugh A. Locke of Birmingham, Hon. W. P. Acker of Anniston. Bishop J. H. Mccoy is chair man of the commission.
 It will be recalled that last December the Alabama conference decided to ac- cept the invitation of the North Alabama conference to remove the Southern uni- versity, with it's assets, amounting to over $100,00o, to Birmingham, provided the friends of Birmingham college would build an additional dormitory to cost not less than s40,000, and raise in cash and good subscriptions an endowment fund of S100,0o0. This would give the united institution total assets of $5O0000. and an annual income of 9000o to meet cur rent expenses. The proposition has a

WELLS SIMPLE IFS PLANS FOR PLACING
 NEW CERTIFICATES
Curtailment of Nonessen- tial Credits Will Be One of Duties Falling Upon
 Bankers

President Oscar Wells of the First Ma tional bank has returned from Atlanta,
 where he was appointed chairman of a special department of the Atlanta federal reserve bank, which will look after the placing of federal certificates of indeSt- edness.
 The immediate purpose of Mir. Wells new department will be the placing of sl0. .000, COG worth of these certificates in this federal bank district, this being the allotment out of total of $400, 000, DO, which will be placed by the treasury de- partment before January 20.
 "These certificates of indebtedness, D
 said Mir Wells, are issued by the treas
 ury department and the present issue
 being offered runs from January 22 to April 2 and bear per cent interest. They are issued in anticipation oi further government loans and can be used later in making payments on bond issues, offered by the government. There is, of course. little difficulty an. ticipated in placing this first Sl0, 900, ,00t in this district, but as the government continues to offer more bond issues was felt advisable to have regular or ganiZation which should be in charge ol placlng them. little later l shall prop ably name q committee consisting of well known bankers, representing various parts Of the district who will assist in the work.
 ''The federal reserve board and bank CTS generally realize that as the govern ment demands increase an important re- sronsibility will fall upon the bankers to see that the funds for such loans are
 made available. The governments re-
 Qcirements will naturally come first with
 everyone.
 "One Of the. first steps to be taken by
 bankcls in this connection will probably
 be the curtailment of nonessential credits In other words, funds which can
 be used to advantage by the government will have to be used in that way and those things which are not regarded as essential will have to wait. The temporary certificates of ndebt- edness placed by the government are, of course, not confined to banks. but may be taken by anyone. They offer exeep- tienal advantage as an investment be- cause they may be used in making pay
 ments on forthcoming liberty bond is- sues

time limit, however, and the conditions must be met prior to June 1, 1918.
 The meeting of the commission was, in a large measure, preliminary, and while the most friendly feeling prevailed the Alabama conference commissioners felt that they could not take any definite of its abaility to comply with the afore- mentioned financial conditions, This, north Alabama was not ready to do at this time; but it is expected will be prepared to give this assurance before the expiration of time limit June l. 191S
 During the discussion one of the Ala bama commissioners and he voiced the sentiment of. his entire delegation, said "We must unite; we think Birmingham is the place for the school. and we want to come to Birmingham, but if Birmingham cannot raise the Sl50,000 necessary to put over the proposition, we have here three lavnen, and they are worth the money who will underwrite for the Alabama conference to raise the $150,000 provided you will come to Greensboro. We really want to come to Birmingham. but our instructions are explicit, and we cannot come unless Birmingham meets the con- ditions."
 It is expected that Birmingham Meth odsm and Birmingham will meet the conditions and secure this foundation for a great institution.
 The meeting. after considering num- Der of phases of the question. adjourned to meet in Montgomery in March at a date to be fixed by the chairman.
