Bell Praises City

w. T. Bell of New York, who for many years was a resident of Anniston, was in Birmingham on business yesterday. MT. Bell is one of the best known young men in the state, being the son of Col. A. w. Bell of Anniston and having lived in that city until a few years ago He is an alumnus of Howard college, and for the past several years has been engaged in the cotton manufacturing business in Greenvile, S. c. Recently, MT. Bell be- came member of the firm of one of the leading cotton goods dealers in New York. He is in Alabama on business for his firm, and is visiting a number of the large cotton goods manufacturers in the state.
 "A person in Alabama never really ap- preciates what fine city Birmingham is until after he has been away few years There are many prosperous and attrac- tive cities in this country but Birming- ham, taken by and large, is very hard to beat. Every time I come back here, I am amazed at the wonderful changes and developments which have taken place since my last visit.''

LAW ADVOCATED BY
 WALLACE IS BEATEN
Appeal In Behalf of Rabbit Shooters Proves Too Much for Members
 of Mississippi Legislature

Jackson, Miss, February 9.-(Special) For two days the game and fish bill had occupied the attention of the house and before adjournment of the morning ses- sion MT. Spears, it's sponsor, did not recognize it at the last, so sadly had it been mutilated by amendment. The bill was prepared by John H. Wallace, Jr., state game and fish commissioner of Ala bama. who spoke to the Mississippi legis- lature last week urging its adoption.
 MT. Mann of Tishomingo, sounded the death note of the bill in an appeal for the rabbit shooters in Mississippi that touched the right chord to set boyhood memories to vibrating in the legislative mind He said that the county of Tisho- mingo contains every kind of animal from moles to wolves; that he was raised by farmer and that his only liberty and pleasure when a boy, was to go rabbit hunting oposSum hunting, when his work was done Now he has IS grand children and he made plea of grear natural eloquepce that they be permitted liberty to roam the hills and valleys of Tishomingo in search of game without having to pay $2 each for state license or to violate some law.
 Just before the Tishomingo statesman gave the bill the final stroke that put it to death, MT Steagall of Pontotoc, him. self an orator of the old school had ob tained the adoption of an amendment stopping all kinds of hunting for two years. except that the amendment per mitted the killing of migratory ducks and geese, snakes, opossum and rabbits. In an mpassioned appeal for the passage of the Spears bill, MT, Steagal declared that hunters are the greatest curse of the country worse than the boil weevil, that they burn fences, chop down trees and kill birds that were created to destroy insects.
 The friends of the bill lost all interest in it when MT Kyle and MT. Davis suc- ceeded in so amending it that
 only go into effect in any county by an order of the board of supervisors of that county.
 An effort by MT. Rhodes to obtain the adoption of a substitute measure was ruled out of order by Speaker Conner on the ground that it sought to change the entire purpose of the purposed act.

PROMINENT ELKS
 WILL TAKE PART
 IN ENTERTAINMENT
Minstrel Entertainment to Be Given By Local Elks For Benefit of the
 Reunion

The Elks of Birmingham and Ensley are working zealousy on the minstrel which is to be given at the Jefferson theatre February 29 and 24 and one of the most interesting performances ever given in the city is assured The best talent among the entertainers in the city is at the disposal of those who have the arrangements in hand, and it is reported that some of the local hits will be both novel and highly humorous
 A number of the most prominent mem bers of the Birmingham lodge will take part in the minstrel, among them being Past Exalted Rulers John E. Shelby, Charles Frickhoeffer pr. John w. Per kins, Senator John s. Leedy, Hugh Hill, w. T. Palmer and Vic Johnson. Other prominent men who will be in the cast are City Commissioners George Ward and James Weatherly and a number of others.
 The members of the lodge and those who have charge of the programme have not made known the secrets concerning the entertainment, but they assure every one that there will be a performance which will far surpass the expectations of everyone. It is rumored that some of the local hits will be of a highly in- teresting as well as amusing nature, and the best amateur entertainment in the history of Birmingham is predicted by some who have seen the rehearsals.
 Capt. E. J, McCrossin, who is chair man of the general committee. is in charge of the organization and the de- tails of the entertainment and his work is adding to the probable success of the affair Dr. John W. Perkins is in charge of the ticket selling committee and from present indications he will have to call off the members of his committee some time before the minstrel or else have arrangements made for standing room at each performance. The proceeds of the minstrel are to be divided between the civil war veterans and the charity fund of the E,lks.

ORDINANCE WILL
 BE SUBMITTED First Draft of Plumbing Or dinance to Be Presented
 Next Tuesday

Next Tuesday the commissioners will have the first draft oh the plumbers ordinance to consider as a matter of importance.
 II will be rememb bered that for the past year or more the plumbers and the city officials have been at diff ferences and until a few months ago matters were in a state of chaos. When the new license schedule was formu- lated it was decided to license plumb CTS by the number of men employed in all shops which brought forth wig orous protest and all the plumbers in the city to the city hall. The licensing of the plumbers was then held in abey- ance for time until City Engineer KendriclS could report his complete or dinance which would cover even the license features and still satisfy all concerned.
 nhs ordinance is now practically completed and is being drafted in legal form by City Attorney M. M. Ullman, who will submit it to the city commits sioncrs toward the latter part of the week for further suggestions. It will come up for vote on next Tuesday unless the plumbers again make pro- test against some of it's provisions. However, the new municipal plumb CTS ordinance is expected to pass with out trouble as it is compromised measure effected between the contend ing plumbers and the city represented by City Engineer Julian Kendrick.

LETTER NOT DENIED

Richmond, Va. February 9.-Royal E. Cabell said tonight that so far as he knew there was not one word of truth in the statements in the letter alleged to have been written by $. Brown Allen. He declared that Frank H. Hitchcock has just told him over the long distance tele- phone that the whole story was fabri- cation.
 Tt is true,' added MT. Cabell, that |, in common with thousands of republi- cans in Virginia, would like to see Jus tice Hughes, or man of his type, nomi- mated for President, but any fight that I am making will be entirely within the party organization, and will not be car ried to the point of endangering party harmony.
 T have talked over the long distance telephone with MT Allen in Staunton v MT. Cabe1l added. "and he authorizes me to say that any statements he might have made in his letter relative to General Hitchcock were unauthorized and made on his own responsibility during the prog ress of bitter factional campaign now waging in his district

LITTLE INTEREST IN
 CONGRESSIONAL RACE

Very little interest is being taken by the people in the Fourth district in the congressional fight between Con- gressman Blackmon and H. M. Judge of Shelby county said J. P. Doherty of Selma, sheriff of Dallas county, who was in Birmingham yesterday. MT. Black mon continues In Washington. indicating that the reports that he is receiving show tFat he has nothing at this time to fear
 When MT. Judge first announced, he started out with something of flourish and it seemed that he might be able to wage a close fight for election. How ever, he has been unable to place Con gressman Blackmon on the defensive and his campaign in most of the counties has not stirred up any great support. The opinion in the Fourth district now seems to be that the present congressman need notleave Washington to win the race"
