ERECT MONUMENT IN HONOR OF SOLDIERS Placed at Five Points in Memory of Revolution
 Heroes

A suitable monument to the memory of the revolutionary soldiers who are buried in Jefferson county will be erected at Five Points, South Highlands, by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Permission was granted the ladies to use the east harf of the park space at Five Points for this patriotic purpose at the meeting of the commissioners yesterday.
 Among the ladies who appeared before the board of commissioners several days ago to request the privilege of using the park were Mrs. Montgomery. Mrs. Ned McDavid, Mrs. H. l.. Badham, Mrs. J. w. Tomlinson, Mrs. Trimble and others. The ladies made a strong appeal for the use of the park as location of the monument, and as result the following resolution was adopted:
 Be 1t resolved by the board of com missioners of the city of Birmingham. that the petition of the General Sumpter chapter. D. A. R., for the right to erect and maintain, on the east half of the park space located at Five Points, a suitable monument to the memory of the revolu- tionary soldiers buried in Jefferson coun- ty, be and the same is hereby granted, subject to the approval by the commls- sioner of the department of streets, parks. etc. as to exact location and general de- sign of such monument

The lecture to be presented Tuesday evening. April Is, at the Chamber of Commerce. and Wednesday afternoon at the Country club, by Miss Mary Johnson of Richmond, promises to be well at- tended
 Tickets are in the hands of the Equal Suffrage association under whose auspices Miss Johnston will appear and the officers who are familiar with the matter state that there has been a steady sale since Miss Johnstons coming was announced. The price of the tickets is merely nomiral. Miss Johnston Is working in behalf of woman's rights from motives purely al- truistlc. She is very wealthy woman and besides other philanthropies has given generous material aid in the cause of suffrage.
 As a former Birmingham woman who has won fame fin literary fields, many peo- pie beside those who wish enlightenment on the suffrage question will be eager to hear Miss Johnston. and it is anticipated that she will speak to capacity house.
 Miss Johnston will arrive In Birming- ham Monday evening and during her visit will be with relatives After leaving this city there is strong possibility that she will lecture in Selma under the auspices of the Equal Suffrage organization of that .eity, which is the oldest In the state. She has been asked to appear be fore Selma audience and word has been received here that she has consented.

'SELHE|MER BACK FROM THE CAPITAL Gregory Smith, Geo. Jones and Bowie Are Hurriedly
 Called to Louisville

H. c. Selheimer returned from Mont gon}ery yesterday after a conference with the state officials in that city in refer ence to the Louisville and Nashville prop osition to. increase the passenger rate in Alabama to cents.
 Regarding the statement of Gregory l.. Smith, published yesterday morning, MT. Selheimer said he had nothing further |to say at this time.
 The only additional local development yesterday in connection with the Louis vile and Nashville effort to put back the 3 cent rate to all but competitive points was the hurried call for the Alabama at torneys of the Louisville and Nashville to Louisville. 1t was learned that Gregory l.. Smith, district attorney for the Louis- ville and Nashville; George W. Jones of Montgomery, attorney for the Louisville and Nashville, and s. J. Bowie of Bir- minghaii1, engaged on the rate cases, had been summoned to Louisville for a confer ence. It was rumored that the attorneys and Chief Counsel Stone for the Louisville and Nashville, together with Milton l.. Smith, the veteran president of that line, would consider the advisability of holding up on the increase in view of the over whelming wave of public resentment against the rate increase which is claimed 10 have arisen in this state. No confirma- ton of this, however. was available in Birmingham yesterday.

TWO OF HIS SENSES LOST WHILE PLAYING POLO-RETAINS HIS TASTE FOR GOOD MANNERS AND GOOD DRESS

Think of being cut off from the joys of good living-the pleasures of the table perhaps for life. Think of not being able to distinguish juicy orange from dish of oatmeal, to tell an oyster cocktail from cup custard.
 70, misery! Curses-yes, curses on such a fatel for that is my fate" said the count. whose name for short is August Seymore." His unexpurgated name Is August Shaffelysky de Mukkadel de Cas- tellane Seymore. Tt all happened like this, continued the count "I was playing polo In Los Angeles, Cal. few years ago when my horse in a restive moment threw up it's head right Into mine, striking mo between the eyes and on the nose-break- ing the skull. When left the Clara Bar ton hospital I came out minus my two senses-taste and smell.

COUNT DE MUKKADEL, ETC,
 CANNOT TASTE OR SMELL


 nothing tastes-and save lots of money, if I wanted to. but don't; eat as before. though I have eliminated what formerly was delicious All 1 want today is blood producing food.
 'Of course I still retain my taste for stylish dress. for good manners and the all Important dollar.
 And the ladies. oh. they all like the we'll dressed man with manners, coin and brains"
 When asked whether he would deliver any lectures here to cultivate better man. ners among Birmingham people, the count said:
 'I have not been able to secure suit able theatre for this purpose; such things take time. lots of time and as l am booked to be at the Shubert theatre in Kansas City by April 21 l can only do, on A small scale, what does require real stage with my own picture machine. Yes. shall give a few fashion lessons here in your city to begin within a day or two. I will announce 1t in the paper"
 The count is the very embodiment Of courtesy. He carries several trunks with him containing suit for every week in the year. He is a great traveller, sports man, still fond of his horses, but the first thing he does when arriving in a new city is to hunt up a skating rink. He Is q graduate dentist of two countries-Den- mark and France, but the shedding of bloods he abhors.'

REDUCED RATES TO BRING
 BIG CROWDS NEXT WEEK

The names of those who have taken advantage of the big meet to endeavor and secure money from merchants and business interests have not been learned nor how extensive have been their op- erations, but the fact that the general public will be warned of their work through the press will no doubt serve as block to further solicitation on their part.
 One solicitor appeared at an auto mobile garage and tried to secure an advertisement and pay for same in ad- vance from one of the members of the racing committee. The automobile man recognized him as a stranger and be- gan quizzing him. The fellow became embarrassed and left hurriedly.
 The Berger Aviation company through J. s. Berger, yesterday after noon gave out that a score card is printed and will be used at the avia' tion meet. automobile show and races but that he has no programme out 1T the hands of strangers.

Tag Day

I've expect to make this Tag Day the best one ever" said one of the people in- terested in the occasion yesterday. It Is the only means we use to raise funds for the Boys Home and the public has al ways rallied nobly to our aid.

We hope to out do all former efforts on next Saturday and with the aid of the public we can easily dc so.''

Called Yesterday Morning

The case of Sullivan was called yester- day morning and he did not show up, but sent word that his mother was i'll or something to that effect. Yesterday afternoon his attorney, Robert N. Bell, explained to the delayed court that Sul- livan had been in a wreck on the Frisco, but had managed to get to Birmingham, that he also had sent word that his wife was Ill and he was engaged in providing for her comfort while fin Birmingham
 Judge Grubb issued an instenter attach ment for the missing defendant and for feited his bond. which is a large one. IT was stated yesterday by court officials that in all the history of the local court no man had so fiirted with the operations of the federal court. Up to a late hour las, night the busy marshals had been unable to find Mir Sullivan. His attorneys are very much disposed to be lenient with their client, saying to the court yester- day that perhaps he was unavoidaby de- tained and would assuredly show up at thz session of court this morning.
 The docket for this morning discoses that another defendant, J. A. Morris will be placed on trial for the alleged viola ton of the liquor laws.

Hall seconded by R. H. Matthews and adopted unanimously. It follows:

 Sterns Formal Statement
 The statement of MT. Stern, present chairman of the subcommittee, follows:
 'I have had no desire hysterically to rush into print and gain cheap notoriety pitn reference to the matters of the sub committee, but in view of the fact that statements have been made to the press which are but half truths, and therefore more injurious than entire falsehoods, and which in some instances entirely at variance with the facts. have deter mined to give few facts which will ex- plain the actions of a majority of the committee. 4
 Tn the first instance this committee de{ termined to have entire publicity in i4 workings and especially with referen9e to it's finances, and therefore unanimors- ly adopted resolutions to the effect fiat no bills should be created, no voucft,rs drawn and no funds disbursed witho,H a resolution of the subcommittee; and t5at a strict account should be kept of allissx- penditures and a report made by the sfib- committee to the whole committee, H)n- taining an itenized financial report Ind its recommendations. These resolus t.ns were passed unanimously, as I have F3it- ed. and Mr. Trice voted in favor of $ ne.

ALABAMA FIFTH IN COAL PRODUCTION Takes Step Forward in the Ranks of Coal
 Producers

The last report of the geological survey of Washington, D. C., credits the state oi Alabama with fifth place in the ranks oi the coal producing states of the United States. For the past five or six years Alabama has had sixth place and although she fell off over a million tons in coal pro- duced last year she wa sable to take fifth place. Indiana has had fifth place for a long time but fell off about 5,ooooo0 tons last year.
 Last year Alabama produced approxi- mately 15,OOo 000 tons of coal, Indiana pro- ducing about 13,o0o0o0. The rank of the states as given in the government re- port is:
 Pennsylvanla, West Virginia, Illinois, ohio, Alabama and Indiana. It IS hardly probable that Alabama can take the fourth place in the ranking as Ohio pro- duces about Soooo.0oo tons of coal annu- ally, about twice as much as the home state.

$500 Fine Imposed

J. w. Moore of Palos, who was indicted for operating place for the illegal sale of liquor, was fined s5O0 by Judge Grupb and also sentenced to serve % days in the county jail. The sentence was held up however until next Monday when Moore will begin his term. He paid the fine of $500 to Maj Charles J. Allison of the United States court in short time after the sentence was imposed. It was an- nounced at the department of justice that Moore plead guilty to the charge and agreed to the punishment imposed by the court
 His case Is the only one that has re- suited favorable to the government so far in the prosecution of the whisky cases It was announced that MT. Cabell had full control of such cases but that the rumor that the United States court was instruct ed to dismiss the case against Dick Wray or anyone else was misleading. because Of the fact that a. United States court may try any defendant. even should the Pres ident of the United States attempt to have the cases dismissed It was learned at fje government building that friends of Wray are petitionng the commissioner to ac- cept a fine and allow that to satisfy the causes of justice rather than to go to trial It Is gathered that the department of justice will not recommend such ac- ton. If the commissioner of internal revenue, however. so directs, the depart ment of justice will not prosecute the case against Wray. As for Moody Wray it is the prevailing opinion that the depart ment of justice is not unwilling to recom- mend a fine for his onense.
