Band to Play In EnsIey

Shows concert band will play in Ems
Icy, opposite the city hall, tomorrow aft
ernoon. Mrs. r. r. Johnston, chairman
of the park concert committee Of the
Music Study club of Birmingham, said
yesterday:
I'VE have enough money left in our
open-air music fund to pay for one more
concert and it has been decided to give
that performance in Ensley. While most
of the concerts were given in Capitol
park, because of its central location, we
gave one at Corey and one at Avondale.
We are particularly glad to give the final
concert of the open-air season at Ems
ley because of the liberal contribution
which the Tennessee company made to the
fund But for a few large subscriptions
such as those made BY the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company, the
Tennessee company, and the Corey COM
pany, we would not have been able to
provide concerts three times a week dur
ing the summer.
1.-The music afforded great pleasure to
thousands of people and as the con-
certs proved so popular 1t should be easy
to raise enough money next year to give
concerts daily for II or IL weeks.

Bankhead's snake Story

John II. Bankhead, Jr.. who was in the
city yesterday, was piled with questions
about his experience with the snake-bite
which he received while hunting some
time ago. He told the state campaign
committee this story:
After the moccasin had bitten me, and
my leg was giving me terrible pain, we
walked a mile and a half until | was
nearly exhausted. and came to the home
of widow, where we asked for some
whisky.
She recognized the sheriff who was
with me and informed us that while she
had a bottle of whisky in her house, she
had read in the papers that P. G. Bow
man said it was against the law to give
anybody a drink OF liquor. even for
snake bite. She said she did not want to
break the law, and didn't expect to let
the sheriff haul her off to jail, for she had
heard that they arrested women as well
as men for giving away whisky. So
had to do without 1t, and 1t was long
way back to town"

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

FOR PLANS GANG AFT AGLEY."
1t oft befalls in life's hard race
We fail to win the goal
For which we strive through weary years,
With all our heart and soul
And, haply, though we've met defeat
And felt grief's bitter pang
Upon lifes bindly-foughten plain,
Where strokes. of conflict rang;
And though we've drained the proffered
cup.
Fen to the hateful dregs,
In scorn of seeking that reprieve
A craven spirit begs,
The spark still burns, justified yet,
My hating steps to urge
Along those slopes where names are
wrought,
Past ruins yawnlng verge.
And so | hold it does no harm
To sorrow now and then
And dream a dream In memory
OF what | might have been.

DATE FOR ARGUMENTS IN
PACIFIC MERGER CASE
Time and Place for Hearing Will BE
Set by Circuit Court mt May
Session.

WASHINGTON, April 25,-The hearing
of the arguments in the government case
for the dissolution of the merger of the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific rail-
roads will take place probably about Oc-
tober l. The selection of a definite date
and place will be made by the judges of
the Eighth circuit at st, Paul in May. An
nouncement to that effect was made at the
Department of Justice this morning.
c. A. Severance has represented the gov
ernment in the case, which is proceeding
to dissolve the merger of the Southern Pa
cific and Union Pacific railroads on the
ground that 1t was violation of the Sher-
man antitrust act.
The positive announcement of the de-
termination to fix time for the hearing
Of the case apparently disposes of reports
which have been reevaled frequently that
the government had decided to abandon the
proceedings against those two railroads
The expectation is that the arguments
will be heard at st. Paul.

believed to have graduated from Drake col
lege. There seems no doubt she was the
cause OF the destruction of the home Of
Jessie Quick near Prairie City, but she
still denies completely. The cause is said
to have been jealously and revenge, as she
was former sweetheart of DIR. Hall, who
had married Quick's daughter. The damage
