CAPITAL FEARS ID INVITE VETERANS;
 CITY TOO CROWDED
By WILLIAM L. GORMLEY

Montgomery, october 4-(Special )--Be- cause of the scarcity of homes in Mont gomery and the crowded condition of all hotels the year round it is doubtful if Montgomery will ask the Confederate vet erans of the United States to have their next reunion at the Home of the Con- federacy." The city has long desired to entertain the veterans, but has always feared the worst would happen and that visitors could not be cared for properly
 Never before in the history of the city has there been such scarcity of homes; few are being built, notwithstanding the face there is a great demand for them. Real estate men report long waiting lists it has become necessary for residents of the city to move to hotels, and bys doing this the travelling public oft times has been crowded out. The seriousness of the housing problem has been brought to the attention of the builders but little result thus far has come from those ap- peals for more homes.
 Records at the office of the building iu- spector saw an increase in the number of building permits. but the majority are for repairs to buildings that were neg lected during the war emergency. What

Every measure that the governor championed has been written into law, and for this record he has expressed the most sincere gratitude to the loyal senators and rep resentatives and to the people back home who supported them in the discharge of their duty to commit Alabama to a more progressive, forward looking policy of government than has been pursued in the past Here are the bills that were on the governors primary programme and that are now the law of Alabama

 WITH PEOPLE, SAYS
 ANN|STON EDITOR
Ayers Declares Budget Bill, Governors Pet Measure, Was Saved by So-CaIled
 '|Bevo Bill"
By JOHN B. FITZGERALD

Anniston, October 4.-(SpeciaL)-Capt. IL M. Ayers, publisher of the Anniston Star, who accompanied Gov. Thomas E. Kilby On his trip into the sixty-seven counties of the state during his cam paign, and who has acted as a confden- tial adviser to the governor since his in- auguration, has just returned from Mont gomery and gives out some hitherto un- published facts in regard to the legisla- ture just closed. He spent several days with the governor before he left the capi- tai for New York, and in his review of the legislative session he says Governor Kilby has kept the faith with the people with reference to every promise he made during the campaign.
 Captain Ayers says that the success of the Kilby administration has been due thus far to the budget bill that was en- acted at the January session, and just how this pet measure of the governor s was saved by the so-called "Bevo Bill constitutes one of the most amusing chapters of the legislatures history, prov ing at the same time the resourcefulness of the present chief executive.

Montgomery needs is not repair work, but more homes.
 Confederate veterans have expressed themselves as being anxious to hold their final reunion in the city where their cause first saw tho light of day; where their leader, Jefferson Davis took the oath of office as President of the Confederat te States, but Montgomery has shown no desire to have them come here-not be- causs Montgomery doesn't want the vet erans, but because she realizes she would be unable to entertain them and the thousands of visitors.
 Before Atlanta invited the veterans to meet there for their 1919 session Mont gomery could have secured the reunion, and there were reports the business men would make an effort to provide some means of taking care of them. But an in- ventory of the homes and hotels showed they would be unable to "even begin to entertain them"
 Reports at Confederate veteran head quarters in Montgomery indicate the re- union at Atlanta beginning october 2, will be we'll attended.

Airnlane on Merry-Go-Round

The fair grounds at Calgary. Can, was recently the scene of an unparalleled air plane accident. The fair had run 10 it's last day so the crowd was getting it's final taste of the traditional delights of the carnival side shows. The merry eyround groaned beneath a capacity crowd. Overhead flew an airrnan of the Canadian army. reputed to have downed 30 German planes. In the observers s cockpit of his plane he carried two boys, sons of a local official. One of the boys
 is said to have grown excited and pulled a control wire. At any rate. the plane swung down, headed for a fatal mash mn Luckily it never reached the ground, but encounted the top of the merry go-round the guy wires catching the landing wheels and holding them fast. The strange occurrence is illustrated in inc Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Focus With Full-Size Limage

Lack of any means for visual focusing is probably the greatest fault of the. pop uIar folding snapshot camery. A cam era arranged to supply the deficiency is now on the market, however, and gives full-size image on ground glass while the exposure is being made. as described and illustrated in the Popular Mechan- ics Magazine The focusing equipment consists of an auxiliary bellows which is inclosed, with the ground glass, in a sliding box attached to the camera; and an extra lens which folds in alongside the front board For use. the box is drawn out sidewise. bringing the bellows with it. The latter is then extended and jointed to the lens The two lenses focus together, so that a sharp picture is as sured. covering exactly the field the op- orator desires.

Almost every day propo- sitions of compromise were brought to the governor, but he was adamant, even to administration friends; and they always left Governor Kilby with new inspiration and imparted confi- dence in their ultimate success.

BELIEVES IN HIS CHILDREN"

"I have been OIten impressed dl Mone- gomery with the fact that the Kiloy who is governor is the same Kilby that was mayor of Anniston back in 1907-'H, said Mir Ayers. 'The old days were re- called one morning when representa- tive of a public service corporation was trying to get the governor to indorse the utilities bill, which would nave gwen the corporations right to abrogate con tracts made with cities. Among the contracts complained about was one Ior cheap gas in Anniston.
 "sWhy, that contract was made when I was mayor said the governor, ano since he believes in his official cnli- dren," it goes without saying that ms support was withheld.
 "Governor Kilby's interest in law en- forcement also reminds one of Kilby the mavor. His love of the law amounts almost to a passion. He cannot toler- ate disorder. and on the night or the lynchings in Montgomery he was so 1 cha erined that such outbreaks should occur in his state that he did not retire until after midnight The leglsiature has conferred upon him unusually oroad mowers for the protection of society; ana ,, it may he said of a verity that before he retires the moonshiners, blind tlgers' disIoyalists, mob leaders, and every other enemy of organized government will get his just deserts, for the attor- ney generals department IS workins hand in hand with the chief executive in this respect
 .sFew governors have been so fortu- nate as Kilby in theYr private secre- taries. Billy Darden is wonder. one of the biggest little men the governors office has ever accommodated. and hs is on the job every minute. The gov ernor is now in New York on a ouslness visit, and some interesting announce roerfs may be made on his return"

"BEyO. A MAGIC WORD

After the revenue bill was out of the way, the administration opponents began their attacks on appropriations, and on the budget bill itself Strong efforts were made to get the budget bill re- pealed. It stood in the way of log roll ing and gumshoe methods of appropriat- ing public funds. But it stood like a stone wall. Only once was the budget threatened. This came when the oppo- sition corralled some of the administra- ton forces and demanded million dol lars for the common schools. Following a caucus in wEi~,. 63 members took part, the house stood deadlocked, and Speaker Merritt was unable to make the machfn- cry move. committee was se. to the governor to notify him of the caucus and to present the demand. It was then that the ''Bevo Bill" was born.
 There were four members of the com mittee. and after had had made their speech the governor said:
 "Gentlemen, I know of no measure tc which l would rather attach my signa- ture than one appropriating Sl,0o0000 to the public schools of the state When l was a candidate, however, I said; Il would consider it as dishonest to sign an appropriation bill without the funds
 in sight to meet it, as l would to sign a check with no money in the bank. l propose to stand by that position.
 Furthermore, it is against the law to fn- crease a budget appropriation.
 There is one way. however, in which you might get the revenue you need AS you know, there is a beverage that Looks like beer. tastes like beer, and smells like beer, but which is not beer, that would bring in a large revenue if 1t were legal to sell the drink in Alabama. II you will admit that beverage and place a tax of 1 cent per bottle thereon, you can get all the money you want for the public schools
 sThat word beer was like a red flag in the face of prohibition legislature It immediately divided the prohibition ists from the anti prohibitions, and the liberal prohibitionists from the rabit prohibitionists. The caucus was dis rupted, and thereafter whenever anN strange appropriation bill was intro duced, or any other measure that sound ed suspicious the word was quickly | passed around That means Bevo. witt 1 the result that the administration pro l gramme went through with easy sail l ing.

Securities and Money
Stock Prices Fall
Under Heavy Sales
BY Professionals

Professional traders, whose oper-
ations supplied by far the largest
part of yesterdays speculative oper-
atlons in stocks, found it compara-
lively easy to force price recessions
and as result of their efforts in
this direction, combined with the abb
sence of support, the market closed
lower. Declines in many of the in
dustrial specialties ran from l to S
points.
Efforts made to attract specu-
lative following in certain special
ties in the forepart of the session
made poor progress and only served
to bring out fresh offerings of
stocks. Buying of stocks on the de-
cline apparently came mainly from
professional short traders, as there
were no indications of revival of
public interest in stocks, at least on
the constructive side.
The news affecting stock market
values was somewhat more hopeful.
the reports from, the centres Of la
Dor disturbances indicating less
hostile attitude on the part of labor.
Reports from London that the labor
unrest there was subsiding created
a better feeling. Action of the mar
ket suggested, however, that some
thing more definite in the way of
settlement of this pressing problem
is needed to restore confidence and
bring buyers back into the stock
market.
Money was plentiful. Offerings
exceeded the demands of the market.
and rates on call loans, after OPEN
ing at 5 and 51A per cent, eased off
to 21a and 4. This is, of course,
only d temporary condition, as the
increasing demands of the approach
ing fall period will shortly be felt by
the banks. 1t is one of the results
of the liquidation of stocks during
the past fortnight. The strong as
set position of many of the indus
trial companies was indicated yester
day by the action taken by the
American Locomotive directors in
increasing the dividend on the COM
pany's common stock.
The trading list in stocks on the
exchange yesterday comprised 261
different issues, compared with PAL
on Wednesday. Dealings approxi-
mated 100000 shares.

Pessimistic About Sterling

Expert opinion in London looks for
a further decline in sterling exchange.
"The reason exchange (dollar) is SO
DEAR" says the "Statist," "and is stead
lily becoming dearer is that there is so
little sent to New York, and Europe is
in such urgent need of purchasing food
and raw materials from the United
States. Unless very vigorous methods
are taken to give the trade of this
country a chance of recovering the
adverse exchange, particularly with
the United States, it will in the near
future become still more adverse. L
things remain as they are at present,
what is likely to be the position of
exchange when we have got as much
food and raw material as we are able
to obtain, say, some time next winter ?
Whatever we do it will be sufficiently
difficult to adjust the balance of trade
between Europe and the United States
The United States would probably try
to assist us if we showed any disposi-
tion to assist ourselves" 1t is assert
ed by the same authority that every
thing seems to- portend that the pros
perity of the United States VIII con-
tinue to grow as the autumn and the
winter lass.

In Wall Street
Investment Market Dull

In the bond market extreme still
ness prevails. The spontaneous de-
mand for investment securities is
weaker than it has been for three years
except during the Liberty Loan cam
paigns, according to bond dealers. The
main activity at present, it seems, is
pulmotored by the selling organiza-
tions of the distributing companies.
An improvement is expected next
month.
Each year when vacations end a
quickening Of interest in the invest
ment markets is experienced. Tho
present hesitation, observers Of the
market feel, is caused largely by the
dramatic expressions in the last fort
night of the Dissatisfaction of labor
over the high cost of living. The prev
alence of strikes and the threats of
more tie-ups, too, have chilled enthusi-
asm for the moment. With the abb
sorptivc power of the market extremely
small, new financing has been post
poned until brighter day comes.

Financial Needs of the Roads

New railroad financing in this coun-
try up to Thanksgiving Day. it is esti-
mated. will be between S75,OO0,0OO and
SlOO,OO0,O0O. Most of it viii be de-
signed to take care of maturing obliga-
tions Of not more than ten roads 1t is
unlikely that any of it will be under
taken before September, as the invest
ment market at present lacks absorptive
power. Most of this railroad financing
Will PROBABLY have to be completed be-
fore public offering OF national
equipment trust certificates is made.
Much progress is being made toward
the adoption of the plan drawn up by a
committee of bankers headed by Jerome
j. Hanauer, of Kuhn. Loeb q Co., but
bankers feel that technical market CON
ditions will prevent an offering OF Sc
curities of the equipment trust, pro-
vided it is formed, before October.
