other bills which bear down a little
harder on the liquor traffic than the
present laws

 INCREASES CAPITAL STOCK

the start that business for d short time would not be very flattering. Since the beginning of the year there has been marked increase in commercial travel while the company has been able to in- fluence many winter tourists to stop over here on their way to and from Florida. The result has been that the business has shown great improvement. The value of business created by the opera ton of the Tutwiler has been fully as substantial and every bit as great as was anticipated.
 Frederick B. Shireman, manager of the Tutwiler, said yesterday that the bus- ness of the Tutwiler had shown a very decided improvement
 The citizens of Birmingham are sup porting us in a most gratifying way said Mir Shireman. we have endeav- ored to render first-class service to our patrons and this has been appreciated or the volume of business we have would not be as great as it is. 1 am very much encouraged indeed, over the out look. This hotel has created volume of travel that has in theopast slipped by Birmingham and we are getting our share of that business which came to Birmingham years ago and which has been since that time coming here"
