 MT. Dixon was followed by represen- tatives of the Ala bama Home and the Jefferson County Building and Loan association. Both backed up what he had said and also urged co-opera- tion on the part of the real estate men.
 "The building and loan associations cannot make move that does not di- rectly affect the interests of the real estate and insurance agent declared R. F. Johnston, of The Age-Herald ed- itorial staff who also spoke before the board yesterday.
 Real estate men should realize as all others should that community is a mass of persons in the same place or residence dependent on one apoth- CT and that none can escape the we'll being or the misfortunes of another"
 Alex Dearborn, Jr., read an article on the Birmingham Flying club and the new aero unit of the national guard, which it is hoped will be locat- ed here. committee was appointed to aid the work of furthering the project.

 In accordance with an agreement with James Weatherly, attorney for a number of jitney men, the ordinance went over when the meeting yesterday morning at 10 o'clock came to order. Vigorous protests were made by Com missioner Burruss, who voted one to four against postponement of action.
 The motion for postponement was made by Commissioner John R. Horna- dy and seconded by Commissioner John H. Taylor
 Jitney men are set against the routes which the city commission has pro- posed to put into effect One jitney operator declared he would "see wheth- CT the commission would put him off Twentieth street after he had already paid for license subject to no such restrictions"
 Commissioner Burruss. in a state ment issued yesterday, declared that he regarded the ordinance as worse than none, if insurance features were stricken from it, and that 1t was pure iy case of playing with a serious question.
 T will fight to the end any attempt to pass an ordinance which does not contain insurance or bond features" said MT. Burruss.

60,000 TOURISTS 10
 PASS THROUGH CITY
Commissioner Tells of Bene- fits From Completion of
 Bee Line Highway

Plans were completed for the Bee Line highway which will go from Nashville to Tallahassee, Florida, at a meeting of the Central Boosters committee in AL bany yesterday. This statement was made last night by l.. F. Sessions, mem Der of the county commission of Dale county who stopped over in Birmingham en route to his home in Ozark
 'The establishment of this Bee line will mean that an average of 60,000 tourists will use it and pass through Birmingham each year." said Mir Sessions. 'I am glad indeed to say that the bad swamp in Dale county has been removed now and we have erected bridge at a cost of s100,000 with one-half mile of paved road to the approaches This eliminates all trouble for tourists in so far as our county is concerned and we have 4S miles of the highway. On May Ii Ozark voted $l50.000 bond issue by majority of eS9 and we have recently established tourists camp for the benefit of tourists.
 "one of the splendid things about this highway is the fact that all counties have pledged themselves to keep the roads in good condition and this means that the best route to Florida is via the Bee line.
 Birmingham already has camp for tourists and with the new route open through this city 1t will draw many vis- itors to this district and with good roads in the other counties along the route there is no reason why this should not become one of the most popular thor oughfares in the south.'
 MT. Sessions was accompanied to Bir- mingham by c. M. Cox, also of Ozark.

SUSPICION OF CAR .OWNER NOT ENOUGH FOR CONF|SCAT|ON
High Court Reverses Lower Tribunal In Decision of Much Interest to Prohibition En-
 forcement Officers

Suspicion of an automobile owners connivance in the use of the car by another to transport liquor is not suf- ficient to condemn the property, ac- cording to an opinion of the supreme court.
 This opinion. which was received in the chancery division of the circuit court yesterday, was rendered by the appellate court in reversing the de- cision of Judge Hugh A. Locke in con- demning car
 NOT TOO HARSH
 The supreme court holds that while the prohibition law should be strictly enforced in courts, It must not be so harshly administered as to work a condemnation of property upon the mere suspicion of it's owners knowl- edge that the car is to be used for the purpose of transporting liquors in violation of the prohibition law.
 This case grew out of the condem- nation proceedings instituted against a. Liberty automobile owned by Mrs. M. | Glass which was seized while being used, It IS dlleSeu, by sam I1oWdIu to carry liquor According to the tes- timony of Mrs. Glass, their farm was adjoining that of Howard and he had borrowed the car for the purpose of hauling some feed to the farms of both. She claimed that he had on several ether occasions borrowed the automo- bile for that purpose and she knew nothing of his hauling liquor in the car.
 PREVIOUS PROPER USE
 The court held that in view of the proper and legal use made of this car by Howard on previous occasions, when borrowed from Mrs. Glass for the same ostensible purpose. It does not sufficiently appear from the evidence that she was put upon notice that he might use it differently and illegally on the occasion in question.
 The supreme court reversed the de- cision of the lower court and ordered the car returned to it's owner.

 IS BRINGING ABOUT. ECONOMIC METHODS.
Agricultural Agent Declares Depression Will Be to the UI- timate Good of the
 Southern Farmer

Roland Turner, general agricultural agent of the Southern railway, de- clares that, hard as it has been, the low price of cotton and the agricul- tural depression brought on by it, have been of ultimate good in that the loss caused the southern farmer to think and believe in economic meth ods as he has never done before.

Farmers were loading that on their wagons and carryink it out to feed stock. I inquired the freight rate on the hay. They told me it was SIP per ton. It had come from a place in In- diana.
 "Gossiping around with the farmers, one had first something to say about how the Manchurian peanut was eat Ing him up alive and another had his idea of-how the government might help him through a tariff.
 RAISE ENOUGH HAY
 T suggested to a bunch of these fel- lows who had failed to raise enough hay to feed their stock and was buy ing northern hay at $50 per ton that the freight rate of SIP per ton on the hay which they were about to carry to their farms was as good a tariff as they wanted. l asked them if they did not believe that they could raise hay for $6 per ton. They agreed that they could and several said that they would hereafter.
