 TALK AT BLOCTON
Bradley Requests Publication in View of Bittner'S De- niaI of the Accuracy
 } Yesterday

To the editor of The Age-Herald:
 Since Van Bittner has questioned the accuracy of the story which appeared in the Age-Herald this morning. l am enclosing a stenographic report of extracts of his speech made yesterday report is sworn to by MT. MacRae of the Birmingham Court Reporting com pany and it substantiates in every de- tail the report which I wrote from my notes.
 Rumors had been current in Bir- mingham for several days that Mir Bittner was makink speeches which were considered incendiary to men who had been on a strike. Inasmuch as the accuracy of these reports had been challenged by officials of the mirers' union. was requested by representatives of the Alabama Coal Operators association to attend the meeting at Blocton and to make an accurate report of what was said. An official court reporter was taken along so there might be no question of the authenticity of the report.
 In order that the readers of The Age-Herald may be convinced as to the correctness and accuracy of the report which 1 wrote, will you not publish these stenographic extracts from the speech made by MT. Van Bittner? LEON c. BRADLEY.

 UNDER DISCUSSION
Five Disappearing Bonds Mat. ter Is Settled By CommIs- sion-City Attorney Will
 Render an Opinion

Investigation of the appearance bond case before the city commission yesterday resolved the whole affair into an argument as to proper method of handling such bonds and of eX- tending executive clemency.
 At the close of the hearing Fred u, Moore, city attorney, was instructed to render written opinion to the con mission on the proper handling of the bonds.
 Adoption of resolution to this ef- feet followed examination of witnesses called in connection with the pond cases by the board. It was brought out that five violations of the Sunday law and one case of man charged with reckless driving were effected.
 Contrary to the orders of Commis- sioner Taylor, it was learned, bonds of persons arrested Sunday week ago, were held up by Capt. D. S. simmons The bonds were turned over to Captain Simmons by an officer Clyde Vaughn, after MT Taylor had directed Vaughn to drop the cases against the men who had been wash ling cars on Sunday.
 FIVE BONDS
 When the investigation began yes toSday, five bonds for violations of the Hunday law and one bond of physician obaxged with driving an automobile while in an intoxicated condition, were tHxued over to the commission by Capt D. c. Simmons, of the police de- ,Dartment. Commissioner Taylor made aa statement in which he said he had angkructed Vaughn to hold up or tear 70 bonds of men charged with wash antonohileS m Sunday
 The five bonds were made by Jerry Jackson, charged with fixing punc- ture; George w. Seger, charged with selling shoe; Roland Amerson charged with fixing puncture; Willie Harris, charged with washing an auto mobile, and Jesse Coffield, charged with washing an automobile The bond of the physician, Commissioner Taylor stated. he had agreed to hold Up last November. It was stated by both Mir. Taylor and Captain simmons that the physician was tried in recorders court on charge of reckless driving.
 HINTS DROPPED
 Hints that some members of the police department might possibly be on the pay roll of private interests were dropped when Dr. N. A. Barrett president of the commission, asked Truman Morrison and Hunter Wat kins, of the s1 Tire company, if they kre of any members of Birming- hams police department who were on any pay roll but the city's. Both de- nied knowledge of any such thing and said they had heard no such reports
 Testimony was given by Vaughn and Edwards. policemen, Capt. D. c. Sim mons. Commissioner Taylor and Messrs. Watkins and Morrison.
 -s<< l. | stand that the cases should have been allowed to go to the recorders court and should have been mol pressed there if it was so desired, or. if not, that executive clemency should then have heen extended.

Only five deputies will leave the serv- ices of Sheriff J. Chris Hartsfield to- day according to an announcement made yesterday
 This office will go on a budget sys- tenn of 5000, but upon a thorough in- Yestigation it was found that the office could be operated under this budget by only decreasing the force five men in stead of 10 as was at first suggested.

 Those who werea notified that their services will be retained are w. M Burge. Elgin Morris Woody Ssindefer R, E. Smith and one deputy at BesHemer Following ruling of the supreme court that every department of the county must be operated within it's income, the board of revenue passed resolution re- Gently placing the sheriffs department on budget system, effective April l.
 Tho board will allow the sheriff un- til July l. which is in tho nature of q probationary period. If the office can be kept within it's budget during this period the sheriff will be allowed 26 deputies but if it cannot another cut will be made and the force again cut, members of the board stated yesterday.

 H. G. SEIBELS
 This is a big old country, and a good old country, but it's too little for man like Van A. Bittner and too good for him if he made the statement which appeared in The Age-Herald of yesterday morning, and I've no reason to doubt but he did say every word of it," declared H. G. Seibels of the Jemison- -Seibels Insurance company, yesterday.
 ''I was home today suffering with sore throat and hardly spoke word all day. yet I am glad to say what I have about Van A. Bittner if it sends me back in bed with sore throat for a week. If he had to live in a tent instead of at the Tutwiler hotel he would have left this part of the country a long time ago.
 But instead he is still drawing down his big salary getting the best Of meals and trying to excite lot Of miners to violence. REV. MIDDLETON S. BARNWELI
 Wan Bittner should be run out or the state as a menace to the peace and safety of the people of Ala bama," said Dr. Middleton s. Barn. well. rector Church of the Advent. Surely there should be some means for bringing about his departure, forced if necessary
 This man is an agitator in every sense of the word. It is dangerous to allow him to continue to preach his poisonous doctrines within the con fines of the state. The threat which he has implied since his coming to Alabama was partly revealed in ms in infiammatory speech at Blocton Wednesday believe this only the beginning. He will not hesitate to so to extremes much more radical as the occasion arises, I feel confident"
