WILL RECOMMEND i EXPORT TERMINAL
Connor Much Impressed With Advantages of the Warrior
 River and Mobile Port

Mobile. September 26-( Special l)-Gen W. D. Connors, director of inland water ways of the United States war depart ment, after an inspection of Mobiles har- Dor facilities here Sunday, announced
 that coal terminal at the Port of Mo- bile is a justifiabie auxiliary to the War r1or river system, and that he would recomnaond the establishment of the ter minaL General Connors gave this as- surance to party of Mobile business men and members of the Mobile city commission and state harbor commits sion who accompanied him on his tour of inspection
 The statement of General Connors that he would recommend the coal terminal is or special interest to the entire state of Alabama and to Mississippi and Lousi-
 ana as well. It was also of interest be-
 cause it was the first expression of the new inland waterways chief with regard to the Mobile project General Connor made the trip to Mobile to acquaint himself with conditions and gather first hand information, with the result that he made his first public statement on the matter here today. His statement
 was as follows:
 T am convinced that an export coal terminal is justifiable auxiliary to the
 Warrior river system at the Port of Mo- bile, and I shall recommend that it be constructed, provided that Mobile shows it's faith in the project by furnishing the site on which to erect the coal rern,nr.s The Warrior river and the Port of Mo- bile possess advantages far in excess of my expectations, and it is gratifying to learn that inland waterway transporta- ton has developed to such an extent in Ala bama. It is not a question now - the development of inland waterway transportation, for it is already assured 7
 The government official was very much interested in the port aid amendment election in Alabama in November and stated that the time had come when all states must furnish adequate terminal facilities at their seaports if they ex- pected the aid of the government. Gen eral Connor was very much pleased with his entire visit over the waterways of Alabama and showed by the interest he displayed in what he saw at the Port of Mobile that he was agreeably surprised Port facilities, dockage facilities, depth of water and the harbor proved of great interest to General Connor, who ex- pressed himself throughout the inspec- tion here Sunday

 Try for Cup
 at Etan1pes

Etampes, France, September 25.-Sadi Lecointe's masterfu. handling of his Nieuport airplane in today's contests to decide which three French aviators will compete in the James Gordon Bennett international cup race next Tuesday caused all the American flyers who wit messed his performance to congratulate him, but they are still confident they will beat him.
 The opinion of the Americans, as ex- pressed today. is that the man who wins on Tuesday, if he defeats Lecointe, will know he has been in stiff race.
 Immediately after the conclusion of the French trials. Howard M Rinehart. the American flyer, who will pilot a Dayton. Wright machine. took the air and gave a splendid exhibition. apparently desiring to disprove rumors that his machine has difficulty in making turns. His time over the short course was about 165 miles an hour. He made perfect land ing.
 F. P. Rayham, the British flyer, gave his Martinsyde twenty-minute airing today. Harry c. Hawker. who was to fly Sopwith machine, has been def initey scratched.
 Captain H. w. Schroeder, the Amer ican aviator, tuned up his Verville- Packard. but did not leave the ground. French pilots standing nearby seemed greatly impressed by the roar of the motor. Lecointe exclaiming: 'Ill make sure not to be up at the same time as this fellow: he will use up all the air
 Lecointe is now an even money favor ite, with Captain Schroeder second choice.
 The Borel machine, piloted by Parault. gave the impression of much greater speed than the Spad. Barault, rounding the turn at Lamoragne, went very wide, losing several kilometers He had a miraculous escape from death when his machine turned over as he landed.
 While no records were broken today, Lecointe's time. 1H miles an hour, taking the turnk into consideration and the distance. is counted as remarkable.

SAYS CHARGE UNPROvEN
Investigation Fails to Disclose Evi.
 dence of Slush Fund, Says Miller
By Associated Press

New York, September 2S.-Clarence B. Miller, secretary of the republican national committee, In statement here tonight declared investigation by the Senate committee Investigating campaign funds has failed to disclose any evidence of $30,00Q 900 slush fund. a $150oo 900 slush fund or slush fund of any kind to be used for tho purpose of electing Senator Harding to the presidency of the United States"
 Mir. Miller arrived here tonight from Washington. where he attended the committee hearings. The statement was made public as his "conclusions as to the evidence"
 He declared "the charge of illegai campaign contributions rebounded in the direction of Governor Cox.,'
 The weeks investigation, he said, "also disclosed that Barney Baruch fas made an actual contribution of S97 300 to the democratics campaign and it's side show. the Wilson League of Nations. and that he has liability of an additional $21.000, making con cash to the campaign fund, t25.000 for the manufacture of the Uncle Sam of Freedom Ridge" film. $l2.500 for the circulation of the story in boiler plate matter. $7.000 to the Stars and Stripes and $47,00c to the propaganda for tho Wilson League of Nations. Evidence of these contributions came out from the testimony of half dozen witt resses. Thus it will take the maximum contributions from over 100 republi- cans to equal the plutocratic of one democratic
 All in all.'' said the statement. s"the week was a complete Waterloo for those who charged the republican par ty was trying to slush it's candidate into office. The testimony did mora than disprove the charges of Governor Cox. It showed that the cry of Stop theft" was an attempt to divert atten- tion from the activities being pursued by the political party which has the Ohio executive as its candidate"

ing, false reports or weights, or by any other device whatsoever charge, de- mand. collect or receive from any per son, firm or corporation, a greater or less compensation for any service rem dered or to be rendered by it or them for the transportation of property or for any service in connection herewith than that prescribed in the published tariffs or than he or it charges, de- mands. collects or receives from any other person, firm, company or cor poration for like service, shall be guilty of unjust discrimination and shall he liable to a penalty of not less than $100 nor more than $10,000 for each offense, which may be recovered by the state"
 Railroads opposed the section as originally written, contending that the commission should not have the power to prescribe any special and lower rates than those provided in the tariffs, while the judiciary committee sponsored the rewritten section which prohibits any special and lower rates. A large num- ber of industries now enjoy preferential rates, but the hardest hit, if the amend ed section is inserted. will be furnace operators, which have received low rates on coal, coke, iron ore and lime stone used in the manufacture of pig iron.
 Another fight will be made on Sec tion 12 of the transportation act which gives the commission the power to pre- scribe and amend milling in transit rates. These rates are provided now so raw commodities may be shipped to a given point, manufactured into other commodities and reshipped at the original rates. Transportation com panies contend that as this is a pref erence the commission should not have full power to require the establishment of such rates or to direct what the rates shall be.
 Another amendment of the committee gives the commission the right to ap point secretary at $2,400 a year, but may increase the salary with the ap- proval of the governor.

M0ULToN

Moulton, September 6.-(SpeciaL)- November has been set as the time for the opening of all rural schools in the county where teachers have been assigned by that time and the compul- sorry attendance law is to go into eff feet at the opening. The county is en- deatoring to qualify for further as- sistance from the state revolving fund. Of the four conditions necessary--the !evying of the three-mill county school tax, the one-mill school tax, the com Llying with state salary schedule and the employment of an elementary school supervisor-the first three have been met and the prospect for meeting the fourth requirement. is good at pres- ent. Unless aid is secured, not mere than five months can be promised the schools, but if secured it is hoped the schools may continue for six months. As rule, the districts are freely sup r1ementing the salaries of the teach CTS. Although forty-five more teach CTS are needed the outlook for supply ing the schools seems better now than two weeks ago, as many former teach CTS in the county are coming to the rescue and number from Tennessee are promised
 At the regular meeting of the Com munty Club at the Hatton school, of-
