AWRENCE WRITES
AN EXPLANATION
DIDN'T INTEND PHRASE LIQUOR
JUDGE" TO BE APPLIED TO
MEMBERS OF THE SUPREME
COURT.

The Rev. Brooks Lawrence, superin-
tendent of the Alabama Anti-Saloon
league, yesterday issued the following
letter to the afternoon papers of Birming-
ham:
Il had not expected to take notice OF
criticisms of a statement given out by
myself Immediately after the recent de-
cison of our Alabama supreme court
on the storage ordinance as they have
been of such a personal character as not
to call for any reply, but the intention
of my words has been so misconstrued
that [ feel | must make additional
statement in justice to the actual In
tent of my former utterance.
THE first three paragraphs of the
original statement contained the only
reference to the supreme court, and
should not be construed as harsh or
unknd criticism of that body. In these
paragraphs I stated that 1t looked to
me like there was an attmept on the
part of the court to invade the realm
of legislation. 1 am sure that this
statement would scarcely justify the
charge of a bitter or improper attack
upon the integrity of the court.
IT at once passed on to refere To the
liquor traffic and condition In few
counties in Alabama and every state
ment throughout the remainder of the
article referred to those counties and
conditions therein and not to the su-
preme court or its decision.
Tn view of the comment Of the past
,..Aa
liquor judge In the latter part of the
article was unfortunate. and no one
regret more than myself the misappli-
cation of my words, which were not de-
signed to apply to the members of our
supreme court
II esteem all the judges of that court
as honorable men and able jurists and
regret exceedingly the misconstructlon
put upon my words by some of the
friends of our work, these words
were not intended to have the meaning
imputed to them.
''I make this statement for the pur-
pose of conveying to the members OF
the supreme court the absence of any
intent on my part to cast any reflection
upon their action In the discharge Of
their duties, and to publicly disclaim
any such intent. Very truly,
BROOKS LAWRENCE"

NORTH BIRMINGHAM
KNOCKING AT DOOR
MAYOR FRIEL AUTHORIZED TO
APPOINT COMMITTEE TO AGREE
ON TERMS FOR ANNEXATION TO
BIRMINGHAM.

At the regular meeting of the North
Birmingham city council last night May
OF Friel was authorized to appoint a COM
mittee to meet with committee from
Birmingham and agree upon terms of
annexation of North Birmingham to Bir-
mingham.
This now puts the matter up to the
Birmingham council, and it will probably
be taken up at the meeting tonight.
That Mayor OBrien will be empowered
to appoint a committee is foregone
conclusion and the matter will then be
put up to the commission formed by
these two committees. Both Mayor
O'Brien and Mayor Friel will be mem
bers of the commission. Should the
commission agree on annexation terms
North Birmingham will probably be part
of Birmingham within few weeks.
Before such committee as the one
Mayor Friel was given authority to ap-
point can be named a petition must be
presented to the council of the town TO
be annexed by at least one-third of the
qualified voters residing there. The petit
ton in this instance contained the names
of over two-thirds of the voters.

NO ATTEMPT TO
LICENSE LOCKERS
COUNCIL COMMITTEE DECIDES 1T
WILL BE BETTER TO WAIT UN-
TIL AFTER THE EXTRA SESSION
OF THE LEGISLATURE.

A license will not be placed upon locke,
clubs at the present time, at least the re-
port of the miscellaneous committee of the
City Council tonight will be to this effect,
the aldermen composing the committee, OF
which r. d. Burnett Is chairman, having
doubts as to whether the license can be
legally levied
The miscellaneous committee met yes
terday afternoon and discussed this mat
ter with the above result. They took up
the resolution introduced at the last meet
ing providing for the levying of a $3.50
license upon agencies for soft drnfs other
than local manufa cturies, and also de-
cided to defer 1t until after the extra ses-
sion of the Legislature.
That the matter will be brought up In
some way before the council at It's regu-
lar meeting tonight is generally believed,
and when 1t does come up the discussion
VIII undoubtedly be spirited.

With continuation of the present dry

accomplish much in the way Of improving

Going to the scene OFFICER Fowler found
the negro in front yard of a residence
and proceeded to question him. The ne

WANTS GOVERNOR
TO RECOGNIZE FEES
CITIZEN HOPES IMPORTANT SUB
JECT WILL BE INCLUDED IN
CALL FOR EXTRA SESSION..
SAYS STATE is AROUSED.

THE governor has announced the
date on which the extraordinary session
of the Legislature is to be held" said
J. W. Emery yesterday, "and July 81
having been named as the day for tn g
assembly of the Legislature in Mont
gomery, the great matter of interest
now Is what subjects Governor Conner
will include in his call.
THE Importance of the matter of
abolishing the fee system is not to be
overlooked, and the governor should
weigh his call carefully before he
omits this subject. l do not believe
he has intimated in any way that he
would include the fee question in the
call, while on the other hand indica-
tions appear to be that he will omit the
important subject.
Alabama has been beridden by the
fee system far too long already. The
existing plan of paying the various
county officers, or rather the greater
majority of them, has become obnoxious
and there Is statewide sentiment
against the system. 1t is stated that
the larger offices have made men rich
during the course of a few years and
the people who have fallen into the
tolls of the system are bound to have
made fortunes for these officeholders
by being forced to pay the outrage
Gus fees made legal under the present
laws.
II am satisfied that the evils Of the
system have not been exaggerated.
have always been unalterably opposed
to the fee plan, and I find that an over
whelming majority of my friends en-
terrain the same feeling relative to the
question. The sentiment against the
fee arrangement has swept the state
and 1t is for this reason that l say
believe the governor should include
the matter in his call"

that the State Bar association sh ould
be empowered to nominate the supreme
court judges, 1t being pointed out that
they are in a better position than the
voters at large to select thoroughly
competent men to sit on the supreme

this to be impractical and the discus
