TIRED OF CHICAGO
o. A. Powell Says He Will Resume
 Residence in Birmingham

After trying Chicago as against Bir- mingham for about two years, O. A. Powell of that city, former resident Of Birmingham, returned yesterday and saii he intended to reside permanently in this city hereafter. MT Powell was for many years a resident of Birmingham, having acquired valuable properties here. He said yesterday that he could not resist the commercial and social possibilities of Birmingham as compared to Chicago, or any other city. and therefore would be here for good.
 Chicago is great big hustling, bust ling city" said MT Powell. However, there seems to be an element of the per- lsonal kind in Birmingham that gives one more desire to live in a somewhat smaller place where the, living is good. Aga,n the commercial possibilities of Birming- ham are greater than Chicago in many ways, and l have not overlooked that fact.
 Mr. Powell is widely known in Bir- mingham. where he has many friends

NEGRO MAKES VAIN
 ATTEMPT TO DEPART

miniature battle in which Police Sergeant Hawkins and Patrolman Hood were the aggressors and an unknown negro was the 'feer," took place the other night about 7:30 o'clock at the intersection of Fifth avenue and Eff teenth street. The negro had been de- tected at distance to be breaking into the grocery store of Olim & Men del The officers commanded him to halt but the black decided that 1t would be healthier for him to depart from that region to parts unknown. So he proceeded to the best of his ability. Then 1t was that the officers opened fire on him. Subsequent developments show that the negro was hit once or twice by the bullets.

PLANNING ID BUY PARK FOR ENSLEY Weatherley Made Trip Over Ground Yesterday TAKE ACTION SOON Park Commission Will Probably Rule Today That Athletes Cannot
 Use East End Park For
 Training

The first step on the part of the city 10 acquire park near Ensley to serve that portion of Birmingham was taken yesterday when Commissioner James Weatherly went to Ensley with a dele gation of citizens interested.
 The committee went over several sites with MT. Weatherly and pointed out the various features of the properties for park purposes. Mr. Weatherly seemed to be very much interested in the inspec- ton, and while no announcement was made 1t is confidently believed that a park proposition will be closed up on be- half of Ensey very soon.
 It is not anticipated that MT. Weather ly of the city commission will finally give his sanction to any purchase until the park commission has been consulted in regard to the park. It is understood that the idea of park work contemplated in Birmingham is to engage a prominent landscape architect to designate the ap- propriate places for such parks as need ed and acquire the property recom- mended. In that way 1t is believed a general scheme of park work will be handled with greater advantage to the whole people.
 The vicinity of Ensey. it is gathered. presents a complex situation, because the commission is of the impression that park should be selected not alone for Ensley. but also convenient to Vivian, Pratt City and Fairview.
 The two commissions to deal with the problem are anxious to give that portion of Birmingham park facilities on account of the large number of citizens In that section. The matter of actually buying suitable park property for that vicinity will doubtless be taken up very soon.
 Athletes To Be Tabooed
 At a meeting to be held today at the city hall jointly with the city commits sion. the park commission will probably Issue orders forbidding the use of Eas: End park to the Athletic club and the Young Mems Christian association as an athletic training ground. The commits sioners yesterday looked over the situa- tion thoroughly and while no official an- nouncement has been made the general opinion seems to be that the restriction will be placed upon the park property untl neuge may De grown dDout the race track in the park, thus segregatng 1t from the remainder of the park prop erty
 The indications are that the park com mission will encourage very thoroughly the park as play ground for little chill dren, especially those attending the Pow ell school, which institution has no grounds for the children at this time.
 In addition to taking this action the park commission will very probably go into the matter of titles to all the parks of Birmingham. letter has been writ ten to the city attorney requesting that official to see that all titles are regular to park lands in order to absolve any Likelihood of contests in the years to come, the like of which has featured the Avondale property and bids fair to place in peril the North Birmingham park property.

Badham Talks for Country Club

President Henry Badham of the Coun- try club, who will make oath for that organization, said yesterday that he was sure every member of his club would be glad to cooperate with him In strict observance of the regulations
 T am sure that when l make oath for the members of the Country club and rely upon them to uphold me they will do so," said MT. Badham There is absolutely no question about it. l will see to it personally that the laws are strictly observed. We have an excise law and three excise commits sioners and public sentiment is for that law. Therefore We must have respect for it absolutely and assist in every way to carry out the law, not only in the spirit, but in the very letter. l will perhaps secure license for the Country club today"
 The social organizations like the Southern, Country and Elks' clubs will be especially charged with upholding the law. It is said no chance must be incurred that would lead anyone to suggest that the social organizations sell liquors after the saloons close down town and on Sunday Incidental ly it was pointed out yesterday that the licenses of all clubs were as easily revoked by the excise commission for any violation as are the licenses is sued to retailers.
 Yesterday the greatest throng was at the excise commissions office. Dur
 ing the day, following the announce ment yesterday morning of 16 whole sale licenses, the crowd clamoring for certificates became dense. The commissioners worked unceasingly un- til late in the afternoon trying to get other licenses issued. It is said the re- tail proposition is causing great worry tl.. ,,,,ie iectr protests have been made against the retailers. No one has escaped some protest. it is learned, and others have been swamped with those who oppose the location or the personality of the operator.
 A protest was yesterday afternoon filed against locating any saloons on the west side of Twentieth street be- tween First and Second avenues. 1t will be considered.

After Nearly Four Years Wholesalers Are Again
 Open for Business
THREE CLUBS GIVEN
 LICENSES TO SELL
Must Close at II O'Clock and Not Sell on Sunday or License Can Be Revoked At
 Any Time

Upon adjourning yesterday afternoon at O clock the excise commissioners an- nounced that no agreement had been reached on any further wholesale liquor houses which will be allowed to conduct business here. It was said that tenSa- lively some had been passed favorably but that they would probably be exam ned further this morning.
 The commissioners, however, yesterday issued certificates to the Motlow Distill- ing company, the D. w. Taylor Drug ccn- pany and the Southern club.
 Today it is expected that some definite statement will be made as to the other wholesale men, So far no statement has been made as to any retail men, conse- quently those applying are very much perturbed.
 The J. C. Marks Liquor company WAS the first concern to secure from the probate court a license to engage in the wholesale liquor business yesterday. That firm had previously secured a certificate of approval from the excise commission. During the morning the Collier Drug com pany began wholeI''s dealings as did the Gum Drug company, corner Twentieth street and Third avenue. During the day many other wholesale places were issued licenses by the judge of probate after the full qualifications had been made before Secretary Stalings.

Carter of that organization appeared before the excise commission and made oath that he would see that at Il o'clock every night the buffett was closed ana that no liquor of any kind would be sold on Sunday. His oath as president was at tached to the regular qualification blank furnished by the commission. The coun- try club was passed upon favorably and also the Elks club but no license certfi- cate was issued to them during the day because the officers had not qualified, This will be done some time today.
 The social clubs will be under the very strictest rules. It is announced that the closing hours must be strict ly enforced as well as the proposition about Sunday,
