one and has made a profound i'm
preston or patrons of that theatre.
Norman Kerry and Zena V. Keefe

aires the world over than any other
| motion picture actress. will be at the
Ditmas theatre tomorrow in her new
William Fox feature, Beyond Price"
In Beyond Price she has a story
that at times is as thrilling as any
serial, though essentially a Ugh class
comedy. The story is of a neglected
wife who in her despair wishes she
were the wife of a millionaire, that
she were a famous woman, and that
she might feel the clasp of baby arms.
Before the picture is finished all of
these wishes are granted to her.
With her gorgeous blonde beauty

many complications arise that fur
nish the opportunity for some up
roariously funny situations.

TRENTON, July 20:-The convic-
ton of Samuel Solomon and Max
Nieberg, two Newark saloonkeepers,
on charges of selling whiskey adul
terated with wood alcohol and caus-
ing the death of two men is affirmed
by the supreme court in opinions
tust filed. Nieberg was found guilty
IN the Essex county court May b,
1920, and Solomon was convicted in
the same our June 26, 1920. Each
DEFENDANT was sentenced to state
prison for from two to three years
and to pay a fine of $1,000.
Writs Of error were obtained and
strenuous legal fights were made to
have the convictions set aside, but
the supreme court rules against them
on all the grounds claimed as rea-
sons for reversal. The general doc
trine handed down by the supreme
court in the cases will probably
make dealers in bootleg liquor and
doctored whiskey more wary of how
they dispose of it.

TAX Advocated
FOR FAIRGROUNDS
M'Lendon and Harrison Favor
Tax-City Attorney to
Pass on Legality

Plans are being discussed by d.
Z. McLendon, president of the city
commission. and Commissioner ". L.
Harrison of parks and Fairgrounds,
on the advisability OF levying one
mill tax to be used for the develop
ment of parks and Fairgrounds In
Birmingham. There seems to be
difference of opinion around the city
hell regarding this plan, and w. J
Wynn, city attorney, has been asked
TO investigate and give the commits
sioners an opinion on the legality of
this matter.
1t is pointed out that the levy OF
this tax would bring approximately
$4,000, which would be an increase
of 100000 as the present appropria-
ton is $4,000. 1t is stated that sew
eral years ago an amendment to the
constitution was voted providing the
levying of a 5-mill tax for general
purposes and any additional levy viii
have to he voted by the people of
Birmingham.
However, some are of the opinion
that 1 mill of this tax voted at that
time is still available and may be
collected without a vote of the peo-
pie being necessary. Several attor-
neys when approached on the subject
declared that in order to levy this
tax it would be necessary for the
people of Birmingham to pass on II.
Should the tax be levied II will
provide a fund for the maintenance
Of the present parks and Fairgrounds
and for the purchase of additional
ones in the city. Mr.. Wynn Will
probably hand down an opinion
within the next few days.
