OBERDORFER AND
SHAPIRO TO SPEAK
Important Meeting of B'Nai Birth
Announced for Sunday
Afternoon

An important meeting of Birmingham
Lodge No. SSs Independent Order BNai
Birth, will be held Sunday afternoon at
$50 o'clock in the vestry rooms OF Tenn
pie Emanuel This will be the first of
a series of open meetings at which ques-
tons of interest will be discussed
Features of the programme at tho
meeting Sunday afternoon will be an
address, THE Purpose and Possibilities
of the Jewish Congress-" by Isadore Sha-
piro, and another by A. Leo Oberdorfer
on The Jewish Congress and its Rela-
ton to the BNai Birth"
This programme had been arranged for
a meeting to be held last Sunday after
noon but on account of some misunder-
standing due to conflicting announce
ments, the date was changed until next
Sunday afternoon.
The proposed Jewish congress would be
composed of representatives of all the
Jews in America. 1t has been suggested
that such a gathering. backed by the
combined influence of the Jewish people,
would be instrumental in obtaining for
the Jews in certain parts of Europe
equality of rights which has hitherto been
denied them. The topic, therefore, is
one of timely Importance. and should
prove extremely interesting. After the
two addresses the subject will be dis
cussed from the floor.
The meeting will be open to the pub
lie, which is cordially invited to attend.

For Biennial Sessions

To the Editor of The ge-Herald:
+ / am glad to see Mr.. Shapiro's inter
view in Sundays Age-Herald that some
body is taking an interest in the biennial
sessions amendment. 1t has seemed to
me all along that this amendment was
the most important of all, because it is
more fundamental.
1t is only reasonable that if quadrennial
sessions were right, Alabama would not
be the only state which adheres to that
custom. Four years is long time.
There should be more frequent meetings
of the legislature, to keep interest alive.
People interested in certain legislation, sit
down after the unsuccessful session, and
four years interest dies out, and 1T Is
necessary to start all over again at the
next session.
We cannot expect our laws to be just,
to be comprehensive, when the making
of them is hurried, as it is. 1t is case
similar to a judge fastening to get
through docket of cases; it doesn't mat
ter how he tries the cases, whether he
secures justice or not, so he gets his
dockets clear.
For many years 1 lived in state where
annual sessions are held and the advant-
age over Alabama's system is very notice.
able. 1t serve to secure a better class of
representatives. Under the four-year
system it is not difficult for man who
has made poor record as a legislator
to be reelected. The people have had
time to forget; and they have vice versa
had time to forget good man. But
under frequent sessions, a legislator
record is always fiesn in the minds of
the people, and he ore apt to be re-
warded or punished ne deserves.
did not know until l saw Mr.. ShapirOS
statement that it is only since holland
never before that time-that Alabama has
had quadrennial sessions. This is an in
teresting and significant fact. 1t is evil
dent that there was some "gyp" in the
action of the constitutional convention
which made this change
1t seems to sme that those who favor
the other amendments would work for
this one, too, so that if the one they are
interested in is defeat, they will have
more chances to have it resubmitted. And
then, if you have bad laws, there will eb
more opportunity of having them re-
pealed.
1 hope The Herald will take up
the fight for this amendment Yours
very truly, d. M. WRIGHT,
Birmingham Ala. october 16 1916.

THIS GOVERNMENT
NOT NEGLIGENT IN
EASEMENT CASE
Letter From Tumulty to the
Dead Knights Attorney Is
Made Public Explaining
Methods Taken Here

Long Branch, N. j., October ia let
ter from Secretary Tumulty to Michael
Francis Doyle. attorney for Sir Roger
Easement, containing a denial that the
its efforts to save Sir Roger, was made
public today.
Mr.. Tumulty replied to a letter from
Mr.. Doyle saying Mrs. Newman, Sir
Rogers sister, had been informed that
her brothers life might have been spared
had the Senate resolution urging clemen-
cy been forwarded to the British foreign
office more promptly. Mr.. Tumulty
quoted from letter sent him by Frank
L. Polk, acting Secretary of State at the.
time as follows:
ut can be said that the state depart
ment discussed the SIR Roger Easement
matter with the British ambassador on
several occasions informally, but in great
detail before the passage of the Senate
resolution; that the Senate resolution
was prepared on Saturday and that the
American ambassador at once conveyed
the information to the British govern
ment. On Wednesday, the day before the
execution, when the ambassador and 1
were again discussing the subject he
showed me a cable from his government
stating that his government had consid-
cred the Easement case and the resolution
of the Senate, and had come to the con-
clusion that in view of all the circum-
stances it could not grant clemency.
Particular stress was laid, as 1 recall.
by the British government on the fact
that Irish prisoners in Germany who
refused to assist Easement had been pun
ished. The statements made in letters
to Mrs. Newman that had the resolution
been presented in time her brothers life
would have been spared, were utterly and
entirely without foundation. You can
state authoritativeiy that the ambassador
read me the actual message from his
government that the resolution had been
considered and he conclusion had been
reached that clemency could not be
granted

RHEUMATISM AT TER

Hunting Trip on a Wet Day
Brings Painful Results


Once upon time Charles Mullen. of
Philadelphia, went cunning. 1t was a
dismal, rainy day. and long exposure
to cold and wet brought on a severe
attack of rheumatism. He was con.
fined to his home.
A friend recommended Sloan's Lini-

of its effectiveness. Mullen bought q
bottle and applied it to his aching
limbs. Soon improvement was noticed
and he was able to return to business.
Mr.. Mullen writes: "Since that ex-
perience have never been without

Montgomery Traction
Loses Big Suit Before
Federal Supreme Court

Montgomery, october 16.-(Special)
Richard Tillis met defeat today in his
grapple with the Montgomery Light
and Water Power company, and is loser
at least a quarter of a million dol
lars, resulting from decision of the
United States supreme court in de-
Ginning to review the litigation be-
tween the battling light and power
interests of this city.
Tillis will be required to pay judg-
ment of nearly 100000 for power used
in operating his street car system. He
is permanently en1oined from using
current generated by his own plant,
which was built at cost of nearly q
half million chiefly of that purpose
Washington, october 16.-Applica-
ton of the Montgomery Ala, Traction
company for review of litigation with
the Montgomery Light and Water
Power company over contract for fur
nishing electric power was denied to-
day by the supreme court. The ruling
sustains an injunction of the lower
federal courts prohibiting the traction
company from buying power from any
other source during the term of a con-
tract with the light and power corpor
alton. The traction company spent
100000 building it's own power plant.
