SAYS AIR SCOUTS
COULD SAVE LINERS
Naval Expert Urges Patrol
of Irish Coast TO De-
teCt Submarines.
BY GORDON BRTCE.

Two aeroplanes, assembled on the
deck Of the Lusitania. ready for instant
use, would have saved the great vessel
from destruction. Even one machine
probably would have been sufficient,
When the Lusitania entered the war
zone. II two aviators of ordinary ability
had been sent ahead Of the ship they
could easily have located any subma-
rires within radius Of ten miles. A
signal to the officers and the ocean ex-
press could have been turned from the
course over which she went to her
doom.
Either land or water machines could
be used TO protect liners from German
submarines. The land machines could
be launched from the deck and the fly
ing boats swung over the side TO the
surface of the water. Even at high
speed, mines or submarines can be de-
tectcd without any trouble, and the
aviators would be absolutely safe, be-
cause the underwater craft are not
equipped with guns for repelling air
craft.
No less an authority than Oryille
Wright has made strong assertions
that submarine cannot escape detec-
tion by airmen. Flying over the surface
Of the ocean, objects 20 a depth OF 100
feet are in plain view of the aviator,
owing TO the fact that the aeroplane
does not disturb the water.
In his report TO the Committee on
Naval Affairs Captain Mark L. Bristol,
head of the bureau of aeronautics Of
the navy, says: ANY nation that has
suitable aircraft can detect subma-
rines. The men in the aeroplanes can
see submarines and mines very plainly
from great distance and at fair altl-
tude."
According TO an officer Of the United
States submarine service, who now is
in this city, experiments have been
tried by United States naval men which
show that from height OF 1000 feet
the course of an undersea craft can be
followed plainly. Continuing, the same
officer said yesterday:
Il am of the opinion that II two or
three British aeroplanes had been pa
trolling the ocean off the Irish coast
they would easily have been able TO
have warned the Lusitania of her dan
ger, if, indeed, they could not have de-
stroyed or disabled the submarine by
dropping bombs upon her"
SO it would seem that the fitting out
Of British liners with temporary air
service would prove a reasonably re-
liable protection 10 passengers who are

MISS KELLY VICTIM
 OF APPENDICITIS
Well Known Newspaper Club Singer Underwent an Operation Yes
 terday Morning

Miss Florence Kelly, soloist at the Newspaper club, underwent an operation lat Tallys infirmary yesterday morning lat il o'clock for appendicitis. She was lstriclSen with the malady Saturday night and no time was lost in performing the |operation.
 It was stated at the infrmary yester- day afternoon that Miss Kelly had gone through the operation with wonderful sue \cess and while somewhat sick from the effects of ether, was in good condition.
 Miss Kelly has been employed by the Newspaper club for nearly a year as it's soloist and only recently resigned to enter vaudeville. She was to have gone to Chi cago yesterday to discuss an engage ment with the operators of the Inter- state Amusement company, which con- oern opens up the Majestic this even- ing. Her illness will delay her work for several months itsis believed. Since coming to the local club Miss Kelly. by her winsomeness and her ability as a singer, has won a host of friends. who will regret exceedingly that she has been taken i'll and has been forced to undergo tine dangerous operation.

 T did say that the feed bill at the 1913, to September 30, 1914, was $37, 6ss .90; that this feed bill had piled up under circumstances making bond easier given than at the present time and the harder the circumstances and conditions and harder the times under higher bond have to remain in jail.
 '.I want 1t understood that my effort to organize a grand jury in the circuit court Is in no way thrust at either the clerk sheriff solicitor. or anyone else connected with the criminal court I have each of them went into office and con sider each of them my friend.
 My effort will be to put the machinery of the circuit court into operation solely for the purpose of relief and I see no reason why we cannot move along in peace and harmony"
 Solicitor Black said last night that he was glad MT. Tate had disavowed the words attributed to him and that he also hoped there would be thorough harmony among the county's officials in order that the best results might be attained. Judge Black indicated that at a later time he would probably have something to say on MT. Tates suggestion that tile cir cult court exercise its criminal jurisdic- ton.

MAJESTIC IS AGAIN
 OPEN FOR BUSINESS
Same Staff With One Ex- ceptiOn Which Was on
 Duty Last Year

More than ordinary significance at taches to the reopening of the Majestic theatre this afternoon, for not only was the Majestic the first high class vaude- vile house of Birmingham to be opened to the public, but with one exception the same staff Is now in charge as was lon duty" when it closed year ago.
 Col. J. R. Johnson of St. Louis, who has probably built more theatres in tho south and west than all other archi- tects combined, completed the Majestic theatre in 1905 and on July 1, 10 years ago, it's premier performance was wit messed. Associated with Colonel John son was John Eberson. an architect of Chicago, and both he and Colon John son were the guests of Frank Perry, the first manager, for the opening per formance.
 Harry Stevenson was the next manager, the building being remodeled at an ex- pense of about s2O,Oo0 in 1909 reopening who was succeeded by Carl F. Rettick when he left to take the management of the house of the same name in Dallas. Tex
 Ray Whitfield succeeded Rettlck, who manager the house until the organization of the Birmingham Theatre company, to the control of which the Majestic was re- linquished as the final round of one of the most spectacular and interesting "the- atrical wars in the southern history of the stage, the many episodes of which, transpiring during Ray Whitfield's re- gime. attracted wide attention.
 The Majestic was the pioneer high-cass vaudeville house of Birmingham, cater ing to women and children. and Leon Burger of Birmtngham was treasurer for great many years. MT. Burger left Birmingham to take the management of later returned to enter the Burger Dry Goods company, at the head of which is his uncle Jacob Burger.
 0. r. Gould is still with the Interstate company. which controls the Majestic, located at Fort Worth. Tex. the com bring point of the Interstate circuit. Mir. Whitfield is also still with the Interstate company, having the management of the Majestic theatre in San Antonio, Tex. Oscar Wasson was appointed treasurer of the Majestic to succeed Mfr Burger and when the house was turned over to the Birmingham Theatre company, accepted similar position with them. Now that the Interstate Amusement company, of which Karl Hoblitselle Is president. has again unfurled its ban ners in Birmingham. MT. Wasson has re- turned and will be In charge of the box office of the Majestic.

FIELD ARTILLERY
 WILL BE INSPECTED Capt. Marlborough Churchill of United States Army
 Here All Week

The annual inspection of the field ar tillery battalion of the state will take place this week. Commencing this morn- ing, Capt. Marlborough Churchill of the field artillery U. s. A, will begin his check of the property of the headquarters. Battery A and Battery c, which organ izations are located here in Birmingham. It Is expected that this work will consume tho entire week. as both batteries are now completely equipped for immediate field service.
 The dismounted inspection of the organ izations will take place at night at the armory. and will occur as follows:
 Headquarters. Maj l.. $. Dorrance, con- manding, Wednesday night, Tebruary A; Battery c. Capt. Ed l.. Anderson, com manding, Thursday night. February 25: Battery A, Capt. Frank Film, command ing, Fridly night. February 26.
 large amount of importance is be- ing placed this year on the attendance of the men. at these dismounted inspec- tions. and the men will find that 1t will be not only to the interests of their or ganizations that they should be in at- tendance. but to their own as we'll Steps will be taken through regimental court martial to punish those who fail to be present. Under a recent ruling of the division of militia affairs at Washington, the government appropriations will be allotted according to the actual number of men in line, instead of the cotAplete enrolment, as in previous years. The pos sibility of the organization being placed in camp of instruction this year will also be determined by the showing made at this inspection.
 The officers of these local batteries are anxious to make an extraordinary showing at this inspection, as they have worked hard during the past year to com ply with the ever increasing requirements of the war department. This has been an unusual strain on them, as the busi- ness conditions in this district for the past six months have thrown scores of their men out of work which means that most of them have drifted to other cities in search of employment
 This Is a condition which the officers have not had to contend with before in years The men are being cautioned that their individual absence means an additional loss to the state of military funds.
 A gunners examination will be held at the armory on Wednesday night. at which time quite a number of enlisted men will attempt to qualify as first and second-class gunners. This additional rank is a sign of exceptional efficiency, and one which every man likes to dis play. if he can stand the examination.
 Captain Churchill win remain here the entire week. and will then report back to his station in Washington.

THOMAS MURRAY DEAD
Was for Many Years Sexton of St.
 PauPs Catholic Church

Thomas Murray, for many years sex ton of St. Paul's church, died at St. Vincent's hospital yesterday evening. Pneumonia was the immediate cause of death The infirmities consequent on extreme old age deceased being 75 years old, had so weakened him that he was unable to rally and throw off the malady as a younger man might have done
 MT. Murray was native of Ireland. As a young man he went to Scotland and from there emigrated to America. He was fond of travel and visited prac- tically every state in the union. The southern states. He has relatives in Texas, Kansas and Illinois. The Rev Father Coyle in speaking tenderly of him said that Mir. Murray was always painstaking and conscientious in the discharge of his duties around the church and was edifying in his piety and devotion, never missing holy com munion and daily mass.
 The deceased was a charter member of the Holy Name society. He will be buried from St. Paul's church Ut the o'clock mass Tuesday morning. The body will lie in state in the church this afternoon and tonight.
 Members of the Holy Name society are requested to attend the funeral of their deceased brother. Lige Loy has charge of the funeral arrangements.

ZOO WILL NOT FALL VICTIM 1o X" OF
 THE Sl,ant,1lNlSS|ON
Weatherly States Appropri- ati0n Will Not Only Be Maintained, But Improve
 ments Are Contemplated |,

James Weatherly, city commissioner, in whose department comes the city parks and the Avondale zoo. last night author- ized the statement that the city com mission, in it's present plan of retrench- ment. would not decrease abolish the appropriations to the zoo.
 On the other hand. Mir. Weatherly in- dicated that the commissioners intend- ed to use their every effort to build up the zoo and make it a real recreation spot for the Birmingham public. There are live animals out there that we have got to take care of said MT. Weath- erly last night and we propose to do so. There is common interest in the zoo among all classes of Birmingham s people. It is human interest to love and cherish such an institution and I believe the city should maintain it and at every opportunity improve and enlarge 1t.
 'The members of the commission them- selves feel live interest in the zoo. The engineering department has exten- sive plans mapped out for the improve ment and Identification of the park and animals pens and the commissioners hope to work out this plan just as speedily as we can feel justified in spending what little money it will require
 As published in The Age-Herald sev eral days ago, plans have been draft ed by the engineering department for ex- tensive improvements at the Avondale zoo, among them being a driveway out to the west of the zoo coming around and ascending the mountain, and then, along it's crest until it descends to the east of the big spring. An observa- tion tour on the top of the mountain, a system of walkways, picnic tables and park benches, a spring house and a re- production of an old mill at the springs with other general landscape work are among the plans already outlined
