PLAGUE VACCINE SEEMS ASSURED,
 SAYS DR. KLOTZ
Distinguished Physicians Address Tuberculosis
 Meeting Here

Belief, that within few years, pre- ventative vaccination for tuberculosis would be found, was expressed Friday night by Dr. Walter Klotz, head of the National Soldiers Tuberculosis Sana- torium at Johnson City, Tenn, speak ing before the members of the joint conference of the Southern Sanatorium association and thes Southern sTuhercu- losis conference at the Tutwiler hotel.
 Experiments to that end are now boz ing made by Dr. Calmette of Paris, and already favorable results have been achieved, Dr. Klotz asserted, adding that the work was still in an experi- mental stage. If Dr. Calmette's eXperi- ments finally evolve a vaccine, it will be purely preventative in character and in no sense cure, he added.
 "Calmette is a reliable physician and has worked with the PaSteur institute and other noted European physicians. He has been carrying on his experi- ments for a number of years in an effort to find some maens of prevent ing the white plague, and in some meas ure has been successful" Dr. Klotz asserted.
 "He has experimented with cattle and been able to prevent tuberculosis in- lection by the use of preventative vaccine. The immunity, however, lasts only one year. He has worked with two groups of children in Paris with fair results.
 Work Experimental
 But several years must elapse be- fore this work passes the experimental stage. Yet, already two facts are ap- parent. The vaccine will be only a kok kA to revaccinate as stated intervals to secure immunity"
 Continuing his talk, Dr. Klotz as- serted that the battle against tubercu- Iosis in the south, to be successful, must be directed toward both races. Tuberculosis can not be wiped out among whites while it rages among the blacks. For the next generation of white children would be infected by casual proximity with the blacks, Dr. KlOtz said.
 The conference Friday morning di- vided into two sections. The session was general, dealing with methods of raising funds to carry on the war against the disease. The other session was business meeting of the Southern SanatOrium conference.
 At this meeting, the following off cers for the ensuing year were elected {: Dr. E. J. Murray, Julius Marks San atorium, Lexington, Ky, president i; Dr. P. P. Mccain of the North Caro- lima Tuberculosis Sanatorium, secre- tary-treasurer and Dr. J. L. Spruill, of Jamestown, N. O., new member of the executive board. It also was de- cided to held the mid-winter meeting at the same place and time as that of the Southern Tuberculosis conference.
 Dr. c. J. Hatfield, president of the National Tuberculosis association and Dr. A. J. Klotz, executive secretary of the National Health council were the (COntinued on Page TwO)

FRANCE FUNERAL

Funeral Of Literary Figure To Be Occasion For Mourning
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Oct. 1.-The funeral to- morrow of Anatole France will be the occasion for national mourning and for a demonstration of tribute to the mem- orv off the monumental literary figure which probably will exceed in magni- tude and impressiveness any similar na- tional expression of feeling since the interment of Victor Hugo. The main ister of public instruction has ordered that all of the schools remain closed to- morrow afternoon so that the children may attend the funeral.
 President Doumergue went this aft ernoon to the France home, where the body of the famous academician is lying in state, while Premier HerriOt and the other members of the cabinet called to pay their respects during the morning: During the day a constant stream or visitors representing all stations of so- cial life from the highest to the most humble passed the body.

 Investigators
(By Associated 2ress)

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Wil- liam M. Butler, chairman of the republican national com mittee, informed the special committee today that it is "the hope and expectation" of his organization to raise a total of $3,OOO,O0O for the national campaign, presidential, sena- torial and congressional. MT. Butler denied charges of Sen ator La Toilette that his com mittee would mobilize a large mass of funds in certain states during the last weeks of the campaign. His denial was in reply to questions by Senator Shipstead, farmer-labor, Min nesota. ..,.-,.sy. s......
 We have no such intention, and have no such preparations" Mir Butler said We have no ability to do it. We have no funds for purposes of that kind. There is no intention of doing anything of the sort. I want very much to con duct this campaign in such a way that when I get through it will be some thing to be proud of"
 Under cross examination by Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, regard ing the budget plans of his committee, MT. Butler testified that originally he had estimated $2,500,000 as the amount that would be required for the cam paign. This sum was increased by $500,000 later, he added, after it had been decided to take care of the sen atorial and congressional campaigns as well.
 Calling attention that evidence before the committee was that the republican organization had already collected ap- proximately $1,700,000, Senator Cara way asked if it was expected to collect an additional $1,300,000.
 A Modest Sum
 That is a modest amount in view of expenditures that have been made heretofore" President Coolidge's field marshal told the committec.A
 Chairman Borah inquired as to the source to which the funds had been put, and Mir. Butler said it was used by the various bureaus within the organ ization.
 Are there any organizations which are rasing money and expending it for the republican ticket other than your own organization?" asked Senator Borah.
 None that I am aware of, except the different state organizations" Butler replied.
 Senator Caraway, democrat. Arkan- sas, took over the examination.
 "WhO Is AuthOrity?"
 Are you the sole authority when il comes to the question of what shall or shall not be done with the funds raised?' he asked.
 That's difficult question to an swer," Butler replied. T take the ad- vice of other people"
 But you are the final authority?" pursued Senator Caraway.
 You can answer that yes or no"

BOSTON, Oct. 1.-The cash value of a college education to its possessor is $72,000, according to report made public today by Dean Everett W. Lord of the Boston Uni versity College of Business adminis- tration. The report is based on a long study of the earning capacity of college graduates. The cash value of high school educatoion is placed by the report at $33,0O0.
 The report gives the average maximum income of the untrained man as $1,200; that of the high school graduate as $2,200 and of the college graduate as $6,000. The total earnings of each of the three types, up the age of 60 are placed at. $45,0O0; $7s,000 and $150, 900, re- spectively.
 "The untrained man goes to work as a boy of IA and reaches his maxi mum income at the age of 30," the report said. This maximum is on the average less than $1 200 in q year. The figures show that more than 60 out of every 100 untrained workers are dependent upon others for sup port at the age of GO. Between the ages of IA and IS, the four years which might have been spent in high school the young man usually earns

CLOSE CONTEST IS PREDICTED THIS AFTERNOON Tigers Rate As One Of Best Teams In The
 South
COLLEGE CROWDS
 THRONG THE CITY
Special Trains Bring Fans From All Parts
 Of State

King Football reigns today in Birmingham, for the col legians have taken the city. Special trains from all sec tions of the state unloaded hordes of fans Friday after noon and night, while others coming Saturday morning will add to the growing throng as the stage is set for the Magic City gridiron classic between the University of Alabama and Sewanee.
 Hotel accomodations in the city were taxed to handle the mass of visitors. The Tutwiler, headquarters for both elevens, was damned with both Ala bama and Sewanee students and fSns Friday night and with the coming Of the big day of the game che splashes of Crimson White and Purple-Whirs will be found on all by-ways of the city.
 The Sewanee team arrived Friday morning at 10 o'clock and Coach Ben- nett took hin cohorts out to tue Coun- try club for brisk workout, He ex- pressed himself as well satisfied with his aggregation which has been Uelstered during the week by the return of three men who have been on the injured list.
 Arrived On Special
 The Alabama team arrived on a spe- cial train Friday afternoon. Along with the team came, 100 or m9re 'Baua packers while the regular Southern tr,iin leaving out of the Druid City a little letter had a passenger list of something over 275 Alabama students. However, Saturday morning will bring the migra- tion of the city of Tuscaloosa as q whole, almost, to Birmingham for the game In addition to q special train, which will run Saturday morning all manner of motive vehicles will be pressed into service to transport the fans. Consequently, one of the biggest crowds in the history of football at Birmingham is expected to jam Rick wood Saturday afternoon.
 The coming battle shows all indi- cations of being the greatest in the his- tory of the Sewanee-Alabama struggles. After getting off to mediocre stGrL the Sewanee Tigers sprang a big sur prise by holding the Texas Aggies, the strongest of southwestern teams, to Q lone touchdown in a game in Dallas last week, This showing rated the Se- vance Purple among the really great teams of the south and as a consequence the Alabama Crimsons will be hard pressed to hold their own if the moun- tain clan continues to play the brand of ball flashed in the last game.
 Both coaches have been driving their charges hard during the week for the fraeas and this game will be the cul- imitation of the greatest week of train ing for either squad. Coach Bennett, though just returned from a long trip into Texas, had no mercy on the Tigers and set them to scrimmaging Tuesday in

not more than $2,00O.
 'The high school graduate goes to work at IS, having lost the oppor- tunity to earn $2,000 which the un. trained man earns during this period. However, starting at IS the high school graduate passes the maximum income of the untrained man in seven years, rises steadily to his own maximum of $2,200 at 40 and con tinues at that level for the rest of his life. He averages total earning of $78,O00 from IS to 60. The $33,OO0 excess over the life earnings of the untrained man represents the cash value of four-year high school course.
 Now, consider the college or tech nical school graduate. His perma- nent earnings begin at 2, although a considerable amount may have been earned during the college course. By the time he is 2S his income equals that of the high school graduate at 40 and it continues to rise practical ly without a break. Since his income is dependent upon his mental ability and training constantly improved by practice, it increases instead of dimin- ishing with the years. The college or technical school graduates aver age income of $6,000 at 60 years is often surpassed"

 While Arguing Case
 Before Judge Euans
Birmingham Attorney Is Victim Of Heart At-
 tack At Courthouse

c. P. Beddow, 3430 Highland avenue one of the most prominent attorneys in Birmingham, dropped dead while argu ing case before Circuit Judge Richard Evans at 3 40 o'clock Friday afternoon
 Heart trouble, growing out of an at. tack of dengue fever nearly two years ago, is believed to have been the cause of death, which came instantly.
 At. the time he was stricken MT Beddow was arguing the plaintiffs side of the case of Alfred Byrd vs. the Sloss. Sheffield Steel and Iron company. After joking with the jury, Mir. Beddow asked court attaches for a copy of the bill of complaint.

 Sons Collapse
 His two sons living in Birmingham Roderick Beddow. attorney, and Dr W. H. Beddow, collapsed when taken into the court room while physicians were trying to restore the stricken man
 While Mir. Beddow had been in pool health since an illness nearly two years ago, there was no indication of an un- usual weakness yesterday, his friends say. Those who were present at the time he was stricken believe that he had little or no premonition of the approaching end.
 Mir. Beddow was born near Chatta nooga 63 years ago and spent his boy hood in that city. After being admitted to the bar he practiced law in Chatta' nooga for several years. Mir. BeddoW moved to Birmingham in 1892, and fol q number of years was employed by the Sloss-S Sheffield Steel and Iron company

 NOME, Alaska, Oct. IT, Charles Wells, an American citizen, and thirteen Eskimos left on Wrangel Island last year by the Stefansson Cana dian expedition under Captain Harold Noice, have been taken to Siberia by the Russian arm ed transport Red October. Steps have been taken here to ask Washington to act. The re- port of Wells removal was brought here by Captain Cas- tel of the schooner Aarnout, which arrived from East Cape, Siberia, today. Captain Cas- tel said he was unable to learn whether the removal had been by force or by consent. It was reported that valuable |furs had been seized by the soviet officials.
 The Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce has telegraphed protest to the American department of state and to the Alaskan delegation in congress, re- questing that the United States cutter Moiaya, due to Nome shortly, be order ed to insure the safety of Wells and the confiscated property.
 Lomen Brothers, Alaskan purchasers of Wrangel hunting and fishing rights, claimed by Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the lexnIorer. also announced that they im- mediately would telegraph to Washing ion to request for government action.
