RAW DARYMEN TO RENEW MOVE
 FOR ORDINANCE
Reopening Of Fight For Stabilization Seems
 Certain

Just when city commissioners had begun to hope that the 'stabilization" milk ordinance was on the shelf to stay, word reached the municipal building Tuesday that the attorneys representing the 2S raw milk dairymen behind the ordinance are preparing to demand a vote.
 The introduction of this ordinance several months ago brought on the hot test milk war the city has ever known. Commissioner ". B. Cloe led the fight for the raw milk dairymen, and Com missioner W. E. Dickson indicated he favored their proposed measure. The other commissioners sided with the health authorities, who charged that the ordinance would menage the public health and prevent the proper control of typhoid and infant colitis.
 For weeks commissioners said the matter would come up when Mrs. Mary Echols, commissioner of health, recOv- cred from her illness. Mrs. Echols has been back several weeks and no one at city hall has called up the ordinance.
 Some of the commissioners admit pri- vately that they would prefer for the ordinance to remain on the shelf, but the word was passed Tuesday that there will be no such luck. For Attorneys Roderick Beddow and Hugh Locke are going to demand that the measure be disposed of. It is believed that vote will be sought next Tuesday-if the en- tire commission is present.

PARKER MUST FACE
 CONTEMPT CHARGES
Former City Auditor Accused Of
 Non-Support

c. Palmer Parker will face charge of contempt of court before Chancery Judge William M. Walker, it was learned Tuesday, when he returns to Birmingham in the spring to be tried in the criminal division of the court, on a charge of desertion and non-sup- port of his present wife.
 Parker; the former city auditor who made two audits of the city books without disclosing the $52,OO0 short age found by the present auditor, was sentenced to 12 months at hard labor after being found guilty of desertion and non-support before Judge Virginia H. Mayfield of the court of domestic relations a week ago. This sentence was appealed and Parker released under a $1,OO0 appeal bond.
 Pending the appeal, he was ordered to pay his present wife, $100 a month alimony. At the same time, a citation against Parker was issued by Judge Walker, upon petition of Parker's first wife, claiming that he has not full filled the courts orders in regard to alimony.
 Service on this was not obtained on Parker, and is to be held up until he returns to Birmingham in the spring to the hearing of his appeal to the cir cult court of the nOn-support charge.

 proval Of Plans

Officials of the Louisville & Nashville and Seaboard Air Line railroads are in conference in Atlanta with R. B. Pegram, vice-president of the Southern railway, over the Birmingham grade crossing situation, according to informa- tion received here Tuesday.
 The Louisville & Nashville and Sea board officials, it was reported, have urged MT. Pegram to approve, on behalf of the Southern, the plans for the Twenty-fourth street viaduct, in order that the construction work may be Twenty-sixth street viaduct plans also are under discussion, it was said.
 Both the Louisville & Nashville and Seaboard heads have approved the Twenty-fourth street plans, and only the approval of MT. Pegram is neces- sary in order to insure a speedy start of construction work. In view of the fact that the other railroads, the Bir- mingham Chamber of Commerce, the city commissioners and numerous prop erty owners are working for a quick agreement, it is felt here that MT. Pegram will be ready to announce the Southern's acceptance of the plans when he comes to Birmingham within the next few days.
 Pending his arrival, property owners pushing the Twenty-fourth' street pro- ject will meet Wednesday or Friday for conference. At the city hall, ,com- mission members are confident, they say, that matters will be brought to a head early in January. The city's plans, already approved by two. of the three involved railroads, are completed and ordinances providing for the construc- tion work are ready for passage on short notice.

BIRMINGHAM SELMA.
 LINE NOW CLEARED
Trains Operate On Schedule
 Again Tuesday

The Southern Railway line between Birmingham and Selma was reported cleared Tuesday night following a freight wreck which delayed the arrival of train No. 20 due Monday night from Selma until 9 :OO o'clock Tuesday morn- ing. The chief dispatcher of the South ern said all trains were operating on time.
 Considerable inconvenience was caused many Birmingham residents and other travellers, when the train was thrown into series of mishaps, result ing from the wreck. The local official explained Tuesday that the freight crew was forced to quit work, just as the wreck should have engaged their at tention, due to the injunction on the Adamson law which forbids railroad from allowing trainmen to work over 16 hours. Again the necessity for a pilot engineer after the train had been de- toured from Gurnee junction to Wood stock was the cause for further delay.
