 Between Teams

At the regular weekly luncheon of the Exchange club which will be held at the Tutwiler hotel at noon today reports are expected to be made from the week of active can wasting by members of the club for the Alabama School of Trades and and Industries. At the last meeting Chairman Hugh Locke stressed the importance of prompt work on the part of the members. and he will ask for reports today.

 The Business and Professional Women's club committees have also been doing active work during the week, and Miss Marian Goar, chair man of this committee, stated Tues day that she had received reports from several members which indi- cated that very effective work has been done by the ladies. Several reported the disposal of two books of twenty five coupons each.

KNOX CASE SETTLED
Law Enforcement Agent Pays Costs
 and Fine in Criminal Action

With the payment of $50 fine and the court costs amounting to ssS.95 in criminal court yesterday the final chapter was written in the case of w. H. Knox, state law enforcement officer, who was convicted in 1921 of an assault upon Phil Painter, pub fisher of the Advance.
 Knox was originally sentenced to 30 days hard labor and to pay fine of $500 He appealed to the court of appeals and supreme court, both of which upheld the decision of the court. Governor Kilby then saved Knox from jail by wiping off the 50 days sentence and at the same time reducing the fine from $500 to $50.
 The charge of assault and battery against Knox grew out of street fight in February, 1921. when Painter Is alleged to have been beaten by Knox and by O. D. Moates. another member of the state law enforcement force working under Conrad w.. Austin, former chief. The case of Moates is still pending in criminal court.
