APPELLATE COURT SHOULD MEET HERE U. s. Court of Appeals Should
 Sit in Birmingham BUSINESS CENTERS HERE Sixty Per Cent of the Litigation In This Circuit Has It's Origin In the
 Northern Part of This
 District.
BUSINESS 'CENTERS HERE

Charles H. Lednam, the clerk of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at New Orleans is in the city.
 Mr Lednam has been on a tour of the various districts in the circuit, making adjournments of the courts, necessitated by the change in the law which fixed the dates for certain converting days in De- tober instead of corresponding Mondays in September. as. according to previous assignments.
 A Very Heavy Docket.
 One of the heaviest dockets ever held in this district will be called when the court meets in Montgomery on the third Monday in October. MT. Lednam said:
 "The docket will be 40 per cent heavier than it was at this same time last year, and most of the business seems to have it's initiative in the northern part of the district"
 He further said: '1t may not be gen. orally known, but the state of Texas furnishes larger part of the business of the court in the Fifth circuit"
 Court Should Be Held Here.
 prominent lawyer who has a large federal practice and was present when MT. Lednam made the above statement. remarked
 Tt is a shame that the sessions of the United States Circuit court of appeals are not held in Birmingham instead of Montgomery, Almost all of the litigation that occupies the time of the court origi- mates in Northern Alabama and 60 per cent of the cases have their venire In the northern district. It would be gre ly to the benefit of the litigats and all rites concerned if the terms of the coul were held In Birmingham.
 Judge Pardee.
 And speaking of thls court" said the same attorney, T want to say that Judge Don A. Pardee, the presiding judge of the Fifth United States circuit, is the ranking circuit judge on the bench, he having been appointed from Louisiana more than twenty years ago by President Garfield. His appointment was one of the last important ones made by the Pres ident before his assassination

DAMAGE BY STORM
Heavy Wind Yesterday Afternoon
Did Considerable Amount
of Damage.
OFFICER sCHMID's NARROW ESCAPE
Serious Consequences to Growing
Crops Throughout the
Country.

Yesterday afternoons storm threat
ened to be, for a short period rath-
er disastrous one. The lowering COM
bined with a heavy wind to terrify
the timid, and out in the residence
section the wind attained sufficient We
locity to snap off branches, and i'll one
or two cases large tree trunks.
Both telephone and telegraphic com
panies experienced damages TO their
wires. The storm had the effect of
cooling the atmosphere for time.
and at l o'clock this morning another
heavy storm came up, the downfall of
rain being greater in the second case.
During the evening storm crossed
wires set an electric light pole at
Third avenue and Seventeenth street
afire. 1t blazed until the current was
shut off at the power house.
Narrow Escape.
Officer John Schmid was caught in
the storm on his way to the station
in the afternoon, and when at the cor
ner of Sixth avenue and Twenty
street a large cotton wood tree was
snapped off, falling directly across his
pathway, and so close that his helmet
was knocked off.
No serious damage otherwise was
done by the wind in town, but out in
the country the damage is more evil
dent. Oats are well headed and much
of the hay is being cut. heavy rain
at this time thus not being particu-
larly prOpitious for these crops. The
tangling mp of the standing grain by
the combined wind and rain will also
cause loss and great Inconvenience.
