FLORENCE SALOON CLOSED FOR 20 DAYS Excise Commission Gives No Public Reason for
 Suspension

The Florence Hotel saloon, operated by Wertheimer Bros, was closed yesterday for 20 days by the excise commission. The order of suspension went into effect yes- terday morning at o'clock.
 The action of the commission, it is said, was another step against the blind tiger in this city. Although no information has been given out by the commissioners it is alleged that the saloon In one way or another has been instrumental in fur nishing alleged tigers with supplies. The commissioners, 1t is announced, were thoroughly convinced of their position and therefore applied the drastic order to the offenders. The suspension is the most severe one that has been handed out to any local saloon since the excise commission went into office.
 It is stated that these saloonkeepers had been up before the commission before and have also been fined by the federal authorities.
 Chairman Agee said yesterday he did not care to specify the cause of the sus- pensIon but that if was of such a serious nature as to merit the heavy penalty in- ficted He said that all saloons, clubs and other places existing by authority of the excise commission had best come to understand that any infraction meant punishment.

MUCH INTEREST
 IN COMER'S SPEECH

There is considerable speculation in po- litical circles over the speech which will be delivered at Greensboro next Tuesday by former Gov B. E. Conner. Mir. Conner the originator of railroad rate reforms in this state, has not uttered one word since the recent action of the federal court in declaring the rates started by Governor comer to be unreasonable and according Iy the railroads have been allowed to rein state them.
 Governor Conner, 1t is believed, will ad- dress an immense audience at Greensboro, where he will outline his attitude over the adverse action recently taken on railroad rates in this state. Ii is believed that for mer Governor Conner will make political history at Greensboro. Ii is said that he will either tentatively declare himself a candidate for the office of governor next term or will indorse Charles Henderson, D, esident of the railroad commission. for the gubernatorial race. In any event it is believed the remarks of Governor Conner will be the livest political dope that has been handed out here in some time.

Tn fact so many came up and said Cap tain. I'll be your friend" that he got somewhat suspicious. However, realizing like the politician that he is that he was truly in the hands of his friends. he courteously thanked them for their solici- | tous offers.
 | Notwithstanding that all three ranks were conferred last night, each rank was fully conferred. no part of the cere- meny being omitted.
 At the appointed hour the lodge opened in the rank of page. The distinguished candidate was quickly inducted into its mysteries. The rank of esquire was also quickly conferred. the candidate receiving it's striking lessons. The last rank Of knight was then conferred with all it's elegant ceremonial
 The several dramatic parts were ex- cellently well taken, and the ranks con ferred in a way to make lasting its high and noble teachings.
 After the ceremony an elegant luncheon was served, and number of short talks given by prominent members of the or der. Captain Hobson gracefully acknowl- edged his appreciation of the honor con ferred upon him. and stated that he would try to profit by the lesson he had learned in his elevation to knighthood.
 Among those present were Grand Chan cellor Cobb, Past Grand Chancellor J. Lee Holloway, Herman Beck, W. s. Wads- worth. Thomas R. Walker, Judge Hugo L. Black, Graham Perdue and many others.

DISCUSS FORMING INDUSTRIAL BANK Weekly Luncheon Topic Is Protection From Loan
 Sharks

The organization of an industrial bank to protect the worlxingmen from the in iquities of the loan sharks was the topic discussed at the weekly luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. The principal address was to have been deliv- cred by H. B. Randolph of Atlanta, but in his absence Forney Johnston of this city and R. E. Gam of Anniston, presi- dent of the State Federation of Labor. spoke of the plan. Both the speakers out lined the general benefits which would accrue by adopting the plan, and there seemed to be considerable favor created for the scheme.
 MT. Johnston pointed out at length how the system worked and the success that had been obtained in various cities of the country. He referred to the present sys- tenn where, it is said, workingman gets in the clutches of the loan shark and is held there for an almost endless time. It is stated that the Chamber of Commerce has not indorsed the scheme one way or the other, but is interested to the ex- tent of getting all possible information upon the subject.
 President Gam of Anniston said there was no question but what the working men would look with great favor upon the plan and would enter heartily into sup porting 1t.
 The luncheon was attended by a very Representative gathering of Chamber of Commerce boosters, who were very much interested in the speeches that were made. Ii is probable that active steps will be taken to put into effect the scheme out lined yesterday at the luncheon by gen. eral circulation of the shares of the pro- posed bank. in order that no interests or individual could secure any great infiu- encc in the management of the organiza- |

In the presence of the largest gathering lodge, Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson. congressman from the Sixth district of Alabama, received last night the three ranks of the order of the Knights of Pythias in Jefferson Valley lodge
 The large lodge room In the Fraternal hall was entirely too small to accommo- date the crowd, for not only were all prominent members of the order from over the state were present
 The ranks were conferred by a speci- ally selected team which included some of the best posted Pythians in the state, and the beautiful and instructive lessons taught in each rank were impressively and forcefully exemplified
 Grand Chancellor Cobb. who was pres ent last night. gave a special dispensa- tion in order that all the degrees might be conferred in one night. This is only done in a very few instances and only under exceptional circumstances.
 Captain Hobson was met by a commit tee from the lodge as he came in last night from Tuscaloosa, where he has been attending the commencement exercises at the university. He was escorted to the lodge room in the fraternal hall, where he met many personal acquaintances.
 II is very doubtful if during his spec tacular political career Captain Hobson ever received so many assurances of friendship.

 'sThe most astounding fact revealed by this report is that 41 counties or the state for the year 1910. and no doubt Tor every year. are feecing the other counties or the state, and that they actually receive more money from the state In pupnc school and pension funds than they pay to thn state for all purposes; and in addition they get the benefits of state govern ment. the courts. judges, solicitors and other expenses free.

Tired But Happy, Delegates Arrived Home Yester-
 day Afternoon
DID NOT FAIL TO
 ADVERTISE CITY
Publication of "Birminghammer' Calls for Hundreds of Congratu- lations-A Review of the
 Trip and Its Sidelights
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

remarkably successful trip, made for the purpose of spreading into every CO., ner of the United States the fame and glory of Birmingham, came to it's con- clusion yesterday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock when a bunch of tired though happy pill grims stepped from the platform of the Frisco.
 The party was composed of the Birmlng- ham delegation which attended the Dallas convention of the National Association of Advertising clubs. At the convention the delegation talked of and worked for BiI- mingham. As a result. many men who previous to the convention had heard of the Magic City of the south, but whose mental grasp of true conditions was not of the gripping variety, are today aware of the real importance and the unparal- leled future of Birmingham.
 The party entered the Terminal station bearing the placard presenting The Bir- minghammer, the three editions of that newspaper having been pasted together on the cardboard, and a bust sized pho- tograph of Oscar W. Underwood. This latter photograph was attached to the rear of the Pullman on the night the party left Birmingham. There 1t remained un- til dismounted following the arrival at Birmingham. The Birminghammer was borne on the jaunt through Texas fol- lowing the adjournment of the conven- tion

Eleven Counties Bear Burden

Taking into consideration the expenses OF the state government for the benefit of the several counties the report shows that for the year 1910 that II of the 67 counties of the state bore the entire burden of the state government for that year, and that SC of said counties received about s1 ,0OO, 900 more than they contributed, and Ii counties paid out about $700000 more than they received In cash for schools and pensions and their pro rata of other expenses.
 "The report shows that Jefferson coun- ty for 1910 paid 10 the state s699,l61 and received back in school and pension funds
