 Substitution of the electric chair for the gallows the check law which facil- itates prosecution of persons passing worthless checksS several laws; designed to check Kidnapping and lynching; regu- l&tions governing incorporation peti- tions, landlords and tenants, and new methods of contseting wills.

Council Of Clubs Raises $500
 For Alabama College

More than 2,00O persons flocked to Cascade Plunge Wednesday night to view the Venetian Frolic," heralded az the outstanding event of the Cas- cade summer season.
 Nhe frolic," an annual affair of the Birmingham Council of Clubs, was fol- lowed by a general dance.
 Features of the program were the EondOla review, a tub race, exhibition diving by members of the Ed Spencer troupe, and dances by Miss, Rebecca Webb mad Miss Katherine Deblan. The program started at o'clock, and danc- ing began at 9 o'clock.
 Of the II gondolas entered by the clubs, that of the Windsor club was chosen the winner by the judges. In it were the Misses Bertha Acosta, Lueylle Frey, and Ernestine Bennett, aho were awarded prizes. The Arab club float won second honors, for which wards were given Misses Eloise Harris, Dell McElheny, and Elizabeth Pierce. The tub race was won after thrill Ing battle by Butch" English

CROSSING ACTION |. MAY BE DELAYED
Only Three. Commission. CTS To Attend Satur-
 day Conference

A postponement of final action until all five members of the city commission can be present, will be asked Saturday when railroad executives, the special Chamber of Commerce committee and commission members meet for a fur ther discussion of the grade crossing relief problem.
 D. D. McLendon, commission ptesi. dent, is on his vacation, and Mrs. Mary Eehols is visiting in Canada. Of the three members now in the city, Com missioners Harrison and Cloe are de- manding underpasses, while Street Com. missioner Dickson is standing on the tentative agreement previously reached, which calls for viaducts at Eighteenth and Twenty fourth streets and leaves the other crossings open for later de- velopment.
 If the three commissioners now in the city were unanimous, there would be no necessity for delay; as their votes would constitute q majority of the com mission. But two to one vote would mean that majority of the commits sion would determine the city's definite policy in the relief movement, which has been an issue for years.
 It could not be learned Wednesday who would move for the postponement, but it was said that such request would be made and that it probably would be granted by majority of the conferees.
 Both President McLendon and Mrs. Echols will return before Wednesday of next week, and indications were that a final conference would be set for the lat ter part of next week.

MYSTERY CLOUDS SHOOTING SCRAPE
 IN. KHAN OFFICE
Jones And Esdale Silent Upon Return From
 Memphis |

Mystery still clouds the. visit of Deputy Sheriff J. D. Jones and Att torney James Esdale to Memphis the latter part of last week or the first of this, which reports say resulted in q scrape at the Memphis klan head. quarters, and the arresting of Deputy Jones on a charge of shooting with in tent to kill and carrying pistol
 Reports from Memphis Tuesday night stated that one J. D. Jones, a deputy sheriff of Birmingham, in com pany with James Esdale, an attorney from Birmingham, had visited the klan headqnarters and demanded to see some records. Upon refusal, so the report went, there was some sort of clash, which resulted in the firing of pistol. Jones was arrested on the double charge, and released later on bond.
 Deputy Sheriff Jones has returned to Birminghani, as has Esdale, but neither will make any sort of a state ment concerning the affair. Esdale is flatly silent, while Deputy Jones can not be located. Jones is in town, having held a lengthy conference with Chief Deputy Sheriff Hill shortly upon his return from Memphis Wednesday. however, EepOEteES navy sUScu uuupAt to get in touch with Jones long enough to secure any sort of a statement. As the matter now stands, Deputy Jones is out on bond, facing the shoot ing charge at Memphis; Attorney Es dale and Jones have returned home general silence prevails over the entirC situation.
 The Memphis report stated that tht argument at klan quarters arose over whether certain records should leave the office. In the ensuing fnix-up, Jonel claims someone hit him over the head with an ink we'll, and man named Blankenship wrested his gun from his holster during the struggle. 4 shot was fired by somebody, leaving hole in the floor and attracting the police.
 The klan side of the argument claimt that when the records were refused him Deputy Jones drew his gun and de. marded the papers in true wild west fashion.
