Montgomery, July %. - Especially
Members of the legislature are being
flooded with letters and kilograms
from all parts of the state and from
men in all lines of business urging
them to oppose the passage of house
bills SS6 and SIS. which relate to f.o
and other insurance on property aud
casual and health insurance.
The letters and kilograms are equal
ly emphatic in indorsing senate oil:
1874, which has passed there and is now
on the house calendar, Under this Oil
20 or more persons, of whom more
than half must be bonafide residents
of the state, may associate themselves
together for the purpose of carrying on
mutual insurance company by cum
plying with the provisions of the act
and the insurance laws of the state.
Mutual insurance companies or assn
Citations organized under this act would
have authority to insure property
against loss by fire, lightning, tornadn,
storm. earthquake, frost. snow, floods,
explosions. hazards of business, casu-
alties, disability caused by acciden; Or
sickness: automobile damages, acc.-
dents. thefts. etc. and in fact all kinds
of insurance except life.
The old line fire and liability insur-
ance companies are fighting this Slll
and urging the passage of house bills
$50, and 3SS, which would confine such
insurance to the old line companies
which, merchants and others claim,
now have a monopoly and are charg-
ing excessively high premium rates.
The Jefferson delegation has ra-
ceived a large number of letters ard
kilograms from business men of that
county in the last few days. The Civic
association has sent a long telegram
in which Secretary c. l. Harold states
that association held a joint meeting
with the Retail Grocers and Butchers
associa ton, the Furniture Dealers as

citation, the Druggists association AMI

can affairs; must certainly take means
sufficiently drastic to end forever the
periodical outbreaks on the part of the
bandits which result in American deaths
or national humiliation.
1t is understood that the Mexican stu
alton was discussed by the peace COM
missioners in Paris, although it is now
regarded as probable that England as a
mandatory power over that country, was
only informally discussed. The report is
that England and France were insistent
that the United States put an end to out
RACES against the lives and property OF
their people, and that the President,
aware of the necessity of such action
or account of the troubles of this nation,
was in accord with their representation.
Since the President returned, Mexican
conditions have not improved. On the
contrary. Americans are mistreated in
person. or property by Villa, on the one
hand, and Carranza on the other. From
the attitude of Congress one judges that
the apologies of Carranza will no longer
suffice
1t is reported that the President and his
cabinet are of mind with Congress in
the premises.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Letter to the Legislature

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
| To the members of the Alabama
legislature: Standing on the broad plat
form OF tolerance and compassion for
all human beings. regardless of race,
creed or color, the Philosophical Society
stands also for gentlenesss and compa-
ssOn toward the dumb beasts and the
birds. and all life whatsoever.
The Birmingham lodge of the Theo-
sophical Society notes with satisfa ction
that the present session of the legisla-
ture will consider measures looking to
relief OF the children of the state and to a
more motherly concern on the part of
Alabama for those who now have but
inadequate protection thrown about them
The Birmingham lodge is also gratifed
to note that the child welfare legislation
goes even further and provides for better

idiots and morons row living in aims

or else incarcerated in prisons. The
lodge prays that the Alabama leeisla- :
ture may see its way to face this unfor-
turate situation at whatever apparent
cost or financial expense and to pro-
vide funds for construction of a home
for these poor creatures as will not only
serve to make their lives happier, but will
keep them segregated fnom the more in
teligent and conscient masses of the peo-
File, free from such intercourse with
them as would poison future generations
The lodge is gratifed also to learn
that legislation providing that care and
considera ton for dumb animals and
birds shall be taught hereafter in the
public schools of Alabama
Be it resolved. Therefore, by the Birm-
ingham lodge of the Theosophical So
ciety, that the Alabama legislature be
earnestly importuned to enact these hui
name measures and such others as may
be introduced, not merely for the benefit
of the peoples and creatures of this gen.
GRAFTON, but so that humanity through
all the future years may be lifted to
higher rungs: so that the world may be
made safer for all life to evolve. and
especially for that life which. unaided,
is unable to make its way towards larger
growth sand development.
Be ii resolved. that a copy of this APP
peal and resolution be forwarded to each
member. of the Alabama legislature now
in session and to the daily papers of
Montgomery and Birmingham. Respect

conapses. 1t is understood that the friends
of General Wood, made aware that the
doughboys will not support commanding
officer, are prepared to announce his re-
tirement from the list of "probables."
On the other hand, Miles C. Poindexter's
boom is in the ascendency. He is pre-
pared. it is understood, to take the place
of General Wood as the original and con-
sistent Roosevelt follower willing to run
for and accept the presidency
The statement of the Miles C. Pom
dexter for President" club is now in the
hands of the printers, and will soon be
given to the anxiously awaiting public.
The candidate will run as an american"
just as all other candidates have run.
r He will attempt to prove by his opposi-
ton to the league of nations that he is an
American to the quintessent degree, one
opposed TO entangling alliances, as Wash
ington was, and one determined that the
United States shall not, without special
grievance, fight the battles of the world
for other peoples
Lest some individuals continue unaware
OF the parsonage under, discussion, the
Congressional Directory proves that Poin-
dexter is a member of the Senate of the
limited States, and that his credentials
bear the seal of the state of Washington.
His conspicuous service, that on which he
hangs his aepe of the presidency, is not
a reduction in the cost of living, but a
consistent and chronic opposition to the
league of nations.
And he points with pride to the fact
that quite recently he was invited to
make an address in New York. Incident
ally, there are 80 tentative candidates for
4he presidency in the Senate. Few of
them take that fact very seriously, how

REPUBLICANS POUNCE
ON BENNING PURCHASE

Washington, July 23.-(SpeciaL The re-
publican investigating committee of the
House has found one thing of interest
even if it is not of Importance 1t con-
Germs the purchase by the government of
Camp Benning, Ga, for 5000, COO
During the last session of Congress an
act was passed forbidding officials of the
government to purchase additional prop
erty for military purposes. After that
act, Camp Benning was bought 1t is said
that most of the property comprising the
camp was acquired this year. 1t is also
claimed that the price paid was excess
sive by several million dollars
Respecting Camp Benning, the Senate
committee on military affairs voted. The
vote was tied, to I, and under the rules
of the Senate the motion to purchase was
lost But the camp was bought under
authority of the Secretary of War.
Mr.. Baker. a. witness before the COM
mittee. admitted that perhaps he should
not have given authority for the pur-
chase before positive action by the Con-
gress. He stated however, that the deal,
in his opinion, was one as the result of
which the government will prosper. He
refused to admit that he transcribed his
authority.
The interesting point according to all
members of Congress, irrespective of their
party affiliations, is found in the testi-
mony of Secretary of War Baker. He
declared that Senator Smith, despite the
vote of the committee. was able to i'm
press him with conviction that it was
the sense of the committee that the camp
be bought. The Georgia senator, Secre-
tary Baker testified, reminded him that
two members of the committe were alb
sent when the vote was taken. He de-
clared, and produced one letter to that
effect, that had these two men been
present the motion to purchase would
have carrier by a vote of to T. He
declared that one of the senators stated
he would have voted to buy had he been
present, and that the other had expressed
satisfaction that the transaction should
have been contaminated.
Senator Smith is not noticeably dis
tressed at what the republicans regard
as a distinct find in their probing pro-
cedure. He is understood TO be of Sec
rotary Bakers opinion that the govern
ment, in its own interest, should have
made the trade
Camp Benning is in Chattahootchie
county, near Columbus.
