THREE LIKELY ID
 DIE AFTER CRASH
New York State Policemen Injured
 in Accident

Kingston. N. Y., Nov. S.-An auto mobile driven by John Halvey of Tan nersyille. with seven New York city policemen from the police camp near Palenville as passengers, went down a twenty-five foot embankment yester- day into a swamp near the Ashokan reservoir and it was more than an hour later when two doctors, an un- dertaker and his assistant crawled down the embankment and carried them back to the roadway in stretch CTS
 Three of the policemen, William O'Brien, Ransler Terms and Alexander Russell, were hurt seriously and may die. They are in the Kingston City and Benedictine hospitals. Royal Woodalton and Irving Brown also are in the hospital, but Halvey and John Cowley were to leave after their wounds had been dressed. One other was not hurt seriously enough to be sent to hospital.
 Halvey, who operates taxi service between Kingston and the police camp was bringing the seven men in to learn the result of the elections. They came down the hill from Leaycraft's Inn. but at the fork in the north and south bouleyards around the reservoir the car failed to make the turn and went over the embankment. Some one heard the men crying for help and telephoned to Mrs. William J. and John ]. OT.eary, who notified Leo V. Grogan. With Grogan and his assist ant. McAulifee, the physician hurried to the scene in Grogan's ambulance.
 Rain was falling when they got there and for some time they were not able to find the spot where the car went down. Finally their shouts were answered and then the two doctors, Grogan and McAulifee, dragging stretchers behind them, craTled down the slippery sides of the embankment, One by one they carried the injured men mp tho slope and put them into Grogan's ambulance. Then they were hurried to Kingston and tho hospitals.

NADOO SAID ID BE
 GETTING PREPARED
Reported Ready to Start Cam
 paisn for Nomination

Washington, Nov. S.---William c. McAdoo is all ready to make the ob- Nious declaration that he is candi- date for the democratic nomination !, for president. He spent another day Tn private conference with democratic leaders here yesterday and appears to have feathered his nest considerably. For example, it developed that Ken lucky, previously solid for Cox, has been lined up by the McAdoo scouts in deal arranged through James B. Brown, Louisville banker. who was the power behind William J. Fields in 2 Tuesdays recapture of the governor hip. There has been new deal in Kentucky, and the present party powers, personified publicly by Fields, definitely committed themselves to McAdoo as part of the program in- sisted upon by Brown and the guar dians of the war chest.
 McAdoo cyudes optimism in his conference with democratic scna- tors and is quoted as saying he will not be coy candidate" this time. Senator Glass of Virginia, who is ready to deliver that state to Me- ,doo. was one of those visited yes terday. He was not voiuble in reveal ing the details, but he declared Me- Adoo would be out in the open and actively campaigning within a very short time.
 Will Dodge the League.
 From others with whom McAdoo talked, it appeared that he is not going to run any more hazards than he has to over the League of Nations. and one senator reported McAdoo ps saying he would he neither for nor against the league-would avoid the issue altogether as long as possible
 McAdoo did not confine his visits 10 the democrats, but saw several republican senators from tho West, including Borah Of Idaho and Frazier of North Dakota. Wheeler of Mon iana and Dill of Washington were also visited. All these Westerners told McAdoo that he is strong in their territory and assured him he is considered progressive enough to satisfy tho rcvoters. who are up in arms against the conscr- Vatives.
 The former secretary Of tho treas nry talked chiefly about the trials Of the farmers, so the westerners re- ported, and indicated much of his campaign will hc aimed at demand ing agrarian relief. As for specified tions, they said McAdoo will urge re- dnction of freight rates on arricul- iural products.

SEEK SUSPENSION OF
 CLAY PRODUCTS RATES

Having obtained approval of such action on part of the clayworking industry of Birmingham and nearby districts, the Birmingham Traffic as- sociatin has filed a formal compliant with the interstate commerce com mission asking for suspension of the new rates on tile. brick, etc, pro- posed to be put into effect by the carriers August 15.
 Revision of rates on clay products was ordered some time ago by the commission. but it is claimed that carriers were to so arrange the re- vision as not to increase revenue. Under the rates charged in the pro- posed schedule is contended that rates have been increased 30 per cent, that such increase will cost the consumers of clay products :r this district alone about $60.000 a year more than they now pay and that southern carriers will earn s1.' 900, 900 more of revenue than under the old rates. For these reasons the association asks that the rates be suspended pending hearing on what the rates should be.

DAUPH|N ISLAND CO REORGAN|zEDH HERE
J. M. DeWberry Of Birming- ham In Charge Of Activi-
 ties In Alabama

Reorganization of the Dauphin Is land company has been completed and incorporation papers were filed in the probate office here this week The object of the corporation is to develop Dauphin Island properties for harbor purposes and a coaling sta tion.
 The president is George T. Bishop of Cleveland. Ohio. J. M. Dewberry of Birmingham, original developer of Dauphin Island, is vice president and in charge of Alabama activities. Frank H. Ginn of Cleveland. is sec retary, and M, L. Severance of Cleve- land, is treasurer. These and Forn- ey Johnston constitute the board of directors.
 The capital stock consists of s100,- 900 of common stoc--, $125,o00 of pre- ferred stock and s70,O00 of bonds.
 MT. Bishop is president of the elec- tric railroad operating between Bal timore and Annapolis and he and the other Cleveland parties represent many millions of capital.
 The Dauphin Island Land company is also holding company of the Dau- phin Island Railway and Harbor com pany. The latter owns the harbor front and short line railroad pro- jected to Dauphin Island from a con- nection with the Mobile and Ohio at Mobile. This road has already been built as far as Cedar Point.
 The company was organized in 1910 and completed a variety of improve ments in Dauphin Island and was financed and in position to go furth- CT ahead when the World war came on and caused an interruption. Un- der the reorganization just perfected the company is ready to make an- other start.
 Among other properties controlled by the company is $50 acres of land suitable for docks and wharves There is a natural harbor of 36 to 40 feet in depth easily made availa- ble by a small amount of dredging of some sand bars.
 MT. Dewberry said there were no immediate and precise plans, but that the original schedule of devel- opment was in mind. That, as here- tofore, includes a large deep harbor front and coaling stations reached both by rail and water.
 It is understood that important coal interests with lands on the War rior have an eye on a coaling sta tion at Dauphin Island and that there has been informal discussion of arrangement with the Dauphin Island company with reference to the same.

ALLGOODPICTURES OPENING OF COOSA
 FOR DEELOPMENT
Seventh District Congress- man Sees Gadsden District
 Greatly Expanding

Congressman Miles c. Allgood or the Seventh district spent Wednes- day in Birmingham. He is making an automobile tour of his district, getting in closer touch with his com stituents and conferring with them about national legislation in which they are interested.
 MT. Allgood is deeply interested in the development of navigation on the Coosa river because of it's effect on the greater utilization of mineral fields in the vicinity of Gadsden. Wednesday he said that the realiza- ton of unbroken navigation between Rome, Ga., and Mobile would see the development of a mineral industry about Gadsden that would be marked, for coal and iron ore are known to be there in great quantities and of high grades.
 Waterpower development on the Goose river and the installation of locks for navigation in particular are the subjects MT. Allgood is paying most attention to. He is making his tour in an automobile so he can have all the time he will need for his per sonal research.
 The new congressman, formerly commissioner of agriculture of Ala bama, is being called on to make ad- dresses in his district and has a somewhat lengthy list of engage ments to fill. He will be sworn in at the next session of Congress.
 For a number of years MT. All good was a resident of Birmingham, alter leaving his home in OneonIa, and owns a residence in Avondage He said Wednesday he wlsned he could take it to Washington with him. for on his visit to the Capital a few weeks ago he found rents so high he has decided to take lodgings this fall.
 MT Allgood was a member of the congressional party that visited the Panama canal last spring and is of the opinion that there is a great deal of Alabama export business that would be gratifyingly increased were the streams of the state made more navigable to take advantage of the markets to which the inter- oceanic canal is the door.

RAILROADS REPORT
 BUSINESS PICKING UP
Autumnal Prospect Appears Good,
 Says Frisco Freight Agent

Tide of business Is reported as up- ward since the turning point around last of June and July l. Railroad officials are among those reporting brisker business.
 Transportation on the Frisco sys- tenn has been picking up since last of June ana first of July" said Dan F. McDonough, division freight agent of the Frisco. My observation is that the improvement is in all direc- tions and of practically every com modity that we handle. The im- provement Is not yet pronounced, but 1t is fIlly up to the normal increase in business that occurs after the low point at turn of the year.
 Judging from what has already taken place and from the steady manner in which the improvement has been going on, the trend seems sound one and argues well for the immediate future. Indeed, the en- tire autumn prospect appears safe and sound to me-"

CITY HALL LEASES TO BE DISCUSSED; BIDS BEING MADE
Interest In Renting Building Accelerated By Talk Of
 Joint Plan

Several business men have notified the city commission that they would like to lease part or all of the city hall if Birmingham erects a new mu- nicipal building.
 Recent action by the board of rev enue in regard to a new site for the court house and the developing sem timent to have the city hall and court house under one roof, have ac- celerated interest in renting the old buildings.
 President D. E. McLendon of the city commission. announced two months ago that the present city hall Is erected, as the present city com mission has no idea of selling the property.
 At the time there were no plans for a new city hall, save in the mem ory that $250,000 had been voted by bond issue for a new city hall and public library. But the granted per- never been acted on and the belief has since been expressed that this sum is inadequate.
 President McLendon stated We'd nesday that there was nothing to say officially on the subject until some definite action has been taken in regard to a new city hall and as this VIII lnVOlVe ponu iSSuoI present of unknown dimensions, bids for renting the present building could be received and nothing more. The present building will automatic ally be for rent if new one is put up.
 AS several of the leases suggested cover a long period of years no of ficial answer could be made to the applicants until meeting of the commission is held on the regular meeting day and the subject discuss ed by the board.
 The names of several prominent business men of Birmingham were mentioned in connection with the leases, but the city officials had nothing of a business nature to an- an tho StIhiact
