The Alabama river is naVigable

in contemplation until it is shown
there Is need for an additional eXpen-
diture. said Major J. J. Loving, divi-
sion river engineer. Thursday He
discussed the situation regarding the
Alabama river because of the gen
eral discussion in the state about
the Improvement of river transpor-
tation.
NO additional appropriation for
developing better conditions on the
Alabama river at Montgomery has
been made" said Major Loving. The
river is navigable now and when the
further use demonstrates need for
additional expenditure the means will
be available. according to Gen. II. H..
Tyler. assistant chief engineer of the
United States army, who has imme-
date charge of all river and harbor
work in the United States. General
Tyler made the statement during his
trip on the Alabama river May 10.
During only few weeks in the
summer the waters of the Alabama
river are too low for navigation be-

has been estimated that sum of
$4,000 woul be sufficient to make

vent the interruption of navigation

Application Of TuscaIoosan
For Rehearing Denied BY
Supreme Court
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU I
THE GE-HERALD
montgomery, Ala, June Ia

Legal channels were closed to A. IL.
Little OF Tuscaloosa in his effort to
obtain i share CT the large estate left
by his father, DR.. John Little, when
the supreme court overfuled his APP
plicatiuH for rehearing Thursday.
The estate, valued At $500 900, was
lett by DR.. Little TO Rev. John Little
of Louisville. Ky, and Robert Irving
Little of Tuscaloosa
The third son. X. II. Little filed a
contest. eontending that his father
was not mentally capable OF making
a viii when he attached his sigma
ture to the instrument and that un-
due influence was exerted on him by
the two beneticiaries and others. The
Tuscaloosa circuit court rendered
decision holding that DIR. Little was
not capable of making a will and
declaring it null and void. This
would have given r. II. Little d one
third interest in the estate.
The supreme court reversed the
decision OF the lower court, held the
Will to be valid and rendered de-
cision to that effect. Referring to
X. II. Little, the VIII stated that funds
had been advanced to him which
were as great, if not greater, than
his interest in the estate. In their
opposition to r. IL. Titles conten-
ton, the chief beneficiaries alleged
that he was not provided for further
because his father disapproVed of his
mode of living and of various acts
of his during the fathers life time.
