LONG CONTROVERSY
 OVER PARK SETTLED
City Gets Warranty Deed for North Birmingham
 Park

Through the work of Monte Ullman, as- sistant city attorney, supervised by City Commissioner James weatherly. war ranty deed was made out to the city yesterday by the North Birmingham Land company for public park in North Birmingham, comprising 13.4 acres of ground
 The city has had case pending in the courts to recover this land, but the land company desired to settle out of court and the deed to the park was the result. The land comprises what for years has been known as North Birmingham park.
 It appears that the old North Birmlng- ham Land company. when it was organ ized in 1887, made a map of the territory which is now North Birmingham, and in that map laid off a public park The company expended some $10,0o0, it is alleged, on improving this park placed a sign over 1t and opened it to the public with a big barbecue. Lots were then sold, buyers being under the impression this plot of land was a public park and 1t is stated that lots fronting on the park were sold for higher prices on that account.
 However. some years later the land company changed hands and the new officials of the company decided that this park was too valuable piece of property to be donated to the public. They there fore undertook. it is alleged, to divi je 1t up into lots and sell the lots. The pA ,ple of North Birmingham agitated the q\ S. ton for many years and shortly ak = commission form of government came h
 
 Weatherly and asked him to attempt to reclaim the park. Some time later MT. Weatherly instructed Attorney Ullman to Investigate the case. MT. Ullman found of the existence of this old map on which the place had been formally designated a public park, he secured witnesses to swear that a large sign over the gate had been there for many years and read North Birmingham Park" He secured other witnesses to testify that they had bought lots in the neighborhood with the understanding that the place was public park, and he then filed a. bill to re- claim the ground as a public park After long litigation, Judge Charles Sharpe de- nied demurrer of the land company's at- torneys to the bill and it was then that the negotiations were opened for, set tlement out of court, which negotiations have been pending since sometime last fall.
 The deed which has been executed. however, now makes the ground a bona fde public city park for time immemorial. The plot is located between Thirty-ffth and Twenty eighth avenues and between the Southern railway and Twenty eighth street. The signing of the deed marked the end of long struggle. which has been carried on by the people of North Blr- mingham to keep the park from being sold for lots

DR. CUNNINGHAM
 EXPLAINS REPORT
Was Speaking Only of Pres. ent Conditions in Saying
 Water Was Pure

In view of the pending suit of the city against the Birmingham Water works company much interest has been aroused in the recent report by City Health Officer Dr. R. NJ. Cunningham In which he treated of the water sup ply.
 Although Dr. Cunningham in that re- port stated that the water was pure to drink, he states now he was speak ing merely of present conditions. there by intimating that it has not always been so. In this regard City Comnfs- s1oner Weatherly yesterday said
 The conditions referred to in Dr. Cunninghams report are conditions not involved in any of the present litiga- tion between the city and the water works company"
 The city contends, it is alleged, that after the suit against 1t was filed by the waterworks company the latter corrected many of the evils which then existed. In this connection Dr. Gun ningham yesterday wrote the follow ing letter to Commissioner Weatherly:
 June 26. IA Hon James weatherly. Commissioner. City.
 Dear Sir--In my recent report to Che commissioners I discussed the Birming ham water supply. I have been asked as to how far back, in my opinion the probability of the public water supply extended. I was writing entirely on present conditions.
 From the report made by the bac- teriologist in 1912 the North Birming- ham water was undoubtedly polluted. and was neither wholesome nor safe. so far as bacterial infection was con cerned
 From the report made of the con dition of the Five Mile creek water shed at that time, and from what I have since observed in the correction of these conditions the evidence it seems to me at that period showed the water supply from Five Mile creek was contaminated.
 My report was confined to present conditions and the immediate past. or since l have been studying the sani- tary conditions of Birmingham, and it had no reference at all to past condi- tions. Very truly yours,
 'R. M. CUNNINGHAM, M. D.,
 City Health Officer" Judge E. c. Crow for the past several weeks has been preparing a decision on the case filed by the city against the waterworks company seeking to invali- date the company's franchise on the grounds that 1t has not been furnish ing pure water. The decision is ex- peeted to be rendered at any time.

NEGRO SPOKEMAN
OFFENDS WILSON

The President Breaks on Interview mt
| the White House. Tells Committee
They VIII Have to Get Another
Chairman.
Washington, Nov. 12.-Offendcd By
, the tone and manner OF their chair
man., w. NJ. Trotter, OF Boston, Pres
ident Wilson today ended an inter
view with a delegation of negroes who
called at the White House to protest
against race segregation in govern
ment departments, with a warning that
If the negroes wanted to see him again
they would have to get another spokcs-
man. The President said he had not
been addressed in such fashion since
he entered the White House.
A fifteen minute interview had been
arranged for the callers and the Pres
ident received them in his Office with
only his stenographer present The
delegation compained formally that
Postmaster General Burlcson, Secre-
tary McAdoo and Comptroller Wil-
liams, OF the treasury, were enforcing
segregation Of white and negro en-
ployees in their Offices. Mr.. Wilson lis
tened to the statement and then replied
at length, explaining that he had in
restigated this matter himself and had
been assured that no discrimination
had been practiced gainst the ne
| groes and that segregation had
| been inaugurated to avoid friction be-
| tween the races, not to injurc the ne
gro. lie added that he was deeply in
terestcd in the negro race and ad-
| mired 1t for the progress it had made.
At this point Trotter and others OF
the delegation took issue with the
President. They declared the negro
people did not seek charity or assist
ance. but held that they had equal
rights with the white and that these
rights should be respected. There had
been no friction, they insisted, before
the segregation was started.
Mr.. Wilson waited for the protest TO
cnl. Then he told the delegation that
he could not discuss the matter fur
ther. He closed with the quiet, but
empatic statement that Trotter had
lost control of his temper and that he
| (the PRESIDENT could not be talked to
IN such a manner.
When the negroes left they said their
talk had been thoroughly disappoint-
ing and that they would hold mass
meeting in Washington next Sunday
TO protest further against segregation
Trotter said in his address that his
committee did not come "as wards
looking for charity, but as full-ncdget
American citizens, vouchsafed equali.
ty Of citizenship by the Federal Con
stitution.
Two years ago." said Trottcr, you
were thought to be n second Abraham
Lincoln"-the President tried to in
terrupt, asking that personalities be
left out OF the discussion. Trottcr con-
tinued to speak, and the President f.
nally told him If the organization he
represented wished to approach him
again 1t must choose another spokcs-
man, adding that he had enjoyed lis

tening to the other members of the
committee, but that 'rrotter's tone was
offensive.
The President told Trotter that he
was an American citizen as fully as
anyone else, but that he (Trotter) was
the only American citizen who ever
had come into the White House and
addressed the President in such tone
and with such u backgroun Of pas
sion. Here Trotter denied that he had
any passion, but the President told
him he had spoiled the cause for which
he had come, and said hexpected
those who professcd to be Christians
to come to him in a Christian spirit.
The negro spokesman continued to
argue that he was merely trying to
show how the negro people felt, and
asserted that he and others were now
being branded as traitors to their race
because they advised the negro people
TO support the ticket"
The mention of votes cause Mr.. VIII
son to say politics must be left out
because 1t was a form OF blackmail
Tie said he wiuld resent it as quickly
from one set of men as from another
and that his auditors could vote as
they please, it mattered little to him,
SO long as he was sure he was doing
the right thing at the right time.
The President spoke frankly, saying
that if the negro people had made a
mistake in voting for him they ought
to correct it, but that he would insist
that politics should not be brought in
to the question because it was not a
political problcm With some emotion
he declared he was not seeking office,
and that Il man who sought the Office
OF the Presidency was a fool for his
pains.
llc spoke Of the intolerable burden
OF the Office and Of things which he
had to do which were more than the
human spirit could carry
Emphasizing that he did NOT care in
the least for the political considera-
tons involved, Mr.. Wilson urged that
he wanted his auditors to understand
that it was a human problem and not
a political problem. While the Amcri-
can people wanted to support the ad-
Vancemcnt OF the negro, the President
was sure that, as practical men, every
which friction is apt to occur. The
question must be stripped Of sentiment
and viewed In it's facts, because the
facts get the better of the individual
whether one desired it or not
The President said he thought his
colleagues in the government depart
mcnts were not trying to put the negro
at disadvantage, but simply to make
arrangements which would prevent
| friction. lie added that the question
involved was not a question of intrin-
sic qualities, because all had human
souls and were equal in that respect
but that for the present it was ques-
ton OF economic policy whether the
negro race could do the same things
equal efficiency. He said he thought
the negroes were proving that they
could, and that every one wished to
help them SO that they would not be so
dependent, and that their conditions
Of labor would be bettercd. The entire
matter however, should be treated
with q recognition Of it's difficulties.
what was just and asked for more
memoranda from the committee as to
instances Of segregation about which
they complained.
