WORKING ON PLANS
 FOR ANNUAL DINNER
Gridiron Affair at Press Club to Be Most Elabor-
 ate Ever Given

Arrangements are being made to make the annual gridiron dinner of the Birming- ham Newspaper club which will be given the evening of June 16, the most elaborate affair that has ever been given at the club. This will be the first of the famous gridiron dinners of the Birmingham News paper club to be given in the handsome quarters of the club in the Jefferson County Bank building. and due to this fact and for the reason that larger attendance is expected than ever before, the dinner is expected to eclipse any din ner that has ever been given before by the club
 Several hundred prominent men from all parts of Alabama. and from other points, are expected to attend the dinner. Special committees have been busy for several weeks working out details for the dinner and indications are that the gridiron stunts to be pulled this year will be so enjoyable as to be a surprise even to those who have attended previous affairs of the club. Secretary W. A. Dameron states that although invitations to the dinner have just been mailed out many acceptances have already been re- ceived, and the number of guests present at the dinner is expected to reach into the hundreds.
 Although some suggestion of having
 ladies present at the dinner was made when plans for the affair were first start ed, it was decided that the precedent pre- vicusly set of having the dinners attended only by men should be adhered to this year.
 The gridron dinners of the Birming- ham Newspaper club are known through out the state for the wonderful spirit of informal pleasure which reigns at these affairs. and prominent Alabama men, who have attended previous dinners are eagerly looking forward to the first of these gridiron dinners to be given by the club in the new home.

MCCORMACK HEADS
 COAL OPERATORS
Is Reelected at Meeting Yesterday-Fatalities Re-
 duced 50 Per Cent

George B. Mccormack, president of the yesterday reelected president of the Ala bama Coal Operators association. Other officers, including Charles F. DeBarde- leben, vice president, and James l.. Da- vidson, secretary and treasurer, were re- elected. The old members of the execu- tive committee, which includes Frank H Crockard chairman: James R. Smith Jr., Walter Moore, c. B. Mccormack and A. H. Woodward. chairman of the Wood ward Iron company, were also reelected
 The annual reports of the president and Secretary Davidson were read to the members and much qualification was expressed over the showing made The most encouraging statement in the an- nual reports was to the effect that fa- talties in the Alabama mines had been reduced over 50 per cent during the first five months of this year as compared to the first five months of last year. This information, it was suggested was substantial indication that the first aid work and safety first measures that have been in vogue among industrial em- ployes for sometime are bearing fruit and proving to be everything claimed for such precautionary measures.
 The operators apparently felt more in- terest in the announcement as to that reduction in fatal accidents than any item in the annual reports submitted Comments of most interesting character were made in regard to furthering this work and making further reductions in the number of accidents in Alabama mines.

WOMEN WILL NOT BE. ALLOWED ID VOTE IN. THE EFERENDUM
All Three Commissioners Opposed to Allowing Them to Express Opinion on the
 Five Commissioner Bill

Miss Nell Freeman and the Equal Suf- frage association notwithstanding, the gentle sex will not be permitted to "all dress up" and cast their ballots for or against the five-commissloner bill
 When questioned yesterday, President Ward of the city commission said; "l do not known that there is a necessity of anything being said by me regarding the petition of the suffragists that they be allowed to vote in the advisory referen- dunn on the fve-commissioner bill.
 'The fact is that there has been but one letter received from one lady, and you may say for me that it has been fled for future reference"
 Without saying anything for or against womans suffrage" said Commissioner Weatherly. when questioned on the mat ter, 'T am opposed to women voting in the advisory referendum. In the first place. it can be justly said. I think. that the present legislature is an anti-suffrage legislature. as the committees have prac- tically turned down the woman's suf- frage bills introduced.
 Therefore, women voting in the refer endum would merely give that anti-suf- frage legislature an excuse to ignore the result of the referendum by stating that we had imported a new vote and they therefore did not feel any duty to be bound by the result. But if we confine the ref erendum to the legal suffrage of the city the same voters who placed the members of the legislature in office, they can have no excuse to ignore the result of the election, whatever 1t may be.
 Tt is not an analogous case with the Ensley election for a member of the board of education. In that case we held the authority and the law provided that woman could hold the office which was to be filled and we merely wished to know In this case we wish to know the wishes of the people for the sake of the members of the legislature, and not for ourselves If the Jefferson county delegation was holding this referendum and requested that the wishes of women be secured as well as the wishes of male voters. then it would be different. In this case we want to register the wishes of the legal voters for the information of another body over whom we have no direct authority. For that reas we want to register only the votes recognized by law and the votes by which these same lawmakers were elected"
 Judge A O. Lane, commissioner of pub lie justice, whose stenographer and pri- vate secretary Miss Freeman formerly was, said: T am opposed to 1t for reasons too obvious to discuss"

DOLLY DALRYMP[E
 INTERVIEWS HUERTA
Age-Herald Representative Only Newspaper Woman in
 America Given Audience

The distinction of being the only news paper woman in America to be given an audience by General Victoriano Hucrta, deposed President of Mexico, since his ar rival in America May 13, was achieved by Dolly Dalrymple (Mrs. Orline ship man) of The Age-Herad, in New York.
 Her impressions of the dcposed execu- tive whose refusal to salute the American flag caused the invasion of Mexico by American troops. will be published ir The Age Herald Sunday morning. General Huerta does not receive newspaper repre- sentatves of whatever standing or intiu- ence and he has proven to be the most exclusive man in this respect that Amer ica has experienced in years
 Mrs. Shipman is the second woman rep resenting a newspaper to be given an au- dience by General Huerta. The other was sent from New York to Mexico City. General Huerta has denied interviews to some of the most noted journalists in the United States. and this fact renders the victory of Mrs. Shipman of even g.catcr merit. She was requested by .;encral Huerta not to quote him on Mexican problems and only to write whatever she thought was interesting about him aside from that subject.
 General Huerta Is residing now at Forest Hills, Long Island. The noted Mexican received the Birmingham news paper woman with marked cordia'ity and respect, as did Sonora Huerta and other members of the family. As a token of their respect Mrs. Shipman was presented with magnificent autographed photo- graphs of Senor and Sonora Huerta.
 This Journalistic victory of Mrs. Ship man is the second time Age-Herald rep resentatives have interviewed Mexican Presidents. It will be recalled that Hugh W. Roberts of The Age-Herad staff was given an audience and interview by tho late President Madero twhen Mir. Roberts visited Monterey about two years ago). The impressions of Mrs. Shipman of Gen eral Huerta will be illustrated in The Age Herald Sunday with the photographs pre- nented to hert

 Wherefore petitioner prays that your honor will set a day and time for the hearing of this motion. at which time retitioner prays that your honor will is- sue an order of this honorable court di- rected to Charles l.. Spain, coroner of Jefferson county, commanding him to have the body of Hugh Guthrie exhumed in order that it can be fully examined and the true nature and extent of his injuries fully and truthfully ascertained and grant to this defendant a new trial to which he will be entitled after the condition of deceaseds body has been re-

SEEK TO HAVE THE BODY OF
 HUGH GUTHRIE EXHUMED
Attorneys John Wilson Claim That Physicians Were Mis- taken in Their Testimony and Want Body Ex-
 humed to Prove This

Petition that the body of Hugh Guthrie be exhumed in order to contradict testi- mony given by physicians in the trial of John Wilson, and motion for new trial were filed in the criminal court yester- day at noon. Wilson was tried last week before Judge H. P. .Heflin, under an in dictment for the murder of Hugh Guthrie, and was convicted by the jury which fixed his punishment at 60 years in the penitentiary
 The killing occurred at wylam two years ago and was the result of a per- sonal difficulty between the two men. The state eontended the deceased was struck across the face with a blunt in strument, receiving injuries from which he died. The defense contended that the injuries were produced by the deceased falling across a railroad track. The de- fendant's attorneys contend that the de- fendant was convicted solely on the testi- mony of two physicians and ask Judge Heflin to order Coroner Spain to exhume the body in order to show the extent ot the wounds
 The motion is as follows;
