 SHOW IN ARMORY
All Sorts Of Good Things To Eat Distributed
 By Exhibitors

:, Birmingham's first food exposition opened Wednesday night at z o'clock to Q crowd that before half hour had completely, filled the floor of the armory ut Second avenue and Eighteenth street. The Retail Grocers. and Butchers association, sponsors of the exposition, said the attendance ex= ceeded thei- best hopes.
 Door receipts compiled at the close of the day showed that 3,0S2 persons wis ited the exposition between : and 10 30 o'clock.
 Hundreds of housewives and the gem eral public crowded the aisles between its B booths; filled the floor of its dancing hall, and stood at the counters of the individual exhibitors eating tiny biscuits, munching all sorts of cakes. sandwiches and drinking the Hast drop"
 Free Samples
 The old black mammies dozen fee and served food unccasingly to the housewives, but it remained for the pretty and bobbed haired young ladies to draw the male element-and hold it.
 A score of young men centered around dark auburn-haired demon strator and learned over and over the important art of making some sort of special griddle cake-or it might have been Q fruit salad
 Several dozen children tasted the sausage of one exhibitor until the sausage. was gone. A half hundred or large paper sacks full of literature and samples.
 Expert Demonstrators
 The exhibits were some of the most novel and nicely arranged that could be assembled i; the demonstrations were conducted by culinary experts from the leading southern cities. Birmingham products came in for enthusiastci praise at the hands of the public.
 Jack Linx'S orchestra kept full floor in the exposition's ballroom, and hundreds of young people were on the floor during the evening.
 Headed by B. c. Apperson, secretary of the association, the committee in charge, meeting with the association on the second floor of the armory, an- nounced that the show had exceeded in a marvellous degree the expectation of the men in charge"
 More Than Pleased
 we did not believe" said MT. Ap- person, "that Birmingham people would turn out in such large numbers on the opening night"
 Individual exhibitors declared that the exposition would do more to con- vince the public of the merits of their products than anything arranged yet.
 The exposition will continue until March l. It will be open from 2 until 5 80 in the afternoon and from 2 until 10 80 at night.

INDICT MENTS ! LOOKED FOR IN VETERANS QUIZ
Forbes Neither Able Nor Honest In Conduct Of
 Office, Is Charged
By THoMAs L. STOKES (Leased Mlra te Tho Aae. HefaIdl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--Senators who were responsible for uncovering the graft in the veterans bureau. are confident that indictments will be handed down when the grand jury now meeting at Chicago completes its de- libera tions.
 This was the reaction here to the charge of Frank A. Vanderlip, who, in a statement Thursday at New York. complained that no court action had been instituted as a result of the dis honesty uncovered in the veterans bureau under the administration of Charles R. Forbes.
 In the light of the damaging eyi- dence brought out by the Senate in vestigation, the senators on the special committee are positive that indictments will he handed down, and for that req son they are loath to complain of de- lay. They are confident that John w. H. Grim, the special attorney for the department of justice, will protect the interests of the government in the case.
 From Chicago is that the Forbes grand jury inquiry. which began Feb ruary G, is likely to continue until to- ward the end of the present term, March 8. It is insisted that there has been no actual delay as has been com plained of in some quarters, but Grim has found progress somewhat slow dur ing the examination of witnesses, be- cause many of those called have named other persons who must be questioned before the, case is completed
 Looks For Real Action
 Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, chair man of the Senate Investigating com mittee, has satisfied himself that Grim will do his utmost to obtain prompt and effective action. Senator Oddie. the other republican member, is of the same opinion.
 ''I hope that this case will be pushed to the limit" he said. i've can't have any kid glove ubsiness about this affair.""
 Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, the democratic member, while of the opin- ion that progress has been somewhat slow in view of the fact that the Sen ate committeee took voluminous testi- mony which was available to the grand jury, nevertheless feels that there is no cause yet to complain.
 The evidence taken by the Senate committee fills two thick volumes of nearly 1000 pages each. On the basis of this evidence, the special counsel of the committee, General John F.
