ROTAR|ANS TELL
 OF HOUSTON TRIP
Henley, Donnelly, Anderson, Frutticher, Shelby and
 Ward Make Talks

At the regular weekly luncheon of the at Rotary hall, the programme was given over to the returned delegates to the con- vention of the International Association of Rotary clubs. Among the delegates who made talks were John C. Henley, I. W. Donnelly, Tom Anderson, Edward F'ruitticher. and J. E. Shelby George B. Ward was a member of the local dele- gation to the convention at Houston re- gently and also made short talk.
 According to the reports of the dele gates, the membership of the Rotary clubs of the world last year was 10000. At the convention just closed 1t was shown that the membership now is 15,o0O and that in the United States there are Ill clubs nine clubs in Canada and eight in Great Britain, making a total for the world of 12S clubs. Practically everyone of them was represented at the conven- ton.
 The Rotarans left Birmingham with the intention of bringing back the 1915 convention of the international associa- tion It was thought, however, that 1t would be better to line up the conven- tion for the following year, and it was decided after leaving Birmingham not to make a very strong fight for the convention next year.
 Dr. H. M. Edmonds had been scheduled to make the invitation address, but was unable to be present, and John w. Sib- ley was selected to make the speech George B. Ward at the luncheon yester- day said that MT. Sibley did so well in presenting reasons why the Rotarians of the world should come to Birmingham in 1915 that the local delegation began to think the decision would be unani- nous to visit the Magic City in 1915 The executive committee of the lnternationa Rotary clubs will announce the conven- ton city later, however, and it is be- lieved it will go to San Francisco, be- cause the worlds exposition will be held there in 1915. and most of the Rotarians will want to see it.
 Mr.. Ward in his talk said that every one he met in Texas seemed to be a booster for Birmingham. All were boost CTS for their own home town, of course but Birmingham was we'll known, and all were agreed that next to the city 1T which they lived Birmingham was the livest city on the map.
 Bruce Kennedy, secretary of the Mont gomery Business Mems League, was the guest of the Rotary club at the luncheon yesterday and made a short talk. MT Kennedy Is himself a Rotarian, and was of ha Of Montgomery Rotarians entertained by the local clut at the newspaper club recently. That en- tertainment was declared by many to be one of the most enjoyable affairs ever held at the newspaper club. and was ir return to a similar entertainment given the Birmingham club in Montgomery.

NEW YORK BROKER
 IS VISITING HERE
J. w. Anderson Surprised At Prog ress Birmingham Has Made In 10
 Years-City Very Attractive

J. M. Anderson, representing one of
 the most prominent brokerage houses in Wall street, was here yesetrday. He
 was at the Tutwiler yesterday for lunch with Walker Percy and Commo-
 dore Oroutt. MT. Anderson is from Mis-
 sissippi but has been in New York sev-
 eral years. He has been in Birmingham
 only once before and that was 10 years ago. He was naturally very much in- terested and surprised in the changes
 that have taken place during his ab
 sence. He Is well known here and has
 been the recipient of many courtesies
 since arriving in Birmingham
 ''I am so much surprised that I real ly can hardly outline what I would like to say of Birmingham" said MT.
 Anderson yesterday. ''There is one thing, however. which I know very
 well and that is I intend to tell my friends in New York on every occa-
 sion what wonderful strides have taken
 place here during the past few years. It is almost impossible to believe that
 such changes as I am able to note in connection with Birmingham have | taken place in such short time
 This is big city and I fully be- lieve that 1t has only begun to grow.
 The Tutwiler hotel. which has just been opened. is credit to this community and to the south. have no hesitation in saying that the hotel would do credit | to New York. It is as handsome a hotel
 as one would care to see and 1t Is un-
 equalled so far as I know in this coun- tru bax Iap a. l,,t
 quite as elegantly arranged and fur nished.
 '1 am as deeply pleased with the Newspaper club located on top of the
 Jefferson County bank building. That
 club is a credit to the entire state and am delighted to find so attractive a
 place here It is simply incomparable.
 The newspaper men and their friends
 that made that club possible have ev- cry right to be very proud of It. I pre-
 dict for 1t long and successful life.
 The new skyscrapers erected here in
 the past few years are very good in-
 deed and show clearly that Birming-
 ham is a progressive place and one time passes on.
 "The residential sections of Bfr- mingham and the beautiful drives around this city are attractions that impress the visitors. It is to be re- gretted that everyone who visits Bir- mingham cannot be shown what Bir-
 mingham has in the way of homes and
 drives. Naturally Birmingham is rich ly endowed. The riches of this section in mineral way are such as to excite the interest of capital everywhere and the time is not far away when Bir- mingham will be easily the foremost
 manufacturing city in this section of the country"

COURT ID PASS
 ON CASE JULY 22
Solvent Credits Taxation Question Will Be Set
 tied At That Time

The state supreme court will sit in Montgomery July 2s and at that time will hear the solvent credit taxation cases brought up by two local corpor- ations and which Is being fought by several civic organizations jointly.
 Back Tax Commissioner Allen some- time ago sent letters to all the mer- chants in Birmingham, asking that they assess their solvent credits since 1909. The merchants object strenuously to paying taxes on their accounts collect able and reasonably sure of collection. The Board of Trade took up the mat ter and invited several other associa- tions to join with them in fighting the order of the tax commissioner. Funds were provided to carry on the fight In the courts, each merchant interested being assessed pro rata.
 The merchants claim that the tax is unjust. that it is double taxation and that, for the last named reason, 1t is unconstitutional. The province of the supreme court will be to decide as to the constitutionality of the law under which Commissioner Allen desires to collect taxes for six years back on the solvent credits of Jefferson county mer- chants. The statute Is said to be about 20 years old and was never enforced. George A. Blinn, 'Jr., of the civic or ganizatlons' joint legal committee so strongly urged the merchants to refuse to make assessments that few have done so. He points out that the mer- chant loses no legal rights by refusing to assess until the supreme court makes 1 it's decision
