MURDER VICTIMS ARE. LAID ID REST WITH
 TOUCHING CEREMONY

United in a long and honorable life, from which they departed together, victims of a terrible crime which has shocked tlee whole state, Jacob and Barbara Eahardt, pioneers of Phoenix, yesterday morning were laid to rest in double grave in Greenwood ceme- tery.
 Several hundred persons gathered tp3put the grave and bowed their heads and men anc women wept openly as the Rev. William Scarlett of Trinity ProsCathedraI read a simple burial service and the caskets were lowered to their final resting place. There was a wealth of flowers, the offerings literally banking the four sides of the double grave.
 On the fringe of the crowd stood an automobile occupied by, the three sons Of the deceased who sat with bent heads. sobbing with suppressed emo ton while the steel caszets were be ing lowered into the grave. Attending tho funeral were state. county and city officials and a large delegation of AIasons, with a large sprinkIing of in- innate friends of the family who had gathered to pay homage to the couple who had won their esteem through long years of association in business and friendship. Stern and silent, the assembIage bore q deeper significance than what appeared upon the surface for here and there was written grim determina tion on the faces of the gath ering which boded i'll for the culprit who had committed this dastardly crime.
 Earlier in the morning. q crowd which filled the chapel Of IF. M Maus 10 suffocation heard the service of the Episcopal church read by Dean Scar lett. while a crowd equally as large, unable to gain admittance, remained OH the outside until the service was I ~ s a solemn and impressive one. Two 4Ir and Mrs. Erhardt occupied the altar, while banked on every side were fully 50 floral tributes. some of them of immense proportions.
 The funeral procession to the ceme- tery followed the services at the chapel Heading the long procession of auto mobiles. which extended for three blocks, was a hose cart Of the Phoenix fire department which left the line oi march on Washington street in from Of the capitol while members of thu fire department stood at attention while the procession passed.
 The pallbearers were Percy Helm Vic Hanny, Smith Chittick, Al CSalDin William Wallace, Fred Rankin, Le' Stewart. ". Batcheler. c. C. Allen Gene Cunningham, Thomas Aaddocl and Capt. Lee Sutherland.
 As a mark of sympathy and respee fo the Erhardt family, Acting Governo Nit Simms yesterday requested tha all state offices be closed during tn funeral hours from 10 until 1 o'clock.

LITTLE STORY FROM

 SPIRIT OF LEGION

How thoroughly the reputation ot the American Legion for living up to it's ideals has been established in the
 minds of Americans is well shown in an article in Life" in the issue of Nav 20. Appearing in publication not only fndependent but opposed to certain legislation asked by the Legion the article is expected to increase I'm menseIy the Legion's already great stock of good will, and to go far ln showing the Legion is not working TOT any selfish interest.
 The article in Life" follows in full; The Greatest Union On Earth (The little story that follows is neither fable. fiction, nor para Be cause it is fact culled from the days

New Orleans, June 22.-Tim Murchi- son, left-hand pitcher of the New Or leans club of the Southern Associa- tion. and Ray Neusel. outfielder for the same club. have left the team and will play ball with teams in the Delta League, an organization formed late this spring. composed of towns in Mis- sissippi.
 President Heinemann of the New Or. leans club stated tonight that he would immediately institute proceedings in the federal district court for an in junction to restrain these men from playing ball with any other club than New Orleans. Murchison is said to have accepted an offer from Jackson, Miss. and Neusel one from Greenville.
 Both men. according to Mir. Heine- mann, are under contract to the New Orleans club. Murchison was obtained from the Cleveland American League club ana Neusel came to New Orleans from Cha ttanooga as the result of q trade made before the season opened.
 MT Heinemann said that the Delta League clubs were offering Southern Association players larger salaries than any of the clubs could afford to pay anu the men were jumping thei" contracts and he further stated that If the practice was not stopped none of the Southern Association clubs would be able to keep their teams in tact. For this reason. he has in- structed his attorneys to begin inJunc- tion proceedings at once.

BARONS ARE DEMONS
 FOR CONSISTENCY

The laurels must be handed to the Barons. For consistent playing Moley' $ men seem to have no equals.
 The Barons went into the lead of the league about a week ago and they have been hitting a winning stride ever since. The Pels. the Bears and the Chicks have been hanging persist ently on the trail of the locals, but as yet have been unable to overhaul Moley's flying crew.
 The fact that the Bnrons have
 been winning about three-fourths
 of their games lately is not so sen
 sationai in itself. but when one
 considers that MoIey's men gained
 the lead and have been holding
 same by victories earned over
 leading teams, it becomes n little
 more noticeable.
 The Pels and the Bears have been playing good ball lately-yes, good ball. But against whom? Why, the Lookouts and the Vols, clubs holding last and seventh positions, respective ly The Barons have been defeating the Travellers and the Chicks, holding high first division berths up until they met the Barons. For two weeks Moley's men have been facing the hardest part of their schedule and they

Section 7616 States That COmbats Between Man and Man, to Which Admis- sion Is Charged, Are Un- lawful.

There was no Georges Car pentier exhibition show at the Jefferson Theatre last night. Shortly after noon Brown Parkes, promoting the affair, was informed by Sheriff Harts- field that to carry out the programme arranged, to have Carpenter go through even a few exhibition tricks, would be violating the laws of the State of Alabama.
 There is section of the Alabama penal code. Section 7616 to be exact, which reads something like this
 Any fight between man and man, man and bull or any other animal, fights for prizes, championships or to which admission is charged. is hereby prohibited in the state of Alabama"
 This rough sketch of the real wording of the law, is the entire req son for the cancellation of the eXhibi- tion affair at the Jefferson last night.
 When Brown Parkes was notified that it was unlawful to put on the eX- n1Dltlon, there was nothing to do but call the event off. There is from two to five years penalty for the violation of the above statute.
 q understand that it was not the fault of Sheriff Hartsfield that the af- fair tonight was stopped" stated Brown Parkes last night. If certain reports may be relied upon. officials higher up ordered Hartsfield to halt the proceedings.
 ''Of course, I suffered a great finan- cial loss by the stopping of the exhi- bition bout. but the laws of the state must be abided by. There is nothing for me to do but oaccept the deci sion of the state officials"
 Money was refunded to those who had purchased tickets. Carpenter was paid his guarantee and the affair was quickly wound up.
 Parkes could have put on some kind of an exhibition. but Carpenter, the main drawing card. would not have been able to appear in the ring, dressed for battle. Parkes stated tha. he would rather pocket his loss than have the local sporting public feel that they had been enticed into putting our their money for show that did not come up te expectations or promises.
 Carpenter arrived in Birmingham at 7;59 last night over the A. c. $. rail road. He was informed of the latest developments, reached settlement with Parkes and left at 6:15 this morn ing.

ROUGH ON PARK ES,"
 IS OPINION OF ALL

"Rough on Brown Parkcs.- is the general decision of the local sporting public at large. at least if curbstone orations may be taken at their full value.
 Ii is the general opinion that the Birmingham promoter caught the rougs end of hard deal.
 Parkes lost quite heavily on the Carpenter venture, which turned out to be anything but a success. First, there was Carpenters guar antee to pay Sut. This was quit, large, as guarantees for exhibition bouts go.
 The cost of publicity was great. Ad vertisements were inserted in not onl! local papers, but also those of neigh boring towns. Billboards were GOV cred with advertisements of the af fair. Handbills were printed. The ex pense of all this was tremendous.
 It was a case of paying out al around with no intake whatever.
 And the peculiar part of the whol attair is that Parkes was not stoppe, In his arranging for the bout until al most time for the commencement 0 activities Had he been given fev days notice he might have saved a lit tie from the wreckage. As it was, h suffered a total loss.

PLAYERS ARE SORE,
 REPORTS HAVE TT

New Orleans, La. June 22.-(Spe- cial. )-Tim Murchison and Ray Neusel are no longer Pels. Murchison quit the team because, he says, he does not want to play in the Southern League and things were misrepresented to him before he came here.
 Neusel is sore because Dobbs kept him out of the game so often and says that if he cannot play ball every day he does not want to play at all and that he has quit the game for good.
 A. J. Heinamann, president of the New Orleans club, who got in from Memphis today, grabbed a law book right away to see what could be done to Murchison and Neusel and tonight he said that he would seek injunctions to stop Murchison and Neusel from playing anywhere in the south and sue any clubs that used them.
