WOMEN KDORT
 SIGNBOARD RULE
League Approves Removal Of Advertising From
 Highways

?.
 A resolution indorsing the Board of Revenues action in ordering the re- moval of advertising signs and notices on the public highways of Jefferson county was received from the Jefferson county League of Women Voters by the revenue body in regular session Tuesday morning. An appropriate re ply to the league was ordered by unan- 'im0us vote.
 A controversy arose several weeks ago, when several petitioners asked O. J. Rogers, county highway engineer, to have removed what were termed "odi- Ous signs and advertisements from highways of the county" Mir. Rogers was unable to do so because of a con tract existing between the board and the Highway Advertising company, giving that company sole right to place advertisements on roads and highways. In the contract, the company agreed, to pay to the county 10 per cent of ad7 vertisemert proceeds. The contract was declared void, however, the board citing the. ruling of the supreme court of Alabama, which contended that neither the state nor any county has thes r1gnt. tO lease 1Or duNffIlsemsnS purposes the right-of-ways secured by the state or any county for public roads. The ruling does not empower the board to remove signs from proper ty owned by individuals facing the highways, it is said.
 As result of the boards decision, the leagues resolution was passed by the executive committee, which met last Thursday afternoon at the HilIman hotel, &

VICTIM OF CRASH
 DIES SOF INJURIES
Charles Wright Apparent ly Doing We'll, Suc-
 cumbs To Relapse

Charles s. Wright, 1518 Thirteenth avenue, north, linotype operator for the Birmingham News, who was said to have been slightly injured when he was thrown from a car driven by l.. c. Parker, Monday night at Eighth ave nue and Twentieth street, when the car collided with an automobile driven by H. H. Black, 70S Fourth avenue, west, died at o'clock Tue day morning as a result of his injuries.
 At the time of the accident neither ambulance drivers or hospital attend ants believed Wright seriously injured. He walked to the ambulance at the scene of the wreck and into the hospital after his arrival there, attendants from Johns stated. While his head was be- ing dressed, Wright sat ot the opera ting table and smt ed a cigeratte.
 Until early Tuesday morning his con dition seemed good. Between four and five o'clock he began complaining and lapsed into inconsistencies. At five o'clock he was dead.
 Both automobiles were badly damag- ed by the crash, and were removed to local garages. Police were not notified of the wreck until 10 o'clock. They traced the car driven by Black by the license number and he readily admitted his part in the accident, City Detectives W. l.. Brannon and H. c. Jones stated.
 Parker told the officers that he and Wright were scuffling over the posses sion of the steering wheel at the time of the collision and witnesses testified that they were on the wrong side of the street. Black was held not respon- sible for the accident by the officers.
 Atahe time of the accident, Wright was thrown against the door of the au- tomobile which, came open and let him fall to the street. His death would not have occurred from the injuries he sus- tained if he had net been in a bad con dition phsically before hand, his physi- clans stated.
 The body is being held at Lige Loy's parlors pending the arriy- al of a son. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

MANY NEW PUPILS
 FOR T.. c. l. SCHOOLS
Annual Enrolment Is Expected
 To Exceed 5000

When schols resume work September 15, more than 6,000 boys and girls win enter grammar classes operated by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. The figure is based upon the expected increase of about 500 over the number enrolled during the past session. The company schools only take care of children at points where the operations are isolated and it is considered inconvenient for the chill dren to attend. In Ensley, Fairfield, Winonah, and other points of opera tion the children are taken care of by the schools operated by the cities and the counties.
 The Tennessee company schools are operated jointly by the company and the county, the relationship having aI- ready proven to be most congenial and satisfactory. It is stated that the in- structors commissioned by the Tennes- see company are the best to be secured and the graduates of the grammar schools are given immediate entrance to the accredited high schools of Bir- mingham and the county. It is un- derstood that the department of edu- cation of the Tennessee company this year will make further extensions of it's schools.

MILLER BADLY HURT AS SCAFFOLD FALLS
Second Man Thought Mentally
 Deranged By Drop

H. H. Miller, 24161a Twelfth ave nue, north, was seriously injured at II o'clock Tuesday morning when he fell 30 feet from a scaffold on an uncom- pleted building at Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street. A second workman on the scafford, whose name could not be learned, is believed to have become mentally deranged by the fall, and ran away from the scene.
 Miller sustained fractured leg, arm and nose severe decorations and bruises. He was removed to the Fraternal hos pital by Johns ambulance, where he was reported resting comfortably late Tuesday night.
 Fellow employees of the injured man blamed the accident on a negro who was holding the rope which balanced the scaffold. According to their state ment, the negro slacked the rope .As Miller moved, which caused the moor ing of the scaffold to come loose.
