''I desire to enter my protest
 against ehe political mass meeting
 scheduled for Sunday afternoon,
 called by some Of the ladies of Bir-
 min ngham to inquire into certain
 matters in which Nr. Gwin is di-
 rectly interested. There is req
 son why this meeting should he
 held on the Sabbath day. and if held
 at that time it will establish
 precedent calculated to work un-
 told iDjury.-
 While Dr. Wells statement on the subject is the first made in public, there has been considerable discussion of the fact that this is the first mass meeting for a purely political purpose which has been called in Birmingham for Sunday in many years.
 The ladies who arranged the meeting, however are understood to have given this phase of the matter careful con- sideration. They reached the conclu- sion to hold the meeting on Sunday because of the fact that they wanted especially to give opportunity to the business and professional women of the city to attend, and it, was contended that they would not be able to be pres ent in large numbers if the meeting were called on a week day.
 They urge that ladies could not wei attend a night meeting and that Sun day afternoon offered the only oppor- tunity for them to be present at 2 m meeting which men are not to attend.

STILES ID HANDLE COAL DISTRIBUTION Probate Judge Appointed Fuel
 Administrator for Jeffer- son County

J. P. Stiles, judge of probate of Jeff ferson county, has been appointed county fuel administrator by HarweH G. Davis, state fuel administrator AppIica- tions for coal from the staate fuel ad- ministration must be made to him. Pros bate judges in all counties will act as administrators for their respective counties.
 MT. Davis statement follows:
 The probate judges have been ap- pointed county fuel administra tors, who will furnish information relative to securing coal. Application for coal should be made through and approved by them.
 By contract between the governor and more than 100 of the largest coai operators in Alabama, the state fuel adminfstrator has been assured suffi- clent coal to meet the current indus trlal and domestic needs of the state.
 however, this coal is not all availa bIe at one time. A sufficient amount is available to keep the needs of the state supplied thirty days in advance. It fol- lows that the success of the coal ad> minlstration, in keeping every section supplied. depends upon the co-opera, ton of all parts of the state by making application for only such amount as IS necessary to meet the current needs Tor twenty or thirty days in advance. Domestic coal will be furnished for domestic use only and must be usec only for such purposes, otherwise .here would not be sufficient lump coal to supply the demand
 1t IS contemplated that the retail trade will be handled through retai, dealers To secure proper distribution retailers are requested to pro rate coal furnished them, not furnishing any one over thirty days in advance If, how ever, no retail dealer will undertake to handle coal for a community at a reasonable price, coal will be shipped directly to clubs of consumers. Indus tries which buy steam coal in carload lots may have the coal shipped directly to them.
 until a fair price is named. those handling coal secured through the state fuel administrator must report sales ana prices of sales in order that this office may have a check on the dis, position of the coal and the price raid by the consuming public"

PRESS MEETING IS
 CALLED BY JULIAN
Editors and Publishers Re- quested to Give Support to
 Seaport Amendment

Frank N. Julian, president of the meeting of that body to convene al the rooms of the Civic Association, Bir- mingham, on Friday, october 22. It is called as a meeting of the executive letter is addressed to all officers and members, and all are urged to attend
 The editors and publishers will sbe entertained at luncheon by the Civic gin at 2 D. m., according to the pro- gramme outlined by the president, who gives the information that business of importance is to be transacted at that time.
 One of the subjects before the execu- tive committee is that of fixing the date and place of the next annual meet ing Questions affecting the publish ing business also are 10 be discussed
 In letter to editors and publishers whom he thinks should be members, as well as those who have paid the annual dues of g and who are affiliated with the association, President Julian re- QutSlS HIS VI tut PicSo lo E iNc what support they can to the seaport amendment campaign. He says:
 Tn view of the fact that the cam paign committee of the seaport amend ment have made no attempt to ride the press of Alabama, a willing horse, which has almost been ridden to death and in view of the further fact that the committee has paid for considerable space used by them; and because of the additional fact that the seaport amendment is of vital interest to the entire state. as it provides for the removal of the prohibition in the con stitution which prohibits the develop ment or operation by the state of har- bors and seaports within it's jurisdic- tion, we think that it would be entire ly proper and of advantage to the commonwealth if the members of the Alabama press association would take occasion to induce their readers to vote for the amendment on Novem- Der g."
 The press association is growing in m mbe rship and effectiveness under the direction of President Julian. who is editor of the Sheffield Standard, and Secretary James H. Hard of Birming ham. It is probable that the executive committee will launch drive to bring all of the editors and publishers who are eligible in as members.

that the Jews control the press of America is untrue" said Dr. Newfieid. The New York Times is the only big daily owned by a Jew. It does not have Jewish editors Of all the news paper writers in the country only 5 per cent are Jews. This is also true of the news agencies, such as the Associated Press, the International and others.
 Equally false is the accusation that the finances of the country are in the control of the Jew. Recent statistics show that of the 30 multi rnillionaires in the United States, who have a con- trol of s4,000,000, 1000, only two were Jews. They are the late Jacob H. Schiff and Julius Rosenwald of Chi cago.
