BEATTY REPLIES TO
KELLEY STATEMENT
Declares Kelley Interests
Were Given Opportunity
to Build Norwood Link

In connection with the statement OF
W. r. Kelley of the Kelley interests
that the Kelley street car line had
never been given an opportunity of
building the Norwood boulevard line,
T. c. Beatty differed yesterday with Mr.
Kelley. The Birmingham Realty off
cial said that he went to Steiner Broth
ers, supposed to be the financial back
ers of the Kelley enterprise, and that
his proposition was not favorably
handled
The Kelley interests We're most as
suredly given an opportunity of build
ing the Norwood Ink said Mr.. Beatty.
'1 went TO Mr. Steiner personally and
he did not look with favor upon my
offer TO build the line Mr.. Kelley may
mot have been informed as to this visit
but 1t Is a fact Just the same. The
Tidewater was also given an oppor-
tunity of securing this line and | final
~ had to appeal to the Birmingha m
Railway, Light and Power company
and the commission. Had it not been
for the action that has been taken our
company would have furnished auto
mobile transfers for those citizens of
Norwood that have been denied car
service some time. The need for this
Service Is Imperative.

FRANCHISE GRANTS
EXPLAINED BY LANE
Rights Granted in Norwood
and Elsewhere for Short
BlOckage

That the people did not have "his num-
her, correct as to the recent grant of
small blockage franchise to the Birming-
ham Railway, Light & Power company
was stated by Judge A. o. Lane yester-
day. The statement was made that the
franchises granted in North Birmingham,
Norwood and West End were for short
blockage in somewhat Isolated territory
,nimproved and of small value as fran
chises and also applied for by the peo-
pie personally.
Il would not favor granting blockage
downtown at any such price, said Judge
Lane. That is certainly obvious to any
fair thinking citizen when it is recalled
that we have always charged high rates
in the business section and on certain
important streets for the franchises.
These grants are entirely different from
any that | have ever favored and were
handled for the general good of all the
people. 1t means development and that
means prosperity. Without these devel-
opments this city would not last very
Ieng. l think that the majority of the
commission has acted wisely in the prem
ises.'

SUIT |SF|LED TO
RECOVER PROPERTY
Birmingham Men Defend
ants in Suit Brought by
Mrs. ]. G. Eustis

Seeking to secure valuable stocks,
bonds and other securities to the
amount of $4,000 which, 1t is alleged,
is wrongfully and illegally held in
Birmingham by various banking and
financial concerns a suit was filed yes
terday in the United States court by
Mrs. John C. Eustis of New Orleans,
widow of the late John G. Eustic of the
same city.
The complaint was filed by Attorney
Louis p Bryant of New orleans and
names George Eustis of Birmingham
Otto Marx of the Marx Brothers, bank
ers; the American Trust and Savings
bank, W. w. Crawford, president; First
National bank, w. p. c. Harding, pres
ident. and the Title Guarantee, Loan
cad Trust company, e. J. Smyer, pres
ident as the defendants. 1t Is alleged
by the orator that certain stocks, bonds,
certificates and other valuable secur-
tiles, the exact description or amount
of which she cannot state, but which
she believes to be worth about $4,000,
are held by the defendant persons and
companies and that by right and law
they belong to her.
The petition sets out that the secur~
tiles, stocks and bonds concerned in
the suit were the property of the plain
tiffs husband, John G. Eustis, who
lived in New Orleans. and who died
January s. 1912. 1t is further stated
in the petition that some time between
1906 and 1912 the plaintiff has rea-
son to believe that her husband and
George Eustis Of Birmingham conspired
to get the stocks, bonds and securities
out of Louisiana in order that upon
her husbands death they would be out
OF her reach.
1t is stated that by the laws OF Louis
lana the plaintiff has the right to tho
ownership and control of this property
end that it was unlawfully removed
and is unlawfully being kept from her
and her adopted son, Clifford, who was
legally adopted by her and her husband
and who is over q years of age. The
rlaintiff claims that she is entitled to
enc half of her husbands entire estate
and to the control and ownership of
the other half as long as her natural
l!fe or until she remarres. She has not
remarked.
Subpoenas in the case were issued
to be returnable May 6. Answers to the
petition will probably be filed May
or 8.

COTTON CULTURE IS
BEING ABANDONED
Between Weevil and Floods
Mississippians Cultivating
Other Things

Between the boil weevil and the
floods, the people of Mississippi are in
rather pessimstic frame of mind ac-
day by s. r. Wright, collector of in
ternal revenue for the Alabama Mis-
sissippi district, and who has just re-
turned from a trip through the east
ern lsections of the latter state. Mr..
Wright's journey was in connection
with affairs of his office
Mr.. Wright stated that cotton cul-
tllre is rapidly being abandoned in this
section of the south. according to the
statements of the farmers themselves.
The boil weevil, ravages have become
so extensive that no returns can long
er be secured from raising cotton and
the farmers are turning their atten-
tion to corn, hay and other crops He
stated that from reports he heard the
cotton crop of this section had fallen
eff almost half from what it was a
few years ago.
"The people of Mississippi are very
much worried over the high water In
the section where was there has been
no floods yet this spring, but as the
crest OF the flood has not yet reached
that far south they are fearful that the
waters Will come back that far In the
western section of the state almost
everything Is under water now and the
crops have been ruined. The whole state
CT Mississippi is feeling Ihe loss and
everywhere 1t can be noticed in the
conduct and conversation of the peo-
pie.

LANE OPPOSES BOND
ISSUE FOR SCHOOLS
Fayors, However, Granting
Education Board Funds
to Meet Its Needs

That he favored granting the board
of education whatever money was re-
quired to meet its needs, but that he
had no idea of going into the millions
for new schools, was a statement yes
terday of Judge A. o. Lane as to his
position on the bond issue proposal
of the board of education. The con-
ference that was to have been held this
afternoon has been passed until to-
morrow morning by the request of the
board of education. The hour this aft
ernoon 1t was announced was not con-
venient to a majority of the memb ers.
This morning at 10 o'clock. is the hour
set now according to the latest an
nouncement.
The board of eduation through ex-
pert knowledge of the school situa-
tion here wishes the commission to
authorize a bond issue of $1,OO0,00O. a
close study with detailed information
as to the needs has been made That
sum is said to be the minimum to re-
1ieve the needs of Greater Birmingham.
Judge Lane says he will be willing TO
relieve the situation as represented but
that he does not think such large
sum is required.
What If the board of education says
that s1,50o,00o is needed?' Judge Lane
was asked.
Il will say that 1t is not needed
replied Judge Lane.
Judge Lane intends to safeguard the
treasury, and while he is not opposed
to correcting the reported Inadequate
condition, yet he does not approve of
burdening the tax payers with a large
bond issue. Mr.. Weatherly is not 8
spendthrift when 1t comes to the peo-
pies money and will also exert every
reasonable power to solve the situation
without spending great amount oi
money Although the commissioners are
conservatively inclined and cautious al
the same time the board of education
believes that it will be easy enough tc
convince the parent officials of the
absolute necessity of the bond issue
In the meantime from many sources
assurance have come that the bond
issue will be received favorably by
the people to solve the school require

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Makes Appeal for Sick Woman

To the Editor of The Age-e1rald.
win you please allow me to use your
columns for an appeal on behalf of a
poor woman, the mother of four little
children, who comes to the association
from point outside of Jefferson county.
She is an advanced and probably
hopeless case. Her people are without
means. If she goes back home she
will spread the disease among those
whom she most desires to protect. We
have no right to charge such a case
to the funds derived from Jefferson
county, but there must be many friends
who will be glad to share in the sup
port of this patient. No other means
exist outside of this association for this
lady. If any one Is interested, l should
be glad TO give details and shall be
exceedingly thankful for any aid. Yours
very cordially. GEORGE EAVEs,
Secretary.
