 Senator Norris. chairman of the Senate committee on agriculture. in an interview with this correspondent tonight, explained. however that the chairman of the appropriations com mittee and the chairman of the mlli- tary committee, will not make ob- jections to the inclusion of such an ate for amendment.
 T have interviewed both chair men, said Senator Norris, and both are convinced, as l am. that to post pone the completion of the dam would be the direct and most mex cusable folly. There Is no question but that the Congress will authorize the expenditure of the necessary money.
 We will be considering the various offers for Muscle Shoals and its final disposition for some months, it is Indicated In the meanwhile, we will complete the dam. Such completion will represent net gaini and will have no effect whatsoever on any offer for Muscle Shoals that is pending

Beveridge defeated Senator Harry S, New for the re- publican nomination for United States senator at the November election.
 The democratic senatorial vote was more incomplete than that of the re- publican candidates but former Gov ernor Samuel NJ Ralston maintained his runaway pace and had 167.670 votes with 266 precincts missing. The nearest of his four opponents was Dr. Jesse A. Sanders. whose platform advocated beer and wine. Dr. sand CTS total was 27,71o.

Hostetter by a vote of 6,230 to 4,430 on returns from 1S6 of the 246 precincts.

'UPMANN BANK IN HAVANA IS CLOSED
Institution Needed at Least S2,00o,0O0 to Open
 Doors After Run

The New York Journal of Com merce of Tuesday received in Bir- mingham yesterday contains the fol- lowing cable dispatch:
 Havana, May All. Upman & Co.,, the German banking house, on Morcaderes street in this city. did not open its doors today. The pub lie understood that the bank did not open on account of the May holi- day.
 Tt was learned later, however. that during Saturday and Sunday a conference of the Havana bankers composing the Havana Clearing House was held with the idea of rendering assistance to the Upmann company. The conferences were pre- sided over by Narcisco Geiats, presi dent of the Havana Clearing House and were called at the request of the National City Bank. Mir. Up mann had not requested assistance but he was present at the confer ences and said he needed at least S2,000, 900 in order to open his doors today.
 "The bankers examined the situa tion thoroughly and found that it would be necessary for MT. Upmann to have enough to cover the total of the banks deposits which amount to s5500,000.
 American bankers have already advanced Mir Upman S3.5O00 900, but these advances are fully secured. MT. Upman declared at the confer ence that he had only S200.000 on hans, and that sS00,ooo in deposits were withdrawn Saturday.
 During the European war Up- man X Co was on the blacklist but the banks liquidated it's ac counts completely. It is eX- actly two years since Upmanns re- orened, the date of the reopening being May 1. 1920
 At the offices of the National City bank yesterday afternoon the above cable caused surprise in that officials of that institution were not aware that the National City bank had taken the initiative in calling for a conference on the situation of Upman & Co.
 Ut was emphatically stated that the National City bank was in no way involved in the financial posi- ton of Upman X Co. The ca bled advices asserting that the National City bank had requested the conference were explained on the ground that the banks position on the island made it logical for it to take the initiative, although the in- stitution's interest in the affair might only be general.

Sensational Charges Are
 Made Against Judge Curtis
Davis Claims Official Acted in Brothers Interest in Re moving Names From Winston County Jury Box.
 Ordered to Appear in Court

Judge J. J. Curtis order for the de- struction of the names of all per- sons now in the jury box and the re- filling of the box was issued follow ing the submission of petition for such an order, the petition being filed in the name of attorneys for Sim Alexander His order found that the jury commission had put the names of PIT citizens of Winston county in the box when 750 were qualified for jury service.
 'If there are not over PIT qualifi l jurors in this division of about 1000 men, then something is radically wrong and conditions would show it." said his opinion orderiy the re- filling of the box, according to the attorney generals petition. "The court prefers to rest it's judgment upon the fact that the jury commis- sion is radically wrong 4na seeks to keep the qualified man out instead of searching for the correct information by which he may be placed upon the roll. Doubtless the road overseer and the tax gatherer never overlooked him, though he may be poor and lived far back in the country This court cannot stand by and silently permit such conduct when it has 1t within it's power to stop it, and every avenue will be used until this corrected"
 lind No Authority
 Attorney General Davis insisted that Judge J. J. Curtis had no au- thority in law for issuance of such an order; that although he is the junior judge of the circuit, he did not receive an order from the presiding judge to consider the petition that no notice of the hearing was filed with the attorney general or repre- sentative of the state; that Judge Curtis was disqualified because his own brother, Judge John s. Curtis wal the real party in interest. all though the petition was submitted in the name of Sim Alexander, who has been indicted but has ot been ar rested.
 This was the second rule nisi di- rected to Judge J. J. Curtis in the past 24 hours. The court of appeals Wednesday issued one directing him to appear here Saturday and show why he should not be required to va cate an order dismissing from GUS tody c. R. Walker, editor of a Carbon Hill newspaper. who is accused or criminal libel in Montgomery county, Walker contended that he should be tried in Walker county. since he is a citizen of that county and his news paper is published in that county.
