Total of $247,00O Has Been Invested During Past
 Few Weeks
TWO NEW DEALS MADE
 PUBLIC YESTERDAY
Pays S2666 Per Foot for 45 Feet on Twentieth Street-AsO Buys the Nolan Property on
 Fifth Avenue

In four real estate transactions made during the past few weeks. Maj. Edward NJ Tutwiler has invested s2f7o00, The last addition to his large real estate holding, some acquired long ago and others re- cently, is lot facing north on Fifth ave- nue between Eighteenth street and Nine teenth street, measuring 30 feet by 100 feet for which he paid s25,0Oo. The lot
 in question is familiarity known as the Nolan lot. directly across from the new postoffice.
 Major Tutwier during the past few days closed up a purchase on Twentieth street between Third and Fourth ave nues, calling for s1D000 in cash. That purchase was the Ingram lot, measuring 45 feet by 100 feet, now occupied by n brick three story structure. The lot is only two lots from the Traders National bank. It was purchaserd by the seller. R. D. Ingram, about eight years ago, for $32 600. or at d rate of $7l1 per front foot. The sale price to Major Tutwiler was S2666 per front foot. The property on Twentieth street is considered very fine investment, although the price paid by Major Tutwler caused an immediate jump when discussed yesterday among real estate men.
 Major Tutwiler has purchased the Enslen home, situated at the corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty-first street, for s25000. That plot Is now occupied by a large dwelling. which was formerly oc- cupied as the Enslen residence. The plot is adjacent to the rapidly growing Fifth avenue and will be very soon, it is be- lleved, of considerable more value than at this time.
 As published several days ago the prop erty of the Birmingham Transfer-Traffic company and the Kentucky Livery com pany, situated at the corner of Sixteenth street and Third avenue, was bought by Major Tutwiler for s77OOO cash That property was sold at very close price. it is held by experts.
 Major Tutwiler recently secured some money for investment and he figured out that no better or safer course remained open for the funds than Birmingham real estate. Conferences with Robert Jem- ison, Jr., his personal real estate agent, led to the sales above recorded The activities of Major Tutwller have caused a decidedly brisk movement fin real estate circles and many sales of more or less minor importance have been made on the strength of his investments.
 He said last night, in announcing his Investments officially, that he did not have any additional investments in view as he had quietly looked over the sit rot ton and placed bis idle funds in the places above outlined. It is probable that one additional investment of a consld- erable size will be made in bonds by Major Tutwler, after which he will not make any further trades at this time.

Liquor Dealers Organization

"The sheriff is also mistaken when he states that the liquor dealers have an organization and they assess their mem bes $12.50 each per month, which brings
 in an annual income of something like $l7000. The licensed dealers have an or ganization which they call the Jefferson County Law Enforcement league, and I understand they assess their members certain amount monthly, but 1t is not my underst tanding that it is any such sum that mentioned by. the sheriff. But the funny part about this is that the sheriff called on the president. of this association and suggested that he knew that his association was not getting proper results with their detective, and if he would
 turn this fund over to him dhe sheriff
 he would get results. The sheriff also suggests that this detective had not CO., operated with him, and will say that this is true and that the association had sufficient reasons for pursuing this course; but this detective has been .o- operating with the United States revenue officers who have been here doing some work. and will also say that this detec- tive did not set out to cooperate with

Commissions Reply

Under date of November 3 I answered this letter as follows
 MT. j. W. Tuggle, Palos;
 Dear Sir-We have your letter of the 1st, and note carefully the contents of the same.
 The facts set forth by you show a deplorable state of affairs, but this con dition has been existing all over Jefferson county. and we hope to remedy the mat ter, but we must do this at this end by forbiddihg the wholesale dealers 10 sell to these people and thereby cut off their mode of supply.
 a1f we started out to run after every blind tiger in the county we would have a big job on our hands, and besides this, our duties are not police duties, or the duties of the sheriff, but if these things are existing as you say, in the interest of regulating the sale of whisky in the eoun- tyl we expect to see that they are discon- tinued if we have to call on the goyer- nor for help.
 v cain the meantime, if you are in the city at. any time we will be glad fl you will call and talk with us about this mat ter. Yours truly, W, C. AGEE,

Letter From Palos


 "On November 1 we received the follow ing letter, dated Palos, November l, l9ii. " TO the Honorable Excise Commission or Jefferson County Birmingham:
 Dear Srs: l have been told that you gentlemen have control of the sale oi whisky in Jefferson county, and 1 am writing you to inform you of the illegal sale of whisky in Beat 19, Jefferson coun- ty There are three open saloons here at Porter mines, Bessie mines and Palos mines and these places are certainly a public nuisance, and if you gentlemen can do anything for us, we will certainly ap- preciate 1t.
 Now, gentlemen, please do not refer this letter to the sheriff If you all haven't got anything to do with the illegal sale of whisky, do not let McAdory know any thing about this letter. for I have written him a letter and he gave it to the deputy out here, and he showed 1t to all the hop jack men, and they have threatened to kill me, and they might bushwhack me. v,' John Moore and Jim Sullivan are the men that are running these places, and John Moore has got three barrels of whisky in the cars at the depot now. Jim Sullivan got three barrels of whisky Mon day, and there Is 50 barrels of empty bot ties sitting on the platform of the depot now They handle at the three places about three carloads a month. l can prove this by any number of men out here Yours truly, J. w.

SHUTDOWN TO sE COMPLETE.

Iowa Operators Reject Uitimatum OF
Minors Regarding Repairs.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March % The coal
mine operators today turned down
what the miners say is their ultimatum
in regard to conditions under which
coal mines will be kept open after
next week. The miners had proposed
terms under which :he mines will be
kept open and in condition for i'm
mediate resumption of work pending
the convention. but the operators today
insisted upon inserting q clause pro-
viding for additional employees to be
engaged in making improvements. This
will not be accepted by the miners and
therefore there is great danger of not
only a shutdown but complete aban-
donment OF the mines temporarily.

effort to see President Judson."
Did YOU see hin?" asked Mr.. Walk
er.
II don't know whether it was he or
not" she answered, but had tried so
many times to get an audience with
him, and each time l discovered that
there was so much red tape In the
process that it almost was impossible.

tute 1 became desperate and rushed
into his office"

! But Miss Mercy could not be certain
that II was the president whom she
had seen, for the man. she said. would
not talk with her for any length OF
time.
President Judson, for Gods sake
do something to help met l screamed
said Miss Mercy. Miss Talbot has
called me "A prostitute. Can't you help
me Just little? Can't you give me the
opportunity to prove to her that she Is
wrong?'"
He seemed very busy all at once
and fumbled about on his desk after
papers And then l was grabbed by the
arm and enthusiastically pulled-from
his room"
Miss Mercy at this point rose from
the witness chair in excitement ana
tears sparkled in her eyes.
Then came Miss Mercy's last state
ment during the day. 1t was In re1er-
ence to the alleged conversation that
took place between her and Dean Tal-

"Where are they?" she Is said to

II don't believe that they over were
stolen Where are you getting the
money with which to pay for that ex-
pensive coat you are wearing? why
don't you confess and admit to me that
you are receiving money from men?
Let's talk as woman to woman. Aren't
you getting money from men?"

MED this charge and declared that her
uncle in Vienna had been sending
money to her To which Miss Talbot
is alleged to have answered:
You lie when you say that. What do
you mean by coming to this university
when you have n needy family to sup
port? don't believe that you are send
ing them nickel. What do you mean
by entering mems rooms? consider
