An answer to the petition of William Vaughan, Jr., asking for modification of the divorce decree giving the custody of his four-year-old son, William Dud- ley Vaughan, to Mrs. Edwin Torgerson, his former wife, was filed in the chan cery court by Mrs Torgerson yesterday. She alleges that her former husband is not the proper person to have the cus- tody of the child.
 Mrs Torgerson, in her answer, recites that she is fit and proper person to have the care and custody of the child. The answer sets forth that she married Edwin Torgerson and denies that the en- yironment in which they now live is not to their best Interest and denies that tie boy will not have proper moral and re- ligious training.
 Mrs. Torgerson denies that she moved the child out of the jurisdiction of the court in disregard to the courts orders, or that her former husband, William Vaughan is deprived of any of the rights given him under the original decree. She alleges that he is morally and tempera- mentally unfitted to look after the train ing and welfare of their child.
 This answer was filed in response to ruling of Judge A. B. Foster several days ago holding her in contempt of court for removing the child from the jurisdiction of this court Hearing on the merits of tAe case is set for to- morrow

 ENTER RACE HERE

Assurance that the army would en- ter a balloon in the national balloon race to start from Birmingham May 21 was given yesterday when tele- graphic advices from Washington stated that Col. F. D. Lahm of the ali. service would pilot an army balloon at his own expense.

INLAND WATERWAY OF MUCH BENEFIT ID WIDE SPREAD AREA
Merchants In Many Cities Take Advantage of Low Freight
 Rates on Warrior River N

Every time one of the self-propell- CTS comes from New Orleans with an up-river load, additional cities in the 20 per cent rate territory receive con signments of goods.
 The self-propeller Birmingham will dock at Cordova this evening. Mer- chants in the following cities have bills of goods aboard:
 Sylacauga, Montgomery, Opelika. De- cstur, Amory, Miss; Hartselle, Chatta- nooga, Atlanta, Centreville, Corinth Miss; Birmingham; Rome. Ga; Athens and Anniston.
 Almost half the cargo was taken off at Tuscaloosa, merchants of that city being especially alert to the advantages of the 20 per cent saving in freight by way of the river The total cargo embraces 3l0 tons and consists of lard, feed. salt, bran, coffee, burlaps and rice.
 Marked feature of the up-river cargoes of the self-propellers is that patrons of this Warrior service include many cities on other Alabama river courses. Athens and Hartselle are tributary to the Ten nessee river, Montgomery to the Ala bama, Gadsden to the Coosa and the Mississippi towns to the Tombigbee, while Rome, Ga, is also on the Coosa
 Inland waterway advocates have called attention to the widespread area bene- fited by the development of the Warrior and hold it out as an argument for de- velopn1ent of the port of Mobile at the mouth of the Warrior. Newton w. Guice' commercial agent of the Warrior route said:
 "The wide stretch of the territory bene- fitting from use of the Warriors low freight rates shows that what is good for one part of Alabama is good for another. Development on any inland stream is oi equal benefit to all the state. It na- turally follows that port development will certainly be of like benefit to all, Alabama has only one port and only one outlet to foreign peoples When Alabamians once understand that there will be no trouble about voting bonds To. port developments"
 Warrior river management expects the new self-propeller, the Gulfport, to be in service within 30 days at the latest She will then join the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa in the Brming gham-New Or l leans service.

Plans for the construction of frame parsonage by members of the First Christian church at Ensley, Avenue F and Twenty first street, to be located on the rear of the church lot, must be changed to specify fire proof material if the parsonage is to be built, accord ing to the city commission.

COUNTY WILL PAY
 FOR ANALYSIS OF
 BOOTLEG LIQUOR

County funds may be used to pay for the analysis of liquor seized by officers and suspected of containing wood alcohol or other poisoning, according to an opin- ion of Solicitor Joseph R. Tate to the board of revenue of Jefferson county.
 The opinion of the solicitor as to the authority of the county to pay for chemi- cal analysis of suspected liquor was re- quested by Judge H. B. Abernethy of the Jefferson county court of misdemeanors. Judge Abernethy recently announced that all bootleg liquor brought into his court and suspected of containing poison would be analysed, and when shown to contain poisons, the extreme penalty of the law will be imposed upon persons found gSlty of peddling it.
 Mr. Tate, in his opinion stated that the expenditure of money for analyzins liuuor was authorized under the law He declared the prevalence of the sale and the number of persons whose deaths are believed to have been caused by poison in liquor is sufficient to warrant the board of revenue is expending county funds for the purpose of having suspected liquor analysed.
