OF OPINION that
DR.. FUEHR IS Liar
Attorney Denies Having Had
Conference With German
Agent About Purchase
i. of Newspaper. ~

Washington, Dec. H-Referrina
to his letter to DR.. H. +. Albert i'll
February, 1916, regarding the pur-
chase of the New York Sun,
Samuel Untermyer told the SEN
ate committee he had discussed the
question with friend whose name
was not mentioned
The talk about this evening and
morning paper being in the market
had been common gossip for long
time he said, "and we were anxious
to acquire it OH proper terms. | lad
discussed it in 1913 before the Eu-
ropean war with the same friend.
We have been and are still in nego-
tiation for another paper on his be-
half"
Didn't you know that Albert was
to get the money from Berlin for
the purchase of the newspaper.
asked Senator Nelson. -
Il did not know where the money
was to come from and | didn't care
in 1916" he replied. Il assumed
that whoever his friends were there
he would have to connect with
them"
Wanted to Avoid Publicity.
Mr.. URtrrmyer denied that he had
stated to Alien Property Custodian
Palmer that he would purchase the
New York Evening Mail, provided
that its being German-owned was
not disclosed. He said he represent
ed the American bondholders of the
Mail and in endeayoring to protect
their interests he asked Palmer / t
to give publicity to the German i'll
terests in the paper. Such publicity
would injure it financially, he said.
Mr.. Untermyer said he had met
Count Won Bernstorf, but had never
discussed with him the purchase of
the newspaper, and that he did not
know DR.. Karl Fuefr, an assistant
of DR.. Albert.
Then, if DR.. Fuehr's diary says
that he conferred with you about the
purchase of a newspaper, it is in
correct?" asked Major Hunres.
ut is lie; there may be a great
many other lies in his diary, too"

If YOU see a pair of pretty girls swinging to a wire rope by their teeth (and you will see them if you are on the streets near the Brown-MarX or Empire building today at noon) don't get wrought up and do something des- perate They are the Omar sisters, and they are just doing this stunt to keep in practice, for since thy are on the Loew's bill for the first half of the week and old influenza flew in and closed their places of performance they decided not to be outdone and took to the open air They have stretched wire rope across Twentieth street from the Brown Marx building to the Elm pire building and will slide from the seventh floor of one building to the other, clinging by their teeth to the hanger on the rope.
 The girls are always on the job Tor the Liberty Loan drives wherever they go and while in Birmingham they ar ranged this stunt with the Liberty Loan Headquarters. It is an unique way or calling attention to the loan for While making the glide from one building to another they will drop Liberty Loan literature, which will show how the K kaiser is hanging on just by the skin of his teeth.
 The feat is worth seeing, and Man ager Arrowood who is always ready to co operate with the various patriotic organizations and to lend hand in government work of any kind, is re- sponsible for planning the stunt that will be sure to attract hundreds of peo- pie.

WOMEN ACTIVE IN
 LOAN CAMP PAlGN
County Chairman Makes Good Report on Progress
 in Liberty Loan Drive

From the reports reaching state head quarters in the Brown-Marx building 1t is evident that the women of Alabama are giving good account of themselves in the fourth Liberty Loan campaign. In other campaigns their work did not include taking subscriptions so that work is new to them this time, but they have gone about it like veterans.
 Although county chairmen were not expected to make reports until today, quite a number were received by state chairman, Mrs. Salon Jacobs, yesterday All of the reports showed that the wom- en had been doing effective work, and when the campaign ends it is certain that their showing will be a most cred itable one. Reports from county chlr- men received by Mrs. Jacobs yesterday were as follows:
 Talladega, northern half, $100950 Nor gan county, $172,3 Fayette. s22,90O; Dal- las, $11300O; Marengo, $336Oe; Pickens' s2s, ,25O; Cullman, $500; Autauga, $l9,l5o; Tallapoosa, $7O5O; Coosa, slo5o; Lamar, s11, 400; Fillmore, $24,150; DeKalb. $9Ooo.

WILLARD TODRVE
 POCKET EDITION St. Paul Speedster Will Pilot Smallest Race Car in
 Country

Floyd Willard, the St. Paul speedster, who will drive his Monroe, Jr.. the smallest racing creation in this country, in the automobile races that are sched- uled for the last day of the fair, is conceded a good chance to land first honors by the racing fans who have been watching his performance this sum- mer. His car is very light, weighing something less than 900 pounds, and will be able to take the short turns on the local track wide open where other driv CTS have to shut off and coast.
 George Clark was out to the grounds late last evening with his big Case car and seemed confident of his ability to beat Horey when they meet in the spe- cial match race to decide the southern championship.
 The other drivers are busy overhaul ing their machines, some putting them in shape for the contests. Reports from the various garages where they are quar- tered indicate that they will all be ready when the starters flag drops. Sec retary J. l.. Dent is to be congratu- lated upon the securing of such a num- Der of high-clas entries as this is un- doubtedly the fastest and best collec- ton of drivers that have been brought together on a dirt track this summer, and record breaking time, as well as daring driving, will be seen.

LOEW'S BIJOU CLOSES ON ACCOUNT OF THE
 INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
Management Offers Co-Operation to City Health Authorities in Drastic
 Measure for Public Health

There will be no performances at Loew's Bijou theatre today, nor any day following until the city health au- thorities advise Manager Arrowood to open. This action was taken last night following the announcement of the clos ing of the schools and the possible adop- ticn of an ordinance today by the city commission closing the theatres.
 Following the announcement Mr. Arrowood immediately got into com munication with Southern Manager E. A Schiller in Atlanta and MT. SchilleT said over the long distance phone: "Close up your theatre with tonight's performance and cooperate with your local health authorities in every way possible-going even farther than they ask if you think it will aid any It is the policy of Loews theatres all over the United States to stand behind any movement for the benefit of the public. We do not care anything for few dollars when the public health Is at stake"
 So Loew's Bijou closed last night at Il o'clock until further orders from the city commission It will open when the commission says so. and not before, according to Manager Arrowood.

Bessemer, October 7.-(Special. )-4Reso- lutions drawn up by the county board of health, closing all public schools, city and county, churches and all places of amusement and indoor gatherings were adopted at a special meeting of the city council last night and are now in force for a period of two weeks or longer if indicated. This action was taken as preventive measure to check the spread of influenza. which, during the past few days. has bordered on an epidemic. The city council also adopted a resolution to the effect that all cases of influenza in the city shall be re- ported by the city physician who will report them to the county health of- ficer.
 Acting upon the advice of Dr. J. D. Bowling, county health officer, Mayor B. C. Jones requested a meeting of the board of education this afternoon for the purpose of dismissing the public schools for two weeks on account of the epi- demic of influenza Dr. R. P. McTyeire, the president of the board, was out of the city, and other members of the board were speaking in the interest of the Lib- erty Loan, so no meeting was held and no official action was taken. It is thought advisable by the mayor to close the schools and all public gathering places for the next two weeks or longer if conditions are not improved There are a number of cases in the city, and while there is no reason for alarm, as a preventive measure the schools and other places were ordered closed.
 MT. J. w. Carter. who has been so i'll for weeks, is reported in a very critical condition, and little hope is held out for her recovery Mrs. Carter has many friends in the district who will regret to learn of her serious illness.

North Alabamians are responding very generously to the request of the government that they save peach stones and nut shells and already sew eral quantity shipments have been re- ceived at the Birmingham repository, 110 North Twenty street. Paschal Shook, chairman of the Birmingham chapter of the Red Cross, stated yes- terday that while the people are ship ping them in very freely, not near the quantity required has been secured from this section.
 MT Shook is distributing lot of It. erature bearing on the subject of fruit stones and shells which contains list of the kind the government can use
 The government asks you to save materials you are now throwing away" the pamphlet reads You are asked to consider that the refuse from your kitchen will help save the life of a man in the trenches and fur thermore you are urged to collect and to turn over to the Red Cross the fruit pits or nut shells included in the fol- lowing list: Peach stones. apricot pits, prune pits, plum pits, olive pits, date seeds, cherry pits, butter nut shells, Brazil nut shells, walnut shell and hickorynut shells.

 Children in many of the schools are gathering the stones and shells. Coun ty Food Administrator Paul H. Earle has offered handsome silk American flap a nriZa tp inc school catherine up and sending in the greatest quan- tity of nuts before December 23.
 The wholesale grocers of Birming- ham have assumed the duty of pro- viding receptacles for the pits and stones at different places throughout this district, and their travelling sales men will assist in getting these to the repositories. The persons collecting them, however, are urged to send them in themselves by parcel post as by so doing they will expedite their col lection and shipment.
