BARSSHUTPROMPTLY
NO ATTEMPT MADE TO TEST THE
 LAW.
Rumors That Test Would Be Made Proved without Bnsis--Propri-
 etor YunE States His Position.

None of the saloons of Montgomery was kept open after g o'clock last night to test the validity of the early closing law. as it had been persistent ly rumored during the afternoon would be done. The rumor particularly af- fected two saloons. but when the hour of thirsty darkness came. both places. like others in the city. were closed.
 The strongest rumor affected the Sil- yer Dollar Saloon on Commerce Street. It was stated early in the evening that it's owners had been advised by their attorneys that they might safely keep the place open until midnight, but at o'clock the door was locked and there. was no more admittance allowed to hurrying but finally only prospect i've patrons.
 The vestibuIe, owned by Reese Mar tin. it was said, might be used for a test case, but it, too, was locked up at 9 sharp.
 It seemed to be the consensus last night that all the saloon men would await a decision of the courts, which is expected to be given not later than Friday. when there will be a decision rendered in the cases made in Mobile,
 Yung's Restaurant was kept open until midnight, but the bar was screen ed. MT. Yung contends that the same screens have been utilized to separate the bar from the restaurant on Sum days are sufficient to effect a compli- ance with the early closing law.
 MT. Yung denies that he has kept his bar open after g o'clock. To a re- porter for The Advertiser he submitted last night the following statement:
 The impression having gone forth that am contesting the o'clock bar room closing law, wish to say, em- phatically, that it is my intention and purpose to obey the strict letter of the law. As matter of fact. my bar has been closed at g o'clock. p. m., since January 1st. 1908.
 "Of course my restaurant will con- tinue to remain open between the hours of 5 a. m. and midnight, each day."

 local story yesterday carried the news of bank prosperity as showed in the payment of semi-annual dividends. The story failed to show, however. that the Exchange National Bank declared a semi-annual dividend of three per cent and the declaration of the same dividend by the Union Bank and Trust Company.

BIG YEAR FOR AUTO
 TRADE, SAYS (. E. INGALLS,
Montgomery Agent Home From Bis A Chicago show.

There is going to be a brisk busi- ness in automobiles this year." said C. F. Ingalls,, local agent for the Oldsmobile and the Rambler cars, yes- terday. Mir. Ingalls has recently re- turned from the Chicago and Detroit automobile shows.
 "At both shows" MT. Ingalls, stated, there were many applicants for agen- cies for the leading automobile manu- lecturers, and the little financial fur ry to the contrary, the trade Is going to be lively this year. Many manu- lecturers, seeing hard times ahead, cut their production from 25 to 50 per cent. and not few of the smaller houses went out of business altogether But the demand is going to be as great as ever.
 q believe there will be an under production.
 Just a glimpse at the two shows was enough to convince any one that the automobile business Is progressing as are few trades. The makers are con- stantly improving their cars in model, material and mechanism, and every where the auto is being more exten- sively utilized not only for pleasure, but for business. In the larger cities scores of trucks and heavy vans are being moved by their own power. and the number of cars employed merely for pleasure Is increasing marvellous Iy"
