ly northeast and pass into the ocean by
Thursday night, accompanied by rains
and shifting gales and followed by fair
and much colder weather. The weather
Friday will be fair throughout practi-
cally the entire country"
A repetition of the flood in the Ohio
river experienced in January of this year,
with a probable stage at Cairo of at
least 30 feet within the next 10 days. is
indicated, according to the weather bu-
reau experts. The crest stage of the
Mississippi may slightly exceed % feet
by the end of the week. Additional re-
ports confirm earlier indications of heavy
rains on the watersheds of streams In
Kentucky and Tennessee which enter the
Ohio river from the south, but the pre-
eipitation north of the Ohio Wednesday
was not heavy.
Definite stages in the Mississippi be-
low Cairo, the bureau said, could not
be forecast tonight but with the water

very greatly in excess of the stages ex-
perienced in February seemed probable.

O'NEA[ IS WILLING
FOR INVESTIGATION
Regarding Charge That
Rifle Range Camp Is Used
for Improper Purposes

Montgomery March 26.-- (Special.)-
If any person will file allegations with
Governor ONeal officials of the mill
tary department charged with operat-
ing a camp for immoral purposes near
the rifle range here will be tried by
court martial.
This statement was made by Gov
ernor ONeal Wednesday afternoon
when told that the staff correspondent
of a Birmingham newspaper had pub
aished a story about report that high
military officers had used the camp
for immoral purposes.
IT will order Adiutant General Scully
to make an investigation" said Cover
nor O'Neal, land if any person cares
to make formal charges against any
official a court martial will be or
dered."
The newspaper story was the first
intimation of Governor ONeal that
there was anything wrong or out of
the ordinary at the camp. Property
used by the military has been at the
camp long time said Governor
O,NeaI, "and it had been used by those
who attended rifle practice. Now. as
to charges that 1t has been used for
immoral purposes. / do not know, but
l will order an investigation and will
be glad to summon any official charged
with wrongdoing to appear at court
martial for trial IL the allegations are
made"
Dan Hudson, connected with the mill
itary department, conferred with Gov
ernor O'Nea4 about the charges Wednes-
day Afterward Governor ONeal said
Mr.. Hudson had told him that there
was no truth in the report.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-27

then argued in favor of the plan pro-
posed and the commissioners were
made aware, by the process of elmina-
tion, that IL they did turn down the
request, it would be due to their opin-
ion that there was, no need for vice
commission.
Concerning the evils in Birmingham,
Mr.. Wood declared that in the segre-
gated district there was unrestricted
sale of intoxicants. and that there were
individual dance halls. He then Of
fered the startling information that
many of the boarding houses of the
city had deEenerated into places of
designation.
In clinching his remarkable argu-
ment, he concluded: Il have brothers
and sisters growing up and each of
you have children. You are the con-
science of the city of Birmingham It
would be pretty broad to say that Bir-
mingham needs no improvement
Mrs. Spencer Last Speaker
Mrs. Spencer made the final talk.
She declared that for 20 years she had
been the head of an organization
formed for the purpose of protecting
girls and children. She stated that If
she desired she could tell story after
story for the purpo ; of making the
conditions real to the commissioners.
She urged the appointment of the vice
commission in order that the facts in
the Birmingham situation might be
brought to light and that the commits
sioners in case it was thought neces-
sary following the report of the vice
commission, might take whatever steps
in way of remedy they might think
wise.
Following Mrs. Spencer's statement,
DR.. Eaves presented each of the COM
missioners with the copies of the pro-
posed ordinance which he desired con-
sidered and acted upon favorably by
the board, and which the commission
ers now consider most remarkable
document in view of the fact that
they think Birmingham a pretty fair
place in which to live, after all.

We are contributing our theatres and

pect no opposition from the city commis-

of the Motion Picture Exhibitors League

Not only in Birmingham will the NOV
ing picture exhibitors endeavor to secure
funds for the relief of the refugees of
the floods of Ohio, but throughout the

advices that this plan will be followed
throughout the country by the moving
picture exhibitors and we expect to raise
thousands of dollars for the unfortunates
who are now homeless and starving in
the devastated districts of Ohio and In

"The efforts of the moving picture ex-
hibtors to aid the sufferers in the devas-
tated districts must, as a distinct propo-
stion, merit the approval of all people, .
said the Rev. j. S. Foster last night In
their sufferings they appeal to the SYM
pathies of everyone and / can scarcely
conceive of anyone being unwilling to
make a contribution to assist in alleviat-
ing their distress. 1 should be pleased
to learn that some organization or per-
son had consent to act as an agent in
receiving and transmitting relief funds.
Believing your inquiry to me to have
reference solely to the Sabbath feature
of the matter I must say Sunday shows
with amusement as the condition of the
benefaction do not favorably impress me-"

SO much desire. the reason assigned be-

by way of Hueytown would take at least
80 minutes longer time to make the trip
than with a more direct route. How
ever, the company gave out the informa-
