states, which are prohibited by the constitution of the United States. If no appeal Is taken from the decision, the department of conservation will proceed 10 collect 5 cents a barrel on all shrimp caught In Alabama. At present residents of other states are paying 20 cents a barrel. when they are permitted to take their shrimp at all. However under recent orders ( f the conservation department. issued under Section 8, noneresidents are prohibited to take the shrimp to other states. John H. Wallace, Jr., commissioner of conservation, could not say whether or not an appeal will be taken. MT. Elmer lost his fight on the section of the act which requires nonresidents to pay double license. a license for the privilege of operating a boat with seine at tached, and an additional license for the operation of the seIns. Judge Clayton held that this double license was well within the right of the leg islature. Commissioner Wallace was represented at the hearing by Hugh White, special assistant attorney general. while MT. Elmer was repre- sented by J. T. Stokely of Birning- ham.

WHITE PASTOR OF NEGRO CHURCH IS
 ON WAY ID NORTH
Tar and Feather Victim Changes Mind in Regard to Staying in Miami, Though
 Protection Offered
By Associated Press

Miami, Fla, July 19.-The Rev. Phillip s. Irwin. white pastor of a negro Episcopal church, who was tarred and feathered Sunday night boarded a train here late today for new York He declared he would not leave the United States, as he was warned to do by his kidnapers under threats of lynohing.
 Irwin yesterday issued a statement saying he would remain in Miami and continue in his pulpit. He changed his plans today, however after conference with Bishop Cameron Mann, presiding officer of the South Florida district of the Episcopal church, and city and coun- ty authorities. Irwin was told that he would be given full protection of the law if he decided to remain in Miami, Sheriff Allen ofSering to place two deputies at his home for a day and night duty while Chief of Police Dillon said he also would assign two patrolmens to guard the clergy mans house.
 "I am leaving Miami of my own volition." Irwin declared, "even though I have been offered the pro
  British vice consul. l believe it would be the best for all concerned that l leave on account of the intense feel ing it stirred up against me by re- ports that I had preached social equality and inter- marriage of the races, despite the fact that these re- ports are false. At first I decided to stay and face the consequences, but after giving careful consideration to the matter, l decided that even if I remained, further work here would be under handicap and would pos sibly lead to much bitterness and trouble between the races.
 The city and county authorities told me plainly that l probably would be killed if I remained. l am going to New York where I will re- quest my superiors in the church to give me an assignment in another section of this country, where l will not be understood"
 The grand jury investigation or the incident continued today. Irwin again appeared and denied that he had preached social equality.
 Bishop Mann issued statement toni ght in which he flatly denied that Irwin had preached radical doctrines and defended the work of the clergyman among his negro con gregation here.

Samuel Tellis Seay. the first Dallas county soldier, to en- list from outside of Selma. will be re- turned 10 his home for burial. The bodies of Corp.

GOOD WORK RENDERED

Moulton, July 19.-(Speclal. J. Although the Red Cross home serv- ice department has not been organ ized at Moulton for the past several months as recognized work by the Red Cross, yet the service rendered by Miss Clara Stewart during the time has been almost equal to that when she acted in the recognized ca pacity of secretary. In one week seven applicants for financial assist ance, help. in securing unpaid bonds. securing insurance information, etc, were given attention, and almost as many more each week call for help. Owing to general financial conditions local funds were not raised for a continuation of the work which does so much for ex-seryice men, and it appears that the American Legion would in itself be justified in taking up the ma tier to secure funds for the future.

DENY APPEARANCES
 ON FRANCHISE TAX
Only Hope Is for Appeal to the Supreme Court, and That
 Is Small
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-HeraId 221-2 First National Bank RuiIdine


 Montgomery, July 1s.-(Special)- Rehearings in the cases involving the right of the state to collect franchise taxes from banks and corpora tions which have been exempted from all taxation for several years were denied by the court of appeals in rulings on applications for rehear- ings Tuesday afternoon. The only corporations now is an appeal to the supreme court, and this hope is small because the original decisions of the appellate court were rendered on au- thority of a memorandum opinion of the supreme court which held that the constitution requires the collec- ton of franchise taxes from all cor porations.
 The rulings were made in the cases of the state against the Elba Bank and Trust company and the state against the Pea River Power com pany. This victory for the state means the collection by the state treasury of an amount variously esti- mated at from $500,000 to $1 1000, 900 In the collection of the franchise tax the state may go back as far as 1911, some corporations being required to pay the tax for II years.
 The appellate court also denied the application for rehearing filed by ,-lo 1e J1ff sentenced to 20 years for mayhem. Tn this case Presiding Judge Bricken rendered an opinion in which he said the time had come to stop the pleas of insanity in cases where the defen- dants had never shown signs of in sanity until trouble knocked at thei. doors. The opinion has been com mcnted on generally throughohut the state.

 JITNEY HITTING
 HIGH FARE HARD

Gadsden, July 19.-(Special.) )-The matter of regulating or not to regu- late the jitneys seems to be the ab- sorbing question in the minds of the city officials of Gadsden, Alabama City and Attalla. So far Gadsden has refused to take any stand for or against. but in Alabama City the council placed heavy license on them Over in Attalla the council last night side-stapped the question until the next regular meeting.
 The jitney is fast demoralizing the street car service of the Alabama Power company since the rate was raised to 14 cents for the round trip, and the jitneys are carrying fully so per cent of the people and at the old rate of 10 cents.
