 MT, Stovall also calls attention to the large increase in the number of diversified industries in Birmingham, saying:
 While primarily this is an ron and steel district. the influx of cap ital for the development of it's abun- dant resources has in later years so greatly altered this condition that it is rapidly becoming a center for diversified manufactures.
 "A recent survey by the Chamber Of Commerce shows 6S2 manufactur- ing establishments doing business in this district"

'KILBY DECLINES
 FURTHER COMMENT ON EXTRA SESSION
Makes Caustic Reference to Rumor Circutators-lnves- tigating Convict Camps
 in This District

Talk of an extra session of the
 Alabama legislature, as far as Gov
 Thomas E. Kilby is concerned, has
 died until some time in the future,
 if indeed it springs up again. Gov
 ernor Kilby stated as much last night at the Tutwiler hotel, where
 he spent the night while en route to Anniston. The governor is accom-
 panied by William A. Darden, his secretary, and w. F. Feagin, state
 warden general.
 When he was asked about rumors
 that an extra session would be called late In the fall, Governor Kilby made l caustic comment.
 People who circulate rumors should handle the things through" asserted the governor. T have said all abour an extra session l want to | say for the present.
 !, The governor declared it was un- | fortunate that the soldiers who were ! eisfranchised by the supreme court decision could not vote in the muni-
 cipal election -here this fail and that
 no one deplored this condition more than he. It was apparent that he feels the state of affairs keenly. He would not comment on possible postponement of the city election, declaring it problem for Birming- ham.
 Governor Kilby showed strong in terest in convict conditions in the Birmingham district. With MT.
 Darden and Mr Feagin. he had just come in from Fiat Top and Banner mines, where trip of inspection was made yesterday Aldrich and Bell Ellen mines were visited Wednesday. No comment was made by the gov ernor on conditions in the mines, where many convicts are employed. He stated he wished an opportunity to compare present conditions with those of earlier visits.

Sectional Prejudice, He Says, Is Preventing Acceptance of Ford's Offer to Develop Nitrate Industry

Criticizing the republican admin istration for its attitude toward the Muscle Shoals project and for its hesitancy in acting on the offer of Henry Ford to take over the govern ment plants at that place, former Governor Emmet O'Neal delivered an address yesterday before the luncheon meeting Of the Junior Chamber of Commerce at the Tut wiler hotel.
 "rhe fixation of nitrogen of the air is no longer the dream of the chemist, but an accomplished fact" Governor O'Neai said. ''The criticism of certain republican legislators that there is still sdoubt as to whether nitrogen can be successfully gotten from the air for fertilizer is made in face of the opinion of practically all the eminent scientists of the world,
 ..The defeat of the Muscle
 Shoals project thus far is not due
 to the fact that it's merits haven't
 been proven, but to the fact that : 1t is located in the south and
 bears the name of democratic
 president"
 Concerning the sources of nitrogen Governor ONeal said there are only four, the air, the Chilean planes, the by-products of coal tar, and certain nitrogen producing organisms. Only negligible amount may be gotten from the last two sources in com parison with the great amount need ed industrially and for fertilizers, he pointed out.
 British Control
 The supply of nitrogen in Chile is wholly under the control of Great Britain, and in case or war we would be shut off from it, Governor ONeat said.
 .'Just as the war ended the
 plants at Muscle Shoals had be-
 gun producing nitrogen, since
 then Congress has refused to ap-
 prOpriate the necessary $i0O0O-
 900 tO complete the project. in
 spite of the fact that the gov
 ernmcnt has already spent ESQ.,
 100000 at the shoals. Secretary
 Weeks said, however, that the
 administration would be willing
 to lease the plant to some indi-
 viduai or corporation who would
 complete and operate the plants.
 ''rhe whole nation was thrilled by the Ford offer. Weeks has held out that there will be otheI bidders, though as yet no other serious of- fers have been made. The offer made yesterday by Benton was one that any of us at this luncheon could have made. He seems to offer to operate the plant at the governments ex- pense, then agrees to divide the profits, if there are any. The offer of Ford Is genuine. It bears the
