Merchants and Commission CTS Have Long Talk and Go Over Subject
 Thoroughly

As a result of a conference yesterday afternoon between the city commission and committee of merchants represent ing all the mercantile organizations of the city and the various commercial as- sociations on the new 1916 license sched- ule, it is expected that some modification
 in the maximum rating of stocks will be made in the privilege tax.
 A committee of seven, composed of H. A. Porter, Murray Brown, M. V. Joseph, C. w. Green, Colman Blach, W. J. Adams and James Hood, conferred for an hour yesterday afternoon in the office of Pres ident George B. Ward The commission CTS present were: Messrs. Hornady, Truss Ward and Barber. Commissioner James Weatherly was absent, being in attendance at a funeral.
 There was no direct result to the con ference, as it adjourned when the com mittee of merchants were informed to prepare a brief of their contentious and submit it to the commission for official consideration. This brief will be pre- scented possibly at next Tuesdays meet ing, and at the same time the city, through it's legal representatives, will at tempt to show a just cause for it's pres GnC dGllIuu6 OH Ine DElNlltSe ldX qutS- ton.
 The committee of merchants which vs- ited the commission yesterday was very much inclined to arbitrate the whole ques- ton on a friendly basis. One or two members of the committee made a few spirited remarks at various times, but as the commissioners had a typewriter report of what all the merchants in Bir- mingham had been paying in privilege .I< I the belicose character of the conference early by showing that the merchants who were under the heaviest tax burden at the present were the most modest in complaining. After these little subtleties had been thoroughly digested the commit tee really got down to business and the commission was readily impressed with the justice of some of the contentious of the mercantile representatives. In fact all the merchants present admitted that they were willing to pay a heavier li- cense than last year, and displayed great interest in the financial problems of the city. However they baked at the high maximum of stock rating on the new li- cense schedule, stating that it worked a hardship.
 The commissioners listened to all the arguments presented with close attention and assumed the attitude of give and take. That is, the commission stated quite frankly that they needed the money and proposed to get it wherever it was possible to obtain it. The commission, however, plainly indicated before the con- ference ended that the maximum of $500. eco in the privilege tax schedule of 1916 would be trimmed down to more reason able figures. In fact, an amicable settle- ment of the entire license controversy may be said to have been tentati ar ranged yeSterday afternoon

UNUSUAL FORGERY
 ATTEMPT IS MADE
Telephone Call, Messenger Boy and Clever Signature
 Made Check Seem Genuine

A unioue scheme to obtain money by false pretense was attempted on the Greene Drug company last night at 10 o'clock, and would have been successful had it not been for the vigil lance of P. A. Johnston, prescriptionist, employed by the company.
 The telephone rang and voice told Johnston that it was Dr. F. A. McGee talking. "I have run short of money and want to know if you will cash my check if I send it down there," said the voice over the wire. Johnston, knowing pr. McGee well, replied that he would be glad to cash his check Tor any amount. The voice at the other end of the wire told Johnston that he would send a messenger around inn mediately. In a. few minutes a mes- senger boy appeared and handed an envelope to the clerk. Johnston noticed that the envelope bore the name of a pool room on it and he became suspi- cious. He asked the messenger where he got the note and was told that a man at the Morris hotel had siven 1t to him and was waiting for an an swer.
 check for $10 was enclosed in the envelope with the signature of Dr. F. A. McGee on the bottom of 1t. Johnston told the boy to wait and went to the telephone and tried to get in touch with Dr. McGee. Not being able to find him and becoming more sus- picious he called police headquarters and Detectives Moser and Lyons an- swered the call. Moser went to the ho- tel and waited across the street while the messenger boy and Lyons went out of the door of the drug company toward the Morris hotel. As they ap- preached First avenue and Nineteenth street Moser arrested Irwin Ray and held him until the messenger came up with Detective Lyons. Ray denied any knowledge of the affair but was later identified by two messengers who saw him come into the office and ask for a boy to deliver note. pr. McGee was communicated with in the mean while and upon seeing the check said the signature was a clever forgery.
 Detectives AIoser and Lyons stated that two other young men were impli- cated in the affair and their arrests would follow. Dr. McGee was grateful to the drug company for their service to him. He vii appear against Ray when his trial comes up.

RAILROAD MEN TALK 'OVER PLANS OF NEW FIST ST. V|ADUCT
Weatherly Greatly Pleased by Attitude Shown by Visitors Toward the
 Project

Great interest was shown yesterday in the plans of the city of Birming- ham for viaduct on Twenty first stret to replace the present structure by the representatives of several rail roads who had conference on the subject during the day. Among the railroad men present were: w. L. Ma bother, first vice president of the Louisville and Nashville railroad; w.. H. Courtney, chief engineer of the Louisville and Nashville railroad; H. W. Miller, L. Sevier and M H. Wells of the Southern railway; w. L. Sed don, vice president. and w. D. Eau. cette, chief engineer of the Seaboar | Air Line; J. S. Pevear, president Bir- I mingham Railway, Light and Power I company; L. L. Newman. superintend- ent of ways and structures of the Bir-
 mingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 The conference of the railroad men adjourned shortly after noon without any definite decision being reached H. w. Miller of the Southern railway
 called on Commissioner Weatherly and enjoyed an impromptu conference with
 City Engineer Julian Kendricl nnd
 Commissioners Truss and Weatherly in which the whole proposition of the city was gone over. Mr. Miller made known certain objections the railroads had to the plans or the city and the entire project was threshed out in Il friendly way. In the end MT. Miller left to report back to the conferees with the understanding that a report of the city's attitude would be taken up at the headquarters of each railroad It was. however, understood that a con and the city commission on the Twen- within the next month. At this cor- ference it is expected definite plans will be arrived at.
 "The railroad men, said Commis sioner Weatherly Showed an appre- ciative interest in the progress of Bir- mingham and l am sure they are try ing to do the right thing by the city 1 The height of the structure as pres cntly planned is practically the only objection cited thus far. I am really optimistic about the whole matter, as can see another viaduct coming'' The proposed viaduct was planned hy City Engineer Julian Kendrick. acting on instructions of Commissioner Weatherly. It calls for an expenditure of about sl5O,O00 without street car tracks and about $1540O0 with the car
 tracks. It will be of reinforced con-
 crete and built in similar style to
 that of the viaduct on First avenue

CLAIM bELLMAN AT HOTEL GOT S19OO Dr. Leon H. Watkins De- posted Money Before
 Taking Trip

Police departments throughout the coun- try were notified yesterday by Chief of Detectives Shirley to be on the lookout for William E. Clark, former head bell man at the Tutwiler hotel who is alleged to have absconded with $19O0 deposited with him by Dr. Leon H. Watkins of this city, who was a guest at yne hotel when the transaction occurred. A reward has been offered for the apprehension of Clark
 Dr. Watkins, whose office is in the Empire building, made the following statement last night:
 T had been a guest at the Tutwiler with my wife for a week at the time I left the money. I was preparing, on Jan- uary l. to leave for an automobile trip to Opeika, and having $500 in my pos session, l thought it unwise to take that much money on the trip. The banks were closed that day so I went to the office of the hotel. The only man l saw in the office at the time was Clark, who was apparently acting as clerk. I gave him the money, $500, and accepted re- ceipt from him for the amount. When I returned from Opeli<a yesterday l pre- sented my receipt at the hotel. This was the first intimation that I had and of course my first suspicion, that any, thing was wrong. I was informed that Clark had been head bellnan at the ho- tel, but had left the service on the very day I turned the money over to him. MT. Shireman, the manager of the Tut wiler, is doing everything in his power to apprehend Clark, and has been ex- eeedngly considerate and courteous. am confident that the matter will be set tied satisfactorily soon.
 F. B. Shireman manager of the Tut wiler, made the following statement las night:
 "I regret this matter exceedingly. Clark was the head bellman at the hotel and of course, had no authority to accept money in the name of the hotel. We have on duty at all hours of the day and night cashier who is authorized to handle money for the hotel. l shall do all in my power to apprehend Clark at the earliest possible moment

.JELKS RE|TERATES
 HIS DECLARATION
Under No Circumstances Would He Make Race for
 Committeeman

Former Gov. William D. Jelks yes terday reiterated his declaration of some days ago that he was not now and would not be candidate for re- election as national committeeman from Alabama.
 The statement was made by Goyer- TOT Jelks following the publication in a Montgomery dis%ltch that he would probably be candidate. Some time prior to the meeting of the state demo- cratic committee in Birmingham and before the announcement of any other man for the position. Governor Jelks stated that he would not again offer for the place. Some days ago he gave out formal interview in Eufaula to the same effect
 In discussing the matter yesterday Governor Jelks said: q will not be a candidate for reelection as Ala hama member of the democratic na- tional committee. I was elected at Bal timore in 1912 when in no sense a candidate. There was a division over the two candidates for the place and I was agreed upon to heal the diff ferences. I accepetd the place under protest I have served for four years, have spent much of my time and quite an amount of money in the work con- nected with the office, and I think l have done my part. I have had no thought at any time of being can didate for reelection and have so stated"
 It is said that Governor Jelks, while serving as national committeeman, succeeded in raising more money for the Wilson campaign than had ever been secured to aid the cause of na- tiona1 democracy in the state of Ala bama.
 The only announced candidate for national committeeman is Borden Burr of Birmingham.

REV. r. W. bEECHER
 GIVES HIS VIEWS ON
 SUNDAY MOVIES
Thinks Pastors Who Are Opposing Them Are Ones Who Need to Be
 Educated

Rev. k. w. Beecher, retired rector of the Episcopal church, who now makes his home in Birmingham, writes letter to The Age-Herald on the Sunday movies under the title The Ones Who Need to Be Educated" He writes: To the Editor of The Herald There is a body of cergymen of this city organized as sThe Pastors Union" sstor means shepherd. They propose to look after the welfare of their sheep some of them led by pr. Dickinson, per- baps chiefly are proposing for the good of their parishioners and the people gen orally, to close the movies" Sunday aft ernoons.
 This is perhaps the most unwise move ment they could possibly make. Some subtle, sardonic spirit of evil must have suggested it to them
 Birmingham has an artisan population of some 25,0oo. more or less. Sunday is the only day of the week they have, as we Masons say flor rest and refresh ment." Very largely they have enjoyed the innocent and educational amusement furnished by the many excellent thea tres presenting the attractive moving pie lures.
 The shepherds some of them. let us hope not many of them, are proposing to educate the people of our beautiful city up to the ideas of the Puritan Sabbath and close the movies
 But really it is the shepherds them selves who need educating on the Sab bath and Sunday question. Let them, simply desirous of the truth, study anew their Bibles, church histories and cyclopedias. They will find that Sunday is not and never was considered the Sabbath. For 5000 years the Sabbath has been observed on the seventh day of the week and for nearly 2000 years the Lords Day has been observed on the first day of the week.
 Our student shepherds will find, then, that Sunday is nSt the Sabbath
 But. also, let me remark, if it were, the Bible Sabbath did not forbid inno- cent amusement. It only forbid work It is on record that Jesus was a guest at q large banquet in Jerusalem on a Sabbath.
 So it is with the kindest feelings that suggest that our shepherds educate them selves to a wiser and better mind Be- fore closing, let me say that I read with approval and pleasure the advice Father Coyle rector of St. Paul's Roman Cath ollie church, gave to his people about this question. I think, also, that the rectors of all the Anglo-Catholic churches and the clergy of the Lutheran churches would essentially agree with him. Of course, none of our excellent Jewish peo- pie would wish to close the Sunday movies, nor even to have them closed on the Sabbath. F. w. BEECHER.
