 'The feeling among the 15 or niors legislators who attended this conference was that legislation affecting Birming- ham hereafter would be scrutinized more closely than ever before and the poli- ticians in the Magic City would be held closely to the 1ick-log,' if you get what 1 mean" eg
 ~ Members Angry
 Speakers at the Montgomery confer ence pointed out, according to Mr. Tuns- tall, that the legislature has full au- thority to change the Birmingham form of government at any time, as well as to make various changes in the lawo affecting the city.
 And he went on, 'there are many legislators who. in the thick of this cam paign, are just mad enough to insist on retaliating when the time presents itself.
 Tn my judgment, the only thing that will prevent such retaliation will be an admonition from Senator Underwood himself-and of course that would be in. stantly forthcoming if he knew of these plans''
 Mir. Tunstall said Jefferson county and l.. E. Musgrove's home county ok Walker are the only counties in the state where the Underwood forces arc meeting determined opposition. zsA

 Ali Tunstall, chairman of the sena- tors campaign and veteran political leader, believes this may happen.
 Il know it to be a fact he said that the rest of the state is mighty resentful over the way petty politj- clans and their followers are acting in Birmingham, the home city of the first man the state has yet had the opportun- ity to put in the White House.
 Feeling Runs High
 Tunstall announced that a few days ago, in the Exchange hotel in Mont gomery, the Birmingham situation was discussed at length by political leaders from various counties, and that feeling was running high"
 All Alabama" he said ''is proud of Birmingham and it's great progress, but at the same time is ashamed of the

 Elledge, taking no chances, fired one shell, all the gun contained, and the negro fell to the ground.
 Threats Heard .
 Although there were few muttered threats against Dowell after his ar rest, police deny that there was any evidence of mob violence.

zONING A LIVE ISSUE
 IN EVERY CITY

Zoning regulations are meeting with favor in big cities as well as small cities. There are sona wac seem to be of the opinion that zon- ing is particularly small town stuff" If there are any such in New Britain it is only necessary 10 point out that zoniug IS live topic in such small place like New York City.
 It appears that Now Tork's mcr- eantile and retail sections are con- stantly menaced by the erection Of manufacturing buildings or the taking over of structures for this purpose. The Fifth and Park ave nue association, composed Of busi- ness men on those thoroughfares are aroused over the possibility Of having their locations ruIned by the steady influx of manufacturing establishments from downtown, and have started a movement to pre- vent such institutions from b"ing established in the so-caued Mid town region, or the heart of inc city.
 Zoning is a live topic in virtually every modern city; logic and com mon sense usually are on its side,

TEA NAGNATllS 60 AFTER
 COFFEE. MiRkET

With the price of coffee higher than it used 10 ho, ostensibly due 10 the recent revolution in Brazil, although immense, quantities of coftfe arc said to have been hypo- thacated to British spectators, the tea trade is picking up.
 The tea crop seems to be all that could he desired, and a drive is un1or way to induce the American people 70 drink more of the bev- craze. Now that the public is in cIinod 10 sow a little on the coffee magnates the toa magnates have taken heart and will make strong effort 10 cultivate a vast market in the United States which they think is susceptible of being n1u- cated to the advantages Of tea drinking.
 T'a drinking is a popular method Of acquiring ]i1uorizod kick in E0cIand and the British dominions; coffee drinking has been tho popu- lar method in the United States. Both motho1s have something in ,hoI favor. Both drinks are slight stimulan's, and there are some few who claim that neither is an assistant 10 bodily health. That charge is generally known, but it Goos not function as a deterrent.
