SENIOR CLASS 0F THE STATE. UNIVERSITY
 THREATEN ID RESIGN
Demand Reinstatement of Classmate Who Was Dis missed for Hazing-Gen-
 eral Strike Contemplated

The members of the senior class of tie university are threatening to strike and resign from the institution in a was dismissed for hazing, is reinstated, according to information received in. Bir- mingham last night. It is said one of the seniors was dismissed following an in spection or hazing of freshmen at mid night Tuesday night, and his classmates are considering the advisability of de- manding his reinstatement. It is report ed that meeting of the students who took part in the hazing of freshmen has been called and threats of general strike on the part of the seniors are being made.
 Hazing has been under the ban at the university for sometime but, ac- cording to information received here la st night, about 45 seniors held an "inspec- tion, or hazing, of about the same num- bef of freshmen at midnight Tuesday night. The freshmen were carried to the negro baseball park. some distance from the university. and after being treated to the usual bedslat drill, were required to give cheers for the senior class. The reported trouble is said to have developed following the dismissal of one of the seniors. Whether other dis missals are contemplated could not be learned, although hazing has been one of the offenses for which students would be expelled for sometime
 Whether the seniors will decide. not to demand the reinstatement of their class mate, and whether the threatened strike will nnaterialize was 8 matter of some speculation among university alumni here last night who had heard of the affair."

Paul E. Chalifoux to Put Four in Service for the Kirkpatrick Sand and Ce- ment Company
UNABLE TO DELIVER
 GOODS ORDERED
 TO CUBAN POINTS
Extra Space in Vessels Will Be Utilized by Other Bir- mingham Concerns Sell ing in South

Means for transporting the products of and South America and Mexico, will be available by July 1, through the pur- chase of four three-masted schooners by Paul E. Chalifoux. treasurer of the Kirk patrick Sand and Cement company.
 An announcement to this effect was made yesterday by MT, Chalfoux, fol- lowing his return from Chicago, where the vessels were bought
 The Kirkpatrick Sand and Cement com pary, as we'll as large number of other manufacturers in the Birmingham district. has been unable to fill it's orders in Cuba, Mexico, Central and South America since the outbreak of the war, due to lack of cean-g going transportation facilities. This company has orders for large amounts of cement in these southern coun- tries and it is expected that with the facilities for transportation, they will be able to greatly increase their business. Other Birmingham corporations and man. ufacturers will it is announced, patronize the schooners in their export trade.
 GETTING SCHOONERS IN SHAPE
 The schooners are now being put in shape in Chicago, and will later be car ried through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic. Two of the ships are now ready, another will be in shape within week and the fourth will be. prepared for the sea within the course of few weeks. At New York they vfl be equipped with auxiliary engines and will take on cargo for Mobile. They will reach the gulf port and be ready for regular service not later than July |
 A company will be formed known as the Mobile Navigation company to. take over the schooners and some river equip ment of the Southern Fuel and Material company, which is the Mobile agent for the Kirkpatrick Sand and Cement. com pany The Southern Fuel company now owns and operates two towboats and 10 river barges. An additional self pro- polling, ocean-going, 1000-fon barge is to be built, and it is stated that other boats and barges will be added from time to time. In discussing the purchase of the schooners and the plans for developing

OTHERS TO USE BARGES

While we have not solicited any or ders in South America, I know that since we have our transportation prob lems solved, we can get that business. Any space in the ships that is not re- quired for our own products will be taken readily by other exporters The Gulf States Steel. company has already agreed to ship some of the products for the southern countries in our ships. There are other companies in the Bir- mingham district that have orders in Cuba, General and South America and I expect to see a considerable increase In this business. From time to time, we will add to the number of ships and barges, it being our intention to start with these and increase as the need arises.
 .'As soon as Birmingham gets on the Warrior river as is now planned. ex- pect the present rate. of 31a cents on
 cement from our plant at Ragland, on the Coosa river to Birmingham, to ap- ply also to the Warrior river. Tn that event we will ship our products there for transportation to Mobile and be- Iyond When the Coosa river is made |navigable as high as Ragland, We will run the barges right up to our plant"

MONEY LOSS FROM MILK SHORTAGE DUE. ID TICK ENORMOUS Tick Costs Jefferson County
 S23,400 a Month in
 Milk Alone R. E. JACKSON SAYS
 VOTERS CAN END IT Urges Them to Put Jefferson County on Proper Basis to Profit From
 Cattle Industry-Cattle UndersiZed
 

Jefferson county is the last county in
 Alabama to vote on tick eradication thls spring It is only one out of Is counues that will be doing active tick eradlca- ton work during this year, if the voters
 of the county stand for the compulsory
 dipr.ing measure on May g. Last year there were nine counties in Alabama that voted for tick eradication, and now each of those counties is free from the quar- antine and also the tick.
 On May g. at the time of the democratic
 primary election, the question of ridding Jefferson county of ticks will be put be-
 fore the voters. There some who are against the compulsory dipping, but the fact that they are against it goes to prove that they have not thought the matter ever carefully, according to gov
 ernment experts. The objection that has been voiced is against dipping every two weeks, as the law provided, but unless this is done the tick could not be. Killed. as government statistics show that A tick natures and drops off every IS days.
 PROLIFIC IN EGG LAYING :: From. careful study of the matter by experts in the employ Of the govern ment. it has been found that a fully natllred tick matches from 3000 to 5000
 eggs. and as soon as the ticks are matched they. at once mount to the top of a weed or blade of grass and wait for the COW to come alorg Thousands of these pests are picked up by the COW with only slight touch of the tick-infested weed or grass blade. These ticks in the course of IS days are matured and drop off to breed thousands of other ticks.
 .Tha, Jefferson county should not Dc slow in getting in line with the other counties that have lifted the tick quar-. ant:ne is the opinion of R. E. Jackson. government inspector in charge of Ala bama In an interview with Mir. Jack son yesterday afternoon, he gave out some interesting figures on Jefferson county cattle and the loss of milk, but ter and meat sustained from the tick | ii, one month. The facts as given by MT Jackson were submitted after. careful study of conditions in this and other counties and a careful investigation. An enormous amount of milk. is lost each month from tick consumption, said Mir Jackson. 'The last census report showed that there were 1900 milk cows 1 in Jefferson county, Alabama. An ex- pertinent conducted in Florida by the de- paitment of agriculture two years ago showed that the loss in the quantity of | milk OH account of tick infestation was whe,e the infestation was slight 1S.6 l per cent, and in case where the infesta- | ton was heavy, 42.4 per cent per day, | or T daily average loss of 30 per cent TAG 1o nnO NH CLJ C0uyC

ARmLEss AUTO DRIVER HERE.
Frank z. Fithen Performs Many Stun.'
With Roadster.

With both his arms cut off above
the elbow as the result of a railroad
accident, Frank E. Fithen, OF Steuben-
willie, O., contrives nevertheless to drive
an automobile about the country ana
make a living as easily as many peo-
pie with two strong arms. F1then was
in the city Wednesday, giving several
exhibitions down town and selling post
cards of himself. He has visited Mar
shalltown before, having given trick
bicycle exhibition some years ago.
F'then lost both his arms in rail-
way accident twenty-six years ago.
After he tired of trick bicycle riding he
bought an automobile, and has driven
it all over the country. His mileage

Minnesota and Wisconsin are the only
two states he has not been in. He In
tends entering Minnesota before the end
of the week. -
The car which Fithen drives. an
Oakland roadster, resembles an ordi-
nary machine in most ways. The steer
ing wheel Is constructed. with looS
holes in which F'ithen inserts his
stumps and turns the car in any way
he wishes. He shifts gears with his
foot, and works the emergency brake,
lights and horn the same way. The
car has four speeds, and Fithen changes
from one to another easily He carries
an extra wheel which he is able to re-
place instead of changing tire. He
writes with his teeth. Fithen came In
from Waterloo and left this morning
for ,Des Moines. His wife travels with
him.

Auto De1;nquents
Are Now Listed

A list of all automobiles in the conn-
ty on which the state license has not
haen Maid has been furnished County
ATTORNEY Ray p. Scott by the auditor
of the state. The list includes all cars
on which the license was not PAID May
1. The law makes it the duty OF the
county attorney to collect the state
license on these cars, for which ne Is
allowed 10 per cent of the amount OF
the tax so collected
The county attorney is preparing. as
soon as the present session OF the
grand jury is over, to serve notice on
the owners Of cars in the list that they
are delinquent and that heavy pen
alty for the delinquency has attached
to the license that was due Jan. l.
The law on the subject is that au-
tomobile licenses are due Jan. l. II
not paid by April 1 a penalty of 10 per
cent attaches and must be paid. If
not paid by May 1, a second penalty Of
per cent attaches. and an additional
per cent accrues the first or each
month until paid. After April l the
county attorney is supposed to collect
the tax and add to it 10 per cent for
his fee.
It is pointed out by the county at
torney that it is a difficult matter TO
run down the cars on which license
money is due for the reason that prac-
tically all of them have been taken out
of the county or are not being used
and are in storage in garages. A very
large part OF them, he says. have pass
ed into new owners hands since Jan.
/. either by being traded in for new
cars, and then either held by the gar
age owner for sale, or sold to some one
else, in many cases outside the county.

URGE USE OF DINNERS.
Marshall County Motor Club Asks
Motorists to Cooperate,


Motorists to Cooperate.
Complaints from many motorists
which have come to the Marshall
County Motor Club have led officers of
that organization to urge motorists
driving at night to use their DINNERS
as much as possible to make, it easier
for other autos which they pass. The
use Of DINNERS or side lights in town
renders driving much easier. as the
bright electric headlights now. in use
shed binding radiance and are apt
to confuse drivers.
In larger cities strict orders are
given to make motorists in town use
their DINNERS constantly, and the
motor club asks those driving along
the main streets in the evening to OBJ
serve this request as much as posi-
BILE. If DINNERS are not attached to
headlights, the club says that side
lights are equally satisfactory. q
A few considerate motorists use
their DINNERS while driving in the
country, but meet with few other cars
