All previous records for gunnery

est fortifcation to have target prac.
tice. One was the record for day firing
and the other for night firing. The
best night work, so far as records of
the war department show, was made
by the Thirteenth company. com
manded by First Lieutenant W. Watts
Rose. This company, firing with twelve
inch guns. made four hits out of six
shots in few seconds less than the
minimum time recorded for this num-
Der Of shots. The target was at a dis
tance of 1900 yards.
A greater degree OF accuracy was
made by the Eleventh company on day
firing with twelve inch guns. This
company, commanded by Captain E. l.
Bennett, made six hits out of six shots
at 500 yards. The time was 8 min
utes 4S seconds, a fraction more than
one and half hits per gun per min
ute. This makes a figure of merit OF
2S3. For both practices the target was
the regulation target, thirty feet high
and sixty feet long and towed at eight
knots an hour.

VIEWS ON LOCAL OPTION

T have given the question of regulating the liquor traffic much consideration" said William T. Palmer "I find many honest differences of opinion as to the best method of regulation. From per- sonal observation I have come to the conclusion that the present method of dealing with the traffic, namely state wide prohibition, is a distinct and de- cided failure, and that prohibition does not prohibit.
 T believe the officers as rule are endeavoring to do their duty, but not withstandng the numerous arrests made from time to time the illegal sale of liquor continues.
 "All laws depend upon public senti- ment for their efficiency. and the meas ure by which any law can be tested is the support 1t receives from the peo- pie.
 However wholesome in the abstract, laws which do not have public sentiment behind them cease to be wholesome, for a law that is not or cannot be enforced tends to bring all law in disrepute and thus break down public morals

NOTABLE TRIBUTE
 ID ALEX BREW|S
Numerous Corporations for Which He Worked Aid
 Him in His Trouble

Alex Brewis of Sayre, who it is alleged, shot and killed a man named Lynn Sun day afternoon, July 3, has been released upon bond. And with his release it Is said there has developed a conspicuous example of where the business interests recognize a peacable man and protect him in making a bond. MT Brewis, it is said has worked for various corporations here for many years and has always been an example of kindliness and prop riety about mine camps. And when 1t was learned that in an argument he had been precipitated into some trouble, 1t is said there was an unlimited amount of money ready to be placed to secure his release.
 J. R. Ryan, vice president of the Co roma Coal and Iron company who is a warm personal friend and admirer of Mr. Brewis, said yesterday that he un- derstood that almost every large busi- ness interest here would have willingly gone on the bond of MT. Brewis to se- cure his release from the county jail.

ALUMNI MEETING

University Men Want More Time To Consider Names
 for New Presidency

The meeting of the local chapter of the alumni of the university, which was called yesterday for this evening at o'clock at the University club by J. Q. Smith, president of the organization, has been postponed with the object of giving more lengthy notice in order to secure a wholly representative gath- ering when the matter of recommends ing names for the successor to Dr. Ab- ercrombie may be secured.
 According to statements from several prominent alumni the idea of the meet | ing shall be to deliberate on certain names to be proposed to the nominating l committee of the board of trustees as worthy of their considera tion for the | presidency of the university. The ap- pointing committee has signifed it's willingness to receive any recommends . tions which may be made in consid-
 eration of the entire fitness of such
 men whose names are presented. Dr.
 Edward Franklin Buchner of Johns
 Hopkins university is most prominent
 ly mentioned at present but there are
 several others who are considered to
 be equally well qualified for the place.

Tt seems to me that If a small part of the energy that has been expended in our state to lessen the evils of intemp- erance by law, had been directed to the creation of a strong public sentiment against intemperance. much more lasting good would have been accomplished ana greater benefits derived.
 "I feel sure the people of this dis trict are tired of the present conditions and the question naturally arises, in the event of a change, what would be of most benefit. Many of our best citizens revolt against sumptuary laws. and as result the laws are being violated with out the consciousness of wrongdoing, and becomes farce and a fruitful source of fraud, deceit and corruption.
 "Sumptuary laws tend to built a hate ful and tyrannous sytem of spies and paid spotters that is repugnant to the average citizen.
 From any viewpoint I believe the open sale of liquor in high license saloons with the proper regulation to be the best way of dealing with the question, both from a moral and economic standpoint"

LANE INCLINED ID
 RECONSIDER PLAN Impressed By Protests on
 Splitting Car Route IS ONLY TEMPORARY Understood That Merchants and Property Owners Affected Have
 Explained Situation in De-
 tail To Commission
IS ONLY TEMPORARY

The chances are now understood to be very much against the placing into eff feet by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company of the pro- poled split in the North and South Highlands street car routes. The mat ter has been brought to the attention of the Board of Commissioners and Judge Lane of the department of jus tice expressed himself frankly as to the change and his attitude is to recon sider the permission granted a delega- tion of merchants headed by M ". Joseph.
 q was very much impressed with the expressions of disfavor from leading citizens as to the proposed change in
 the North and South Highlands car lines" said Commissioner Lane yester- day. And the question will be taken up by this body before next Sunday to
 which day the proposed change has
 been postponed. When the matter came up originally, I secured two amendments that the North Highlands | car should run down Twentieth street and that no reduction in the number of cars should result. Now I am in- clined to believe that the rearrange- ment will discommode a large num- | Der of citizens without assisting any | large number of our citizens The change was allowed only as an experi- ment but I am not inclined just at 1 this time and in view of the extremely | logical objections to favor the tempor- ary proposition"
 It Is understood that yesterday morn | ing the merchants opposing the rear engagement of the North and South Highlands car line went before the | commissioners personally and explained to them in detail just how serious the proposed change would be to Twentieth street property owners and citizens. The result seems to be that the change has only remote chance to become effec tive,

 The Interlocutor: 'I've seen you gen tlemen so often at the theatre; in fact, never attended a performance that didn't see you both there, which prompts me to ask about your favorites on the stage. How about 1t, MT. Marx?'
 MT. Caheen "Ellen Terry is MT. Marx S favorite; the last time he went to New York he went to see her in Captain Brass hounds Conversion, and he went to sleep and snored so loud that an usher came and told him that sleepers were only all lowed In church. not at the theatre"

 MT. Marx: Sure, he has. It's about flying machines-you know he's always up in the air about something. His ia vorite song is Blanche Rings Aeroplant Song. No, really he likes The Angels Serenade' better than anything else"

 Mr. Caheen and MT Marx Qn Unison) Never, no, never! That is-well-we were in love once-with the same girl-and the rivalry was so fierce that we nearly came to blows-but it turned out all right for we were still the best of friends, when 1t was all over She married another fel- low.

1912 AUTO MODELS ARE

Distinctive Feature Is Increased Ele- gance and Decrease in Pur-

"The 1912 model automobile is already on the market said Tom Morris, sales man of the Birmingham Motor com pany. ''rhe distinctive feature of the new model is the increased elegance of the car with a decrease in the purchase price The new cars are equipped with every modern device. Refinement in de- tail is much in evidence, such a greater choice in the color scheme, and little embellishments and conveniences that add much to the pleasure of mo- .oring.
 We have had good sales already and Indications point to much better year from sales standpoint than during the past year.
 of course we think we have the best cars and point to their records as to their reliability There is no question about the 1912 cars being the acme of elegance and durability"

EXPECT ACTION ON
 SCENT FARE ISSUE
Another Conference May Be Held Between Railway Officials and
 Commissioners Today

Lee c. Bradley, vice president and counsel for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company with whom, it is said, negotiations have been carried on looking to the reduction of the Ensley car fare, has returned from an extended trip west, and it is said to be the in- tention of the city officials to take up immediately the proposition of a cent fare between Birmingham. Ensley and Pratt City and carry the negotiations through successfully.
 Mr Bradley when asked yesterday for his views upon the reported negotiations said he was not informed as to what had transpired since his departure, that he had not talked to either of the commits sioners nor President Ford and for these reasons would have to be excused from making comments.
 It is understood that conference will be arranged between the commissioners and the officials of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company perhaps today, at which the proposal of a cent fare will be gone over again.
 Commissioners Lane and Weatherly, who have been most interested apparently in the negotiations have expressed the opinion that the reduction will be made voluntarily by the street railway company as soon as all the facts are in possession of the company.
 In the city hall it is apparent that some progress has been made in the negotia- lions as a changed attitude is said to be now maintained between the commission CTS and the officials relative to the pro- posed reduction.
 Judge Lane Is of the opinion that the reduction will be secured for the citizens of Ensley within a very short time. It Is the hope that the reduction will be made without pressure.
 No public expressions were made yes terday, however, in reference to the ne- gotiations by those most intimately con- nected with the matter
