Members of the sheriff's department declined to deny or confirm these reports, but added that no arrest had yet been made.
 Lehman is now free on $3.000 bond, following his arrest about two weeks ago! It was pointed out unofficially by county officials that the customary bond for such charge was $10,000 or more, and it was rumored that Leh- mans bond would be raise9 to $10,000 as soon as he was rearrested on the basis of the grand jury indictment Deputy sheriffs refused to comment on this phase of the ease, declaring that arrest had actually been made.
 Audit Report Made
 In the meantime, audit of the as- sessment books of the public improve ment department of the comptroller s office has been ordered by the city commission. Nothing. so far, it is said, has been found to indicated there is anything wrong with this part of the records.~ s- ssa

With the parent street car company out of the financial woods and on the way to success, interest in Birmingham was again turning Wednesday to J. s Pevear, the utility magician. to see what he is going to work, out for the Tidewater line.
 Breaking even on operating expenses is said to be the status of the Tide. water line since it has been operated under the receivership, but this does not take in maintenance where the an. nual deficit is said to be $40, 900.
 The Birmingham Electric company it has been stated, does not want the Tidewater line, the owners wish the Tidewater had never xbeen built. In too many instances it parallels Hines long established, it's only recommenda, ton being, on some stretches, fast sery. ice, and the absorption of surplus traf fife at times of congestion.
 Line Is Necessary
 The municipality views the Tidewa, ter from another angle, the future. Il is the, opinion of Comnaissionef W. l. Harrison that, in time, if there was no, Tidewater line there would have te be one, because of the city's growth and if not direct copy. of the line as it is, at leastss one. so o~ similar il would be recognizable. Commissions Harrison stated Wednesday that with .out duplicate overhead. or as an in tegraal part of the street car system the showing of the Tidewater would warrant its continuance. as an asset for the future, even though it does, not pay t0day.-rss. '.,.,l>-- -s. .,.-,. "a
 Men discussing the street ear situa. tion believe, they say. that the utility now known as the Birmingham Flee tric company, is going forward to q great success. They point ont the con fidence that was shown in Mr. Peveai by the federal court in leaving the SO Elution of the company's troubles te his handlips; the public xconfidenct shown in him by the, people of the city in voting the. jitneys off the streets to give the utility its opportunity.

Bishop Irving T. Johnson of Den.
yer delivered the commencement
address. His address to the class
is given in full below:
To the graduating class and
friends: | go back about LOrty.one
years in my life to the time when
] graduated from High School 1t
was a long time ago but / can re-
collect ii because | know my mind
was much more set on Il trip to the
woods in New York than on what
/ had just completed, in fact, it
was looked forward to very eagerly
and, ever since, | have had my
course of pleasure and good time in
the woods regularly | think it is

have the open pleasures that our
grandfathers had.
1.-THE Pioneers of This Nation"
When | think of America | don't
think of culture and education and
modern invention that are on the
surface of American life. | think
of certain things that were pro-
duced on the soil by those who
ought to have Memorial Day,
'srhe pioneers of this Nation You
know this nation is an example of
the successive waves that have pass
ed over it. First, the frontiers
man with number OF soldiers
went into the wilderness and
blazed the way for the next wave,
'1The Pioneers to live in log cab
ins. Then came the farmers, and
then the capitalists. There was a
fearlessnesS in this nation from the
very beginning. The census of 1890
tells us that the frontiers OF this
nation ceased to exist in that year,
more than a generation ago. And
I think Il you will compare the
politics of today with the politics
of a generation ago, you viii discoy-
or that there is certain some
thing left out of America today
that produced men like George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and
what was good in Theodore Roose-
welt
What is Lacking in our life To-day?
What is lacking? What il lack

ing in our life today? We have all
the modern inventions that our
grandfathers knew nothing about,
No automobiles. no telephones, no
movies. no radios, no trains! How
did they live? They lived because
they had something inside of them
that was worth all the machines
that we have had since. Victor Hugo
adds in his chapter with these
words, This kills That and | want
to dwell first of all upon what has
been killed to large extent that
belongs to our nation. Not be
cause we brought from the U. S.
but because those frontiersman and
pioners produced it on the Amcri-
can soil
They Complained Little
l can think always OF men ike
Washington, John Marshall and
Andrew jackson who seem to stand
out as unique in the history OF
mankind That is, they had . back
ground of their qualities that
makes the men come out ON this
Santa Fe Trail Then it took sixty
days with an OK cart from Missouri
to Colorado, and when they got
here they had nothing but 4 log
cabin They had no modern inven-
tions. no modern appliances, and
yet they complained littlei They
complained less in a year than we
do in a week. What did they have?
They had certain qualities. and as
| look into the traditions of this
state | am impressed with the
thought that no nation can be any
better, any greater. than the indi-
vidual.
Most Glaring Sin of
Today is Self-pity
When this was frontier, | want
to emphasize, first Of all. that they
had qualities of personal courage,
the courage of personal convic-
tions They had personal beliefs
and they founded this nation be-
cause of certain personal qualities
of courage and initiative that be-
longed to the way of the pioneer
and they had a certain resource
fulness. They didn't pity them
selves. The most glaring sin of to-
day of American individuals is the
sin of Self-pity. They didn't worry
because they didn't have society
atmosphere Or the privilege of
these inventions or these dresses
or these instruments. They simply
took what they had and because
of their resourcefulness they made
this nation Furthermore they had
great simplicity of character,
Thing that Makes Camping a

You Take With You
As | said it has ben my privilege

to tell you first of all the thing
that makes camping a success or
failure is who you take with you.
There is no place in the world to
get on to the meanness of person
better than to go camping, and may
[ say, as one who is more or less
acquainted with outdoor life on
camping, you must be careful of
who you take with You. SO it is in
life. You have to live with your
self through life.
[ often think what it must be to
get up in the morning and go
around all day and to bed at night
and the next day and the next day

Learn the Rules Of The Game
When you are going to play a
game learn the rules of the game.
You must not like this rule or.
that rule but if you are going to
play the game at all play the game
according TO the rule. 1t seems to
me it is q good policy to play the
game the same in the game Of life.
Life to me is sort of a militant
affair. The soldiers before they gU1
into battle go into training camps
They learn to drill. They march
ND hill and down They learn obe-
dience to their officers The game
of life is a good deal tftat way
The FIRST Training
Camp is Your Home.
You go through three training
camps. The first training camp isl
your home / think the best stand
ard for a boy or girl who comes
into high school is to come from
that home Whero vulgarity isn't
permitted, where scandal is not
talked at the breakfast table, |
where the spirit OF reverence and
courtesy is enforced. For the home
is the training school of your affec-
tiOns, learning to reverence your
father and mother, love your bro
ther and sisters, to look upon the
atmosphere that makes your home. |
Then you have been through the
first training camp. The training
camp that drills and develops the
good side of nature Children didn't
ask to be born into the world.
They didn't make the atmosphere.
Juvenile delinquency is because of
adult inefficiency. If we are going
to be leaders the home is the first
training camp of life in which you
train your affections
The High School is
Where You Train Your Reason
The high schol is where you train
your reason and there you add to
your possessions the ability to-
think. Some people don't think
when they think they are think
ing. develop the ability to think
clearly, the ability to think ration
ally, and the ability to live and
reason about life without preiu
dice. That is the atmosphere of
high schol and college There are
those who when they get into
thor lessons seem to think God
gave lis q heart as well as mind |
THOU shalt love the Lord Thy God.
with all Thy heart and with all
Thy mind.
Then Comes the Third
Training Sshool of Life.
Then comes the third training
school of life. You train your will.
Vixen you go out. not merely to-
have affections for people, not
merely to have theories about
things, but when you go out to do
something, the value Of life can be
expressed in your ideas. Your abili-
ty to think depends on the training
