on this measure, Modern Grocer in a

the unfair competition waged by the
country's mail order houses is the
charge made by Illinois progressive

The remedy proposed by this cham
plon OF the small town retailer is con-
tanned in a bill proposed before that
house by the member from Illinois. By
It's provisions, the catalog house would
be taxed for the rural benefits enjoyed
by those concerns. The bill proposes
that the fund so raised shall be de-
voted to the building and Improvement

This will come as balm for many a

at the risk of being accused of look

before the real battle starts, the big

ENTER PRESS CLUB
Commissioners Absence From City
Responsible for Failure to Signify
Ills Acceptance Earlier

Culpepper Exum. president of the city
commission, accepted an invitation yes
terday to become a member of the Press
club and sent his check to the club for
his initiation fee. He was out of the
city when the invitation was mailed which
accounts for the delay occasioned as he
explained yesterday that he would not
allow anything to keep him from being
a member of the club to be located on
the top of the Jefferson County Savings
bank skyscraper.
Mr.. Exum said yesterday that he be-
lieved the Press club would be one of
the most popular organizations in this
city and would be, source of consider
able service and pleasure to Birmingham
citizens.
At the clubs temporary offices yester-
day the invitation committee issued tracer
letters on number of the invitations
mailed locally asking that replies in the
negative or affirmative be given without
delay.
The house committee of the Press club
will meet today for the purpose of award
ing contracts for china, silver and other
necessities for cafe. The bids for fur
nishing are coming in briskly and on the
whole details are in fine shape.

expected in Birmingham during the next
few days to confer with Percy Benners
q Burr relative to the casN of contempt
recently decided adversely to the presi-
dent and other members of the associa-
ton.
The association and the co-defendants
have only until September 81 to appeal
from the decision of Judge Grubb, who
fined Mr.. McLaurin and members of the
association. Walker Percy of counsel for
the defendants who returned home yes
terday from his vacation, said last night
that Mr.. McLaurin was expected here
shortly to go over the proposition and
that nothing had yet been decided. He in
dicated that until Mr.. McLaurin reached
birmingham and the situation had been
gone over, nothing final would be de-
cided.
Mr. McLaurin, it Will be recalled, was
fined as president of the association for
violating the restraining order of the
federal court as We're other officers of
the association. The associat ton as a cor
poration was also fined. 1t is yet to be
decided whether the defendants shall ap-
peal or whether the fines are to be paid

Mrs Cillia Lutes Butler, charged with
the murder of her husband. r. r. Butler.
was held probably guilty as charged by
Judge H. b. Abernethy Of the court of
common pleas. and was bound over to
await the action of the grand jury with
out bond.
The preliminary trial before Judge
Abernethy was commenced Monday after
noon and was concluded yesterday. As
there We're no eye witnesses To the shoot
Ing the state relied principally on dying
statement made by the deceased In which
he declared that he was shot by his wife
after few words about a divorce thae

For the first time since the killing Mrs.
Butler gave her version of the tragedy.
which was to the effect that Butler came
to her house and commenced to abuse her
and that when she refused to consent to
live with him again he pulled a pistol and
attempted to shoot her. She claimed that
she grabbed the weapon, and in the strug-
gle II was discharged with the fatal ef-
feet.
Mrs. Butler was defended by Attorneys
Harsh and Beddow and eloquent pleas
were made i'm her behalf. but Judge Aber-
nethy held that probable cause in her
guilt had been proven and bound her over
without bail. She was taken to the county
Jail and as the grand jury is now in ses-
sion it is probable that her case will be
considered at once by that body and acted
upon.
