UNDE ERWOOD QUICK TO BRAND BRYAN'S CHARGE AS FALSE
Says Bryan Has Been Per- Sonally Antagonlstic To
 Him For Many Years

Senator O. W. Underwood, who re- turned to Birmingham Thursday from Montgomery, issued a formal statement in reply to the charge made by William J. Bryan that Un- derwod was "wetter than Governor Smith of New York and was con trolled by Wall street." MT. Under wood says the Bryan charge is false and misleading and grows out of Bryans personal antagonism to Un- derwood over a period of many years. MT. UnderwCod's statement reads:
 "Attention has been called to the statement of -Mr. William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and Florida, in regard te the presidential nomina- ton. l am not surprised a the state ments made by MT. Bryan S he has been personally antagonistic to me for many years.
 More than 10 years ago he mis- represented and attacked me when l reported the tariff act of 1913, the last democratic tariff bill to the house of representatives, absolutely misrepresenting my position in re- gard to custom taxes.
 His statement today is equally false and misleading.
 T opposed the ratification of the eighteenth amendment at the time of its adoption because l believed that the question of temperance could be better worked out in the several states than by national Legislation. But ever since the ratification of the eighteenth amendment, both by my statements to my constituency in Alabama and by my position in Con- gross, 1 have always taken posi- tion to sustain and enforce the pro hibiticn amendment.
 Tn regard to Mir. Bryan's state ments connecting my name with Wall street, it is silly and untrue. 1 have no connection whatever with the busi- ness interests that are commonly re- ferred to as Wall street." The reck- less statements that MT. Bryan in- dulges .n whens he tries to stop a presidential nomination almost leads one to believe he is an aspirant him. Sa1f''

SAY CARRIERS CAREFUL
Traffic Association Reports Activ-
 ities For JmIy--37I Claims Paid

The B.rmingham Trattic associa- tion reports following data for the month of July: Rates quoted, 15,350; discovered. $2,S91; claims paid, 37l, representing S6,o9S.
 Collections on claims for damage and loss in transit are not as large as they were one and two years ago, say officials of the traffic assCcia- tion, due to the increased efficiency and carefulness of the railroads in handling freight and express pack ages and the cooperation of the shippers in packing, marking, etc.
 The traffic association also claims credit for much of the improvement through it's prompt presentation and collection on such claims for it's members.

Woman's complex life with its null titudinous calls is given as the reason for many nervous breakdown. Home work. social obligations dressmaking and the of children keep the goth century woman in whirlwind of activity until headaches develop, backache. nervousness and oftentimes serious ills which are peculiar to her sex alone. Such women should not despair. but be guided cy the letters often published in this paper from women who have been in just such conditions, but who have been re- stored to health by Lydia E.

BRYAN MAKES CHARGES

MIAMI, Fla, August 2.-Senator Oscar w. Underwood's availability as
 a candidate -or the democratic presi-
 dentiaI nomination will depend on the platform adopted by the democrats, William J. Bryan is quoted as sayins
 in an article published in the News
 Metropolis here today. MT. Bryan s signed statement said:
 "As Senator Underwood has formal ly announced his candidacy, 1 answer your inquiry His availability will
 depend entirely upon the platform
 adopted next year. If Wall street and the vets control the convention and
 write the platform they will doubt less regard Senator Underwood as the logical candidate. He is wetter than Governor Smith and has for longer time been the spokesman of that ele- ment. He also represents the Wall street point of view on public ques- | tions. But Wall street and the vets are not likely to control the next con- vention.
 There Is TO objection to a southern candidate and there are many prom | inent southern democrats who are in | sympathy with the sentiment of the
 democratic party. Why not select one | of these-for instance, Daniels of North Carolina; Conner of Alabama, or Neff of Texas? Every state can furnish an available progressive dem
 ocrat who can poll several million more votes than Senator Underw ood. He was not aVaila ble in 1912 and Is
 much less available now"

IRON MAKE ERS HERE
 HOLD TO S27 BASE
Cut In Price Would Bring Little More Business,
 Operators Say

Pending a more definite status of the iron market in competitive fields Birmingham makers continue to hold their production at $27 base and the little is currently sold brings that price.
 A leading operator said Thursday: We arc standing pat and will do so as long as we continue making and delivering the iron on our order books"
 Makers as rule agree that even though they cut the base to S25 that would bring very little business in a market where the buyers are few and far between. The s27 price appears to be considered as good a business getter at this time as $25 would be. Meanwhile production In the east mas declined and yard holdings there are decreasing.
 Inquiry is reported more brisk, but 1t IS admitted that sales are confined to car lots and 100 tons for prompt southern delivery. One exception was 10v tons of basic at SZ| TOT an Ohio mtlter.
 The same number of furnaces is active new as on July 1 and the largest makers said yesterday that present producing base was intended to be maintained.
 It is believed that yard stocks in- creased C,o00 tons and more during Jdiy ewing to hold up crders. Major portion nf these holc-up orders came from soil ripe producers. This Is the one industry admitted to be tagging afte-- splendid eight months run. The slowing down is regarded as sea- sonal ana distinct reyivel is not ex- pected for some time. Pressure pipe works. on the other hand. are at sa- pacity and overstocked and behind on deliveries of small and popular sizes
