ganzing the Curb consisted Of Sew

ganizing the Curb consisted of Sey-
mour N l; Cromwell, chairman; Donald
&. Geddes, E. H. H. Simmons, Bayard
Dominick, Henry G. S. Noble. H. K.
Pomroy and Arthur j. Rosenthal. The
alignment of the members on the reso-
luton as it finally went to the board
OF governors was understood to be as
follows: For-Mr. Cromwell, Mr..
Geddes. Mr.. Noble and Mr Dominick.
The other three, it was said, opposed
the recommendation for placing the
Curb under the jurisdiction Of the
Stock Exchange. Thefefore, it was
case of the minority report being ac-
cepted.
When the Stock Exchange authori
ties last July announced that they had
taken up the matter of taking over the
Curb market the outside association
had progressed in its own housing
plans to the extent that about $3.50, 900
had been raised for building of its
own. 1t was also provided that the
membership should be increased from
400 to 1900.

Stock Exchange
Votes to Hold
Aloof FromC Curb

Governors of the New York Stock
Exchange at special meeting yester-
day voted down the recommendations
OF special committee of the board
favoring the housing of the New York
Curb Market Association as an adjunct
Of the exchange. Upon being informed
OF this action, E. r. Mccormick, chair
man of the organization of outside
brokers', announced that the association
would go ahead with its plans for 60
ing indoors Independently of the wishes
of the authorities on the "big board"
THE action of the governing COM
mittee of the Stock Exchange in reject
ing the report of the special committee
on housing the Curb" said Mr. McCor-
mick, will in no way deter the reor-
ganization committee of the New York
Curb Market Association from continu-
ing and resuming it's plans for housing
the Curb market"
The head of the Curb association de-
clared that not more than 65 per cent
Of business now transacted in the open
from Stock Exchange houses, contrast
cd with about 80 per cent ten years
ago.
The statement Of the Stock Exchange,
which made no mention of the senti-
ment of the members of its special
committee appointed to consider the
matter of housing the Curb, said:
"At meeting of the governing COM
mittee, held on November 12, 1919, the
committee appointed to study the ques-
tion of dealing h outside securities
presented resolution in which the
question of affording the Curb assoca-
tion place for dealing in securities
not dealt in on the New York Stock
Exchange was presented for their con-
sideration. Action ON this resolution
was postponed until the meeting held
to-day.
"At the meeting held to-day it was
voted that it would be unwise for the
Stock Exchange to offer such accommo-
dations to the Curb association"

Dr. Cunningham Plead
 Guilty and Not Guilty
 Before Church Tribunal
By CHARLES H. MAND N

, acknowledgement, but to the latter he plead not guilty.
 Owing to the standing of Dr. Cunning
 ham, for he was both prominent ana popular, the trial drew a large crowd to the church and during the session 1t was packed to it's capacity, that is, at the be- ginning. In his opening statement, he said that he had attended a dance, also he had "tripped the light fantastic with more or less ability, principally less, put denied that he had committed any sin Now among the many natural gifts with the doctor isl endowed, is that Of oratory. He has made many notable and eloquent speeches in his long and useful career but it is doubtful if he was ever more eloquent than when he defended himself
 before that church tribunal.
 In the first place he stated that the dance he attended was at the residence of a highly respected citizen, the equal socially or morally of any in the com munity, that the people in attendance were highly respected and socially or morally of that or any other church membership, that the environments were good, and that he not only danced, but enjoyed it.
 The doctor quoted hberally from the Bible to show that dancing of itself was not sinful He cited history, ancient and modern, delved into tradition and TO- nance, and ,combed the~pages of litera- ture contenhing that dancing was both harmless and hollthful and not sinful unless made so by environments.
 Now even eloquence will pall after :, while and on the second night or the trial. the audience begin to thin out as the hour grows late. pr. Cunningham however, being full up," so to speak. of his subject, and somewhat near-sighted as well, did not notice the emptying or the church As the midnight hour ap- preached, he was still quoting ShNkes- peare and sam Jones when he 'sensed the stiffness of the place, and, on lookln 5 around, he found the church deserted with the single exception of one of the dea cons. a close personal friend of hls,
 and he was fast asleep
 As the situation dawned on the some what tired doctor, realizing he had been s.vasting sweetness on the desert air, and that all his eloquence had appar-
 ently gone for naught, he decided to change his tactics, so, waking up the sleeping deacon. he said:
 Look here, Jake, it seems to be up to you to decide this case, and If you don | acquit me. darned if 1 don't whip yo" l right here.
 Wait a minute, doe replied Jake, HIS l he slowly reused himself before o-ciock' | the deacons reached a written declsloA l in the case, but as you were in the mids. l of an effuson on the poetry of motion' | | was reluctant to disturb you l He handed the doctor letter. whici l he opened and read in large letters
 Charges dismissed.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-04-14

In the annals of Jefferson county there are on record many notable trials, that not only attracted much attention here, but were given national prominence by press and law journals. The records are incomplete, however. in that the trial of pr. R. M Cunningham, the eminent physician, statesman, orator, wit, scholar and true southern gentleman is not re- corded While the "trial occurred quite a number of years ago, it might be of in- terest to the friends, and they are legion, of the genial doctor to have it recounted even at this late day.
 As Dr. Cunningham has always been partial to water, as evidenced by his prohibition activities, of course he be- longed to the Baptist church, and it was before the tribunal of that church that the doctor was called to answer to the charge balancing. Like the good church member he is, pr. Cunningham obeyed the summons to attend the trial and act ed as his own counsel. Despite the in sistance of the legal fraternity that he who acts as his own attorney, has a fool for cleint;" so well did he defend him. self, that he was acquitted.
 Before going into the details of the trial, however, it might be of interest to the many friends of Dr. Cunningham to learn that since his sojourn in Florida where he is temporarily domiciled, he is much improved in health, and has been spending a few days in the city meeting his many friends and acquaintances who are delighted with the improvement in his realth and the pleasure of his genial companionship.
 The doctor speaks interestingly of Flor ida, and asserts it is state of striking contrasts. He states that in some parts it abounds with vegetation, fruits md flowers, in others the lands are so poor that not even lizard can live on it.
 He has nothing but praise for Dethonia, however, the place where he has pur- chased a winter home, and its balmy cline to which he attributes largely his regained health. And all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, Dr. Cunning ham states he expects to resume the prac- tice of medicine in Birmingham at an early date, even though he has given his valuable medical library to the Jefferson county Medical association.
 But to come back to the trial of Dr. Cunningham for dancing, It took place in the Baptist church at Pratt City where the doctor was located for so many years, and lasted two days. There were two counts in the charges, one for violation of the church rules, and the other for committing the ''sin of dancing To the first specification he made due
