to Spain Its necessary supplies of cot
ton and petroleum, the amount or tne
monthly export of these commodities
being fixed in the agreement at a
figure which will cover the genuine
Spanish requirements, but bar the pos
sibility of German agents in Spain se
cretly buying up stocks of cotton.
' "Spain is granted other supplies,"
said the board, "to the extent that they
can be spared after satisfying require
ments in the United States and pro
viding for the needs of the United
States' associates in the war."
Railway System to Benefit.
Special concessions have been made
in regard to locomotives and railway
material, which are required to in
crease the carrying capacity of the
Spanish railway system a measure of
decided importance to Am-rica and Its
associates, which are drawing supplies
from Spanish territory.
Whether the agreement covers the
broad question of Spanish shipping was
not disclosed. Before issuing licenses
for fuel coal for Spanish ships, the
board has been requiring an agreement
by the owners or charter parties to re
turn the vessels to the United States
for cargoes. This was done recently In
the cases of three ships at a gulf port
which were loaded with supplies for
the allies. The Spanish Consul re
fused to let the ships sail because he
wanted them to go to Spain after dis
charging, but his orders were with
drawn today after announcement of the
signing of the agreement with Spain.

County Commissioners Roscoe Gard and
P. Chitwood, of Jefferson County, elect
ed in 1916, may not have been legally
elected at that time, according: to an
opinion handed down by Attorney-Gen
eral Brown for District Attorney Boy-
Ian today, because no designation was
made on the ballot as to who should
run for a four-year term and who for
a two-year term. .
Because of the failure to determine
who was candidate for the short and
who for the long term, the Commission
ers now are uncertain as to whose term
expires this year and the Attorney
General Is asked how the question may
be settled.
The Attorney-General advises that
the law makes no provision for such a
situation and that the only manner he
knows of 'reaching a decision is for
the Commissioners to adjust the matter
some way themselves. While he Intl-i
mates that the Commissioners may not
have been elected legally because of
this failure, he says that nevertheless
they are de facto officers, and that any
agreement they might make themselves
regarding terms would probably be rec
ognized as valid.
