New stadium roreca.t


 The Junior Chamber of Com merce, one of the livest organiza- tions in the city, Is now starting a movement of gigantic propor- tions. It Is seeking to get co-op- eration from all the schools mad colleges playing in Birmingham. in an effort to erect football stadium that will seat 3o,o00 spectators. Whether this support will be forthcoming remains to be seen. however. and many there are who doubt the feasibility of such an idea at this time. It was pointed out by one Birmingham man Wednesday that some of the schools who play here annually are tied up with Redwood park on long-term contracts. Another man. well versed in the ath- letic situation here. said he was afraid a new, stadium would be detrimental to the ultimate completion of Munger field.
 It is known that Mir. Munger's plans call for completion of the field which he gave Birmingham Southern college, and which bears his name. A concrete stand Is to be erected and a concrete en- closure, with a seating capacity of 2o.0oo to start with, and an additional 10000 to be added at later date. The building of new stadium elsewhere in the city might give this plan setback of several years. Those who are In touch with the situation state that Mir. Munger plans to spend Slo0.o00 on the stadium.
 With. Rickwood field available. the Munger stadium in the offing. and Howard starting to work on the new field presented by w. A. Berry. and the proposed new sta dium fostered by the junior chamber, 1t would scem Birming- ham would possess superfluity of fields on which 10 stage grid iron contests.

Deal Causes Speculation

The midwinter upheaval at Buff falo, where it was announced that George Burns and Mike Con zales, accompanied by s100.000, had been sent to Cincinnati in exchange for Heinie Groh for Giant delivery. started the fans to speculating what shifts Me Graw was anticipating on the Giant infield.
 Frisch, of course, is a fixture at the third cushion, unless Mc- Graw decides to use him else- where on the infield. Frisch played good ball for the Giants last season. Rawlings, supposed to be weak sister at second. came through in grand style dur ing the world series. Captain Bancroft said something about retiring during the championship tilt. Maybe after all, the Giant captain was sincere. The guess Is. however. that Rawlings will be the Giant to get the bench. due to the acquisition of Heinie.

SEES PERIL IN FRICTION
WITH DARKER RACES
Prof. Fleming Points to Pre-
ponderoncc of Numbers.

The Rev. Daniel johnson Fleming.
professor of missions at Union Theo-
logical Seminary. issued a warming
against arousing the antagonism OF the
darker races In an address yesterday
before the midsummer conference OF
ministers and religious workers at the
seminar, Broadway and 10th street.
"There are 550,0OO,0 900 of the light race
In the world as opposed to 1.150. 600, 600
Of tse darker peoples" he said. For
safety sake interracial friction must be
lessened. The white race doubles Its
number in eighty years. the brown race
In sixty, the black in forty. 1t Is popu-
lar to bellows that the other races than
the white have the same potential ca
pacity for accomplishment, but eci-
entists have never been able to prove
this.
1.-THE aftermath Of the war has left
many hatreds. Some OF the Arabs now
pray. God curse England. Africans
who feel that France has been too hard
on them no longer love that country as
they did. China now says she hates
Japan first and England second and
that she loves America first and Ger
many next There is finder here for a
great conflagration."
DR.. Fleming said the 5000 mission
aries in foreign fields should consider
themselves ambassadors In working for
better understanding between the races.

LIQUOR IN TRANSIT
RULING Is ATTACKED
Right to Seize Goods Shipped
From One Foreign Country
to Another Tested.

Judge Learned Hand will hear argu-
ments in the United States District Court
this morning in suit designed to test
the right of the Government to forbid
the transshipment at an American port
of liquor shipped from one foreign coun-
try to another.
The suit is brought by Robert II. Blake,
agent for the anchor Line, British
steamship company. He seeks an in
junction restraining George w. Aldridga
Collector of this port. from selling five
cases of Scotch whiskey shipped from
Glasgow on the steamship Cameronia,
due to arrive early next week. The
Anchor Line is under contract to trans
fer the whiskey to a vessel OF the Quebec
Steamship Company for delivery at Ham
ilton, Bermuda.
Under a ruling of Acknowledgement
Daugherty, followed by an order from
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, the
customs officials, beginning July Is. have
had to refuse transportation and ex-
portation entries for all intoxicants not
covered by prohibition permits. Liquor
coming into port without such permits
even IL 1t is destined for an alien port
must be seized.
The Anchor Line says that this ruling
violates Anglo-American treaties. es-
pecially the trade treaty of 1871. 1t also
contends in the bill in equity filed In
the Federal Court that the Attorney
General has misinterpreted the prohibi-
ton act. because the Eighteenth Amend
ment did not empower Congress to
regulate the transshipment of liquor
when not intended for use in this coun-
try.
Franklin B. Lord of Lord, Day & Lord,
who filed the bill for the Anchor Line,
said: Under the provisions of the reve-
nue. laws merchandise arriving In the
United States destined for foreign coun-
tries can be conveyed in transit through
the United States without the payment
of duties, under bond; that is, bond Is
given conditioned on the merchandise
being taken out of the United States.
Since the prohibition act and up to the
present time intoxicating liquors have
been shipped through the United States
under this provision without the inter.
ference of the United States authorities
