LEAVE TO ARGUE
 STATUS OF COURT
Supreme Body Must Decide Whether Criminal Court Is Part of New
 Consolidated Court

Sydney J Bowie, John London ana Walter S. Brewer are going to Montgom- cry this afternoon to prepare for the presentation of their arguments before the supreme court tomorrow on the status of the criminal court of Jeffer- son county.
 They are the legal representatives or S. H. Gore, son-in-law of w. B. Cope land, clerk of the criminal court. who was granted an injunction about 10 days ago by Chancellor Benners. restraining the board of revenue from paying $50 to the Commercial Printing company TOT stationery that was to be used in the transfer of cases from the criminal dock cts to the dockets of the new consolidated circuit court.
 The granting of the injunction by Chan cellor Benners, if sustained by the su- preme court, means the divorce of the criminal court from the consolidated court bill If Chancellor Benners is re- versed the criminal court is consolidated and w. B. Copeland, clerk of the crimi- nal court, is busted from office, although he has two more years to serve on his elected term. M
 It was stated yesterday that W. s. Terry, attorney for the board of revenue. will make the principal argument in fa- bor of the consolidated court act before the supreme court tomorrow.

CHRISTMAS RATES WILL BEGIN TODAY
 ON THE RAILROADS
Holiday Travel So Far Slightly Less Than Normal, But Is Expected to Gain Heavily Dur
 ing the Week

Christmas rates on all the railroads operating in Birmingham go into eff feet this morning.
 Evidence of this fact was bounti- full yesterday in many of the city ticket offices. In one office the city ticket agent stated that 75 tickets had been purchased in anticipation of the day. But all of the offices were flood ed with inquiries over the telephone.
 As yet the traffic has not been ex- ceedingly heavy. In truth, the holi- day travel has been slightly less than normal, but it is predicted that the 1916 traffic will surpass that of last year by a substantial margin.
 The time limit of the Christmas rates expires on January 10. At the Terminal station it is reported that the vanguard of the. returning stu dents has passed through Birmingham From now until Christmas eve these youngsters seeking erudition will be much in evidence en route home.
