MORE ARGUMENT ON MARKET ORDINANCE
Weatherly Offers Amend ment, But Peddlers Still
 Object Strongly

The Weatherly market ordinance was given another round" by both sides to the question at the commission meeting yesterday and again passed over for ac- ton until next Tuesday.
 Mir. Weatherly explained his amend ments which would relieve the peddlers of home grown truck from the operation of the ordinance. and also would vary the blocks in size.
 The farmers and peddlersa of the city were represented in goody numbers. and were as strongly opposed to the ordinance as ever. Attorney l.. A. Prosch, repre- senting them. made another speech against the ordinance, stating it would in crease the cost of living instead of low ering it. Several of the farmers and pedders spoke strongly against the or dinanee, stating it would force them out of business
 Mrs. Julia Bishop defended the ordi- nance Judge Lane Is still strongly op- posed to It. MT. Weatherly states he will vote for it, and Mir Ward Is unde- cided since the amendments have been offered. Mir. Ward was opposed to the ordinance until the latest amendments were proposed, and indications are that in the final test he and Judge Lane will vote 1t down.

CITY ADVERTISED BY
 l.. & N. RAILROAD
Twelve Pages in Industrial and Freight Shippers Directory De-
 voted to Birmingham

In it's 1914-1J Industrial and Freight Shippers Directory, just issued, the Louisville and Nashville railroad de- votes about 12 pages of space to the telling of the charms of Birmingham, not only from the point of view of the manufacturer, the business man and the seeker of a new home, but from the viewpoint of one who likes to see pictures of beautiful buildings, roads and residences. The Chamber of Com merce furnished the data and pictures at the request of the railroad company, and the directory will not only go to all the shippers along the route of the Louisville and Nashville, but practi- cally every Chamber of Commerce in the United States will receive a copy. Every Chamber of Commerce in the southern states will receive one of the directories, and it is expected that 1t will prove good advertisement for Birmingham.
 Among the pictures is view of the downtown district showing the tow ering office buildings; busy street scenes, some of the new hotels, many of the larger industrial plants and some of the most beautiful residential spots in Birmingham.
 The directory Is artistically made up, printed on a fine grade of paper and bound in flexible leather.

That 1t shall be the duty of the parents and guardians of the pupils of the said school to forthwith have all their children and wards vaccinated when- ever the county health officer shall say 1t is necessary to be done.

 Robbed

John Andregg is still unconscious at St. Vincent's hospital with a crushed skull, and is not expected to live He was brought to the infirmary early yesterday morning in Johns ambulance from the pump station at No. z mine.
 According to Deputy Sheriff Chris Hartsfield, Andregg, who is about S2 years of age, is the night watchman of the pump station at No. mine of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany, was assaulted and robbed in the early hours of yesterday morning by an unknown person. As yet there have been no arrests in the case.
 The plight of the watchman was discov- cred by Jack Monfee, an engineer on the Birmingham Southern, about o'clock yesterday morning. MT. Monfee discov- cred the unconscious watchman beside the pump, which had stopped. The back of Andregg's head was crushed, his face was scratched and cut as If he had been stabbed several times, and lying near the body was a blood-covered wrench. The officers state that the assaiants evidently rushed the watchman from behind and struck him down with the heavy wrench The purpose of the assault was robbery as was evidenced by the fact that the watchman's watch, pistol and purse were missing when he was found.
 As soon as the condition of Andregs was discovered, the sheriff's office in Bir- mingham was communicated with and Deputy Hartsfield. Special Agent B. F. Phillips and others went to the scene Johns ambulance was also summoned and the wounded watchman was rushed to St Vincent's hospital. A thorough search through the woods in the locality of the assault failed to reveal any clue. and the deputies on the case are still in the dark concerning the assailants
 At the infirmary last night 1t was stated that there was no hope for the recovery of the watchman. 1t was said that he is in state of coma, and could be said to be just about living. His death was ex- pected at any moment.
 MT. Andregg is a widower, and is well known in Pratt City. He has daugh- ter, Mrs. Mcbride, who resides in Pratt City, and a son in Whitwell, Tenn.

CITY BEAUTIFUL CLUBS NOW 4! WORK Mrs. Lee Offers Daisy Roots to All Who
 Wish Them

City beautiful clubs in practically every section of the city. it was announced yes- terday. have been organized, and are now actually at work. Officials of the new organizations keep calling constantly at the city beautiful department Tor lit erature or information upon some partcu- lar of their work.
 The commissioners state that so far the city beautiful movement has been con- plete success. The formation of the or ganization composing hundreds of women all over the city was no little feat to ac- complish With the formation of a few remaining individual clubs the organiza- ton proper will be complete, and then it Is stated circular letters giving advice and information will be issued by the comms- sioners from time to time
 Mrs. S. w. Lee, 273l College Hill, in- formed The Age-Herald yesterday that she had a large quantity of daisy roots which she did not need for her own use, and which she would be glad to give to anyone who would call at her home for them The daisy is well known and beautiful little flower and there is no doubt but that Mrs. Lees offer will be widely accepted. It is this kind of coop eration, the commissioners state, which they want above all other things to de- velop in the city beautiful movement. They say that there are lots of people, just like Mrs. Lee, who have such things they do not need themselves, and which would be received with joy by many peo- pie in the city, but through neglect or oversight or lack of interest they do not make the matter known.
 With complete cooperation between members of the street clubs in all parts of the city the movement can be carried on with little necessary actual outlay of money to anyone, is the opinion of the commission.
