the request of members of the har- DOT commission, who represented various sections of Alabama, and at the request of prominent citizens. who insisted that the ratification O. the amendment and the resultant construction of port facilities which will furnish competition with other ports will mean a material reduction in the freight rates which Alabama shippers are required to pay because there is now no competition by water through the states seaport.
 No effort was made to reach any final conclusions regarding the cam paign. Further consideration will be given to the availability of various persons before chairman for the campaign committee is selected. Those present at the meeting de- clsred this is the time for the ratl- fication of the amendment in order that the state may receive the bene- fit of lower rates following water competition with railroad tr9nsporta tton.
 The conference was adjourned for a short time during the afternoon, when the conferees went in a body to the state highway commission netting.
 While the visitors were present the highway commission, by unanimous vote, adopted resolution urging the people of Alabama to take the next forward step by ratifying the state seaport amendment inI the general election.

Touch wood. Personally, I al- ways think maid -mer is more or less matter of courage. If you fight 1t. and refuse to be worsted, you win out Or just forget about it absolutely"
 Dolly wouldn't be convinced.
 He changed the subject. veering 1t skilfully round to Camille again.
 "oh, she's as strong as 8 noun tain pony" said her friend ungraci- ously. Then, in q more pleasant tone:
 She's a popular girl, I will say that for her. D'you know, when the ship sailed yesterday, her cabin was literally crammed with steamer pres ents and farewell gifts from her ad- mirers?"
 q quite believe it." said Elliot Glyn with such fervor that his hear CT turned and looked at him. Yes. without doubt, he was still in- fatuated with the grill
 Not only presents,' continued Dolly, innocently, and with one eye still on her companion, but love let- ters and flowers galore! Her cabin's like 8 hothouse, and--speaking of the latter-you ought to have read tho first of series of love letters that a poet sent her-one for every day of the voyagel Oh, Camille's a naughty grill"
 "She cant help being attractive" was Glyns comment to this con tribution.
 Dolly smiled with an attempt at generosity.
 "Oh most girls ara flirfs and Ga miles no exception. Rather worse than the average, perhaps. I often tell her so."
 She put out small white hand and tucked her steamer rug more securely in at the sides of her long deck chair. Her nails were as pink and rosy as summer sunset but to Glyn they seemed, for the moment. like tiny, pointed claws.
 I'm awfully fond of Camille" continued the little lady, who was cute enough to see light of criti- cism on the pan's undenably hand some face. She's a dear in lots of ways, but men have spoiled her rather. A girl with money often gets that way. I hope"-with sudden inspiration-'1 hope that she'll marry a poor man, for her tastes get more and more luxurious every day. Of course. if he wasn't proud, and let her help with the housekeeping. and that sort of thing, 1t would be easier for her. But the nice men wouldn't care to be dependent on a woman, would they? And so I often worry about, Camille's future, for so many of her men are rotters"

 Fertilizer Clause
 The most damaging part of Weeks testimony bore on the alleged skep ticisfn on the part of Ford as to his ability to make fertilizer at Muscle Shoals, and his refusal to guaran- tee that he would do so for a long number of years. The strength of the contract before Congress is due to the understanding of members that Ford with Muscle Shoals would confer an inestimable boon on the farmers of the country.
 MT. Ford during the day wired Chairman Kahn that he could not follow the secretary on the stand, and that he could not promise to appear either February g, 10 or II. He asked that his answers be re- oeived by wire, but the chairman n replied that would be unsatisfactory. No definite conclusion was reached before adjournment
 The committee did not name a date for hearing the contention of the Alabama Power company that it's contract with the government for the purchase of the steam plant at Cor gas was legally binding and could not be ignored.
 Thomas ". Martin, president, and K. A. Mitchell, vice president of the company, and ex-Congressman Dent, counsel, heard the testimony of the sercetary.

 POISONOUS GAS
Mine Inspector Reports to Governor KiIby on ExpIo- sion at Belle Ellen
 Mines
By FRED IT. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau. The Age-HerAtd 221-2 Firrt National Bank Building

Montgomery, February s.--(spe- cial--C. H. Nesbitt, chief state mine inspector, in a special report to Gov ernor Kllby today expressed the opinion that the explosion at Belle Ellen mine. which caused the death of nine conviets last week, was caused by the shooting of coal, which opened a hole through which gas rapidly accumulated and came into contact with fire from the miners open lamps.
 MT. Nesbitt completed thorough investigation of the explosion and announced his opinion that the gas was local in the room in which the explosion occurred. He also expressed the opinion that had fresh air been gotten to the convicts at once their lives probably would have been saved. Small burns were found on some. but all had evidently died from inhaling carbon monoxide.
 Burned About Face
 Five of tho victims were burned about the face and hands while four showed no signs of flame at all in- dicating that they died from suffoca- ton by after damp, carbon monox- ide," said MT Nesbitts report Ut is doubtful whether any of the vic- tins would have died if they could have been restored imme ediately to fresh air.
 "In thin seams such as this one gas explosions prove more fatal than in thicker seams, due to the fact that the thin seams have a smaller area and greater limit is required for ex- pansion, and also less room for those who are caught in the blast to-escape the flames. Local explosions are lia- ble to occur in gaseous mines where outbreaks occur svch as in this case"

 Some children who were playing near Dolly and Elliot grew rather noisy.
 wretches' ears, or clear them out of here" said Dolly peevishly. If the man wasn't going to be entertaining he should at least be useful. Q
 One of the ships officers, how ever, steered the little band to a more secluded and spacious quarter, at the far end of the deck, screened off by canvas. Dolly drew breath of sat isfaction.
 If Camille were here, she'd join them, and be as noisy as any of these children" she volunteered. But now she's found an outlet for her energy on this sports committee, don't sup pose l shall see much of her" This with resigned sigh.

Washington, February S.-(Spe- cial. .)-The testimony of John w Weeks, Secretary of War, regarding the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals, was of such character that opponents and advocates of the Detroit manu- faoturer's aspirations were able so find csNmbs of consolation.
 Representative Almon the Eighth district, wherein Muscle Shoals Is located, stated tonight Nlat the testimony was in the main re- hash of the secretary's written state ment, and that while he gave no straight indorsement, his answers were in the main favorable"
 On the other hand, Representa- sentative Oliver of the Sixth district reached conclusion that the secre- tary was at heart opposed to the Ford offer. MT. Oliver recalled that the secretary, in reply to a state- ment, declared that were he mem-
