Truss cared to make statements for pub lication, though it is understood from a reliable source that MT. Hordnady be- lieves that no referendum should be held at the city's expense unless the commits sion was compelled to do so by the pres entation of a legalzed petition Commis- sioner Truss merely said:
 "Tll wait till l get to the barrier before I attempt to jump over it.
 As to the moving picture men, it is un- derstood that they will have legal rep resentatve at the meeting this morning to protest against the proposed referen- dum
 We have stood the verbal abuse of the people opposed to Sunday moving pictures for several years,' said President T. $. Abernethy of the Strand Amusement com pany, last night, without q murmur of protest. We have never requested the opening of the theatres on Sunday. and the agitation for their opening was in tiated by the general public and the newspapers. Several weeks ago at the instance of Commissioner Arle Barber the theatres were allowed to open on Sun day and we understood that we would not be closed again unless the anti's pre- scented a petition with the names of 150t qualified voters calling for a referendum.

In addition to the election of officers, there will be work in the several ranks of the order, the candidates including one of the present membe,s of the board of city commissioners All members of the crGer are invited to attend the meeting tonight, which will be held at the Odd Fellows hall at West End

STARVING SOLDIERS
 OF VILLA MAKE
 DESPERATE RAID
(Continued from Page One)

tempt was made to pay off in Carranza currency rioting would be resumed.
 The Villa soldiers upon their arrival re- fused to accept the surrender to the de facto government, arranged yesterday, until the agreement was signed by Gen. eral Manuel Ochia.
 During the afternoon an emissary reached Mexican Consul Garcia with the information that General Ochia had promised to sign the agreement to sur render and turn his men over to the de facto government but tonight this formally had not been consummated.
 American owners of several hundred Jockey club hastily crossed to the United States during the rioting and General Cchia sent guards to the race track.
 VILLA EXPECTED
 During the afternoon it was reported iE Juarez that General Francisco Villa would reach there today. but early to- night he had not put in appearance. An- dreas G. Garcia, Mexican consul, an- rounced that Villa had been located at the Bostillo ranch west of Chihuahua City, that he would not come to the bor- der and that he intended to continue op- position to the de facto government.
 CarranZa officials stated that General Alvaro Obregon was en route from Her mosillo to take command in Chihuahua They expect Obregon to reach here to- morrow
 An order issued by Fl Paso police to- night forbade Americans to cross the river to Juarez.
 Regarding the casualties in Juarez, General Ochia said tonight that seven rioters were killed in one store where they had murdered the Chinese proprietor and were footing. Including two Mexi- cans killed at the International bridge this would make 10 known killed in JuareZ.
 escaped from mob by jumping aboard street car bound for Fl Paso. Several of the mob pursued him. and others smashed the windows with stones. A tourist automobile in another part of the town was stoned and rushed for the bridge

MEASURE AFFECTS
 BIRMINGHAM ONLY
Therefore Voters in Other Cities of State Will
 Vote for It

No opposition has developed over the state to the constitutional amend ment which would give Birmingham the right to regulate it's tax rate for city taxation. which will be the issue
 at the election throughout Alabama next Monday. The fact that no other city in the state can be affected by the result, has caused the voters in other counties to favor the amendment with
 out further consideration. The appeal which was issued by the publicity com | mittee, with it's countless reasons fav- bring the proposition, is bearing fruit and will doubtless serve to bring out much larger vote than would other wise have been cast.
 It is believed here that the amend ment will carry in the city of Birming
 ham by large majority Since the
 amendment does not provide for any increase in the tax rate, but merely removes the restrictions of the present state constitution, and grants to the qualified voters of the city the right to increase the tax rate to I5 mills no organized opposition has developed here. It is pointed out here that the | tax rate of Birmingham is now limited to 10 mills, which is five mills lower ! than Mobile, two and one-half mills io"SA th"H NhoiitSoHueiy ana dpOuC seven mills lower than other city in the country of the size of Birming- ham.
 That it would be necessary to ask for an increase in the rate of taxa tion in case the amendment carries is by no metans certain. 1t is believed by many taxation experts here that when the equalization board concludes it's work of regulating the assessments on property, there will be no necessity for any increase. Those who favor the amendment are urging 1t on the ground that the city of Birmingham should have the right to fix its own tax rate and not have it fixed arbitrarily by the state constitution.

Blanks Everett Returns After Several Days Visit-Farmers Learning
 What Thrift Is

Sumter county is learning what thrift is said w. Blanks Everett, assistant secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who is in his office after an absence of several days. That part of the state demonstrates prosperity in every way good roads, ,silos, well kept farms and blooded live stock.
 Those farmers are teaching their sons to be thrifty, for I found an unusual num- her of youngsters who are owners of reg istered cattle or hogs that they had fought with their savings. The rich farm ing lands of the west are not any better than those in Alabama and in a few wears Alabama farms will far surpass all others in the richness of their yield and the high degree of cultivation.'
