DR. WEIGH AND EAVES HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
Auto Skids and Plunges Over Em- bankment on Red Mountain While
 Returning From Mountain Lake

pr. Stuart Welch and George Eaves, Jr.. had a narrow escape from death yesterday afternoon at 12:3O o'clock when the machine in which they were return ing from Mountain Lake skidded just as they crossed Shades creek and began the decent of Red mountain. Eaves was riding on the running board of the car when the machine plunged over the em- bankment. pr. Welch was painfully bruised and cut and the car was de. molished.
 In telling of the accident MT. E,aves made the following statement: "Dr. Welch and I were returning from Mountain Lake. where a party of us had been camping. The tonneau of the car was loaded with mattresses we were bringing into town and in the front we had several articles. Just as we crossed the creek and began the decent of Red mountain we came to a spot in the road which was muddy. On account of the weight on the rear of the car the machine skidded sharply and somersaulted down the embankment. I was riding on the running board at the time and jumped. Luckily some of the mattresses in the rear of the car got be- tween pr. Welch and the earth. This saved his life in my opinion In few minutes some people in another machine came along and brought us into town.

WEST VIRGINIA HOTEL MAN
 MUCH IMPRESSED WITH CITY

times of the greatness of this city and It's attractions. I was in measure prepared for fine city, but even my roseate opin- ions have been exceeded by the wonderful things here. 1 have never visited a more attractive place than the Birming- ham Newspaper club, and I must say that 1 do not believe there exists a club of greater beauty or of more charm. That place should be a source of pride to every citizen of this place. The Tutwiler hotel is also a place of great charm and ono of the most comfortable that l have ever visited The men who made that possible should receive the thanks of everyone in this city,

DENIES PETITION
 FOR INJUNCTION Grubb Decides Against the
 Rose Liquor Go. ANTI SHIPPING ACT
ANTI . SHIPPING Al
Judge Grubb Holds That to Grant Pe- tition for Injunction at Present Time Would Bring About Unseemly
 Conflict Between Courts

Temporary injunction was denied by
 Judge Grubb in the case of the R. M.
 Rose Co. of Chattanooga. who sought
 to compel the Southern Express com
 pany to accept interstate shipments of liquor into "dry" territory of Alabama.
 The decision was handed down yester- day morning and is quite lengthy. The plaintiff sought to compel the express company to receive shipments
 of liquor in excess of the quantity pre-
 scribed by the antishipping law of the state. Quite a lot of litigation is pend ing in the state courts on the question and a decree was issued from a Mont gomery court forbidding it to accept such shipments. Judge Grubb holds that | to grant the injunction asked for at this time while the suits are pending would place the express company in a position in which it would have to disobey the order of one court or the other. which he states would be unjust and unseemly. | The merits of the case were not gone into
 l Attorneys for the plaintiff were Law
 renee Maxwell of Cincinnati. Allison, | Lynch & Philips and Herbert Jackson of 1 Chattanooga and Weil Stakely X Var | deman of Montgomery Attorneys for
 the defendant are R. C. Alston of At lanta, Judge $. D. Weakley, and Till
 man, Bradley & Morrow. 1 The application for temporary injunc- | tion was filed by the plaintiff as a ship per of liquor from another state Into Alabama, and sought to enjoin the de- l fendant from refusing to accept ship
 ments of liquor consigned to persons living in dry" territory for personal
 consumption. The express company re- | fused the shipments because of the l antishipping law which prevents con
 sumers receiving or having in their possession intoxicating liquors except in quantities limited by the terms of the act.
 l The plaintiff alleged that the anti | shipping act violated certain sections of the federal constitution. In his de- cision Judge Grubb reviews at length I litigation pending in Alabama in its state courts In which the constitution ! ality of the antishipping law Is at l tackled. A similar petition to the one l in question was filed in the Montgom- | cry city court in which a decree was
 rendered for the plaintiff perpetually enjoining the express company from re-
 fusing to accept shipments into dry
 territory in excess of the quantity fixed | by law An appeal to the supreme court
 was taken and will be argued during the present month. Other similar suits were filed and decree requiring the
 company to refuse shipments rendered
 and all are now pending in the court l of the state
 Judge Grubb holds that whili pendency of suits in the state
 does not operate to oust the jur'
 of the federal court as a fec

AGAINST ALABAMA PROH|S
(By Associated Press.)

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 9.-A
decision of much interest to prohibi-
tionists and anti" throughout Ala
bama and the South, lis that rendered
TODAY r. Judge Miller in injunction
proceedings brought by a Birming~
ham saloon man, who seeks to re-
strain state officials from preventing
the circulation of newspapers and pc
riodicals containing liquor advertise
ments.
Today's hearing before Judge Mil
Ter followed the granting of tempo
rary Injunction after an ex parte trial
upon motion of prohibition leaders
of Birming CHAM. The liquor men in
answering the prohi petition, alleged
the prohibition of liquor advertising
in Alabama, is incompatible with
sound principles of law and equity,
and upon their showing, Judge Miller
ruled the law is of no force or effect
until statewide prohibition goes into
effect July 1st.
The same issue has been decided by
a Montgomery judge favorable to the
prohis. and upon this ground an ap-
peal from the decision Of Judge Miller
has been taken, and the case now goes
to the state court of appeal for re-
view. ,t
