LANE THINKS S1O0
 PER BLOCK IS FAIR Would Give Kelly Concern Same Consideration as
 Other Companies

'I do not believe 1t is q square deal to charge the Kelly street railroad peo- pie $1OO0 per block for its franchise when we charged the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and the Tide water only $100 per block, since the Kelly petition was presented to the commits son,' was Commissioner A. o. Lane $ comment upon the Kelly street railroad fight late yesterday afternoon.
 The matter will come up tomorrow fin a private conference between the pro- motors and the commissioners. At the regular Tuesday meeting the matter will be settled one way or the other. Com missioner Lane unhesitatingly said yes terday that he would vote for the Kelly franchise at the slO0 per block figure, the same as charged the other companies.
 T believe in development" said Judge Lane. 'The new street car line will de- velop the territory it traverses. will create city tax values and will be in every way desirable. The charge of $10OO per block do not think Is fair, because of the treatment given other companies. On that account alone I shall vote for the Kelly franchise. They are entitled to the same consideration that was shown and is being fairly shown other corpora tions here

TIKVATH SOCIETY
 BALL ANNOUNCED
Dr. Edelman Discusses Bezolel School and Autonomy in
 Palestine

The entertainment committee of the Tikvath Zion society of Birmingham has announced that the second annual civic ball given by the society will be held Tuesday. october 29. In the Turn verein hall. Tickets for the function are aI- ready on sale and going rapidly.
 The executive committee of the society met the latter part of the week at the residence of l. Michlin. F. Shrwensky acted as chairman at the meeting One of the most interesting reports was read by pr. Edelman, chairman of the propa- ganda committee. pr. Edelman stated that Zionism has made distinct progress during the-past year, and that although no particular achievement could be point ed to as epoch making, the practical ad- vance has been so obvious that the move ment should be no longer looked upon as imaginative and sentimental.
 Dr. Edelman told of the work being done by the Bezolel School for Art and Crafts in Jerusalem. He said that the school had become the pride of the Jews and that Zionist and anti-Zionist alike yied with each other Tn approving its work
 The matter of autonomy for Jews in Palestine was taken up by Dr. Edelmar, who said that "the press accounts about the Turkish government to grant local autonomy to Jews living In Palestine have been amply verified and we are justified to further the interest of the movement. The new policy involves the recognition of national groups by Turkey and the granting of municipal autonomy is part of the programme. It indicates that the Jews are considered sufficiently in- trenched in Palestine to warrant recogni- fion ''

NEGRO HOLDS UP WOMAN IN DAYLIGHT Mrs. c. R. Morgan Victim of
 Bold Highwayman JIM GLAS ARRESTED Mrs. Morgan Will Be Taken to City Jail Today to See if She Can
 Identify Prisoner as Her
 Assailant

In plain view of a half dozen houses and in the broad daylight. Mrs. c. R. Morgan was held up and robbed by a negro yesterday morning about Il o'clock about a mile and half from Woodlawn. The negro secured sS in cash. several small bundles and a purse.
 Immediately afterwards c. R. Morgan. the lady's son. reported the case to the Woodlawn police station and Sergeant Armstrong detailed Officers Walton and Sorrell on the case. About o'clock yes terday evening Jim Glas was arrested in Crackertown, near East Lake, and charged with highway robbery.
 Mrs. Morgan at the time of the hold up was returning from shopping trip to Birmingham and had several bundles in her arms. She was walking up the railroad tracks south of Woodlawn, and at the time was only about two blocks from her home. She says that she had noticed the man before the robbery walk ing up the path beside the railroad When he came up to her he stepped onto the tracks and drawing a pistol from his coat pocket, ordered her to throw up her hands. She complied and the negro then took her purse and several of the bun dles. He backed down the south em- bankment and ran into the woods
 Officers Sorrell and Walton assert that Glas answers the description given them by Mrs. Morgan. It Is understood that Mrs. Morgan will be taken to the jail to- day to identify the negro. His freedom will probably rest upon her decision.
