NO ADVlCES ON
 WARRIOR CHANGE
Pickley Transferred From New Orleans To Mobile As
 Manager

N. w. Guice, general agent of the Mississippi Warrior river section of the inland waterways service, Friday had not been officially advised of the change reported from Washington, un- der which the, Warrior will be made a trunk line between Birmingport and Mobile, separate from the Mississippi river division.
 Captain F. V. Pickley, at present superintendent of maintenance at New Orleans, is to be transferred to Mobile as operating manager of the Warrior section. it is understood. Col. T. Q. Ashburn will continue as chief of the inland waterways service, with head quarters at Washington.
 It is understood that the change will not affect Warrior river operations as far as traffic from Birmingham is con- cerned, except that appointment of Captain Pickley as operating manager at Mobile is expected to insure contin- ued good service and perhaps an i'm provement of facilities on the Warrior. The Port of Birmingham company in it's annual report made public last week called attention to the lack of suffi- cient steel barge facilities on the river, and it is hoped that the government will provide more floating equipment.

 IN CONVICT CAMPS
Board Of Revenue Receives Re-
 port Friday From Inspector

Fifteen convicts in Jefferson county convict camps have been punished for infraction of rules by being whipped with a lash within the past two months, according to the report of Dr. Glen Andrews. state prison inspector, which was made public at meeting of the board of revenue Friday.
 At Convict Camp No. 0, the report said, seven conyicts have been punished with leather strap. receiving from 8 to 10 lashes each while eight were punished in similar manner at the county convict farm. Five of the pris- oners punished at the convict farm were negro women and two were negro men.
 The report of Dr. Andrews was based on a recent visit to all the penal insti- tutions in the county. Sanitary condi- tions, food, sleeping quarters, and gen. eral treatment of the prisoners were reported as fairly satisfactory. Con- gestion in one or two of the camps and the crowding of sick and well prisoners into the same quarters were criticised.
 Members of the board of revenue and other county officials, in commenting upon the report of1sthe use of the lash on unruly conviets.A pointed out that this form of punishment had never been definitely abolished in this state, being only suspended by executive or der of the governor.
 No action was taken by the board of revenue on the report beyond or dering that copies of it be supplied county officials interested in it's con tentS

VIADUCTPLANS
 ARE ASSEMBLED
City In Possession Of Specifica- tions From All Interested
 Railroads

February 21 was set Friday as the date for final conference between railroad officials and city commis- sioners before actual work starts on viaducts and underpasses at Birming- hams numerous dangerous grade cross- ings.
 Plans of all the railroads are in the hands of City Engineer A. J. Hawkins. who is now engrossed in the task of consolidating and harmonizing them.
 As matters stand, construction work should be under way in short time, President D. k. McLendon said.
 The only feature of the viaduct move ment now worrying officials is the re- cent assertion by J. A Van Hoose. for mer mayor, that any effort to raise or lower track elevations at the crossings would be bitterly fought.
 An injunction is the weapon with which Mir. Van Hoose will seek to hold up the work, he has stated to members of the Birmingham Real Estate board The city legal department will resist any injunction proceedings that may be brought and will seek to get any liti- gation quickly disposed of in the courts

OAK IS CHOSEN
 MEMORIAL TREE
Avenue To Be Powered In Mem- ory Of Jefferson COunty's
 Soldier Dead

Arthur Greenwood, commander of the , Birmingham post of the American Le- zion, accompanied by Capt. Harris Smith of the memorial tree committee, spent Friday afternoon at Crooked creek inspecting several hundred water oak trees to be planted along the Dankhead highway in memory of the Jefferson county men who died in the World war. The water oak was adopted upon the recommendation of tree experts who pointed out that it was particularly adapted to Jefferson county soil and climate.
 The 500 or more trees will line the Bankhead highway on both sides, be- ginning at Pratt City and extending northward for several miles.
 Place Memorial Tablets
 On or directly beneath each tree will be placed a memorial tablet giving the name and military organization of the person in whose honor it is planted. The Bankhead highway was selected by the memorial tree committee because 1t is a national highway and considered one of the most used roads in the county.
 At meeting of the board of revenue . few days ago, county officials prom ised their cooperation with the Ameri can Legion in the planting of these trets, and many privat, citizens have already given a considerable sum to pay for them. The cost of digging the holes and actually setting out the trees will be borne by the county.
 Several dozen trees have already been ordered, MT. Greenwood said. and work will begin immediately on transplant ing them from the forests. It has been estimated that several dollars may be saved on every tree by having the en- tire project handled by the American Legion, instead of permitting each donor of tree to select it personally and attend to it's transplalting.
 Donors Selection
 It was pointed out that a person do- hating on ore more trees shall have the privilege of designating which of the Jefferson county soldier dead it will honor. While the first group of trees will be set out in memory of the 800 men who lost their lives during the war, it is hoped eventually to plant one for each of the 5000 who entered the service.
 Although the plan was announced only few days ago, several large con tributions have already been received. The American Hellenic society was the first contributor, giving $50. Approxi- mately $350 had been received up to Friday night,
