NO MORE HISTORY
 OFFICE BUILDINGS Zoning Committee of Real Estate Exchange Seek to
 Regulate Buildings

Birmingham will have no more twenty -five-storS office buildings if plans for "zoning'' approved by the Real Estate Exchange committee on zoning, which met yesterday, are worked out
 The committee, of which Jerome Tucker is chairman, met yesterday aft ernoon in the exchange office in the Jefferson County Bank building to con- sider the advisability of "zoning' or dinance for the city
 It was the sense of the meeting that the matter should be taken up al once and inquiries will be made in the next few days as to what steps along the line have been adopted in other cities. The American Civic Association will be asked by Robert Jemison. Jr., for data compiled by them on the question and it is probable that suggestions for an ordinance to relegate certain business houses to certain sections of the city prohibit manufacturing concerns or business houses from locating in strictly residential districts and limit the height of office buildings will be recommended to the city.
 The matter of the proposed civic cen ter or grouping of the municipal build : ngs around the area of Capital park was also brought up at the meeting yesterday and it was decided to use all influence possible towards carrying out the civic center idea.
 The zoning committee of the ex- change is as follows: Jerome Tucker, chairman; sH Motion. w c. Oliver, Robert .Iemison, Jr.. B. M. Allen, H.eA. Moseley and ". Thornton Estes. All of these except MT. Etses, who has been attending a tlumbermens association meeting irkTennessee for the past few days, was present at the meeting yes terday.
 Another meeting of the committee will be called as Soon as the data can be secured on the subject and it Is prob able that an ordinance will be proposed shortly, to Commissioner J. Ellis Brown who has assured the exchange of his co operation in the matter.

Alabama. MT. Hitchcock and Mr Thompson have not been very good political friends since the memorable campaign of 1912 when the former led the forlorn hope of President Taft fo- re- election while Mir. Thompson was an adherent of Colonel Roosevelt who disrupted the C. o. r. that year and put Woodrow Wilson into the pres.- dential chair with the biggest electoral college majority recorded since the Civil war
 The organization men claim they are not opposed to General Wood, but they assert that 1t would be bad for the party in the state for one outside the reservation to put over winner here. and they declined to sit idly by while he was doing it.
 1t is pointed out by friends of Mir Thompson as singular and a sig nificant fact that prominent members of the organization from several wide ly separated sections of the state should be in Birmingham at the very minute word came from Mir Hitchcock that Mir. Thonnson was no longer manager in Alabama for General Wood and that if. he were acting as such he was doing it without authority. '1t looked like they knew something was going to happen and they had gath cicu hNip Aci ea ANFN fNesN' NNNfe'iSN this person.
 Mir. Thompson was trying yesterday to get in communication by long dis tance telephone with the Wood head quarters in Washington. hut up to a late hour had failed to make connec- tion. Until he can hear from the headquarters managers he declines to comment on the statement of Mir, Hitchcock further than to say that he had not been advised of his depo- sition as state manager for Genera Wood. He promised a statement just as soon as he is definitely advised of the situation at the Washington head quarters.
 The headquarters for the southern states is located in Washington, with Senator Moses of New Hampshire as manager. He has Supervision, it is said, over the Wood state organizations south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers It is he who appointed Mir.
