SMOKER TENDERED
 ID DOCTOR DENNY
New President of Alabama Guest of Tuscaloosa
 Board of Trade

Tuscaloosa, January 6.-(speciaD. D.-The Board of Trade smoker given in the re- ception rooms of the Elks' home was one of the most largely attended social ar fairs ever given in Tuscaloosa. bringing together several hundred citizens to meet Dr. George II. Denny, president of the University.
 Through the reception hours the beautiful home of the Elks presented an animated scene with its tremendous crowd mingling together in pleasant conversa- tion. Dr. Denny was most cordial in his greetings and the perfect success of the smoker was a mute proof of the regard and esteem in which the university is held by the people of Tuscaloosa and the ster- ling worth of pr. Denny is recognized all ready and no man coming to Tuscaloosa has ever met with the complete demon- stration as was shown at the Elks home last night.
 The cooperage plant which has been shut down for several months will re- sume work on Monday under the man. agement of the home, the original build CTS of the plant. The payroll of the plant is a large one and particular in- terest is manifested in the reopening of this valuable industry.

THE SAD DEATH OF A
 BIRMINGHAM YOUNG MAN

little more than 12 months ago Robert K. Stoelker left Birmingham for Atlanta where he had an extensive elec- 'trical contract During the period or his stay in that city he made many friends and developed such capacity in his business qualifications he was only recently elected to the position of city electrician. which duty be would have assumed on January 1, 1912.
 His usual holidays were spent at home with his parents, MT. and Mrs. Otto Stoelker 1140 South Fifteenth street in Birmingham. few days be- fore Christmas he phoned his mother that he had not been well and was suf- fering with grip and would postpone his visit.
 Without fearing serious illness. he went to St. Joseph's hospital for atten- tion and developed appendicitis, and Thursday, December 28, after an oper- alton he died, leaving mother, father and sister, Mrs August Brown or this city, and brother. MT. otto Stoelker or Montana to mourn his death.
 His remains were carried to their former home at Montgomery and there inferred MT. Stoelker was just 30 wears old and unmarried He sacrificed a life of usefulness to his family and leaves countless friends who knew and loved him for his bright unselfish na- ture.
 Death is always sad, but when 1t beckons from those whose lives havo spread cheerfulness to young and old alike it leaves a scar that time alone can heal. When young man so full of hope and promise is taken from the home and the parents are so bereft' all that human heart can do is to look to the dispensation of Providence for Divine comfort. Reaper comes to old and young alike-when age passes out to rest after life of usefulness. We weep and mourn that their work is over When youth passes on we won der why the summons ere life is spent. Man knows not.

 This latest recruit from the Birming- ham station halls from Hieberger, a hamlet consisting of a store, postoffiee. gin and houses, about II miles from the railroad, and not very far from Marion, the county seat of Perry coun- ty. His wish to become one of Uncle Sans hornpipers was kindled by a realization that he needed travel 10 round out his knowledge of the uni- verse and which was famed into ac- ton through the literature sent out over all the rural mail routes by the government naval officials. He goes under the special recommendation of Master al Arms Fuller. who stated yes terday that recruits of this type even tually develop into very valuable men for service and that every effort is be- ing made to encourage the enlistment of the country boy.

The call of the life on the bounding seas" and longing to feel the "toss of the restless pillows" knocked so strong ly against the manly chest of Ellis Sigler of Perry county that he braved the reputed terrors of a railroad train in order to ride, for the first time in his 19 years of life, to Birmingham and join the United States navy. He arr rived here last Tuesday and departed for the naval training school at Nor folk yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
 Ellis is the proverbia1, unsophisto- cated. verdant youth from the rural sections, as he pronounces the tall buildings of the Magic City eminently dangerous and maryels that he could find his way to the recruiting office of the navy in the Chamber of Commerce building without being arrested or held up. He pleased Master at Arms Fuller of the local recruiting station by his splendid physique and earnest desire to become a sailor of the deep blue seas

"Buster Brown

Buster Brown the familiar cartoon comedy, which was presented at the Jeff ferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night, proved to be an agreeable sur prise. Although the piece has been on the stage long enough to deteriorate, much after the fashion of most musicai boards a year or two it is still entertain- ing and was well presented at the Jeff ferson. Harold West continues to play Buster, Louise Allen is Mary Jane, D. J. Murphy is Tige, Beth Kaufman is Mi- randa Stebbins and Charles udell is again cavorting about as Seth Snowders. Mr Udell and Miss Kaufman are both very good portrayers of rustic types. Mr. Udens nonsense was the most amusing part of the performance. Kitty Lacy and Waffle Helston did some graceful dancing. Some attractive musical mum bers were presented with the assistance of a very fair chorus, in the matter of looks, and eminently pleasing in regard to cos tunes.

BEAUTIFUL TALEULAH FALLS
 IS PRACTICALLY DOOMED

now that the company has already spent more than s1,000,000 in it's in- provement and has prepared to spend twice as much more in installing plant and machinery it is certain it will not back down
 There is considerable dispute as 10 just how much power Tallulah Falls will yield. At one time it was an- nounced that the company expected to get 150,000 horsepower or more out of them. But this estimate has dwin- died considerably, and it is now prac- tically accepted that they will yield approximately 60,000 horsepower, and at greatest not more than 75,000.
 This is the first development the company will make, but it owns half a dozen other valuable water powers, some or which are almost as impor- tant as Tallulah These will be de- veloped as the power is called for and can be marketed at profitable price.
 Notwithstanding this situation, and. perhaps, in order to satisfy the senti- lHsntal side of the proposition. the state has taken up the claim that part of the land included in Tallulah Falls Is it's own property and has never been granted. In order to establish whether or not the state has any such titles. Prof. John c. Koch of the engineering. department. of the state university has been designated by Governor Slaton to So there and make a survey. He will begin this investigation about the mid- dle Of January.

POLICE ARE MAKING VERY FEW ARRESTS

Chief of Police George H. Bodeker and City Commissioner A. o. Lane are highly pleased with the results of their an nounced policy to reduce the number of arrests, beginning with last New Year s,
 Since the first of January but % arrests have been made. This is accounted for by the fact that the officers have been ex- ercising unusual discretion in making arr rests. it is said. Hardly any of the ar rests made this year have resulted other wise than in conviction, whereas before this only about three-fourths of the ar rests resulted in conviction
 The number of burglaries has greatly decreased from previous records and 1t seems that petit wrongdoing is greatly on the wane in Birmingham instead of increasing all the time as many believe. Chief Bodeker expresses himself greatly pleased with the record made for the first week of the new year and hopes that such will continue throughout 1912.

Can state convict enter the mafri- monial state, provided the other party is willirg?' was the rather startling query propounded to one of the county court judges Saturday afternoon. The learned jurist hesitated in his reply and diplo- matically asked the particulars, which are as follows.
 A married man was convicted of a fel- ony In one of the south Alabama courts and received a sentence to serve 10 years In the pententiary. His wife, thinking that the prison sentence severed their marital relations, married again without having first secured the divorce she was entitled to under the divorce laws of the state.
 Discovering that the second maria oe was Illegal, she instituted proceedings and was granted divorce from her convict husband, but exercising the feminine pre- rogative to change her mind. refused ia re-marry husband No. and now desires to be reunited to her first husband
 She has moved to a cottage near the state penitentiary, and is waiting for the decision of the judge as to whether she can be legally reunited or not The judge gave it as his opinion that the marriage would be legal but stated that it was up to the state authorities as to whether it would be permitted or not.

seph & Loeb booth, during the manage ment of Mrs. Gus Colvin. The various other stands graduated their collections, but in most instances a fair average was maintained
 The members of the women's auxiliary arc not especially pleased with the results of last years campaign, but believe that it was partly due to the fact that the sun never shone upon them during the entire extent of the sale and that tle federal postal authorities had so widely advertised their precaution against plae- ing the stickers on the face of the mail matter. This act was rescinded just three days before the beginning of the Birming- ham sale and did not allow sufficient time for the erasing of the impression that the seals could not ornament the front or mail from the minds of the public. However. the 1911 returns will be a de- cided assistance, 1t is claimed. toward the erecting of the administration build ings at the Red Mountain Tuberculosis camp, which will be contracted for before the expiration of many weeks.
