BOOSTING MCMILLAN AS
 SUCCESSOR TO MORAN
Move is Under Way 10 Have Famous
 Player Take Job as Coach at Centre College.

Danviile, Ky, Jan. 10.--One prom inent topic crowded other subjects in tc the conversational background to- day in this blue grass town, home of the Praying Colonels." of Center col lege. Discussion centered on the res ignation of Charles Moran, as Colonel coach, to accept @ similar post at Bucknel college, Lewisburg, Pa.
 Action on Moran's resignation by the athletic council or Centre was held in abeyance, pending return from New York of Dr. k. A. Montgomery Centre president Last year Moran signed d five-year contract with Gen. tre. It was intimated that he would be released.
 When announcement of Moran's resignation was made, friends here of 30 McMillin, who shone brilliantly as a Centre quarterback, and now is coach of the Centenary college eleven, Shreveport, La, entered his name as a successor to Uncle Charlie"
 Moran gained his coaching exper- fence at Texas A. X M., and later was assistant to Glenn Warner at the Car lisle Indian school. He came to Cen Ire in 1917 and has built up q football machine which won nationwide recog- milton. Of 67 games played by the Colonels since Moran took the team in hand, so were victories, one a tie and six defeats. Several times in that period Centre has won the state championship. In 1921 the Centre eleven won from Harvard 6 to 0. That was a great day for Centre. Be- sides McMillan, Moran developed Red Weaver, center, and Red Roberts, fullback, end and linesman.

LEGALITY TEST FOR NEW LIBRARY
 WILL BE FILED
Park Site For $65O,OOO Building To Cause
 Suit

A suit to test the legality of the plan to erect Birmingham's $660, ,000 public library in Woodrow Wilson park, probably will be filed soon, it was learned Wednesday.
 This litigation is to be of friendly nature and will be carried from circuit fast bill, thus assuring speedy de cision.
 City Attorney w. J. Wynn has held that the park can be used without vio- lating the spirit of the agreement that this park tract, donated to the city by the Elyton Land company, would be used only for a state capitol build ing site or for recreational purposes. By erecting an ornamental structure, such a library officials are planning. the move will be legal, Wynn believes.
 Members of the park and library boards are soon to meet to consider the city attorneys findings and decide on a course of action. .SoNo opposition to the movement has developed in either board.
 A member of the library board told The Age-Herald that the proposed friendly suits probably would be brought in order to remove absolutely all doubt as to the legality of the plan. A final decision can be ob- tained before the building plans are fully completed, members believe. { The library board asked the right to use the park aftereweeks of futile eff fort to find satisfactory building site in the downtown section that it could afford to buy out of its limited funds. By putting the entire $650, 900 in building, the library will be one of the finest in the south.

 DOTY ORE LANDS
Manganese Mining In Tennessee To Be Pushed
 By Alabamian

The manganese ore properties of Col. Edward Doty at Cleveland, Tenn, have been bonded for $500, 900, accord ing to information in local industrial circles. The bonds were underwritten by party of New York investors after engineers and chemists had given very flattering reports upon the contents of the managese find of Col Doty.
 It was stated in Birmingham Wednesday that Colonel Doty and a party of experts were in Cleveland, and would make an inspection of the properties during the next two or three days. It was stated that Colonel Doty near Cleveland, which contain man. ganese ores that have stood the most searching tests as to its practical use in steel making.
 It was stated that the money secured by the sale of the bonds will be used to develop the properties and that ores would be in the local market within a short time.
 The announcement a few weeks ago that Colonel Doty had secured the de- posits attracted the attention of local furnace and steel operators. There has DCoh qulct iHVeSIlSdLiOn uHucr- way since that time. The present supply of manganese ore comes from Brazil and other foreign countries. The inn port cost is very great and the finished manganese steel consequently is very costly. If Colonel Doty is successful in his mining at Cleveland, the deposits will have a tremendous influence in local steel manufacture and will be of great importance to all markets sup piled from Birmingham
 Colonel Doty relinquished his news paper interests at Huntsville, which he had just purchased, to take up the pro- motion of his ore properties.

The overhead clearance pro- vided for the railway is eighteen feet against the twenty-two feet requested by the railways here. The city desired the tracks to be depressed. The rail ways desired to elevate it's tracks. The city's plan was finally adopted, the city agreeing to pay all consequential damages, and 25 per cent of the costs.
 Judging from the plans, the eonse- quential damages will be light. This is the first time the city of Detroit has agreed to share4in the cost of any grade separation project.
