On last Saturday morning, october 90. 1e15 Miss Alma Rittenberry presented the following motion to the Birmingham Equal Suffrage association. which was passed and will be acted upon by a com mittee of five, who will have an audience with the board of review on Thursday; Madam President of the Birmingham
 Equal Suffrage Association:
 T wish to make this motion to the board that the Birmingham Equal Suf- frage association ask the Jefferson county board of revenue that they set aside a room in the courthouse as a rest room for the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of the voters of Jefferson county. Many of these women have to come a long dis tance to attend court, often bringing It. tie babies in their arms. So 1t seems that a rest room established in the courthouse which is in the business center is very much needed Every farm wife and mother will tell you that such rest room will be a blessing to them when they come to the town bringing the children and young people with them, as many of them are compelled to do or stay at home when they come to court or to trade
 Aside from the rest in the cool room with plenty of water for the thirsty little ones with cup of coffee or tea for the mothers. The social features are impor- tant neighbor will meet neighbor and the young people will get acquainted and many a life will be frightened by the hour of social intercourse where neighbor can hear of neighbor and the community spirit be fostered.
 Besides, the rest room will serve as a who from necessity have to be often at the courthouse. There is really no place in town for these young women and girls Many of them are subjected to insults and obscene language.
 ''So ask you again that you take ur this as your work. It is both humane and neighborhly, and let us hope in our success that every county in the state will follow, supported by the local Equal Suffrage association
 That such a rest room is needed at the courthouse is not to be doubted, one visit to the basement corridor, which are crowded with women and children; VIII convince anybody. Cheap, uncomforta- ble benches are the only means of seats and often these are not adequate to hold the people.
 Women from the country are compelled to bring children to the city with them, and often have to stay all day waiting for case. These women have no privacy and 1t is said are often subjected to insult and embarrassment.

Head Coach Hinkey Is Re- lieved of Duty at Re quest of Captain
 Wilson

New Haven, Con-, November Foot ball coaching at Yale will be under direction of former Capt, Thomas H. Shevlin for the remainder of the sea son. it was announced today. Coach Frank Hinkey will finish out the sea- son as an assistant
 Yale's reorganized coaching staff with Tom Shevlin, captain of the 1905 eleven, as the dominant figure, was ex- pected to take hold of the Yale foot ball team this week, in an endeavor to whip it into shape for the remaining games.
 Frank Hinkey has not resigned as head coach, but Shevlin, it is under stood, will take actual control at the request of Capt. A. D. Wilson of the team and will remain in charge until after the Harvard game.
 A further announcement today said that at the close of the football sea- son of Hinkey's resignation is spre- scented a conference of athletic authori- ties and football men who have been leaders in the sport in past years, will be called to review the situation.

MOBILE FRANCHISE IS AGAIN REPORTED

Rumor Also Says Billy Smith Will Lead New Club. S1S,OOO Price Said to Have Been Paid.
 Baugh Knows Nothing of Deal

According to a dispatch from Chatta- nooga, Knoxville has purchased the Mo- bile franchise for s1s.OO0, and Billy Smith. who managed the Atlanta Crack CTS last year, will lead the Knoxville club in the Southern league race next season. The runor could not be con firmed or denied by President Baugh last night as he hs heard nothing of any deal
 "The deal could easily have been com pleted and the leagues office not notified as yet" said Mir. Baugh, "as the transfer must not be sanctioned by the league officials until the regular meeting Of course, if the deal was com pleted. we would probably not be noti- fled except through the press. I would not be surprised to see the deal com pleted, although MT. Jackson, owner of the Mobile club, has never told mo of club. As have been quoted before say ing that the Mobile club did not have any too good attendance during the past season, I believe they made money; al- though not as much as some of the oth- CT cities"
 The following is the text of the com munication from Chattanooga The owners of the Mobile club, 1t Is stated have offered to transfer the Gull fran chise to Knoxville for $1S,000. Billy Smith who it has been semi -officially announced, will not lead the Atlanta Crackers in 1916, has accepted the man. agerial reigns at Knoxville, contingent

PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF COURTHOUSE REST ROOM
 BY LOCAL SUFFRAGISTS
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMEN'r
 By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

The idea of rest room of this nature
 was successfully started in Pulaski,
 Tenn, by Mrs. White, and the success
 of 1t was immediate; since the venture
 rest rooms have been established all over
 the country.
 The necessity of the county courthouse
 rest room may be more apparent in small towns, where the whole community comes to court, but upon investigation this is found to be untrue. The country woman that must come to the city as witness or a friend of some prisoner or to be allowed to visit some one confined in the jail Is hopelessly alone and unprotected. 1 The hotels are not open to her and her little ones, the stores are no place to rest until she is needed in the courtroom. and the poor creature is forced to often spend the day seated against the wall of the halls of the courthouse basement, taking care of the children or waiting for some person to meet her.
 Tmid and uncomfortable, she waits all day, afraid to leave lest she get lost or lose her time to perform the errand she came for.
 Several years ago Miss Rittenberry went before other organizations with this plan, to establish a suitable and com fortable room for the country people in 1.-the Jefferson county courthouse, but she ] met with no response. Then it was put before the suffragists, and as another evil dence of the awakened conscience and civic responsibility of the awakened woman, the suffragists voted to attempt 1 tho work.
 | The following committee has been ap- pointed Miss Alma Rittenberry, chair
 man; Mrs. Conrad Ohme, Mrs. J. A. Bow | ron, Mrs. Solon Jacobs and Mrs. Taylor.

Scottsboro Wins

Gurley, November 1.-(Special)-In a poorly contested game the Scottsboro lads defeated Gurley here today, IA to 6. The visitors should have rolled up larger score but on account of fumbling and poor teamwork made poor progress. The Scottsboro boys clearly outplayed Cur ley all the way through the game, their goal never being in danger except that a tumble was picked up by a Gurley husky and carried over for touchdown. The Gurley aggregation had the fighting spirit but showed the lack of coaching, Bran- non being the only man to show any form. Petty and Proctor put up nice game for Scottsboro, both on offensive and de- fensive. Benson also played a good of- fensive game, running S5 yards for a touchdown.

Equally severe fighting is In p:o.
gress in the southeastern area of
Monte Negro where the Auatrians
have been making superhuman eff
forts to reconquer their lost positions
at Santa Maria and Santa LUCIA,
but the Italians continue to advance
and have occupied long line of Aus

These two actions go hand in hand
in the face of difficulties equal to
those encountered at Gorilla and on
the Carso plateau, where daily pro-

Considerable activity continues in
Valsugano where Italians outposts &C.

evidently had to be withdrawn in the
face of large forces brought up by
the Austrians and the proximity of
the great forts, but the second at

been successful. Their lines have been
pushed up to the Valley of the Maso,
which leaves Carzano, Canon and
