GEORGE BULLOCK
 IS SERIOUSLY ILL
This Precipitated Election of Pevear to Presidency of
 United Gas Company

That George Bullock, chairman of the United Gas and Electric directors. is dan gerousy i'll and is to take four months trip to Bermuda and that this precipitated the election of J. S. Pevear as president, was made known here yesterday. MT. Bullock, who was to visit Birmingham recently, gave up coming and at the time there was some speculation as to the cause of his absence. It was stated yes- terday that MT. Bullock has been i'll for sometime, but only recently his physi- cians advised a complete rest until he was fully recovered. The trip to Bermuda and other southern islands was recom- mended. The directors, thereupon elected Mir. Pevear, the present head of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany, to the enforced vacancy. Mr. Pe- year was here yesterday for few hours en route to New York, where he goes to assume the presidency of the United Gas and Electric While in the city yes terday he again denied the report that he was to leave the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company as pres ident. He said that so far as he knew there was no likelihood of a change at this time and certainly none involving the presidency.
 MT. Pevear said that he could discharge the duties of president quite as well in New York as he could in New Orleans and that he would continue to sign pa pers and discharge such executive duties a5 were necessary. MT. Pevear was sue IAI Orleans street railways by Dan D. Cur ran, former president of the New Or leans and Northeastern railway.

Truce Between Jake Wells and Interstate Amusement Company Seems to
 Have Ended

The war between Jake Wells of the Keith circuit and Karl Hohlitzelle of the Interstate Amusement company has been reopened By agreement hostilities We're closed nearly year ago but Mr, Hoblitzelle came to town again yes terday and announced that he intend ed to reopen the Majestic theatre with. a full line of vaudeville He said tha I he could not at this time announce the { definite date for the opening of that's theatre but that 1t would be In the ' immediate future. This announcements will cause widespread interest in Bir a mineham on account of the fact thath the plans will put two high class vaud4 eville companies in competition and in houses both of which are owned bv Gen. L. V. Clark
 Mir. Hoblitzelle and Mir Wells came to an agreement about a year ago that the Majestic and the Lyric would not operate in competition. The agreement was not reached until there was an injunction or two from each side, then conferences between attorneys and finally truce was arranged between the warning factions by mutual friends
 'rhe Wells crowd have broken their contract" said Mir. Ioblitzelle last night at the Hillman, "We signed n truce and after he has violated his contract l feel at liberty to reopen the Majestic. This will be done al siA.-. have lease on that place and Just as soon as a little paint soap and wa ter can be used the place will be re- opened with our regular high class acts
 'The Interstate Amusement company proposes to reopen the Majestic at once and resume it's old place in tha af- fections of local theatregoers. 1 will re- main In the city until the necessary repairs are made to the Majestic"

 -C. s. SHANK
Stops Over Here En Route to Florida and Is Aston
 ished at Attractions

c. s. Shank. widely known contrac- tor of Erie. Pa, with Mrs. Shank. was here yesterday. Mir. Shank said he had been told that Birmingham was a pleas ant place to stop over en route to Flor Ida, and that he decided to avail himself of the opportunity. He is stockholder and officer of a new hotel in Erie, which Is operated by the United Hotels com pany also operating the Tutwiler, and he was immensely pleased with the latter. He yesterday visited Ensley, Fairfield the Newspaper club and said of all the clubs he had ever seen that was the prettiest and most attractive in every way. Incidentally he is president of the principal downtown club in Erie.
 n am astonished over the attractive ness of Birmingham said MT. Shank, while Mrs Shank voiced the same opin- ion. Why have never seen such pretty homes and such wonderful settings for beautiful residences This city is a mar velous place. I was greatly surprised at the magnificence of the Tutwiler and cannot find words to express my admi- ration for the Newspaper club.
 We started to Florida and someone suggested at the new hotel we have in Erie that the United Hotels company was operating the Tutwiler and that Birmingham was worth stopping over to see. We decided, therefore, to spend a day or two here, and that is why we came. Birmingham Is so attractive and so interesting that I am astonished that the people here do not advertise the place more. Why, soul alive, l believe that a perfect caravan of travellers would stop here every winter route to Florida 1T they only knew how wonderful the place is and how comfortable you make a visitor. l cannot say too much for the kindness of the people and the hospitality they have shown us. This makes great impression upon travellers. and You may be assured that I shall be quite long time forgetting Birmingham if I ever do'
 MT. Shank, whose business requires him to keep in close contact with develop ments said yesterday that business was getting better every day, and that 1915 would prove to be a surprise in the busi- ness volume before the end even as 1914 was surprising toward the close. Mr. and Mrs. Shank will leave this morning for Florida.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Opposes Change in Courts

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 l notice the advertisement of a Dill to be presented for passage at the present session of the legislature. known as the municipal court bill The bill provides for the abolition of all the inferior courts of Greater Birmingham. except Ensley. It also provides for the abolition of the justices of the peace in all the precincts in Birmingham or lying partly within the corporate linn it's of Greater Birmingham and ere ates in lieu thereof three courts to be known as the municipal courts. The bill further provides for the taking care of the two present judges of the courts of common pleas by making ihem judges of the municipal courts and an additional judge to be appointed by the governor. Int three judges are to hold court in the courthouse of Bir- mingham. It also provides for three clerks and three deputy clerks As a citizen and taxpayer of North Birning- ham, precinct AZ, I want to go on rec ord as opposing such a measure for many reasons, few of which ! will mention. l. Because of the increased eX- pense to our county, namely: Three judges at sS6Oo per year. slO,Soo; three clerks at $500 per year. $4500; three deputy clerks at s70o per year. s.1oo total, $17400 to say nothing of office fixtures and expense.
 2. The inconvenience and extra ex- pense of going to the courthouse to file all suits with an added fee of 50 cents for filing. Is it right for a man doing business four or five miles from the courthouse to be compelled to go there with all petty suits?
 3. Why should Ensley be exempt? :? Is it because Ensley has senator and a representative in the capitol? Are not East Lake. Woodlawn, North Birming- ham, Pratt City and West End entitled to as much consideration as Enslcy?
 It is generally conceded that neith- CT the courts of common pleas nor in- ferior courts are f-sustaining. Then why should the good people of Jeffer- Son county, who are being taxed to the last degree. assume an additional bur den to help fill the coffers of few selfish politicians?
 4 The framer of this bill desires to nave the Judges of the municipal courts selected by a few instead of a being elected by the people. Why? Is it be- cause 1t is impossible for some peo- pie to be elected and is this the req son that this smooth politician in draft ing his bill prepares a soft place to land?
 It is my opinion bill should be introduced at the present session of the legislature to make the office of the judge of the court of common pleas an elective one. Not that have lost confidence in the appointing Judges, but the people should have the right to say who shall serve them. let us assert our. rights. Yours truly,
 JOHN A. WATFORD.
