FINED
 S10 FOR CONTEMPT
Judge Smith Acts Following Difficulty in Corridor
 of Courthouse

Policeman R. T. Cartwright was fined s10 for contempt of court yesterday by Judge C.AB. Smith of the circuit court following a fight between Cartwright and man named Wilson in the corridor of the courthouse yesterday morning. Both the parties to the disturbance were witnesses in the cases against the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic railroad, in which sev- eral hundred negroes claimed damages for an alleged failure of the company to pro- vide an adequate supply of drinking water on a negro excursion train from Birmng- ham to Atlanta.
 It is stated that Cartwright resented certain remarks alleged to have been made by Wilson and took him to task about them. It is said that Wilson did not deny the remarks. Thereupon Cart wright knocked him down and kicked him. An effort was made to have Judge Smith go into the details that led up to the fight, but the judge held that this was a matter for the courts having juris- diction over breaches of the peace. He stated, however that the court had been disturbed by the fight and on preliminary examination held that Cartwright was in contempt of court by taking the law in his own hands and imposed the above fine

NO JOINT DEBATE ON
 BOND ISSUE LIKELY
Neither Side Will Yield to Other. Martins Letter Insulting, Says
 Chairman Bowie

The chances Of a joint debate on the bond issue of s1,250,00o. to be voted on next Monday appear to have been lost yesterday after considerable correspon- dence between the two factions.
 Chairman Sydney J. Bowie yesterday addressed a letter to Dr. H. L. Martin chairman of the ants-bond issue campaign committee, stating he would meet the antis in joint debate at Woodlawn city hall tonight. but could meet them no place else as several engagements for tonight were already made for speax- ing in various parts of the city and could not be cancelled. Dr. Martin replied that he would not accept this offer, to which MT. Bowie again replied that the char acter of Dr. Martins letter was abusive and insulting and was typical of the whole campaign being conducted by him.
 There the matter has dropped and it appears that it is over so far as joint debate on the bond issue issue is con- cerned

ASSOCIATION WILL HOLD MEETING IN
 NEXT FEW DAYS
DOster Has Almost Com pleted Task of Naming Vice Presidents in the
 Crop Organization

A meeting of the North Alabama Diversified Farming association will be called in Birmingham within the next few days by pr. J. T. Doster. president of the association.
 pr. Doster said last night that the list of vice presidents of the associa- ton will be completed within two or three days and then the meeting will be called There will be a vice presi- dent from each county in the northern part of the state and he will be chair man of the organization in his own county. Each vice president is expected to organize or assist in organizing his county to carry on the work begun by the recent diversifioation campaign
 Dr. Doster said that the success of the work in each county depended on local organization and strong men directing the organization along sure lines. He said that men were needed who would grasp in a big way the fact that 1t is most important for each county to raise what it eats. which is the first prin- ciple of real diversifcation. To do this Dr. Doster said special work was nec-
 
 round garden at every home, more pigs and poultry, more dairy cows and more pastures, and dipping vats to eradicate the cattle tick.
 As soon as his list of leaders in each county is complete Dr. Doster will send them plans that can be easily carried out in following up the work of the diversification campaign
 Mrs. G. H. Mathis, president pro-tem of the Alabama Diversified Farming as sociation. left yesterday for Montgon- cry to confer with the leaders there about the meeting that will complete sociation. This meeting will be held in Montgomery within a short while.
 At the diversfication headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce yesterday plans were pushed for the fight on the cattle tick the last week in April. Let ters were sent out to all the county leaders urging them to have special anti-tick meetings the last week In April and decide to build enough dip ping vats to clean their respective coun- ties of the tick. The United States gov ernment tick eradication experts are preparing figures that show the enor- nous losses in all sections of Alabama front he tick. These facts will be sup piled to newspapers all over the state for Nse Tick Eradication Week"

DR. M. A. COPELAND
 HEARTILY IN FAVOR
 0F THE BOND ISSUE:
His Brother Is One Opposed to It-W. D. Nesbitt and P. C. Vann IndOrse
 the Issue

Dr. NJ. A. Copeland one of the best known surgeons and physicians in the city, yesterday issued formal state ment that he was in favor of the bond is- sue
 The impression that Dr. Copeland was opposed to the bond issue gained circu- lation through the writings in opposition to the bond issue of Dr. Charles P. Cope Hand, who is brother of Dr. M. A. Cope land
 Dr. Copeland's letter Is as follows: To the Editor of The Age-Herald: There Is a mistaken idea among some of my friends and acquaintances that I am opposed to the bond issue, and I wish to say to them through your valuable paper if-you will permit me, that | am in favor of it. and it is my intention to vote for it on the 12th inst .I It seems to me that, among the TO reasons why the bond issue should carry" the flrst-the city owes the money-and the seventh--it will not prevent nor postpone the equal lza ton of taxes-are the two good reasons which should clear away the cloud from the brain of anyone who is opposed to the bond issue.
 NJ A. COPELAND, NJ. D..
 Farley Building. Birmingham, April :. 1915.
 Other letters on the bond issue include the following:
 MT. sydney J. Bowie, Chairman Campaign Committee, City:
 Dear Sir--I have your circular letter of March 30 l have been absent from the city for the last 10 days and will prob ably be away most of the time for the next b, and therefore cannot give aid to this movement which is deserved feel that Birmingham has made great strides toward the light in the last two or three years, and that we are in posi- tion to use to great advantage the re- stored credit which being out of debt would give us, in connection with the revenue which should come in from a proper equalization of taxes and other measures which l hope will go through during the year for our relief.
 Birmingham is too big, and her oppor- tunities too great to do things in a vil- age way. In order that we, who are liv- ing here now, and those that are coming after us in the next few years may have an opportunity for reaping some of the things to which we are entitled, it is nec- essary that those in charge of the city's affairs should not be required to see only the things of today. but occasionally be allowed to have a vision of the possi- bilities of the future. With regards, am, yours very truly,
 w. D. NESBITT Hon. Sydney J. Bowie City:
 I could not attend the big rally fa interest of the bond issue. l am heartily in accord with the Issue for many good and vital reasons.
 I can think of no sound business reason why we should not vote the is- sua nee of these bonds, neither have heard of any from the opposition. If | owned Greater Birmingham, under the circumstances, l would certainly float bonds enough to keep her in good shape until such time l could (with efficient mana cement equalization of taxation, and if need be. as last resort an in- crease of tax rate) keep her in the con dltion she should be for the best interest of all within her borders.
 Yours for the bond issue.

ness part of the meeting would be dis pensed with for the day Later on he called on Hugh N Roberts to tell some inside information about the members of the present legislature. The presence Of the finance and taxation committee of the legislature at the barbecuei made the remarks of Mr Roberts of more than ordinary interest He related some incidents in connection with the legisla- ture which are known only to those on the inside" and what Mir Roberts said about the lawmakers caused convulsive laughter. Following Afr. Roberts talk, Walter Backman, The Age-Herald ar tist. drew several illustrations of the feet of men present and the members of the Rotary club were able to identify every pair. The barbecue was followed by an inspection of the plant, which was of great interest to the members of the club.
 The members of the club were brought back to the city about o'clock after what they said was one of the most in- teresting trips ever made by the Rota- rians. MT. Exum was widely congratu- lated upon his entertainment. There were few local men present who are not members of the Rotary club, includ- ing Oscar Wells, George q. Crawford. Ross c. Smith, A. Leslie Fuenwider and few others.
