CIVIL BILL
 SPLITS DELEGATION
Alabama Congressmen Have Different Views Regarding Appropria-
 tion for California

Washington, July 21.-(SpeciaL Jon the Senate amendment to the sundry civil bill. which provided an additional $500. coo for the San Francisco exposition. The Alabama delegation in the House were badly split today after the House had wrangled for hours over the proposition. California had been previously allowed $S00,000 and that after California members had promised that no government dona- tion would be asked or received when the plans of the exposition were first con templated.
 Representatives Underwood. Burnett. Blackmon, Abercrombie and Harris voted against the appeal of California for fur ther treasury assistance, Representatives Dent, Heflin and Mullzey yielded to the pleadings of their colleagues of the west and voted for the s50O000 donation. Rep resentatives Taylor and Captain Hobson were not present
 Because of the already heavy appro- priations of the present Congress. it is declared that there is a fair chance for the defeat of the rivers and harbors bill which may be allowed to lie over until the next session. A vigorous fight against the measure is being waged in the Sen ate and may result in it's defeat unless the committee voluntarily withdraws the measure.

MORE MONEY FOR
 PUBLIC LIBRARY
Additional $2OO0 Appropri- ated by City Commission
 Yesterday

An additional appropriation of S2,@o was yesterday made by the city commission CTS for the city library system.
 The letter of the library board asking for the appropriation is as follows:
 July s, 1914 ? .The Birmingham library board hoped and expected to make the $lo,ooo appro- priation for the public library for the year ending September 90. 1914, cover all expenses. and on that basis we prepared a budget of expenses near the beginning of the fiscal year.
 But we have not been able to hold ourselves down to the figures in that budget as we reported to you sometime ago. for the following reasons;
 "1 Because there have been neces- sarv expenses which we could not fore see. due to the fact that there were no records of previous years on which to base our estimates, and that the board had no previous experiences in work of this kind on the scale which has been found necessary to meet the demands upon the library
 "2. Because it was found necessary to incur some expenses, not included in our estimates. previous to the book fund campaign in order to establish record for excellent service and thus to make the library known to the people We believe the results of the campaign justi- fled these expenditures.
 .'ss Because there has been a more rapid increase in the use of the library and a larger number of books added than we had even hoped for, which meant demand for more service and more as- sistants Since January l. 1914, there has been a 50 per cent monthly increase in use, as compared with the same month in 1913, and the books bsing purchased now are sufficient to keep two people busy all the time cataloging, whereas, last year there were scarcely enough books being added to keep one person busy half the time.
 "The library board has been econom- ieal and conservative. We believe that have not made an expenditure of a single dollar that would not have re- ceived your approval if you had been acting with the board. We dare to hope also that the increased use of the library by the people, resulting from such ex- penditures. is source of some satisfac-' tion to you.
 sThe result of it all is, however, that we find ourselves without sufficient money to complete the fiscal year. The expense from October l. 1913, to June 30 1914, has been $S,5l326 There are now bills payable for $12251. This makes total expenditure to June 30 of $S 63577 'The estimated expenditures for the re- maining three months is s3,343.49. There will, therefore, be need for a deficiency appropriation of $1,91.31
 Respectfully submitted.

Puerto Mexico July 2l-The colony of relatives, friends and former officials of President Huerta here awaiting means of transportation abroad was further in creased today and tonight numbered 9a Among them is Dr. Ignacio Alcocer, for mer minister of the interior, who is pes- simistic regarding the immediate future of Mexico. He said today he could see no prospect for an immediate cessation of fighting
 Dr. Alcocer characterized President carbajal as weak man. He said he thought the President would do all he could to transfer the government at the earliest possible moment to General Car ranza or to any other man the consti- tutionalists select Of the prospects of peace the former minister of the interior said: Tn my opinion it is more than probable that one revolt after another will disturb Mexico and peace will come only when some man sufficiently strong and who has the good fortune to have the moral backing of the United States is found-and men of that type are not often found--or when some outside power enforces peace. And should the day of intervention come in that day all Mexi- cans will unite to repel it. This notwith- standing the growing opinion abroad that many Mexicans would welcome invasion by foreigners"
 Nemesio Gracia Naranjo, former min ster Of instructions, was another member of lluerta's cabinet to join the refugee party today.

 Had the players struck, 1t is doubt ful if one-half would have followed the command of their leader. Frank Chance declared that eight out of ten of his players would not heed the call Muggsy McGraw said his Giants would not join in the movement, while Connie Mack's Athletic appeared op- posed to the strike. Pittsburg players were strong for the terms of the ulti- matum, while the Chicago Cubs. St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland and Cincinnati clubs were evenly divided on the matter. Detroit was almost solid for the move
 In the Southern, fewer players would have backed the fraternity. The Barons did not make a statement concerning the matter, for it was set tied amicably before any action was decided upon. However enough play CTS in the majors would have joined in the movement to make matters em- barra ssing.

LARUE KIRBY JUMPS
 TO ST. LOUIS FEDS

Mobile, July 21.-LaRue Kirby, Mobile outfieder, has jumped to the Federal league today signing a contract to play with the St. Louis Federals. Through a Federal league agent, who has been in the city several days, Kirby signed for a bonus said to have been $4O00. He leaves tomorrow night to join the St Louis club.
 The Chicago Nationals offered $10,000 for Kirby. but Manager Bris Lord was holding him for the Boston Nationals. Kirby led the Southern league for awhile this year in hitting, but has recently slumped and is now batting .S19. He has played in 8 games scoring 116 hits and 42 runs in 364 times at bat.
 Kirby is a natural hitter, although he is far from a finished major league fielder. The big fellow was given to Mo- bile by the New York Nationals at the beginning of the season, but at that time Kirby played as a pitcher. He was con verted into an outfielder.
 His assertion will doubtless prove a
 hard blow to Mobile, following Miller's disablement for the season. He was a dependable hitter on the Mobile club.

Baugh Winner Over Houston Davis Tn Final Round of Golf Tournament-Match Decided At Eighteenth Hole
 Other Flights Finished
By ASA RoUNTREE, JR-

Robert H. Baugh won the city golf title yesterday afternoon from Houston Davis in the final round of the Birmingham golf championship tournament played at the Rcebuck Springs Golf and Automobile club, up after a fight that went the full IS holes and for a time seemed des- tined to go into extra ones.
 Steady playing Baugh's part was largely responsible for his victory. Throughout the entire match he played a steady game, and even when the tide of battle was going against him continued steadily.
 The playing of Houston Davis was at times sensational, and during the after noon he registered two drives of better than 300 wards. and several very unusual butts. One of these was for 30 feet, and enabled him to halve a hole with Baugh after he had driven out of bounds and was one stroke behind Besides this. he recorded duo of 9 feet butts and another of 20 feet. Baugh also made several good puts. |.
 The greens yesterday were exceedingly fast, and the players found it difficult to gauge with any great degree of accuracy their shots on them.
 The results of the other matches were:
 Second flight Frank Hewitt defeated David Roberts, up and to play.

ming out, 1 up when his opponent threw away a luscious chance to even up the score at the eighteenth hole aft CT Baugh had putted too hard and the ball rolled past the hole.
 For the first nine holes Davis out drove Baugh majority of the time, frequently covering from 270 to 300 yards. However, in the latter part he became rather cratic and twice was guilty of driving out of bounds. once after he had finished the thirteenth hole and the other at the conclusion of the seventeenth.
 Only five holes were halved these being the fourth, eighth, tenth, twelfth and eighteenth. The others all went to either Baugh or Davis.
 Davis inaugurated the match by driv- ing off the tee first and later talk ing the first hole. Baugh evened up the score at the second hole. but again fell behind when Davis made the third hole In two. one less than par The following hole was halved and at the fifth Baugh again overhauled Davis.
 The succeeding two were divided, Davis taking the sixth and Baugh the seventh, and the score remained in a deadlock. The eighth hole was halved, but Davis again went into the lead by annexing the ninth hole and the last going ou. by making it in 5, this being par.
 Coming in, the tenth hole was halved and the eleventh went to Baugh. mak- ing things even again. Then after halv- ing the twelfth Baugh lost the thirteenth, but again rallied and took the following two holes. the latter putting him into the lead for the first time.
 Davis overcame the lead by winning the sixteenth The seventeenth went to Baugh and this was the turning point of the struggle. After driving out of bounds. Davis threw away an excellent chance to tie the score again at the eighteenth hole and allowed Baugh to halve it and take the championship. The playing of both was at times very good and par was equaled nine times and made in less once Baugh equaled par five times and Davis four times.
