Why this city should allow the great United States Steel corporation to put 8 tent on my lot with no objections what ever and then raise big fuss when a little Dago wants to sell popcorn and reanuts there and a Jew run shoot ing gallery. looks mighty funny to me; just because some fastidious people over at the Southern club want flowers plant co there don't carry any weight with me. Just you order me to plant flowers there and I'll take great pleasure in not dcing it," declared T. H. Motion before the city commission yesterday afternoon
 The use or non-use of his lot at the corner of Fifth avenue and Twentieth street, in front of the Tutwiler hotel by q shooting gallery man and a popcorn and peanut stand proprietor was the cause at issue. Mir. Motion had rented the lot to these two people and the city commission ordered them to get off be- cause they were violating the city law in regard to putting up frame struc- lures in the downtown district.
 MT. Motion had hardly concluded until President George Ward jumped to his feet, the hair on the back of his neck bristling like a bulldog. There was real scrap fin the air and a spectator had only to look at the president to see it.

 This time he showed his hands down into his pockets and spat right out over the reporters table.
 "I don't know exactly why I'm indulg- ing in this outburst myself" he finished. And I don't care whether MT. Motion plants flowers there or whether he don't. But I'll not give my consent to allowing those frame structures there"
 Once more he spat. this time right down between his feet. and sat down.
 The Age-Herald started this agitation and cry for planting flowers on that lot, ' said Mir. Motion. and l cleared it off with that intention. Conditions at present do not justify improving the property. I already have improved one property there and am not making per cent on the investment.
 But through this newspaper agitation this popcorn and peanut man came to me and l rented him one corner of the lot. Soon after the shooting gallery man asked for a similar privilege l need the rental money to help pay the taxes. This city commission allows similar structures on other vacant lots in the city. You have voiced no objection whatever to the tent of the steel corporation. l am not asking for any special privileges; all I want is what other people are getting"
 After considerable more argument and repartee from both sides of the contro- versy it was decided that the commission would go to see the lot and the popcorn and peanut stand and the shooting gallery and decide the question at an adjourned session this afternoon at o'clock.

PARTNERSHIP CUTS
 THROAT WITH RAZOR
Begs Ambulance Men for Weapon With Which "To
 Finish Job"

Boys, if you'll give me a gun, you won't have to take me to the hog pital."
 Thus spoke William Blankenship, aged 40 years, n real estate man of ocala, Fla, who slashed his throat with a razor yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock on top of Red mountain near the water tank on Arlington road. The words were spoken to Walter Britain of Lige Loy's ambulance, and through out the trip to the Hillman hospital Blank enship implored the ambulance attaches for some weapon with which to finish the job"
 On his arrival at the Hillman hos pital Blankenship was recognized as the individual who several hours pre- : vious had inquired for knife or gun with which to kill himself Blankeil- ship at the time stated that he pre- ferred to kill himself at an infirmary so that if he failed of his object the doc tors could chloroform what was lerl of the human spark of him. As he came in the hospital on a stretcher yester- day afternoon he gasped:
 You all wouldn't do it. so borrowed razor and did 1t myself"
 At the inflrmary after an examina- tion of Blankenship's wound it was stated that he was in a very serious ccndition, especially the patient was making absolutely no resistance against the approach of death. Little hope Is held out for his recovery un- less Blankenship changes his point of view.
 In letters found on Blankenshlp nothing was discovered to indicate his sullen mania for suicide. He was well dressed and appeared to the police to be prosperous business man. As to the cause for his desire to end his life I3iankenship had nothing to say. He reiterated over and over again that he wanted to lend 1t all." and that he would be thankful to anyone lend ing him a gun or giving him q dose of poison.

STILES TAXES ISSUE WITH GEN. FERGUSON
 ON PENSION MATTER
Probate Judge Says He Did Not Return Citations Marked Not Found
 in My County

In reply to published interview of Gen. Fred S. Ferguson in Sundays issue of The Age-Herald. in reference to the dropping from the rolls some 100 pension CTS of this county. Judge J. P. Stiles of the probate court takes issue with the general in his statement that 75 letters sent to him to be forwarded to pensioners in this county were returned with the in- dorsement. mot found in this county"
 Judge Stiles states that he and his clerks made every effort to locate the postoffice letters were addressed and after exhaust ing all means to do so, returned about 4) or 50 letters to General Ferguson with the statement that they could not find their addresses.
 The letters sent out by General Fergu- son, who Is state pension commissioner, were to pensioners in Jefferson county whose war records were not clear. On failing to receive satisfactory answers the names of these persons were stricken fl om the pension rolls.
 In speaking of the matter yesterday Judge Stiles said:
 Relative to a statement of Gen. F. g. Ferguson of the state board of pension examiners, in an interview published in Sundays Age-Herald, to the effect that out of 2s7 citations to pensioners mailed forwarded to such pensioners, about 7J were returned to him with the ind ,rse- ment. not found in my county, General Ferguson must have gotten his returns mixed up Sometime In July of this year quite large lot of mail was delivered to me addressed to different parties In my care. Shortly thereafter received let ter from General Ferguson asking that l forward same to proper addresses.
 Never having been furnished with the postoffice addresses of the different pen sioners, this office had no such addresses, except in few instances where the pen sion warrant was mailed on hequest My self and clerks searched the directories and tax books in the effort to locate the parties, and where the address could be found mailed the notices as requested We failed to locate some 70 or 50 and re- turned them to General Ferguson with the statement that we could not locate their addresses.
 None were returned not found In my county as General Ferguson is quoted as saying.
 Between Major Graham, who handles the pension rolls, and myself, we know personally practically every pensioner in this county, but we did not and certainly were not expected to know their pootof- lice address, as over 95 per cent of the pensioners come to the probate office iii Terson to receive their pension

EXPORTERS DISCUSS COST OF HANDLING COTTON ID ENGLAND
Estimate Expense of Send ing It From Birmingham tO>Liverpool At $1.75
 Per Hundred

The article in Sundays Age-Herald by Ned Brace, in which reference was made to the difference in cotton quotations in Alabama and Liverpool has brought forth considerable discussion as to the exact amount that should be allowed for getting southern cotton to the Liverpool market.
 Birmingham cotton men preferred not to be quoted. but had no hesitation yes- terday in explaining fully the difference they pointed out that at this time it is larger even than usual, because of the war risk insurance which must be paid by the exporter.
 They figure that it costs about H.75 a hundred pounds to deliver cotton from Birmingham to Liverpool and all cotton is sold delivered on the other side. Here are the itemized figures on the cost to the local exporter of getting cottone to Liverpool:
 Deduct tare Qor bagging and ties) 6 per cent.
 Freight s5 cents per 10o
 Insurance (marine), Is per cent.
 War risk 1A per cent
 This makes total of about $1.75 per 100. In addition to this the Liverpool buyer does not pay for his cotton until delivered. It takes about 60 days to get the cotton over there and the exporter has the additional expense caused by tying up his money for that SO days.
 These figures are borne out by com parison of quotations in past years. For instance, Age-Herald files show that on October 20, 1913, year ago yesterday, middiing spot cotton was quoted in New Orleans at 1874 cents. while the same grade was quoted in Liverpool on the same day at 7.6Sd, which equals 15.59 cents. The difference is thus shown to be slight ly over 1% cents.
 Last Saturdays Liverpool quotation was 5.05d, or 1925 cents, but cotton men explain that this is purely an artificial price created to wind up old contracts. When the Liverpool exchange closed a committee was formed to fix the terms upon which pending contracts should be executed. This committee first fixed the price at 6.20d two months ago, and 1t has been reduced until it now stands at b0'd Mill men have protested that it should be even lower and 1t is claimed here that actual cotton on new contracts could scarcely be sold in Liverpool today for four pence.
 Among out of town letters received on the subject is the following:
 Tuscaloosa, Ala, October 19, 1914. To the Editor of The Age Herald
 In Sundays Age-Herald you remark as to the price of cotton in Liverpool being 10 cents for middling, making value of middling in Montgomery cents, which al- lows only lc for cost of shipping to Liv- erpool In selling to Liverpool you have Q deduct bagging and ties, which is ap- proximately 60 cents per 100 pounds; also Insurance war risk about 30 cents per 100 pounds, and other minor charges. mak- ing fully cents per pound which ac- cording to your figures would leave 8 cents in Montgomery for midding, but as Liverpool had big stock on hand when the
