 Furthermore, l am carrying the idea out in other ways than sartorial. My gar den is practically complexion paper-ant the springdress-u plan will be carried out in my home and offices
 T am firmly convinced that the spring dress-up is psychologically right, and thai it's effect will be far reaching if the city can be made to see the benefits of being well dressed Therefore. I am today a martyr to the cause My only regret is that I have not thousand suits to give in defense of what I believe to be the right-that well dressed man Is an eff ficient man.
 MT. Cullen sat down amid stony silence He started to arise again, casting a bel Hgerent eye down the table. Thunderous applause was the result, and he sank back into his chair resignedly.
 MT. Cullen's martyrdom brought home to the members of the Ad club the psychological value of being well dressed for the luncheon was as efficiently han dled as is MT. Cullens office and he proved that a new spring suit wher backed by lofty ideal, kindles inspira- tional fires which cannot be quenched by so small matter as spring snows.

WITHDRAWAL WOULD NOT SUR PRISE MONTGOMERY-MISSIS- SIPPI CONVICT CAPTURED.
 OTHER ITEMS FROM CAPITAL

Montgomery, March 2S.-(Special)- the happy ending to the contempt pro- ceedings instituted by the supreme court
 against James A. Mitchell, well-known Birmingham attorney, there has been con siderable speculation in official circles here as to MT Mitchells future attitude in reference to seeking the place on the court
 now held by Chief Justice John c. An dersen. Many have declared that the announcement of MT. Mitchels retire.
 ment from the race would not be at all
 surprising, especially since the apparent
 casus belli has been removed
 MT. Mitchell announced his candidacy in opposition to Chief Justice Anderson
 shortly after being cited for contempt for criticizing the court. It was thought at
 that time that MT. Mitchelrs attitude in announcing for the chief justiceship
 might possibly have been inspired by his
 resentment in being called upon to an-
 swer to contempt charges, or else that he
 desired it to be known that he felt in
 no wise intimidated by the courts ac- ton.
 However, the issue has now been re-
 moved MT. Mitchell has apologized, and ms apology has been accepted. The case
 against him has been dismissed, and he
 now occupies the same position in the
 eyes of the court as a practicing lawyer before the court, as he formerly did Hence, his retirement from the race for chief justice would hardly cause sur prise, but would rather. on the other hand, doubtless be accepted as the final
 continuation of a once unhappy situation.
 Sc far as has been ascertained MT. Mitch ell has not indicated whether he intends
 to continue in the race, but there are

CLAIMS NEW SPRING SUIT
 IS NEVER OUT OF PL ACE
By ELLIS c. HOLLUMs

The feature of the Birmingham Ad club | luncheon at the Hotel Hillman at 1 o'clock yesterday was Secretary H. D. Cullen, who appeared clad in spring suit of clothes and a heavy winter overcoat. President Holberg of the club was serv-
 ing the county as juror and could not attend. Vice President R. T. Daniel was scheduled to preside, but was torpedoed, MT. Cullen created a ripple when he proudly marched into the private dining | room, his suit of almost summery light ness being cut in the latest mode and bearing superlative creases at just the point designated by fashionable tailors as proper.
 MT. Sparrow demanded that the other
 members of the club be advised of the reason MT. Cullen had for choosing such
 a wintry-like day to appear in a spring
 suit, and the genial secretary of the club
 rose to the occasion.
 Tn the announcement of this meeting
 sent to members of the club it was stated
 that the spring dress-up campaign would
 be under consideration at the luncheon '
 he said between shivers. Certainly you
 can't blame me because the weather man
 made a mistake and turned the season
 back a month. And, as the official repre- sentative of the Ad club, I could no noth- ing more than carry out the idea of spring

FUNDS NOW AVAILABLE

Secretary Baker was emphatic today in saying objection to the use of motor truck trains to supply the troops had
 been raised by Mexican officials. With the $S,000,000 emergency appropriation available, the department will be able to carry out it's plan for establishing a com plete independent supply system for the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-29

troops at the front regardless of what may be the result of diplomatic negotia- rions over the railroads. General Fun ston's reports have not shown the sup ply situation to be serious at present, and with as many additional truck trains as he may require, the department be- ieves he will be able to keep his supplies moving forward steadily.
 The aeroplane situation also will be re- lieved soon, now that the war depart ment has funds to call upon. Representa- tives of various aeroplane manufacturers were in conference with war department officials again during the day. The ma- chimes purchased will be of sufficient size and power to carry two persons and fuel to last four hours. It was indicated that with these conditions met, early deliv- cries would have an influence in awarding orders.
 Another matter under discussion which may be put through at once is that of building chain of three high power radio stations along the border to provide for continuous communication, night and day. The army now has 250-kilowatt station at San Antonio and the construction of two more, one at Fl Paso and one at Fort Huachuca Ariz., has been recommended. It is possible that some army plant else- where in the United States may be moved to the border for this purpose

 just how far the American forces have penetrated or may penetrate into hls country to carry out their mission.
 It was indicated that General Car ranzas proposals showed no desire to ex- clude the expedition from use of the Mexican railways. On the contrary the protocol would establish definite agree ment for just that purpose. As this may take sometime to reach it's final form Washington officials determined to press for the much more limited permission asked for by General Funston. The latter would apply only to specific roads and towns while the general agreement of the protocol would cover all rail and other transportation lines within the territory embraced in the understanding.

COULD REACH ARMY

With the high power stations it would be possible signal officers say, to reach the field sets of the troops far south in Mexico at any time. The low power field equipment would not be able, however, to reach the border stations except under favorable conditions.
 Official reports from consuls in Mexico again today dwelt on the lack of popular excitement there over the entry of Amer ican troops. Consul Letcher at Chihuahua City sent the following:
 Governor Enrique published yesterday, March 26, an address to Chihuahua citi- zens, recounting the circumstances of the Columbus incident, and the American ex- petition consequent thereupon, and call ing upon their patriotism to remain calm and give the Mexican government the full est support in the present crisis. This address. in my opinion, will have favor able effect locally. in view of frequent publication at border of alarming reports regarding conditions here. Repeat ad- vices already given that public continue to deport themselves with commendable poise and self-control. Under these cir cunstances it appears most regrettable that border news agencies should con- tinue to impute to authorities and people here actions contrary to foregoing fact.
 The following paraphrase of an offieia telegram from Douglas also was made public;
 q have made an investigation of the statements telegraphed from here to the effect that there has been concentration of Mexican troops at Agua Prieta, oppo- site Douglas I saw General Gales ir command of the forces of the de factc government, who gave me permission t6 investigate personally. I found 400 mer in Agua Prieta. but saw no artillery. found all trench wires removed, no troops in any trenches and no troops on any side of Agua Prieta.
 However, there are 1000 at Cabullona IS miles south. General Gales invites all citizens to go and make a persona investigation of this matter. Cochise coun ty at present is very quiet.
