UNDER WAY
TO RAISE FUND FOR
FREE D|SPENSARY
DR.. Denny Confers With
Local Men About Need for
Adequate Free Medi-
cal Treatment

In order to confer with DIR. Lewis Cole
man Morris in reference to the construc-
tion of proposed $4,000 free dispensary
in conjunction with the State university
medical activities here, DIR. George IL.
Denny, president of the University of Ala
bama, was here yesterday.
With DR.. Morris and few others in
terested in the question, DR.. Denny went
over the details of the plan and said he
believed that within short time a definite
step would be taken looking to the So
licitation here of necessary funds. The
plan as 1t Is now worked out contemplates
a campaign starting some time within the
next few weeks in order that the public
may become completely educated as to the
purpose of the free dspensary building.
The campaign will be launched. it is
said, with the greatest publicity and every
effort will be made to so handle the cam
paign as to leave nothing unsaid which
may lead to correct Judgment of the sit
uation. 1t was stated yesterday by Dr.
Denny that all of the leading cities of
the country operate such free dispensaries
and that Birmingham more particularly
needs one because of the great influx of
persons looking for work and the indus
trial population.
DIR. Denny is very hopeful over the gem
eral plan and believes that the required
amount will be subscribed in this city

Guilty of Embezzlement of
Clients Funds

cused of converting to his own use money
collected for a client. He entered a gen.
eral denial of the charge and In lengthy
statement to the jury detailed the entire
transaction. He stated that malice
prompted the prosecution. Circuit Solicitor

BIRMINGHAM NEEDS
NO NEW LAWS FOR
RACE SEGREGATION
Exum and Lane Against 1t
and Weatherly introduced
1t Only at Outsiders
Suggestion

Although the city of Baltimore, accord
ing to Associated Press dispatch yester-
day, has adopted a segregation ordinance
to keep the white race and the negroes
from living in the same block. it appears
that a similar ordinance which has been
before the Birmingham city commission
for some time will not be adopted. Com
missioner Lane and President Exum have
both stated they are not in favor of 1t
and although the ordinance was intro
duced by Commissioner Weatherly he,
too, has stated that he neither indorses
nor opposes it.
Judge Lane stated some time ago that
he was opposed to the ordinance pri-
stitutional and President c. Exum said
last night he was opposed to it because
he believes it unnecessary. II believe
that the negro of Birmingham knows his
place very well, and that he is not going
to encroach upon residence districts oc-
cupied by white people," said Mr.. Exum.
Believing that, I can see no rea-
son for the adoption of the ordnance and
therefore believe that IL Is unnecessary
in Birmingham"
When Mr.. Weatherly introduced the or
dinance some few months ago he stated
it had been suggested to him by outside
persons and that he merely introduced it
for the consideration of the commission.
1t has never been called up for action
since. In brief. the proposed ordinance
provides that it shall be unlawful for
white people and negroes TO live in the
same block, and that the city shall be
divided into white and black blocks, the
status of each existing block to be de-
termined by the color of the majority
of its residents.
The Baltimore ordinance must be almost
identical with the proposed Birmingham
ordinance. The dispatch from that city
follows:
Baltimore, September pa race segre-
cation ordinance was passed by the city
council late Thursday. Mayor James H.
Preston had left the city hall and the
document was taken ito his residence,
where he affixed his signature to 1t.
This is said to be the first time a
mayor of Baltimore has signed an ordi-
nance outside of the city hall.
THE measure has the following title:
An ordinance to prevent conflict and
ill feeling between the white and colored
races in Baltimore city, and TO preserve
the public peace and promote the gem
eral welfare by making reasonable pro-
visions requiring the use of separate
blocks for residences by white and col
ored people, respectively "

BIRMINGHAM TRUST IN
NEW ANNEX TODAY
Understood That Structure Is Tenn
porary and Will Ultimately Give
Way to Big Skyscraper

The Birmingham Trust and Savings
company will open this morning a brick
annex facing Twentieth street which is
admittedly a temporary affair and which
was imperative on account of crowded
lobby space in the old structure. This
space. 1t is said, will take care OF the
accounting departments and will give. the
necessary lobby space. The building, it
is said, was erected to serve only three
years.
II is stated that the Birmingham Trust
intends to surpass in bank structures any
proposition launched here in many sears.
Moreover it is said that three years will
also be sufficient time TO get q fair line
on the general future of Birmingham, and
that time will be soon enough for the
Birn,ing ham Trust to start the biggest
bank building in the whole south.
The officials of the bank have made no
statement in connection with their build
ings plans.
