The rank and file of course is the back

Entire State Has Felt Influence of Local Minister, Say Resolutions
 Adopted Yesterday

The matter of the resignation of pr. Preston Blake fro-A the pastorate of the Southside Baptist church was brought before the Baptist pastors conference yesterday morning by Frank Willis Barnett, who stated that if pr. Blake should leave his work here the loss would be as great in the state at large as it would to Baptist circles in Birmingham itself. It was pointed out that pr. Blake had al ways taken a leading part in the work of the state Baptist conventions and that this loss would be seriously felt from one end of the state to the other.
 Many of the pastors expressed them- selves as desiring pr. Blake to remain in Alabama and reconsider his resigna- ton at the great SouthSide church. The following resolution was adopted:
 Be it resolved That this body wishes to express it's most sincere ap- preciation to the brotherhood of the Southside Baptist church for the splen- did resolutions concerning the resg- nation of this beloved pastor as they appeared in this mornings Age-Her- aid. As brother ministers we appre- ciate such a gracious action and noble stand on the part of this church to- ward one of our fellow minister's And be it further
 Resolved. That this body express themselves to pr. Blake and the South side church as most heartily concur ring with them in their resolutions. Respectfully, JOHN w INFER,

system"
 It may be that Congress in its wis dom may devise some plan py wnlch the militia can be made practlcal military organization, but certain 1t is that in the opinion of the men who were ordered for service on the bor- der the federal militia is gigantic failure.
 And this is not due to the individ- ual guardsmen for, despite the cen sure of "stav at home" critics, who have intimated that the boys were to be condemned for wanting to be re- lieved from border duty. it is true that nearly every writer military and otherwise, who has investigated the conditions has been unstintsd in praise of the individual membership of the guard. And it Is equally, true and many of those writers have con- demned the militia system" as it now exists. "a

come to a head. At the hearing tomor- row it is not known what the counsel for the city will submit, for this will be con- ditioned upon the evidence found in the Stone & Webster audit, which the city hopes will show that the bonds were issued "wastefully, negligently and in such way as to show fraud" as MT. Weatherly expressed it before the court yesterday.
 It is not unlikely that the city will argue from law and fact when the case comes up for hearing, inasmuch as 1t has admitted Jurisdiction in the case

EXPECT DECISION !. IN T|DEWATER CASE AFTER TOMORROW
Judge Grubb Tells City He Desires No Further Delay in Reaching Decision.
 Case Up Tomorrow

A final decision as to whether the Br- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany may absorb the Tidewater railroad is expected to be reached shortly after tomorrow.
 At the hearing yesterday afternoon Tn the federal court, M. Nj. Ullman and James Weatherly, counsel for the city, pleaded that they be given more time to gather evidence that would prevent the Tidewater from being absorbed The counsel held that the audit of the books, as made by Stone & Webster for the hondholders' committee, would show that the Tidewater had practiced fraud by issuing bonds in bad faith. As an exam pie, it was held that s5oO,0oO in bonds was issued for franchise purposes when only 5000 had been actually paid.
 In addition, it was averred that the Tidewater had obtained it's franchise to operate as a railroad and that by it's operation as street railway it had abused it's franchise to the point that it should be forfeited.
 But, to uphold its contention that the issuance of bonds had been practiced in
 such a manner as to make its obsorp- ton by the Birmingham Railway, Light
 and Power company possible, the city asked that more time be granted in order that the expert auditor might be sum- moned; that Fred Morris might be called
 upon to testify and that other evidence might be gathered.
 WANTS NO MORE DELAY Judge Grubb stated that he did not wish this case to be delayed much long CT, inasmuch as he felt that it should be
 brought to an issue. Finally it was mutually agreed that if the Stone & Webber report should be given to the counsel for the city that the city would
 be willing to be heard tomorrow morn ing at 9:3o o'clock.
 Counsel for the bondholders' commit | tee and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company agreed to this, pro- vided this evidence would not enable the opposing counsel to further delay de- cision. It was their opinion that nothing would be contained in the audit, and the agreement was reached tentatively. l Therefore it seems likely that some de- cision will be reached in the matter of permitting the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company to be substi- tuted for J. D. Kirkpatrick as the bidder
 for the Tidewater at the foreclosure sale l THE CITY PRATESTS 1 James Weatherly contends that such permission would be in contravention oi | the provisions of clause 12 in the Tide water franchise that contained a prohibi- tion to transfer or assignment of trans fer to a competing line except under l certain conditions InaSmuch as these conditions had not been fulfilled, he con tended the city protested against tn, court permitting this substitution.
