 That's nothing,p interrupted another out-of-town Methodist. "I've even been restricting the familys table meat to pigs knuckles, liver and frankfurters, and here this preacher down here in Birmingham eating chicken and throw ing the heads out of his study window"
 That's why he left Knoxville and has fingered around Birmingham for four years a local light added. He knew what congregation was most proficient in the poultry industry. And Judging from the size of this evidence we have unearthened, I can imagine 1t was some plump fowl Stuart had roast ed for his dinner today

Dr. George R. Stuart was caught with the goods on late yesterday.
 Simmer of an Indian summers sun revealed the clew to a doub1e-b breasted mystery.
 This morbid bit of evidence was partly concealed under tuft of grass just outside the window of the pastors study in the First Methodist church.
 The discovery was accidental
 Throughout the day Methodist editors and church dignataries from various sections of the south were in execu- tive conference in the parlor of the church.
 Dr. Stuart was absent
 Even Dr. Frank M. Thomas official censor of Methodist literature, with headquarters in Nashville, was not present at the startling revelation.
 The chiefs of Southern Methodism had granted an audience to the staff photographer of The Age-Herald and were herded for pose in the rear of the edifice.
 It was then that Dr. c. B. Harris. the Sherlock Holmes of the conference, who ts editor Of the Baltimore Southern Methodist, stumbled upon the clew.

 This was an admission, the speaker said, he had gleaned through informa- tion from the editorial department, "a certain city editor declaring that he no longer held respect for the editorial page since it was dictated by the business office.''
 Permanent organization of the Southern Methodist Press association was effected at last nights meeting in the First Methodist church.
