TO OPPOSE
PLAN OF SECRETAR
Object to the Abandonment of the
Small Southern Navy Yards
by Navy Department.

Washington, Sept. IA move
ment is said to be afoot TO block the
plan of Secretary Meyer to practi-
cally close some of the southern
navy yards and stations in the inter-
est of economy, At present appro-
priations for the actual maintenance
of the navy yards and docks are
made in a lump sum and it is left
to the secretary of the navy to dis
burse this among the different yards
at his discretion. The appropria
ton for the current fiscal year under
the head of maintenance was ST.
290 900, Opponents of the secre-
taty's plan are expected to urge that
instead of making this lump appro-
priation, congress shall itself specify
the exact amount of money to be ex-
pended at each yard and station for
maintenance. This would deprive the

AVIATOR NEE rs DEATH
IN M\OAlR EXPLOSION
Frank II. Nilier's Body Burns Be
fore the Eyes OF Spectators in
New York.
Associated Press Special.


Troy, n. Y. Sept. 23-Forced in
| to the air by the jeers of thousands
who called him coward. Frank II.
Miller, aged H23, Toledo aviator,
took flight at twilight yesterday
evening and atIdhe height of zoo feet
was burned to death before the eyes
of the terrified spectators on the Mi
ami County fair grounds here.
Miller had cireled the race track
and was just starting on spiral
glide whom it was seen that some
thing was wrong. The bird man could
be seen frantically attempting to get
his machine under control, when
suddenly the whirring of the propel-
lers ceased The craft then dropped
like a shot for distance of fifty feet
when a tiny blue flame was seen com
ing from the engine. An instant later
the gasoline tank exploded.

secretary of any discretionary power.
However. aside from the mere
maintenance of the yards, large sums
OF money are spent therein for work
upon naval vessels undergoing rec
pairs and it is contended that If con-
gress once embarks upon this policy
of debating expenditures in navy
yards it may have to go further ard
prescribe just what ships are to fs
repaired in each yard
Secretary Meyer has gotten to-
sether a Ion of data during his Eu
ropean trip to support his conten-
ton that the smaller yards should
be abandoned and there is prospect
of a lively contest on this point at
the next session of congress.

Dave" Rich's Remarks

From the Boston Shoe Retailer
 The Shoe Retailer this week was hon pred by friendly call from Dave" Rich, of D. & A. Rich, retailers of mems and wcmen's hgh-grade shoes, Birming ham, Ala. MT. Rich was busy every day of the week he was here buying fall and winter shoes. In conversation with rep resentaNe of the Retailer. MT. Rich made some interesting remarks in regard to the Il obabe demand for womens foot wear, particularly novelties for the com- ing season.
 Ut is," he said, more or less of prob lem 10 know just what will 'go,' but it seems 10 me that the one and only thing for shoe dealers to do who want to be sure to get in right, is to buy some of each kind of goods which it is expected will sell during the fall and winter months. l do not mean that they need 10 load up any particular novelty, but to buy consei vatively and with good judx- ment. Down our way we do not think that the high cut boots for women, that | is anything higher than IA buttons, will | prove particularly attractive"
 | The question of national association ] of shoe retailers and his attitude toward 1t was discussed with MT Rich. From | his remarks it was evident that he has no
 l.se for |, national association without l there first being a local association
 T believe" said MT. Rich, that there
 is a strong need for local associations, par
 ticuarly in communities where the local
 dealers have to be introduced to each | ether fl om time to time. Personally we
 have taken our troubles to the manufac- | turer and in nearly every instance we
 have received satisfaction. Still, l be lieVe the national association is all right l If conducted and organized along tn, 1 right lines by the consolidation and di rect representation of local and state as | sociations.''

A citizen of Birmingham who has taken much interest in the work of pr. Harvey w.

HUNTSVILLE PARTY FAVORS NEW ROUTE Think Road Through One Onta Most Feasible
 - BEGIN RETURN TRIP Think North and South Route Selected Is Best as It Misses the
 Hard Mountain
 Climb

The Huntsville Automobile club, ardent worker and missionary for the proposed North and South State Highway, left yesterday morning on the return trip to Huntsville. The party did mot take the same route on the return trip as was taken on the way to Birmingham They left by the way of Mount Pinson They expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the outlook for the proposed high way and stated that they thought the proposition would surely be accomplished.
 While in the city the club held a meet
 ing at the Hotel Hillman. It was decided that the club would try to have the route which the party came to this city accepted The proposed route runs through Huntsville. Whitesburg, New Hope, over the Tennessee river to Deposit Gunters- vile, Brookville, Liberty. Oneonta, Vll- lage Springs and thence to Birmingham.
 The club expressed the opinion that the new road is highly preferable to the route previously proposed. They state that the mountains would be avoided that the eloop of 25 miles by. Gadsden would be eliminated-thereby making the distance. by railroad and road the same from Huntsville-and that the people along the new route were much more en- thusiastic than those on the proposed route and on the whole they think that it is highly preferable.
 Another strong feature of the proposed route is that but little road will have to be graded and that the road will not have to be repaired as much as the other route They state that. the road is in such condition as that only 40 miles will have to be worked upon
 The promoters of this road claim that Alabama would be connected with the north by the adoption of this road. They state that above Huntsville there is only four miles of bad. road between Louis vile Ky. and Huntsville, and that the bad short stretch is just above Hunts vile and will be repaired at once. They claim that the farmers along the new route are being educated to the fact that this highway would help them greatly and that they seem very enthusiastic about the proposition.
 The delegation states that all along the route back they will distribute circulars, which will set forth their plans, and that they will make speeches in an effort to work up greater enthusiasm among the citizens along the route.
 All of the party returned to the city with the exception of Clarendon Davis the president of the club-who went to Talladega to address farmers demon- stration meeting near that city, and Roy O'Neal of the Mercury-Banner. The for mer left yesterday afternoon and the lat ter last night.
 The party was composed of the follow ing: Clarendon Davis, the president; Judge Richard Walker, Judge James H. Ballentine. Joan P. cooney Fred Wright. Charles NJ. Skinner, H. c. Laighn, W. A Connor. Roy o'Neal. Henry Chase. all of Huntsville, and Sam Henry of Cuntersville
