WILL NAME SOME SALOONS TOMORROW
Within a Day or Two Sa- looms Will Again Be Seen
 in Birmingham

The excise commissioners tomorrow, or no later than the day following, will indicate some men who will operate wholesale and retail liquor houses in Biz mingham. Following the issue of cer- tificate to Judge J. P. Stiles of the pro- bate court, the court will at once issue a retail or wholesale liquor license to the holder.
 Then within a day or; two it is probable that saloons will spring up within the city blocks of Birmingham in many places The excise commissioners have officially announced that the first part of the week would witness some licenses ls- sued Yesterday the commissioners en- tered their private offices in the city hall and free from interruptions and appeals dispatched work like wild fire. It is said great many wholesale applications Were looked over, while many retail applich- tions went through the scrutiny of the commissioners.
 office hours have been fixed by the
 commissioners for hearing protests al from 10:30 o'clock until Il ;S0 o'clock each morning. An hour will be arranged in the afternoon for protests also. This rul- ing will enable the commissioners to worl; to a greater advantage than if the coiin- cil room were allowed to be overrun with protesting persons every hour of the day. The commissioners tackled a .knotty problem yesterday when they were called upon to refuse any saloons to Warrior. As the place went dry by good majority the citizens for prohibition believe they
 will secure d favorable verdict It is m derstood to be the attitude of the com mission that saloons shall be located only where they arc wanted, except in unusual
 cases when the judgment of the excise commission alone will be relied upon. The commission was appointed two weeks ago last night and since that time over 215 applications have been received and filed and q great many protests re- ceived upon various persons.

SOME OF THE MEN WHO ARE MAKING GREAT STATE AR First Fair Was Given in Birmingham Twenty
 two Years Ago NEW ASSOCIATION
 IS GREAT SUCCESS From Its Beginning the Fair Has Had Birmingham Best Business
 Men in Charge of It's
 Development
Nv .upNey FRANCIS BEAUMONT

By HENRY FRANCIS BEAUMONT
 The widespread and enthusiastic inter est which is being taken in the Alabama State Fair, by means of which the riches anl resources of all Alabama will be shown to the world as in vast show window carly in october, has attracted interest to the personnel of the fair man. agement and comment has been evoked by the representatove nature of the men composing the executive staff and the directorate of the association.
 Though known to few. the full name of the Alabama State Fair is the Alabama State Fair and Exhibit association, char tered under the laws of Alabama.
 The association was organized seven years ago and immediately assumed the work of organizing representative State Fair. taking upon itself; an enterprise which had been somewhat spasmodic in it's nature and which had not been at all successful
 The first move of the new associa-

management of the fair would have to as- suine responsibility.
 MT. l.. r. Hill, publisher of the Ems ley Enterprise, and realty operator of Birmingham was actively connected with the fair held in 'S9, and he it was that re- lated in a brief way the story of the aforesaid mysterious disappearance
 Tt seems said MT H1ll, that rich prize was offered to any young couple of lovers who were willing to be married a the fair and take their honeymoon on d balloon, in those days the only form of aviation known.
 ''From the numerous aspirants offering for the honors a couple, the man hand some and gallant. the girl pretty as d picture, were chosen and the two were united in wedlock amidst the plaudits of vast throng.
 "When the time came for the balloon voyage, however, the mans courage failed him and had it not been for the nerve and determination shown by the fair

tistic in the entire south, and the tplant," as site and buildings are known, is valued at an immense sum.
 Casting back over the years prior to the formation of the present association, and quoting from heresay, the first .eXpo- sition or state Fair ever held in Brming- ham was in 1889, practically P years ago.
 This event will long be remembered by those connected with the undertaking because of the mysterious disappear anee' of the young married couple for which, it appeared for some days. the

Drill Tools Recovered

The officers of the Five Rivers Oil and Gas company received telegram yes. tefday morning stating that G. A. Os- born had been successful in getting out of the Newtonville we'll the two strings of tools and a 160l foot wire rope that were broken off beneath the surface. The drilling in the Fayette field by this firm will, in the future, be sopth of the gas field as other companies have drilled cast and west of the six gas wells al ready there.

bride. one whom I will always remember both for her daring and her beauty, the trip through the air would have been abandoned. However, as the rewards which included over $500 worth of articles besides $50 in cash, were to be given only to the couple carrying out the programme in full. the man finally, through shame, stepped into the basket of the balloon the ropes were cut and in flash the big sillSen bag disappeared in a westerly di- recton..
 'From the moment the balloon passed out of sight on the horizon, amidst the dusk of approaching night the newly weds disappeared.
 ''The first day passed and no news was received of them.
 "The second day passed and no news came to light
 And then, on the third day they were discovered miles and miles away in an inaccessible farm house where they had been 'castaway' in a storm and had pro ceeded to make the best of their adven- lures by enjoying the balance. of their honeymoon in secrecy which formed a de- srable contrast to the publicity under which they were welded
 Tt seems that a severe storm arose soon after the balloon had gotten to q point beyond the vision of the multitudes which witnessed the ascent In the stress of the storm the balloon descended and caught in the limbs of a tree, the young couple failing out. though fortunately without injury of a serious nature. Thsy sought refuge in the farm house and ac- cepting the Isolation which fate had be- slowed upon them had remained hidden. totally unaware that all of northern Ala bama was disturbed over their appear ance.
 ''rheir reappearance In the land of the living, after the veil of mystery which had covered their untimely wreck. was a great advertising feature for the sair, forcing it into more 'lmelight' than he public marriage ceremony had done. while at the same time it perhaps saved trouble, for the management appeared to be blamed by the public for what many feared for the three days was the possi- ble death of the young people.
 Exum First President
 Culpepper ENum, the present president of the city commission of Birmingham, was the first president of the present as- sociation in charge of the Alabama State fair.

Though the members of the nominat- ing committee of the board of trustees have evidently with forethought re- trained from mentioning the fact from information gathered yesterday by The Age Herald there is no doubt but that pr. George H. Denny will be the next president of the University of Ala bama.
 pr. Hal Johnson, chairman of the nominating committee. sent the fol- lowing particulars yesterday to The Age Herald from his home in Talla- doga:
 The nominating committee will pre- sent the name of pr. George H. Denny, president of Washington and Lee uni versity. Lexington, Va, 10 the full board of trustees of the University Of Alabama at meeting next Monday in Montgomery. He will doubtless be elected unanimously. The. nominating committee presents his name after q very careful survey of the educational field, especially in the south; and 1t feels 4hat the name of the very. best man is being presented Personally l very much nope LHdl UT. DeHuy VIII favorably consider the call"
 Surprise in Birmingham
 Members of the board of trustees and alumni of the university in Birming- ham are much elated in that Dr. Denny will succeed J. w. Abercrombie as president. Dr. Denny took charge of the presidency of Washington and Lee in 1902 and has builded that univer- sity until the number of matriculated students at the present time is about 750 Friends of the University of Ala bama believe that 1t will grow like wise under the guidance of pr. Denny.
 Considerable surprise is expressed in Birmingham that Dr. Denny will ac- cept the offer of the trustees. It is recalled that when the proposition was first mentioned the newspapers of Vir- ginia rose on their launches and paved the air, one of them seeing proper to say very uncomplimentary things con corning the University of Alabama, the trustees of that institution and educa tion in general in this state. The trus- tees 6 Washing gton and Lee, 1t is re- ported, offered to increase the salary of pr. Denny 5000 per annum if he would

.......s.s..............,......

agree to remain at that post And it is said that the students who are re- ported to be very fond of their pres- bility of his departure that could have been heard across the borders of Vir ginia.
 But in spite of these facts, pr. Denny evidently saw an opportunity to do bet ter work for the cause of education in Alabama than in Virginia. It is under stood that the salary of the president of the University of Alabama will be n- creased as soon as Dr. Denny takes charge but that even with the increase he will profit less from a financial stand point than he is profting today as the head of Washington and Lee pr. Denny made a tour of this state last fall, and the impression he left behind was so fa- vorabe that as soon as the trustees de- termined to make a change in the presi- dency of the UniversitySof Alabama, an effort at first unsuccessful, was made to acquire pr. Denny. It is d compliment to Dr. Denny in that so many Birmlng- ham boys are attending at the present time Washington and Lee
 pr. Johnson in his communication to The Age-Herald included the following detailed account of the personal history of Dr. Denny:
