After one days work among the mag
ufacturers of Birmingham Secretary
Joseph B. Babb of the Chamber of Com
merce was able to announce definitely
last night that the entire hall formerly
used for restaurant on the seventh
floor of the Chamber of Commerce build
ing will become an exhibit of the pro-
ducts of the Birmingham district.

time any southern city has attempted the

Major Smith Discusses That
$40 Hotel Charge
LETTERS TO THE GOVERNOR
Artillery Chief Says Sentence Was
Omitted From His Letter When
1t Was Given Out to
the Public.

Was the st4o.55 paid the Hotel cav
thon. Mobile, by Maj. Quinton smoth. for
the entertainment Of the staff OF the ar
tillery chief, legitimate expense in view
of the fact that the state had not fur
nished necessary tents?
State Examiner Fl. Y. Brooke thinks
not.
Major Smith thinks so.
Out of 1t all there promises to be de-
veloped very interesting controversy.
Major Smith has written the governor
that he feels that he is not In any man
ner personally accountable for the re-
funding of the s14O65, because 1t was
necessary, in his opinion, for him and
his STAFF to go to hotel when the state
had failed to provide tents.
Major Smith, In conversation with a
representative of The Age-Herald last
night, added this:
'The governor has written me that
the matter will be turned over to the
attorney general for an opinion. In case
The attorney general rules that I should
fund the state the money in question
I will ask for a military inquiry for the
purpose of finding out II in the minds OF
the chief officers of the state the expenses
was not a legitimate one"
Major Smith states, too. that his let
ter to Governor Conner. which was print
ed yesterday morning in The Age-Hes-
aid, did not appear in full.
zone paragraph was missing" stated
lie. when I addressed my letter to
the governor I retained carbon copy.
have compared that carbon copy with the
letter appearing this morning in The Age
Herald. The two are Identical with the
exception of the paragraph which IS
missing from the letter printed in The
Age-Herald. The omitted paragraph in
my opinion. has bearing on the case
1t is as follows: The adjutant general
promised to have the tents shipped TO
Mobile In time for the encampments
The fact that this promise was made is
important, I think
The little controversy is attracting a.
great deal OF attention throughout the
state, especially In military circles.

is CURTAILING
CHARITY PERMITS

Mayor O'Brien has curtailed the issu-
ance of charity permits for the purpose
Of peddling. running bootblack stands. and
doing other work on account of the fact
that heretofore SO many men have OBJ
Grated their business for nothing that
a handicap was worked on those who
annually pay for the privilege.
Las. year, for instance. charity per-
mits numbered practically 1000. This
year, however, those who ask for char
ity permits are referred to the license
collector.
Captain O'Brien believes that this is In
accordance with business policy, and is
varying from that course very little.

CORONER AGAIN
IN CONTROVERSY
BRASHER SAYS SoARD OF REEVE
NUE. Is CUTTING DOWN HIS
CLAIMS AND HAS DlsALLoWED
SEVERAL ENTIRELY.

The coroner is again having trouble
with his claims and in all probability the
old dispute will be again taken up for
another settlement. Coroner Brasher
stated yesterday that the Board OF Reve-
nue. had turned down seven of his claims
for cases investigated during December.
He added that he had heard nothing from
seven others and supposed that they, too.
had been disallowed.
The coroner states that he turned in 45
claims for Investigations made during
December. He declares that the action
of the Board of Revenue In disallowing
part OF his claims deprives him of be-
tween $50 and $50, to which he believes
he is entitled, and he states that he Will
take the matter up with his attorney
next Monday or Tuesday.
Coroner Brasher states that every month
when he has an unusual number of claims
he has trouble in securing the money.
! He Is authority for the statement that
he cannot keep people from dying and
he cannot keep them from getting killed.
He declares that the deaths must be In
vestieated and that he is entitled to his
pay for work done.
The coroner also called attention yes
terday to the fact that his claims are
being cut down. He states that he had
four cases in which the claims amounted
to between s14 and SIS. He states that
not one of these claims were allowed in
full and that part OF his witness fees
were taken off by the board. He states
that very often 1t is necessary to sum
mon Is and sometimes as many as 20
witnesses to get to the bottom OF case.
and he declares that invariably when
such cases arise the Board Of Revenue
disallows a portion of the witness fees.
The coroner declares that he will have
his attorney investigate the matter thor
oughly.
