PUBLISHING HOUSES
 EOILOW THE COLLEGE

In the discussion of new population produced by colleges, one is presented with striking examples in Nashville. The most striking is the large number of printing houses scattered throughout this city. It is probable that there would De printing and publishing houses In Nashville were there no universities. It is certain however, that were there no colleges. the Methodist and Baptist and several other houses v19uld be located
 elsewhere. The Methodist publishing house is the largest e it's kind in Ameri- ca The Baptist rlins 1t close second.
 The number of publishing houses in Nash -vttliate Is fs5 ef. These give permanent employ ment and pay large wages to many peo- pie, men, women and children. In this regard it is timely to state that in the consumption of printers ink Nashville ranks third in the United States. There are countless other examples which might be cited to prove that colleges ma= terially aid in upbulding communities
 Of second importance to permanent pop ulation produced for Nashville by its col leges is the floating population. At first hand we see Nashville enriched for nine months in each year by 12,o00 non-resi- dents. Throughout the year thousands of people visit Nashville for the purpose of seeing their children. These trips-pleas- ure trips on which money is spent-are so common that all railroads granhto Nash vile stopoyer privileges, privileges which other cities of greater railroad facilities do not enjoy. During commencement season many thousand people visit Nash

FOUR NEW PICTURE
 THEATRES TO OPEN
Abernathy Equipping Place at Second and Twentieth-Three Airdomes
 in Suburbs Planned

Four new moving picture theatres are to be operated in Birmingham within the near future, it is said
 T. S. Abernathy. owner of the Odeon on Second avenue, now has a force of worlSmen engaged in fitting up hand some new theatre on Twentieth street near Second avenue in the rooms for merly occupied by the Colorado Loan company. MT. Abernathy stated yester- day that this was to be one of the hand somest theatres in the south. He has also leased the little room on Second avenue around the corner from Twen- tieth street which heretofore has been occupied as a news stand and by this means he will arrange two separate en- frances to his theatre, one from Second avenue and the other from Twentieth street A box office will be placed at each entrance and the crowds can go out either way. He expects to have the new theatre ready for operation within sev- eral weeks. It will be equipped largely with the equipment MT. Abernathy took out of the Odeon No. 2. which he was forced to close on Second avenue to make room for the new Kress building
 A. Alex Wall, owner of the Alcazar, stated yesterday that he was making ar engagements for three airdomes Tn the SUD- urbs He will make wooden fronts and stages to these theatres and will inclose the area with canvas. They will be To- cated, he states, in Woodlawn, West End and Five Points, and will show daily runs of first-class films during the sum- mer months.

ANOTHER
 MAGNET TO ATTRACT

Draw people to Birmingham if but for a dayr'
 This for long time has been the cry Of Birmingham merchants So necessary to continued growth and prosperity of city Is floating or transient population that Birmingham has offered special induce ments. Merchants as is known, refund railroad fares when visitors purchase goods to a certain amount of raoney
 No other one factor could draw more people to Birmingham than the Methodist college. For in addition to those who would come regularly throughout tha year, in addition to those vino would come to enjoy commencement exercises and festivities, there would come those who delight in athletics.
 The Methodist college wifi have a baseball and a football team. These teams would not be second raters" They would rank with the teams of Auburn, Sewanee, Vanderbilt Georgia and Ala bama.
 Examples in this regard are countless The possibilities of the college are limit less. One might run the entire gamut of speculation and reach the one conclusion. That conclusion is that Birmingham has before it magnificent opportunity. And this correspondent confidently believes that if sum of money approximating H.oOo,00o is raised by Birmingham. Atlanta will discontinue it's efforts

SOUTHERN OFFICIAL HERE
Vice President Culp Visiting MT. and Mrs. H. J. Porter, Jr.

J. M Culp, vice president of the South ern railway, reached the city yesterday to visit MT. and Mrs. H. J. Porter, Jr. He was a guest at lunch at the Tut wiler yesterday of l.. Sevier,- general agent for the company, as were Mr. and Mrs. Porter. MT. Culp was shown over the hotel by MT. Sevier and George w. Traylor. Jr., and was very much pleased with the hostelry.
 He explained that his visit here at this time was merely a routine one while the greatest attraction was his grand daughter.
 Birmingham appears to be- going for ward'' said Mr. Cup. This city is a wonder to me. With the Finley shop work going ahead, and with the other activities here and with the completion and operation of the Tutwiler, Birming- ham seems to be very active and busy.
 "The Tutwiler hotel is one of the most elegant that I have ever seen. It is a great credit to Birmingham and must be the source of considerable pride to the citizens of this community Br- mingham has needed a hotel for some- time and the completion of the Tutwiler has not come any too soon. My opinion is that Birmingham can make stronger appeal than ever for visitors since you have unquestionably sufficient hotel &C., commodations to care for almost any con- vention. Birmingham is most attrac- tive city and has an appeal to visitors that is almost irresistible when placed properly
 MT. Cup will be in the oity today.

STRANGER K|L[ED|N
 DISPUTE OVER FOOD
Jasper Ingram Kills Road Worker Who Threatened
 His Life

Montevallo, June -(Special.)- )-Bast night, on the automobile highway that is being constructed through Monteval- To. Jasper Ingram killed a man who is said to have been named Warren, and to have come from Arkansas, about 100 miles north of Little Rock
 It seems that Warren had been work ing on the highway but a day or two, and as he could find no place to get his meals Ingram consented to furnish them to him.
 Ingram. however. knowing nothing about the newcomer, refused to allow Warren to go to his home, but brought his meals to him. Last night Warren appears to have taken exception to this and is said to have cursed Ingram and told him that unless he would let him come and eat with him he would kill him before morning. Ingram went to his house and returned with his shot gun, and is said to have told Warren to leave. Warren refused to obey 1n- gram's orders, and is said to have cursed Ingram, whereupon Ingram shot him, and came in to Montevallo and gave himself up to the town marshal.

UNIVERSITY LIFE HELPED TO MAKE
 NASHVILLE GREAT
Continued from Page One)

lege offering fine and cheap facilities for education would draw to Birmingham many parents with sons to be trained and developed. In the third place there would come new people attracted by the opportunity of sharing in new business In the fourth place, the college would in- troduce to Birmingham its students, ana its students, after graduation, would be- come lawyers and doctors and teachers and business men--of Birmingham.
 Twenty per cent of Vanderbilt gradu- ates-this is a statement of peculiar sig nifcance-become permanent residents of Nashville. Birmingham offers more al- turing field for young practitioners than Nashville. At any rate, at least 20 per cent of the graduates of the Methodist college would build their nest and rear their family in Birmingham. There IS no reason why this Methodist college should not be to Birmingham what Vanderbilt is to Nashville. Therefore, after acquir- ing a knowledge of conditions in Nash vile, Birmingham cannot afford to lose this opportunity permal to better itself. The idea prevails it. lfville that if Birmingham loses the nodist col lege it will be Birmingham fault.

judicially determined until, to-wit, within the last 60 days, the court finds that the respondent is not guilty of violation of said ordinance, nor of such wllful and persistent defiance of it's duties to the public which would justify the court in entering a judgment of custer.
 But inasmuch as the supreme court of Alabama, in the case of Smith vs. Bir- mingham Water Works company, 104 Ala bama 315, and IS Southern Reporter 123, has said that,
 By the terms of the franchise ordinance and contract, as construed by this court, respondent is bound to furnish water to domestic consumers at stated flat rates for dwellings, water closets and bath tubs, the court therefore finds that re- spondent must not after June 3O 1914 charge any of it's consumers at meter rates
