Mosler said that the artists in New York recently held sale of donated paintings to help the French sufferers. A picture by MT. Mosler was bought by En- rico Caruso. which was the first sale made About $60o0 was raised through the sale in New York.

SENATOR bANKHEAD
 WINS HOTEL SUIT
Court Decides Accommodate tiOns Contracted For Were
 Not Received in Baltimore

The suit brought against Senator John H. Bankhead by Robert S. Downs of Baltimore, to recover $3500 in con- nection with the failure of the Under wood Marching club of Alabama to spend as large a sum of money with the St. James hotel Baltimore, as that club, through Senator Bankhead, had contracted to spend. was decided yes terday in favor of the defendant.
 The management of the St. James ho- tel contended that Senator Ban,Shead should pay an amount equal to that expended by the club and that which he had agreed the club would spend while attending the democratic con- vention in 1912. Senator Bankhead con- tended and by many witnesses was able to prove that the reason the club did not expend as large a sum as il had agreed to spend was due to the fact that the St. James was a miser- able substitute for a modern hotel. and that on account of lack of fdcili- ties, the members of the club declined to remain at the St. Jaes
 Benjamin Carter, we'll known Balti- more attorney, represented Senator Bankhead, while D. w. Baker, former United States attorney, represented the plaintiff. The case was one in which all Alabamians were interested, and especially the large number who at tended the convention. As many as 50 local people made depositions regard ing the accommodations offered by the St. James.

DR. SHAW ID SPEAK
 ONLY ON SUFFRAGE
Says Her Trip to Alabama Will Have Nothing to do
 With Prohibition Cause

The Rev. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, in letter to The Age-Herald, denies that she and Mrs Funk will have anything to say about prohibition when they make their tour of Alabama next month. Dr. Shaw says their remarks will be confined to woman's suffrage Her letter is as follows:
 Tn your issue of December 12 you an- hounce that in the near future certain female lecturers, among the number be- Ing the Rev. Dr. Anna Shaw and Mrs. Antoinette Funk would make several addresses in Alabama on votes for wom- en, and in the course of their remarks would say something relating to prohi- bition.'
 'The effort is consistently made to link of prohibition. The members of the rules committee of the House of Representa- lives have recently succeeded in achieving !. this when they report out together the Hobson resolution providing for national prohibition and the Bristow- Mondel res- olution providing for woman suffrage.
 Practically the two things have abso. 1utely nothing in common. We are sub uniting the issue of woman suffrage to the people of the United States on its merits. It is true that Mrs. Funk and expect to make some addresses in Ala bama on the subject of woman suffrage early in January, but we have no inten- tion of discussing prohibition any more than we would discuss the Panama canal or President Wilson's s currency reforms or any other issue. When we make suf- frage speeches we talk about suffrage and nothing but suffrage, as those who have heard can testify. May I ask you to correct the impression unwttinely afforded by your article? Very sincerely yours, ANNA HOWARD SHAW.

price on sugar today is about s5.25, as compared with the price of $8 quoted when the war fever was at its height several months ago. That price, however was abnor- nal, and in the nature of things could not last long. Many firms of Birmingham. including my own, cid not recognize such a high quota ton. Our judgment was fully vim dicated by the course of events on the sugar market. We are today sell ing IS pounds of sugar for SI to the retail trade on a credit basis. Many staples required for the Christmas dinner are very much lower than last year or a few months ago.
