Charges Made Against Directors
 of ttSs 'mer Bank
C0RNWELL A DEFENDANT I
A. O. Lane Asks That the Directors Be Held Accountable for the Failure of the Defunct
 Savings Bank.

Bessemer June 1. 1.(snecial.)-A. o. Lane, representing John c, Cox, a stoekholder In the defunct savings bank, has filed a petition in the Birmingham city court asking that the directors of the bank be held accountable for It's failure and that the courts issue orders in accordance herewith.
 The dfendants named in the petition are T. J. Cornwell, T. " Huey A. J. Randle, J. w. Rarden, W. J. Long and Sam Lefkovits. The petition states that MT. Cox was a depositor in the bank to the amount of s700 and that his deposit was drawing interest at the nate of per cent at the time of the failure. The petition also sets forth that the property of the late bank was sufficient to pay 25 per cent dividend to the depositors, but that no provision has ever been made whereby the stockholders will ever re- celve any of their money they had on deposit.
 MT Cox also makes some sensational charges, alleging that the president or the bank had absolute control or analrs and that the defendants were negligent in their duties as directors. He also charges that the insolvent condition of the institution was caused by neglect on the part of the directors.
 Stir In Beesemer.
 Last July when the Bessemer SaVlngs Bank closed it's doors 1t created quite stir in Bessemer. Captain Cornwell. the president of the bank, was one or lhe citys leading business men ana prom inent in all the affairs of the city After the closing of the doors Captain cornwell left at once for Central America. George H. Stevenson was appointed receiver of the bank and with the aid of attorneys went to work to get it's affairs in shape to pay off some of the indebtedness. In March matters were gotten in shape to pay off the first dividend, about 9 per cent.
 Tn the meantime Captain CornwelF s friends had not been idle. They made arr engagements for him to return to Besse- mer and face the charges against him. In February his bond was arranged and he returned to this city, where he has or ganlzed an insurance and real estate com pany of which he is secretary.

NEWT FISHER WILL
 DO SOME SLASHING
Nashville Manager Thinks Blrmna- ham and New Orleans Have
 Strongest Teams.

Nashville, June 1.-(Special-) Newt Fisher and the members of the Nashville team arrived here tonight from New Orleans. The record made on the trip away from home around the western cir cult has been far from satisfactory to the team as well as the fans. The ax will fall on the heads of three members of the team that have played regularly since the beginning of the season,
 Manager Fisher declines to say just who these men will be but it is whispered around that Rosson, the Dummy pitcher and the mighty Tacks Parrott will be among the decapitated ones. Pitcher Willis, whom Manager Fisher counted on so strongly has reported and will pitch Fridays game. Fisher is also after strong infielder whom he considers a star of the first water.
 Manager Fisher is of the opinion that Birmingham has the strongest team In the eastern division and New Orleans of the western division.

The Evolution Of The
 Ready-Made

We have lifted the stigma that formerly attached to ready-mades. Redeemed the term and the clothing from the Limbo of ridicule and derision, In the beginning every in- novation is tabooed. It must first survive the puns of the joke-smith and the laughter of the crowds before # gets fairly o1 the road to success. When old Jonas Hathaway walked the streets of London town with the first umbrella the populace jeered a n d queered him.
 Today we cheer him-and his name has a halo. |. Because of some hitch in the machinery Fulton's s steam boat on her trial trip stopped suddenly in the middle of the river. The people hooted from the banks of the Hudson said the boat was a failure and Fulton fool. But Full ton wasn't a fool and the boat WAS a success.
 Ten years ago MT. Brown laughed at ready-mades. The idea of buying clothes "out of a flock" was absurd and ridiculous.
 We said nothing just kept on hewing the mark-wolk' ing, working-and waiting.
 Today Mr. Brown is an ar dent advocate of the ready mades. He wears them, is proud of them and talks them to his friends.
 w h at a metamorphosisl But. dear sir, the change is not in MT. Brown-it Is In the clothing. When bright brains, dynamic energy and genuine genius are allied and put to work something must result.
 The evolution is marvellous.
 Commercial tail ori n g- which is nothing less than broad gauge custom tailoring --has made ready-made suits things of grace, style and ser yice-and 1t has vastly minimized the cost.
 Those of us who are not among the luckies in this world-who mus { devise ways and means-and who cannot indulge in clothes ex- travagance must yield to the argument of the Saks' ready mades.
 Style plus service, >minus outragscus prices.
 The clothes are ready for you.
