WASHINGTON, March 1.-The sensational chapter of Senate his tory revolving around a charge by the late Senator Watson, democrat, Georgia, that American soldiers were executed without trial in France, was closed today when the committee appointed to investigate, reported unanimously that it had found the charge unfounded.

 All of the committee members, Senators Brandegee, Connecticut; Willis, Ohio, and Ernst, Kentucky, republicans, and Overman, North Carolina, and Shields, Tennessee, democrats, signed the report. In

Scale Harris when he ad- dressed the members of the Commu- nifty club on the mosquito campaign Thursday afternoon at their lunch con held in the ballroom of the Tut wiler hotel.

The capital of our state in all bability would have been at St stephens had it not been for mos quitoes.' The speaker told num- Der ( f interesting stories of the mos quitoes in Alaska and how the na- tives of that country fought against them. He urged all Community club members to assist in the campaign against mosquitoes.
 pr. John H. Edmondson. an N-ray specialist, was next introduced to the club and explained the origin and uses of the X-ray. The speaker stated that the X-ray came into ex- istence in the year 1885 and since that time has been an adjunct to the medical profession, and contin- ues to make rapid progress. Dr.. Edmondson stated that people should be more conservative and not be so hasty in forming their opinions after an x-ray examination, put to confer with their physicians and let them draw their own conclusion as to the treatments necessary. Many thou sands of persons have had their teeth drawn, following N-ray examina- tons. when in all proba bility it was unnecessary. Don't do this" urged the speaker, but let your physician decide for you.'

 BROUGHT UP
Preliminary Sketches of the Structure to Be Placed Be- fore City Commission by Architects Friday at
 Conference

First cards in Birmingham S second new deal on the auditorium project will be dealt at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon, when prelimi- nary plans and cost estimates for the structure will be presented to the city commission by the asso- ciated architects originally en- ployed to draw up plans and speci- fications for municipal audi torium.
 D. E. McLendon, president of the commission, announced the conference Thursday afternoon after Hugh Martin, spokesman for the associated architects, had noti- fled the commission that the plans could be presented to the city board at their convenience Friday. MT. Martins announcement followed two weeks of effort by the architects, who began work when three mem- bers of the city commission agreed to recognize the contract held by the associated architects.
 Seating Capacity 0,OOO.
 Data contained in the preliminary sketches to be submitted to the com mission Friday afternoon was not made available by Mir. Martin because he believed such action would be unethical. as the commission was in the position of a client who had con- tracted for service. 1t is understood, however, that seating capacity of approximately 5000 is provided for in the estimates to be presented. Cost figures were being dseerm ned by the architects Thursday night. Reports that the sketches called for return to the original plans of the associated architects, provid- ing for seating capacity of about $500 persons. were vigorously de- nied Thursday by Mir. Martin.
 The city commissioners who called us into conference instructed the as- sociated architects to prepare pre- liminary sketches for an auditorium costing not more than the funds in hand permitted and seating not less than 5000 persons. approXimately. declared Mir. Martin. This we have attempted to do. Just what we have done will be brought before the com mission Friday"
