 sLater interrogated by Representative Hill of Alabama. Frazier admitted that the first thing he did on reaching Washington was to report to the Wash ington hotel where the Alabama Power company has headquarters. and that he visited the rooms of Thomas W.

 The directors of the Selma Chamber of Commerce, which the witness said had unanimously declared against the Ford offer, included in their number. the witness admitted, Mir. Melvin. who is a director of the Alabama Power company. MT. Hill. questioning the witness, asked if he did not know that the Alabama Power company had been selling stock on the installment plan throughout Alabama advertising to the extent of thousands and thousands of dollars, and endeavoring to affiliate with it prominent men in the various municipalities in order that a feeling of friendship might become engendered. The witness pleaded ignorance.
 The three Alabamians, however, de clared that sentiment had undergone a change in the state. Frazier and Fol mar attributed that alleged change to a deeper study on the part of the people. Ingalls, attributed it 10 the' fact that the business men had just awakened to the fact that Ford was seriously en- gagged in an effort to acquire Muscle cuOdiS. 1ue ODJecI oI the teSllmOny from the standpoint of the Alabama Power company was to give the commit tee an idea that Alabama was not over whelmingly in favor of Ford. as the committee has always believed.
 Committee Cnshaken
 The intention of the committee. how ever, to work out report with the Ford proposal as a basis has undergone no change, it is apparent tonight.
 During the hearing a telegram from Ford declining to testify before the committee on the ground that the only result would be additional delay, was read, and a telegram from Harry T. Hartwel of Mobile, one of the city com missioners, was made public in which it was declared that Mayor R. W. Taylor of Mobile, who testified in favor of the Alabama Power company offer, was not authorized to speak for the commission, and that Mayor Taylor, on a previous date when the commis- sion adopted a resolution urging the acceptance of the Ford offer, voted for that resolution.
 The committee will begin executive sessions tomorrow for the preparation of it's report.

SMITHVILLE, Oct. q (Speciall
The death at Smithvil3e Of D. E.
Phillips has caused wide spread re-
greet among his many friends. ana
among the tributes paid the deceas-
ed is the following from one who
taught him in the Sunday school
which he attended:
Just a few days ago we were
shocked and saddened by the total
Ly unexpected news that cur friend
D. E. Phillips, was dead. What a
loss to the Christians Of SmithvilIe
and community. Although we were
OF the same visible church, we were
members Of the same invisible
church and Christ's Kingdom.
eve were all members of the
same body and what touches ono
touches the other. We did not al.
ways agree on the same interpreted
ton of some passage Of Scripture
in many instances, but we did agree
on the fact that we are saved by
the blood of Christ.
We were not always together on
the ways and plans of accomplish
ing the same thing that is the sal
walton of the boys and girls of Smith
vile and surrounding country, but
who is to be the judge Of which was
right, he or Z? What two people
ever agree perfectly on any issue?
As a Sunday School and Chris
tain worker he was untiring and his
Church and Sunday School viii miss
him greatly. We thank God for his
life in Smithville He had his pc
culiararities, but who has not?.
we reverently bow in submission
to His will for however untimely
his death may seem ard however
unfinished his work may seem,
among us, God knows best. Ha
would not have been taken if his
work had not been finished.
eve commend his family to that
God who loved US as togive His only
Regotten Son to die for US, and to
that Spirit that He has promised;
"Mv Grace is sufficient for three. >"
eve know from personal eX-
neriences that His Shirt does com
fort and is q very pleasant help in
time Of trouble"
