ARE DIVERTING RDAD
J. S. Montgomery and
Other in Shades Valley
Protest Against Treat
ment of Road
CONVICTS TAKEN
FROM THEIR WORK
TO OPEN UP LAND
JTlr. Montgomery Asks Whole Board
of Revenue to Make a Trijj^)ut
There and See What is Being
Done
Some of the residents living on the
Columbiana road between Shades
mountain and Refuge are up in arms
about the new road that is being built
by the county convicts near that point.
It is contended that the new road
Is not necessary and one of the resi
dents, J. S. Montgomery, states that the
new road runs through undeveloped
country and aks the question why this
new road was built. He contends that
the present road is better and more
direct for the geenral public "except,
of courA the private interests that
may be served by the building of this
new run around road.”
He propounds several questions to
two members of the board of revenue,
but does not mention their names. He
claims that the neighborhood is much
disturbed and dissatisfied at the pres
ent action of tile board.
Mr. Montgomery’s Letter
Mr. Montgomery's letter follows:
"To tlie Editor of The Age-Herald.
"Will you kindly give space in your
colmuns to this letter, and publish lu
reply the answer if you can obtain the
information which I assure you will be
greatly appreciated liy a number of us
coutnry people living on the Colum
biana road between the top of Shades
mountain, and Refuge.
"I want to know If the board of
revenue, as a whole, is informing it
self of tlie true cohditions concerning
the road building by the convicts lo
cated at Camp Branch, on the Colum
biana road, or does tlie board accept
tlie report of only two of its mem
bers?
4 Is it by tlie full board's knowledge
and proper authorization as shown on
tlie records of the minutes of the board,
that the convicts have been diverted
from their work on the Columbiana
road, and put to building an entirely
new road that runs through undevel
oped country, or has not tills road been
started by only two members of the
board, acting alone in tlie matter and
without proper authority, and against
the interests of the Columbiana road
that is already built and needs re
pairing so badly, and against the in
terests of tlie people who live and
farm along this Columbiana road and
use it to have their purchases from Bir
mingham?
Promise Not Fulfilled
T.ast Monday a delegation appeared
before the board protesting against the
Columbiana road being diverted around
Refuge, and these two members prom
ised that the convicts would be taken the
next morning off this new road and put
back on the Columbiana -road, but this
lias not been done.
“The board of revenue has automobiles
now, and 1 hope the full board will come
out and investigate tills matter and give
nit; and some of my neighbors a chance to
Show them a few things.
“Of course the county has a road en
gineer, but be can only report on the sur
'evs he Is instructed to make.
"My neighbors and I do not intend to
sit still and without a protest allow tills
< olumhlana road to be changed so that
■we will have to drive our teams up the
had pavement oil the Twentieth street
road across Red mountain, thence up that
steep and crooked 6 per cent (7) roud up
Shades mountain e nc wland company's
and other holdings to get to our farms,
w hen the same amount of money or less
spent by the county on this old long es
tablished Columbiana road will not only
answer the purpose and preserve the
values already created, but will he better
oud more direct for the general public,
exeepl, of course, the private Interests
that may ho served by the building of this
new run-around road.
"I hope the two members of the board
that are responsible for this condition will
explain the reason for this new raod and
state if they did It by th eorder of the
board, as our settlement and neighbor
hood Is very much disturbed and dissat
isfied. J. S. MONTGOMERY.”

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT OF
MEDICAL SCHOOL MADE
I _
j "The first annual announcement of the
new graduate school of medicine of the
1 Diversity of Alabama has Just appeared
and will soon be mailed to all the doc
tors of the south," said Dr. ,T. S. Mc
I-ester yesterday afternoon. "There is no
doubt but what there Is genuine need
for such a postgraduate school of medi
cine In this part of the south and the
University of Alabama graduate school
of medicine will do a great deal toward
uplifting the standard of medical prac
tice throughout the south.
The curriculum Is so arranged that
It differs radically from that of the older
Institutions, such as those in Philadelphia
and New York, the curriculum of w'hich
Is often disconnected and follows no defi
nite, correlated plan. A student at the
local graduate school of medicine will be
required to take any one of many courses,
but in any course his work will form I
definite, sequential and complete whole.
The object of the curriculum is to keep
each student occupied in either dispen
sary or hospital work during the entire
school day. A definite and .serious work
S.L<Lqulred of the student all the time.
lhe president and the dean feel that
Inc school Is to he congratulated upon
having secured the services of Dr. .1. s |
Graham, formerly of Dartmouth as pro
fessor of pathology. Dr. Graham is looked
upon as one of the coming pathologists
of the coutnry. lie will give his entire
time to the department of pathology,
which the trustees expect to be one of
the most valuable departments of the
college. Liberal appropriations already
have been made for equipment and main
tenance.
“All interested in the graduate school
are looking forward to the campaign this
fall for funds to construct a suitable
dispensary. The dispensary conducted as
it is now. in a small rented building and
in treating such a great number of pat
ients, is greatly hampered and handi
capped. Tlie more one sees of dispensary
work, the more he is convinced that It is
one of the most deserving forms of char*
ity. It accomplishes as much if not more
than any other charity for the community
and i lie race. The hospital cares for the
individual when he is down and out, but
the dispensary treats his disease in Its ln
Cipiency, gives him the needed moral sup
port, enables him to continue work, in
most cases, as a member of society and
in tlie end prevents him from becoming
a charge for the stale.
“It has been suggested that the dis
pensary building be so constructed as to
be suitable not only for the free dispen
sary work, but also for certain other
e'.comospnary institutions, such as, for
instance, the free milk dispensary.’'
Cites Instances of Money
Paid to Congressman
for Fight Against
Legislation
—
Washington, August 23.-Martin H. j
Mulhall testified to the House lobby com- j
mittee today that Representative McDer
mott of Illinois told him he received $2000
from brewery interests during the 1912
campaign for something that was to lie
done In Washington.
Mulhall sworo that John A. McDermott
of Now York, a cousin of the representa
tive: a Mr. Fleming, a brewers' agent and
brother-tn-law of the congressman, and T.
H. McMiebael, one lime chief page of the
House, also told him about the $2000.
Representative McDermott told him his
cousin promised $3000.
Mulhall told the House committee Mc
Dermott's cousin said the $2000 was paid
to Representative McDermott for his part
in the Cannon rules fight of 1910 by tire
brewers' organization.
Loaned $500.00
Hugh F. Harvey of the Washington Re
tail Liquor Dealers' association told the
committee the association had loaned $50ti
to Representative McDermott last Sep
tember and never had been repaid.
Harvey said McDermott gave a 90 days'
note for the $300. The note was put in
hank. He knew of no serious effort to
collect it. although it had been running
how for, almost a year. Weathers of the
committee expressed surprises that Mc
Dermott should borrow money from
Washington liquor dealers when he might
have got It in ids home city. Harvey
agreed it did look strange now, although
he hadn't thought of it at that time. He
denied McDermott was asked to aid the
liquor men against the District of Colum
bia excise law when it was up last ses
sion. He sahl he knew of no other loans
to congressmen by his association.
"If Congressman McDermott has ever
done anything for us,” he said emphat
ically, "I don't know it.”
"Has Mr. McDermott ever expressed any
intention of paying the note?” he was
asked.
"I asked him today if he Intended to
pay it." said Ilarvey, "and lie said lie
did."

Predicted That Considera
tion of Measure Will Be
Completed Soon „
Washington, August 23.-The House 1
democratic caucus progressed so rapidly 1
today with the administration currency '
hill that when adjournment until Monday i
Was taken seventeen of the 51 pages hod i
been disposed of and there were predic- <
tions that three or four days more might '
prove sufficient to complete consideration j
of the bill. The banking and currency j
committee then will lose no time In re- <
porting the bill' to the House, where a I
week or fortnight of discuslson may fol- ’
low. *
The caucus voted down, after a hard
struggle, an amendment by Representa
tive Murray of Oklahoma to incerase :.he (
number of members of the federal reserve 1
board from seven to nine, the vote being x
47 to 100. A proposition of Representative *
Harrison of Mississippi to incerase the an- j
naul dividend of shareholders in the fed
eral reserve banks from 5 to G per cent £
also was rejected. t
Chairman Glass of the committee agreed *
that a suggestion in the Murray proposal 1
that not more than one member of the ]
federal reserve board be appointed from <
the same federal reserve district would be
covered in a committee amendment.
Representative Stanley of Kentucky ob
tain adoption of an amendment making
mandatory, instead of optional", that the
federal reserve board shall, "under rules
and regulations,” permit an applying
bank to become a stockholder in the. fed
eral reserve bank of its district.
An amendment by Representative Collier
of Mississippi was adopted to specifically
lequire that directors of federal reserve
banks chosen by the federal reserve board
shall be residents of the districts in which
the banks are located.
Better party harmony prevailed today.
Some who opposed the interlocking direc
torates amendment yesterday voiced in
the caucus today objections to being
c’t^sed as “insurgents."

HITICS IN STATE
ALMOST FORGOTTEN
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS
Perplexing Senatorial Prob
lem Has Kept Guberna
torial Race Quiet
- I
CANDIDATES APPEAR
NONE THE LESS ACTIVE
Henderson and Comer are Believed to
Occupy Center of Stage in Race.
Little Interest in Race for
Other Offices
Montgomery. August zC.—(Special.)—In
terest In state politics during the past
two weeks has been less pronounced than
elt any time since the present campaign
apened, owing to the very conspicuous
place which the senatorial situation has
jeeupied in the public mind.
This latter interest has been so keen
:hat there has scarcely been any other
question discussed. The gubernatorial
ace—which formerly occupied the prin
*ipal stage of inteiest—at once paled into
nsignificanee in the face of the per
plexing senatorial problem, and until that
question has been settled the campaign
'or governor will certainly not regain its
lold upon public attention.
How soon it will be determined wheth
er or not Representative Henry D. Clay
on will be given the vacant seat in the
Jenate. to which he was appointed by
he governor. Is a question that none will
enture to answer. That there is a grow
ng belief that he will ultimately be
eated cannot be denied, though whether
his problem will be solved in weeks or
nonths there is no way of telling.
Governor O’Neal has the firm conviction
hat the Senate w’ill confirm his appoint
nent of Mr. Clayton. For the first few
lays following the appointment he may
lave had some doubt—even though he
ras convinced that he had the constitu
ional right to fill the vacancy—but later
.dvices from Washington assumed a more
ncouraging aspect, and he left for the
governors' conference at Colorado Springs
nth the almost positive belief that Mr. i
Hay ton would be seated. . I
Action Required Courage
Governor O'Neal was con fro lttd with
perplexing problem when lie was
ailed upon the determine what action
e would take with regard 10 filling
he vacancy in the Senate. He knew
hat immediate action was necessary,
nd he was further cognizant of the
act that courage was needed.
When he left for Birmingham to
ttend Senator Johnston’s funeral, the
governor thought lie had two aiterna
ives—that of assembling the 'egisla
ure in speciaj session, or of ordering
special election. He preferred the
fttter method, deeming that tHe more
txpedUious. Blit after his conference
vith Senator Bankhead and other mem
>ens of Congress, who were in Birming
lani to attend Senator Johnston’s fu
leral, he became convinced that lie
lad the right and the power to fill
lie vacancy by appointment.
Hurrying to Montgomery the gover
nor immediately named Representative
Tenr.v 1). (’lavton for the place, deter
nining to put the question up to the
United States Senate. The principal op
position at that time to this action
came from two or three members of
he United States Senate, who had
probably not studied the question as
closely aa had the governor and his
legal advisers.
Will Return Home if Necessary
The governor is now on his way to
Colorado Springs to attend the confer- i
ence of governors from the various
states of the union. While absent he
will keep in close touch with the situa
tion in Washington, and if develop
ments shall ussuine such shape to de
mand his presence in Alabama lie will
immediately return. Should this be
necessary, he will probably be called
upon to take some action with ref^
erence to filling the vacancy, in w'hion
event lie will most likely order a spe
cial election. But the governor left
Alabama with tile growing conviction
that no further action on his pari would
be necessary ; that the question at Wash
ington would sooner or later adjust
itself, and that not only the state, but
the country at large would ultimately
be forced to see tlie wisdom of liis
course.
Candidates None the Less Active
Yet, notwithstanding the wide Interest
throughout the stae in he senatorial sit
throughout the state in the senatorial sit
ofUces are none the less active. The race
for governor continues, as does the cam
paign for the other offices.
Charles Henderson and former Gov. B.
R. Comer are believed to occupy the •cen
ter of the stage in the gubernatorial race.
Mr. Henderson is waging an aggressive
campaign over the entire state, and he is
thought to he gaining strength dally. Vis
itors at the capitol report that Mr. Hen
derson’s candidacy is being favorably re
ceived in all parts of Alabama, and ills;
friends claim that he will secure the nom-,
illation for governor.
Mr. Comer's meteoric plunge into the!
limelight several weeks ago at Attalla Is
believed to have lost most of its force,
though It is not thought to have soothed
his temper to any appreciable extent. He
is still traveling over the state making
speeches at this place and the other, at
tacking candidates, and endeavoring to
again force the railroad issue upon the
people.
While Mr. Comer is considered strong,
It is not believed that the former governor
has the strength he formerly possessed.
It Is pretty generally agreed that mans’’
af his recent utterances have cost him a
large number of votes, and, that his bit
ter campaign will do more to bring about
his defeat than any other cause.
Between Henderson and Comer
Notwithstanding the optimism of the
other candidates in the race for gover
nor, there are few people who do not con
cede the race to be between Mr. Hender
son and Mr. Comer. The Henderson fol
lowers admit that the former governor
will be their closest opponent, and the
Comer leaders make the same claim for
Mr. Henderson.
Expressions to this effect are heard on
ill sides. Moreover, it is generally agreed
that the race will ultimately narrow down
to these two candidates, although none
if the other candidates has in any way
intimated that he has any intention of
retiring from the campaign.
In fact, the other candidates claim t^ief
are in the race to the end; moreover, that
they will win. Captain Kolb’s optimism
ncreases daily, and lie is making the
T»o§t exaggerated claims. John IF. Wal
lace, Jr., seems nearly as confident as
Captain Kolb, though he does not make
Maim to as strong following as the es
teemed veteran of the Confederate army.
Mr. Seed is also waging a strong cam
paign, though reports received at the
rapitol do not Indicate that he has any
chance of winning the gubernatorial nomi
nation.
Little Interest in Other Officers
There is little interest being manifested
;n official circles In the race for the lesser
date offices, although the candidates are
busy sending out campaign literature,
and endeavoring so far as possible to co&x
the public to their side.
But at present the state is interested
n the senatorial situation to the exclu
rton of ail other political questions, and
nothing else can gain the undivided pub
lic attenton until that important matter
;ias been adjusted.

Weather Conditions
Birmingham, August 23. '7 p. m.)
ltgln occurred over the greater por
tion of tlie Atlantic slope and eastern
Gulf coast sections during the last 24
hours, but owing to the prevailing
high barometric pressure that has suc
ceeded to the interior of the country,
fair weather has been the rule over
nearly all other sections. The low
pressure center noted In the St. I,aw
rence valley this morning Is now mov
ing over to the north Atlantic ocean,
while the depression In the Gulf of
Mexico Is now confined to the eastern
Gulf coast.
The weather w-as a little copier In
advance of the region of high barome
ter on tlie northw-estern plains, but
over most of the southwest readings
ran high again today. In the middle
and eastern cotton sections readings
were moderate for the season, and Bir
mingham enjoyed a temperature ex
actly normal.
Hot weather prevailed over the west
ern plateau states today, and readings
there ran well up Into the nineties.
Modrate temperature* were reportd
from most of the lake and Ohio vallev

Indications are that a slight rise in
the temperature will occur In '..be Bir
