SEPTEMBER TERM 'OE COURT CLOSES; .4O CASES HANDLED
Oil Fyaud And Prohibition De- .Partment Row Come Up
 At March Session

The September term of tho United States court closed Friday afternoon after trying more than 40 cases on est before the court for the past Is years. The rapidity with which the docket was cleared is held as a rec ord by court attaches.
 While many of the cases were vio- lations of the national prohibition and narcotic laws and consumed some time for witness testimony, several prominent infractions of fed eral statutes were tried before Judge w I. Grubb. Two important coun- terfeiting cases were heard, that of Sam DeLuca and N. c. Pandolfo, the latter former Italian consul in Bir- mingham, and George w. Dash and Willie Miree, who were found guilty of a similar charge and sentenced to serve one year and two years, re- spectively, in the Atlanta peniten- diary. DeLuca and Pandolfo are Scheduled to be sentenced Saturday morning.
 When federal court reconvenes in March, 1924, two important cases will be tried. Four men indicted In the Walker Consolidated Petroleum com pany of Dallas, Texas, during the last session of the federal grand jury will be tried. Many Alabamins lost money in this oil venture and the indict- ment by the grand jury has excited much attention.
 The other case is that of four for ner members of the federal pronl- bition department who were indicted by the grand jury for violations of the prohibition. law. One of the men is W. B. Ford, former assistant pro hibition director for Alabama, while the others were employees of the de- nartnent

The two other landings were not decided upon late Friday afternoon.

CHANGE IN NAME
 CAUSED BY RIVER FARMER ASSERTS

Besides furnishing Alabama with Muscle Shoals, transporting much freight and draining a great part of several states, the Tennessee river has very peculiar effect on the negroes who live near 1t, particularly those of Morgan, Madison and Lime stone counties, Henry Thomas, a Limestone county farmer, told sev- eral of his friends In Birmingham, Friday.
 According to MT. Thomas. every time 8 negro crosses the river he changes his name. This does not mean, the speaker said, that they of necessity must have committed some overt act, but 1t does seem to be a custom. He says he has seen negroes working about Florence, done busi- ness with them, 8 month later seen them again in the vicinity of Shef- field and to a man they were under different names.
 MT. Thomas said he had talked to the authorities In the counties about 1t, mentioned 1t to several men, who from time to time employed much la Dor, and all had noted the same thing. Without rhyme or reason many of the negroes of these coun- ties change their names whenever they move across the river to make new homo.

She was sure that she loved him
