companionship six days and three

The rival held the balance of power

 The problem of the City Commission will be to pass an ordinance under which the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power Company will be allowed to obtain and furnish by-product gas to the consumers of the city. The city Is not only interested in the terms under which the gas will be furnished to the public. but in the terms of the franchise which the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power Company will make to secure gas oils. The Tennes- see Coal and Iron Company and other local industrial concerns are equipped to furnish the gas oil

.JJ. S. ARMY IS GREAT TRAINING SCHOOL,
 STATES MAJOR MAYS
Local Recruiting Officer Tells Of Army Industrial Training at
 Kiwanis Luncheon

Mai H. B. May of the United States army recruiting service told of the Army Training and the Industrial Situation at the luncheon of the Kiwanis Club yes- terday.
 "The army is great industrial organ ization" he said. ITO carry on It's work it must have skilled and highly trained men. The army cannot attract the men it needs with pay; therefore, it must train it's own men. The young man who IS untrained, and who will become floater and a drifter, IS the man the army wants It trains him to carry on It's work, ana after he serves the term he returns 10 civil life equipped as citizen.
 "But the army is not a reformatory I. does not accept men with criminal rec ords. or who have served a term Tn prison"
 Major May who was an of1icer or the One Hundred and Sixty-seventh infantry in France, told several stories or boys who had met death on the battieneio Some were illiterate, he said, and those who were deplored the fact with their last breath. He then told of the worK of the army in overcoming ilhteracy among it's troops. The government has authorized the acceptance of liliterate men as recruits. They are sent 10 scnooi and taught to read and write oe1ore go ing into active service.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-08-11

The negative vote was cast by Com missioner Henry P. Burruss. who held that either tire service should be all lowed or the sale of oil, air. gas, water and wrecker service should be pro- hibited. Commissioner John H. Taylor was out of the city.
 The question was brought up by Sid ney J. Bowie. who. in a speech before the commission, strongly opposed the sale of tires on Sunday. He stated that Sunday is the day set apart for rest and worship and that the employees should be given the benefit of it. If any changes are to be made he thought 1t should be in the direction of stricter enforcement. He suggested the propo- sition of detailing six policemen solely to the talks of Sunday enforcement. MT. Bowie also asked that a definition of wrecker should be given so as to in- clude a machine with a crane.
 Frank Gafford, Jr., and E. B. Hold stein. as automobile dealers, called upon the commission to enforce the present ordinance and not to make any amendments

 ent1y spoke for n strict observance

STILLS ID BE DESTROYED Federal Officers to Make Concerted Drive In
 Shelby County

N. L. Pierce. federal prohibition en- forcement officer, is concentrating all the federal officers in northern Ala bama on Shelby county in the effort to clean up that county of Illicit stills.
 This action is the result of the recent shooting of party of officers by moon sinners from ambush. r. C. Stanford, federal officer was severely wounded and deputy sheriff Moore, of Shelby county. was injured by receiving several buck shot in the face and arms.
 The raids in this county will not step until every still has been destroyed. ac- cording to MT, Pierce. Numerous com plaints have been filed with the federal officers of illicit dstilling since the shooting.
 Four stills were destroyed by federal officers yesterday in one raid. The product of these stills, 7,lo0 gallons of beer and l40 gallons of whisky was poured out It is estimated that the total volue of the liquor that was des- troyed was close to S5,oo0. This is the largest result of single raid ever rec orded by the federal department. Two men. R. P, Every and A. D Me- Clinton, were arrested by the officers They were caught at the first still des- troyed It is thought that word was sent to the other men. for the other three stills were desehted. | Since the clean mp campaign started, Il | stills have been destroyed in that county.

FOUNDER 0F NORTH
 BIRMINGHAM DIES
James B. Pace, Noted Vir- ginian Philanthropist and
 Financier, Passes Away
By WILLIAM RYAN.

James B. Pace, who died at his home in Richmond, Va. few days ago, aged S3, was one of the best known men in the south and had many friends in Bir- mingham, who will lament his passing
 Soon after the Civil War he engaged in the manufacture of tobacco on an extensive scale and in few years amassed large fortune. He was the first citizen of Virginia to be rated as a millionaire. He was philanthropist but in dispensing charity was notably unostentatious.
 In the eighties MT. Pace sold his in- terest in the tobacco business and in- vested considerable part of his for tune in building operations. He ac- quired majority of the stock in the Planters National Bank, and as Its president won distinction as a broad . visioned financier. He was large stockholder in the Richmond and Dan vile railroad system. now the South ern, and was active in the developni en t of that important line.
 MT. Pace took a lively interest in Birmingham. He was one of the foun- ders of North Birmingham and ac- quired practically a control of the Patton mines in Walker county, which was afterwards merged into the Corona Company.
 In 1895 MT. Pace met with financial reverses and, although his creditors showed no disposition to press him, yet, instead of affecting a compromise which he could easily have done, he paid every creditor dollar for dollar which took all of his estate.
 He was the most popular man in Richmond. and there being a vacancy in the office of city treasurer, he was induced to offer himself a candidate, and was elected by an overwhelming g majority. He was reelected term after term without opposition. and was Iill- ing the office at the time of his death.
 Among his benefactions was a beauti- full Memorial Church-the Park Place Methodist. It Is estimated that he had given away during the days of his prosperity fully half million dollars. The old saying is that when riches take wings, the one-time benefactor loses his friends. but with MT. Pace, it was not so. He had not only been excep- tional1y generous to the poor, but had been a large giver to many civic enter prises. At his funeral the vast throng that gathered to pay last tribute of respect testified that he had drawn all classes to him with hooks of steel"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-08-11

of the state laws, which require
 the closing of all businesses except
 drug stores. He offered n counter
 ordinance to the motion made by
 Dr. Barrett. This ordinance pro-
 vides for the closing of every form
 of business with the exception of
 drug stores, bootblnck stands and
 Newspapers until noon.
 City ordinances allowing the sale of gas, oil, water, air and a 'pull-in" are in direct opposition to state laws. ac- cording to Commissioner Burress. Let's be consistent" he said. "by pro- hibiting all these things. or allow the sixth thing in the form of tire service"
 pr. Barrett stated that the denying of the petition did not mean the final settlement of the matter. The ordi- nance submitted by MT. Burress will come up at the regular meeting next Tuesday. In the meanwhile the com mission will have several conferences on the subject of either allowing tire service or prohibiting all automobile business on Sunday.
 The Eighty-One Tire Company re- mained open last Sunday. The officials of the company state that they expect to test out the validity of the city ordinance before the supreme court.

Owners Ask S53,000 In Excess of Appraisal
 of Auditorium Site

Property owners ask total of $13S,OOO for the property contained within the site of the proposed half million dollar auditorium, Eighth avenue and Twentieth street. These figures are 5000 in excess of the Ss5,OOO at which the property was appraised by the Real Estate Exchange.
 Hill Ferguson, who was cOmmis- stoned to purchase the property, reported to the City Commission yesterday that he was unable to obtain the property at anything like the appraised value. Immedi- ate condemnation of the property was asked in a resolution present. ed by Commissioner J. Ellis Brown. After some discussion 1t was de- cided to investigate the matter more thoroughly by the commits sion as n whole before resorting to condemnation.
