SEEKS ID HAVE CITY OFFICIALS s HELD IN
 CONTEMPT BY GRUbb
Attorneys of Waterworks Company Make Answering Move to Injunction Pro-
 ceedings of McLin

Petition asking that George B. Ward Judge A. O. Lane and James Weatherly city commissioners, and Capt. Romaine Boyd and M M. U1lman, city attorneys 7be cited for contempt of court was filed yesterday in the office of Charles J. Allison. clerk of the United States court, and a supplementary bill to re- strain Earl G. McLin from prosecutirg g his injunction against the Birmingham Waterworks company in the state courts was also filed.
 Judge W. I. Grubb is attending the United States district court at Hunts viiie and will not return before the end of the week, so the date of the hearing has not yet been set. The city off, cials have been served with a notice of the petition but have not as yet been cited to appear before the federal judge None of them would make any statement in regard to the matter. pending the hearing before Judge Grubb.
 The petition sets forth that the per- sonal punishment of the city officials is not the purpose of the suit but that ir is technical proceeding to keep the matter in the federal court where. it is alleged, the controversy first started.
 The bill was filed by Percy Benners < Burr, attorneys for the waterwo worl.s Fcomrany. as counter suit to the in- junction proceedings brought by Earl McLin in the county courts asking that the company be enjoined from cutting oft his water supply for the nonpay- ment of his water rent under the con- tract of 1888 after he had rendered payment under the terms of ordinance 1ls-C passed by the city commissioners February, 1913
 Immediately following the adoption or the above ordinance the waterworks company filed petition for an injunc {. ton in the federal court to restrain the city from enforcing the proposed rates under ordinance 119-C. Judge Grrbb granted the restraining order and on an appeal to the circuit court his ruling was upheld. The city took an appeal to the higehr court which Is still pending.
 The petition filed yesterday declares that the city authorities are behind the McLin injunction suit, which 1t alleges, is an effort to enforce through the state courts. the ordinance enjoined by ruling of the federal court This the attorneys allege is in contempt of the order of the federal court.
 The petition filed by McLin in the county court asking that temporary Injunction against the waterworks company was referred to Judge Charles W. Ferguson, who granted the tempor- ary injunction and set the date of hear ing for November g. The company filed answer to the petition and asked that A the case be transferred from the coun- ty court to the federal court. This was also set for hearing on the above date.
 Captain Boydand M. M ullman are attorneys in the McLin injunction suit.

 "The cotton situation will improve, but as q bumper crop was made a large part of it will be carried over until tho next cotton year. Many farmers can afford to hold their cotton indefinitely, but it will be good policy to sell what they can and start over again in 1915

 After looking over Birmingham con- siderably since arriving here Tuesday, last, James T. McCleary, secretary of the American Iron and Steel institute, was able to say yesterday that there was no place within his knowledge that had such attractions that had grown at such a remarkable pace.
 He was here 24 years ago, and again five years ago MT. McCleary said last night that the difference between "A years ago and five years ago he then be- lieved was extremely great. but that the developments here since he was in Bir- ningham five years ago were greater than any place he had ever visited
 T was very much interested and as- tonished to see the phenomenal growth of Birmingham,'' said MT McClary This place presents striking example of the growth of this section. What has Teen done Is so phenomenal that I am inclined to be uneasy about the future. If you do so much in five years you may move Pittsburg here in the next 10 years. It is truly remarkable what Bir- mingham has accomplished As I visited some of your industrial sections and as walked over some of the business streets snd later visited some of the residential sections I marveled at the wonderful strides that Birmingham had taken.
 The members of the American Iron and Steel institute who are to be here in large numbers today will be able to see through the trips that have been ar ranged what this city has to offer in the way of great industrial plants. I ven- ture to say that they will be very much astonished" |"
