TURKEY REJECTS AME ER|CAN TREATY
 AT LAST MINUTE
Ismet Declares Interests Of His Nation Not Pro-
 teCted

LAUSANNE, August 4.-(By Asso- ciated Press )-The Turks refused to play their part in the signature of the Turco- American treaty set for this evening, and instead, Ismet Pasha brought to Joseph c. Grew head of the American negotiators, a new. formula for the American claims which probably will have to be sub mitted to Washington.
 The Turks seem to have adopted the same policy toward the Amer jeans that they did toward the allies, forcing @ concession here and there by patiently playing on the other party's desire to wind up the long negotiations.
 Ismet informed MT. Grew that he was very sorry but, after mature deliberation, he and his government had decided that they could not &C., cept the provisional text on the claims of American citizens for a damage because it was felt that this did not protect Turkish interests.
 Ismet added that in view of the importance of the treaty to Turkey he would postpone his departure from Lausanne until the negotia- tions are concluded.

speeding. The club will take up such cases as reported and issue a warning to the driver involved. A result in prosecutions.
 In this connection it might be said that the membership of the Birming- ham Motor club is increasing at a rapid pace and all departments of the club are functioning and giving efficient service to members. Offi- cials of the club say that this in- crease in membership is significant in view of the fact that the club does lot maintain solicitors, but all mem bership is on application.
 Ltst week it was announced that c. R. Murphy had been appointed d as official service man for the club. Mir. Murphy reports this week that his wrecker will be ready today and he will be equipped to render first aid to members of the club. This service is, of course, without charge to members.
 The club takes this occasion to thank those signers of the full page advertisement in today's Age Herald for their generosity and co-opera- tion for the cause of humanity, be- lieving this publicity will be the means of saving life and limb Of many persons.
 Many expressions of commendation for the club have been heard and this publicity will doubtless result in increasing good will for the Bir- mingham Motor club.

NEW FACES ARE
 TO REPLACE OLD AT WHITE HOUSE
Changes In Executive Per- sonneI Likely To Be Made
 By Coolidge

WASHINGTON, August 4.-CBy As sociated Press. )-With the passing of President Harding, several changes are expected in the White House ex- ecutive personnel, especially among those officials whose appointments have always been considered as es- sentially personal on the part of the chief executive.
 spokesman for President Coo lidge said today that George B. Christian. Jr., secretary to MT. Har- ding, still was the Presidents secre- tary' and that Brig. Gen. Charles E.. Sawyer still retained his title as personal physician to the President. Nevertheless. both are expected gem eral1y to pass soon outN of official life, although both will be retained at their posts until their successors have become familiar with the duties of the White House.
 In so far as the personnel is con- cerned, at least no immediate changes are expected One who will remain IS Rudolph Forester. the. executive secretary, who has held that post at the White House for score of years and has been regarded as in- d.spensable by President after Presi- dent. because of his familisr rity with the important details of public busi- ness.
 In discussion of secretary to the new President, mention in unofficial circles is most frequently made of Edward T. Clark, who was Mir. Coo lidges secretary as vice president MT. Clark has had many years of Washington experience. at one time being to Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts. He had left Washington and was engaged in private business when Mir Coolidge was elected Vice prnc I,,% ;,,l to take place in the latter's office. He is a graduate of Amherst, and as in the case of Mir. Harding and MT Christian has made his home in the same town as his chief, Northampton. Massachusetts.
 Other possible selections as secre- tary are Benjamin Felt of Boston and James E. Reynolds, formerly of Massachusetts, but for many wears a resident of Washington. MT Felt was at first a Boston newspaper man and then for several years was secre- tary of the republican state committee of Massachusetts. In recent years he has been associated in business in Boston with Frank W. Sterns, one of the closest friends of the President MT. Reynolds was for 'long time a Washington newspaper correspond ent and in later years secretary of the republican national committed He was assistant secretary of the treasury under Roosevelt, served at one time as a member of the tariff commission and in 1920 was manager of MT. Coolidge's candidacy for the presidential nomination.
 MT. Coolidge's physician since he came to Washington as Vice Presi- dent has been Maj. James F. Coupal of the army medical crops, on duty in the war department. In some quar- ters t was predicted today that he would be detailed as White House physician in succession to General Sawyer.

BILLS STOCK |S
 AGAIN COMPILE
New Stocks Secured-Prices Are Expected To Be Higher
 In The Future

The big sale recently held at Bills Accessory shop resulted in d some what depleted stock and to repleuish this "Bill' made a hurried trip to the eastern mahkets to make, pur- chass for the Birmingham store at 421 Twentieth street, south.
 In telling of his trip Bill says: "I found the demand for automobile tires, parts and accessories quite brisk and buyers were as rule eager to take whatever they could get at prevailing prices, fet ing an advance in the near future. Person ally, I feel that such an advance is quite likely, for prices are stiff and the demand shows no sign of abatine to any market degree. This opinion is confirmed by the fact thR& raw ma terials are considerably higher in many instances. It is my advice to buyers to make purchases at an early date for the sake of safety and satis- faction. Get 'em at BilIs'

COOLIDGES SETTLED
Will Spend Some Time In Temporary
 White House In Hotel

w WASHINGTON. August 4.--The Coolidge are all settled in their temporary White House at the New Willard hotel, prepared to spend ten days or two weeks there, while allowing Mrs. Harding plenty of time to remove her private belong gings from the White House. Their quar- ters are cramped compared to those in the White House.
 Coolidge has a large parlor, a din ing room, two bedrooms and three rooms used by an emergency clerical force. His close friend and adviser Frank w. Stearns. Boston business man. has bed room adjoining the suite.
 Electricians were busy Saturday placing push buttons and additional telephones to facilitate the transac- tion of business. Coolidge received visitors In the large sitting room at the entrance to the suite. He also has two offices on The Hill. one in the capitol, just off the Senate cham Der, and the other in the Senate o>- flee building. But 1t is probable that Coolidge will spend most of his time in his hotel suite, as 1t is more con Nenient to the visitors and to the White House offices where files and papers are constantly being called for.
 Rudolph Forster. chief of the White House staff, is rushing the last work on the remodelins of the executive offlces, and hopes to have them ready by the time the Coolidges move into the White House

Gan Bill Become Law Without Brandon Amendments?
 STATE CAPITAL BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD

Is the Coffee county bill requiring the election of the county superin- tendent of education by the people constitutional? It beUtme known to- day that the question has been raised since Governor Brandon return ed inc bill with an amendment Friday and that an investigation is being made by citizens of Coffee county who are intere /sd.
 The doubt results from the section of the constitution which requires the notification of the effect of each local bill. The advertisement of the Coffee county bill prescribed certain quail fications for the county superinten1- ent of education, chief among them being that the possession of first grade teachers certificate.

 The Coffee county bill is the first of several which will be passed dur ing the session. Governor Brandon announced that he would approve It after his amendment had been d -Opted.
