TEXAS COMPANY
 TREASURER HERE w. A. Greene of Houston Pays Warm Tribute to
 Oscar Wells

w. A. Greene of Houston, treasurer of the Texas company, who was for some time manager of the Republic Iron and Steel company properties here, was in Birmingham yesterday. He is inspecting offices of the company. Since being treasurer MT. Greene has established a large office of the Texas company in Br- mingham, where an immense volume of business is being transacted. He said yesterday that the people of Texas have regretted few changes so much as the removal of Oscar Wells from Dallas to Birmingham. He said that MT. Wells was one of the most brilliant bankers the south has ever produced and that he would be of incalculable value to Bir- mingham and the First National bank.
 MT. Wells is one of the most popu- lar bankers that ever lived in Texas" said MT. Greene. That is witnessed by his unanimous selection as governor of the federal reserve bank at Dallas. No man could have secured that position by unanimous vote unless he had been re- markedly popular. MT. Wells has been banker for great many years and is thoroughly acquainted with the game from the bottom to the top. Birming- ham has secured man who will make citizen of great value and the First National has secured a president that I am positive will prove a great asset and great factor in Birmingham and Ala bama financial circles. His removal from Dallas was regretted by the entire state of Texas. I have known him sometime and I delighted that if he wanted to remove from Texas that he selected Bir- mingham as his new home.'
 MT. Greene said that business in Bir- mingham with his company was very good and that he expected gradual im- provement

EXPORTS PICK UP
 AT NEW ORLEANS
A. D. Lightner of Frisco Says Rail- roads Will Be in Market Soon
 for Necessary Supplies

A. D. Lightner. vice president of the Frisco Texas lines. arrived here yes terday with Mrs. Lightner on visit to local friends. He came from his headquarters in New Orleans and will be at the Tutwiler until he returns home. MT. Lghtner was for many years stationed here and Is regarded as one of the best informed railroad men in the south. He said yesterday that the Frisco lines would, he be- Iieyed, enter the market for supplies soon and that quite a large tonnage will be secured in Birmingham. He also said that business was improving and he thought it would continue to im- prove steadily
 CT am very optimistic over the sltu- ation," said MT Lightner. T think the worst of our trouble has passed and I believe that the conditions will i'm prove steadily from this time on until we attain that volume of business that we are accustomed to in the south. l think the railroads will be in the mar ket soon for new equipment and new maintenance Requirements which will include rails. Birmingham has most advantageous position when 1t comes to furnishing rails for southern lines as we'll as others and I believe that she will soon secure sufficient amount of orders as to insure steady opera ton of the steel mills.
 '1n New Orleans shipping is get ting better and the exports are picking up considerably. The opinion there seems to be that the war in Europe cannot last a great while longer and at It's conclusion we will have unpre- cedented prosperity.''

DIET HURLED BY
 RYA[L AND KNOX
FChallenge Bennett and Burr to Another Trial at Pitch
 ing HOrseshOes

George Knox and H. Scudder Ryall de- nied bitterly yesterday that A. V. Ben nett and Borden Burr defeated them at pitching horse shoes at Lake Purdy Wednesday at the barbecue given by the water company officials.
 q modestly restrain myself from time to time from getting into a newspaper controversy" said MT. Ryall and also MT. Knox, ''but my attention has been called to a statement that Mir. Burr and MT. Bennett defeated MT. Knox and my self while throwing shoes at the recent outing at Lake Purdy. As matter of fact, we defeated all corners without any effort to speak of When I submit that both MT. Knox and myself are from Ten nessee, it requires further verifica- ton to disprove the assertion that we lost. We defeated every man that en- tered and to show that we fear no rival We challenge MT. Burr and MT. Bennett to contest to take place at Lake Purdy or in the rear of Loveman, Joseph & Loebs We will furnish sufficient stake to make up the deficit in the city charity appropriations in order to disprove the slanderous report that has been circulated as to our inefficiency as pitchers of the lucky horse shoe. This closes the case for the defense.'
 When the attention of MT. Bennett and Mir. Burr was called to the statement of MT. Ryall and MT. Knox they said that at this time they did not care to be quoted but that later on there would undoubted- ly be issued a statement

Net Proceeds to Be Turned Over to the Trades Council for Char

The motion picture shows of the city will be permitted to operate Sunday after noon from 1 to 6 o'clock D. m., according to announcement made yesterday by the city commission.
 The entire net proceeds of the shows will be given to the Birmingham Trades Council for charity purposes. Managers of the shows are now selecting films for use Sunday. It is probable the shows will be operated for several Sundays, it is said
 Tt appears that there exists a supreme exigency which demands some such relief as the operation of the shows for char ity will give.'' said Commissioner Wealth. erly yesterday. .It is a question of hu- manity. Birmingham is faced with an ex- cepticnal situation that demands extra are hungry and without shelter. The whole net proceeds of these shows will go to these poor, and that alone justifies the operation of the shows"
 When the shows were operated some several Sundays ago over S30e was taken in in net proceeds and used for charity purposes. Officials of the Trades Coun- cil state that this money fed hundreds of people for a week more, and gave them other assistance, such as fuel, cloth ing and so forth. That attempt met with almost sensational opposition from the Ministers union and church organiza- tions of the city, and much interest is at tached to the question regarding what will be forthcoming from these sources Ecv'.

The officials will be here several days and will confer with local citizens interested in the Tutwiler and will make arrangements to stop opera ton of the buffet effective July 1.
 The officials said yesterday that busi- ness in the east was fine and that the indications pointed to a very marked in- crease in the volume of travel as com pared to the latter months of the last year. They said that while the situation in the south was not quite that encour- aging at the same time this section was making steady progress toward recovery.
 ''The Tutwiler is coming along in fine shape,' said MT. Rockwell. 'The business transacted has increased very noticeably and while it is encouraging at the same time we expect very marked increase from time to time. The travelling men are getting out now in greater numbers than during last year and this indicates that the trade for hotels will be much improved soon. We are very optimistic over the situation here, as we have the greatest faith in Birmingham

WARM STATEMENT
 FROM COL. BR|CKEN
Committee Would Surprise Itself if Anything Wrong
 Was Found

Col. Charles R. Bricken of Luverne was here yesterday. He is interested in a patent device for throwing street railway switches by the motorman without get ting off the car for that purpose, and will be present this morning when the tests are made on the Tidewater. Colonel Brick en was asked for statement in refer ence to the investigation at Montgom- cry relative to the militia in which he is a popular officer. Colonel Bricken said he did not care to make any lengthy statement.
 Everything looks wrong to that com mittee," said Colonel Bricken. "They are on the outside. If they happened to be on the other side. everything would be pretty. They have very little to do. If they find anything wrong they will sur prise themselves. There is nothing the matter in the militia that I have ever heard of which was borne out by investi- gations. I am proud of the Alabama troops that I have seen, and 1t Is a rather sorry pastime to be continually investi- gating when there is nothing to find out. The military needs encouragement instead of Encouragement. but 1t finds little in the committee Investigations that apparently are so in vogue"
