 The former Birmingham citizen Is pres ident of the New York and London Finance company and since removing east has been very successful in many finan- cial ventures. He said yesterday that within two months he would bring to Bir- mingham a party of prominent English capitalists who intended to place a large amount of investments in the local min eral district.

BAN ON STORING
 COTTON IN STREETS

Montgomery, February 23.-tSpecial)- The board of city commissioners has placed ban on storing bales of cotton on the streets and sidewalks in front of warehouses. All cotton warehouse men in the city have been notified to dis continue this almost time honored GUS tom, and henceforth the streets of the city will be relieved of this blockade.
 The action of the commissioners was the result of numerous complaints re- ceived from residents of the city. Dur ing the busy cotton season in Mont gomery warehouse men have been in the habit of storing cotton on the streets and sidewalks in front of their buildings, which has left little room either for pedestrians on the sidewalk or for wag- ons and vehicles in the street

Montgomery, February 2S.-(Special)- The Alabama bird day book for 1912 has just been issued by the state de- partment of game and fish. The 1912 book is regarded as the most attractive that the department has just issued. The illustrations and reading matter are well selected, and it is expected that the pub lication will do much toward creating public interest in birds and their protec- tion

B. A. |. RIFLE TEAM
 IS IN THIRD PLACE
The Local Team of Indoor Marksmen Is Making a
 Great Record

In defeating the Warren, Pa, team by the score of 99O to 9S4, the Athletic club rifle team has slipped into third place in the Eastern league, passing both the Warren and the Cleveland rife teams. The only two teams in front of the Birming- ham club are the New Haven and the Bridgeport teams of Connecticut. Both of these teams are composed of profes- sional shooters.
 The Eastern league Is composed of 10 rife clubs-the Bridgeport, New Haven, Birmingham, Cleveland, Warren, Philadel- phia, Boston, Erie, Manchester and Port land. Nine matches were shot, of which number the New Haven team won all, while the Bridgeport lost only to the New Haven club team. The other teams strung along, with the Manchester team on the bottom.
 There are two large leagues, the East ern and the Western. In a very short while the champions of the Eastern league will shoot with the winners of the West err league pennnat It is probable that the New Haven club will defeat the leader of the Western league by smart margin. Each member of the New Haven team qualified some time ago for the United States team, together with shooters from all over the country. With over 90 men competing for the team.- every member of the New Haven team got on the United States rife squad.
 The Birmingham rife team Is composed of Anderson, Brown, Starnes, Mabry, Thomson and Flynn. It is considered the best amateur team in the league, although the Cleveland team will run it hard match. The members of the Athletic club are justly proud of the boys showing, and especially so when three members out of the five are schooling indoors for their first season.

 Dr. Saffolds speech was a very strong one, indeed, Heuexplained before he began that he was not going to resort to oratory to convey his message to the class, but that he depended for the strength of his words on their earnestness and sincerity. He set forth the duties of a man to his country to his fellow man and to himself. impressing upon his hearers the need for good citizenship. After pr. Saffold the class orator, Julian Strassburger, of Mont gomery delivered short oration befit- ting to the occasion

 CONFER ON WADUCTS

 ficials Soon

Hix. general manager; the Frisco through w. T. Tyler. general manager: the Louisville and Nashville railroad through B. M.

MT Weatherly planned to send out the letter to the noh-resident officials yesterday, but the illness of Secretary Scudder Ryail re- suited in postponement of the formal note.
 The railroads have offered to build the viaducts under certain conditions. They have never received any reply to that offer and there is some speculations as to the manner to be employed in reopenins the proposition.
