GADSDEN HAS CENTER
 OF DRAMA LEAGUE
Mrs. B. F. Wilkerson of Birmingham m Center Makes Inspirational Talk
 to Newly Formed Organization

An enthusiastic center of the Drama League of America has been formed at Gadsden, and over 100 are enrolled as charter members. with every evidence that this number will be doubled by the first of the year.
 While few bulletined plays are given there, the Gadsden center expects to at- tend the plays at Birmingham bulletined by the Birmingham center. Their princi- pal activities will be amateur work, tend ing toward establishment of little thea tre, library groups, studying and discuss ing league plays, pageantry, junior and settlement work.
 The organization at Gadsden was com pleted Wednesday and the initial meet ing of this new center was held in the assembly room of the Carnegie library
 Mrs. E. F. Wilkerson, state represen- tative of the Drama League of America, through whom this new center was formed, gave an inspiratonal talk.
 Mrs. E. F. Whips is their president, and Miss Lena Martin, director of the library at Gadsden, is the secretary treasurer
 The work of the Drama league is spreading in the south and the energy fs emanating largely from the Birmingham center, which in it's second year is even outdoing the achievement of the first years remarkable work.
 A center has just been organized at New Orleans. Dr. Archibald Henderson of Chapel Hill, N. C., organized the New Orleans center. Dr. Henderson is well known as an author and dramatist hay ing written "The Changing Drama, 'Eu- ropean Dramatists' and 'The Life of Ber- nard Shaw"

MANDAMUS HEARING SET DECEMBER Il. Smith to Hear Petition At tacking Constitutionality
 of Commission Bill

Judge c. B. Smith set the hearing for the petition of mandamus filed by Attorney Horace c. Wilkinson, which seeks to force Probate Judge J. P Stiles to receive and check a pe- tition calling for an election on change of municipal government fof December 16, yesterday morning. This date has already been agreed on by both MT. Wilkinson and City Attorney Monte Ullman.
 The Wilkinson petition contains up- ward of 45O0 names of qualified voters and it is presented to the court un- der the provisions of the Laferty bill which provides means for an election on a change of municipal government on cities governed by a commission which desires return to the alder manic system.
 The only flaw against the success of the Wilkinson petition, according to local attorneys, is that fact that in the last four lines of the Laferty bill, it is stated that the statute does not affect cities of over 35,O00 In popula- tion.
 The Laferty bill has already been declared constitutional by the su- preme court. to which it was carried some months ago on appeal by the city of Huntsville. Under its provi- sions Huntsville. Sylacauga and Tal- ladega have changed from the com mission form of municipal govern ment in the past few months.

HIGH PRICES ARE
 OFFERED FOR COKE
Old Battery of Beehive Ovens at Brad ford Has Been Put Back in
 Commission

During the past month Birmingham producers of coke have been offered vast tonnages from the western smelt- ing interests, but have been forced to spurn the offers made at high fig ures. High grade foundry coke is be- ing sold at $8 ton and is very scarce. Two of the furnace companies have sought to book tonnages of coke for their own use in this district.
 The Imperial Coal and Coke com pany has accepted an order from Mex ican smelting interests for a large tonnage of coke. In order to supply this order it has been forced to put into operation an old battery of bee hive ovens at Bradford These ovens have been out of commission for sew era years and are 103 in number, with a capacity approximating 4000 tons a month.
 The ovens are located on the Louis ville and Nashville railroad few miles beyond Mount Pinson.
 The possibility of other companies opening up old ovens in this district is controlled by the coal supply and it is pronouncedly difficult to get coal at reasonable prices on account of the existence of contracts.
 The city ordinance would prevent the opening of the beehive ovens of the Sloss-S Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany on First avenue.

OVERTON PLACED
 IN COUNTY JAIL
Prisoner Transferred to Jeff fersOn County Jail by
 Order of Judge

David D. Overton, a former circuit court clerk of Madison county, who was recently convicted of the murder of Pro- bate Judge William T. Lawler last June, and who received the death penalty at his trial in Huntsville, few weeks ago, was placed in the county jail yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Alex Dyas of Madison county. Overton appeared to be i'll as he entered the county jail and was stoop shouldered and bundled in a big overcoat.
 Overton was transferred from Hunts vile on the order of Judge B. M. Miller, and he will remain in Birmingham until his appeal Is decided by the supreme court, which is not expected until next March.
 oNerton, in charge of. Deputy Dyas, left Huntsville yesterday morning on the 1O:1S train and arrived in Birmingham at $50 o'clock in the afternoon without mishap
 At the county Jail 1t was stated that everything would be done to make Over ton comfortable during his stay in Bir- mingham.
 The removal of Overton from Huntsville to Birmingham will make it convenient for frequent conferences between the con- victed man and his attorney Judge B. M Allen, and 1t is also expected that Mrs. Overton, her son and daughter will re- move to Birmingham within the next few days.

SLIGHT DISPARITY . IN IRON QUOTATIONS Republic Company Again in Market With Limited Ton
 mage Going at $22

There is a disparity in the minimum ducers for delivery during the last half of 1917. The Sheffield Steel and Iron company has announced SPA as the minimum for delivery, while the Repub- lie Iron and Steel company is selling at s22 for ton of No. ? foundry iron.
 The Republic company re-entered the iron market this week after withdraw ing from selling for nearly three weeks It has a limited tonnage to offer.
 The vast output of the Tennes-
 see Coal, Iron and Railroad com
 pany for the entire year of 1917 is
 virtually sold. The Tennessee com
 pany is taking care of it's custom-
 CTS for 1917, but has very little
 iron to sell. As the iron market is
 very strong, the running Of all
 furnaces, at capacity output. seems
 to be guaranteed for more than
 year.
 There are two companies that are still out of the market. The Alabama company, on both it's igh-grade Clif- ton iron and the other brand, is not soliciting business, and has been With drawn from selling for over month.
 The Woodward Iron company is in the same situation. While both companies are taking care of the regular custom CTS, they are generally regarded as De- ing "out of the market"
 While it seems to be the policy of the majority of the companies to re- fuse offers that will tie up the entire output for tae year of 1917, the ma jority have sold soldily for the first half and are we'll booked for the last period. No orders for 1918 have been taken, lit is reliably reported, inasmuch as the 1 iron companies do not desire to accept l tonnage so far in advance.

.ENSLEY MAN WANTS
 SPECIAL MEETING
Joseph A. Logan Says He Was Mistreated in Com
 missioner Barber's Office

Joseph A. Logan, an Ensley citizen, wants to know if this is a free coun- try. He likewise wants to know if a czar happens to be ruling the destinies of the people of Greater Birmingham. MT. Logan stated yesterday afternoon that he proposed to find out all these questions this morning at 11:30 o'clock, when a meeting of the board of commis- sioners will be called for the purpose of finding out the trouble between Mir. Lo- gan and the commissioner of public safety.
 MT. Logan rushed into the office of Commissioner Ward yesterday afternoon and asked his secretary where the pres ident of the commission was Upon being told that he was out. MT. Logan grabbed the telephone and called up MT. Weatherly at his home.
 Listen here, MT. Weatherly, am James Logan of Ensley. I have been in- suited by Arlie Barber and his clerk, Tharpe. I have been asked out of his and taxpayer"
 MT Weatherly evidently tried to soothe the ruffled feelings of the citizen. MT. Logan paused a minute and burst forth once more:
 ''IIe might be a commissioner, but I am here to say he isn't ezar. want to take up the matter I went to see MT. Barber about with the entire commission. I want to take it up in a meeting. Tell me Mir Weaherly. is this a free coun- try9"
 There was more barley on the line, MT. Wcatherly doing the talking.
 Perspiring, his clothes damp from the rain, his hair tousled and his face red. the Ensley citizen entered the office of Secretary Lloyd and announced that a meeting was to be held this morning.
 It seems that MT. Logan was trying to intercede for a friend who had fallen afcui of the law and had spent the en- tire day trying to get the friends fine reduced. He had an appointment with the police commissioner at o'clock, &C., cording to his statement, and was in- formed by MT. Tharpe that he could not see the commissioner in question. He waited in line until his turn came and when he tried to argue the commissioner told him he would have to get out.
