 BAR ASSOCIATION
Elected President to Succeed Walker Percy at Annual Meeting-Retir-
 ing Officers Thanked

Friday afternoon the annual meeting of the Birmingham Bar association was held in the law library, First National Bank building, Henry upson Sims, vice president of the association, presiding, in tho absence of Walker Percy president.
 The interest felt in the proceedings was shown by the large number of mem bers present The report of F. I. Monks as secretary and treasurer, showed the finances of the association on sound basis, with a large increase in member ship and completely up-to-date law library.
 The election of officers for the ensuing year was held, and Henry Upson Sims was elected president L. J. Haley, vice president; F. l. Monks, secretary and treasurer. The following were elected members of the executive committees: G. R. Harsh, E. D. Smith, Henry R. Howze, James A. Mitchell and Jelks H. Caba- miss.
 The newly elected president made a. very spirited address in which he spc- cially referred to the power and influ- ence for good that the association could ''fNf practice of law, the selection of the best qualified material for the judiciary and in rendering assistance to the courts in the quick dispatch of business. He spe- cially appealed to the younger members of the profession to take advantage of the opportunities the law library with it's $30o00 worth of books, offered to those who really meant to practice law upon the high plane the public expects.
 MT. Sims address was heard With a marked attention and was followed by other speakers, who indorsed his views, especially upon the part the lawyers should take in recommending candidates fo rthe bench It was pointed out that the electors as a body generally know very little about the qualifications of can didates for the bench and that it was the duty of the lawyers to preserve q high standard of ability and efficiency in the judiciary Other speakers eX- pressed themselves in favor of holding quarterly meetings, which would be a combination of business with a social feature. The idea was favorably received and special committee was appointed to put it into effect
 A vote of thanks to the retiring off cors terminated the business.

5000 nonresident students have bred ex- travgance among other students, the re- port asserted, and also have raised the cost of living at the university
 The report condemned compulsory mii- tary education at the university. 'The same time spent in teaching the arts of peace and efficient citizenship would do more to advance the interests Of the state.'' it said.
 The report criticized the university for accepting aid from the Carnegie founda- tion for pensioning instructors. Accept ance of foundation help took away the universitys independence, the report de- clared.

DENIES DISSENSION

Hooper Issues Statement Saying Selma Report Is Without
 Foundation

Lloyd NJ Hooper, trustee of Agnes Scott college, Atlanta, Ga, today issued n statement declaring that there was not foundation in fact for reports published in the Birmingham Age-Herald of Fri- day December 1S from Selma, concerning alleged dissatisfaction among the stu dents of Agnes Scott college, and that there had been no conference held Tn Selma of any nature whatsoever to JUS tify the statement and that at the pres ent time and for many years past the most cordial and harmonious relations existed between President FranK H. Gaines, the faculty and students

any state board. Should state control prevail. I fear the consequences. h. stead of transferring what feeble power the city commission now has, it occurs to me that this power should be strengthened, enlarged and solidified. It should be made certain, absolute and plenary.
 VIADUCTS.
 "The power of the city to compel the construction of viaducts was prob- lematical. At the time this right was so questionable that a settlement was reached whereby the city was to defray part of the expense, at a cost of about $125,000. How about viaduct construc- tion in the future? Isn't 1t time that this question be definitely settled? Shall 1t take another 10 or 15 years before ac- tion shall be had and such action only at the expense of the city? It occurs to me that the law should be so framed that the city can compel the construc- tion of viaducts at no expens whatever to the city.
 THE INITIATIVE.
 You will recall that the commission government bill as originally drafted and introduced provided for the initia- tive, referendum and recall. The initia- tive was stricken because the governor opposed it. The initiative Is indissolu- bly, connected with commission govern ment. Commission government Is in complete without 1t. know of no city where commission government pre- yails minus the initiative. The central ization of governmental power in the hands of a few men should be safe guarded by the initiative-power in the people to enact legislation denied by ths commission.
 "rThe people of Birmingham should insist upon the incorporation of the in itiative into our commission governmen ] law.
 "I merely remind you of these thing so that the charge cannot hereafter b made wehn the legislature adJourns ] that we were so busy trying to ge | fnacial relief that everything else wa | forgotten
 "The matters alluded to above are ex tremely vital, an dare of profound sig nificance to the citizenry of Birmlng ham. Other things probably need rem | edying.
 q suggest that these matters be earn estly considered, and that the city com mission recommend to the yenersol | county delegation such measures as VII award adeuuate solution; or, if n recommendations be made. that the cil. commission at least give these matter some consideration, and actively sup | port whatever measures are introouce' 1 to the interest of Birmingham.

Dunk" and Brad are known to prac- tically every travelling man that has lately come to this section The former is Herbert Dunl<lee. chief clerk of the Tutwiler and the latter is L.. R. Brad bury, cashier at the Tutwiler. The two compose what is termed the "start' watch at the qutwiler for the reason that they book the most people and the best known people. They are very pop ular, and 1t is not saving too much to avow that among hotel employees they are as popular as hotel men get to be in this day and time.
 Mir. Dunklee came to Birmingham from the United Hotels company organization operating a hotel in Syracuse. He is esteemed highly by D. M. Johnson and Fred Rockwell, secretary and vice pres ident of the United Hotels company. Re- alizing that the Tutwier hotel company by reason of it's foreign connection would

Dunllee since coming to Birmingham has made a host of friends and has proven himself a man whom popularity does not influence one way or the other. He is the same old Dunk" whichever way you take him. He is destined for higher office in the organization of the United Hotels company.
 MT. Bradbury was for some time at the Paulmer house in Chicago, the Sher- man house in Chicago and latterly at the Peabody in Memphis. MT. Brad bury was introduced to Birmingham through wreck on the Alabama Great Southern railroad. in which he was in- jured. He has, however, completely re- covered from the shock of that affair and is one of the most popular and efficient men connected with the Tutwiler MT. Bradbury and MT. Dunklee have the ut most confidence of Fred Shireman, man. ager of the Tutwiler, and with him as well as the travelling pubic they are both very popular.
