ANTLSALOON LEAGUE ID ASSEMBLE TODAY
Trustees Will Outline Work of Organization for the
 Coming Year

The meeting of the board of trus- tees of the Alabama Anti-Saloon league at 1:So o'clock today at the Y, M. c. A. building has attracted wide spread interest throughout the state.
 It is anticipated that the board will consider in more or less detail the recommendations of Brooks Lawrence, the superintendent of the organiza- tion, and that whatever recommends tions he makes will be ratified. The details which may arise during the next year will doubtless be left to the discretion of the headquarters commit tee and Superintendent Lawrence.
 Due to the fact that the race for the governorship, the legislature, United States Senate and numerous important county offices are just in their in- ception, the people of the state are watching the attitude of the trustees today.
 The Anti Saloon league is known to be irrevocably committed to the con tinuance of the present prohibition law and it will fight to the limit against any move looking toward changing the present status. Despite the effort which has been made to create the impression that the league stands in favor of passing certain drastic measures. the highest officials of the organization state that the pres ent laws are considered in every way ample to meet the needs of the times.
 It is anticipated that large num- Der of the prominent pf3' ibition lead CTS throughout the state will be pres ent at the meeting today. Due to the wedding of his daughter Dr. w. B. Crumpton, president of the league, will be unable to be present.

CORONA
 MINES CAN CARE
 FOR THE INCREASE
New Orleans Purchase, However, Gives Company 500,000 Tons of New
 Business

The acquisition of the business and equipment of the Pittsburg Coal com pany and the Monongahela River Consoii- dated Coal and Coke company of New Orleans by the Adler brothers will not cause immediately further development or their coal lands.
 The sale will give to the Corona Coal and Iron company 5O0,O0O tons of new business, but despite this the mines that are now in operation can fill the de- mands, inasmuch as they are capable of producing 100000 tons annually.
 The Adler interests own approximately 45,O0O acres of coal lands. and only 10000 acres are now developed by the coal mines, Though the 1915 output was little more than 4oO,0oo tons. the mines are capable of 1.0oo.Oo0 tons yearly.
 Though the mines of the Adlers are at Corona and Townley, which are req sonably near the Warrior river. the coal for New Orleans delivery will be shipped by rail The company owns POO coal carriers of the great capacity type, and will not be greatly hindered by the exist ing coal car shortage
 While no statement has been given out in Birmingham that the Adlers would utilize the warrior river to transport thc.r immense tonnages to New Orleans, it is intimated that there is a probability of shipping by barges later.
 Among the six tugboats purchased is one rather unique craft-the Wilmot. This is the most powerful tugboat that plies the Mississippi or the gulf. At the time ot its manufacture 1t was the most pow erful tugboat in the United States. It s said to be capable of developing S0.0o0- horse power
 Of the coal that is produced by the Co., roma Coal company and the Birmingham Fuel company between 80 and & per cent of it is steam coal

APPEAL TAKEN IN
 COURT INJUNCTION
Future Status of Criminal Courts Must Be Decided
 by Highest Tribunal

An appeal on the injunction grant ed Saturday afternoon by Chancellor Alfred H. Benners, restraining the board of revenue from paying out funds to transfer cases from the crim- inal court to the consolidated court dockets was filed yesterday afternoon by Attorney w. K. Terry of the county board.
 Immediately following the filing of the appeal and the filing of bond for the costs in the case, the register in chancery started making a transcript of the case to be sent to the supreme court where it will be argued Decem- Der 21.
 The injunction of Chancellor Ben ncrs divorced the county criminal court from the consolidated court act and if sustained by the supreme court means that the criminal court will re- main in operation as it is now.
 It will also mean that Gov. Charles Henderson will be called upon to ap- point two new criminal court judges should Judges William F. Fort and Harrington P. Heflin decide that inas- much as they were elected for, six year term as circuit court judges they prefer to remain in that position, as is their right under the law. If Judge Fort should decide to remain on the criminal bench he can do so without appointment from the governor, as he has two more years of his elected term to serve yet. In the case of Judge Heflin. however, his term as criminal judge expires at the end of the year and should he decide to re- main with the county criminal court he would have to be appointed by the governor. It is stated, however. about the courthouse that if the supreme court holds that the criminal court is separate and distinct from the con- solidated circuit court both Judges Fort and Heflin will elect to serve out their terms of six years as circuit judges rather than take two years on the criminal court until the next pri- mary
