Now Pete. take this SIP over to Mir Grants office. How glad l am that we have this worry on our minds! I was afraid for a while that we would have to skip this months payment on tho little home. We never could make it if you children had not worked so hard to help. for it takes all father can make to keep up the living expenses, working only half timeI have the finest children in the country concluded Mrs. Stuart, smiling brightly ,as her twelve-year- old boy waved good-by
 She had reason to be proud Of tha manly little fellow. Working before and after school he had mixed the COW and kept her in fresh grass by raking the clippings from the lawns he moved His little sister had done her part by delivering the milk to their customers. The mother had done plain sewing and mending for her well-to-do neighbOrs All together they had kept up the payments on the little home during the duntmes at the foundry.
 Jake, have you kept all your rc ceipts from MT. Grant," asked Mrs Stuart the moment her husband en- tered the door that evening. 'Pete went down with SIP this morning and Mir Grant spoke of our beginning 1 again on the payments. We have not | skipped any have we?" ! MT Stuart sank into a chair by the table and buried his face in bis hands. Why. Jake, what is the matter Are you sick?" asked his wife anxi- Ously, laying her hand on his should CT.
 "Yes, sick with shame and dread, !" he replied without looking up.
 She took his face between her hands and raised it, looking steadily Into the shifty eyes "TeH me all about i it." she said tremblingly.
 Polly you will never want to see lme again. l lost all the money gam bling"
 There was silence for few min uates Then she said with an effort:
 Do you mean that you gambled with the money the children and ! worked SO hard to get together? That you gambled with our chance to set a home?"
 "Other fellows were making money that way he said sullenly. "The first money you gave me four months ago took a chance on and lost Since then ! have been trying to get it back and make the payments before yor found it out"
 She turned and left the room. A fierce anger burned in her heart The summer had been so hard on her and the children They had bought noth ing to wear and had had no vacation To have an the fruits Of this sacrifice gambled away was bad enough, bui worse than an this was the cruel dis appointent in her husband
 As she sat with her head buried ir her apron, sobbing convulsively sh' felt hand laid on her shoulder

GOVERNOR ID NAME
 MOBILE ASSISTANT
T. J. Touart and J. P. Court ney Applicants for As
 sistant Solicitor

Montgomery. July .-(Special.)-Ap Appli- cations are being made to the gover- nor for appointment to the office of as sistant solicitor of Mobile county. The term of office of the present incumbent will expire on November 30, and the governor is expected to name his sue cessor within the next two weeks.
 The applicants for the office are lis dale l. Touart. present incumbent, and J. P. Courtney, both of whom are prom inent young lawyers of Mobile. Mr. Tourt was appointed to the office by Judge Norborne R. Clarke, solicitor of Mobile county. but inasmuch as there seems to be considerable doubt as to his authority to make second appointment to the office, the governor has been asked to supply the vacancy.
 The law creating the office of assistant solicitor was passed at the last legisla- tive session and authority was vested in the solicitor to name the assistant. However, the statute is not explicit as to any further appointments. nothing in the law indicating that the solicitor has the power to appoint the successor to the present incumbent. For that reason the governor has been called upon to
 make the appointment, and he will dc so within the next few days.

URGE DENMARK ALTON LINE BE DRAWN

Washington, July 2O-Urging that the line of den arkat ton between great rail- road interests and private business en- Eterprises. particularly those relating to the coal industry. be more clearly drawn, the interstate commerce commission to- day recommended to Congress that the commodities clause of the Hepburn rate law be extended to embrace all traffic. This clause now declares t unlawful for a n ilroad to transport any article other than timber and coal in which it may have any interest, except such articles necessary for it's use as common car Nrfer.
 NThe commissions report was based on ss5s investigation into the transportation of coal. ordered by Congress nearly seven years ago.
 "From facts developed in the investga ton particularly those describing the n- dustrial railroad around St. Louis and these describing the relations of the New York General lines to coal proper ties in Illinois, the commission declared ''it believes it important that the public business of transportation should be clear ly separated from private business; that railroads should be prohibited from fur nishing directly or indirectly. capital or loans to private enterprises: that rail- roads should be prohibited from extend i ing the use of their credit for tie benefit

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

<tt tft( LJ LII
 A splendidly varied bill showing class and quality all the way through is the offering this week at the Lyric theatre. There is not one mediocre act in the entire performance and many patrons expressed the opinion that it is the best bill of the season. The GUS tom in all vaudeville houses is to save the best for the last and 1t might be inferred that the management of the popular theatre had this axiom in view in booking the many mertorious acts that are present this week and which closes the season
 The act presented by Will oakland and his company proved one of the most pleasing on the bill and was ap- preciated by all those who love good singing. MT Oakland is possibly the best tyric tenor in vaudeville and the melodious singing novelty "At the Club" gave him ample opportunities to display his wonderful talents. Associ- ated with him are four other singers of merit.
 l There is no more clever comedian fin vaudeville than Jack Wilson, who. as sisted by Franklin Battle. gave an im- promptu revue of the, bill. He picks up the bright spots. the clever lines. and novel situations of the other acts and keeps up a running line of con versation about them. MT. Battle has a grand voice and rendered his song numbers splendidly.
 The quaintest portrayal of a rural character that has ever been seen in Birmingham is that of Walter s. Dick inson as the "ex-iustice of the peace. His makeup and mannerisms are typ teal of the character, while his mono lcgue is full of humor that has the ad- ded charm of originality. His act Is one of the best on the bill.
 :. Julia Nash and company in the com edy playlet What Molly Knew con tributed to the pleasure of the bill by a very clever and interesting perform ance. Miss Nash was ably assisted by the other members of the company 1 The act is we'll staged.
 Ted and Uno Bradley in a singing and talking act proved very clever en- ltertainers Miss Helen Orr, assisted by Jack DeCosta. rendered several sing i>g numbers that pleased the audience | The opening number. the two Sal l vosgis, couple of charm1ngly pretty girls, presented a dancing number that | was very attractive.
 In closing the theatre for the sea
 son, MT. Semon makes the following lannouncement:
 l '.In closing the Lyric for four or five weeks the management wishes to ex- press to the public it's hearty thanks for the liberal patronage accorded | Keith big time vaudeville since the in lauguration at this theatre last Janu- ary.
 "We have endeavored to give Bir- mingham the class of vaudeville t' which the city is entitled, and the bills that have been seen here have been or la par with those offered at the othei Keith houses and Orpheum houses il
 this country.
 The Lyric will reopen the last 0 August or the first of September witt ithe regular routed acts of the keitl lcircuit, which will include during tn

CITY HAS CHANCEFOR
 ROTARY CONVENTION
Letter From Association HeadquartersPuts Local
 Rotarians Busy

Birmingham has chance to yet land
 the 1915 convention of the International Association of Rotary clubs.
 President l. E. Shelby. of the local Rotary club. yesterday received a letter from the international association head
 quarters. which outlined what the asso-
 citation would want in the way of enter
 tainment in the event 1t selected Birming-
 ham as a meeting place, and asked him
 to write telling what this city had to
 offer. The letter also requested Presi-
 dent Shelby to name the time of year Birmingham could take care of the Ro- tarans MT. Shelby turned the letter over to President Oscar C. Turner, of the new ly formed convention bureau, and it will be the first convention the new organiza- ton has had chance to go after. The Rotary convention means that be- tween seoo and 5000 members of the "livestu organization in the world will visit the city. which is decided upon by
 the executive committee. The city which
 secures the convention will have to pro- l vide an entire floor of d local hotel free of charge to the visitors, pay the ex- 1 penses of all the officials of the interna- | tOnai aSSOciatlOn anu see to II tiid
 something is doing every minute of tho time during the convention.
 The last convention was held in Hous. ton recently. That city provided automo l piles for the Rotarians free of charge I Every time man who wore the Rotary button desired to visit any section of the | city he found an automobile awaiting him at the hotel entrance, and there wa: I absolutely no charge. The Rotaran; l could not even pay car fare in Houston I Barquets, dances, barbecues and enter 1 iainments of almost every eonceivabl,
 nature were provided for them. and any
 thing they wanted was theirs for the ask 1 ing.
 l There was quite large delegation from | Birmingham to the convention at Hous
 ton and John w. Sibley made Birming- hams plea for the 1915 convention. He | n ade such a good impression that it be- 1 gan to look for a moment as though l the convention would vote unanimously | to come to Birmingham. The matter was left to the executive committee, how 1 ever, and 1t was thought until yesterday l that San Francisco had been awarded | the convention.
 | In the light of sthe letter received by | MT. Shelby it would appear. he says I that San Francisco has not yet been
 named as the meeting place. Birming- I hams 8 convention bureau, the constitution l and bylaws of which were adopted at a 1 meeting held at the Hotel Hillman last l Saturday now has the first opportunity of it's existence to prove it's mettle.

PROBE OF ALLEGED !. DIVERTED SHIPMENT ] 0F COAL IS BEGUN
Charged Southern Railway and Other Lines Change Shipments at Behest
 of Coal Trust

Washington, July 20.--Investigation of charges that the Southern railway and other lines at the behest of a coal trust diverted to Norwoll1, New York and other siddle Atlantic ports shipments of coal which should go to Charleston and other coastwise ports south, was begun today before a Senate committee.
 E. L. Dulaney of Bristol, Tenn, de- clared the Southern railway had spent Sl5, 100000 for feeders in Tennessee, Ken lucky and Virginia, tapping rich coal fields, but made rate determinations against Charleston, because of coal trust influences.
 The present clause makes 1t unlawful for any railroad to transport any article other than timber and coal in which It may have any interest, except such arti- cles as may be necessary for it's use in the conduct of it's business as common carrier.
 In view of the relation, particularly of l2ndustries, and railways around St. Louis and the relation of the New York Cen tral lines to coal properties in Illinois the commission suggested Tt is impor- tant that the public business of trans portation should be clearly separated from private business and the railroads should be prohibited from furnishing d. rectly or indirectly capital or loans to private industries and that the railroads should be prohibited from extending or using their credit for the benefit of pri- Nate individuals. companies.
 Explaining his understanding of how northern railways were able to exercise 'tinfluenee over the rate of southern rail- Nrays. Dulaney discussed the Tidewater .Si5ituminous Steam Coal Traffic association and the Associated Railways of Virginia and the Carolinas.
 Charles I.anier, George F. Baker, E. J Berwind, Adrian Iselin, Jr. E. II. Gary Charles Stele and H. K. McHarg were named by the witness as the men who actually direct the affairs of the Southern railway and it's subsidiary lines.
 "The actual stock ownership of all thesi men in the Southern railway company is of no consequence" said MT. Dulaney Hardly enough to buy a good plantation in South CarolnaSv6r 4o-acre orange grove in Florida
 Of s1S0, 0,000 capital stock of the South ern railway outstanding, the witness said { that less than 50,000 was actually owned 1by the men he mentioned, yetsfh said ] their positions as members of the inter locking directorates gave them mastery of the Southern railway. The hearing vii be resumed tomorrow.
