DIFFER WITH HUBBY?
YES, OVER SIZE OF HAT

That she has had more arguments
with her husband over the size of her
hat than were caused by her political
beliefs was the statement of Senator
Helen Ring Robinson, of Colorado, at
a parlsr meeting yesterday afternoon
in the home Of Mrs. Abraham Van
Wrinkle, of 35 Lincoln Park, president
of the Women's Political Union of
New Jersey. This was her reply to
query as to whether the fact that
she was elected on. the Democratic
ticket, while her husband is a Repub-
lican, caused any unfriendly discus
sion between them.
It would be just as logical to bar
women from religion in order that the
sanctity of the home might not be
married as it would be to bar them
from politics. she declared. She said
that not one of the judges of Colorado
had been able to recall an instance
where political differences had given
rise to matrimonial disturbances,
while religious differences had caused
many appeals for divorce.
Senator Robinson made strong
plea for the passage of the suffrage
bill in New Jersey in 1914. She de-
clared there were 10000 reasons for it
in the 10000 working girls in this
State. The speaker announced that
she really wanted to go to the SEN
ate. and the people who voted for her
sent her there not because she was
like a man, but because she was diff
ferent: because she incorporated a
woman's point of view in enacting the
laws.
Other speakers were Mrs. Minnie j.
Reynolds, legislative secretary for the
suffrage organizations of New Jersey;
Mrs. Van Wrinkle and Mrs. Stewart
Hartshorn. A social yhour was held
after the meeting.

CROWD DIDN'T LIKE
HOBSON'S TACTICS
Majority of Marion Audi
ence Left When He At
tackled Underwood

One of the most optimistic Underwood
men who has appeared here came to BIZ
mingham Yesterday from Marion with ,he
on,nion that out of 100 votes in sPerry
county Mr. Underwood will receive be-
tween 900 and 1000. The visitor is EdWard d
ID. Shrivers, who is a relative of Gen,
F.. w. Rucker and a widely known citizen
of Perry county.
He said yesterday that the voters OF
Perry intended to stand directly behihd
Underwood. He related story about
Captain Hobson's last speech at Marion,
delivered last Saturday night. 1t appears
from what Mr.. ShriVers says that about
rs persons were in the room when Hob
son started to abuse Mr.. Underwood The
positive and unbiased statement IS maue
that of the rs over so left when MI 'Hoo-
son began his TRADE.
Bobson was dumbfounded by the ac-
ton" said Mr. Shrivers. ''rhe moment
he started to abuse the democratic leader
some of Hobson's warmest supporters do
parted and it was generally understood
that he lost some strong supporters py
his unmanly abuse of Mr. Underwood.
."rhe people of our county are disin-
clined to dignity with seat in the
United States Senate a man who is SO
little as to throw mud at man OF I'm
derwood's spotless reputation and charac-
ter I believe with many others In our
CITY that out of the total 100 votes in
Perry county Mr. Underwood will receive
between 900 and 1000. That is said by
many conservative men to be rather
safe way to figure the landslide we In
tend to give Underwood. l hope that the
remainder of this state will do likewise

TO the proceedings of the conference.
Mr.. Leander Poole made very elo-
quent speech in support of Captain Kolo' $

Mr.. Bowman of Birmingham moved that
Mr.. Leander Poole be made the nominee
of this conference for lieutenant COVER
nor, which motion was seconded by my
self and several others and unanimously
adopted amid the widest enthusiasm I
ever witnessed in a democratic conven-
ton.
However, Mr.. Poole was so taken by
surprise that he asked the conference to
give him two weeks to think the matter
over as he holds a federal position and
was not sure whether or not it would be
prudent to accept the nomination fof
lieutenant governor while holding fed
eral position.
q Mr. Poole was granted the time asked
with the distinct understanding that he
is the nominee of the conference If he can
see his way clear to make the race fsr

NO DECISION ON
PETITION OF THE
BELL COMPANY
Judge Grubb Takes Matter
Under Advisement-LOng
Arguments Are Made by
Opposing Counsel

After hearing the arguments of con-
tending counsel Judge w. l. Grubb took
the matter of the Southern Bell Telc-
phone and Telegraph company against
the city of Birmingham under advise
ment. No time was set for the decis-
ion to be rendered as the attorneys de-
sire to submit documentary evidence to
Judge Grubb for his consideration. The
closing argument was made by ]. G.
Rich of Mobile, counsel for the Bell
company, after which the authorities
and papers In the case were submitted
to the court. 1t is understood the other
documents in the case will be filed at
once in order to arrive at an early de-
cision.
The hearing is the result of petit
ton by the telephone company in the
United States court asking that tenn
porary restraining order be issued di-
rected against the city of Birmingham
restraining 1t from resembling and
abrogating a former ordinance approv-
ing certain increases in the telephone
rates. Counsel for the company con-
tended that the city had no right TO
take that action and denied that the
telephone company had in any way
preached its contract.
The city through its attorney, Capt.
Roman Boyd, contended that the ordi-
nance had no authority in law and was
therefore void. He said certain legal
requirements had not been complied
with at Its passage. He also stated in
reply to the allegations of the com
pany's counsel that the telephone COM
pany had failed to show any substan
tial reason to apprehend refusal OF
the subscribers to pay the rates now in
effect
The various contentious We're argued
at length, Capt j. T. Stokley, local
counsel, opening the argument for the
company. He was followed by Captain
Boyd for the city. Hunt Chipley. gen
eral counsel for the company, followed.
