JUDGE LOCKE CHARGED WITH HAVING LIQUID
 IN HIS POSSESSION

Life Insurance" was the subject Of an address delivered before the mem bers of the Exchange club at the reg ular weekly luncheon at the Southern club yesterday afternoon by Edmond Armes. The talk of Mr. Armes which was an instructive exposition of the life insurance business in its larger and more important work.
 Some little excitement was created at the meeting by the forced entrance of an officer, supposed to represent the state law enforcement department After making apology for his entrance at this private meeting, he stated that he had reason to believe that at least two members of the club had liquor in their possession, and despite the pro- test of the members, hurried search was made of Judge Hugh A. Locke. president of the club, and l.. Saint John Smith. Upon each of these, the officer declared he found a half pint flask of whiskey Saint John Smith was excused because of his name, but Judge Locke was taken into custody and carried from the room. It devel- oped later, however, that cold tea was the only ingredient of the contraband flask, and the officer deeply chagrined, allowed the president to return to the room and resume the chair.

ASKS FRIENDSHIP
 FOR ALIENS HERE
Major Morgan Addresses Civic Forum on Assimilation of
 Newcomers

Treatment of foreigners who have become American citizens with more friendliness, was asked by Major Will liam T. Morgan. overseas veteran, who addressed the Civic forum luncheon at the Civic Association yesterday after noon
 Major Morgan declared America should study the foreigner and see what he has to offer our civilization instead of condemning all that he is and has.
 .'We belittle and make fun of the Italian, the Chinaman and the Jap while his civilization began lonx be- fore our ancestors stopped getting their food through the medium of the chase" Major Morgan told his audi ence.
 "America mistreats the Foreigner who has become citizen, allows his children to be slanderec and made fun Of by native born children. They are cast off to themselves and not ac cepted into American life where they can learn American ideals.
 We do not notice them, nor try to Americanize them until some trouble starts Then we rush in and destroy their homes, or place them behind bars.''
 Cultivation of our foreign element Is necessary to the continued welfare of the United States, Major Morgan said. Unless we take stops to eliminate the problem, America is doomed. he de- clared.

FREDERICK GUNSTER
 IN RECITAL TONIGHT
Noted Tenor Champions Ameri- can CompoSitions-CoIortul
 Programme Arranged

Frederick Gunster, widely known tenor, will be heard in recital to- might at the Jefferson theatre under the auspices of the Music Study club. Mrs. Edna Gockel-Gussen will be ac- companist
 MT. Gunster states that he prizes the engagement here most highly as he was a resident of the city for four years and looks upon Birmingham all most as his home. He left the city in 1916 to travel on the concert stage. Mrs. Gunster is an Alabamian, born in Montgomery. She spent the greater part of her life in Birmingham They have a host of friends here and an overflow crowd is expected at the con- cert tonight.
 American composers find a ready champion in MT. Gunster, who styles himself as "an American tenor who is for American music" His pro- gramme tonight will be in two parts. the first part will include songs by foreign composers sang in English the second part will be devoted almost en- tirely to American compositions.
 T have little patience with singers who say that singing in French is much easier than singing in English, and that the French and Italian lan- guages lend themselves more to sing ing than the English said MT. Guns ter. "The first thing that is neces- sary, of course, to have is the voice, and the ability to sing, and if one has these it makes no difference whether one sings in English or French.
 If singers will pronounce words as they should be pronounced, they will find that it is possible to sing as well in English as it is in French or Italian language for singers to enunciate more clearly, and if they would take the same care with the English language, they would find that it is just as musical as the others.
 The programme tonight is fulfil of color and variety. Opening are two songs from the sixteenth and seven teenth centuries, composed by Italian artists. Then follow four modern French songs. and one from the Aus trian. These are all sung in English. Three Russian song numbers follow all rendered in English except Mon Pays!" by A. Gretchaninoff for which MT Gunster has been unable to find any adequate translation.
 The second part is composed of all American compositions. with the ex- ception of three, one of which. Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" by Quilter, being English, My Lagan Love-" ar ranged from an old Ulster song by Hamilton Harty. and Kitty, My Love, Will You Marry Me- another Ulster song arranged by Herbert Hughs.
