A. Q. U, W. BANQUET
 MONDAY NIGHT

One of the biggest fraternal functions given in Prescott for a long time was the meeting of the A. o. U. w. lodge Monday night and the banquet which followed. The occasion was the he initia- tion of class of nineteen in- to the order. and the presence of a number of ,the high state off, cials.
 A number of visiting members from Hope were present, and the hall was crowded during the de- gree work.
 After the secret work was fin ished the members moved to the lower floor, where the ladies had prepared a most tempting and appetizing banquet. Covers were spread for over 150, and every chair was taken, Master Workman c. B. Andrews acted as toastmaster, and the open ex- ercises were begun with prayer by H. L. Cross. Grand Recorder of the order. Music was furnish ed during the evening by Misses McMillian, Andrews and Eaves, and the working quartette, " composed of Willard Walthall, Charlie Jones, H. o. Almand and Alvin Woosley, rendered several selections.
 Among the subjects responded to by the several speakers was Arkansas and the A. o. U. w." by Grand Master Workman, J. R. Frazer, who gave the audi ence a true conception of the work being done by the order in this state.
 Grand Recorder, H. l., Cross, responded to the subject Rates and assured the members that dues in this fraternal insurance order has been fixed for all time to come. MT. Cross has been Grand Recorder for 14 years and is thoroughly acquainted with the subjects of rates.
 J. L. Bond, Democratic nomi- nee for Superintendent of Public Instruction. A. c. Wolfe. E. s. Cunningham and Dr. w. l.. Warrington, district deputies, and Mir. Atkins, a member of the Hope lodge, made interesting and appropriate remarks. The speakers were introduced by the toastmaster with appro. priate lymrics, and the large audience gave unusual attention.
 The feast prepaerd by the com mittee of ladies was the cause ot many complimentary remarks and they are to be congratulated on the splendid success of the occasion.
 The class initiated was the re. suit of the persistent efforts o1 District Deputy, k. s. Cunning, ham. assisted by Deputy, A. c. Wolfe. and the local features were made possible by the untir- ing efforts of w, NJ. Hayes. as. sisted by other members of the lodge.
 The occasion added new spirit to the A. o. U. w. lodge at this place, which has grown from a small hand full to nearly one hun dred members in the past few years.
 All left the hall feeling that they were members of the best fraternal order in the world, and secretly pledged themselves anew to the enobling obligations taken when they joined the lodge.
 Two photographs of the occas- ion, one taken in the lodge room, and the other in the banquet hall, were flashed by Mir. NeWth and will be interesting views to the members of the party.

Knott to Remain as
Democratic Nominee
in Florida Election

Tallahassee, Fla, October 6-The
state supreme court here late today
refused the petitions of both w. V.
of primary returns in certain districts,
leaving Knott with more votes than
Cats in the race for the democratic
nomination for governor of Florida.
Knott at present holds the certificate
of nomination. it having been taken
from Cats and given to him by the
state canvassing board after recent
recount showed Knott IS votes ahead
throughout the state.
FLORIDA law requires that nominees
must be certified at least 80 days be-
fore an election and it was said here
tonight that this time limit would ex-
pire at midnight tomorrow night and
not tonight, as first announced. Should
no other action be successfully taken
before expiration of the time limit,
Knott would remain the democratic
nominee and it was claimed by Knots
friends that no way was open for 9TH
er action. Cats. who was winner OF
the nomination on the first count, al
ready has declared his intention OF
running for governor in the election
November whether or not he finally
got the democratic nomination and
claims to have Endorsement of prohi-
bitionists. Republicans, usually a neg
ligible factor in Florida state politics
have announced through their state
committee that they will make active
efforts this year to elect their guber-
material nominee, George w. Allen.

BIRMINGHAM MAKES
TO RETAIN
TRAINING SCHOOL
Delegation of Ten Business
Men Call on Governor and
Argue Against It's Re-
moval to the Capital

Montgomery, October 6.-(special.)
Ten of Birmingham's foremost business
men this afternoon told Governor Hen
derson why the Alabama Girls Strain
ing school should be retained in Biz
mingham. They submitted to him a
proposition to deed to the state 10
acres of land on the Mount Pinson road
as site for the school, in exchange for
the present property without one cents
cost to the state. The property which
it is proposed to give in exchange lies
six miles from Birmingham and two
miles from the foot of Mount Pinson
and is regarded as among the choice
lands of Alabama. Forty acres of it is
on ridge 500 feet high, beautifully
wooded and admirably adapted for the
buildings, while 10 acres lies below in
a magnificent, fertile valley and pos
sesses an excellent spring as a source
of water supply. The property belongs
to N. L. Miller.
The committee was in conference
with the executive more than an hour
and although the governor gave no
hint as to his decision in the matter,
he stated that he would visit Birming
ham in the next few days for the pur-
pose of inspecting the site that has
been offered He listened attentively 20
tn arguments presented by Morris
Bush. PRESIDENT of the Chamber of Com
merce; Maj. James Bowron, Frank p.
Glass and Frank Fowlkes.
They stated to the goversor that the
board of trustees of the institution have
unanimously Endorsed the proposition and
they asked for his approval of the pro-
ject. The principal reasons urged by the
committeeman in behalf OF birmingham
claims to the institution were that it
originated in that city, and that it be-
longs there in the center of the states
greatest population where it can do most
good. 1t was also shown that the people
of Birmingham, as well as the city and
county have heretofore subscribed lib
orally toward the support of the school,
thereby stamping it as a Birmingham in
stitution. The argument. too, was pre-
scented that the girls, after emerging from
the school, have a better chance of find
ing employment in Birmingham owing to
it's greater advantages in that way over
any other city in Alabama
After the conference was concluded,
members of the committee expressed
themselves as being well pleased over
the audience with the executive, but
they could not say that the governor
gave the remotest indication SO far that
he would indorse the Mt. Pinson road
site. They felt reasonably sure, however,
that when he is taken over the property
he will be as enthusiastic as they are.
The committee was composed of Nor
rs Bush president of the Chamber of
Commerce; DR.. J. H finder, president of
the board of trade; W. B. Everett, sec
rotary of the Chamber of Commerce.;
Maj James Bowron, Gus Pope, Angus
Taylor, Frank P. Glass. Frank Fowlkes,
Frank Hammond and John Cartwright.
They returned to Birmingham tonight.

Strike Sympathizers
Indicted in Atlanta

Atlanta, October 6.-Fourteen indict-
ments in connection with rioting near
Hapeville, a suburb, were returned late
today by the Fulton county grand jury

others being for misdemeanors. Many
of the defendants were arrested and re-
leased on bonds Thursday, the trouble
having broken out Wednesday night.
The grand jury also resolved to meet
twice a week from now on, or oftener
eff necessary" during the present ''un-
settled conditions.
Cars continued to run tonight on re-
'duced schedules, except on few lines
where service has been virtually aban-
doned since shortly after the motor
men and conductors went on strike last
Saturday to enforce recognition of
their newly formed union.

Fifth German War Loan
Being Quickly Subscribed

Berlin, October 6.-(Via Z London.)
Although no general summary of the
subscriptions to the fifth war loan is
yet available, the totals compiled in
various cities and the amounts sub
scribed through various banks gener-
ally are somewhat higher than the
corresponding amounts of the fourth
war loan. If the subscriptions in the
agricultural districts maintain the same
ratio as those in the cities the indi-
cations are that the fifth loan will ex-
coed the fourth, although not reach
ing the high-water mark of the war.
