 DESPITE RUMORS
Will Begin Vigorous Cam paign in North Alabama
 Cities Next Week

Dr. John w. Abercrombe is in no sense an applicant for the place vacated by the death of Dr. Thomas M. Owen and would not accept it if elected.
 He is a candidate for one position and one position only, and that is United States senator. Furthermore, he expects to be nominated May il. pr. Abercrombie arrived in Birmingham yesterday from Anniston, and will spend the remainder of the week here. Next week he will begin his speechmaking campaign in the Ten nessee valley counties.
 Commenting upon recent reports which had been given circulation, Dr. Aber- crombie said last night:
 T am told that my name has been suggested in connection with the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Thomas Nj. Owen, though l have not seen the news paper report to that effect Permit me, through The Age-Herald, to say that such suggestion has been made without applicant for that position, do not desire it. and would not accept if elected.
 If I were a member of the board 1 should vote for Mrs. Thomas M. Owen, who is eminently qualified for the posi- ton. She would be a worthy successor of her illustrious husband, and I com mend her to the favorable consideration of the board.
 Tn this connection, permit me also to say that am candidate for one posi- tion, and one position only, namely, the democratic nomination for the senatorial vacancy caused by the death of Senator Bankhead; and that l expect to be nomi- mated on the eleventh day of May"

Domestic business is good but exporters report marked depres- sion" Reckless buying by the public continues and there is TO general low ering of prices, but there is an under current of uneasiness and uncertainty in commercial circles" Buying is al most entirely for immediate needs and not for future delivery.
 Atlanta-There has been no material change in the general economic sitna tion but sales show a large increase in value, although probably not in amount. While there has been some disposition to place fall orders, this is being discouraged bedause of belief that prices will decline. and this fact tends to produce some conservatism

ployed by the Erie railroad Engi- neers and port and terminal workers also will be affected, according to Maher.
 Maher declared the men are striking because the Erie railroad sold seven tugs and number of lighters to the Phoenix Transit Company. The union men believe, he said, that the transfer of this equipm ent to a private company was a subterfuge to break the eight hour day they now enjoy on railroad boats. Union men employed on pri- vately owned craft, he explained, are obliged to work ten hours a day.
 The strike on the Erie threatens further to complicate the already se- rious labor situation in the port. For the last twenty days the coastwise steamship lines have been virtually crippled by strike of about 1000 longshoremen and approximately LIDO deep sea longshoremen have been out for an equal length of time on the piers of the United Fruit Company
 An effort will be made in Washing ton tomorrow to end the coastWise strike when representatives of both factions will meet in the office of SecS retary of Labor Wilson

DELAWARE VOTE DELAYED

Dover, Del, March 31.-The Delaware
 house of representatives today failed to
 take a vote on the woman suffrage fed eral constitutional ame ldment. Plans had
 been made for a vote today, but when the house met the sponsor of the house
 resolution, Representative Hart, demo- crat, said certain things had happened since it was first decided to take vote
 and he was not ready to call it up.
 There was great confusion on the floor and among the spectators when it was realized that a vote would not be taken, and the anti-suffragst members demand ed that the resolution be called up at once. Hart however. refused to do so and left the chamber.
 The antis followed up Harts refusal 10 call up his resolution by introducing a similar one. It was presented by Repre- sentative Lloyd, republican. Without comment, Speaker Corbitt referred it to the committee on revised statutes, which yesterday reported the house resolution lon it's merits" by a vote of 4 to 3. Efforts to suspend the rules and force a vote on the resolution without the consent of it's sponsor were unsuccessful and the house proceeded with the consid- eration of other measures on the calen- dar.
 Despite republican caucus in which dramatic appeal was made by party lead CTS for ratification and the offer of Gov ernor Townsend to make a political sac- rihce if the resolution had been assured of passage today the situation tonight according 10 the legislative leaders, did not show any material change. It was re- ported about the state house that pri- vate poll of the members of the house showed that the suffrage resolution lacked three votes, and that it has a
 majority of one in the senate. Many or
 the members refuse to state publicly how
 they stand on the question prior to the
 taking of the vote The house has a membership of tbirty-fve, and the sen
