 tions of Mir. Morrow and MT. Bankhead were inclined to believe that the first report regarding the matter had indi- cate6 situation much more serious than really existed. They looked for no upheaval at the university over the matter. nor did they think that ihe resignations were caused by politics or any alleged pernicious political ac- tivity on the part of President Dem ny.
 It has been known for some time that Dr. Denny, along with practically all the other educators of Alabama. favored the revenue. bill. It Is de- clared that his position in that mat ter was indorsed by Judge Henry B. Foster, one of the leading trustees, and other members of the board, as we'll as by many of the alumni and friends of the institution. It is claimed that President Denny and other uni versity men who were active for the bill felt that the best interests of the university would be served by its pas sage, and it is declared that neither MT. Morrow nor MT. Bankhead bore any i'll feeling toward pr. Denny fo- his work in favor of the revenue bill
 Both Mr. Bankhead and Mir. Morrow have connections with certain coal in terests which were seriously oppos sed to the passage of the revenue bill with the tonnage tax included. believing that it would result in grave damage to their business. Both were labor ing for the defeat of the tonnage tax before the legislature. It is declared that the two trustees. feeling that they could not in justice to themselves or their clients, support the tonnage tax which President Denny and ccr- tain other friends of the university and alumni thought to be for the best interests of the institution. tender ed his resignation rather than be placed in the attitude of serving on the board of trustees and at the same time working against measure which those in charge of the conduct of ths university felt to be of vital import ance for it's future welfare.

KNOWS OF NO DISSATISFACTION

Dr. Denny, when informed that it had ben reported that dissatisfaction with the present order of things and cond6ct of the university was responsible for the resignations, stated that he had hedxd nothing to bear out such a report He krew nothing about the report that the plan to work convicts on the minera, lands of the University of Alabama was one of the causes for the action of the two trustees nor had he been informed that the action was in condemnation of his alleged political activity.
 He admitted that he and some of the other friends of the university had fav- ored the revenue - because they be- lieved its passage would work for the best interests of the cause of education In general in Alabama and for the uni versity. That there had been any per sonal differences with the two trustees about the matter was denied.
 pr, Denny denied that any other mem- bers of the trustees had rendered their resignations nor had he heard of any contemplating such an action. He knew nothing of the alleged interesting events which had been forecast imminent W hich would jar the university.
 Despite the reticense of Mir Bankhead and MT. Morrow. the two trustees who have rendered their resignations and President Denny, in discussing the mat ter yesterday. the facts in the case are fairly well known from confidential sources It is known that Mir. Morrow and Mir. Bankhead have been very ac- tive before the legislature for several weeks in their efforts to defeat the ton. mage tax feature of the revenue bill, section which was favored by President Denny. Judge H. B. Foster. number of other friends of the university and most of the educators throughout the state
 It is declared by those in position to know that there was no friction between the president of the university and the two members of the board of trustees over the matter and that there IS no per sonal animosity at this time. MT. Nor row and Mr. Bankhead, according to re- liable information felt that since Pres ident Denny and number of other friends of the university were thoroughly con- vinced that the best interests of the un versity would be served by the passage of the revenue bill with the tonnage tax in- cluded, and since they were thoroughly committed in opposition to that feature of the bill, they did not care to be placed in the light of working against the best in- terests of the institution while serving as members of the board of trustees. Ac- cordingly. the two members wired their resignations to the president of the Uni- versty to save all parties from embarass- ment. FIRST REPORTS EXAGGERATED

Aberdeen iS gradually COmino

Aberdeen is gradually coming
into good road connection with
every section of the county.
There are several thoroughfareS,
however, that lead from Aber-
deem to good trade districts that
beCOmealmoSt impossible durin g
good part of the year. The
one particularly in mind is the
Aberdeen and Cotton Gin road
leading out north of town. This
road has'been graded and ditChed
but because of its sticky clay soil
on parts of it, the road can not be
made suitable for travel through
out the year. 1t ought to be sur
faced. We hear that the COM
missioners have the matter under
Amusement and trust that the
work of SurfaCing will be done
before another winter. Aber-
deem is suffering the loss of trade
from territory trayerSed by that
road, because roads leading from
that territory TO other markets
attract trade to them. 1t is due
Aberdeen and the people who re-
side in the territory referred 10
that the road be surfaced before
another winter gets here. We
do not know if funds are avail
able for doing this work or not.
If there are no funds then steps
should be taken to provide them.

1t has long been recognized that
In some circumstances it is expe-
dent for one man to go to Jail for a
people who may be equally guilty
but whom it would be inexpedient
to send to Jail. One might sup
pose that even the Germans would
realize this sufficiently to regard the
disposition of their former emperor
with some Indifference; but it would
seem that the old German senti.
mentality has been reused bv the
prospect of some punishment for
this eminent picker of yiolets and
lachrymose contemplation of the
ruins OF France. Professor TheO-
dore Schiemann calls it a shocking
disregard of International and
moral laws beautified by tradition"
Since there is no evidence that any,
body in Germany was shocked by
the disregard of similar laws no less
beautified by tradition on the part
OF the German army in Belgium.
one may suspect that the German
conscience regards the kaiser az suf-
fering vicariously for his people and
resents the idea of trying him be-
