SHEFFIELD AND
 WATER COMPANY
 BATTLE IN COURT
Rate of 40 Gents Is Sought. City Produces Contract. Telephone Company and
 Wetumpka Also Fight
Fly FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age Herald 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, March 5.-(Special.) )-The Sheffield company today urged the pub lie service commission to grant it per- mission to make an increase in the charges for water furnished consumers in Tuscumbia and. Sheffield.
 It contends Nthat this department of the company's activities has been losing vice president of the company submitted evidence in support Of the contention that the maximum rate should be 40 cents instead of 30 cents a thousand gallons, and that the minimum rate should be placed at cents instead of cents a thousand gallons.
 MT. Hatch was before the commission a greater part of the day in submitting evidence for the company. He contended that this department had been a con stant source of loss since prices began to soar and that there is no hope ot a reduction in the cost of operations in the coming months.
 Citizens of Tuscumbia and Sheffield came as witnesses and demurred to the petition on the ground that the company has contract with the two municipali- ties whereby the rate were never to go beyond maximum figure, which is now being charged. The commission over ruled the demurrer under the new law, which gives it the right to order changes in contract rates if it is shown that they are operating an injustice to the one side or the other. The citizens, including Mayor John E. Isbell and Walter +. Miller of Tuscumbia and Allen J. Roulhac and MT. Frye, member of the Sheffield commission, will submit testimony in sup pert of the contention that the company is seeking to earn money on book in- vestments which are not actually rep resented in it's investments in Sheffield.
 The commission also heard and took under advisement Tuesday the petition of the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- graph company for permission to discon- tinue the special service between We tumpka and Montgomery. Citizens oi Wetumpka opposed the petition, contend ing that the company for many years has permitted Wetumpka citizens to pay an extra rate each month and obtain free service with Montgomery
 The company contended that this serv- i ice has been abused and has brought on | it a needless cost of operation which would be corrected if regular toll rates were assessed for all conversations be- tween Wetumpka and Montgomery. The company also insisted that no other l towns, with the exception of Attalla ano Gadsden, get the benefit of a similar service.
 Twenty-Five business houses of We tumpka now pay the telephone company { an extra fee of s3.50 month and ge' 1 free connections with any person 1T Montgomery.

HAYS WON'T SHAKE
 PLUM TREE UNTIL
 PLANS INVENTED
Democratic Postmasters will Go, But May Be Permitted to Compete-Just Com
 pete With Republicans
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald
 500 Davidson Buildil

Washington, March 15.-(Specal)- That there will be no appointments in the postal service in the immediate fu- sources today.
 The decision of the postmaster general to such effect was most depressing news to republican national committeeman. thronging Washington in an effort to initiate the shaking of the plum tree.
 Will H. Hays, postmaster general, con cluded to make haste slowly, it is under stood, as a result of persuasion on the part of Representative Tess of Ohio, and other influential republican members of Congress. MT. Tess has mailed question naires to all other republican members of Congress and prominent republcai politicians, asking them to advise whether the merit system in selecting nominees should be displaced by the spells system The postmaster general was urged to await the compilation of the answer
 The belief is general in Washington that despite the anxiety of the republi- cans to oust all democratic officeholders and make it impossible for other dem ocrats to secure federal jobs, they will not dare to abandon entirely the cxecu- tive order of former President Wilson as result of which all first. second and third class postmasters went under clvll service The chances are that all dem ocratic postmasters Will be thrown out of office, but that they will be per mitted in many cases to compete with republicans in civil service examinations.
 It is understood that as result of the decision of the postmaster general today prospective republican pie dispensers in the several states will immediately wend their ways homeward
