COMMISSION TO PASS UP DANCING REQUEST
Lease To Private Concern Takes
 Matter Out Of City's Hands

The city no longer being the op- orator of East Lake papk's amuse- ment facilities, and the public having expressed itself on the matter of dancing on Pershing pier, it was in timated Thursday morning in the city hall that the probability was the city commission would not act on the request of members of Zamora tenn pie, Shriners, that dancing be all lowce in the pavilion the day of the annual picnic, August 10.
 The request for permit came to the city Wednesday, and was infor- nally discussed by the commission CTS, but comment was withheld. It was stated a decision ght be reached Thursday, but Thursday two oI the commissioners and the city attorney were in Montgomery and no decision was pronounced.
 The matter being one of a not en- tirely important nature and a deli cate question, the city having leased the property in question to park concessionaire, it was stated the sub ject really was out of the jurisdie< tion of the city.

LIQUOR CAUSES
 GREAT MAJORITY AU TO ACCIDENTS
Judge Martin Finds Intoxi- cated Drivers Are Source
 Of Most Police Cases

In the past few days, Police Judge Martins court has been flooded with cases pertaining to automobile ac- cidents. The cause of nearly all of these accidents Is shown to be the intoxicated automobile driver. In nearly every case it is proven that one or both of the drive-s impli- cated were under the influence of liquor at the time of the accident.
 These intoxicated drivers are the most dangerous menace to public safety that we have" say the of ficers. Most of them drive at the highest rate of speed that their car is capable of making, paying no heed to the safety of other drivers and pedestrians.
 According to Police Judge Martin he will continue to enforce the law in the strictest degree on all of these cases. When conviction re- suits, the defendant is never let off with s fine, but is always sentenced

When it was dis covered that they had formerly been clerks under the federal quarter master at Huntsville they were charged as spies and tried before drumhead courtmartial. They were given the choice of taking the oath of allegiance or being shot. Before the sentence could be put into effect General Forrest sent an officer to Nashville with the message that for each of the nineteen executed a fed eral officer would be hanged.

 ENSLEy kIWAN|ANS
Comedian Is Enthusiastically Received By The Civic
 Association
ENSLFY BUREAU ! THE A6E-HERALD ! Enaiaw Ala .yuIv 1G !

Raymond Hitchcock, the celebrated player, was elected an honorary mem Der of the kiwanis club of Ensley Thursday at the luncheon of that club. The distinction of being the only honorary member of the club came after Mir. Hitchcock had deliv- cred an address to the Kiwanians, in which the vein of humor flowed un- ceasingly, to be interrupted oc- casionally with bits of philosophy and sound sense. Hardeman S. Meade vice president of the club, stated that at a special meeting of directors of the club the honor had been con ferred upon MT. Hitchcock, and 6 button and membership card were pre- sented to the apostle of laughter. He was visibly touched by the member ship and thanked the club in a soft ly spoken and simple speech of ap- preciation.
 Mir. Hitchcock was the star of a program rendered by the Kiwanis club, which was said to have been the most extensive and enjoyable yet staged. He spoke of many experi- ences in the show business, telling in- cidents that caused gales of laughter and then he would inject something semi-serious into his talk which sank deep into the minds of kiwanians. He was introduced to the club by Clyde w. Ennis, who has known Mir. Hitch cock for some time. He was pre- sented to the club as man that spread sunshine and smiles, for which hiwanians always planned.
 MT. Hitchcock was introduced fin ally as "Hitchie," and 1t was not long afterwards until the kiwanians were calling him by that pet name. He expressed his great pleasure upon be- ing asked to come to the meeting. and promised on his next visit to again attend and tell the origin of why he is sometimes called the Rev. Dr. Hitchcock.
 Captain Walthour, in charge of the military units of Birmingham, pre- sented to the club the problem af- fectinG Company 1 of Ensley and it is stated the public affairs committee, or which George Byrum is chairman, Will take up the matter and assist in getting the affair strengthened out.
 The meeting was also addressed by MT. Byrum, who reported the trip of the klWanians an dothers to Mont gomery to protest against the Brewer annexation bill, and said Ensley as sisted in the adverse report given the Dill, and if other matters came up similar that Ensley would do her duty as in this case.
 An especially interesting feature or the meeting was the introduction to the club of Miss Jane Thompson. local manager for the Southern Bell Telephone company. Her unique po- sition in lccal business circles ere ated interest and she was cordially greeted.
 Other guests included: Dr. c, W, Shackelford, president of the Xii wanis club of Fairfield; George E. Boyd, Jr., Rev. MT. Stansell of Jasper and Rev. MT. Ware. also of that city; Ernest Gresham of Pippen Brothers, Mrs. William E. Turnipseed. w. H. Mcdowell. Starling Ennis, Capt R. r. Walthour, Jr., U. s. A.; Maj James A. Webb and Harry Portman, manager of Loew's Bijou theatre, accompanying MT. Hitchcock.

MIDDLE STILL MISSING
Authorities Believe Student Has Ab
 sented Himself Without LenvA

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 26.--Despite reports from Palouse, Wash, that Henry l.. Dixon, missing midshipman. had returned to his home there after vanishing from the Naval academy here, Annapolis authorities said Thursday they were as much at sea as ever over Dixon's disappearance
 Besides denying Dixon's return to Palouse, they said he might either have been drowned while swimming in the Severn river Sunday or simply absented himself without leave.
 The latter theory Is given more credence, because Dixon as former seaman on a battleship was inclin ed to take steps without consulting his superiors.
