Free Navy Deserters.

INSTRUMENTATION of imprison-
ment for desertion from the navy In
times of peace was ordered Monday by
Secretary Daniels. Under the new reg
ulation, b~luejackets who overstay their
leave or commit similar breaches OF
discipline will be summarily dismissed
instead of being sent to prison, while
men who become dissatisfied with the
service and want to quit may have an
honorable discharge by merely refund
ing enlistment allowances.
The secretary also announced that
the navy now had practically a full
quota-51, 348 enlisted men-compare6
with a shortage Is months ago of more
than 4000-and that the time to take
the step had come.

MARKET REPORTS

One Of the most remarkable devel-
opments in the financial situation last
week was the ease with which the
huge French loan operations were car
ried through without causing a ripple
In the Paris money markets. Another
feature of considerable moment is the
government crop report rejecting con-
ditions at the beginning of July, the
estimate of the wheat crop aggregat-
ing 100000 bushels. Nothing can
be of better omen for the future of
business than a token of political rec
ognition at Washington that business
opinion must be considered in govern
mental action.

NEW AUTOMOBILE
 FOR EMERGENCIES Judge Lane Says Police Car" Will Have Right of
 Way Along Streets

A large automobile for the emergency calls of the detective department will be authorized at the next meeting of the board of commissioners, according to Judge A. o. Lane. last night. Comms- sioner A. O. Lane stated that an auto mobile for the detective department was an absolute necessity at once.
 The present crime wave, said Judge Lane. has accentuated the need of an emergency car for the police and detective departments. Therefore I will recommend at the next meeting of tn eboard the pur- chase of an adequate machine for the immediate needs of the department.
 The automobile which the city will buy for the detectives will be built for speed and to carry at least seven passengers. It will he distinctive in color like an am bulance and will bear the imprint, Police Emergency Car It will have large siren to warn pedestrians of it's approach and will have the right of way on the streets in all hurry calls It will not be an automobile to be used for joy riding, and it's legitimate uses will be to convey and convey very quickly detectives and policemen to the scene of any burglary or murder.
 This automobile Is needed right now very badly and it should be bought at once"

32,OOO-TON ORDER

Rails Will Be Rolled at Ensley Mill of Tennessee

The officials of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company announced yesterday the receipt of an order for steel rails amounting to 32,ooO tons from the Frisco lines.

The steel will be used in relay work, the construction of passing tracks and some new con- struetion by the Frisco in this imme- diate section and at other points on the line.

FORMAL TENDER OF
 COLLEGE IS MADE
Action Taken at Meeting of Executive Committee of
 Birmingham College

The executive committee of Birming-
 ham college met yesterday and adopted formal resolutions offering the proper ties of that instution as the neucleus l for the proposed Methodist college to be founded by the Methodist Episcopal church, south. This is the initial step | in the contest that Birmingham will wage for the location here of the c~&~ lege which will, 1t is believed, bring at least S5,000 900 to the city which se- lcures it. The action of the executive committee was taken at a meeting of that committee held in the office of R s. Munger who is greatly interested in the welfare of Birmingham college. The committee in its resolution pledged its support to the Chamber of Commerce in the fight which will be carried on In the interest of the col lege and this city by that body. Fol lowing the formal tender of the prop critics, believed to be worth at least $350, ,0O0, there was issued by President IP G. Shook of the Chamber of Com
 merce a call for a meeting of the mem bers of the chamber today at noon at which there will be launched the fight
 which will be waged to secure the
 school for Birmingham At the meeting
 today it Is believed that the lines will
 be drawn and that there will be no let up until the last effort has been eXerted in behalf of Birmingham for the school The members of the Birmingham col lege committee which adopted the reso- Hutton in regard to the offer are R. $. Munger, F. M. Jackson, William Hood, F. l. Tarrant, Hugh Locke, Rev. J. ID. Simpson, president, and Rev. l.. C.
 Branscombe. presiding elder of this dis trict.
 The resolution follows:
 Resolved, by the executive com mittee of the board of trustees of Bir- mingham college, that 1t hereby of- fers to the educational commission of the Methodist Episcopal church, south,
 subject to the approval of the full board
 and of the North Alabama conference,
 all it's lands, funds and other resources
 as A nucleus for central university
 of the Methodist Episcopal church,
 south.
 This offer to be considered along
 with what subscriptions for this pur-
 nose may be raised by the people or
 Birmingham and Alabama through the agency of the local Chamber of Com merce as an inducement for the loca- tion of the proposed university, and we pledge to the Chamber of Commerce our hearty co-operation.

SH|PMENTSFROM
 FA|RF| HELD BEGIN
Prices Quoted on Birming- ham Basis Rather Than
 Chicago or Pittsburg

After years of work and worry Bir- mingham will today become the basing point for at least some steel products. |lt was announced yesterday that the beginning of shipments of steel prod
 ucts from the plant of the American
 Steel and Wire company at Fairfield
 would take place today. The beginning of the shipments is not of greater im-
 portance than the fact that prices are
 quoted on the Birmingham basis rather
 than on the Pittsburg or Chicago basis,
 which has been the custom in years s past.
 The arrangements whereby Birming ham is the passing point for the products of the American Steel and Wire com pany is all that can be said at this time as to what Birmngham's position in this regard will be in the. future. However, it is asserted on good au- thority that the action of the American Steel and Wire is the beginning of the final plans to place Birmingham on an equality with Pittsburg so far as basic prices are concerned. In the memory
 of the oldest persons here 1t Is recalled that Birmingham has been wanting just
 such action, and it is believed that the announcement as to that action win be rallied with considerable qualification. In connection with the American Steel and Wire company operations 1t Is said that shipments of steel products in large volume will start today. All though June is usually the dulIest
 month in the year, at the same time business is said to be good and or ders are to be filled. It Is stated that between now and September. which is the beginning of real activities in wire products, the forces at the steel plant will be gradually increased until 2000 men will be at work in Fairfield at this
 one plant alone.
 During the past few weeks of opera tions at Fairfield the products have been placed in storage awaiting the opening of the market as much as the accumu- lation of a sufficient stock to take care of the orders given to this plant.

COUNTY COMMITTEE WILL MEET AT NOON Lively Times Are in Pros pect Before Controversy
 Is Settled

That there will be ''something doing at the meeting of the Jefferson county democratic executive committee called for tn,s morning at il o'clock, is the preva- lent opinion of those familiar with the situation. Two calls were issued for the meeting.
 Judge C. c. Nesmith, chairman of the old committee. contends that the new committees was not properly organized and that ne Is still the chairman until the proper procedure has been carried out John B. Bethea, who was elected chairman at the last meeting of the committee, also issued a call. his friends insisting that his election was regular and that he is the duly authorized head of the committee. His friends further claim that in the event another election is held he has sufficient votes to elect him.
 Judge c. c. Nesmith states that he Is not a candidate for reelection as chairman of the committee and does not oppose anyone the committe may name. He contends all the committee should be present when chairman Is elected and that snap judgment should not be taker 1t is understood that John R. Copeland will probably be chosen to op- pose Mir. iSethea for the position of chair man.
 The committee at its last meeting adopted a resolution that none but mem bers of the committee could hold office. The fight tiis morning may center on that resolution. Judge c. c. Nesmith and John p. Abbott a.e chairman and secretary of the old organization and John B. He.hea and Thomas F.. Huey hold the same positions on the new com u,ittet
