MOSLER'S FINE WORK
Canvas by American Artist Attracts
 Attention at Paris Salon

Eros, Goddess of the Rainbow" a painting by Henry Mosler, the famous ar tist, which was shown at the annual Beaux Arts salon in Paris last week, created the most enthusiastic attention, according to reports received here. That the painting must be put in the fornt rank of those shown at the salon is the opinion of the art critic of the New York Times, who wrote the following in con- nection with the work:
 "Following the success won by Ameri- cans at the Beaux Arts salon, nothing could be more encouraging than the showing made by natives of the United States at this salon. Not only does their work hold it's own easily with any other, but some of the best canvases displayed are from Americans hands. For beauty and originality of conception, Eros, God dess of the Rainbow by Henry Mosler of New York, must be put in the front rank The goddess Is shown floating over the world in gloriously colored rainbow, ] the whole forming composition of great beauty. The work is really one of the chief features of the salon."
 Mir. Mosler has host of friends in Bir- mingham whom he met upon visits to his daughter. Mrs. Otto Marx. Mir. and Mrs. Marx when in Europe this summer an- tlcipate spending several weeks with Mir. Mosler.

Flagmen and Yardmen Also Interested in Demand
 on Railroads

It was learned in Birmingham yester- day that a demand had been made on all the railroad arrangements of the south east for considerable increase in re- muneration by the conductors, fiagmen and yardmen. The demand was made April 20, acording to the local informa- ton and the railroads have been asked tc make their answer May % or 30 days from receipt of the demand.
 It is understood that the request for more pay will result in a considerable inroad being made into the earnings of the railroads if granted, resulting in con- duetors receiving as much as s225 and s25o per month, as compared to the general average of $1S5 per month now received.
 It is stated that the request coming as 1t does only bare year or more from a considerable increase to employees has created surprise. One official here yes- terday who was asked about the propo- s.tion and said that the request would most certainly be denied, as the com panies could not possibly stand any such increase as was requested.
 The trainmen, it Is understood. base their claims upon the higher cost of liv- ing.

Congressman Heflin Worried by Re
 ports Circulated in Georgia


 Washington. May S.-(Special.) .)-News- papers in Georgia and Alabama are caus- ing Congressman Hefiin of Alabama some little embarrassment in the circulation of misunderstanding growing out of a speech he made in Atlanta recently. On that occasion Mir. Heflin said that he had friendly feeling for Georgia for the req son that his father was, born in the state. The newspapers have it that MT Hefiin said that he himself was born in the state. This is not correct The elder Hefin moved to Randolph county, Alabama, with his father when he was : years of age He lived and married there and died there after ripe old age.
 Congressman Hefin was born in Ran dolph county and is proud of the fact. He has always lived in Alabama and while he likes Georgia and Georglans, he rejoices that he was born in Alabama He would not have had it otherwise.

PROPERTY OWNERS
 ENTER A PROTEST

Montgomery, May s.-(Special)- )-An in- teresting case is pending in the Mont gomery circuit court in reference to the construction of the dam at Speigners, which the state is building at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars. Prop erty owners at speigners have protested the states right to condemn certain land for flooding purposes under one of the sections of the code, and the probate judge of Elmore county has rendered decision sustaining the property owners conten- ton.
