DRIVE IS STARTED ON LOCAL YEGGS
Police Believe Gang Of Amateurs At Work
 Here

Birmingham detectives renewed their search Friday for the gang of vegas which victimized a number of the down. town business firms some weeks ago and who recommended activities during the holidays. Recent burglary and safe robbing jobs, however, netted only S13.55.
 The two latest robberies were the Southern Life and Health company, sos North Twenty-third street, and the Mosely- -Henderson-Davis company, who occupy the ground floor of the same buildnc. The firms were robbed at a late hour Christmas night, it is be- lieved by the detectives. Discovery was not made until business was resumed Friday morning.
 By climbing outside fire escapes to yle third floor the iptruders gained ad- mittonce through a window to the Southern Life offices. Rifling of every thing which resemlled a money con tainer netted them oply $S.55 and $5 in Stamps. Combiraiio.s were broken from two fafes but failedsto gain en- trance to either. where bstween $500 ard S400 was locked
 According to City Detectives R. J. Walton and W. H. Propst, the band ncw working the business sections is different from the one which previously entered the safes of number of busi- ness firms and their rerec ted efforts to open safes and failures stamr them as amateurs.

WOMEN LOSING
 VOTE INTEREST
Survey Shows Decline In Num-
 Der Of Feminine Ballots

Jefferson county women are losing their interest in the ballot, according to survey of the records of Tax Col lector James F. Hawkins. Men, on the other hand, are showing an increasing interest in politics and the number of men who are paying poll tax is expected to be larger this year than ever before.
 When the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution went into effect, over 12,000 women paid poll tax, MT. Hawk ns said This number has decreased at the rate of 5000 a year for the past two years. Until the poll tax books on January 31, 1924, it will be impos- sible to make any predictions for 1925, he added.
 Jefferson county is not exceptional in this decrease in women voters as a great many counties are showing a similar trend, Mir. Hawkins declared, and in great many, the number of men paying poll tax, also is decreasing. In support of this statement, he pointed out that the total state vote at the last election was about 166,OO0, having dropped from over 100000
 Only 3,0OO former soldiers. sailors and marines have paid their poll tax, Mir. Hawkins books show. This is Il i, drop of 1000 from 1921. This loss, however, has been made up by the fact the new voter. coming from other coun- ties and states, have been paying their tuxes.

BANKS TO HOLD
 ANNUAL MEETING DURING JANUARY
Reports Are Expected To Show Unusually Good
 Year

With better reports for stockholders than ever before and without changes of consequence scheduled, the annual meetings of all banks in Birmingham will be held about the middle of Jan uary.
 It was stated Friday in financial cir cles that 1924 had been one of the best years in the history of Birmingham banks. Earnings have been unusually great and the officials are said to have every reason to feel satisfied with the reports to be made.
 Local bankers estimated that divi- dends amounting to over S6OO,OOO had been earned during 1924. The earn ings were net and after all operating expenses, taxes and reserve had been provided for. The stock varies in rate of dividend payment.
 The most outstanding change in the local financial situation will be the liquidation of the Federated Bank and Trust company and it's amalgamation into the Brotherhood bank, recently buying the old Ledger building at Twenty first street and First avenue. That bank will take from the Federal Reserve branch William C. Sterret and make him vice president. William Moore will serve as assistant cashier. The place of Mir. Sterrett will be filled by H. B. Fomar, according to Alex Walker, who is to become managing di- rector of the Federal Reserve Januay l.
 To Fill Vacancy
 The American Trust and Savings bank is to face the proposition of fill ing the vacancy caused on the board by the recent death of Henry l.. Badham. No announcement has been made as to who will be given that place.
 The other banks in the city, lnclud- ing the Birmingham Trust, Traders, Bank of Ensley and Bank of Alabama, as well as the Pratt City Savings bank, Woodlawn Savings bank, the North Birmingham Trust, the Avondale bank and the Tarrant City bank, have no changes.
 The year 1924 has witnessed the opening of several banks in surburban section, all of them apparently render ing a service to their respective com munities. In every case it is stated the younger banks have prospered and made friends. The only change in stock in creases so far contemplated is that the Bank of Ensley, which announced dur ing the past few days an increase or It's capital and surplus.

HARRIS SPEAKER
 BEFORE CIVITANS
Club Members Hear Interesting
 Discussion Of Optimism

"These men who talk of the good old days,' who love to dwell on the era of so-called chivalry, forget that we are heir to all that is best in ages long since past" said Champion Harris, in addressing his fellow Civilians on "Op- timism' at the regular weekly lunch con of the Birmingham Civitan club Friday at the Tutwiler hotel.
 "The golden age was not that of the great Greeks. It is here today. The problems of the world the world is solving. We read of the French revo- lution and of the struggle of the peas ants of France to throw off the yoke of the fe6ual lords and princes and king, but today before our eyes nation three times as large as France, is struggling to escape one prison and bringing on itself another. But from it all Russia will develop and come out as a nation which will add greatly to the sum total of human happiness.
 R. P. McGowan, president of the club, presided and expressed his thanks to those who worked so faithfully to make last Fridays Christmas party for the children of the Mercy Home a slccess. It was also voted to turn over the balance remaining from the eel ebration to the educational fund of the Mercy Home, which las been created to help those children who on account of their age must leave, to obtain their additional education.

 The prizes of the day were awarded to John w. Lambert and Fred M. Jack sor. and the latter, to show his ap- oreciatlon, read some interesting facts and figures about Uncle Sam" at the end os 1924, showing large increase of prosperity much of which he credited to prohibition.
 President McGowan was authorized to appoint a committee to draw up resolutions for the club thanking Dr. Thomas A. Cheatham for his work in arranging the details of last week s Christmas party.

CHAMBER IN LINE.
 TO PUSH VIADUCT. FOR FAITH STREET.
Ingalls, Assured Of Square Deal From R. B.
 Pegram

The chamber of commerce Friday lined m with forces attempting to gain a settlement in the Twenty-fourth street yiaduct controversy, which now hinges upon the decision of R. B. Pegram. vice president of the Southern laiIroad.. and pledged its cooperation in bringing the matter to immediate adjustment.
 In the first statement given to the press on grade crossing separations since the unsuccessful effort of the chamber to bring the city and rail- roads together, R. I. Ingalls,, president of the organization, voices hope of solution in the near future.
 While the chamber has taken no active part since the meeting we held jointly with city and railroad officials" !" Mir. Ingalls, said, i've are still much interested in the problem and we will do everything within our power to settle the question. While I admit some disappointment at the failure of General Siberts plan to materalize, the chamber is not sulking and it is will ing to spend additional endeavor to any reasonable plan that will bring relief"
 Tribute Paid Pegram
 Mir. Ingalls, paid a tribute to Mir. Pegram. who will determine the im- mediate fate of the Twenty-fourth street viaduct. He declared that he con- sidered the railroad executive competent to use good judgement in the matter and that he felt Mir. Pegram would not hold out against the agreement reached by the Seaboard, Louisville and Nash vile railroads and commissioners.
 "You can depend upon it that Mir. Pegam will be fair," he asserted. If he has been given any manner of feasi- ble break he will agree, as his interest has always been toward the betterment of conditions in the south and in Bir- mingham."
 Awaiting Mir. Pegram's reply to their final letter on plan for disposition of cost for the Twenty-fourth street via duct, the committee of six, which has been instrumental in bringing the prob- lem to a head, rested on its care Fri day. It was stated by one of the number that Mir. Pegram's answer to the plan is expected the first part of next week. The committees proposal is for the city to stand 35 per cent of the viaduct construction cost and a like amount of abutting property damages. A majority of the commits sioners and two of the carriers have agreed to this proposition.

NO CLUES FOUND
 IN POOR ATTACK
Injured Man Unable To Identify
 AsSailant

Police investigation into the incident Thursday in which J. A. Poor, Wood lawn, sustained a fractured skull, made little headway Friday according to De- tective E. A. Lyons, on account of the mans condition which prevented him from giving officers any clues to work upon.
 At the hospital Poor's condition is re- ported as being about the same. At tendants said he spent restful night and day, but that his condition was serious.
 Poor was struck over the head with an automobile crank early Christmas morning by an unidentified motorist at First avenue and Fifty-sixth street. The driver is alleged to have attacked the man when he attempted to take his number for blocking traffic on the street.
