LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
Showing Wherein the Magic City Points the Way for the Big
 in One Respect at Least

New York, March 23-(Special.) )-If mem ory runneth not contrariwise, then is it certain that Birmingham is ahead of Gotham in one respect, which, were New York to catch up, would save much time and talk for the big town, and if there is anything, apparently, held in greater valuation here than time, one has yet to learn of it. Reference is made herein te telephone girls.
 Even several years ago, in Birmingham, it was the general custom when one plcked up telephone receiver after hav- ing heard the tinkle of the bell, to say: Chamber of Commerce-Radcliffe speak ing" Or, if another number was answer ing, one would hear: City hall," and then needed to ask only for the party or department wanted
 There is no possible argument against such procedure, and with all it's boast ed advancement along practically every line, it seems odd to put it in it's mildest form that New York city does nothing of the sort. No, sir. unless in the ex- ceptional case that proves the rule here.
 Call up any number, any concern, or Institution, and the best you get, first off is, Hello" That almost absurd reply of course, necessitates question as t. whether you have the number you wanteJ and often a minute or more is lost in go- ing through a bunch of quick questions which could have been avoided altogether had the party called immediately an- swered, "J P. Morgan & Co., or Cafe Beaux Arts
 But that is not all. After you have discovered that you have the number wanted, comes the query, Well who is this?' Now, just think of that for one 1ninute-time' up-you see how foolish 1t is? You have just been told who it is, or what it is, and then to be asked Who is this?' just as if the party want ed you to repeat the name given you two minutes before.

Ren,oUing the Cause
 of Much Sickness

The advantage in taking Foley Cathartic Tablets is that in addition to carrying on the entire congested mass without griping or nausea, they thoroughly cleanse the walls of the tntestines and keep them free of all clogging matter
 It is this caking on the walls of the intestines that prevents their nat ural action and function. and is tho direct cause of 30 much of the sick ness and misery that makes consti- patton the curse of our present day. For 1t is constipation that is respon- sible for large share of headaches, depressed feelings. and many other serious bodily ills.
 w. A. McRae, an elderly gentleman living at Raleigh, Ga, writes: "Foley Cathartic Tablets are the only ones l have ever taken that cleanse my system thoroughly and do not gripe or hurt me at all. They are entirely satisfactory and wonderfully differ- ent and more pleasant than anything ] have ever used."

CAPTAIN CHENEY IS ACQUITTED JURY
 0F ENTERTAINMENT
Former State Official Is Cleared After Trial Last ing 8 Days-Only Short
 DeliberatiOn by Jury

Montgomery, March 23.-(Special.) Capt John c. Cheney, former chief clerk of the department of agriculture
 and industries, was today acquitted by a Montgomery county jury of the charge of embedding state funds. The trial of Captain Cheney continued eight days
 1 The verdict of not guilty was reached by the jury shortly after 10 o'clock last night, but Judge A. H. Alston had dismissed court for the night and no report could be made until court con- vened at o'clock this morning. Captain Cheney was overcome vixen he heard the jury's report. Tears welled in his eyes ana in faltering, though sincere, language he thanked the court and the jury. He shook hands with Judge Alstor and with the jurors, and from all sides he heard congratula- tions at the happy termination of his trial. The verdict of the jury was popular one.
 Captain Cheney had been under a se- were strain for eight days. The trial, which at first promised to be brief, gradually heightened out. Witnesses were reCdlleu, TepOrtS were ISdu anu explained, and several days were con- sumed with testimony of a technical nature.
 The specific charge against Captain Cheney was conversion and embez,le-
 ment of state funds. This charge was founded on a report made for the leg islative Investigating committee by Ex-
 aminer of Public Accounts J. Fl. Craig.
 The report first charged shortage of
 something like $200O, but later num- bel of corrections were made. The trial of Captain Cheney began imm mediately after the trial of Lee Cowart, former commissioner of immi-
 gration who was convicted of the con- version of $50 of state funds and sen- fenced to serve two years in the peni- tentiary. The charge against MT. Cowart also was based on report made by Examiner Craig

TWO NEGATIVE VOTES

The two negative votes were cast by Representatives Britten, republican of Illinois, and London, socialist of New York.
 MT. Britten opposed the bill because
 he favored still further increase in the army and MT. London because he favored no increase.
 The bill is the first of the great na- tional preparedness measures urged by President Wilson to pass either House, although various related measures have been approved. It was finally adopted
 only after Representative Kahn, rank ing republican member of the commit tee, had again met defeat, this time 213
 to 191, in his effort to increase the authorized strength of the regulars to
 220,O00.
 During the debate. Chairman Hay of
 the committee which drew the bill. re- ferred to it as "the Presidents own
 bill." It was explained at the White
 House, however, that while the Pres
 ident approved the ground plan of the
 measure, he was not committed to it's details. The conference on the Senate
 and House plans, to come after the
 Senate acts, is expected by adminis-
 tration officials to produce bill which
 will have the Presidents full support. The measure went to the Senate to- night and the way has been cleared for consideration of it to begin there next Monday. i. FEDERALIZED GUARD
 Besides providing for 140,000 enlisted
 men as the peace strength of the stand ing army, exclusive of officers, hos pital and quartermaster corps and un- assigned recruits the bill as passed by the House provides for the building up of force of 425.00O federalized na- tional guardsmen within five years. It also contains an authorization for sum- mer training camps, from which third force of federal volunteers is expected to grow and provides that national guardsmen who will receive the bene- fits of the militia pay feature of the bill shall be subject to immediate draft into the federal service in war time. During the process of amendment in the House the bill was brought ap- preciably closer to the measure pro- posed by the Senate committee in sev- eral respects. Important among these was the insertion of the Senate bills provisions as to the regular army en- 1 listments which are expected to rapidly produce the desired reservistS On thiJ section Chairman Hay of the military committee, the bil1's sponsor, was de- feated. The only other important amendment, carried by vote of PA | to 1S0 despite his opposition, was that striking out the entire section which proposed to have the government em- bark into a nitrogen manufacture proj- ect which aroused opposition on the ground that it involved immense ex- | penditures in conjunction with private | enterprise
