GEORGE BULLOCK GOES ID MEMPHIS Head of United Gas Says Jitneys Should Be
 Regulated

George Bullock, chairman of the Unl- ted Gas and Electric company's directors, left yesterday for Memphis to carry on the trip of inspection started at Bir- mingham. He said that there had been no development since his arrival which would change his former statement, that his visit here was more or less routine. He did discuss the jitney situation yes terday by asserting that he hoped there would be legislation against the unre- stricted operation of the jitney cars.
 We hope for a fair deal" said MT. Bullock. 'The street railway companies pay large taxes, have large investments and are otherwise responsible for their operations. The jitneys have no taxes to pay, are irresponsible and they will not last long. I am reasonably sure that there will be legislation which will regulate this very unjust competition. The jitneys take the cream of our transportation for which they pay nothing, and 1t is a great loss to our company have not seen the figures, but know we are losing heav- fly. The company came here when prof its were small and has an enormous in vestment here. We have tried to keep pace with every development and I am sure that the jitney services will finally be held unfair and decidedly unjust. In many cities remedial legislation has been passed, and I am certain that Birming- ham will do likewise"

 A brass band Will parade the streets several hours before the game opens.
 A committee was working on the re- tail merchants yesterday and IL was reported that a, great many of them will close. Their names will be pub lished tomorrow morning.

By a little more than two to one majority the s1,25O.o0o municipal bond is- sue to fund the citys debt was author ized by the voters of Birmingham yes terday.
 Every box in the city except three gave niaiorities for both bond issues.
 East Lake, the hctbed of the opposition and the voting place of Dr. w. D. Hank ins. who was active against 1t, gave the bond issue majority of 5s votes. This Is where Felix Blackburn, Tom McDon- aid and other opponents of the bond issue made their most spectacular fight and where James Weatherly delivered his ringing address on the bond Issue last Thursday night.
 Box in Precinct g, the voting place of Felix Blackburn, whose spectacular at- tecls upon the city government and the bond issue, were feature of the canl- raign. voted 215 for the bond issue and 17S against it.
 Avondale, the home beat of Dr. 1T. l.. Martin, who was chairman of the anti bond issue campaign committed. voted 14s for the bond issue and 6S against it.
 Only three boxes in the entire city voted against the issue and they were by small maJorities. They were Pratt City, East Thomas and Wylam.
 The majority in favor Of the s750, ,00C bond issue was 2257 and in favor of the s5oo,0oo bond issue was 9o45, the form CT having a majority of 112 votes larger than the latter.
 One of the greatest surprises of the re- turns was tine large vote cast, there hay ing been 6329 pallets cast-said to be the largest vote in the history Of the city on lone bond issue. The normal vote of the city is about 120o0.
 The election was very orderly. The opponents of the bond issue by noon conceded they had lost.
 The bond issue called forth one Of the most active campaigns ever conducted in the city for a similar issue Under the leadership of Sydney J. Bowie, cam paign speeches were made in all parts of the city and literature setting forth the true facts in the case was circulated.
 The committee proceeded along the line that all that was needed was a cam paign of education or information to give to the voters the real facts concern ing the different phases of the bond issue

DR. D|NSMORE SAYS
 MEDICAL BODY WILL STAND BY OFFICERS
Makes Reply to Assertions of Dr. GarbrOugh of Lee County in Sundays
 Age-Herald

Dr. W. W. Dinsmore, who is connected with the administrative section of the state health department, made state ment here yesterday in reply to that of pr. c. T. Marlborough. published in Sun days Age-Herald-
 pr. Yarbrough is representative from Lee county in the legislature and chair man of the committee on public health. and in his statement Sunday said that if the State Medical association did not straighten out its own affairs at the com ing meeting the subject would be brought before the legislature. Here is Dr. Dins- more's statement:
 ''Dr. Yarbrough of Lee county, who has suddenly come Into prominence as a rep Sesentative in the legislature and as chair man of the house committee on public health, has recently proclaimed through the newspapers that the so-called anti Sanders fight will be carried into the forthcoming meeting of the State Medical association to be held next week in Bir- sninghan1.
 ''Dr. Marlborough and his followers will discover that this fight will be cheerfully met on the floor of the association by an overwhelming majority of the rank and file of physicians of this state who believe that organized medicine in Ala hama exists primarily for the benefit O. her people in maintaining the states pub lie health system and not for the purpose of mere office holding by a few doctors who have vainly imagined that the State Medical association has grievously neg 7ected them and overlooked their virtues for so long.
 "In his newspaper interview Dr. Tar Borough carefully refrains from giving the public one very significant piece of information, viz, that although he has been a physician in Alabama for some 17 years. the records of the State Medi- cal association reveal the astonishing fact that he has attended only one of it's meet jngs during his entire career and careful eearcn fails to show wherein he has ever ,aken any material interest in public health questions. Notwithstanding this brilliant record, he now announces that he will lead a fight on the present state health officer, a man who has honored both the state and the profession by faithful, loyal service covering a period pf nearly 19 years.
 'It may be confidently predicted that when the personal animus and selfish in- terests which are behind this fight on the public health system of the state are fully exposed and given publicity during the meeting of the association, the peo- ple of the state will heartily approve the verdict which will certainly be rendered by that body
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-04-13
STATEMENTS FROM
 LEADERS IN FIGHT

Statements from Mir. Bowie and the com missioners on the result of the election were as follows
 George Ward: 'The result is fortunate in two ways.
 First. the good name and credit of the city has been made secure.
 ''Seccnd, the people have read and learned a great deal about their mu- nicipal operations.
 "They realize now, better than ever be- fore, that this great city is something to be proud of
 all the trouble and turmoil the campaign has cost
 Judge A. o. Lane: T am very much gratified at the results. The majority for the bond issue is just what l expected V
 James Weatherly: This has been a campaign of education.
 'The people now know all about the affairs of their city. Nothing has been concealed; nothing has been disclosed.
 "In the most trying period of Birming- hams history and at it's greatest crisis. the people have resolved all doubts in favor of their government, have decided to pay their honest debts, and to give their city clean bill of health.
 ''1t IS now up to the people to give their individual support to the city commis- sion in an effort to restrict the city s ''N their united influence on the present state legislature to give this great community the permanent relief that Is so badly needed.
 Finally. I should say that every con test of this sort brings the people of Birmingham so much nearer to the city g predestined goal of a united city wherein there shall be no north, no south, no east no west, but an individual unit-Birming- ham.''
 Sydney J. Bowie: q believe this Is the greatest victory so far as It's impor- tance to the city is concerned that has been gained In many years in Birming- ham. It will result not only in great beaefit TOW, but in the future
 There is cause for great congratula- lions on account of the fact that the suburbs as well as the city proper gave to the bond issue large majorities. It is an actual realization of our dream Of united city working for the common good of the citizens of it's every community.
 sI want to express my appreciation as the campaign manager of the bond issue of the wonderful assistance rendered by the press and my assistants at the cam pagn headquarters"

MILE. PAVLOWA PRAISES
 JUDGE HUNDLEYS DANCING
Greatest Dancer in the World Tells in Her Broken English
 "zee Grace and Zee Rhythm of Local Mans Dancing

At the beautiful dinner that was given in compliment to the great Russian dancer, MademoiselIe Anna Pavlowa, on Saturday evening at the Press club, when hundreds of people were present, little incident occurred which was not on the programme, but which proved to he one of the most interesting fea- lures of the evening.
 As the floor filled with the gay devotees of Terpsichore and tho dinner guests took their places about the table of the hon with gorgeous red roses and Russian flags gracefully arranged, Mademoiselle Pavlowa began to center her attention upon those who were tripping the light fantastic" and presently she singled out someone who attracted her attention especially.
 Everybody was wondering at first just who it was that the Premier Danseuse had become so much interested in. and pres ently their curiosity was satisfied
 Turning to someone nearby Mademoi- selle Pavlowa asked a certain gentleman's s name, and she was told that it was Judge Oscar R. Hundley-one of Birmingham g most popular gentlemen, and one of the city's best dancers
 Mademoisele Pavlowa noted the judge B dancing and commented favorably upon it, and seemed very much pleased
 Later Judge Hundley was presented to Mademoisele Pavlowa, who said to him most graciously. in her prettiest broken English:
 T have been asking who you are among all Zee dancers. l want to say zat you have zee artistic instinct and zat your dancing is very bootifu, I was greatly attracted to zee grace and zee rhythm zat characterizes your dancing and wanted to meet you so l could tell you so."
 Nademoiselle said that she would like very much to dance with Judge Iiundley except that she was ''vee-ry vee-ry tired"

REORGANIZATION
 PLAN|SAPPR0VED
 BY STOCKHOLDERS
Meeting of Jefferson County Bank Held Yesterday. Committee Successful
 in Placing Stock

The reorganization committee of the Jefferson County Savings bank met yes terday and later issued a statement in which it was said that there had been some indifference on the part of the savings depositors as to acceptance of the plan of reorganization
 It was stated that the committee was working tc place the additional s25o.oOo with desirable parties and had met with very fine success in that respect
 The committees statement was as fol- Jews:
 "A meeting of stockholders of the bank was held on April 12. at which authority was formally given to proceed with the plan of reorganization approved by the superintendent of banks. This action was informally authorized at the meeting of stockholders held in March, but final action could not be taken with reference to placing the new stock until ratified by the meeting held April F. The board Of directors and the committee on re- organization are now proceeding system atically to place with desirable parties that proportion o fthe s25O,ooo of new stock which has not been allotted.
 By the terms of the resolution of stockholders adopted April 12. the old stockholders will have the privilege of subscribing for their allotment of the new stock (s125.0oo until April %. after which date the committee will be under nc obligation to hold the right of sub scription open to present stockholders l- 1f. 1s.. tx.,,.. tox Is requested. The present stockholders and those desiring to subscribe for tho new stock are requested to communicate without delay with the committee on re- organization.
 applicants for the new stock are subject to the approval of the committee and to the right to allot any less amount than that subscribed for, in the event of over subscription.
 'The superintendent of banks will not authorize the opening of the bank in any evert before Monday, May 10, the limit within which all creditors and claimants of the bank, other than depostors. are required to file their claims. Whether the bank is allowed to open on that date or not will depend, first, upon the ques- ton whether the savings and interest bearing depositors have accepted the pro- visions Of the plan to the extent required by the superintendent of banks. About ger cent in number, representing about 15 per cent in amount, of these depositors have failed to signify their acceptance oi the plan. The superintendent of banks has indicated that he will not declare the plan operative-and this committee will certainly not so recommend-uniess these depositors, for whose protection substantial sacrifices have been made by others interested in the institution shall meet the requirement. of the superintend- ent of banks. It is probable that some of these have not been reached on ac- count of defective addresses; and by reascn of the necessity for expedition. tho committee requests that those who have received notice of the plan will signify their acceptance. in order that it may not be necessary to endeavor to locate them by publication

Carr Is Released

Watts, United States com missioner Judge Watts held a prelml- nary hearing of the case last week and reserved his decision pending the ex- animation by the doctors.
