WAR ON WEEVIL DECLARED HERE
 BY COTTON MEN
Col. Jordan Urges Action In Speech To Planters
 Wednesday

A campaign to raise funds for aid in the fight against the boil weevil, arch enemy of the cotton crop, probably will be launched here as result of an ad- dress by Col. Harvey Jordan, president of the American Cotton association, be- fore business men at the chamber of commerce Wednesday.
 As part of a resolution thanking Col onel Jordan for his talk, an especially appointed committee composed of Col. R. A. Mitchell, O. l.. Bum and Walter Phillips, requested J. D. Moore, chairman of the meeting, to inaugurate such a drive.
 Colonel Jordan's speech, one of the number he vii deliver through the south, attracted 30 outstanding commercial heads to the chamber despite the fact that it was held late in the morning. The meeting was arranged by J. o. Thompson of Montgomery, secretary of the Cotton association.
 Vital To South
 The address dwelt upon the position cotton occupies in the commercial life of the south, the ravages of the boll weevil and the fight science is waging against it, and plea for high protec- tive tariff on the product. In touching upon the last named Colonel Jordan de- clared that with the encouragement giv- en to cotton raisers in foreign coun- tries their crops would soon make heavy impression of the market unless some protection is given the farmer. The issues should be taken out of politics, as it is an economic problem, he stated.
 Colonel Jordan urged cooperation by business interests with the farmer in marketing his crop. This requires, he said, some revolution in credit.
 Conditions now make it imperative that the farmer sell his cotton almost as soon as it has been picked. If he were not pushed to meet his debts he could hold his crop and obtain higher prices when quotations rise," the speak CT said.
 Fails To Destrop
 "As yet" Colonel Jordan said, "no one has found a sure germicide for the boil weevil. The best chemical pro- duced so far is calcium arsenate, and, although this checks the vagrant, it does does not entirely destroy.
 q can assure you, however, that some remedy will be worked out. The government is not going to quit, al | though I cannot predict how soon, we eventually will have successful weapon against the boil weevil." The speaker asserted that the south contains some of the richest farm lands in the world and although still used mainly for cotton he predicted a greater diversification of crops. As part of the associations scheme for experiments in southern farm lands it has 1,5OO small tracts located in various sections where crops are under cultivation. One of the pieces, Colonel Jordan said, has been known to produce twice as much corn as a similar sized tract in Iowa considered the best corn-raising land in l the country. ~..-

SILVA ACCEPTS
 COURT VERDICT
Sentence, Due Saturday, Not To Be Appealed,
 He Says

Ivanhoe Silva, convicted Monday night of burglary and grand larceny by jury in Judge William E. Forts court in connection with the robbery of the Hill Grocery company on May 14, 1923, will not appeal the case, he an- nounced Wednesday. Sentence is to be passed Saturday morning by Judge Fort.
 ''I'll accept the sentence and do the best I can in prison. I've been tried twice and there is no use in taking an appeal" he said. At the same time, he added, that the verdict of guilty was due to the testimony of Mrs. Jean Pheatt, who proved the main witness for the state. During Silva's first aps pearance in court, which resulted in a mistrial, Mrs. 9Pheatt was Silva's con- stant companion.
 The second trial, of J. A. Cannon balI' Webb, of Tampa, Fla, who with sSilya is alleged to have blown the safe of the Hill Grocery company, will prob ably be heard sometime in Decemhers Solicitor Davis said. At Wells first trial, he was sentenced to ten years in the state penitentiary, but the case was reversed by the supreme court, and re- manded for a new trial. Wells under went a serious operation at Tampa, few weeks ago, and the new trial will be set as soon as he is able to come to Birmingham, Davis said.

Automobile owners will save them selves considerable inconvenience and lost time if they bring their 1924 certi- ficates of title to the court house when securing 1925 licenses, Probate Judge J. P.

ATLANTA SWINDLER
 TO FACE THE MUSIC
Ed Ellis, BuncO Syndicate Aide,
 Surrenders To Police

ATLANTA, Nov. 12.-Ed. Ellis, at one time lieutenant to Floyd Woodward, head of the "bunco syndicate" operat- ing in Atlanta in 1919 and fleecing scores of victims out of more than a million dollars, has returned to "face the music" he is quoted as saying, and take whatever punishment the law in flicts.

tCITY WILL DROP
 BOWENS NAME FOR PARK: BOARD
Another Nominee To Be Named At Next Meet y' D
 ing Tuesday

The city commission will not press :. further for the reelection of Lewis Bowen to the park board, but will nominate someone else at it's next meet ing.
 , Commissioners McLendon and Dick son went so far as to say that If the board, in the meantime, will meet and agree on a successor to MT. Bowen, they will lead fight to carry out the boards wishes.
 g. Such were the developments Wednes- day afternoon after the park body for the second time failed to confirm Bowen's nomination. The vote was Z to 2, with Chairman w. l.. Harrison 3 and Mrs. Charles J. Sharpe support ing Bowen and NJ. P. Phillips and Elmer Thuston voting against him.
 Commission President McLendon said the commission would act next Tuesday. He urged the park board to try to cen ter on candidate in advance of the commissions meeting.
 We will cast about for man-or woman, to fill the vacancy" McLen- don said, "but I should personally be glad to have the park board tell me its wishes in the matter. Harmony on the board is what l want"
 Dickson took a similar view, saying he thought it would be useless for the commission again to certify Bowen's name. He expressed the be- lief that the board could meet and solve the muddle in a few minutes.
 Session Spirited
 The park boards session was short but spirited. Petitions signed by num- Der of Avondale citizens and organized labor leaders, urging the reelection of Bowen, were presented by committee led by Attorney Frank s. Address.
 The signers of these petitions ad- dressed their appeal directly to MT. Thuston, and speakers who advocated Bowen's confirmation also centered their fire on Thuston, evidently hav- ing abandoned hope that Phillips would change his position.
 Thuston, in a vigorous speech, said he would not vote to confirm Mir. Bowen. T am sorry that because l saw fit not to vote for Mir. Bowen, some of my good friends have seen fit to re- gard my action as a slap at organized labor. I fear God but not man, and those who are not satisfied have the right under the law to take steps to have me impeached."
 After the deadlock prevented Bowen s confirmation, Chairman Harrison told the board he did not see how it could function in its present predicament. This also was the, opinion of Mrs. Sharp. Without transacting any other business, the board adjourned.
 The city commissions plan to nom- mate another person to fill the vacancy probably means that the deadlock not in effect will be broken within a week.
