CHAMBER VOTES ON
 REVENUE MEASURE

Referendum "C' of the United States Chamber of Commerce proposing 50 per 9nt increase on 1rst-cass postage rate as war revenue measure, was voted down at the regular monthly meeting of the Chamb CT of Commerce, held last night at the Tutwiler The Chamber voted, however to increase the rate on second, hird and fourth-cla matter, on the grounds that first-class postal rate at the present time is a source of profit to the government, and the other classes were operated at a loss. It was the sense of the meeting last night that these classes should be made profitable before increas- ing the first-class rate.
 In the absence of President Charles DeBardeleben, the chair was occupied by Frank Rushton, vice president, and the meeting was well attended. Among the business transacted was the appointment of a special committee to wait on the board of revenue and urge the board to continue the appropriation for the Mercy Home.
 There was much discussion on the re- port of the special committee in regard to the referendum on the war revenue measure and the vote on the several ques- ions was close.
 A committee of 10 was appointed to look make report at the next meeting

FOR CHARITY WORK ARE
 CUT OUT BY BOARD
Mercy Home and Industrial School Among the Institutions Affected. Solicitor Black Holds Appro-
 priations Are Illegal

Acting under legal opinion of Solici- tor Hugo L.. Black, the board of revenue discontinued appropriations for various charitable institutions of the county yes- terday, which aggregate $750 monthly. Some of the most worthy institutions of the county are affected by the action of the board
 The action taken yesterday was the re- suit of the report of the grand jury for the April term, which criticized the board of revenue for it's appropriations to out without proper investigation.
 The board requested written opinion from Solicitor Black on the matter and in lengthy reply he cites the law gov erning charity appropriations by the board and stated they had no legal right to appropriate the money of the county for outside institutions
 The appropriations that were discon- tinued were as follows Mercy Home, $250; Birmingham Settlement association, $75; Alabama Industrial school, $100; Alabama Home of Refuge, S35; Orphans Home, 71a cents per day for each orphan, maximum amount, $1S0; Octavia White Home, $100; Salvation Army, s35.
 In the resolution discontinuing the ap- propriations the board set out the fact that the county solicitor, who is attorney for the board, held that the appropria- tions were illegal and under the eircum- stances the board had no alternative. Copies of the resolution and the opinion of Solicitor Black were sent to each of the institutions affected.

 IN JACKSONVILLE

Capt John L. Inglis died Sunday Jacksonville, Fla, at the ripe old age of 80 years, and was buried Monday after noon at Madison, Fla, in the old family cemetery.
 He was the father of Beattie A. Inglis of Birmingham, and w. L. Inglis of AL ton, E. A. Inglis of Jacksonville, Fla, A. W. Ingls of Dunellon, and Mrs M. A. Love of Quincy, Fla, all of whom were at his bedside at the time of his death. His wife died in Jacksonville just eight months ago.
 Captain Inglis was a native of Scotland. but came to this country as a young man and cast his lot with the develop ment of the state of Florida, .n which he was an important factor. He was the founder of the rock phosphate industry and was prominent in the cotton export trade and became one of the influential business men of the state.
 In his young manhood he enlisted in the Confederate army and rose to the rank of captain. He was captured at the battle of Nashville and held as a prisoner till the close of the war.
 He always took an interest in and was highly esteemed by the old oldiers and was honored by then, in being chosen as commanding general of the Florida di- vision of United Confederate Veterans which was host of the reunion of 1914 at Jacksonville.
 The many friends in Birmingham of MT. and Mrs. B. A. Inglis and Mr and Mrs. w. l.. Inglis sympathize with them in their vereavement.

With out advance notice from any source, the Montgomery county grand jury was re- called at noon Wednesday and charged with the duty of Investigating the all legations of the attorney general that liquor has been disposed of openly in vio- lation of the prohibition laws.

of $50 iron. Talk now is turning to civil markets on foundry iron for comparison.
 The government goes ahead steadily with it's war plans in most of which steel figures as basic necessity. Definite requirements for these undertakings as they appear tend to magnify rather than to reduce tonnage. If some estimates of government wants, immediate and event. ual, now being made in well informed quarters prove true troubles of the or dinary buyer to supply his demands prom ises to become intensified. As 1t is, new steel buying of private character has become negligible.
 Against this threatened probability is the statement of some sales authorities that enough steel will be available for commercial purposes if distribution is carefully directed.
 May pig iron production was Sh4.89S tone, a slight drop from April daily av- craze. Steel ingot production in May was the highest of year.

Cleveland, O., June 6.-(Special) )-Fev- erish buying of melting materials at phe- nomenal prices has aligned itself beside war requirements in finished steel as a paramount market factor in iron and steel, says the Iron Trade Review to- day.

They empha- size extending shrinkage of purchasab1e supplies which is rendering the position of the average buyer more unfavorable and uncertain. Unmistakable signs of famine conditions in pig iron continue to appear.

GREGORY PLEASED

Attorney General Gregory reiterated to- night his qualification over the absence of any serious disorders yesterday. A statement from the department or jus tice said:
 "The reports received at the depart ment throughout the day from officers and agents in widely separated sections of the country reflected the same ab- sence of trouble and general response to the provisions of the conscription act that characterized the reports received yesterday. These reports indicate that the registration may exceed materially the estimates prepared by the war de- partment on a basis of census figures. Department officials have been led by the heaviness of the registration to be- lieve that the number of evasions of the law will prove even fewer than has been antieipate ted.
 Already several arrests have been made because of the willful refusal of the individuals in question to register and the officers and agents of the depart ment acting on the instructions given them several days ago, will continue to take men into custody wherever such cases come to their attention and prose- cute them in accordance with the criminal provisions of the selective draft act.
 The fact that man has registered does not in anyway curtail his freedom of ac- tion Until he is actually selected, he is at liberty to go as he pleases. Should he see fit to leave the country he may do so, but he must return immediately if he is selected for the draft"
