 BANKRUPT COURT BY. COMP ANY
Southern Asphalt and Con- struction Go. Officials Say Outside Creditors Will
 Not Lose Anything

None of the creditors of the Southern yesterday filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, will lose anything except those who were interested in the com pany, according to statements made by officials of the company yesterday. The petition was filed in the federal court through the attorney, Forney Johnston, and the case will be handled by Referee F. H. Dryer. No receiver was asked for.
 The liabilities of the company are ap- proximately $240,0oO, and the assets about $125,00O. However, it is stated that these assets will be reduced as they consist partly of machinery which has been used in work. The largest creditors are Fies '& Sons, and Fies Realty company, who have loaned the paving company approxi- mately $125,0 Other liabilities include which are secured largely, it is announced, by the city bonds of Sarasota, Fla.
 It was stated that the financial difficult ties of the company came about from the loss of SS5,O0 on a sewer contract in Memphis, contract which the company had fulfilled to the satisfaction of the interested parties. It was announced that there were no contracts for any kind of construction work which the company had not completed.
 R. M. Marshall is president of the com- pany, having succeeded Eugene Fies, who was president until February.

GRAND CHIMES WINS. THE TAVERN STAKE.
Louisiana Horse Is Class of Field-Pop Geers Wit
 nesses the Races

Cleveland, July 20.-Grand Chimes from Louisiana tramped on the northern bred trotters today at North Randall and walked off with the Tavern stake, the first event raced under the Devereux limitation plan on the 1916 Grand Cir cult. In winning Grand Chimes proved himself to be one of the best trotters uncovered this season.
 It was a bitterly fought race. Grand Chimes was nosed out in the final heat by Busy Lassie. but to Grand Chimes went the honors and today at least he was the class of the field.
 The Tavern stake was rather an ex- pertinent. The field was limited to horses that have never beaten 2:14A or won more than 5000 gross. The race devel- oped into one of the grandest in the his- tory of the event and the time was just about as fast as it would have been if the Tavern had been a 2:10 trot, as in the second and third heats the time was better than POT.
 The field In the Fesig open 3-year-old trot narrowed down to three when the horses were called and, as two of them were members of Tommy Murphy S stable. there was practically no selling and it was the Murphy stable that got most of the money, with Adele Block. the third member of the race, getting third.
 Maple Tree easily had the speed of the trio, taking first and third heats.
 With Pop Geers watching from an automobile stationed at the upper dra w. gate, Dick McMahon took over the mount behind Hal Plex E in tde 2:1S pace and delighted the famous old driver of the sulky by keeping the cratic son of Empire Direct on a pace long enough to win two heats and first money.
 Azora Axworthy, the mare that won 15 out of 16 races on the twice-arounds made her mile track debut in the 2:16 trot, going to the post a strong favorite. With Tommy Murphy having the mount, she trotted her field into the ground

CHANGES MADE IN FINANCIAL SYSTEM
 OF CIVIC CHAMBER

Through the initiative of E. B. Craw- ford. treasurer of the Chamber of Com merce, a movement has been inaug- urated to place the organization upon a more satisfactory financial basis. He is making a strenuous effort to get in all the assets of the chamber at once and wipe out any liabilities the organization may have. For sometime past, 1t is stated, many of the mem bers and contributors have been more or less lax in making their remit tances and with the improved condi- tions following the depression of last year it is hoped to remedy this evil al an early date
 "In order to properly conduct the Chamber of Commerce and to keep 1t from being handicapped by financial troubles it is necessary that we get in from time to time the assets in the form of dues and contributions more promptly than they have been coming in during the past year or more The chamber is doing a great work for Birmingham and the district, as every one familiar with its conduct knows, and it will be still further aided in accomplishing the things it should and could do if the finances are kept in such condition that they cause no worry.
 The Chamber of Commerce handled the reunion for Birmingham. with the

assistance of the other civic orsani- cations. in a manner which won praise from all the visitors and great credit for the entire city. yet it was done for about one-third what some of the oth- CT cities have spent. Only recently Bir- mingham was saved, through the re- duction of the insurance rate, about s100,000 annually. That the fire pre- vention committee of the chamber and the work it accomplishes was the prin- cipal factor in bringing this about is generally admitted. These are but two instances within the past month or two, yet In each of them the chamber has paid for itself several times over.
 The members who are actively en- gagged in the work of the organization know of things which come up almost every day where the work of the or ganization is indispensable, and it is certainly entitled to the support of the public. I am sure that the members and contributors who signed those pledges to make their contributions have simply neglected to give the mat ter attention and for that reason we are making this campaign to remind them to be more prompt in the future. hearty response, which will be of bene- fit to the chamber and enable it to do much better work for Birmingham. The organization Is in the most satisfac- tory condition, in my opinion, it has been in In sometime and the income is being expended most judiciously.'

CHANGE IN FRISCO
 MEANS MUCH FOR
 VARIOUS INDUSTRIES
Walter Moore Talks on Eff feet of Getting Road Out
 of Receivership

Birmingham and this district will re- ceive considerable impetus from the sale of the Frisco railroad last Wednes- day and its removal from the hands of receivers on September 1, in the opinion of Walter Moore, well-known coal oper- ator who has large interests along that line
 The Frisco has been entirely rehabili- tated, it's physical properties have been placed in splendid condition, and now that it's financial difficulties and the hand leaps always imposed on the operations of railroads in the hands of the courts have been removed, all the territory traversed by that system will be benc- fited.
 Industrial development along the line of the Frisco system in this district and in other sections it traverses has neces- sarily been hampered during the time it has been in the hands of the receivers said MT. Moore yesterday.
 Industrial operators in this district de- siring to develop properties along the Frisco have been hampered by the fact that it was in the hands of the court. Capitalists do not like to finance develop ments situated on a railroad conducted
  may become of the line. There is al ways a possibility that it may fall into the hands of some more or less unfriendly interest or some competitor who might not aid in developing the properties.
 But now that the Frisco has been sold and Is soon to be out of the hands of the receivers, it will mean much for the Birmingham district. Certain develop ments along the line of this road which have been held up for sometime will soon go forward. The controlling factors in the reorganized system are keenly inter- ested in Birmingham and they look upon this district as offering the opportunities for a great amount of business in the future Birmingham can expect the hearty cooperation from the men who will head the system and I know they will be able to do much to help de- veop our district.
 'The Frisco has been rehabilitated both physically and financially and will now be in perfect condition to take part in build ing up the territory it traverses The receivers have taken advantage of the time they were operated under control of the courts to place everything in good condition and the system is now showing splendid earnings
 When asked as to the reports coming out of New York to the effect that w. c. Nixon, one of the receivers. was to be elected president, and w. B. Riddle, another receiver, was to be named first vice president of the line, MT. Moore stated that he could make no comment.
 He declared, however, that both of them were known to be extremely friendly to Birmingham and this district and that if they were chosen to head the road it could not be other than advantageous so far as the development of this section was concerned. That these two officials are to be chosen for the places mentioned has been announced unofficially in New York financial circles during the past week and it is considered certain here that they will be elected when the re- organization is completed next month.

Before large gathering of housewives of Birmingham at Cable Hall at o'clock yesterday afternoon Dr. l.. L. Lumsden or the government health service, empha- sized the importance of removing from Birmingham the 5000 dry closets here, as the first steps in the prevention of a re- currence of the typhoid epidemic in fu- ture years.
 Dr. Lumsden told the ladies that the dry closet would be eliminated just as soon as they convinced the voters of the necessity for their removal, and not sooner.
 He read extracts from his report made to the city commission yesterday after noon and commented on them, paying especial attention to the recommendation that the dry closets located within sewer limits be removed as soon as practicable. He told his audience at Cable Hall that this recommendation was the most im- portant he made and, in fact was the cruX of the situation here
