COURT AT ENSLEY. TO BE CONTINUED, .CL0E SAYS FRIDAY.
Plans For Delegation To Pro- test Against Action Are
 Abandoned
ENsI.EV BuREAU1 THE AGE-HERALD ! Ensley, Ala, Aug, IT !


 Ensley received lhe reassurIng statement Saturday that the Ensley police court would not be discon. tinued, that there was no such ide@ in the mind of the commission and that such 8 proposition had not been oven remotely suggested, ,at the city hall. This statement of Commis- sloner w. B. Cloe has necessitated cancellation of the plans to protest vigorously against such a step and Ensley will not send a delegation to the city hall for that purpose Tues day.
 MT. Cloe pointedly asserted Friday that he did not contemplate such a step and that Ensley need not be afraid that such a plan would find favor with the commission. He ex- plained that inasmuch as Recorder H. J. Martin is very badly over worked that he had in mind sug- gesting that Recorder Harry Burns of Ensley come to Birmingham in the afternoon and assist in clearing the docket, especially on busy days. The commissioner pointed out that Judge Burns is through work every day by noon and that as he received com pensation for 8 full day, he thought that it was only fair for the Ensiey recorder to assist in Birmingham when the occasion Justified that as- sistance. Mir. Cloe said that he had not made up his mind fully even as to that step, but that under no pos sible circumstances would Ensley be deprived of Its court and that no in conveniences, such as attending in the city, would be inflicted upon Ensley by the city commission. This explanation of Commissioner Cloe will, 1t is believed. effectively set at rest the imaginative creations that filled Ensley with unrestrained indignation Thursday and a portion of Friday.

"PROGRESSIVES" LOSE IN PRINTERS CONCLAVE
End Of Convention Is Good -Humored
 After Stormy Sessions

ATLANTA, Ga, August 17.-(By Associated Press. .)-The sixty eighth annual convention of the Interna- tional Typographical union came to an official close late today after five days and tne night session replete with transaction of important or ganiZation legislation, punctuated sharply and continually with fac tlonal conflicts. The sixty-ninth as- sembly will be held next August in Toronto.
 The fifth and last days session was completely a good-humored one after one Of the bitterest party fights of this years conVention-the attempt of the pro-administration or progressive" element to wrest the control and editorship of the unions official organ, The Typographical of Secretary J. W. Hays, who was said in convention circles to be one of the leaders of the opposition or "conservative" element.
 The 'progressives," through a resolution introduced by Delegate Fischer of Oakland, Cal, member Of the laws committee. sought to place the Journal. under the directorate of the entire executive council instead of only the secretary as at present, but the motion was lost by an over whelming vote.
 The only outstanding feature of the last days session was the proposition of the Washington, D. C., delegation. which sought to exclude from mem bership in the international union persons not naturalized citizens of the United States and Canada with the exception of those persons who had declared their intention of be- coming such citizens by taking out first papers of naturalization. The laws committee reported adversely on this resolution and the commit tees recommendation was upheld by the assembled delegates.

with the rules, and take charge of the campaign records until the busi- ness Is carefully audited. No am nouncements whatsoever will be made as to who the winners are until the official announcement Is made in The AgeHerald.
 P. M. Tonight.
 The doors of The Age-Herald cam paign office will be closed and locked promptly at g D. m. and no one will be allowed to enter and turn in sub- scriptions after that time. Those who are in the building at that time will be allowed to turn in their subscrip- tions. Don't wait until the last min ute before coming to The Age Herald office, as there is nothing like a little leeway. The Pardon that Came to Late" has furnished substance for many a heart-rending story and ballad, and credits and subscriptions that are brought to the campaign office too late will be of as much avail as the pardon was to the man that had already been taken from this earthly sphere.
 o O o
 Tonight Is The Last Chance.
 Everything is in readiness for the overwhelming rush of subscriptions that will come these last few hours and those who count on easy vic tory will be sadly disappointed. Ev cry hour that remains has it's possi- bilities. Every minute counts. One final, supreme effort today or eve ming may land you the prize you covet. It may be the Jewett or one of the Fords. The friends who have responded so nobly In the past can scarcely turn you down at a moment when a victory is at stake. It is cer- tain that this will be 8 race of narrow margins. The winners of the auto motiles may te separated by the credits on just a few subscriptions. The line will be a thin one. Hence, every subscription Is invaluable. Think of what victory in this race will meanl Luxury, happiness, pleas ure, the very best things life holds forth are within the grasp of those who have the stamina to reach out for them, Will you? Ahl That is R question for you, and you alone to decide. And now-reward hoVers near for those who have the stamina to grasp 1t. Your last chance! May fortune be with youl

SELMIAN FOUND WITH BULLET THROUGH HEAD
Revolver Falls By Side Of His

SELMA, Ala, August 17.-(Special Leased Wire. )-William Jesse Mel ton, head bookkeeper for selma Creamery and Ice company; killed himself Friday morning at his resi- dence on Selma avenue and Lapsley street. MT. Melton was at his post at the creamery office at o'clock but left about g saying he was not well and would go home.
 At about Il o'clock, R. w. Barnes, president of the company, went with Ed Mullins, son-in-law of Melton, and found the lifeless body of Melton on a mattress in the center of the liv- ing room. The man had apparently shot himself with a pistol which had fallen from his grasp as the bullet penetrated his brain. He has been with the creamery company since its organization in 1907.
 Mrs. Melton is visiting in Bessemer. She was notified by long distance message of the tragedy. Mrs. Pat Mullins, daughter of the dead man, who lives in Baton Rouge, La, and Reynolds Melton. a son in Richmond, were notified. MT. Melton was b2 years of age.

The stage is set for the final act In The Age-Heralds "5O,0eO Club" drama" and everything Is in readi- ness for the drop of the curtain.
 Promptly at s o'clock Saturday night, the doors will close and the Judges will be on hand to see that the rules governing the final bal loting are compiled with. Some eight club members, when the clock strikes Saturday night, will be richer by either of the following re- wards: Jewett touring car, an Els sex touring car, a Columbia touring car, or ford touring car. These will be the rewards for meritorious service in The Age~Herald circula- tion campaign. The contestants have done earnest, loyal work and The Age-Herald takes this occasion to thank all who have taken part in the race.
 Today.
 Saturday, of course, is the big day. Today means the difference to some one between an automobile and, lesser prize. The race will be very close, from present indications, as each and every contestant Is deter mined to work harder during the final hours and is not going to concede the fight until the count is made. One very noticeable feature of the race from the beginning is the equal credit getting ability of the majority of the workers. Just a few more subscriptions than you ex- pected to get may be the ones neces- sary to land you 8 winner. These subscriptions will come in now as all have their supporters and the in- terest in the outcome of the big race is at fever heat.
 O O O
 Closing Rules.
 All club members must be careful to see that their subscriptions and remittances tally exactly. The cam paign ends promptly at the hour stated and the door will be closed at that time. No one vii be permitted to enter to turn in subscriptions after the door is locked; however, those who are in the office will be given sufficient time to prepare their subscriptions.
 The judges or their representatives will be on hand to direct the clos ing of the campaign in accordance
