.MYR|CK ID SPEAK ON
 ARM BANK SYSTEM
Noted Publisher Is Authori- ty on Rural Credits and
 FavOrs Birmingham

Herbert Myrick of Springfield. Mass, farm publications, yesterday wired w. Blanks Everett, acting general man. ager of the Chamber of Commerce, ac- cepting the invitation of that organ ization to speak here Friday after noon, July 2S. at o'clock. MT. Myrick will discuss the federal farm bank sys- tenn and its meaning to the south. In- cidentally he will outline to the people of Birmingham the best way to locate for in the farm loan bill signed this week. MT. Myrick, through his chain of agricultural papers, has already in dorsed the claims of Birmingham and is actively supporting the efforts of this city.
 He is making a tour of the larger cities throughout the country and Is speaking on the farm bank system. In an address delivered before the civic Myrick declared that the new system was of epochal importance to the f1nan- cial and economic affairs of the south. He has been active in waging a cam paign for rural credits for a number of years and was invited by President Wilson to be present when the measure was signed. One of the two gold pens used in placing the executive signature on the measure was presented by the President to MT. Myrick in recogni- tion of his services The other was given to Senator Fletcher of Florida. presi- dent of the Southern Commercial Con- gress.
 Acting General Manager Everett an- nounced yesterday that at the same time MT. Myrick speaks there will also be delivered an address on the Muscle Shoals development by either Col. A. M. Shook or Mai. E. B. Stahlman of Nashville. It is understood that both of them will be present at the meet ing and one will make an address. It was thought that the joint meeting in the interest of securing federal farm loan bank for Birmingham and in aiding in the campaign for the loca- tion of the $20,000,0 government nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals would serve to bring together a large crowd of the leading men of the city and dis trict and that active fights in behalf of both propositions could be launched successfully

EIGHT NEW CASES
 OF TYPHOID FEVER
 YESTERDAYS TOTAL
Many Persons Take Vaccine Treatment at City Hall. Commissioner HOrnady
 Issues Statement

Only eight cases of typhoid were re- ported yesterday at the health depart ment, making the number of typhoid cases reported thus far in the month of July 33O, which is regarded as dan gerously high by the local authorities
 One of the features of the medical ac. tivities yesterday was the large numb CT of persons who applied for the free vac- cine. It was estimated that about 200. persons were vaccinated for the first second and third times, yesterday.
 Commissioner John R. Hornady said last night:
 About 20O0 persons in all were vacci- hated today I hope about 5000 will be vaccinated tomorrow. That is the only method that will thoroughly drive out typhoid and make everyone immune to it Be vaccinated. Do not hesitate. Go to your doctor or come to us"
 In line with the policy of educating the public on health matters, Dr. l.. l.. Lumsden. the United States typhoid ex- pert, will address two meetings today This afternoon at o'clock he will speak before the Women's Civic Board and to- nlgnt at CLOCK ne Will make an du- dress before the Chamber of Commerce.
 HORNADY'S STATEMENT
 Following is the "communique" issued by Commissioner Hornady yesterday:
 The unprecedented rains of the past few weeks have created condition high ly favorable to the spread of disease and inasmuch as the correction of these unfavorable conditions requires consid- erabe time, it becomes more than ever necessary for the general public to adopt every precautionary measure that is 1T the power of the individual to adopt
 '"The rainfall since July l has been 181. inches, which means that this city has received more than four months rain 1T less than three weeks, the normal rainfall for the year being 51 inches. This ex- traordinary rainfall has taxed the sewers far beyond their capacity and in numerous sections of the city the contents of these sewers has been forced out through the manholes and scattered over wide area s In numerous instances these areas are under water and it is impossible to clear up the ground and bring about sanitary conditions. This very necessary work cannot be done until the waters have re- ceded, and in the meantime quantities ot sewage are exposed. While this condi. ton lasts the only positive protection for the people is to avoid the use of any food that may have been exposed to flies to drink no water from wells or springs and be vaccinated."

CITY TAKES APPEAL
 IN MCDONALD CASE

Seeking relief from the supreme court, an appeal was filed yesterday by City Attorney M. M. Ullman from the decision of Judge H. A. Sharpe in the Mcdonald injunction case enjoining the city from using the special fve-mill tax to pay s246,0OO interest on. the bond issue recently voted in Birmingham.
 Temporarily checked by the victory of Mcdonald in the decision of the injunc- tion proceedings, the city will make a hard fight for decision in favor of using the five-mill tax to pay the interest on the bonds for Birmingham financial re- lief, in the supreme court.

 Before the Commissioners

Two meetings of particular interest are scheduled before the city commissioners this morning and afternoon.
 This morning the city commission will hold a conference with President J. s. Pevear, of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, to discuss various matters over which differences of opinion now exist between the public utility corporation and the municipal gov- ernment.
 In the afternoon the property owners on Clairmont avenue and the adjacent territory are coming to the city hall in their 'war-paint' in order to impress upon the city commissioners that they must not persist in their attempts to pave the streets a.sd avenues in that local ity and charge the cost to abutting prop crty owners

The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-20
MORNING CONFERENCE

The morning conference will be execu- tive, but it can be stated that the fol- lowing subjects will be discussed pro and con:
 The controversy regarding steam heat ing.
 The paving of Thirty fourth street in Wy!am.
 The installation of tungsten lights.
 The surrender of the franchise on Clair mont avenue.
 Certain petitions for street lights
 Questions regarding the refund of s75OO for overcharges in light bills
 After the city commissioners have thor oushly threshed out the differences of opinion that will grow out of the discus sion of the above subjects it is under stood they will be ready to meet the advance guard of the Clarmont avenue property owners who are due at the city hall at 3 o'clock this afternoon
 Regarding the s75O0 refund for light overcharges. the city commissioners re- call that at a previous conference some months ago President Pevear promised to send a check, but Comptroller Louis Levy stated at the commission meeting Tuesday morning that this incident has evidently escaped the memory of the head of the public service corporation. However, Commissioner Weatherly will endeavor to refresh the memory of Mir Pevear this morning with documents per- taining to the matter which will show that under "a previous agreement with A. H. Ford, a former president of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. the city is entitled to the re- fund of about s7500 in the electric light bills of the Central High school building
 In the afternoon session the main uues- tion will be Ito pave or not to pave" PROPERTY OWNERS TO APPEAR
 Various property owners will appear who will insist that they want Clairmont avenue and adjacent streets improved and paved. Others quite strong numerically will appear and denounce the paving of such streets nothing short of grand larceny.
 The commissioners as whole are fav- orably inclined to pave all the streets and avenues in the Clairmont avenue dis trict as they regard the matter as a good improvement for the city as the cost is divided pro rata amongst the abutting property owners.
 As to the surrender of the franchise of the Mountain Terrace car line the city commission is rather indifferent of the matter Commissioner George B. Ward said:
 T am surprised they kept that line running at a loss for so long a time It $ their affair if they want to stop now'
 Other commissioners merely smiled when questioned on the matter.

ACTION BY SUPREME COURT

Believing that the supreme court would interfere by writ of injunction, thus permitting the sheriff, his deputies and other officers of the law to perform their duty in enforcing the law, I. there fore, went to Montgomery and put the matter before Attorney General William l.. Martin After going over the autnor- ties with him. he decided to pursue the course indicated. The petition was pre- pared, filed and in the absence of Chief Justice John c. Anderson, was presented to Justice Mcclellan for a proper order. Whereupon, after consideration he made and signed the order published in The Age-Herald this morning"
 The question of getting rid of the bev- craze now on hand has been discussed somewhat on the streets, and whether or not it was a violation of the law to ship it out of the state. According to authorities 1t is no violation for railroad to ship the beverage out of the state, but the matter of having a quantity of the beverage in possession is phase that cannot be so easily handled. and it is subject to seizure when found
 While no arrests have been made for the selling of the drink during the life of the injunction. it was stated at the sheriffs office yesterday afternoon that

FACILITY FOR SUBTERFUGE

.'Furthermore, the sale of such bever- ages is objectionable because of the facil- ity it affords for subterfuge and evasion. If such a beverage could be sold it would be very easy to include alcohol and in- toxicating beer in similar bottle and these might be sold under the plea that it was 'Ambrosa,' and the real character Of the drink could not be ascertained without a chemical analysis, which is not practical. Hence the courts hold that such drink may be prohibited by law. though neither alcoholic nor intoxicating.
 This was decided by the supreme court of the United States in an opinion by Justice Hughes, in the case of the Purity Extract and Tonic company vs. Lynch 226 United States 1e2, in which it was said:
 That the opinion is exclusively held that general prohibition of the sale of malt liquors, whether intoxicating or not, is a necessary means of the suppression of trade in intoxicants sufficiently ap- pears from the disposition of other states and the decisions of the courts in it's con- struction. We cannot say that there Is no basis for this widespread conviction
 Persons interested in the enforcement of the prohibition law advised with me as to the injunction granted by the three city court judges against Sheriff Batson and his deputies. After examining au- thorities I gave the opinion that the three judges had no authority to issue an in junction of that character because it has been said by the supreme court several times It is evident that a court of equity cannot interfere to arrest Ge- strain) the authorities charged with the execution of the criminal laws I form ed the opinion from many authorities that the injunction was void, and that all persons might disregard it with out subjecting themselves to contempt of

and that Ambrosa' possesses the same taste, same color, same odor and appear ance of beer and, therefore, is a device and a substitute therefor and hence within the plain terms of the statute.
