opened to Mary Stuart Chapter

patriotic festivities in honor of

Lovely red carnations in a beau
tiful cut glass vase formed the
centre-piece. Tempting artificial
cherries and asparagus fern was
the background for the array of
China. Cheese straw hatchets
and stuffed dates were served
with the coffee.
Misses Mile and Ruth Brown

classic music on the piano for
the occasion.

frantic sndeavors 70 get into the
game.
On the five yard line Rocky Ford
gained the ball on downs and when
they next tried . forward pass the "a
Junta line broke through and caught
the man before he could pass the
ball. thereby scoring a safety. ana
two points for La Junta. This marx
ed the end OF the scoring for La Jun
u till the third quarter.
Meanwhile Rocky Ford succeeded
in scoring one touchdown In the first
half and three In the last. Their
touchdowns were made on straight
football. their forward passes falling
whenever tried. except short pass
which netted them a touchdown. On
the other hand the La Junta boys
succeeded in completing some Tor
ward passes. Their passes were well
thrown and two or three times had
they not have been muffed would
have resulted In long gains near
touchdowns.
Another feature OF the game was
the punting OF the La Junta full
back. Max Moberly. His punts.
which were nearly all for distance
OF fifty yards, were high, thus gal-
lowing our ends to get down the
field and down the receiver before
he could return the ball any distance.
The tackling OF the La Jun'a boys
was their main weakness, Their
tacklIng was. for the most part. too
high. thus allowing the heavy Rocky
Ford backs to gain more than II the
tackiing had been lower Taking
everything into consideration. howev-
er, the game put up by the La Junta
boys was credit TO the school.
Not much spirit is needed to win
game when the odds are with team.
but to fight as gamely as the La Jun
tn team did even after defeat was
certain is indeed commendable. That
they did fight IL well shown by their
playing in the fourth quarter In
which beautiful place kick from the
thirty-five yard line by Captain J.
McCauiey sailed clean between the
goal posts netting three points. and
later. when the Rocky Ford fuilback
fumbled the ball. p. McCauiey. La

and made a sensational thirty-five

 IN FIFE MEASURE
Millions of Dollars Worth of Loans Affected By
 Marion Mans Bill

That $15,000 900 In loans on Blrming ton requested, if a bill by Representa- tive Fite of Marion is passed by the legislature is the opinion of local fnan eiers and bankers.
 The bill in question has been intro duced which provides that the clause in mortgages and all written instru- ments providing for the payment of at torneys fees or other fees shall be de- clared unenforceable. In other words a mortgage as security and payment is made by foreclosure the man who lends the money would be forced to pay all costs of collection. whereas as this time the man who is favored with the mort gage money Is made to pay.
 There have been sent to Birmingham urgent appeals by several representa- lives asking that local fnanciers send their written opinions as to the effect the bill, if it became a law, would have on the finances of this state. These letters are being sent to Montgomery. it was stated yesterday It is asserted by local men that one firm has loaned over s15.000.000 on skyscrapers. houses, business property and farms in this i'm mediate neighborhood. It Is said that of many thousands of mortgage trans actions by this concern only four have been foreclosed, and that the costs of collections have been almost nil.
 Local men of affairs are of the opin- ion that Birmingham and the remainder of this state should do everything pos- sble to encourage outside investments and get money into this state instead of making laws which will keep cap- ital away. If the law of Representative Fite is passed 1t is said that the effect will be perhaps the most injurious and the most far-reaching from business viewpoint of any law yet passed by the Alabama lawmakers.
 There is an opinion here that when the real effects of the bill are explained to the lawmakers and after mature con sideration 1t will not be enacted

NEW DOUBLE TRACK
 ON A. t. s. IS READY
After Few Test Runs POr- tiOn Will Be Opened for
 sTraffic

Preparations are being made by the en- gineering and operating departments of the Alabama Great Southern railroad to open portion of the new double track south of Birmingham which is prac- tically ready for service. The engineers went over the work yesterday, and an an nouncement is expected during the next few days as to the exact time when the operations will be started over the new tracks.
 The work, which has involved the ex- penditure of a large sum of money has been under way several months and the work of ballastng has been in progress for some weeks. It,is stated that the track has settled very satisfactorily and few test runs over the track will place it in cc ndition to be used regularly.
 The track between this city and Mo- bile junction is ready for service. 1t is as- serted, while that between York and Meridian is also in condition to be used. The officials at this time, however, are unwilling to say just when train move ments will be authorized over the new track.
 The completion of the new track marks the end of some very rapid work on the line. It was authorized and begun only last year. The new track will enable the Alabama Great Southern to greatly de- crgase the time of its trains over the Alabama Great Southern division, and will very materially facilitate traffic in many respects.
 The completion of the work on the south end of the Alabama Great Southern will give the officials an opportunity to start some proposed work on the line be- tween this city and Gadsden. It is stated that the double track beyond Irondale will be extended, and that many other im- provements will be made. It is stated that the programme tentatively discussed calls for the expenditure of quite a large sum of money.

LANE THINKS PRESENT
 TIME INOPPORTUNE

Judge A. o. Lane, city commissioner: q am strong in my belief of the need of constitutional convention, but am inclined to oppose the plan to hold one at this time.
 There is no doubt but what the present constitution is antiquated in many particulars and absolutely un- fitted for conditions prevailing in many parts of the state. One instance in par ticular is that the city of Birmingham is entirely too closely restricted in it's governmental machinery by state statutes.
 But here is the situation. Already, I believe nearly everyone will admit. we have too much politics. Everyone is de- pressed over business conditions In dustry and commerce are restless. They are disturbed by politics and rumors of politics. People generally are in low spirits. There is no use denying the truth. We are passing through period of strenuous depression.
 "Now to hold a constitutional con vention at this time would only az sravate the present bad conditions.

Governor Thomas Bibb built the home Belle Nina" which Is re- garded as one of the finest specimens of colonial architecture in the soutn, nearly q century ago. In his will he re- qLested that the homestead always re- main in possession of the male heirs. and 1t accordingly passed to his eldest son. Thomas Blob. then to his next son. Porter Bibb. then to Porter Bibbs eldest son, Capt. Porter Bibb. who died yesterday.
 The family connection is one of the most extensive In the state.

CITIZENS GIVE VIEWS ON
 PROPOSED CONVENTION
 TO REVISE CONSTITUTION
Judge Lane Thinks Present Time Inopportune- Would Favor Converting of Such Body-Frank w. Smith Says Present Constitution Could Be
 Materially Improved

The Age-Herald today begins a series of interviews with Birming- ham men and those from other parts of the state on the proposed constitutional convention. Citizens asked for their opinions were also requested to give their reasons for opposition or advocacy of new constitution.
 Many of those whose opinions were sought asked for more time to think 1t over. They believed so important matter ms a constitu- tional convention should be con- sidered very carefully, ond several of those seen yesterday asked per- mission to be allowed to write out their views on the question at their leisure.
 In addition to views of citizens generally The Age-Hernld also un- dertook to learn yesterday the sen timent on the question among mem bers of the legislature and state officials. The first of these inter- views will be found elsewhere In today's issue. Here are some of the expressions of Birmingham men yesterday,
