Dr. L. L. Lumsden, the United State government typhoid expert, will leave Bir mingham this afternoon for Kansas City He has completed his labors in this dis trict.
 However, the city of Birmingham vii not be without the services of a fedora expert as pr. Carl Fox, of the governmen health service, will arrive in the city thi! morning to take up the work of the uni fication of the health departments of the city and county
 Dr. Fox is an expert at organization He ranks as high in his particular branch
 
 these districts, in accord with the pro visions of the bill, without having Ala bama at about the center of the south eastern district. There must be some states in the district north of Alabama and with Florida to the south, naturally falling into the same district with us, and Birmingham being a little north of the center of the state would seem to be ideally located.
 Then the law provides that the com | shall give due consideration to the needs of the respective sections of the country and the benefits that would accrue to them from the operations of the farm loan system. In that respect we can hold our own with any of the other contenders. While Alabama may not be quite as far advanced along agricultural lines and in the matter of diversification, no state has made more rapid strides re- gently than we have. Furthermore, no state can profit more in the development of it's agricultural resources from the new farm loan system than Alabama.
 WORK ALREADY DONE
 '"The work has been done in this state along the lines of diversification and in educating the farmers to em : ploy better methods in their work will be of great assistance in this ef- fort to locate one of the banks here. Of course, the work done by Mrs. G. H. Mathis, under the direction of the state bankers association, has been the most important single factor and has served to attract attention all over the country to the movement under way in this state.
 Then practically every county in Alabama has employed farm experts. the railroads and other corporations have devoted much money and effort along these lines and the various boards of county commissioners have aided in the general awakening along agricultural lines.

PRESIDENT DRIVES
 WITH IRON HAND
tcontinued from Page one>

following editorial declares that Tthe Senate should preserve it's character as a deliberative body and not transform itself into bill-passing machine
 MT. Underwoods translation from the House to the Senate did not change his opinion that the business of a legisla- tive body is to legislate. He has re- trained from frequently presenting this bizarre notion to his fellow senators, fear ing it's effect upon them, perhaps, in these humid midsummer days, but recent ly a situation arose which seems to have compelled him to take desperate chance.
 There is a rule In the House that if an amendment to which an objection would lie is not objected to when of fered in committee of the whole it can- not thereafter be objected to. The pur- pose, of course, is to prevent hours, days. of discussion on an amednment which, without the rule might be later cut out by single objection.
 The Senate had devoted days in com mittee of the whole to the discussion of an amendment subject to objection but to which objection was not made. It adopted the amendment Later an ob- lection was made. MT. Underwood pro- tested saying
 T am one of those members of the Senate who would readily and cheerfully vote for a reasonable cloture rule in this body, and for a redrafting of the rules along parliamentary plan under which the Senate could transact business in an orderly way; but it does not seem prob able that such revision can be adopted. When, however, we reach a question of this kind. the Senate can certainly de- termine whether it will move toward a set of rules or precedents that will aid in the orderly and expeditions transac- tion of business or whether it Is going to keep the gates wide open for delay and continued confusion in legislative enactment. That Is the situation that we are facing on this amendment
 "The vice president indicated that he would sustain the point of order. and MT. Underwood demanded the ayes and noes.
 The Record discloses that the Senate voted to continue the transaction of busi- ness in the old way: yeas 31; nays, 27 Irritating as some of the situations ere. ated by it's rules are, the Senate because of them has been able to protect the nation from i'll considered legislation in a manner impossible in the House; but to this fact less attention is given than to the occasional inconvenience they have sometimes worked
 The Senate should preserve it's char acter as a deliberative body, and not transform itself into bill passing ma chne.'

OSCAR WELLS SAYS BIRMINGHAM IS IN BANK FIGHT ID WIN Alabama Cities Must Work Together to Get Bank for
 This State THEN THRESH OUT THEIR DIFFERENCES First Meeting of Committee Is Held and Formal Entry Has
 Been Made Into the
 Contest

Birmingham's geographical situation and its location in the heart of an az ricultural section, which can be greatly benefited by the operations of the fedora loan system, will, in the opinion of Oscai Wells, work to the advantage of this city in its efforts to secure one of those banks
 MT. Wells, who Is chairman of the committee which will have charge oi the campaign to locate the bank here IS already at work on plans and with the assistance of the members of the com mittee, is preparing to see that nothing is left undone in the presentation of the claims of this city.
 After making a study of the new fed eral farm loan bank bill, and its pro- visions for 12 of these banks in different parts of the country, it seems to me that Birmingham is peculiarly we'll located geographically for the bank in the south east" said MT. Wells yesterday.

ter the country could look forward to the accomplishment of the original i'm tention and that there would be no evacuation of the country.
 David Lloyd-George, secretary for war, announced in the House of Com 1 mons today that it had been decided that henceforth the commander in chief of India would be under direct control of the army council in London in re- spect of supplies for his forces Repre- sentatives of the war office, the sec- retary said, would be sent out to as- sist in the supply arrangements, and in future acquisitions from Mesopotamia for stores would be made to the war office. N David Lloyd-George secretary for war, gave a long explanation of the Meso- potamian difficulties, which, he said, had arisen largely. through the peculiar rela- tions existing between the government in India and the home authorities. Thus, he stated, while Sir William E. Robert
 son, chief of the imperial staff, directed the military operations, the Indian gov ernment supplied the forces, and the com mander-in-c in India was responsible for the supplies. Every requisition made on the war office for aid for the sick and wounded and for transport had been honored, the secretary assertd
 A new arrangement had been made with the Indian government, MT. Lloyd-George said, by which India would remain the main base of the forces, which would continue to be administered by the com mander-in-chief in India, and by which 1 the latter now would receive instructions | from and be responsible to the army council in regard to matters of personnel l and supplies, and would be assisted by such officers as the army council felt ] it desirable to appoint.
 l The first duty the speaker said, was to put things right, and the second was to fix the responsibility for any negligence or incapacity. It was important, he stated, that the inquiry should not delay action, and he hoped the House would carry the bill, sanctioning the inquiry, l through all it's stages on Monday.
 l Replying to severe denunciations of the
 :, Mesopotamian campaign by Lord Wemyss
 lin introducing his motion in the House
 of Lords demanding an investigation, the
 1 Marquis of Crewe, lord president of the
 counsel, said that in the critical moments
 l of August, 1914 it was imperative for
 Great Britain to reassert her paramount
 1 position in the Persian gulf and prevent
 the declaration of holy war.
 | He referred to the difficulties confront I ing the Indian government, and said that
 from December 1914, to September follow
 ] ing there had been no less than seven l separate attacks, some of a very formid-
 able character, on India's northwest front, and contended that before passing final judgment on the Indian officials 1t would
 be necessary to consider the particular system of military organization there. Lord Crewe then made statement
 similar to that of Premier AsQuith in 1 the House of Commons.

TREyINO'S REPORT

Chihuahua City, Mex. July 20.-With his followers scattered into small groups, Villa, accompanied only by a bodyguard of six men, is making for the noun tains of Durango, according to a report received here today at military head quarters.
 General Trevino in charge of opera tions. announced that this news came from General Larreaga at Tepehuana, communicated through General Maycotte The message stated that government troops under General Matias Ramos were following a hot trail after Villa, while General Larreaga is moving up with rein forcements He hopes to overtake Ramos by tomorrow
 Villa is said to be leading the flight getting good start on his followers. Larreaga expresset the opinion that the bandit intended to go into hiding until the hunt blew over Today General Trevino reiterated his purpose of pursu- ing the bandits to extermnation. Jose Isabel Robles, Canuto Reyes anc Hilario Rodriguez had another long con ference today with General Trevino at headquarters. preparatory to leaving fol the state of San Luis Potosi for the pur- pose of bringing the Oedillos brothers and other former Villa followers into the Carranza army.
 Other points are reported quiet.

[ sections of Alabama has also helped out.
 While it has not yet been an- nounced just what plan the commits sion in charge of locating these banks will pursue, 1t would seem reasonable to suppose, following the precedent set in the case of the federal reserve banks, that hearings will be conducted in the different sections of the country and the arguments of the different cities and states heard In view of that fact, we will invite the commission to meet in Birmingham when they make their investigations in this section. Atlanta has not yet applied for the farm loan bank and since the federal reserve bank of this district Is located there, it hard seems probable that any Geor- gia city will be an applicant.
 ''Of course it Is to be hoped that neither Montgomery nor Mobile will make the fight for this bank, but should they see fit to do so. we must all three work to- gether first to get the bank for Alabama. Then we can present to the commission the relative merits of the three cities. We certainly cannot afford to have any fight on among our own cities.
 T recall that three Texas cities were applicants for the federal reserve bank. but all got together and named a general
 
 for Texas After that was agreed upon then the question of which city should be favored was taken up. The geogra phical position of Mobile is not so favorable as that of Birmingham. and this city has certain advantages over Mont gomery, but under no circumstances should we have any disagreement which might prevent one of the banks coming to this state
 ''The campaign for Birmingham is al- ready well under way. We have notified the secretary of the treasury, who Is to be the chairman of the commission locating these banks, that we are in the fight to the finish We have also taken the matter up with the senators from Alabama and with our congressman. We are now preparing our data and mapping out the campaign. We will be able to present to the commission some very strong reasons for locating the bank for the southeast in Birmingham, and the people may rest assured that we will leave no stone unturned to crown this movement with success"
 FIRST MEETING HELD
 The first meeting Of the committee was held yesterday morning and definite plans for prosecuting the claims of Bir- mingham were launched. At the sugges- ton of Chairman Wells, 1t was decided to finance the campaign by popular sub- scriptions and to handle this matter sepa- rately from the Chamber os Commerce. It was decided that subscriptions of $1o or whereabouts be asked from about 15O patriotic citizens and the different mem bers of the committee responded prompt ly yesterday. It is expected that within the>next few days, there will be sufficient donations to conduct the fight and carry it to a successful conclusion.
 The members of the committee are: Oscar Wells, chairman; w. w. Craw- ford, Tom O. Smith, Leo K. Steiner, John H. Frey, E. w. Barrett, James J. Smith, J. w. Mcqueen, V. H. Hanson, H. w. Coffon, George Gordon Crawford, Ster- ling A. Wood. Robert Jemison, Jr., and Crawford Johnson.

By RICHARD F. Luss1ER

IN the past motion picture censor
 ship has been ridiculed and justly A in these columns-but pernicious as photoplay censorship would prove to be it is evidently made necessary by some of the pictures being im- ported into Birmingham at the present time.
 The managers of Birmingham mo- ton picture theatres are too familiar with local sentiment and the powerful body of women's clubs to risk show ing any picture that would arouse their portest. They have high class programmes, such as the Paramount, Triangle, World, V. l.. s. E., Blue Bird, and Metro Universal and Gen. eral Film service. With few excep- tions pictures from the above studios can attract the public to the theatre without appealing to the lowest in- stincts of man.
 Censorship is a hateful thing-but it takes poison to kill poison and the sensational, meaningless picture should be banned off the local screens.

 WOMAN"
 While on recent trip to New York, Manager Edward Colley booked Gods Country and the Woman,'' a seven-part Vitagraph V. L. S. B. feature, for a return engagement at the Trianon thea tre.
 Gods Country and the Woman" features Nell Shipman and Will liam Duncan and is a good ad- venturous story of the great north woods, written by James Oliver Curwood.
 Gods Country and the Woman" was shown at the Ria1to theatre some weeks ago and played to en- thusiastic crowds. Its return en- gagement is welcomed as it is a good, clean picture of the high est type.
