DIR. GROVE SPEAKS
VERY HIGHLY OF
TWO CARRANzAS
Thinks If Rebels Could Get
Arms and Volunteers Be
Allowed Trouble Would
Soon End

With personal acquaintance with We
nustiano Carranza and his brother, Jesus,
and an intimate knowledge of men and
conditions in Mexico, it is probable that
Dr. G. b. Grove, who is now in Birming-
ham, Is better fortified to speak of the
national topic" than any other man in
Alabama.
DR.. Grove states that the Carranzas are
not to be confused with bandits, cut
throats, desperadoes soldiers of fortune,
or soldiers for spois. on the other hand,
he says they are two wise and brave
men, imbued with patriotic love for their
country.
It is DR.. Groves idea that should the
United States permit the importation of
arms into Mexico, and permit volunteers
without restraint or approval from this
government, to cross the border and join
the Carranzas, the murderous Huerta
would be dethroned and possibly hanged
as high as Haman."
1T is possible said DIR. Grove that
the United States is contemplating lust
such move. l noticed in The Age-Her-
aid of this morning that Mr. Hale, a rep
resentative of this government, held a
consultation with Venustiano Carranga
head of the insurrectos, and a brave pa
triot who is fighting for Mexico, not him
self. Should this idea be borne out In
fact, and the rebels against Huerta be
permitted to acquire arms from across
the Rio Grande, and volunteers from
America be given an opportunity to 20
into. the old country, the revolution, in
my opinion, would be quickly brought to
an end This is what all the people de-
sire. 1t could be accomplished quicker
/, than should this government enter Mexi-
co with its army, and would result in no
great loss of American lives or enormous
expense to this country"
DIR. Grove has a gold mine and other
property in Mexico He knows the couri-
try. the men of the country. and is nat
urally deeply interested in the situation.
He describes the Carranzas as being nf
the Madero type-gentlemen-a con-
trasted to the type of Mexican represented
by Huerta.

Holcombe Not Indicted

The following telegram was received
yesterday by Sheriff W. X. McAdory from
Sheriff W. G. Spencer of Tampa, Fla:
",rhe grand jury here failed to indct
Columbus Holcombe You can release
him.
1t will be recalled that Holcombe. a
negro, was arrested in Birmingham ON "a
charge of being a fugitive from justice.
He was charged with killing two white
men at his home near Tampa. The ne
gro admitted the shooting, but contended
that he shot to save his own life.
He was given a preliminary trial in
Tampa and discharged and he stated was
advised by the authorities to leave the
state. His attorneys. Mcqueen s. Ellis,
sought TO have him released on habeas
corpus but Judge Miller. before whom
the hearing was had. declined to release
him. An appeal to the supreme court
was taken and Holcombe was held in the
county jail pending the result Of the ap-
peal. The Florida grand jury failed to
indict the negro and IL is understood that
he will be released as soon as the tele-
gram can be affirmed and that the APP
peal to the supreme court will be with
drawn,

TO CONTINUE EFFORTS
FOR AN EXTRA SESSION

Much disappointment was expressed in
Birmingham yesterday over The Age
Herald story yesterday morning. In which
it was stated Governor O'Neal had decided
not to call an extra session of the legisla-
ture. and the report was prevalent that
drastic steps will be taken in the near
future to persuade the governor to change
his mind
1t is believed here that Birmingham
and Jefferson county will suffer more
from no extra session than any other
community In the state, and there is a
determined effort on foot here not to al
low the matter to drop for a moment.
No particular shape was taken yesterday
by what it seems will be fresh entreaties
TO Governor O'Neal to call the extra ses-
sion. but several were discussed. One OF
them was train load of the most prom
inent and influential business and profess
sional men of the city headed by the city

GEORGIA VISITOR
LAUDS BIRMINGHAM
Thinks This City Is Much
More Progressive Than
Atlanta

Col. J. Santie Crawford of Rome, Ca,
one of the best known attorneys of north
Georgia, is in birmingham a few days
on business, lie has been here only
once in the past II years and as all visi-
tors are who stay away that length of
time, he was amazed at the greatness of
this city and the progress made since his
last visit. He was unusually interested
in the various new skyscrapers that have
risen to in the past few years.
Birmingham is one of the best looking
places that I have ever visited said
Colonel Crawford. II have often believed
that Atlanta was some town. but to see
Birmingham is to change that opinion.
Birmingham has it all over Atlanta In my
opinion. Not only from this point of
view Is Birmingham great, but from
every other way. / see more hustle and
progress here than most any place.
Everyone on the streets appears to be
engaged In some business which requires
haste. Then again in the shopping dis
trict l have been impressed with the
beauty of the ladies passing by. Few
cities can claim ANY advantage in that
respect for it seemed to me that the
beauty of the whole south was concen-
trated in one block of Birmingham yes
terday''
Il hope" continued Colonel Crawford
getting into politics. that the people
of this state will elect Underwood. In
our state I believe he would get a i'm
mense majority. We think that Under
wood more than any one man has con-
tributed to the success of President Will
son and that Mr.. Underwood is entitled
to the honors of his home state / am
sure that the Thoughtful citizens of this
community will return Mr.. Underwood to
Washington, and not only that to the
upper house."
Colonel Crawford viii be here several
days.

fore Judge A. II. Aston, special judge
of the criminal court yesterday morning

answer questions In reference to gambling
conditions in Birmingham.

the bench and questioned him as to his
alleged refusal to answer the questions.
He then gave him until 2 o'clock to de-
eide as to whether he would answer the
questions or not and indicated that a
further refusal would mean a Jail SEN
tence. AT o'clock the defendant ap-
peared before the court and again re-

should go, Miss Fancy will take it to

one who donates 1t.
The elephant is used to having a pet
of her own, and 1t is usually a dog. In

near her, and she misses him very much
here in Birmingham. She will not love

to have a place for all Birmingham's chill

very own.

dren of this city for a pet. She Is Il

a body and pray the governor to give
Birmingham some relief in her financial
predioament and her fee system malady.
The members of the city commission
are disappointed, but they will say very
little. They had counted much on the ru-
mored extra session. Judge A. o. Lane
stated frankly that no extra session
meant further retrenchment i'll the city
government and stringent retrenchment
at that. I'VE want to go ahead to pro-
gress, If we can" said Judge Lane but
We'll have to so backwards unless we
get some immediate relief from an extra
session.
As TO further retrenchment in the city
government. City Commissioner Wealth
erly was reticent. He stated that the
commission had already decided to re-
trench in every manner possible and IL
couldn't do any more, whether there was
or was not an extra session. All of the
commissioners expressed the opinion that
renewed entreaties would be made to the
governor in the near future.

"Fancy's' in distress. In The Age-Her-
