Evins Says Davis Ruling On Party Jurisdiction Is En-
 tirely Correct

All necessary arrangements for hold ing the state primary set for March III will be made and carried out, R. B. Evins of Birmingham, chairman of the state democratic executive com mittee, said in statement issued Thursday. Mr. Evins added that the ruling of Attorney General Harwell G. Davis, that the primary set for March Il is within the party jurisdic- tion was correct. His statement fol- lows:
 "The opinion of the attorney gen eral, published in. the morning papers to the effect that the preferential pres idential vote called for March 1l--is wholly within the power and juris- diction- of the party authority is en- tirely correct, and the election set for that day will be heldI under the au- thOrity of the resolution adopted by the state democratic executive eommit- tee on December 13.
 If the act of 1923 is unconstitu- tional, this election is altogether a party matter, and will be held and conducted as, such as elections By the party were prior to 1915.
 The committee. authorized by the state democratic executive committee will ,nAke all necessary provision for the holding of the election, and the fair expression of the will of the party in this state" t

To Reach Federal Court Before March 20, Is Order

z Creditors of the E. R., L. & P. Go. must fife their claims in federal couft by March 20, Judge w. l.. Grubbs ruled Thursday on, petition presented by J. S. Pevear and Lee c. Bradley, CO., receivers. Z, ,r
 < This action indicates that it is planned to take the company out of the hands of receivers on or about that date. .s. ss
 The petition asking that definite date be set was filed on behalf of the American Cities company. This was regarded as significant, in view of persistent reports that New Workers formerly in control of this company were negotiating for the local utility.
 City officials, who for weeks have been trying to help the receivers un- tangle affairs of the company, ,particu- lar the Tidewater line, said Thursday the company's status was unchanged. Commissioner W. l.. Harrison said. he expected the company shortly to ap- peal to the state public service com mission for curtailment of Tidewater service. The city has flatly declined to agree to the proposed changes.
