REFERRING DENIED ID WESTERN UNION Case in Courts for Several Years Is Finally
 Settled

Montgomery, February 15.-(Special) In overruling the application for re- hearing of the case of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company vs. the Western Union Telegraph company, the supreme court today probably finally dis posed of the litigation which had been pending between these companies for the past several years concerning the right of the telegraph company to condemn the right-of-way of the carrier for the erec- tion of telephone and telegraph poles.
 The case has been in the courts sev- eral years, and was brought by the West ern Union Telegraph company to com pei the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company to permit the use of it's right of-way for telegraph and telephone pur- poses. The case was first decided by the supreme court in favor of the tele- graph company. Later the court decided in favor of the. railway. The court to- day refused to grant an application for a rehearing of the case
 Other applications overruled by the court were as follows:
 Seals Piano and Organ company vs N. J. Bell, ct al., appeal from Montgomery circuit court application granted in part. opinion changed; judgment of affirm anee set aside, and judgment of the cir cult court affirmed in part and in part reversed and rendered
 Martha l.. Betts, ct al. vs. Robert L.. Ward, appeal from Madison chancery court; application granted in part and opinion corrected.

MRS. GLOVER HAD ID LEAVE KENTUCKY ON
 ACCOUNT OF HEALTH
Declares She Is Now Well and Happy Since Taking Tanlac and Has Gained
 16 Pounds

My husband thinks Tanlac is the greatest medicine on earth, and it's small wonder he does, for have gained It pounds on two bottlesr' was the truly remarkable statement of Mrs. J. Fl. Glover. wife of leading citizen of the Woodlawn section of Birmingham, made in the presence of Nessrs. Eugene Jacobs and George G. Reid few days ago.
 MT. and Mrs. Glover live at 56O7 Sec ond avenue south, and are not only pop ular with a large circle of friends, but Mir. Glover has been identified prominent ly with many civic undertakings.
 ''Yes." continued Mrs. Glover, i've just praise Tanlac and talk it up all the time. for I feel that I owe it a great deal l had been sick a long, long time, and we had to leave Kentucky and come further south on account of my bad state of health. The doctors said I would never get well if I didn't make the change. We came here and it seemed to help a little while, but I had bad attack of rheumatism and lost weight until l went down to 94 pounds"
 T had bad stomach trouble and was in an extremely nervous and rundown con- dition, and I was not able to do any llt- He work about the house. The doctors finally decided I should be operated upon, put L WOu1Q not consent lOI Iu0 hllAAS lO be used on me, and then my condition seemed to develop into a chronic case. lost my appetite and the nervousness became so much worse that felt l couldn't stand it much longer.
 About this time I began reading up on Tanlac and, as we happened to know some of the people who had been helped by it. I decided to try it. I have now taken two bottles and I actually weigh l1O pounds besides my troubles have entirely disappeared. I eat anything 1 want and just as much of it as l care to, and everything agrees with me thor oughly and gives me strength.
 ssTanlac has done a great deal for our home and my husband and l are two of the most grateful people you ever saw. We never get tired of talking about Tan lac and telling other people what a great medicine we have found it to be-
 In reporting this remarkable case, MT. George c. Reid, a Tanlac representative, said:
 II was never more impressed in my life with the good this medicine is doing than when this little woman told her story of recovered health after years or illness. She seemed full of energy and her enthusiasm fairly sparkied m ner face No one who could hear this story as T did could doubt her sincerity, grat1- tude and firm faith in Tanlac. MT. Glo- Yer is equally appreciative and has told q great many people about what it has done for his wife"
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company. It is sold in Bessemer by the Pegram-Patton Drug company, in Ensley by the D. w. Mor- 1.is Drug company, in Pratt City by the Gale Drug company, in North B1r1nlng- ham by Walker Drug company, and by regularly established agencies in all prln- cipal towns of the state.-Adv.

lS3 SUBMARINES OF ALL TYPES NEEDED
 TO DEFEND COUNTRY
Continued from Page One, very material difference between the two coasts" replied Admiral Grant.
 ALL IN PACIFIC

~A4]k] A4t l kA0lE 1O
 Admiral Grant pointed out that with three effective, mobile submarines on the Pacific coast and four more at Honolulu there were more of the available force engaged in that work than in protecting the Atlantic, where, he said, only five of these mobile boats were stationed.
 Representative Stevens said he had ref erence to the whole question of naval protection, battleships, cruisers destroy- CTS and other craft as well as subma- rines. The admiral replied that he could not discuss questions of naval policy in that regard as other officers in the de- partment had charge of such matters
 To illustrate the difficulties of sub- merging quickly a boat S15 feet long, such as the proposed 25-knot steam subma- rines, Admiral Grant said that if it was attempted to sed them down at an angle of 30 degrees the bows would be 150 feet below the surface while the stern was still on top Of course, he added, they would never be sent down except at an angle of very few degrees and would submerge virtually on an even keel An error in case of pressing emergency, however, he pointed out, might send her down so her bows would be crushed by the pressure of the water before her stern was out of sight.
 Bids for the construction of two 1500- ton seagoing submarines, the largest ever designed by the navy department, will be opened tomorrow. Specifications for the beats provide that they must have a minimum surface speed of 20 knots and a possible speed of 25: that they shall not exceed cost of $1,500,O0O each and may be either steam or oil propelled. It is understood, however, that the depart ment has decided to accept bids for 20- knot boats, not insisting on more speed and has abandoned the idea of steam DrODlllsiOn

 Many fantastic reports were brought to the police, among them being the- ory that Crones, having failed to cause the death of the dinner guests as he had planned had killed himself or had been executed at the command of pow erful agents who had intrusted to him the execution of their designs.
 On receipt of a telegram from the Milwaukee chief of police that Bonino Marco. believed to be 8 friend of All 1cgrini and taken in custody there, had been found to have been working steadily in Milwaukee and was work ing there at the time of the banquet, Captain Hunt telegraphed to the Mill waukee chief to release the man.
 Doubt of the existence of an an- archistic plan was expressed by Her man Schuettler, assistant chief of po- lice, who said that no connection had teen clearly shown between Crones and such an organization.

KITCHENER REVIEWS
 WAR SITUATION IN
 THE HOUSE OF LORDS
(Continued from Page One)

Flanders, since the capture of Loos and the forward movement in Champagne the allied lines have remained practically unchanged. Through the winter the mor- ale of the French army has been main tained at the same high level and their fighting qualities have never been greater or more highly developed than at pres ent-
 Our troops throughout the winter have been constantly carrying on active opera tions which have given no rest or respite to the enemy.
 "The activities of the Italian army were conspicuous in October and November during their advance on the Isonzo. Their efforts since then have not been re- faxed, although the positions occupied by the enemy are so strong as to bar for the present the development of a forward movement, which the splendid courage of the Italian troops is sure eventually to push home.
 RUSSIA RECOVERING
 Notwithstanding the heavy blows and
 the consequent losses sustained by Rus sia in the summer of 1915, her army has been thoroughly reorganized and re-
 equipped and her armaments increased.
 The Turkish army, reinforced by Ger man supplies, was able to organize a
 movement of troops either against Egypt or to strengthen their forces in Mesopo- tamia, and at the same time to bring more powerful artillery to bear against our positions on the Gallipoh peninsula. It was therefore decided to withdraw from the peninsula and to reinforce our troops at Saloniki and in Egypt. During last winter an abortfve at- tempt on the Suez canal was easily
 pushed aside by the small British force operatin in that neihborhood, but as a more serious attempt has been threat ened, adequate preparations have been made to defend the canal.
 "The Turco-German influence with the religious chief of the Senussi tribesmen on the western flank in Egypt succeeded in inducing the tribes of Cyrenaica and Tripoli to assume a hostile attitude to- ward us Their first attempts resulted in complete failure and disaster, and though this movement still causes cer- tain amount of unrest, the admirable loy- atty of the people of Egypt forms an ef- l fectiye barrier to any penetration by these raiders into the cultivated areas. .sIn East Africa several small engage ments have enable us to extend our posi- tions In the Kameruns joint operations undertaken by French ad British troops have brouht the country entirely under the control of the allies. The campaign l there may be regarded as concluded. .'In the future as in the past we have our dangers and difficulties, throughout which the spirit of our troops at the front | and the calm determination of the people at home to support them will enable us l to look forward to a victorious issue which should ensure peace for many gen. erations."

HARD TO sUBMERGE

Difficulty of rapid submersion of the steam driven vessels, of providing neces- sary equipment for dissipating the gases and fumes thrown off by the engines, and of making the vessel habitable when submerged, have influenced American naval experts against experimenting with vessels of such drive power
 In view of divergence of opinion as to what type of submarine is best suited to the needs of the United States, Secretary Daniels has decided that the further construction of larger vessels shall de pend principally upon the result of the experiments of those to be bid for to- morrow and of the Schley Until the re suits of these are known. it is expected that the department will not design sub marines of more than 800 tons.
