The Important office of attorney should be center of one of general the keenest races of the primaries. have It that the Reliable, assistant attorneys general settled upon Albert A.

Another likely candidate is Senator Coleman Shepherd of Jasper, outspoken independent in the state senate, and, like Carmichael, a World War veteran. Senator Emmett Hildreth of Euleader of the anti-tax bloc in taw, the senate, also has been mentioned prominently as a possible candidate for this post.

Goodwin, superintendent of the light and water plant today requested all owners of the electric timepieces to set their clocks correctly at 7 o'clock tonight and "leave them alone," while he regulates the flow of current at the plant so it will not put the clocks more than two minutes off the correct time, To get the correct time at 7 o'clock tonight, if the electric clocks are being depended upon, Goodwin advised all clock owners to call one of the telegraph companies. Several weeks ago electric clocks in the city were running from ten to 20 minutes behind, but during the past few days they have been running from ten to 20 minutes fast. Complaints have been received at the plant, where Goodwin explained the flow of current and the speed of the turbines controis the accuracy of electric clocks. It will be impossible to keep the timepieces at absolute accuracy without a master clock being installed at the plant but if every clock is set correctly at 7 o'clock tonight the speed of the turbines will be regulated so the time will not be wrong more than two minutes at any time during the day, Goodwin explained. SPECIAL ALABAMA SUPREME TRIBUNAL WILL SIT FRIDAY To Decide Whether $30,000 Cut In State's Central Pay Roll Will Stay In Force MONTGOMERY, Sept.

(AP) lawyers will sit here Friday as a special Alabama supreme court to decide whether a $300,000 slash made by the 1933 legislature on the state's central payroll shall remain in force, The reduction was levied by the Lapsley-Lusk Act and went Into effect on a majority of salaries in May. The remainder of the cuts, dependent upon passage of the Sparks amendment at the July 18 polls, go into effect this month on the salaries of state officials unless the court rules the act is invalid. Since the act called for a reduction from $7,500 to $5,000 In the salaries of the supreme court justices, they recused themselves when the law reached their court for a test of its constitutionality. Judge Claude Grayson of Mobile circuit court said it was invalid because, among other things, the title of the bill called for the reducton of the salaries of "certain officers" while the body of the act provided cuts for all officers of the state. Since the supreme court justices were disqualified, Gov.

B. M. Miller appointed a special court comof Henry Upson Sima of posed Birmingham: Schuyler Richardson of Huntsville; Ray Reshton of Samuel Johnston of Montgomery: Mobile: and Stanley C. Godbold of Camden. decision vitally affects all The state employes drawing more than monthly, for the drastic law $125 levied cuts on their salaries ranging from 10 to 55 per cent.

the law is upheld, these cuts If remain in force. If the special rules it is invalid, then the court of state employes and ofsalaries ficials will return to the April, level before the cuts went in1933, to effect, Should this latter decision be another question imhanded down, mediately arises. Are these ementitled to their full salarployes during the months the law has les been in effect? Many believe the back money should be forthcoming but point the nearness of September 30 to and the end of the fiscal year when all debts are wiped from the books by the Fletcher budget law. John Jason Haynes, assistant atgeneral, will defend the torney validity of the act before the speclal court while the attack will be directed by Thomas Stevens, Mobile attorney, and his associates. After the oral arguments have been completed, the court will hold a closed conference, reach a decision, and assign one of its members to write the decision that will be made public.

And the question heard in every office at the capitol these days is "I wonder how the court is going to bold?"

Blasting the safe of the Sinclair Oil Company refinery plant on Range street last night, elther with nitroglycerine or dynamite, burglars termed by investigating officers "the neatest here in years" escaped with approximately $400, over half of which was in checks.

Sheriff Joe Rollins who headed the investigation, and who arrested and aided in the conviction of four negroes who robbed the plant last December, said the burglars broke off the combination of the strongbox, packed the hole with either nitroglycerine or dynamite; then smeared soap over the explo sive and set off the charge, blowing open the door to the safe. Tumblers In the combination were knocked loose and soap scat: tered over the office by the force of the blast.
