New Orleans Will
Make Address

The Alabama Merchants association
has played in hard luck. The jinx over

his game had been protested and that
he had not gotten the hit that he be-
lieved that he poled out
Herbert c.. Hoover will not speak to
Alabama merchants on August %, as
planned, announced and rejoiced over.
as he will not be able to get away from
Washington until after Congress adj
journs. He will, however, address them
in Birmingham in October, when the
State Fair is on, and a special call will be
issued to the merchants to come to Bir-
mingham and hear the great food expert
The convention this year, August II,
%, 90, will be held just as planned though,
and in place of Mr. Hoover, T. F. Davis,
president of the federal farm loan bank
of New Orleans, will tell the merchants
how their farmers can borrow money on
their farms, and this will improve their
communities and also enable the mer-
chants to discount their bills. Mr.. Da-
Wis will go into details just as the mer-
chants will be interested in and will
profit by hearing.
The other features of the association
remain unchanged and the fiddlers'- con-
vention continues to grab most of the
limeiight as a side line attraction. The
prizes will be $50, SIS, SIS, $40. IS, and then
there will be other features to attract
the fiddlers.

NO DECISION GIVEN
IN FLORIDA CASE
Injunction Proceedings Tried by
Three Federal Judges, Who
Reserve Judgment

No decision was reached in the case
tried in federal court yesterday by Judge
w. I. Grub of Birmingham, Judge Rich
ard w. Walker Of Huntsville and Judge
r. M. Mccall of Jacksonville, Fla,
wherein J. A. Gates of Florida is suing
for an injunction that will cause Tax
Collector J. A. Berryhill of Broward coun-
ty to cease the collection of drainage
and other taxes on Florida Everglade
land.
Claire D. Valletate of Washington rep
resented the plaintiff and Attorney Gen
eral Thomas F. West of Florida and
Glenn Terrell of Tallahassee represented
the defendant. The case is one where
state statute is being attacked and the
law requires that three judges hear the
case BY agreement Birmingham was set
as the place for the hearing and though
there is absolutely no local or state bear
ing on the case it was commented on
freely, due to the unusual conditions sur
rounding it. The judges will render their
decision at a later date.

KING INJURED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
Empfoye of City Badly In
jured When Automo-
biles Collide

w. M. King, an employe of the city
was painfully injured at the corner o.
Fourth avenue and Twentieth street, at
$50 o'clock last night, when he was
struck by taxcab driven by w. F
Perry of the Jenkins Taxicab company
after it had collided with another auto
mobile. King was rushed to the Hill
man hospital in an ambulance of Johns
Undertaking company, where it was said
his condition was not serious. Perry was
arrested by Sergt. H. H. Moreand and
Detectives Patton and McGill, charged
with reckless driving. No one except King
was injured.
King was injured on the head and on
the side. An X-ray was being made OF
his injuries late last night but authori-
ties expressed the opinion after a pre-
liminary examination that he would live.
Shortly after the accident the GROVE
that had been attracted to the scene was
SO large that traffic was blocked for a
few minutes.
Witnesses to the accident say that Per-
ry was driving up Twentieth street from
Third avenue and another car was on
Fourth avenue, going toward Twenty
first street 1t is said that Perrys cai
made circle, curving into the left, and
struck the rear of the other car then
a few yards farther striking King and
knocking him down. King was bleeding
profusely when he was put into the
ambulance.

LAST LINGERING
DEBT OF CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE PAID
Blanks Everett Was Rejoicing Yes
terday That No One Now Holds
II o U" Against the
Organization

1t was easy to learn what made the
Woodlawn women so happy yesterday,
when it was stated that school build
ing, high school building, the kind they
have yearned after for years, had been
located In their midst, but it was not SO
easy to fathom the cause of Blanks Ev-
erett's watermelon grin. He was 50
happy that he did not even care If they
came after him to go to the front. 1t
all came about this way:
Yesterday Blanks Everett paid the last
dollar of Indebtedness hanging over the
Chamber of Commerce, and today the or
ganzation is absolutely free of debt. This
has been fond hope of Mr. Everett, but
many times what he believed to be an idle
dream. Yet it has come true And no
one blames him for being happy.
On December 81, 1916, the chamber was
due sundry creditors, among whom We're
the holders of some old notes on the de-
funct cafe the chamber at one time oper-
ated $5,30636. Today the patient men
have been rewarded and no man holds
the chambers II o u" excepting of
course, current bills, which are met
monthly.
his was dSSoiiIPAoHSu py FreSluent
Charles DeBardeleben and Crawford
Johnson. whom the president named as
chairman of a special committee to retire
the debt. Mr. Johnson. in his usual bust
ness-like manner went out and raised
the money and put the debts behind. Mr..
Everett did his part in erasing the debt
by doing double work ever since Mr.. Rad
cliffe left the chamber, and holding down
expenses SO that the savings could be
applied on the debt. He has achieved
his fondest hope, and feels amply re-
warded for any extra work done to save
the salary Of man.

STUDY OF GERMAN
TO BE CONTINUED
University of Alabama Will Offer
Even Better Course Than Usual
During Coming Term

For the last few weeks an absurd
rumor that the University of Alabama
Is to discontinue all courses in Ger
man has been circulated throughout
the state. and has no doubt been given
credence by few said Harry Harris
field of the 1917 Crimson White board.
How it originated is a mystery TO
the university authorities and is en-
phatically denied by DR.. Denny. Some
war enthusiast probably thought that
in view of our relations with Germany
it would be good thing to abolish
the teaching of German in the uni
versities, and in this way the rumor
was probably started. In spite Of Its
absurdity it has been repeated BY some
people as a fact.
ION the other hand. the courses Of
fered in German for the coming SEES
sion are especially good and there
will be, to all appearances, greater
demand for them than ever"
