FEW BETS MADE ON OUTCOME OF CITY ELECTION MONDAY Some of Barrett Adherents Said to Be Unable
 to Get Money
 Covered

Betting on elections always has to be kept under cover, but it is generally rec ognized that more or less of it is done in every campaign.
 In the present political fight, however. there Is said to have been an exception ally small amount of money waged Last week the talk among those who are irl- terested in such matters was that there was no Ward money to be had except in the case of a few small bets, where odds up to two to one had to be given on Bar rett.
 One story going the rounds is to the effect that some of the Barrett men slast week poked lot of ridicule at some of the Ward supporters because they were unwilling to back their judgment by put ting up their money. This chiding is said to have gone so far that a conference was held last Sunday at which pool of 5000 was raised
 According to the story, one of the Ward men then took this money to one of the Barrett men and offered with . flourish to bet it even on Ward. It was quickly covered and the Ward man then offered to bet s200 more that the Barrett man had made bad bet. This was also covered. Then, according to the gossip on the streets, the Barrett man offered to bet $500 more that the Ward man had made a bad bet The Ward man said he would let him know about 1t the following day. but that was the last heard from him. According to the street rumors this incident occurred last Tuesday
 Another report circulated yesterday was to the effect that two men bet $50 even in front of the courthouse Thursday be- tween Ward and Barber. One contended that Ward would get large vote than Barber Monday and the other took the Barber end.
 There have been numerous reports Of snis,ll bets at various odds, but nothing definite is known about them because 1t is, of course, against the law to bet on elections, and such action is not noised abroad.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Letter From Gibson

MT. Blackman, Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The second liberty loan has been launched and the campaign. upon which so much depends, is now ill full swing.
 Perhaps it is no exaggeration to say that the project is one of the most mo- mentous that has ever engrossed the attention of the country. and that its success is absolutely vital to the life of the United States
 If the loan is to meet the response that we all confidently look for. the publicists, and above all the cartoonists. of the country have very important roll to play, and their enthusiastic CO., operation is absolutely essential
 Tn the premises we know that this will be a guiding principle with you in making all your cartoons during the campaign, and that wherever possible they will have direct reference to the liberty loan.
 The telling cartoon has strenuous ap- peal and it will accomplish infinitely more than the most elaborate editorial, and it is because of this that we so earnestly bespeak your whole hearted cooperation. Sincerely yours.
 CHARLES D. GIBSON, Chairman.

MAY CALL LOCAL
 MINERS ID CAPITAL Hywell Davis Here and De- lighted With Tennessee
 Kentucky Adjustment

Call from Washington for the attend ance of representatives of the miners of this district is expected early next week.
 The miners, whose committee will be headed by J. R. Kennamer, president of District No. 20, will outline to officials of their union, and representatives of the government exact conditions from their point of view which obtain in the Birmingham district. If they have grievances, such grievances will be re- ported.
 Hywell Davies of Washington, a con- bor, came to Birmingham yesterday. He was elated over the restoration of peace in the recently disturbed coal fields of Tennessee and Kentucky.
 By the terms of the agreement reached" he said. "all differences exist ing between miners and operators of those states will be submitted to arbitra- tion. The board for each state will con- sist of five members-two operators two Garfield, coal administrator There is ,it-
  these arbitrators will be able. to solve all problems and guarantee continuance of Work in Tennessee and Kentucky
 While MT. Davies authorized no state- ment as to his presence here or ex- pressed prediction as to the result of the visit to Washington of local min CTS, it is indicated that the miners them selves would be satisfied with the appoint ment of an arbitration board similar to those which will serve in Tennessee and Kentucky.
 Operators of the district, however would probably in:,erpose objection. The agreement to arbitrate would be tanta- mount. it is pointed out to a semi official recognition of the miners union, and this question: being one in dispute, would be subject to the consideration of such a board.
 Irrespective of the foregoing indica- tion. it is known that the miners will ask for higher wages. It is said that that they are convinced that they should be paid an increase in addition to the increase of practically 10 per cent, whieh was effective October l.
 MT. Kennamer states that unrest on the part of miners still exists and made 1t known that they feel they should be bet ter paid for their labor.

Daring Aviatrix Has Engine Trouble and Fails to Reach Birmingham From
 Chattanooga
BUREAU IS ASKED TO FURNISH
 DATA ON THE WIND
Miss StinsOn's Most Notable Feat Was Her Flight From Buffalo to
 Washington

Katharine Stinson will fly over and around and into Birmingham this morning.
 The aviatrix, unheralded, left Chat tanooga at o'clock yesterday after noon. On account of motor trouble. she descended at Valley Head and pro- ceeded to Fort Payne. in DeKalb coun- ty, where she spent the night Early this morning, the exact hour being unknown, she will take flight again. and shortly thereafter will be scheduled to land at the fairgrounds. Her mechanician, Gus Thiel, preced- ing her by rail, reached Birmingham yesterday.
 It is not known how long Miss Stin- son will remain in this city. FIRST ANIMATION OF TRIP
 The first known of the intention of Miss Stinson to fly into Birmingham was publication of the fact in The Age-Herald yesterday morning. Yes terday afternoon Chattanooga queried Local Weather Observer Horton as to the condition of the wind.
 oHOTlIy tueT0dIler MT. IAlel lH- formed certain acquaintances that Miss Stinson was en route. Later still, the Associated Press through bulletin, delivered official information.
 By that time, the news had spread throughout the city. Thousands of peo- pie for an hour maintained steadfast watch. At 5 o'clock telegram from fho trtv ta Mr. iol came with tidings of her misfortune.
 For an hour afterwards The Age- Herald's telephone service was on don- b1e time explaining the cause of the general disappointment.
 OBJECT OF HER COMING
 The object of the coming of Miss Stinson is speculative. Her presence in the south is due to the fact, it is believed, that she is scheduled to en- certain Mississippians on the occasion of the fair in Meridian. It is also un- derstood that she is doing Red Cross and liberty bond work in this section work in the prosecution of which she acquired great fame throughout the east during the summer.
 There is still another speculative reason. While the report that she was born in Birmingham could not be posi- lively eSta Dl1SnSd last nlSnl-sone contending that she was born in Mis- sissippi-it was fairly well substan- tiated that she divided the time of her girlhood between this city and Columbus.
 It is thought probable that on ac- count of the foregoing, she had de- sired to come into Birmingham quickly -on the wings of the air
 MOST SPECTACULAR FLIGHT
 The most spectacular and successful flight of Miss Stinson was last summer when in the interest of the Red Cross fund she flew from Buffalo to Wash ington. En route, she stopped at sew eral important cities for the purpose of collecting checks.
 Arriving at Washington, she circled the dome of the capitol score of times, and finally landed on monu- ment grounds. There she was greeted by Red Cross officials, Secretary Will liam G. McAdoo, and great concourse of people. For days afterwards she was feted by the fashionable of the capital
 Though so daring-she and Ruth Law being without rivals among their sex-Miss Stinson is very young, proo- ably less than 25 years of age.
