 LEAGUES WORK

Montgomery, April 27.-(Special.) )-The flying squadron" of the Business Mens s league has nearly completed its task. The 5000 which this committee started out to raise about a week ago is practically all in hand, and in addition more than 100 new members have been added to the league.
 During the past few days the greatest enthusiasm has been manifested by the members of the league in strengthening that organization. The special committee called together by President Frank D. Kohn of the league has shown untring energy in completing the task set before them. Through the chairman of this com- mittee, Henry M Hobbie, who has labored most enthusiastically for the extension of the league, the flying squadron" has done most efficient service, and the at tention of the city has been turned to- ward the unselfsh labors of the members of the committee in their efforts to reviv- ify the interests of the league.
 In speaking of the campaign that has been conducted for the last few days, President Frank D. Kohn says: ''The sue cess of this campaign merely shows what can be accomplished in Montgomery when we have once made up our minds to do it. The croaker has got to take a back seat. We have got the brains and the money and the energy here to win, and we're going to do it."
 A significant point in regard tc the work of the committee is found in the fact that number of farmers of Mont gomery county have joined the league within the last few days. This is be- lieved to augure well for the future, and members of the league are pleased with the interest which the rural population of the county are taking in the work of the city's growing business, organization.
 Thursday was one of the busiest days of the present week. The committee had be- foreit number of applications for mem- bership in the league on the honor roll fund from a number of corporations and manufacturing managers.
 President Kohn will call the directors oi the league together early next week for the purpose of considering future policies Of that organization.

Montgomery, April 27.-(Special) )-Attor- ney General Robert C.. Brickell has ren- dered an opinion in which he holds that the Parks act became effective on April 6, last, the date on which the Smith regulation bill was approved by the gov ernor. The opinon of the attorney gen. eral was submitted to Secretary of State Cyrus B. Brown in answer to a letter from that official asking for information as to when the Parks bill and the Smith regulation bill became effective, and grew out of a similar question referred to the secretary of state by Judge J. P. Stiles. judge of Probate of Jefferson county.
 In answer to this inquiry, the attor- ney general held that the Parks bill be- came operative on the approval of the Smith bill on April 6, quoting in sub stantiation of this ruling, the 1Tth section of the Parks bill, providing that the pro visions of that bill shall become effec- tive when there has been provided by law regulations and restrictions for the conduct of dispensaries and for the op- eration of saloons.

SMITH GUARDS
 THE STATE FUNDS

Montgomery. April (special.) )-An- nouncement is made by State Auditor c. Brooks Smith that court proceedings alone will cause him to refund to foreign and domestic corporations license and privil- ege taxes which were exacted of such cor porations. under an old state law. The law in question has been vitiated by the supreme court of the United States, and an act was presented to the Legislature and passed providing for a refund of such monies. The bill did not meet with the approval of Gov. Emmet O'Neal, and as a consequence the auditor finds himself without the authority to part with the funds.
 Thousands of dollars are involved in the taxes, hence it is more than certain that legal proceedings will be instituted.

WILL INVESTIGATE

Tuscaloosa, April 21-(Special) The sophomore contest had been looked for ward to for some weeks and Monday night large and cultured audience, con- posed of Tuscaloosa people and many out-of-town visitors greeted the speakers, prepared to enjoy the unusual treat ar ranged by pr. Losey of the English de- partment. Shortly after the programme was begun an unusual ringing of an alarm clock interferred with the speak CTS.
 Following that the lights were, cut off and an overwhelming amount of poison- GUS gases permeated the air to such an extent that a rush was made for the doors and the speaking was unceremon.- ousy broken up, while several visitors were so affected by the deadly odors that physicians were resorted too.
 Tuscaloosa is accustomed to college boys pranks and enjoys a joke but the affair last night knows no equal and it is being probed to the bottom with a hope on the part of the authorities that the guilty parties will be discovered and dealt with most severely.
 The occurrence is greatly to be de- plored and severe criticisms are heard on all sides. The State university is the pride of Tuscaloosa and such conduct on the part of it's students will not be tolerated.
 The students of the university have undertaken to find out the parties guilty of the disorders Monday night and to mete out adequate punishment to them
 Last night the student body of the uni versity adopted set of resolutions drawn up by student, giving full power to the irter-class council to act for the students in dealing out justice. Of course, the final power is vested by the trustees of the university in the hands of the fac ulty, yet whatever the council may &C., complish is to he destroyed in as far as the faculty is concerned, if the faculty fails to concur in the recommendations of the representative body of students.
 The council meets today, and will be- gin at once an investigation of the af- fair, and the faculty has been assured that the better element of the students are eager for justice to be meted out.

PREACHER SETS
 CU[LMAN AGOG Mayor Answers Charges and Demands Proof CALL MASS MEETING Law and Order League Will Be Formed Tonight to Take
 Steps Toward Law
 Enforcement
CALL MASS MEETING

Cullman, April 27.-(Special)-Th con | troversy between the city authorities of Cullman and the Rev. M. L. Harris, pas tor of the First Baptist church, arising out of a sermon delivered last Sunday morning in which the preacher flayed the authorities, and especially the police force, for neglect of duty in the enforce ment of law in the city of Cullman, is arousing no little interest Sentiment on both sides of the question has reached a rather high state
 Although the preacher has been ten dered a position on the police force through his friends, yet he has not stat ed whether he will accept the place or not. It is not believed that he will unless the mayor personally offers the place, and in case he should the mayor says he would have to come to the office and be sworn in and receive instructions, to- gether with badge and club.
 The sermon Sunday has met with re- sentiment on the part of the city adminis- tration. The mayor has sent letter to the preacher in which he demands that the Rev. Harris appear before the next meeting of the city council and vindicate the charges brought against them. The minister says it Is his intention to an- swer the letter.
 Sentiment on both sides of the matter has reached a rather high temperature, both the city authorities and the minis ter have their sympathizers, many avow- ing their intention to stand to the action of the preacher in trying to suppress al legged law violations, while others seem to think he has committed an error in making such charges from the pulpit.
 The large number of alleged violations of the prohibition and other laws in Gull man has given rise to the calling of a meeting at the courthouse In Cullman to- night. at which time a Law and Order league will be organized. The mayor has been invited to attend and make a talk on the questions at stake. The mayor has given his consent to be present
 The purpose of this Law and Order league is not solely for the purpose of en- forcing the prohibition laws alone, but to make an effort to carry out the other laws as well, which are said to be as openly violated as that of prohibition The organization will be made along the same lines as that of Birmingham and other cities who have law and order leagues.
