NELSON TO LEARN FATE FROM GRUBB MONDAY MORNING
Druggist Loses Fight For New Trial For Narcotic
 Law Violation

William NJ. Nelson, president of the Nelson Drug company, Fifth avenue and Twenty street, found guilty in federal court last week of violations of the Harrison narcotic law, will be sentenced Monday. Judge William I. Grubb Saturday overruled a motion for a new trial announced by Nelson's attorneys immediately following the verdict
 Judge Grubb's action came after arguments were heard on the mo tion by Jim c. Smith, assistant United States district attorney and Nelson counsel. The arguments consumed most of the morning.
 Nelson was convicted after testi- mony offered by the government was to the effect he did not keep a complete record of paregoric sold In his store, and that only records of three gallons, which had been sold were Kept, out of 155 gallons, which had been bought by the store from September, 1922, until April, 1928. Nelson had been arraigned before federal court once before on simi- lar charge but was released on grounds of faulty indictment.
 District Attorney Smith had charge of the investigation into the second trial and was in charge of the gov ernment prosecution.

 Mr. Sims statement follows:
 ''The appeal to the citizens of Bir- $10,000 to relieve the immediate suf- fering of the Japanese who were so recently afflicted by earthquake and fire, has been successful The sub scriptions totaled $1o,660-2S with sew eral teams vet to report
 -The appeal was made quietly and without any pressure, and the re- sponse was from the hearts of the givers-
 By far the larger part of the gifts was made by people of moderate means And with the exception oi donations by the Bell Telephone com pany, the National Cast Iron Pipe company, and tho three cement manufacturing companies, which are branches, all the gifts were made from corporations and individuals whose chief Interests are local
 'Tf VIC h~d been credited with share of gifts made elsewhere by institutions and stores who have branches here, the Birmingham dona- tion would have been much larger.
 "The success of the appeal has been largely due to the work of the lunch clubs Tneir WOrk mas oeen credit to their existence. For with out their unselfish devotion of the necessary time, many of the subscip- tions could not have been reached The newspapers, too, were very gen erous in giving rapid publicity to the advance of the work, which is always necessary to any public undertaking.
 The Red Cross Is glad to an nounce. too, that the total expense of collecting this fund was only s3S.76.
