 Institution

The officials of the University club an- nounoed yesterday that the recent fire at the club. which damaged one portion of the building considerably. had not caused any cessation of the club accommodations that all features of that institution were open to the members.

Unless Action Is FOrthcOm. ing Court Proceedings
 Will Follow

That he would give the Illinois Cen tral railroad and the Frisco lines an of flcial notice to start work on the Nor wood viaduct to be followed immediately by court proceedings if work is not start ed was a statement yesterday of Capt. Romaine Boyd. city attorney. His acton will be based on the resolution of the commission at the meeting Tuesday to the effect that the two roads are unneces- sarily delaying the viaduct and court proceedings should be started. Captain Boyd said he would give the two roads only a few days to indicate their will in the matter which would be followed by some court proceedings.
 'I will notify the two roads mentioned of the official action of the commission, said Captain Boyd But will give them only short time to begin that work. They have been hanging back for several months already. They must start work soon or indicate that we must force them to obey the ordinances of the city. In the latter event l shall file the neces- sary case and they will have to answer. The three companies were instructed to build that viaduct in February and the Southern railway has indicated willing ness to proceed. The other two lines have not. They will have to do something quick"

TOSTART MOVEMENT FOR A NEW HOSPITAL
Would Care for Those Suf. fering With Communica-
 ble Diseases

That movement for the establishment of hospital for communicable diseases will be started soon was indicated yester- day by Dr. Carl Henckell. who was a leader in the establishment of the Holy Innocents Childrens hospital. One meet ing has been held for the purpose of launching of the project but the sugges- ton that it be located in connection with the children's hospital was not viewed with favor by those interested in the movement.
 The interest in the hospital has in creased of late by reason of several very ugly events here. It is said that recent ly child suffering with a communicable disease was brought here and turned down by every hospital in Birmingham to whom the suffering child was taken in the arms of grieving parent. An operation was necessary. according to Dr. Henekell, and one of the foremost throat specialists of this city operated upon that child at night under an arc lamp in the streets of Birmingham. The child was thereupon taken to the Terminal and the parent was refused transportation to his home. The parent was forced to take an automo- bile and go to an outlying station on the railroad and there slip into the train with the suffering infant. Other cases. accord ing to pr. HenckeI. more striking than this one could be related of the hard ships undergone by parents with chill dren with communicable diseases.
 Dr. Henckell said that it had been sug- gested that the hospital be established outside of Birmingham on one of the hills about here and that idea was being worked up. The active campaign has not been started. but 1t is understood very lit- tie delay will be allowed on the pressing matter.

NEGRO DRUGGISTS
 LICENSE REVOKED
The Pharmacy Board Finds Lewis Guilty of Illegally
 Selling Narcotics E-Y

The state board of pharmacy, composed of Lawrence C. Lewis of Tuskegee, presi dent: Sam A. Williams of Troy, w. E Bingham of Tuscaloosa and w. P. Thom- ason of Guntersville held a session yesterday Ut the city hall and revoked the pharmacy license of I. g. Lewis, a Birmingham negro, on the grounds that he had violated the narcotic section of the state code prohibiting the sale of nor phine and cocaine. Lewis had been ar rested and was taken from the county jail to appear for trial before the board. He was returned to his cell after the trial was concluded. The state board has noth- ing to do with the civil proceedings of the case against Lewis: it merely revoked his license to operate a drug store and will prosecute him In case he should resume such business.
 President Lewis said: This Is only one result of the spirited campaign now being conducted by the state board of pharm- acy against the drug evil and other habits which are undermining the lives, health and happiness of so many people. We are constantly renewing our ener- gies in combating what we consider one of the worst evils of the age
 We are giving especial attention right now to drug stores which are operating without being in charge of registered pharmacist and we are almost daily swearing out warrants against offenders of this kind and the dope sellers"
 The members of the board came to Br- mingham especially for the Lewis trial, arriving yesterday morning and leaving for their homes last night. Mir. Lewis stated yesterday that the board was very much handicapped in its campaign to enforce the laws of the state coming under It's supervision by reason of the lack of funds.
 "All our expenses on such trips as this today to hear cases against alleged viola tors has to come out of our own pockets. That is We are allowed no appropria- ton by the state, our expenses coming out of the fund which we derive from collecting examination fees. which are 50 to each applicant, and annual registration fees, which are s1 to each applicant Our work would be greatly facilitated by an appropriation from the state.''
 MT. Williams and MT. Bingham ex- pressed appreciation to Gov. Emmet O Neal for their appointment. which has been of recent date. MT Williams and Mir. Bingham were not of Governor O Meals political faith.

HAVING TROUBLE
 IN TELLING PLACE w. H. Murphy Now Said to Be Probability for City
 Recorder

The commissioners are experiencing some difficulty in filling the position of recorder made vacant recently by the res ignation of Recorder Hugo Black. The position was to have been filled last Tuesday by the selection of J. F. Rob- lnson. young attorney of this city. but Commissioner A. O. Lane of the depart ment of justice said last night: T do not think Mir. Robinson will be an ap- plicant for the position" Further than that Commissioner Lane would not bS quoted.
 indications point to the selection of Matt thew H. Murphy, widely known attor- ney of this city. A large number of hAa friends have called on Judge Lane and presented his name. While under prom. ise to MT. Robinson, Judge Lane could not encourage MT. Murphy. but since Mir. Robinson has withdrawn 1t is believed that MT Murphy stands the best show of any applicant at this time. Judge Lano said last night that Clement Wood. now acting recorder will act in that capacity at least until the commission meeting tomorrow afternoon. but further nothing was known. It has been generally under- stood that Mir. Wood was rendered tho position, but preferred his work as as sistant to the city attorney over the re- cordership vacated by MT. Black. Judge Lane says Mir. Wood has not declined the position as rumors had it.

MRS. REID WILL RECEIVE
 PANTRY" EXHIBITS TODAY

audience will be permitted and ex- pected to come onto the stage and view this exhibit. It is not being placed with the idea that 1t Is to be viewed from the pit of the theatre. We want everybody to come up on the stage and get close and see what we've got.
 Another feature is that there will be exhibits of individual preserving done by Birmingham housewives. This is something we have never had be- fore in an exclusive Birmingham ex- hibit. and it will demonstrate what and how Birmingham people are pre- paring their own food.''
 No further word was heard from Harry Jones and his acquaintance com mittee yesterday, but rumors were free- iy circulated that certain parties had boasted of how they were going to the meeting Friday night with the deter imitation not to become acquainted with a single stranger. In connection with these whisperings was always heard the statement that Jones and his committee were contemplating GOV cring the advance of the light brigade with a rapid fire from the heavy artil- lery, and anybody that so much as hinted that he did not want to be in- troduced to anybody he did not happen to know would be dealt with in man. Ter not soon to be forgotten.
 The official programme of the meet ing will probably be given out today by Secretary Radcliffe, and will include reports by President John w. Sibley and MT Radcliffe, an address by Mrs. C. P orr. a report by the educational committee of the chamber, and prob ably one or two addresses by promi- nent local men.

Simp- son. president of Birmingham college, and addresses were made by the Rev. J. A. Bryan, pr Bell and others.
 The rededication of the seminary with the changing of the name to the Louie Compton seminary was made by Miss Hattie Morton. present head of the in- stitution.
