TO RELEASE MAN
 Police tonight expressed the opinion that Shayne had told everything he knew of "the case and declared he would be released on his own recognizanee.
 Stories told police today by Miss Hulda Johnson, housekeeper for Lofts for five years, indicated that the party which re- suited in the diamond merchants death was only one of many held in his apart ment. Broken whisky and beer bottles and other signs of hilarity and debauch- cry frequently were found in the apart ment by her the morning after, she said.
 She termed the apartment girl trap" and declared Lofts had entertained fifty different girls there since the first of January. One bedroom ill the apartment was fitted up as a boudoir for women, she said and was always kept equippe with rouge, powder and other feminine requisites
 The coroners inquest will be held Mon- day or Tuesday, it was said tonight
 Police tonight were bending every effort toward clearing up the details of the taxicab ride taken by Miss Woods after she fled from the Loftis apart nksnt. They said that full information concerning the ride might bring out the exact details of the diamond deal CTS death.
 Attempts to shake the conflicting stories of Miss Woods and Herman WeXler, the taxicab driver, by taking them over the route, failed to change the statement of either.
 Shayne late tonight, was questioned further concerning his statement that Lofts fell dead, apparently tripping, just as he entered the apartment in response to Miss Woods telephone call for help
 Police said they were satisfied that Miss Woods was alone with Lofts at the time of his death and that the body was cold, apparently dead for some time, when the doctor summoned by Shayne arrived.
 They also said they were puzzled ovef the fact that only s1.5O was found in Loftis' clothes, declaring he was known to always have around $1,o00 with him

of students from Alabama and neighboring states.
 His many students by reason of their splendid training are successfully holding high, re- sponsible positions in some of the largest manufacturing cor porations and mercantile houses in the city and district.
 Prof. Ellis has demonstrated that he is not only a profound student in pedagogy, but an in ventor in designing chart by which double-entry bookkeeping is so clearly visualized that chill dren, ten to twelve years of age, comprehend its principles within forty-eight hours instruction.
 His lucid methods and clarify- ing chart tend to enthuse his pupils and deepen their interest in and love for the beauties in the science of correct account ing.
 His students not only eagerly grasp and master the reasons for the debit and credit side of the ledger, but the clear purpose and object of the loss and gain ac- counts, in showing at all times the solvency or insolvency of going business.
 He has given them the simplest and most easily acquired short hand system known. It follows as night the day, that his pu- pills are elated with their easy acquisition of those requisites for desirable bookkeepers, type writers and stenographers.
 Hence the time for staying and studying in his school is shorter for acquiring thorough business course and cost smaller, and the drudgery of once hard task is turned into refreshing period of charming mental and physical victories in mastering these essential arts for a sue cessful career in life.

Prof. s. A. Ellis

Prof. Stephen A. Ellis, the promoter of this college, was born in the foothills of the Ap- palachian range of mountains in north Alabama about half cen tury ago. After finishing in the public schools of his county, he went to the Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, Ala, seeking a higher education. He taught school some years after leaving Auburn, then married.
 Feeling the necessity for spe- cial training to fit himself for greater success in the school room, he attended the Peabody Normal College at Nashville, Tenn, taking with him his wife and two children.
 Here at this famous institu- ton he earnestly devoted himself to master the art of pedagogy. Very well did he equip himself as the sequel of his life shows.
 After teaching in the rural SchOOlS TOT over IWeHIy-lOuA years, he began an outdoor travelling life lasting over four years, working in building up business college in southern cities.
 Seeing the great need for training our young men in busl- ness methods, in order to meet the urgent demands of the growing city of Birmingham, he opened up the Spencer Business Commercial College in thfs city.
 At the outbreak of the world war in 1914, this college with a meager outfit of six typewriters, one dozen chairs and four tables, has grown marvelously. Today this school is amply supplied with typewriters, combined adding, posting and billing machine, dictaphone, and all the para phernalia of a frst-class busi- ness college, with large number
