Deaths and Funerals
Arcus o. Humphries

Anniston, December 13.-(Speoial.) The funeral tservices of Arcus O. Humphries at the Baptist church in Oxford Sunday afternoon was attended by a large number of relatives and friends. The service was conducted by Rev. J. A. Johnson. pastor, and Rev. c. M. Jones, former pastor, who came from Lineville to assist in the services. A fitting and appropriate tribute to the memory of MT. Hum phries was the attendance of fully 800 white friends and half as many col ored people, all of whom braved the severe weather for the purpose. After the service at the church the beautiful ceremonial of the Knights of Pythias was carried out at the grave. Among the out-of-town relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral were
 Charles and William Humphries of Paris, Tex, Louis Humphries of Bes- semer, Rev and Mrs. C. N. James of Lineville, J. c. Harrison of Atlanta, Jerry Laird of Birmingham, Mrs B. F.. Johnson of Birmingham, J. B. King, and family of Birmingham, Mrs. L. E. Harrison of Attalla

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 13.-(Special.) These sharp fluctuations since the bu- reau report was issued show how the markets on both sides of the Atlantic, which used to be interwoven, are so no longer. Therefore, when a decline or an advance reaches a number of scattered stop orders there are not buyers or sellers enough in any one market to stabilize prices as there used to be when transactions with Liverpool permitted distribution of any sudden buying or selling. On the opening there were enough selling orders to again depress the market until Liverpool received word of the decline and then they sent continuous buying orders, which, together with the demand from northern spinners. absorbed the offerings and slowly ad- vanced the market until it closed with in two to four points of Saturday S final. The decline seems to have been due to a desire to liquidate in our market suddenly more cotton than 1t could take care of in hurry. It is evident that Manchester needs cot ton and will continue to buy, either on advances or declines. Of course, it would rather buy on weak markets, but it has to buy in larger quantities.

 of Admission of State to the Naturalization Programmes

This is Alabama's ninety-fourth birthday. December IA, 1S19, the state was admitted to the union. Celebration of this event will be held today in all of the city and rural schools of Jef- ferson county. A half hour has been set apart by the principals during which an appropriate programme will be presented, consisting of songs and recitations and historical essays.
 The birthday of the state was first formally celebrated in Birmingham in 1899 by the department of history of the women's clubs of which Mrs. Idyl At her suggestion an Alabama day programme was carried out and since then have been held each year with growing interest.
 Alabama day has been indorsed by the State Federation of Women's clubs, the Alabama Historical society, the Jefferson County Teachers association, Daughters of the Revolution, the Ala bama Educational association and many other organizations which will observe the day.
 The Pierian club of Woodlawn is the pioneer in the movement for the fit ting observance of the anniversary of the admission of Alabama into the union and Much of the interest that is felt in the event over the state is at tributed to this club and Mrs. Sorsby, who organized the club.
 The observances each year have been growing in widespread appeal and those behind the movement are hope ful that by the time the state centen- ,fo1 arvixr hn tot xxyi11 he ciently aroused to arrange a fitting celebration and it is with this object in view that Mrs. Sorsby is working sc hard.

Although outnumbered ten to one bv the Bulgarians, the British forces in Servia have been able to recross the Greek frontier and are said to have an open pathway to their base at Saloniki.
 Whether the Bulgarians will keep up their pursuit and invade Greece has not been made known.
 Unofficial advices from Athens are that the Greek troops in the region which the entente allies must use in their operations have been withdrawn and that the zone between Saloniki and Doiran is free for the allied move ment. It also is said that assurances regarded as satisfactory have been given personally by King Constantine to the entente ministers.
 Accounts vary as to the British losses during the retreat Berlin an- nounces that approximately two Brit ish divisions were annihilated. Other reports said the withdrawal was be- ing effected in an orderly manner and without extremely heavy casualties.

 An appeal to the rulers of Europe was sent out by wireless today addressed to each reigning monarch, reading:
 Sir: We come in this time of trouble to add to your burdens in no manner, r'lt to help lift them, not to consider which nations gre most to blame for the disas- ter that has befallen Europe, but to end the strife, not to intrude ourselves upon your national life and national ideals, but rather with an earnest desire to un- derstand them and a heartfelt wish to aid in realizing them.
 "The love of country for which every day tens of thousands Of lives are sacri- ficed is the same in every land. Your nation, like the people of all the other belligerent countries. is fighting for it's national existence and it's best national traditions and so there can be no irrec- onciliabe differences. Such common ideals surely must afford basis upon which to establish a magnanimous and honorable peace.

 We, as neutrals, are about to join Tn a conference which shall without delay, frame and submit to you and all the other beiligerent nations, proposals as basis for discussion leading to the final settle mcnt Therefore, we do earnestly entreat YOU and the rulers of all the other war ring nations to declare an immediate truce. Let the armies stand still where they are. Then let negotiations proceed so that the soldiers may be delivered rom another bitted winter in the trenches ana sent back to their labors and their fire sides. As there is no other way to end the war except by mediation and discus sion. why waste one more precious human life? For the sake of humanity

Democratic House Caucus Decides to Extend Law
 to Close of 1916
HOUSE EXPECTED TO
 DECIDE ON MONDAY
Majority Leader Kitchin, Who Will Introduce Resolution, Warns All Members to Be Present When
 Vote Is Taken on Measure

Washington, December 13=House democrats in a caucus tonight agreed to support a resolution designed to ex- tend the life of the present emergency tax without change until December 31, 1916, or for one year.
 The resolution will be introduced to- morrow. It probably will be voted on Thursday. Democratic leaders tonight predicted its adoption in both houses not later than Saturday, when the Christmas recess will be taken if the measure is out of the way.
 Only two of the 150 democrats who attended the caucus declined to be bound by it's rules. Representative Heating of Colorado and Representa- tive Galloway of Texas said they had promised their constituents to oppose continuation of the tax and that they intended to keep faith with them. The chairman, Representative Saunders of Virginia, said the caucus rules would be not binding upon them under the circumstances. Majority Leader Kitch- in, who presented the proposal to- night and who will introduce the reso- lution, warned the members that they must do their utmost to have all demo- cratic members on the floor Thursday. Otherwise, he said, grave danger would lie ahead of the resolution.
 MT. Kitchln was interrogated ex- tensively on revenue plans generally and was on the floor almost an hour. Several representatives who had threatened fight on any plan to ex- tend the law indefinitely remained quiet when the limited time proposi- tion was preached.
 Representative Kitchin explained after the caucus that the years ex- tension did not mean necessarily that the tax would be imposed during this full period. It's future will depend. he said, solely on what course other rev enue legislation takes. It is possible, he said, that the present tax law will be entirely repealed or amended, ma terially. MT. Kitchin's estimate is that if the present administration plans carry and the tariff is kept on sugar $125, ,000 900 more than can be raised by the emergency tax will be required to run the government during the coming year.
 At present the emergency tax is net ting between se,0o0,0oo and $7,0oo,0oo monthly.

MIR. BARBER AND DICK WRAY
 CLASP HANDS AND BURY THE |FIATCF1ET AFTER FIVE YEARS

An occurrence which citizens of Bir- mingham had thought was among the impossibilities was offered spectators in the first division of the criminal court yesterday afternoon when Com missioner Arlie Barber and Dick Wray clasped each others hand.
 MT. Barber" declared Wray, with apparent earnestness, 'I have learned my lesson. From this time on my name will never appear on the docket"
 q believe you," responded MT. Bar Der, speaking to Wray for the first time in five years, and the two clasped hands,
 The occasion came when the case of the state vs. Wray, charged with car rying concealed weapons, on warrant sworn out by J. J. Barber, father of Commissioner Barber, was called for trial. The case grew out of the as- sault on the younger MT. Barber in his drug store in the latter part of 1910 in which Wray was implicated.
 On the assault charge Wray paid fine of $500 and served 60 days in jail sometime ago. This is the last of the cases growing out of the famous assault on Arlie Barber and Wray was anxious to have it cleared up. After the conference between Wray, w. S.. Welsh, assistant solicitor, and MT. Bar Der, it was agreed that on February Is Wray should plead guilty to the charge and accept fine of $50 and pay the court costs amounting to something like S250, making a total of $500
 After these arrangements were made came the reconciliation. As MT. Bar Der started to leave the courtroom Wray approached him and spoke with evident feeling:
 MT. Barber. I want to apologize to

of the city, and one of the best known and most respected citizens of the county. He died Sunday morning after a long illness at his home, 316 East Thirteenth street. He came to Annis- ton in 1883, when the city was in it's infancy His first work was survey and laying off of Oxanna, now part of Anniston. Since that time he has made many surveys in this city and county, and his maps of Anniston and Calhoun county are evidence of his genius as cartographer as well as a civil and topographic engineer.
 MT. Hunter was the scion of distin- guished Virginia family of whom his father, the late R. M. T. Hunter, was an honored member.
 Since the death of his daughter, Lena, a few years ago, his health has not been good, and he is said to have mourned for her constantly. He had recently expressed his intention to an old friend of returnieg g to hts family

you for what I did. I am awfully sor- l ry 1t happened and all I hope is that there are not any holes in your head | where I hit you. I have learned my les ! son, MT. Barber, and from this time
 on my name will never appear as a defendant on a criminal docket. I want | to apologize again for the assault on | you" And Wray held out his hand. MT Barber, without a moments hest-
 tation, clasped it, and answered; ''I have never had any personal ani- mus against you and I have no desire f to persecute you l am glad to shake | hands with you and to know that you have strengthened yourself out" The reconciliation is an echo of one of the most sensational episodes in the history of Birmingham. From it dates the rise of Arlie Barber to prominence.
 It was during the days of the early prohibition era and MT. Barber was dissatisfied with the way in which the
 laws were being enforced. He went into police court and in stinging lan- guage denounced the vio1ators of the law and was particularly severe on gamblers.
 At 5 o'clock that afternoon num-
 Der of men came into the store of MT.
 Barber, then on First avenue just east
 of Twentieth street, and assaulted him. He was struck over the head with the putt or plstol ana desplte ms eAloI ts to defend himself was badly mauled about the face.
 The city was paralyzed with amaze-
 ment and feeling ran high Warrants
 were immediately sworn out and Wray
 was placed under heavy bond As
 stated above, he has served 60 days
 in jail and paid a fine of $500 for the
 assault, while other members of the
 party were similarly punished.
 Tn connection with the reconcilia
 tion yesterday, in which all Birming-
 ham will be interested. it was charged
 by some of MT. Barber's opponents
 in his race for commissioners that he was supported by the former gamblers of the city.
