ALABAMA BANKS INTERESTED IN
 CASE SENT BACK FOR TRIAL

Montgomery, June 23.-(SpeciaD.- - Banks throughout Alabama are in- terested in a decision of the supreme court Thursday which held that the case of Amanda Williams versus the First National Bank of Montgomery must be tried again. The woman sued the bank for three hundred dol lars, contending that she was refused this money when it was called for. The bank contended that the money had been drawn out by the plaintiff and that it's records showed the clos Ing of the account. No other ev,- dence was offered in support of the banks contention.
 A judgment was affirmed by the with interest was rendered by jury in the Montgomery circuit court and the Judgement was affirmed, by the court of appeals. The supreme court reversed the judment on the ground that the suit filed by the defendant did not show that the plaintiff ever made formal demand for the money which she claimed to have deposited This means another trial of the issue in the Montgomery circuit court.
 Banks were interested because the system of bookkeeping which they have used for all time was involved It has been the custom of banks to place amounts of deposits in pass books, the books being the only re- ceipts. When checks covering the deposit are drawn they are cashed and are returned to the depostor at regular intervals. When checks are returned the only evidence of the completed transactions has been on the ledgers of the banks. The court of appeals in it's opinion said the sys- tenn was defective which did not furnish better evidence that the money had been returned to the de- positor then the books of the bank.
 Even the decision of the supreme court does not settle the issue as it is based on the fact that the plaintiff failed to allege in her suit that she had made formal demand on the bank for the return of the money.
 Since original decision of the court of appeals in this case several months ago the Montgomery banks have re- quired depositors to give receipts for the cancelled checks when they are returned

 ALASKAN IN NEW YORK

Word received at Juneau is that former Attorney-General and former Delegate George B. Grigsby of Alaska is attorney for Tex Rickard in the litigation involving the receivership for his Madison Sqnare Garden enter tainment enterprise and in other mat ters.

RANKIN PUTS IN
BILLS PROVIDING
FOR TOMBIGBEE

Congressman John Rankin has m
troduced two separate bills in the
Lower House of Congress providing
for a survey and the improvement of
the Tombigbee river.
One bill is to provide for a survey
of the Tombighee river in Alabama
and Mississippi, and the survey of a
canal connecting the Tennessee and
Tombigbee rivers" the bill having
been referred to the committee on
rivers and harbors.
| The other bill provides for an ap-
preparation for the Improvement of
the Tombigbee river in the State of
Mississippi and in Alabama. This
bill was referred TO the same commit
tee for consideration.
While the Improvement of the
Tombigbee may seem to many to be
IN the offing, and a remote POSSIBLE

touch with the situation that the
chance for the Improvement of the
stream are better now that they have
ever been before
Congressman Rankin is at least OPP
timistie and he is planning with the
view of having things in shape when
