Just a Song at Twilight"

tenor voice broke the irky stiffness

this old-time melody. Reaching the

low murmuring voices of three other
prisoners. When the song was COM

river, served TO increase the work
Of the office.
Jurisdiction Enlarged
In addition to this the jurisdic-
ton of the federal court has been so
much enlarged by various statutes
creating offenses against the federal
government which had not thereto
fore existed, to say nothing of the
national prohibition law, that the
work has become very exacting.
1.-TWO terms of court a year are
held in this district at seven places,
namely, Birmingham, Admission. Gads-
den, Huntsville, Florence. Jasper and
Tuscaloosa. 1t is only the untiring
diligence and the marvellous eXecu-
tive ability of Judge Grubb, together
with his quick and discriminating
legal mind, that enables one judge to
keep up with the fast growing dock
cts of these various courts.
Important Cases
During my administration 1t has
happened that a number of cases,
both civil and criminal. of great iri.-
pcrtance to the government have
been handled, and in referring to the
successful management of these mat
tiers, I desire to make acknowledge
ment of the loyalty and ability of my
assistants, and the men in the vari
Gus departments of the government
who had duties and responsibilities in
connection with the same. and to
give them credit in large measure
for such success.
ct has fallen to my lot to have
served under the following distin
guished Attorneys General of the
United States during my term: Hon.
Thomas w Gregory, Hon. Carol Todd
(acting), Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer
and Hon. H. NJ. Daugherty, the pres
ent incumbent
while ! realize it is great honor
to hold such an office under the
United States government, it is not
without relief that l shall lay down
the burdens of this position and de-
vote my undivided time to my pri-
waite law practice in Birmingham
giving attention as before to general
practice in all the courts. both state
and federal"

ERIE PETTUS QUITS
AS UNITED STA TES
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Resignation Is to Take Effect
at End of Year-WiII Re-
enter Private Law Practice

Erie Pettus of Birmingham. United
States attorney for the northern dis
triet of Alabama. has rendered his
resignation to the Attorney General
to take effect at the end of this year,
according to announcement made yes
terday.
He will resume the private practice
of law after over three years serv-
ice with the government during one
of the most important times of
American history.
Announcement of his resignation
comes at the close of the present
criminal court docket in the United
States court and following convlc-
ticns in the Jollitt bankruptcy con-
spiracy case, which was prosecuted
by his office.
His task as United States attorney
has been a busy one. due to many
issues which have come up since
the war and due to increased cases
caused by prosecution of the national
prohibtionf laws.
Explains Resignation
q have rendered my resignation as
United States attorney for the north
ern district of Alabama to the At
torney General to take effect at the
expiration of the term of the late
Hon. Robert N. Bell, whom / sue
ceeded, and whose term would have
expired the last of this year" MIR.
Pettus said.
when the vacancy occurred l was
appointed district attorney pro tenn
by order of the court for this dis
trict, presided over by Hon. w. l.
Grub. This temporary appointment
was made permanent by commission
from the President dated January 81,
1919. President Wilson was in Paris,
and this is one of the first commits
sions of this character which he
signed while in France. The execu-
tive appointment was promptly con-
firmed by the Senate.
Postwar Activities
1.-THE duties and responsibilities of
this office were very arduous in the
early part OF my administration, my
appointment having been made few
months after the signing of the armi-
stice. The disturbed condition of af-
fairs following the war, and the man
fold activities of the federal gov
eminent imposed heavy burdens upon
United States attorneys, and re-
quired constant care, and calm and
deliberate judgment.
1.-THE fact that during this time
the government has been engaged in
acquiring the title to large reserva-
tons of land in north Alabama, in
GLIDING the camp site at Admission,
the nitrate plants Nos. l ana 2, and
property connected with the Wilson
dam at Muscle Shoals, the forest res
ervation in counties in the northwest

Those who woke up this morning
expecting to find that the ground was

quite logically. The temperature be-
came a trifle warmer Sunday and last
night the United States weather bu-
reau announced that no change was
to be expected.
1t is predicted that no change will
occur for good or bad today and that

WILL MISS
BIRMINGHAM IN
MAKING BIC TOUR
Colonel Drake Wires It Is I'M
possible For Marshal To
Visit The Magic
City


Marshal Foch is not coming to
Birmingham.
All hopes that the outstanding
general of the great worlu war would
visit the Magic City were dispelled
upon the receipt of telegram last
evening by Edward W. Barrett, ed
itor of The Age Herald from Col,
Francis E. Drake, who is an official
member of the Foch party, now in
New York.
Marshal Foch has started on a tour
which will last until December 10,
and bring him back to New York
The trip will take him to Canada, the
Pacific northwest and back to WASH
ingtoni d. c.. through the south.
thence via New England to New
York.
1t has been expected ever since
Capt Matt Murphy visited France
with the official American Legion
delegation that Marshal Foch would
visit the city.
Hnd Expressed Hope
He had expressed a hope that he
might visit Bethlehem, Pa, and Bir
miHgham. Americas two great steel
centers, when he came to the United
States for the American Legion con-
vention, which was held recently at
Kansas city.
The city commissions, Birmingham
pest No. / of the American Legion
and the state department of the
American Legion had each issued
formal invitations to the French war
hero.
Word was expected daily that
Marshal Foch would visit the city. a
committee composed of Captain
Murphy, chairman; Jell<s Cabaniss.
Walter Brewer. Dr. C. G. Wiley and
Col. Walter &c. Bare, had been APP
pointed by the legion to handle re-
ception plans in event of favorable
answer.
Disappointing News
News that Marshal Foch will not
visit the city Will be received with
disappointment and regret in Bir-
mingham. The city had recently
shown its splendid ability to enter
tain a dgnitary upon the visit OF
President Warren G.. Harding during
the Semi Centennial, and was expec-
tant of the honor of entertaining the
former commander of the allied
armies.
The following telegram was re-
ceived last night from Colonel Blake
at New York, addressed to Mr.. Bar
rett:
"Unhappily the marshal will be un-
able after all to visit Birmingham.
His return sailing date and long trip
across the continent necessitates
schedule reduction. Have personally
done my best, but committee has
been forced to cut our many pro-
posed visits. Family sends best love
to yours. FRANCIS l.. DRAKE"
Colonel Drake. who lives in Paris,
is commander of the French division
OF the American Legion.
Plans to Entertain
Marshal Foch was the guest of Mr..
and Mrs. Delaney Kountz in New
York city. In event of his visit here
IL was planned to entertain him at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Barrett.
Because of Colonel brakes high
standing in legion circles, and the
fact that he was a member OF the
official party which accompanied
Marshal Foch from France, it was
expected he could bring influence to
bear to have the marshal visit Bir-
mingham, and he had been bending
every effort to effect a decision to
include Birmingham upon the tim
erary.
