HOOPER SAYS THE
 CONTEST IS OPEN
Thinks Senator Will Take No Active Part in Coming
 Meeting

Floyd NJ. Hooper of Selma passed through Birmingham yesterday en route to Chicago.
 Mir. Hooper was chairman of the state campaign of Senator Underwood in 1920 and, while here he was natur- ally consulted ,.bout the approach ing selection of national democratic committeeman to succeed E. w Bar rett.
 Mir. Hooper said he felt confident that Senator Underwood would show no activity among members of the national committee in behalf of any particular candidate. Mir. Hooper IS in such intimate touch with Senator Underwood that his statement is ex- pected to set at rest the reports that the senator would actively aid any particular candidare.
 Walter Moore was a member of the first convention that nominated Un- derwood for Congress many years ago and has been a close friend ever
 since. F. T. Thompson. of Mobile. whose name has also been mentioned for committeeman, also is a supporter of Senator Underwood, and it is for these reasons it is felt the senator will exert no pressure as between two friends.
 MT. Moore's friends still maintain they have more than two thirds of the committee pledged to him. Chair man Webb has announced that the state committee will meet in Mont gomery the latter part of next week.

O1-Way VnrOugn helena ana TdrkWoe
 A letter from Engineer Keliar was read before the board of revenue in which he gave It as his opinion that the money required for the con struction of the proposed new route would be deducted from the fund coming to Jefferson county out of the. $25,ooO,OOo state bond issue and that other road work In the county would consequently suffer.
 Highway Money
 Advocates of the change in the route of the highway among whom are S. R. Batson, member of the state highway commission from Jefferson county, maintain that the sum required for the construction of the new road would be in addition to the pro rata share of highway money coming to Jefferson county.
 MT. Kellar does not think so in the following statement: T am of the opinion that in the event this change, as proposed. should be made that 1t would take precedence over any other road in%your county an1 that money spent thereon would be charged against Jefferson .countys quota l am unable to see how this coald be avoided" This has been the contt ntion of Capt.

FAILURE OF RECENT

City Commission Makes Spe- ciaI Appropriation Which Makes Unnecessary Cut
 in Police and Fire
 mems Salaries

Action of the city commission yes terday in the transfer to the depart ment of public safety of special ap- propriation for the account of the maintenance of that branch of the city government of the sum of S10,- GOO, obviates the necessity of 10 per cent decrease in salaries of em- ployes, as announced the preceding day by Commissioner W. B. Cloe.
 The special appropriation for the safety department comes from that portion of a sinking fund which it was anticipated would be used in the event of the success for the pro posed s7,0000. 060 school bonds which failed at the recent election. With the reduction of this special appro- priation there remains of this spe- ciaI fund $15, 900 which otherwise would not have been used before the end of the present fiscal year.
 Comm issioner Cloe Is happy over the action of the city commission and yesterday caused expression of as much joy from, members of the public safety department who were affected by his announcement of the day be- fore.
 In announcing the decision of the commission for the special appropria- ton and the statement that there would be no salary cuts, commis- sioner Cl6e issued the following statement:
 After conferring with many of the men in both the police and fire de- partments. I feel deeply gratified to them for the splendid spirit of CO., operation manifest in their willing ness to accept the reduction in sal a<y to enable the department to come within the budget. No more loyal men could be found anywhere. I am happy to report however. that the commission in conference with the comptroller this morning found some unexpected revenue available and has agreed to make a special ap- propriation of s10,000 to our de- partment which will relieve us of the necessity of carrying into effect the contemplated salary reduction.
 Again wish to convey to these men keenest and deepest appreciation for their willingness to cooperate with us in this matter"
 Action of the commission was in accord with the harmony that exists within the commission as a whole and was not brought about except in a spirit of cooperation with de- partment heads, as has been ex- pressed In some quarters by those not conversant or familiar with city hall affairs.

Hartsf1eld Is Nou
 Wearing q ,S3,OOO Smile

Sheriff J. C. Hartsfield was wear ing a $3,000 smile yesterday as re- suit of his first pay day in more than six months. His warrants were honored by M V. Henry county treasurer, following a favorable re- port by E, H. Cabaniss, attorney and the passage of resolution by the board of revenue at the regular meeting yesterday.
 The salary of Sheriff Hartsfield was held up on January of this year following a semi official ex- animation which revealed that the expenditures of his office exceeded the receipts by more than $32,00O. Judge Dan A. Greene of the circuit court held that by law the sheriff could not be paid until his office was placed on a paying basis. This de- cision was upheld by the supreme court.

 Proponents of the change. however, hold that the state highway commits sion can make a special rule apply ing to the proposed route If 1t so de- sires, especially in view of the fac. that the state has snever reimbursed the county for the construction Of the present highway over the noun tains.
 When the change was first pro- posed by Commissioner Batson, the board of revenue agreed to per petually maintain the present road provided construction of the valley route would not interfere with oth er projects in the county. If such is the case, the board will oppose the change it is believed.
 Engineer Kellar's letter was in reply to one written him by D. C.. Ball. chairman of the board of reve- nue. A smilar one was written So John E. Rogers, chairman of the state highway commission, He re- piled that he would be through Bir- mingham tomorrow and would dis cuss the matter with members of the board of revenue.
 The highway commission meets Monday in Montgomery and the whole matter will come up for dis cussion again.
