KELLER BELIEVES
 SPECIAL SESSION
 DUE THIS SPRING
State Highway Engineer Says He Cannot Speak for Gov ernor, But Doubts State
 Losing Federal Aid

Belief that a session of the state legislature will be called for the purpose of resubmitting the good roads bond amendment to the voters of the state was expressed yester. day by W. s. Keller, state highway engineer, in an address before the executive committee of the Civic as- sociation.
 Governor Kilby has not yet inti- mated any definite date for calling the legislature into session, MT. Kel- Ter said, but he thought 1t will be
 MT. Keller traced briefly the his tory of the federal appropriations for roads. Of the original $75,0oo,0oo ap- propriation Alabama's share was s1,- large enough for matching this ap- propriation at that time. MT. Keller said the highway department allowed the counties of the state the oppor- tunity of securing as much of the fund as they were able to match, with the result that the richer coun- ties were able to build roads while the poorer counties could not.
 Adequate system
 T am convinced that an adequate system of roads can be built in Ala bama only through the cooperation of the state and national govern ments," Mir. Keller said, rthe federal government funds are now available. and Alabama must match them. We cannot have road systems worthy of the state by each county working in dividually for the poorer counties of the state have no funds, ald Of course cannot build roads. The re- suit of working separately in the past has been that the rich counties have good roads now but they are literally walled in by the poor roads of the neighboring counties.
 'Hrhe state cannot match the federal appropriations unless a bond issue is passed. We had planned to have the s2,,vo0,000, in bonds declared uncon- stitutional by the supreme court, to match the federal appropriations fos five years. No definite date has been set by the federal department yet as the' time after which Alabama will lose federal aid and the funds which would have been hers will be distrib- uted to the other states, but there has been talk of such a date being set.
 Amendment Will Carry
 T believe the state legislature will be called though of course l can not announce that it will be. As soon as the legislature has passed the bill we will begin another cam paign before the people for adopting the amendment, and l believe that it will carry again by the large ma 5orities 1t received the first time. We are planning to build roads in every section of the state that will hold up the traffic. and for that req son are now. taking a traffic census. In some sections it will be necessary to construct concrete roads. while in others other materials will hold the traffic."

 'I cannot believe a few idle fur mace stacks have had influence suf- ficient to create temperature differ ences. Operating or idle they cannot figure appreciably in the tempera- ture of this locality"
 With regard to his apparatus at the weather bureau, Mir, Horton sald; "I have the same apparatus and the same reliable checking system. There are the same thermometers and the same exposure. It has simply been a case of unusual conditions. whose influences I have not been able to solve but on which I believe it po-- sible that comparison with ttmpcra- ture of other cities In the same part of Alabama may throw some light"

 For one thing, 1t has been quite evident that Birmingham has not been as much affected as usual by incoming currents from other direc- tions. That much I know. There has been a remarkable heated sea- son. and 1t has produced its peculiar phenomena

 Abuse of Authority
 During the course of our delibera- tions we have been called upon to in- vestigate burglaries, said to have been committed in and around Leeds for which two Birmingham negroes, named Giddings, were arrested Tes- timony showed that these men were placed in the caliboose at Leeds, taken out one at time in the night time; that they were abused; that d brand new rope, with a hangman $ knot therein, was placed around their recks; that they were told that You will be turned oyer to a mob unless you tell the truth about the two burglaries that happened in St. Clair county and two in this county near Leeds;l protection cannot be fur nished you from the mob:' and that tiey bitterly denied having partici- pated in these burglaries until the rope was placed around their necks and thrown over the limb of a tree; and, through fear, abuse and threats administered, they were compelled to make an involuntary confession as to to the commission of these crimes. when, in fact, the burglaries for which they were arrested were com mitted at Brompton, in St. Clair county. on the night before these me- groes left their homes in Birming- ham.
 Poor Protection
 We have been unable to ascertain the names of parties guilty of this abuse and extorting from these men their involuntary confessions. It is +l. nf ha u- ing prisoners in charge, to see to it that they receive fair and just treat ment and it is his sworn duty to see that no abuse nor threats are made against the prisoners, and un- der no circumstances should he per- init sueh pressure to be brought to bear on a prisoner as to cause him to confess to a crime of which he was innocent
