PRINCE SHUNS HIS ROYAL PLUMAGE IN VISITING CANADA
Heir To English Throne Re- members Girls He Met On
 Previous Trip

QUEBEC, Sept. 12.-Shunning all the fuss and feathers of official homage the Prince of Wales came ashore from the Empress of France today. registered at the Chateau Frontenac as "The Baron of Renfrew and retinue" and prepared to go to- morrow for the little ranch in the west where he hopes to play cowboy for whole month,
 Word had preceded the liner that the Baron wanted none of the form alities due crown prince when he reached the dominion, but neverthe- less crowds loaded the pier for hours awaiting the opportunity to see and cheer him.
 As Baron Renfrew'. came down the plank. the crowd contented Itself with cheering and flag waiving. An automobile whisked the Prince away to his hotel where later an official welcome was rendered by Major O'Connor, aide de camp to Baron Byng, governor general.
 The prince will remain incognito, it was announced by his secretary, Sir Godfrey Thomas. He will make no public appearance in the dominion and will not visit the United States, said Sir Godfrey. By train tomor- isolated rancher and then for home IS the program.
 That the prince hassn't forgotten all the American and Canadian girls he left behind him after his official tour of the continent three years ago, was revealed by a passenger on the Elm press of France in whom he con- fided on the trip.
 often, said Justice Tessier, of a Quebec high court, the prince would naively remark; T suppose many of the girls danced with are married and settled down by now"

GASOLINE FLOWS FROM WELL WHILE
 TOWNSFOLK GASP
Match Dropped In "Water" Causes Fire To
 Break Out

THAYER, H.. Sept. 12.-A liquio. pronounced high grade gasoline, flowing mysteriously from an aban- doned well here today, is giving this Sangaman county town all tho thrills of an anticipated oil boom. re well is on the property. of Andrew John son.
 About 10 days ago Johnson pumped the water out of the old well. The water r~n down an alley. A passcT- by dropped a match into what he supposed was 6 rivulet of water and soon the whole alley was on fire. It was disco Xered the inflammable sub stance was flowing from the well at the rate of five to twenty barrels b day.
 The word spread faster than the flames in the alley and now oil ex- perts' from far and near are here to investigate the phenomenon. The gasoline apparently comes from a stratum sand. Some have believed the gasoline was coming from a pos sible leak in pipe line, but there is no pipe line or gasoline tank in the vicinity.

THINK BROWE E ACT. .IS |NADEQU TO
 CHANGE CITY FORM.
Bum And Others Feel New Law Maintains Present
 Commission Form
O, L, ' {

Senator Walter Brewers bill pro- -viding choice of any sort of govern ment for Birmingham was under fire lawyers think the bill will simply confine Birmingham to it's present form of government eliminating possibility of a change.
 Here is the way several lawyers state the matter:
 You can't have S form of govern ment that has not been fixed by the legislature The Brewer bill does not provide any form. .3.
 "Ine enacting the commission meas ure, other forms of government were repealed for Birmingham and are not now available.
 For instance-suppose the voters decided they want and hold an elec- ton calling for the city manager plan. There is no statute defining the city manager plan of govern ment. The only body empowered to define a plan of government Is the legislature and it has not defined the city manager plan. It does not exist as far as Alabama is concerned. Lit- erslly the people would be voting for nothing.
 "The same trouble is in evidence for government by mayor and al- dermen, for that form of govern ment, as far as Birmingham is con cerned, has been repealed by the commissioner act"
 The matter was taken Up Wednes- day with number of lawyers. All voiced the same opinion, but de- cIined to be quoted, saying they were not taking an active part in poli- tics. o. L. Bum, general manager of the Chamber of Commerce.. himself a

Trip To North Pole Aim Now Of Giant Ship

WASHINGTON. Sept. 12,-The first part of the program of the navy dirigible zR-1, having been carried out successfully, Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the bureau of naval aeronautics, said tonight that the more ex- tended flights soon would be un- dertaken and that if practicable a flight to the north pole would be attempted, perhaps by next spring. The navy, he said, last fall. had promised this flight.
 The ZR-1, Admiral Moffett said, Twill not only be used as a naval scout but data will be kept to prove whether rigid air ships can be made a commercial success. She will be used for voyages to other parts of the world, heretofore inaccessible for exploration and discovery" , Unstinted satisfaction over the performances of the giant craft was expressed by Secretary Dem by today.

New Service For Citizens An-
 nOunced Wednesday

Firemen of the Birmingham fire department have volunteered to make inspections of furnaces in homes, each fire stations men doing the work in the vicinity of the engine house. Men of the downtown sta- tions are ready to perform similar service for owners of business property.
 Fire Chief J L. Akin announced the new service Wednesday morn ing, saying it is part of the work to help prevent the early fall fires that so often occur when furnaces and chimneys are used for the first time at the approach of winter.
 The chief said that pipes get out of order, some joints become discon- nected, many have become foul with soot and from all angles 1t Is best to have man who understands fire prevention make a thorough inspec- tion of the premises before the heat ing arrangements be put in use.
 Another phase of the work Is get ting the men familiar with the property in the vicinity of their sta ttons. When the men know the premises, particularly the basements they stand much better chance of protecting their own lives when call- ed to house they know when It Is

MACON. Ga, Sept. 12.-The state Iato today rested it's case against pr. c. A. Yarbrough, on trial for rioting, growing out of the flogging of B. F. Mills.

 Just before resting the state in troduced letter which 1t said was written by Mills to Governor Hard wick and which it claims the gov ernor did not receive. The defense objected on the ground that all though J. P. sDurkee, Ku Klux Klan organizer, testified he obtained 1t from Dr. Yarbrough, no connection of pr. Yarbrough with It's intercep- tion was shown, and also because the letter was not signed. The court overruled the objection.
 The letter identified by Miss Ora Goodin as the one she wrote and addressed to the XXX" was ruled out by Judge Gum because no un- lawful act had resulted from it.

Daugherty's Report Shows All Classes Victims Of Law
 In Prohibition Drive

WASHINGTON. Sept 12.-Convic- tion of judges, attorneys, federal and state officials and milhonaires lating the prohibition laws was de- tailed in a report submitted to Presi- dent Coolidge today by Attorney eSen eral Dangherty
 A synopsis of the report, made phb- lie with the assent of the President, reviewed the federal judiciary's work ih administering the prohibition law in the first forty-one months of it's operation. It showed that since the statute went into effect January 16, 1920, more than 90,00o cases had been terminated in United States courts with 72,489 convictions and fines aggregating $12,46f ,660. There has been constant yearly increase in prohibition prosecutions, the re- port showed, while jail sentences for the past 23 months have totaled more than 5000 years
 Tn 80 per cent of federal court cases, the report said, the defendants were found guilty. Although the records for the last fiscal year are not complete, the report estimated that there had been at least 10000 more convictions than in the preced- HE year dHu lotVVU HlOlS tndll lOf two years ago. These figures, MT. Daugherty said, indicated a stricter enforcement In every section of the country.
 The attorney general told the Presi- dent that he was of the impression that the governments enforcement officials, radiating from Washing ton, were coping with the liquor problem in a highly satisfactory man ner Many of the big prohibition cases of the past year were reviewed in the report. including the Gary. Ind. conspiracy case in which several of ficials were involved; that of the Lamantagne brothers of New York; the conviction of former Mayor Frank x.

May Give Manufacturer Mus Cle Shoals To Eliminate Him From Probable Can didacy Is Latest Report
 REPUBLICANS REALIZE F0RD'S HOLD ON PEOPLE Oetroiter Faced With Puz- zling Angles On Weeks Re- quest To Alter Bid For Muscle Shoals Property
WASHINGTON BUREAU T

While Secretary Weeks has de- clared that he is not in favor oi Ehe offer of Henry Ford for Muscle Shoals even when amended by the elimination of the Gorgas steam plant. owned partly by the Alabama Power company, and while the Presi- aent has intimated that he will have bomething to say in the future which might or might not handicap that offer in another session of Congress, lhere is political gossip in Washing lon to this effect:
 Politics, the last session. prevent ed the acceptance of the offer, in an- other session, politics may force its acceptance.
 In other words, there is general belief that Ford, as a presidential possibility, $ thorn fostering in the side of the grand old party and especially the "reactionary" wing of that organization. -
 It is pointed out that if Ford were the democratic nominee, he would be exceedingly troublesome to the re- plblicans. The republicans believe he would be the most formidable man the democrats could nominate. They admit a certain kind of terror produced by straw votes held throughout the nation, and by the fact that Ford, through his motor agencies is already organized and by the fact that he has so much money that campaign, without out side contributions, would not dis kurb his bank account.
 Not Completely Satisfied.
 Their belief that the politicians in i itha4aAenaocratic fold will be able to Z e9revent Ford's nomination even Should the people, in the. meantime. indicate that they want Ford, does not give them complete happiness They foresee a Ford movement of such impetus by July, 1924, that ir- respective of the result of conven- tions and irrespective of the attitude of Ford himself. 1t could not be checked.
 They argue that Ford would be required to run as an Independent. In that event, they foresee the coll lapse of the promised independent efforts of Senators LaFollette. John son and Borah.
 As an independent candidate, re- publicans hold that Ford would carry Michigan, North and South Da- kota, Wisconsin, Minnesota. Iowa and possibly other states, all of which are normally republican in national elections. They believe,

 Birmingham Week" will be as complete in it's particular appeal as was the annual fair, and will not be without an array of attractive en- tertainment features, though pri- marily it's function will be to dis play Birmingham made goods to every available citizen within it's 300 mile trade zone.
 Not in any sense is the affair planned along similar lines of the housewives exhibit, which strictly speaking in an annual event of To- cal importance only Birmingham manufactured goods, according D tentative plans will occupy a con- spicuous part of every space in the city during the week of October 15.
