SUPREME COURT BARS WORTHEN FROM
 PRACTICE IN STATE

Montgomery, July 27.--(Special )-In view of the discussion at the recent meet ing of the State Bar association rela- tive to inethical practices of attorneys, considerable interest is attached to the decision of the supreme court in affirm ing the judgment of the Tuscaloosa coun- ty court in removing c. B. Worthen of Tuscaloosa as practicing attorney in Alabama. The courts decision was ren- dered at the close of tho special term last Saturday.
 The trial of Worthen resulted from pro- ceedings instituted by large number of Tuscaloosa attorneys, the charge against the lawyer being that he had violated provisions of section 63l2 of the code of 1907 in that he had offered to give a valuable consideration as an in- ducement to receiving certain legal busi- ness.
 In rendering decision in the case, the supreme court took up in detail the prin- cipal charge against Worthen. and held that the charge in full was sustained by the evidence. The opinion of the court was written by Justice Mcclellan, and was concurred in by Chief Justice Anderson and Associate Justices Sayre and deGraffenried.
 Inethical practices of attorneys in of fering some consideration as an induce ment to obtain claim or demand for the purpose of bringing suits was much discussed at the recent meeting of the State Bar association. which met in an nual session In Montgomery. Lawyers from Birmingham led the discussion. and but for the ruling of President Stevens of the association certain participants in the debate would have filed certain in formation regarding Birmingham lawyers before the association.

ALABAMIANS
 IN BIRMINGHAM YESTERDAY

Jackson county, declared yesterday that he was not at all on the anxious seat in regard to the forthcoming election.
 A democratic nomination in Jackson, he said, lis equivalent to an election as Il is in practically every other county of Alabama Jackson county is over whemlingly democratic. It gave Oscar W. Underwood magnificent majority. In the primary of April 6. Henderson re- ceived a plurality in his race for gov ernor, and May II, received a majority of more than 400 over R. B. Conner.
 Despite the fact that I was a candi- date. took an active part in the effort of MT. Underwood to acquire a seat in the Senate. While he was campaigning in Jackson, I went through the county with him. After the first primary, I accom- panied MT Henderson through Jackson.
 T feel that in the defeat of Hobson and Conner in one year, Alabama have a great deal of which to be proud"

NOT
 POPULAR IN TEXAS
Houston Lawyer Says Result of Saturdays Primary
 Generally Expected

'The complete rout of the prohibition
 forces in the state of Texas was fore
 gone conclusion" said Richard Abele, q
 lawyer of Houston, who was at the Tut
 wiler last night
 Tn the first place, on account or the
 great dimensions of our state, the people
 of Texas have acquired the habit of look
 ing at all matters in a broad way. We
 judge an issue by it's merits and are not
 easily swayed by the professional agita-
 tors who are generally found grinding
 their own axes.
 Tn the second place. the man whom the
 prohibitionists nominated, Thomo5 C.
 Ball. did not openly declare for prohibi- tion He declared that he would in the
 event of his election drive the saloons out of politics. In other words, he was on the fence There Is not a good man in any state would would not take meas- ures to drive the saloon out of politics. Prohibition in Texas Is not and has never been popular. We do not believe that it is through prohibition that the liquor traffic is regulated. And we pro- ceeded to elect an anti-prohibiuonists governor, and we voted down proposal to submit to the people the question of statewide prohibition. There is no more drinking. per capita in Texas than there is in Tennessee or Georgia, where state wide prohibition prevails. Nevertheless. the time is far distant when Texas will adopt statewide prohibition.
 MT. Abele predicted that on account of the disastrous defeat of the prohibitionists in Texas, they would not soon recover and that the effect of the reversal would make itself felt in other states of the south. He holds that the prohibition wave some years ago at its height in thu south was gradually receding.

PRESIDENT t. LOW
 IS SNONCOMM|TTAL Will Place Boards Request for Suspension Before the
 Underwriters Board

Astelegram was received late yesterday by Secretary William c. Radcliffe of the Chamber of Commerce from Presi- dent Clarence F. Low of the Southeast ern Underwriters association, stating that the request of the Board of Trade for a suspension of the increase in fire insurance rates would be placed before the executive committee and that he felt sure that the committee would be glad to assist in every way in improv- ing conditions in Birmingham to Justify a reduction in rates'
 So far the underwriters association has ignored the boards requests for sus- pension of the rates recently put in force, it Is said. stating in all communications that reduction of rates will be forth coming when conditions in Birmingham are improved to justify it.
 Although officials of the board do not discuss the matter, 1t is generally known that they have little hope of securing a suspension of the rate increase. All prep arations are being made to put up a spirited fight against the underwriters association, bringing up among others the question of it's legal status.

 know of It is so filled with improba- bility and almost impossibility as to be a joke which is rather trying this warm weather.
 No, l want this fight stopped. It is getting to be lonesome and l see no good reason why MT. Ward and Judge Lane cannot find a way out for the 5000 people that are paying the differences between the contract of 1888 and 97-C. "I think the company made mistake in sending out bills with the SIC rate and the rate of 1888 on the same card. I believe it would have been better pol icy for the company to have lost a little money and not have indicated by their action desire to chastise the con
 sumers Of course the company says
 this was not the reason, but that the
 court order necessitated that step. Their
 viewpoint is different from great many persons"
