JAIL BAKER
 NEW WORRY
 FOR COUNTY

Jefferson county bakers don't go to jail or if they do they lose their art soon thereafter.
 This ability to stay clear of the law has given rise to problem which the board of revenue has been asked to cope with. The county jail Is without a satisfactory baker, and that means that the convict camps, Hillman hospital and the other coun- ty institutions are not properly sup piled with bread, because they are all supplied by the jail bakery.
 Convicts working on the roads have registered emphatic complaints re- garding the quality, of bread they get. Some of them, especially the negroes, rebel at white bread and say they cannot do their best work wehout the old-fashioned "corn bread"
 A solution may be sought in the purchase of new bakery equipment for the jail.

There was a brief touch upon campaign expenditures oGtside the klan when John C.. Towns of Houston testified to helping raise from officials of the Humble Oil company, including himself, $2,50O. He said he cid not know that Senator Mayfield was cog nizant of the contributions and that they were entirely personal, not cor rorate.

WHEELER MAKES STRONG DENIAL
 OF IMPLICATIONS
Senator Takes Stand In Investigation Of MOn-
 tana Indictment

WASHINGTON, May g. Document ary evidence, relied upon by the depart ment of justice as the basis of the in dfctment returned by a Montana federal grand jury against Senator Burton K. Wheeler, democrat, was laid today be- fore the Senate committee investigating the circumstances ofsthe indictment
 Senator Wheeler, after hearing corr respondence alleged to have passed be- tween himself and Gordon Campbell, Montana oil promoter, read into the record, took the stand in his own be- half and entered vigorous denial to each of the implications drawn by the sS 70 Acres Offered Booth
 Aside from the letters and teIegrams in which Senator Wheeler was direct ly mentioned, the document which at tracted most attention was copy of a letter dated May 5, 1925, purporting to be from Gordon Campbell, in which the promoter offered former Solicitor E. s. Booth, of the interior depart ment, 40 acres of land out of one per- nit and suggested that an interest in that acreage could be assigned to F. M. Goodwin, assistant secretary of the de- partment, if the permit could be. grant ed. It developed that Mir. Booth had resigned as solicitor two days before the date of the letter, then entered the department of justice, but now is not with that department.
 If you arrange this with Mir. Good win," the letter proceeded, "as we talk ed of in your office. arrangements can be made to take care of this and Mir. Goodwin"
 Would Make You Money
 Referring to big offset well, (which had come in on the property" the let ter said Mir. Booth would see how ini- portant it is we get our hooks on this half section" adding that ''the 40 acres would make you and Mir. Goodwin more money than you otherwise would make in some. time.
 Booth, according 70 the copy of the letter submitted, responded on a letter on stationery of the department of the interior on May that "Mr. Goodwin is expected back in the course of n day or so" when he would present the Campbell permit matter to him.
 In statement issued at the interior department later in the day, Mir. Good win declared neither Mir. Campbell nor Mir. Booth at any time took up with me the matter of the approval of any oil permits in Montana in which Mir. Camp bell was interested" He added that the purported letter was called to my

METHODISTS VOTE TO ADMIT WOMEN
 TOPASTORA7ES P
5osephus Daniels App proves Northern Confer
 ence Action On Union

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 9.--- Eventually, why not now?' asked delegate at the Methodist Episcopal general conference today, in pleading for "equai sishtsn for women in. the ministry of the church. His question went unanswered, but the conference ended a two-day, debate by giving the women the right of ordination in local pastorates and denying them admission to annual conferences and the itiIerant ministry.
 As matters now stand women may preach in local pastorates as long as the voluntary contract between them and the congregation is kept in force. They may administer the sacraments, but they have no voice in the delibera- tions of their conferences. For four years women have had the right to oc- cupy local pastorates but without ordi. nation and its concurrent privileges.
 Approval of two of their recent acts came to the delegates over the teie- graph wires today. Jesephus Daniels, former. Secretary of the Navy, sent word that he hoped for cordial and prompt unification of the churches and that he found among southern church laymen an overwhelmingly majority" favoring the union. Nest of the min- isters, he said, were in flavor of the movement.
 The committee on the episoopacy voted today to grant the requests of Bishops Homer C. Stuntz of Omaha and William A. QuayIe. St. Louis, for retirement on account of illness. They were relieved from the obligation of travelling through the country at large and the responsibility for residential supervision.

Senate Committee Hears Story Of Secret Meet

WASHINGTON, May 9.-An at- tempt to show that the Ku Klux Klan dominated the Texas senatorial cleo tion of 1922 was begun today before Senate committee hearing the contest of George E. B. Teddy, republican, for the seat of Senator Mayfield, demo- crat, of Texas.
 A former congressman and former judge, self-declared participants in the kans enterprise-'up to a point''- laid bare incidents of secret conclayes where luminaries of the order, styled titans, dragons and cyclops, gathered around their present national wizard, Fl. W. Evans, and prepared the edicts. which the witnesses said, put Mayfield in the Senate.

NEW ASSOCIATION
 WILL MEET HERE
 IN FIRST SESSION
Tuberculosis Body Comes To Birmingham In
 September

Reorganization of the Southern Tuberculosis association and decision to hold it's first meeting in Birmingham were features of the business transacted at the morning session of the twentieth annual convention of the National Tu- berculosis association in session in At lanta Friday, according to information received by The Age-Herald.
 The formation of the southern asso- citation does not represent breach in the national organization, according to authentic information in Birmingham, but has been effected to coordinate bet ter the work of the several state as sociations in the south which find it difficult to send representatives to the meeting of the national body, most of which are held in the north. The south ern association existed many years ago, it was said, but had for some time been superseded by the various state organ izations. Lately, it is said, need has been felt for closer contact among these associations.
 The Alabama Tuberculosis associa- tion was represented at the Atlanta convention by Mrs. H. A. Pierce, Mrs. Sidney Hart and Rev. Y. Graham, sec retary. Rabbi Morris Eewfiefd was also selected as a representative but he found 1t impossible to attend. THe convention has been in session since Monday, and Friday was the conclud- ing day.

 Making his first appearance on the stand since the hearings opened, Sena- tor Wheeler denied specifically that his employment by Campbell had con templated anything other than his ap- pearance in Montana litigation. In none of the conferences which led to his retention by the Campbell group the senator asserted, had the subject of permits been touched upon. He reiter- ated this statement in answer to ques- tions by Chairman Borah, republican, Idaho, and Senators Sterling, repub. lican, South Dakota, and Swanson, democrat, Virginia, members of the committee. Senator Wheeler denied that he had any knowledge of per hit being issued to one 'sRhea" mention. ed repeatedly in the correspondence.
 Didn't you give some assurances that when you got to Washington you would straighten out these permit titles?" asked Senator Sterling.

SHIP FIRED UPON 1. BY MEXICANS,
 SKIPPER STATES
Complaint Laid Before State Department By
 Captain Hudgins

NORFOLK; Va, May 9.-An all legged attack on his vessel by a craft believed to have been a Mexican fed eral gunboat was reported by Capt. K. c. Hudgins, master of the Ameri- can steamship Gaston, upon his ar rival here today from Frontera, Mex ieo. Captain Hudgins declared his ship was driven from Mexican waters with out her clearance papers and before she could load a cargo of bananas for Nor folk which had been brought alongside in barges.
 Hudgins said. the Gaston was lying off Frontera last Sunday preparing to discharge a cargo of grain and load bananas when the attacking ship hove in sight and began firing. When the gunboat came close to the Gaston, Gap tain Hudgins said, she signalied the American craft to get out of Mexican waters immediately. :. ssThe gunboat bore down on us and ordered us out of Mexican waters. I protested, but got no satisfaction. l was told to leave at once. There were no American warships around, and, of course, there was nothing for me to do but sail. I was not even permitted to go ashore and get my papers. The only official document I had was fumiga- tion certificate showing the Gaston had complied with port health regulations"
 Captain Hudgihs said he has re- ported the incident to the state depart ment and has protested against the ap- narent laxity of the American govern ment and the American consul at From tera in not affording protection for ships flying the American flag,
