 Colonel J. A. Van Hoose pointed out the necessity of building an au- ditorium to care for Birmingham for many years He said that the audi torium should be built where the center of population was and that was now near Smiths park.
 "The city cannot build the audi torium in any of the city parks" MT. Van HooSe said, referring to a case in 1904 when he was mayor of Birmingham and the case was put to a legal test.
 The meeting was closed by short talk by w. B. Leedy, who declared that providing the city took no ac- tion on the auditorium, the civic bodies could erect it and sell an op- tlen to the city later.

A bicycle rider should never pat

ST. ONCE KNOWS
Tells Right Way to
Ride and Use a Bicycle;
Height Of Saddle

Fred st. Onge, Americas foremost
exponent of bicycle riding. gives some
valuable advice on choosing, equip
ping and adjusting bicycle.
In the selection of a bicycle, he
states, whether the rider is choosing
his first bicycle or is a seasoned user
of this highly beneficial vehicle and
has owned several wheels, he should
exercise the greatest care in making
sure the bicycle he finally picks out
is one in every way fitted to his Cor
hcr) individual physical require
ments.
A bicycle with a frame too high or
too low for the riders stature, or
one that is geared too high. or one
whose saddle or handlebars are sadly
in need of adjustment, naturally re-

greatly from the otherwise perfect
pleasure of bicycling.
1t must be borne in mind that the
only motive or driving power that
maniDulates O bicycle is that OF the
legs and feet. This power therefore
should be conserved and made to
produce maximum results from min
imum effort.
To get the proper height, says st.
Onge, the rider should stand beside
his bicycle and adjust the saddle on
0, level with the hips. Then sit in
the saddle, having the crank hanger
at it's lowest point. In this position,
the rider should be able to touch the
pedal with his heel, the leg being
bent slightly at the knee.
The front end or nose of the saddle
should be on a line directly with the
cranks when they are perpendicular
The saddle never should be set moro
than one inch back Of this line.
A natural, comfortable riding po-
sition is promoted by having the
handlebars adjusted to a point prac-
tically level with the saddle. The
handlebars should not be spread
wider than the shoulders of the rider
The rider is subjected to severe
handicap if this mount is adjusted

More Than Forty Amend ments Offered But Less
 Than Dozen Approved
DROP INDUSTRIAL SHIPS
Amendment to Make Doubly Sure of Disbarment of
 Liquor on Ships Offered

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.- Radical changes in several provisions of the administration shipping bill, all of them proposed by Republicans. were made today by the house as it ap- preached final vote on the measure More than two score of amendments were offered, but less than a. dozen were approved.
 In quick succession, amendments proposed by Democrats hostile to the legislation, were rejected. Practically all of them came from four Democra- tic members of the merchant marine committee-Representatives Davis of Tennessee, Hardy and Briggs of Texas and Bankhead of Alabama. Friends of the bill, encouraged by their sue cess in turning back the Democratic attack, predicted they would have comfortable margin on the passage vote scheduled for not later than 4 F. m. tomorrow.
 Among the important changes made in the measure during the day was an amendment by Chairman Madden of the appropriations committee making it necessary for congress each year to payments from the merch- ant marine fund to operators of Amer ican ships.
 At the suggestion of Representative Edmonds of Pennsylvania, ranking Re publican on the merchant marine com mittee, the house decided not to make government aid available to industrial concerns, such as the Standard Oil company, for the operation of vessels carrying their own products. The bill

 The further decision was reached by the Republican senators to hold the senate in session on Thanksgiving day-a most unusual occurrence-if such action was found necessary to break Democratic opposition. The vote on continuing the fight for the Dyer bill which has been passed by the house was understood to have been "A to 1.

ACkER ON STAND
 AGAINST bURGE
Sentenced to Death, He Tes- tifies Over Protest of
 His Own Attorney

PRESCOTT, Nov. 2S.- William E. Acker, under sentence of death for the murder of Iver Enge, took the wit ness stand here today over the pro- test of his own attorney to tesetify as a prosecution witness against Tho mas w. Burge, charged with murder in connection with the same crime.
 Acker and Burge are alleged by the state to be the two men who assaulted Enge, a former Phoenix orchardt keep CT, June 12, and left him unconscious in a lonely rayine south of Prescott, suffering from wounds that caused his death a month later.
 The two men were arrested by the authorities after a search through three states. Acker was tried first, convicted and sentenced to hang De cember l, but as the result of the fiji. ing of an appeal with the Arizona su- preme court today he has been grant ed a stay of execution.
 The testimony of Acker was offered by the prosecution in an effort to break down the alibi established yes terday by Bnrge, testifying in his own behalf.
 Burge admitted travelling with Ac- ker after the alleged crime but denied that he had been present during the assault on Enge or had any knowledge of such an assault.
 Acker, who sat in the court room yesterday and listened to Rurge's de fense, testified today that Burge ac- companied him to the spot where Enge is alleged to have been assault ed. The prosecution asked Acker no questions touching on the actual strik ing or stabbing of Enge.
 In answer to the question, "who went out there?" (to lonely spot on road near Prescott) Acker replied myself and MT. Burge and MT. Enge."
 When asked "who came back?" he said. "Mr. Burge and myself"
