PARK DEVELOPMENT AT GREEN SPRINGS
 PLANNED BY CLUB

The board of governors of the Op- timist club indorsed the proposal to make development of Green Springs park it's objective and to do all in its power to aid the city commission in that work.
 Following were named on a com mlttee to keep,in touch with the com mission on public affairs and to es- pecially present the cause of Green Springs park: M. P. Messer. Richard F. johnston, J M. F. Otts. ]. O.. Thompson and Judge Phares Cole man.
 This matter was proposed at the last meeting of the Optimist club and was enthusiastically taken up and referred to the board of governors. The latter acted promptly in the af- firmative and Green Springs park de- velopmenf thus becomes the concrete objective of the Optimist club
 4 municipal golf links Is one of the features of development aimed at Wading and swimming pools .lre others.
 The club will probably make effort to induce citizens or means to con- tribute to certain items in develop ment of the park. It has been sug gested that the Denver plan of nam ing swimming pools, parks or what not after the citizens who contribute the money for their establishment be adopted in Birmingham. It is under stood to have been a signal success In civic development in Denver.

Walter Moore Expresses
 Opinion On NelO Subject

enlisting the names of every Automo- bile owner in Alabama; and not only carrying his membership, but his CO., operation.
 There should be 1o,0 900 members of the Automobile club right here in Birmingham, and when this obtains the club can do a great many big things. For instance, the club could line up with the sheriff and his depu- ties and stop this wild joy riding, both day and night. It Is really not safe for a person to use his car at night with these wild, reckless driv- CTS out on the roads. Yesterday as I came in from my home at Roebdck Springs l saw two cars laid up on the side of the road smashed up, an- other example of joy riding.
 Life could be conserved and acci- dents avoided if the Birmingham Automobile club could get the back ing of the members and see that laws are enforced. Look what the Automobile club did. I mean what Charlie Davis. its president, and a faithful few did in getting the right of way for the Bee Line highway from Nashville to Blrminghaml That means thousands of tourists in Bir- minEham en route to Florida this winter, If the bridges are finished by that time, and think they will be.
 Birmingham people ought to look into tho Birmingham Automobile club and get Charlie Davis to tell them what he and his associates are doing, and get back of this organ ization, which is certainly a great asset to this city"

 D. G. Ewing and R. c. Tate, attor- ne-s for the defendant, objected to a continuance and askedif the man was not to be adjudged insane to allow the trial of the case to proceed.
 While witnesses were being exam ined Crenshaw, who was sitting in one of the jurors chairs, made a jump for the gate which separated the courtroom from the Judges bench and attorneys table, almost knocking it down. He fell in the floor and frothed at the mouth and it took six balliffs and other court officials to hold him. Heyfought them and they held him on the floor until he was exhausted. This created much ex- citement among the spectators in the courtroom and many made nasty exits

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 22.--The de-
tense in the trial of Roecoe ("Fatty")

slaughter in connection with the death
Of Miss Virginia Rappe, motion picture
actress, received somewhat of blow
to-day when it introduced its first wit

The witness was George Glennon, de-
tectivo at the hotel wherc Miss Rape
is alleged to have suffered an injury
thas caused her death after she was
taken from Arbuckle's suite to hos
pitai.
Before trial the defense announced
that Glennon had informed the District
Attorney that Miss Rape had exoner-
ated Arhuckle. When Glennon was put
on the stand and an effort made to
have him repeat this statement there
was vigorous objection by the prosecu-

The United States government yes
terday brought twenty-five suits in the
Federal District Court to recover more
than $4,000 in additional income taxes
for 1915 under decision in the United
States Supreme Court on Tuesday.
The Supreme Court, in three eases
appealed to it from decisions by lower
tribunals, held that shares of common
stock representing surplus issued as
dividend in exchange for other shares
Of stock in corporate reorganizatons
are taxable under the 1913 tax law.
Two of the cases were appeals brought
by john d. Rockefeller and the New
York Trust Company and Edith Hale
Hardness, executors of William L.
Harkness. a former Standard Oil mag
nate.
These appeals were for refunds of
taxes collected on stocks issued to
Rockefeller and Harkness in the sep
sration of the oil and gas business
from the pipe line business and the
necessary corporate rganizations.
The governments claim to taxes in
these cases was upheld in the lower
courts. The third case was all appeal
by the government from a decision by
the Court of Claims ordering refund
of taxes collected from c. W. phellis,
a stockholder in the Du Pont Powder
Company, on shares received as divi-
dend in r. reorganization Of the New
Jersey du Pont Company into Della
ware du Pont Company
Richard S. Holmes, Assistant United
States District Attorney. said yester-
day that the Supreme Courts ruling

rectors of seven copper mining com
panies, which were absorbed in 1910 by
the Anaconda Copper Mining Company,
to recover about 100000 in corpora
ton excise taxes for 1910. Among the
defendants are John D. Ryan. William
Rockefeller and Adolph Lewisohn.
According to Keith Lorenz, Assistant
United States District Attorney, the
government contends that the directors
failed to report as profits tor that
year $o,o09,063, represented by the IN
crease in the value Of the corporations
