HARDING QUICKLY SETS AT REST WILD
 RUMORS ON COTTON
Numerous Telegrams Had Been Sent to Representative Lever Regard ing Rumored Reserve Bank
 Ruling

Washington. November 16-(special) w. P. G. Harding of Birmingham, gov ernor of the federal reserve board set | straight this afternoon wild rumor
 which had demoralized the agricultural interests of the entire country.
 Representative Lever, of South Caro- lima, chairman of the House committee on agriculture went to the governor with telegrams from practically every section of the United States. These telegrams were from farmers and farmers organi- zations declaring their regret and alarm
 that the federal reserve board had in- structed all banks of it's system to re-
 frain from further discounting of cotton
 notes. When Representative Lever had
 completed his story and added that the entire country and especially the south
 was panicy, Governor Harding had just
 one word to say. That was a simple statement to the effect that the alarm
 was unwarranted as no bank of the sys-
 tenn had been given any such instruc-
 ton.
 Representative Lever, after the con- ference explained to newspaper corres-
 pondents that in no other "A hours of his. life had he received so many telegrams

whenever we could. as we recognized that it was due these liberal citizens and that the list was also good cad for Birmingham and Jefferson county, evidencing the unity and liberality of our people.
 Errors have accourred in the publi- cation of this list, as is almost invaria- bly the case in the handling of names. As one instance I cite the Bank of Ala bama at Ensley, which was accidentally omitted from the list in the ads pub lished Saturday. I happen to know that this bank has been a subscriber to all war work campaigns. And then the Yo- lande Cole and coke company subscribed at the beginning of the campaign but un- fortunately the name was not turned in until later. am citing these as typical instances of errors, which we regret.
 This plan of creating an advertising fund and dividing the advertising as fairly as possible between the newspa- pers may be open to criticism; but, talk ing 1t by and large, I think it is the bet ter way"

Will Attend Meeting at Co- !, lumbus, O., for ConsideraZ tion of Worldwide
 Prohibition

Whether the Anti-Saloon league or America will father a movement for world wide prohibition will be deter mined at a convention to be held at Col umbus, Ohio, beginning next Tuesday, At this convention the Antf-Saloon league leaders will report on the work done and the results accomplished dur ing the recent campaign when enough states voted for the federal prohibition amendment to make it's ratification cer- tain early next year.
 L. B. Musgrove of Jasper, chairman of the national ratification committee, leaves today for Columbus to attend the convention. He stated yesterday that the convention would probably continue through three four days.
 Men from nearly every country will be present at the convention, said MT. Musgrove, and the question of extend- ing the prohibition movement to other countries will be discussed, and the best methods for pushing it along considered. In the event we decide to enter upon active campaigns in other countries it will be necessary to either change the name of our organization, or to perfect an entirely new organization for that purpose. There is hardly doubt how ever, but what we will start campaigns in several of the European countries at an early date.
 EUROPEAN LEADERS PRES ENT
 Some of the leading men of Europe will be at the convention and making plans for extending the prohibition movement to their countries, and we will be guided largely by their advice
 MT. Musgrove states that he is giving consideration to the request of many of his friends that he enter the race for United States senator in 1920 in opposi tion to Senator Underwood 'If I do get in the race" he said, T will go in to win, and the campaign will be about the hottest ever waged in Alabama"
 With reference to the senatorial cam paign he authorized the following state ment:
 CONSIDERING SENATORSHIP
 Until the momentous questions of the war and peace are out of the way l do not think it at all wise or patriotic to inject any personalities into cam paign that does not climax until May, 1920.
 T have received many letter from over the state urging me to make the race Numbers of my business friends have in terviewed me with arguments favorable to my entering the list. have the matter under serious consideration and at what I consider the proper time will make a definite announcement.
 You may say this, however. I will be in the race with all the powers posses, If not as a candidate, as the packer or helper of the man the prohibit tionists and progressive democrats may center on as their candidate"

Bessemer. November 16.-(Special)-To meet the municipal expenses of the year 1919. licenses will be raised in Bessemer at the rate of 10 to % per cent, accord ing to the statements of city officials. It is estimated that $800O will be turned into the city treasury as the result ot the calculated increase in the license schedule. An increase in the salary of all city employees from October l neces- sitates a greater source of revenue, and it is thought that the raise in the li- censes will be passed at a meeting of the city council in the near future. An increase in street tax from s to s5 at recent meeting of the city council will also swell the city funds, and it is thought that the two increases will in all probability, cover the additional ex- penses of the city.
