ETTELSON WTHDRAWS FROM
FENDER SUIT -..

With his strongest prop, the cor
poration counsel, kicked from under
him, Chief Of Police c. C. Healey
stands well to lose his fight against
enforcement of the fender law.
Corporation Counsel Ettleson to-
day withdrew activity from the case
which had been started against
Healey by a fender company to force
him to put the safety law into opera
ton.
In doing so, however, Ettleson took
it upon himself to explain fully the
reasons Healey gave for not putting
the law into effect,
Today's action in the fender case
means that the corporation counsePs
Office will not defend the chief of po-
lice when he refuses to obey law
passed by the aldermen.
The withdrawal comes only after
the city council almost unanimously
passed an order instructing Ettelson
to stay out of the case. The alder
men do not want to see lawyer paid
by the city help the chief of police
when a court must be appealed to to
make the police head even try out
law of the city.
Although the document filed today
before Judge Walker in the circuit
court is simply withdrawal of the
corportion counsel from the case, Et-
telson takes the opportunity of tell
ing why Chief Healey doesn't en-
force the fender law.
Healey, it says, wants to see fend-
ers on auto trucks. But he thinks
that because the law is not clear in
his mind as referring only to auto
trucks, he should not cause owners
of auto trucks pain by trying to en-
force it.

Plan Will Be Outlined At Meeting of Chamber Directors Toor row-Atlanta Not Working In Interest of Evansville, Ind.-Much Information Has Already
 Been Received

Plans for the further prosecution Of Birmingh hams fight for the $11, 100000 gov ernment armor plate plant will be out Chamber of Commerce, which has been called by President Bush for tomorrow at 12:30 o'clock at the Tutwiler.
 Preliminary data showing the claims which Birmingham had for the location of the plant here or in this district have already been forwarded to Secretary of the Navy Daniels by President Bush.
 The information contained in the docu- ments sent to the Secretary was com piled sometime ago by the special com mittee of the chamber, of which MT. Bush was the chairman. At the same time President Bush informed the head of the navy department that Birmingham was prepared to present much more eXhaus- tive informa ton when the time came, and that the claims of this city would be prosecuted vigorously in the belief that Birmingham was the most suita ble location the government could secure.
 The directors, at the meeting tomor- row, will discuss in detail the report which has already been submitted and suggestions will be made for the further efforts in behalf of Birmingham.
 It has been learned officially and au- thentically that the report published some time ago to the effect that Atlanta was supporting Evansville as the site for the armor plate plant in preference to Bir- mingham was erroneous. W. c. Rao- cliffe. general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, has received information from R. T. Bonham, secretary or the

 V. H. Kreigshorfer, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, has also written MT. Radcliffe denying the report.

COAL OPERATORS ELECT OFF|CERSAT
 ANNUAL MEETING
q. B. Mccormack Is Elected President-WOrk of Safe ty and First Aid Especi-
 ally Commended

An optimistic outline of the future for the Alabama coal operators was drawn at the annual meeting of the associa- ton held at the Tutwiler at noon yester- day. While there was no talk of boom in the coal business, steady growth, in- creased markets and new developments were recorded on every hand
 G. B. Mccormack was elected president of the association for the coming year Charles F. DeBardeleben, vice president; James l.. Davidson, secretary-treasurer. and the following were chosen as mem- bers of the executive committee: F. H. Crockard, chairman; A. H. WoodWard, J. E. McClary, Joseph R. Smith, Jr., and W alter Moore. The meeting was largely attended and the success of the assocla- tion during the past year was the subject of universal approval on the part of all the members.
 The work for safety and first aid by the association was expressly commended, as this work has saved the workmen em- ployed by the membership of the associa- ton from many accidents and injuries
 Improvement in the working and liv- ing COnQltlOnS TOT the eIlploytS oi liS memb CTS has continued in spite of the adverse condition of the coal market.
 Matters particularly touched upon were the cordial relations winch exist between miners and operators, the peaceful and helpful continuity and the mutual aiding spirit existing between them.
 Official reports made to the membership by the executive officers were most en- courag ging and there was no pessimistic alarm sounded along any line. Progress. development and the onward march were in evidence and a most hopeful picture was drawn by the speakers present. There was no boom sentiment, but the whole idea was steady growth. New developments, increased markets and maifest good will along all lines.
 Alabama coal being put on the favor able fuel list of the United States navy and resultant contracts with the govern ment favorable freight rates to the Mis- siss!ppi valley territory were cited in sup. port of this optimistic feeling with re- spect to the future.
 The Alabama Coal Operators associa ton is now in it's eighth year. and it's work has proven a most important factor in the progress and development of this district-in keeping in full accord the employers and the employees.

JASPER ID TRY FOR SMALL INDUSTRIES Capt. Cranford Says Cheap Power Will Help Get
 Small Plants

Just because the Jasper Water, Light and Power company, of which I am president has been sold to the Alabama Power company, don't get the idea that I am going to retire from business" said Capt. J. H. Cranford of Jasper, who was at the Morris yesterday "I am just getting things in shape to do some real big and important business I am mak- ing my plans to go out after large number of small diversified industries for Jasper, and we are going to get them, too.
 While the sale of our water and light plants to the Alabama Power company was of no advantage 10 me. the price paid being only in proportion to the re- turns we were making from the opera tion of the utilities, this deal is going to be big thing for Jasper. Our city is splendidly situated for small indus tries and we have many advantages for certain small plants Living conditions are ideal, rents and other expenses are more reasonable than in other cities. and We have many other advantages to offer small plants. With the addition of very cheap power, which we will be in position to offer when the Alabama Power com pany takes over our system, you are go- ing to see Jasper forge ahead very rap idly.
 The rates for small consumers of cleo tricity in Jasper were already about 10 per cent cheaper than the average in this section, so there will not be any material change in the price for current But for manufacturing plants and indus tries we will be able to offer them a price that will be very tempting. Aside from the saving in current, there are many men with small capital who can start into business if they do not have to tie up so much of their money in boilers, engines and motive power. With our cheap current for manufacturing purposes we will be able to encourage them to locate in Jasper It Is in this way that Jasper is to reap the principal benefits from the entrance of the Ala bama Power company into our town and district
 Captain Cranford stated that the details of the sale had all been agreed upon and that only the consent of the city council of Jasper and the Alabama pub lie service commission were necessary to complete the transaction. That this con- sent would be secured he was positive.
 Mir. Cranford built the waterworks sys- tenn in Jasper about b years ago and added the light plant sometime after that. He has been the president of the con- pany since it was organized. MT. Cran- ford IS also president of the First Ma tional bank of Jasper and has other laSse business interests there.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-07

queried as to whether he thought it was a friendly suit said
 You may rest assured that there is nothing friendly about this suit. MT. Mcdonald represents an clement that fears that all bond issues will eventually extract money from their pockets ana acting on this noble and unselfish senti- ment the suit of injunction filed in the courts against the issuance of the $3,00C- 900 in bonds is fitting memorial of the civic patriotism of the complainant However to get down to brass tacks the city commission will fight this injunction to the last vestige of it's legal power. That is all have to say for the pres- ent.''
 Commissioner Arlie Barber simply stated
 This opposition was expected. It sim. ply Illustrates to what point selfish in- terests will go to defeat the will of the majority. The people have voted on these bond issues and by substantial majori- ties have acknowledged that they are willing to bear the financial burdens placed on them by the sale of these bonds But the vested interests have ruled otherwise, and Tom Mcdonald files his complaint. However, we will fight this for the next 20 years if necessary"
 REGARDS IT TRIVIAL
  ed the whole affair in a jocular manner and hinted that a desire fors notoriety other than the selfish designs con tained in the bill of injunction inspired the complaints:
 T see the complaint alleges technical errors in the verbiage of the manner in which the ballots were printed" said Commissioner Hornady, and so I will follow suit and complain about the tragic error of having my initials wrong in the captions of the injunc- tion bills. I am quite certain there is as much equity in throwing out the complaints of MT. Mcdonald on the grounds that he or his attorneys made an error in my initials as there is in the contention that the city should be enjoined because it is alleged the word ing on the ballots was not technically correct I look on the entire affair as trivel. and an attempt at seeking the limelight apart from the singular ly selfish attitude revealed in the com p1aint"
