HENDERSON TO
RETURN TO CAPITAL
EARLY THIS WEEK

Montgomery, April 17-(speciaI.) ---Gov-
ernor Henderson will return next Monday
or Tuesday from New York, where he
went the first Of this week to attend to
business for the state. 1t is presumed
that the governors business in New York
had to do chiefly with financial matters,
though he did not indicate that such was
the purpose of his visit to the. big eastern
metropolis.
During the governors absence nothing
of Importance has occurred at the state
capitol. A number of state officials have
been out Of the city on business con-
nected with their departments and there
have been few visitors to the capitol
The activities at the state house next
week will be featured by sessions Of the
legislative committee on finance and tax
alton. which will return to Montgomery
on Monday for a weeks labors During
the week the committee will receive tax
officials of Montgomery and other coun-
ties In this part Of the state and will con-
fer relative to matters of taxation and
finance. The committee spent the greater
part OF the past week in Birmingham and
north Alabama.

GADSDEN

Gadsden, April 17.-(Special. )-Gads-

on the progressive side, and favoring
certain reforms, when the state medi-
cal association meets in Birmin CHAM
next week. There are only few re-
dictionaries in the association here, it
was learned today. Local physicians
would have the county health officer
devote his entire time to the work, and
that he should inspect almshouses and
prisons, doing away with the necessity
for a state Jail inspector. The college
of consuls is in disfavor here A thor
ough probe of the recent examination
scandal in the state medical depart
ment is sought.
That the advance in cotton prices is
a trick to fool farmers and to prevent
the reduction of acreage is the state
ment of w. c. Bellenger, prominent
banker and cotton man. If the crop
next year is not more than 10000, 900
bales, he says, farmers can get rs
cents a pound for 1t, war or no war.

Indian Council Will Be Held
Friday Night, May Z.
Few Details of Conference
Yet Known

One of the largest events of the Older
Girls conference. to be held May Z, s
and 9, is the Indian council, to be held
Friday night, May I. Great interest is
being manifested in the council of Indians
and members of the conference through
out Birmingham are wondering who
among the girls will be honored with In
dian names. To have an Indian name
conferred upon her. a girl must reach a
high standard in the work of the confer
ence.
The meeting ground of the council has
not yet been determined upon, and the
question will be passed around every Sun
day school in Birmingham this morning,
.where will the camp fire be held" The
council is known to most of the girls as
the camp fire, but it has absolutely no
conneo ton with the camp fire girls, being
strictly a girls conference affair.
Indian names are to be given IL girls
this year, but the names of these girls
will be withheld until the time OF the
council The manner of comforting the
Indian name is somewhat unique. The
recipient of the name must write her real
name on a slip of paper, which then is
thrown into the huge camp fire and
burned The big chief then announces
that forever after in the sacred circle
she must be known by the name, which
is then pronounced and given her
