Musgrove Charges Manipulation Gn An,n.nnox.n snn..aA nis....

Musgr0ve Charges Manipulation
 Candidate Musgrove issued a signed statement before midnight Tuesday in- dicating that he was dissatisfied with the vote. especially at Mobile, and that frauds had been perpetrated in some counties. He said he would expose them immediately. He claimed to have carried Alabama. The statement fol- lows:
 Returns so far received show that IT have carried practically all of the white counties of the state. The vote in the Black Belt and few other counties, especially in Mobile, has been so manipulated that it is difficult for me to give definite statement tonight. Sufficient information is at hand to show that have cared the state. The frauds will be exposed immediately"
 Mobile city reported a handsome ma jority for Senator Underwood. The city complete gave Underworld S.201, Musgrove 355, Dinsmore SC.
 Primary Hard Fought
 The primary proved to be one of the hardest fought of recent years. Aligned with MT. Musgrove were a number of factions. Despite the fact that former Governor Braxton Bragg Conner, one of the most ardent prohibitiOnists in the south, made a special appeal in behalf of the senator, and in face of similar statement from Dr. W. F. Crumpton, veteran president of the Alabama Anti Saloon league, for Senator Underwood, many prohibitionists expressed their preference for the Jasper candidate, and possibly few voted for Mir. Dins-' more. The vote of Tuesday showed however, that the prohibitionists in tho primary were completely divided, and that Senator Underwood received q very considerable number of their votes.
 Another opposing faction entering into the race was the Ku Klux Klan membership, according to common re- port in circulation for several weeks. It was stated that the klan would ex- ert every effort to defeat the senator following Mir. Underwoods open state ment of hostility to the teachings of the organizat ton as made before audi ences in various cities throughout the nation.
 Opposition Among Women
 The Women's Christian Temperance union leaders and some of their mem- bership also opposed the senator in his ambition to become the standard bearer Of the democratic party for president of the United States.
 Still another element entering into the race, which persons close to the political situation in Alabama freely asserted would influence a considerable vote against Senator Underwood was the ordering of the preferential pri- mary by the Alabama legislature. This action was attacked as an effort to tie the hands of Alabamians in preventing free expression of their choice of man for the nations highest honor.
 Underwood leaders throughout the state issued early announcements claim ing an overwhelming victory for their candidate. It was explained that the

 FORMAL DETAILS
Tennessee Company's Plans VIII Cost Millions And Increase
 Pay Rolls
SHEET MILL FIRST IN
 BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT
Will Produce Plain And Corru- gated, Black And Galvanized
 Steel Products

Geoige Gordon Crawford, president of the Tennesse Coal, Iron & Railroad company, Tuesday gave to The Age Hersld details of extensive expansions and improvements to be started in the near future by the company at Fair field.
 A new open hearth with four fur naces and a new sheet mill to produce plain and corrugated black and gal vanized sheets will be constructed as soon as plans can be completed, he an- nounced. K
 Published statements that four blast furnaces would be built were repudiated by Mir. Crawford. He said also that reports fixing the amount of the im- prcvements were unofficial, inaccurate ard largely guess-work."
 Blast furnaces" he said, "afe used 1 in making pig iron. We are working on plans for an open hearth"
 An output of 46,000, tons of sheets and 22,500 tons of ingots a month in the new plants is contemplated, he hdded.
 Estimates Are "Guess-Worl"
 While the amount to be expended in these developments will reach high figures, Mir. Crawford said any attempt to estimate the definite amount would be .'guess-work pure and simple"
 "We will not know what the cost will be until we get the completed plans," he asserted.
 The total cost is certain to run into the millions, according to well-informed, industrial men, and the new develop noents will open up jobs for hundreds aud Hundreds of workers.
 The sheet mill will be the first .etp he established iii tho BifiniMkh9n dis tricf. Need for such a playit has been keenly felt for years. The miIi will turn out thin rolls of steel such aa are used for automobile bodies and sinii- iar purposes.
 1t was learned that company of ficinis have been planning the new de- reIopments for months. Close 9observ- CTS of industrial activities recalled that on January Judge E. Fl. Gary of the United States Steel corporation announced that approximately $60,- 000,0OO would be expended in expan- sions and improvements in 1924. Presi- dent Crawford's announcement was re- garded as part of this general pro- gram. and also was regarded as the forerunner of other developments that vii. mean much for the Birmingham district.
 New Raised Railway
 Only recently the Tennessee company completed construction of raised rail- way from its ore mines on Red noun tain to the Fairfield and Ensley plants. These improvements cost several mill lion dollars.
 Announcement of the new develop ments was received with qualification throughout the district. It will mean big Increase in output of the Tenn essee conipany, already the largest con- cern i.s the entire district, will cause heavy inerease in demand for labor and will bring Q great increase in spayrplls.3
 Alr. Crawford said the plans were being pushed rapidly and that actual construction work on the additions would begin at the earliest possible moment. s,->-s tg
