ent.
Mr.. Sheppard told Mr.. Austin. it is
stated, that he was the last man he had
expected to go on the stand and swear
as he did, and without word, 1t is
said, the Chief struck him over the head.
Chief Austin said that Mr.. Sheppard had
said some hard things about hir1 since
the case was tried and that he told Mr..
Sheppard yesterday afternoon that he was
surprised to hear of his remarks, as they
had been neighbors for a long time and
had though a great deal of each other.
Both men were placed under bond to
appear before Judge Feagin on charges
of assault and battery. Mr.. Sheppard
has two ugly cuts on the head and may
be confined to the house for several days.
Mr.. Sheppard said that Chief Austin had
confused two chimneys in his testimony.
Mr.. Austin explains that he took the
statement of woman who occupies one
of the houses and that since that time
he had learned that she was mistaken.

LIFE INSURANCE
MEN ORGANIZING
REPRESENTATIVES,. OF VARIOUS
COMPANIES FORM TEMPORARY
oRcANlzATloN-A PERMANENT
ASSOCIATION TO BE FORMED.

A number OF life insurance agents Of
Birmingham met at the office Of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance company in
the Title Guarantee building yesterday
afternoon, with view of organizing a
local association of life underwriters.
The meeting was informal. but it was
generally agreed that an association Of
this sort, such as exists In nearly every
large city, would be of decided benefit to
those interested in the life insurance bus
mess in Birmingham. There is a national
organization on life lines.
w. H. Stewart of the Metropolitan Life
was chosen temporary president of the
local organization and w. H. Lyons Of
the Equitable was made temporary secre-
tary, with instructions to call another
meeting at which time PER- anent asso-
citation will be formed.
Those present and the companies rep
resented yesterday were: C. B. Jen--
nings Fidelity Mutual Life; H. w. Leyens,
Equitable Life: H. Rich, Manhattan Life;
w. H. Stewart, Metropolitan life; G. H.
Estes, Mutual Life of New York; @. N.

CREDIT MEN HAVE
A BUSY MEETING
Discussed important Matters
Including Bankrupt Law
GETTING AFTER CREDITORS
Want 4 Law Passed to Prevent Mer-
chants Selling In Bulk Without
Notifying Their Cred
tors.

The Birmingham Credit Mems associa-
ton held meeting last night in the
Commercial club rooms at the request
of the National association. The local
body took up the matter of trying to
have the bankruptcy law repealed, and
also getting law passed preventing mer-
chants selling in bulk without giving
creditors due notice.
A score or more OF the members of the
association were present. and Captain
Frank s. White, the well known attor-
ney. made vigorous speech on the two
subjects which were up for consideration.
The association passed a resolution APP
pointing a committee to prosecute the
fraudulent debtors In the city. and as
this is a very practical matter strong
committee was appointed. The committee
was urged to take the matter up at once
and see that the debtors who seek to
avoid payment OF their. debts shall be
prosecuted.
A resolution was adopted by the ASSOC
citation calling on the representatives and
senators from Alabama to vote to repeal
the present bankruptcy law, on the
ground that 1t was detrimental to the best
inerests of the merchants and business
men of his state. A copy Of the resolu-
tior. will be sent TO every member of Con-
gress from Alabama.
The association will make an attempt
to get the legislature at Its next meeting
to adopt a law preventing a. merchant
from selling out his entire stock in bulk
to some one without due notice to the
creditors. In more than 20 states laws
have been passed which prevent man
selling his stock in bulk without giving
his creditors three days notice. In this
way the creditors are protected.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
people who are constantly making debts
and not paying them are guilty Of fraud.
and that they should be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law. The commit
tee on this matter will make 1t Its bust
ness to secure names of these creditors
and prosecute them
The election of OFFICERS of the associa-
ton does not take place until May. The
meeting last night was not the annual
meeting. After the meeting an Informal
banquet was spread in the club rooms,
and the members talked of the various
matters of interest to the association.

Italy to Spend Large Sum on the
Austrian Frontier.

Rome, March 16.-In view of the inter-
national situation which has prevailed
since Italy entered the triple alliance In
1852, she has entirely neglected her for
tifications on the eastern frontier, center
ing all her efforts on fortifying the west
ern frontiers, as Italys relations with
France were then so strained that under
Premier Crispi a conflict seemed immi-
nent. Since 1889. however. the most
friendly relations have been re-established
with France and the opinion now prevails
here that all the Italian frontiers should
be equally protected, for aggressive pur-
poses, but so that Italy may be ready
for all possible occurrences.
Consequently the proper authorities
have been studying the best method Of
insuring the safety of the peninsula along
the eastern Alps. which are strategicaly
Italy's weakest point, as Austrian terri
tory so projects into Italy as to enable
a hostile army to be in the heart of
lombard or Venetia after fey days
march. Therefore a bill will BE- presented
to parliament making the necessary ap-
preparation for the fertilization of the
Italian frontier in the direction of the
Alps, but any uneasiness on the subject
of Austria is not justified, Italy's object
being merely defensive.

purposes OF university.
The purposes-the functons-of great
university were said DR.. Penniman. three
in number. L. To conserve knowledge. 2.
To disseminate knowledge. 3. To impart
knowledge. High above all these func-
lions, however embracing them all and
without which all other functions could
avail nothing. was the supreme aim-"ab-
solute fidelity TO truth for truths sake
apart from personal opinion or personal
gain.' The true university should not
brook even the slightest abrdgement of
freedom to think freedom to speak and
freedom to print 1t was because the uni
versity had kept the torch of truth-of
MISUNDERSTANDING that the world had been
made free AMI kept free. At this point
t. speaker alluded to the great debt So
ciety throughout the world owed to the
university and the church. But for their
work the world would speedily lapse into
conditions that obtained in the dark ages.
Three other purposes of the modern uni
versity said the speaker, we're: !. To in
terpret the past. 2. TO measure the pres
ent. 8. To foretell the future.
Higher Education.
DIR. Penniman then spoke of the impor-
lance of higher education. Statistics
prove. said he, that as a general rule.
the boy who ceases studying when he
leaves the grammar school and goes to
work works for other persons and lives
In a rented house. The boy who continues
throughout the high school course en-
ploys other persons and owns the house
he lives in
The problem Of expense was a difficult
one in every university. Every growing
institution needs money, and needs it in
constantly increasing amount. When one
reads in the newspapers that this or that
university has received $1,000000 or $780,
600 one may think 1t a heavy endowment.
Statistics prove, however, that the stu
dents tuition fee in one of the great uni
versities is an exceedingly small fraction
OF the amount of money expended for
his instruction. 1t was a fact, and a
disgraceful fact that in many states in
the union more money per capita was
spent to care for the inmates of insane
asylums and jails than was spent for the
pupils in the schools and the students in
the colleges.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1905-03-17
UNIVERSITIES Ideals,

In conclusion, DIR. Penniman said that
the university bred man should have
ideals and should strive to keep faith
with his ideals. Universities worthy the
name should teach students that the law
of life is service and not the gratiflca-
ton Of selfish desire. They should teach
men to understand that the making of
living Is not to be despised. but that
the supreme thing is to know how to
lIve-worthily. The church and the uni
versity are today the two great instru-
mentalities for good in the world, said
