GRAND JURY WILL
 MEET MONDAY WEEK

The probable action of the grand jury at its adjourned session, to begin Monday week, in regard to the prohibition en- forcement question, is awaited with in- terest. The body expressed itself in a special report rendered last month to Criminal Judge W. E. Fort as being shocked at the alleged open violation of the prohibition laws, and declared that conditions were fast bordering on an archy. Considerable time was taken by the grand jury in discussions with Solici- tor Hefiin and Assistant Solicitor Aird, as
 It is the opinion in court circles that in- junction proceedings will have been insti- tuted against law violators before the meeting Of the grand jury in November. but should this not be the case it is be- lieved the grand jury will take stringent steps to secure observance of the statutes.
 All grand juries empanelled since the passage of the existing laws have had something to say about violations, but as that body has no power beyond find ing indictments against violators of the jaw, the injunction proceedings under discussion are believed to be inevitable.
 Either Solicitor Hefin, Circuit Solicitor John Mcqueen, or private citizen or cit izens may institute suit in chancery petitioning for an injunction against any or all blind tigers in the county as com mon nuisances.
 Solicitor Hefin yesterday had nothing to add to his statement that he would do his duty.

BISHOP M'COY BACK
 FROM NASHVILLE
SECURED INJUNCTION TO PREVENT SALE OF PART OF THE CAMPUS OF VANDERBILT TO THE PEA BODY INSTITUTE

After entering into a legal contest re- garding the sale Of some property by the Vanderbilt college, Bishop J. H. Mccoy returned to Birmingham yesterday.
 He and Bishop Denny were sent to Nashville by the Methodist College of Bishops for the purpose of asserting the rulings Of the general conference in re- gard to the election of some members of the board of trustees. Upon their arrival in Nashville the committee found sale Of some property about to be consum- mated by the Vanderbilt trustees and an injunction was quickly secured by Bishop Mccoy and Bishop Denny.
 While absent from Birmingham Bishop Mccoy also attended the semi-annual meeting of the bishops in New Orleans. He said Birmingham might possibly se- cure one of the meetings If the proper invitations were sent to them by local churches.
 Tn discussing the legal tangle over the land in Nashville Bishop Mccoy said:
 ''The general conference of the NJ. D. church, south maintains its right to elect members on the board and the Col lege of Bishops were to carry out this mandate. The board of trustees thinks 1t has a right to elect the members. So when sale of part of the campus to the Peabody institute was started we se- cured an injunction on the ground that three of the men on the board were il- legally elected. The case is still pending as we secured only a temporary injunc- ton. However, we believe that the bish ops will win when the case comes up fol final adjudication
 Bishop Mccoy said the action of the bishops in securing the court order was of special interest to the church. He said the meeting of the bishops in New Orleans was very successful from every point of view and a great deal of good was accomplished by their getting to- gether. Bishop Mccoy will be in Bir- mingham probably several days.

PURITY CONGRESS ENDS

New Orleans, October 2S.-New Orleans breathes more easily since the departure of the reformers who are travelling about the country in a palace car conducting special meetings of the American Purity congress. This city was bitterly ar- raigned by the visiting preachers of purity for its alleged immortality. but the pro- tests of her citizens were mild compared with the howl that went up when it was learned that the congress, at its con cluding session last night, had drafted resolutions in which an appeal was made to Congress to withhold its approval of the proposed Panama exposition here in 1915
 After a vigorous fight the petition to Congress was stricken out, but as finally adopted the resolution declared 'that in their present immoral conditions, both San Francisco and New Orleans are wholly unfit to entertain the Panama ex- position
 A campaign for cleaning the city of vice is already under way and the city authorities assert that the war being waged against cocaine dispensers and other vioators of the law will be vigor- ously prosecuted.
 The purity reformers will open meet ing at Memphis tonight.
 c. H. Ellis, president of the New Or leans board of trade. today indignantly declared that the Rev. J. Franklin Chase of Boston, who led In the denunciation of New Orleans as a wicked city, should have been invited to withdraw from the Progressive union hall, where the purity congress held it's sessions.
 .The pious gentleman certainly mani fested a great deal of audacity." said MT. Ellis, "in coming here as a guest of the city, in a measure. and then sweepingly condemning the city's morals, about which he probably knows noth- ing.''
 Mir. Ellis said the morals of New Or leans will compare favoraby with any city in the country.
 Philip Werlein president of the Pro- gressive union. said the purists 'misrep- resented the facts when they attempted to make it appear that New Orleans morally Is worse than other cosmopolitan cities. 'sfn New Orleans everything that is wicked is shown to the public, said MT. Werlein. and Is not hidden, as 1t is in other cities
