"CUBIST" SPELLING
Irwin s: Cobb Says He FOrsakes Vel

Irwin S. Cobb Says He Forsakes Web. ster When He Attacks Typewriter 4sStI see no reason why a writer can- not express his finer thoughts->if so be he had any finer thoughts on type writer as readily as he might by using the pen or the pencil. Certainly what ever contributes to facility and the sav- ing of manual labor should enhance rather than retard the mental side of the operation, writes Irwin s. Cobb in the New York Times.
 "As general rule, I employ the type writer in making the first drafts of my stories. I am not an expert typist, al- though 1 am fairly swift one. Also, tendency of mine for originality in the matter of spelling reaches its finest lfruitage when 1 use the machine. I am not exactly reactionary in the matter of spelling, but I may say I was proba- bly the first cubist speller in America.
 Naturally, I have the pride of pio- neer when l reflect back upon the grati- flying fact that I was the one who, gears and years ago, broke away from the suited, conventional, Photographic school of Noah Webster and the Gen. tury Unabridged Dictionary. The only reason why my published writings do not resemble in their orthography the works of Artemus Ward f0r Josh Bill 1 ings is because my secretary is still 6 1 disciple of the old matters.
 '-In revising or polishing up my manuscripts often do certain portions with a pen or pencil, usually bor rowed pencil because I am constantly losing those pencils I buy for myself I do not know why do this. suppos, | it is habit"

 ants Insufficient

At the request of Solicitor Jim Davis, Judge William E. Fort Friday nol-prossed the cases of alIeged kid .naping and assault with intent to .mur- der against six. men charged with. flog- ging Dr. J. D. Bowling, city and county health officer, more than a year ago.
 Judge Fort stated in his ruling that this step had been decided upon at the request of Dr. Bowling and was based on the statement of Solicitor Davis that the evidence now available was insufficient to obtain convictions and no additional evidence was to be ob- tained.
 The six men, who had been formal ly indicted by the Jefferson county grand jury, were Sam Cargo, Frank Ford, George c. Moore, Will Prosch, Charles Tyson and G. c. Williams.
 Two other men, E. c. Jacks and F. N. Newman, who were tried several months ago and acquitted.

NEW YORK GIRL | IS OUT OF JAIL
 FREE OF THEFT
Viola Harrington Relates Story That Possibly
 Won Release

Mrs. Viola Harrington, pretty % year-old bob-haired girl from New York, held at the Birmingham city jail for nearly IS hours on a grand lar ceny charge, is free.
 Charges placed against her in New York city by Mrs. Mary Kohler have been dropped, telegram to Chief Fred H. McDuff from New York police stated. v
 With her strong stories of innocence, apparently corrborated, Mrs. Harring- ton Saturday was visiting friends, re- cuperating from her recent experiences and awaiting the. arrival of her hus- band, who is expected in Birmingham early Saturday. Mrs. Harrington will return to New York with her husband, she said Friday afternoon following her release from custody. The jewels that were the cause of her detention here will be returned to Mrs. Kohler as soon as possible, she said,
 Repeats Stories
 Continuing her protestations of in nocence of any wrong-doing, Mrs. liar rington Friday repeated her former stories regarding the manner in which she came into possession of the jewels, valued at about $2,800.
 "I was on a party with Mir. and Mrs. Kohler," she said, "and Mir. Kohler picked up three men friends of his, who apparently were gunmen. These men sat in the rear seat of the car with Mrs. Kohler. They stole a broach and other jewelry from her, and attempted to get the rings. When we were stopped for few moments in front of the Kohler home. Mrs. Kohler gave me the rings, telling me to guard them.
 T had not been dringing so much as the others and my mind was still clear. Something must have happened to me shortly after that, for. I don't remember another thing that, hap pened until I was in Birmingham.
 Still excited over her experience and with her mind in a whirl, Mrs. Har- rington was scarcely able to talk after she was released. She appeared anxious for her husband to arrive and take her back home and she was over. joyed that her name had been cleared.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 23.-- Baldwin county cucumber crop is ex. pected to yield TOO to 800 carloads this year, according to N. II. Brown of the state department of agriculture, who returned today from the Gulf coast section. AIr. Brown stated that the cucumber movement has started this year with stride never before equaled, growers in some cases netting $1,000 per acre from the crop.
 The cabbage movement will be oyer in about a week. Figures furnished by Mir. Brown indicates that the Gulf coast section, where cabbage rather than cotton is king, was hard hit by exceptionally cold weather of the past winter. To May 21 of this year Ala bama's cabbage shipments amounted to anly 562 carloads, against 1889 car loads to the same date last year.

 Alabama and Georgia were principals in a bit of repartee as to the relative growth and standing of the two states, indulged in at the banquet of the Lions club district convention, which closed here yesterday. Gov. W. w. Brandon had just finished a ringing address of welcome to the delegates from the eighth Lions district, which included the states of Alabama, Georgia and Florida, when an unknown Georgia delegate stepped forward, as the ap- plause subsided. ''Mr. Toastmaster," the Georgian cried, 'on behalf of the great state or Georgia, allow me to say, after listening to the eloquence of your distinguished governor, that Geor- gia is proud to say that Alabama is her daughter"
 "The gentleman from Georgia can go back home and tell the folks there that the gal has outgrown her mother" Governor Brandon thundered promptly in reply. The laugh was on the Geor- gia delegate, who, however, recovered sufficiently within few minutes to retort that probably Alabama, like some other modern young women, thinks she is bigger than her mother"

LTTY WILL TEST FRIGHT OF ROADS : TO 4KICK' CARS
Grew Foreman Is Fined sWhen Car Sails Across
 Unprotected Street

Charged with, kicking" freight cars Nger grade crossings, E. L.. Dedman, torman of a switching crew, was fined $50, in police court Thursday in the 6pening case of what will be an inten- five campaign by the city to get such 6ases into the highes courts for a precedent.
 z Dedman told RoceordeF Henry J. Martin that switching freight cars was a matter of time, where speed vas of high value and the "kicking' Mas done to save time.
 K For the information of the un- aitiated it was explained that the kick Mg consisted in the switch engine moving an uncoupled care and sending iF under momentum to distance, usual H onto another track.
 The city seriously objects to these fee rolling cars, sometimes with a Brakeman on them, sometimes unat- tended, sailing across public thorough fares with no chance, most of the time, for their momentum to be checked re- Gardless of what might be i'll their path.
 MReberg and Hairless, motocySle scouts. made the arrest. They testified that they saw a free box car kicked across a street and warned Dedman of the danger, and that the switchman prom ised to abate the practice. The officers said they rode half block away from the intersection of Fourteenth street and Avenue B where they spoke to Ded- man, and then waited. A few minutes later another box ear came sailing across the street. They put Dedman under bond. Later in the day they made note of q similar offense at another grade crossing. -- .s S Dedman explained to the recorder hat in the limited time allowed for making up and distributing the cars 0f freight trains the handling of each Ny the locomotive would take an un- usually long time, an expensive delay.
 { Recorder Martin asked the switch man if he was under instructions from the railroads to kick the cars past grade crossings, but Dedman declined to place the burden of responsibility on the roads.
 The city wants the case appealed. Hence the $50 fine, but doubt was oppressed whether or not an appeal will be taken. If it is not, it is said. there will be many arrests for such violation, many fines, and in time the jRse, or similar cases, will reach the Higher courts.
 wThe offense of kicking cars over grade crossings is violation of section ID of the traffic code.

JAIL RADIO
 AUTHORIZED g
 BY COUNTY

PENSIONERS in the county jail
 will be treated to music, lec-
 lures and sermons from all parts of the country as soon as the new radio set authorized Friday by the board of revenue can be in- stalled.
 The set was provided at the re- quest of the Baraca class of the First Baptist church. A letter from P. NJ. Carlyle, chairman of the spe- cial committee appointed for that purpose, was read at the board meeting.
 Mir. Carlyle said that the class planned to make a similar. request of the state prison board to provide sets for the various state prison camps scattered throughout the county.
 The set which will be installed in the county jail will be one of the most complete on the market, ac- cording to county officials, and capable of receiving programs broadcast from practically every station in the United States.
