EARLY APPOINTMENT IS NOW EXPECTED ROsenstihl Supporters Will Today Urge Him Be
 fore Governor

It is believed that by the beginning of next week the governor will have either reappointed w c. Agee, chair Der of the excise commission, or named their successors. The terms of both expired last Wednesday.
 John B. Rosenstihl. an applicant for the appointment of chairman, accom- panied by number of his friends. rep resentative citizens of Birmingham. will go to Montgomery this morning for the purpose of putting his claim before the chief executive. Neither Dr. w. c. Gewin nor Thomas M Rogers, other applicants for the chairmanship, will attend the reception which the governor has agreed to hold. Dr. Gewin stated last night that if the office was rendered him he would ac- cept but that he would not make q fight for the position. MT. Rogers de- clared that he was an applicant only in the event that the governor had concluded not to reappoint Mir Agee.
 There seems to be no question but that the governor will reappoint MT Wiikin- son. associate member It is the consen- sus of opinion that he has faithfully dis charged his duty, and is entitled to re- appointment. Mir. Wilkinson will not at tend the reception ill Montgomery today. As MT. Agees delegation has already laid it's case before the governor, it Is prob able that the chairman will have no rep- resentative in Montgomery today
 Mir Rosensthl, who, 1t is said. has an excellent chance to land the chairman ship. said last night that he was not making a fight on Mir. Asee, but that he wanted the position if the governor de- cided not to reappoint MT. Agee.
 q have had some encouragement said MT. Rosenstihl. and feel confident that if a change is made I will receive very favorable consideration at the hands of the governor l have had excellent sup port on the rssrt of many friends, and al- together feel buoyant.

Call On Farmers of State
 to Meet Here Next Friday

discussed, according to Pr esident Shook of the Chamber of Commerce.
 meeting has been called to take place in Montgomery and other cities, 1t is understood have called meetings of the farmers of the state. The Buy-a- Bale-of-Cotton club committee believes that Birmingham is the logical place in which to hold the meeting. because, as was pointed out this section of the state is most affected by the cotton crop. The farmers of north Alabama are more ad- versely affected by low price cotton than are the tenant farmers of the southern part of the state
 Assistant Secretary W. Blanks Everett of the Chamber of Commerce will be busily at work sending out letters to the mayors of every town in Alabama stressing the importance of the meet ing. Also he will send copies of the call for the meeting to all the weekly newspapers in the state, urging that the editors point out the necessity of the people of the state coming to understand the attitude of each other as regards the general situation today.
 It is believed there will be a ga her ing of farmers in Birmingham next Fri day such as has not been seen here for many years, and 1t Is ne intention of those fostering the movement to get right at the root of the situation and discover means for relief.

WILLIAMS BADLY HURT IN COLLISION Detective, While Riding Mo- torcycle, Collides With
 Street Car

While returning from an emergency po- lice call on motorcycle, Detective Rob ert G. Williams, one of the ablest and most conscientious officers in the detec- tive department, was seriously injured in collision with a North Highlands car at 1719 Jasper street, about 2:l5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

 The North Highlands car which collided with the detective was in charge of Motor- man W. w. Cole and Conductor J. R. Hawkins. As yet the investigation. into tno dSSiNtht iiaS iiOt ttSuitto III l'aeiiiS blame on either the detective or the crew of the street car. It Is considered prob able that the accident was unavoidable.
 The injury to MT. Williams breaks up for the time being the highly success full team work of Brown and Williams in the detective line. In the last three months Detectives H. E. Brown and R. G..Williams have done extraordinary work in experimenting criminals, and their sleuthing has kept them in the public eye almost continuously.

Tt IS natural Tor ScnOlarS and stu- dents to seek congenial companions. Oftentimes 12 or 15 or 20 persons are as many as one can really become attached to for personal social inter- course. If 1t were not for fraternities these few men would flow into small clubs or sets. They would possess no national responsibility or spirit They would have no great moral force or ideas behind them and they would in reality become that which we cannot condone.
 "As it is fraternities such as the one we belong to has national and inter- national responsibilities. We have na- tional officers and older members to check us up and we must stand Tor everything that is clean and noble and worth while, else as l say fraterni- ties are a failure as are all colleges.

Head of University of Yer mont Declares Charges Against College Organiza- ti0ns Are Baseless.
PHI DELTA PLANS FOR CONVENTION
 ARE MAPPED OUT
Are Approved As Submitted-Mem- bers of General Council of Fra ternity Entertained At Newspaper Club-To Be Guests At Lunch To- day At the Southern Club.

Over 150 members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. one of the largest il the world. heard Dr. Guy Potter Ben ton president of the University of Yer mont. extoll tho virtues of fraternl- ties at the Tutwiler hotel last night The occasion was the second formal function arranged for the general council of the Phi's, which is in ses- sion here to assist in arranging for the forthcoming biennial meeting in December in this city The keynote of Dr. Bentons talk was that fra ternities as fraternities and what they stood for We're on trial in America. especially in the south. and that it was the purpose of the Phi Delta Thetas to set such an example of rec titude of conduct as to leave no room for the oft heard criticisms of fra ternities in general.
 q want to say to you gentle men that we desire to show by our
 conduct that some charges against
 fraternities are untrue' declared
 Dr. Benton last night to an as-
 semblv which was all attention.
 There has been charged time and
 again that fraternities were incu-
 bators of incidence, hotbeds of i'm
 mortality, and the original creative
 place of snobbery. I do not care to
 dignity such statements with any
 discussion but 1 want to say With
 all possible positiveness what l
 believe fraternities, especially the
 one we have the honor of belonging
 to, stand for. 1t is for efficiency in
 studies: it is for the most circum-
 spect department and it is dem

 There are other sorts Of color blindness, perhaps even more Ire quent than the physical. The man who hears good music but has ne in terst in 1t, the man who has never learned to appreciate a good poem or a well written book, or has forgotten. the man who has been so engroased in one pursuit as to lose the capacity for enjoyment outside of it, has somewhat similar ailnaent. And there are those. too who seem to be morally color blind, men who own up frankly to grating, for example, and see no harm in 1t. and men who are less troubled in their nisdeeds thar by their cIumsiness in being found out If you catch him in lie, he gets away with it. said an admirer of a recent candidate for high ofice.
 There are those who claim to sec nothing in religion. in public wor- shfu. in the gospel of Christ-but that does not prove that there is nothing there. They may be spiritually color blind Fortunately neither the moral nor the spiritual defect is hopelessly incurable The man who will seek 6 clearer vision of truth and right will be divinely assisted to recovery. And it is well to remdey the lack oexorS running by a danger signal to some serious catastrophe.
