Makes Home Baking Easy No other aid to the housewife is so great, no other agent so useful and certain in making delicious, wholesome Hie only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar Mo A Sum Mo Umo Phosphmtom FIRST CONFERENCE HELD ON TEN YEAR CONTRACT The Initial conference between the officials of the Birmingham Kailway, Light and Power company and the city commissioners was held yesterday to get a lino upon the contract which has been under discussion for the past two weeks.

The conference was concluded after being in session two hours. No official announcement Was made as to the results of the meeting. It was Indicated by President Culpepper Exum that efforts were being made to have tho Birmingham Kailway, Light and Power company modify the transfer portion of the contract which applies to a reduction in the car fare from Ensley to Birmingham. Tho commissioners, it Is gathered, desire that transfers be issued and accepted on that line as on other lines In the city. This is said to have been the principal feature of tho meeting and the opinion was expressed by Mr.

Exum that ho believed something along the line Indicated would be accomplished. "There has been nothing definite said Mr. Exum. "We talked generally as to the transfer proposition, but that was about all. We desire that transfers be given on the Ensley line as they are now on other lines.

We adjourned until the commissioners desire another conference, no date being agreed upon Those who participated in the meeting were the three commissioners and Mr. Ford, Mr. Bradley and Mr. Hloan for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power It Is generally understood that no reference will be made to the negotiations at the meeting of tho commissioners today. Expressions made by citizens yesterday on the pending contract were as follows: Dan Barber of the Barber-Ramseur Drug company: "The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company la tho most liberal company in the city, and I earnestly desire to see them treated with consideration by the city, but I do not believe that the proposed 10 year contract should be closed by the city.

Within 10 years we should have even cheaper lights and the 5 cent fare to Ensley should he given as soon as possible with transfers and without the city's having to purchase this concession with the price of 10 jear contract. "The company has made rapid strides In pushing its lines to all parts of the city and has been a potent factor in the upbuilding of the city, but ten years Is too long to live under the same rates of lights, and as I can gather in a round about way, rates that aro higher than other southern cities. "But a short term contract, in my judgment, would be safe should tho light reductions bo made and the 5 cent fare given with transfers. Tho company Is due every reasonable consideration from the citizens, while they are to protect their own interests, and I think a contract of a few years would be fair enough for both Dr. Eugene E.

May, well known physician: "Personally, I am not in favor of tho city's signing up for a term of 10 years with any corporation, as I consider It a bad business policy for a city growing like Birmingham to tie itself up in a deal that limits competition. "The 6 cent fare to Ensley should bo given with transfers and without any contract, as It Is very plain that If tho East Lake line, which Is about the same distance from the city proper as Ensley, that Is in cents, can make more money for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company than other lines on a 5 cent fare, why can't the same be applied to CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILROAD TO OPEN DEMONSTRATION FARM Tha Central of Georgia railroad has closed a one year contract with the privilege of a five year lease, at tho expiration of this time, with the Birmingham Acreage company, for their first demonstration farm in Alabama. The farm, a tract of 40 acres. Is located at Sterretts, a station on the Central of Georgia line, and 28 miles from Birmingham. Largely through the efforts of V.

C. Kilgore, local commercial agent of the Central of Georgia, and over the competition of Alexander City, Dadeville, C'amp Hill, Leeds, Childersburg, Sylacauga and many other agricultural sections, this locality was selected In preference to all applicants. Recognizing the accessibility of Birmingham as a market and shipping point and the possibilities of the soil at the edge of Shelby county, where the demonstration farm lies, the agricultural department of the Central of Georgia will show the farmers of tho state and those out of the state who contemplate immigrating here what can be done. The cultivation will be done under the direction of T. G.

Chastlan, agricultural agent of the rail road, and, according to the instructions issued by the director of the Alabama agricultural department at Auburn. The most approved methods of preparation, planting, cultivating and harvesting of the crops of potatoes, cotton, corn, all varieties of truck and the raising of poultry will be applied. The work of preparation will begin this week, as the resident farmer, A. T. Newell of Green Springs, will remove there.

Mr. Newell is one of the most successful planters of the Green Spring community and will farm along the lines outlined by the state. This is the first farm to be tilled under the direction of the Central of Georgia in this state, and that the Birmingham district was chosen as the best location speaks for itself. One of the first benefits accruing from this opening up of flic Sterretfs farm will be an automobile road connecting Birmingham and the farm, which will serve as a link in the Birmingham-Columbus, highway. Ground will be broken for this Improvement next month and is a project fostered by the Central of Georgia railroad and tho Birmingham Acreage company.

The invitations to the Chamber of Commerce banquet to be given the traveling men of the Birmingham district on the evening of December at the Country club were mailed out yesterday. The guests are expected to number approximately 200. Among these will be the officials of the manufacturing, retail and wholesale concerns of this city. The following card, enclosed with a card of acceptance, to be returned the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, is the form of invitation: I I Tlio Chamber of Commerce of Birmingham requests the pleasure of your company at a dinner to be given In honor of the Traveling Men of Birmingham, Friday evening, December first, nineteen hundred eleven sevcp-thlrty I Please reply. Informal dress.

PROHIBITION CASES ARE STILL IN COURT Misunderstanding Is Cause of Many Forfeitures Being Made By Judge Cahalan Quite a number of prohibition cases were disposed of yesterday in both divisions of the criminal court. Most of them were settled without a trial, the defendants entering a plea of guilty and were fined. Judgo Cahalan ordered forfeitures taken against a number of defendants charged with prohibition violations who failed to answer when their names were called. According to a statement of one of the court officials, the impression seems to prevail that all the prohibition cases were stricken from the docket, owing to recent decisions by Judge Crow and Judge Calialan, or at least were held In abeyance pending an appeal to the supreme court.

This Is not the case, however, as only the cases appealed from the police court were affected, and only those from that court that were appealed after the city adopted the ordinance Incorporating the provisions of the Smith kill. It was also stated that all cases are still on the docket and will remain until tho supreme court makes a ruling on the case. Tho docket of the criminal court contains over 6300 cases, some of these have been disposed of, but many yet remain. A great many of those on the docket are cases made returnable direct to the criminal court and will not be directly affected by the decision of tho supreme court. The courts will continue to try the cases that are set on criminal docket and forfeitures will be taken against all who fail to appear.

A large number are set for this week. Directors to Meet The board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce will meet In special called session this afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce at 3:30 o'clock. A full attendance is urged, as the business to be discussed Is of great Importance. Work of Department During Year.

EATIIEM. BOTH PHONES. Hold Conference With Congressman Taylor URGE RIPLEY SURVEY Chamber Commerce Committee Working to Secure Water Outlet for Birmingham's Manufactured Produts The committee recently named by the Chamber of Commerce to draw up a suitable memorial to Congress requesting the adoption of the Ripley survey, which will bring the Blrmlngham-Warrior canal to this city, will hold an important conference with Congressman Taylor of the First district and member of the rivers and harbors committee of Congress tomorrow morning. Mr. Taylor, who will I GEORGE W.

TAYLOR CongreMMinan From the Flrat Alabama District ho Will Confer YVIth the Chamber of Commerce Committee Concerning the Birmtngham-W'arrtor Canal arrive tomorrow morning from his home In Demopolls, Is coming to attend the Chamber of Commerce banquet to be given Oscar W. Underwood ThurwJgy evening at tho Country club, and Robert Jemisqu, chairman of the canal comm'tteo' of the Chamber of Commerce, has -arranged for a joint discussion with Congressman Taylor of tho best possible way to present the Birmingham situation to Congress, asking for a survey from Valley river to Five Milo creek. The Chamber of Commerce canal committee is composed of Robert Jcmison, chairman; T. A. Weller and J.

B. Gibson. They were appointed to urge the engineering department of the United States, through the mediumship of Congressman Taylor, to take up the report of Engineer Ripley, who made the survey of the canal some time ago and who states that from the headwaters of Five Milo creek to Valley river is a true canal, meaning one that must be artificially made all the way. The United States government has mode an appropriation to raise lock 17 in the Warrior river, which will back the waters to Toadvine, half way between the Warrior river and Bessemer, but according to the Ripley report Birmingham can be the tidewater point of the canal and hence the Chamber of Commerce is striving to have the Ripley report considered by Congress. Instead of having the Valley- river navigable about half way between Birmingham and the Warrior river, the civic organization is endeavoring to secure through an appropriation to be made by Congress, a survey for the canal from Bessemer to Birmingham In addition to having the work finished up from Toadvine to Bessemer.

Mr. Ripley in his report, which was published several years ago, describes two links of the Blrmlngham-Warrtor canal that he judges the most advisable. They are from the headwarters of Five Mile creek to Valley river, which would be a true canal, and from Valley river to the Warrior river, which would be a canalized river. This report has not been thoroughly taken up by Congress as at the time of the Ripley survey the Warrior river had not been canalized and there was some doubt of the possibility of having sufficient water supply to reach Five Mile creek's source, but tho Warrior canal has proven that the supply Is abundant to back the stream up to the Magic City. The opportunity of making Birmingham a basin point and gaining, through the canal, competitive rates for freight traffic lias been realized by the Chamber of Commerce, and should Congress recognize public sentiment in this, this city would then bo a direct competitor in the manufacturing markets of the wmrld with Chattanooga, Memphis, New Orleans and other southern cities that have waterway outlets.

4 Per Cent PAID ON SAVINGS WITH INTEREST COMPOUNDED TWICE A YEAR. You are sure of good service by this sometimes, but all the time Be an of us. AMERICAN Trust and Savings Bank 1923 First Ave. WEIL CHANGES HIS MIND ONOIIOOK Harmon Out of Running and Underwood the Most Logical Man Marcus Well, whoso successful forecasts on election results are well known, yesterday wrote out a sfatement In which he says that he has changed his mind about Ilarmon being the most available man for the democrats to nominate. Mr.

Well now considers Mr. Underwood the most logical man for the democrats to put up if they hope to be successful. "I read William J. article which appeared in the Commoner and was reproduced In The Age-Herald Sunday," said Mr. Weil, "in which Mr.

Bryan discussed Oscar Underwood chances for nomination by the democrats. "I wan not surprised to read wnai he had to say. It matters not who the democratic party wants outside of William J. Brayan, that man will not be satisfactory to Bryan. He Is ready to tell the democrats tomorrow that William J.

Bryan Is the only man that has a chance to be elected and Bryan would accept the nomination the fourth time and get defeated the fourth time. This would result no matter whom the republicans might nominate. "It Is a forgone conclusion that whatever candidate carries New York state will be the next presldmt of the United States. On August 8, last, I wrote an article in The Age-Herald advocating the nomination of Harmon for president and Underwood for vice president. "I have changed my mind since then for the reason that Harmon has an element of voters against him who put him In the governor's chair by over 100,000 majority.

I have It from good authority that he could not carry Ohio this time, and the same element in other states would knife hint. lie Is therefore out of the running. candidates mentioned have lost their prestige in the late elections and are not available. I desire to state right here that there is no man in the state of Alabama or anywhere else who has a warmer feeling of friendship for Oscar Underwood than I have. I have known him for the past 25 years, have worked on the same committees with him in former campaigns, yet if 1 thought he could not carry New York I would not advocate his nomination.

It would not matter to mo who might be for him in Alabama. I follow the tide only when I am convinced in my own mind that a candidate can win and Is the right man to fill the office. Undertvood is the man of the hour to receive the nomination by the democratic party. Ho is the most available man because he has the ability, he is honest and he will take with the people wherever he goes and speaks to them. "He lias the manner and apeparance which make friends.

He knows how to talk to people in such a way that he inspires confidence. To know hint is to love and admire him. the money Interests will bo for him, and Uryan says this is the reason Underwood cannot win. But the money Interests must vote for some one and they would rather vote for a strong, level headed man like Underwood than for any other kind. east, a portion of the middle west and the solid south must elect the democratic nominee.

We must not expect anything west of Wisconsin. Underwood and Marshall would make an excellent ticket and I believe they could be elected on a conservative tariff platform such as Mr. Underwood has always DR. STAGG SAYS HE LIKES YANKEES Has Been Preaching Down in Florida Where He Says Big Things Are Being Done Dr. J.

W. Stagg. former president of the Presbyterian college at Anniston, returned to Birmingham yesterday after a stay of two months in Florida. He will be in Birmingham about a week. "1 am a southern preacher and I have been down In Florida preaching to said Dr.

Stagg. "and I want to say right here they are the most delectable people one could find. Florida is prospering as never before. It is a wonderful country. It is there that the yankees and southerners are being thrown In more Intimate contact than anywhere else.

It Is the great smelting pot for fusing the two elements. It Is the most southern state and yet It Is apparently the nearest to the north. "I attended a big reunion the other day and It was a pleasure to see a great Confederate like General Pasco mingling with tho old federal soldiers. They are certainly doing things down In Florida and a man can learn a whole lot from a trip down there." Scottish Rite Masons Montgomery, November Scottish Rite Masons from many sections of Alabama are In Montgomery In attendance upon the administration of council and consistory degrees upon several candidates for Scottish Rite secrets. Tho degrees are In the hands of the Birmingham consistory.

The first session of the consistory will bs held tomorrow afternoon. 300,000 TON COAL ORDERRECEIVED Immense Contract Awarded By New Orleans Power Company The Empire Coal company, of which Frank Nelson, is president, was yesterday awarded a contract to furnish approximately 300,000 tons of coal to the Now Orleans Street Railway and Lighting company. Information to that effect was received yesterday by Frank Nelson, who was in Now Orleans to look after the contract letting last week. It was subsequently announced that the Empire Coal company and the Bryan Coal corporation, both of the companies being headed by Mr.

Nelson, would furnish a portion of the order, while arrangements had been made with the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company to help supply the Now Orleans order. The Alabama Consolidated agreed through Harry S. Matthews, its new president. The contract thus secured in Birmingham is believed to be the largest one that has been given to Birmingham by any concern in New Orleans. The street railway and lighting company Is the biggest consumer of coal in Now Orleans, with the possible exception of the American Sugar Refining company plant.

Orders from that company will be given soon, and if the last contrast is followed up, Birmingham will be favored In that order over the Pittsburg field. President Nelson yesterday said that the contract would mean that the Bryan Coal corporation, whoso operations liavo In the past been very modest, would proceed to get under way some new coal openings. That company has the best sort of land and if openings were ready could well take care of the order. However, inasmuch as the work has not proceeded far enough for that company to take a. large hand, other arrangements have been arranged.

The coal order from New Orleans will be for shipments during the next two years. MATTHEWS RETURNS FROM BALTIMORE Is New President of Alabama Hoadley and Grenfell Are Coming Harry S. Matthews, president ot the Ainbaipa Consolidated Coal and Iron company. returned yesterday from the oast. While in Baltimore he was elected president of the Alabama Consolidated to succeed Joseph H.

Hoadley, for many years president of that company. Mr. Matthews yesterday said that the merger plans between his company and tile southern Iron and Steel company were progressing very favorably and that rumors otherwise were misleading. He said that he anticipated that a large party of officials of the two companies Interested In the merger would pay a visit to Birmingham soon to look over the local situation. "Mr.

Hoadley will perhaps be down soon ns well as Mr. Grenfell and others Interested In the proposed said Mr. Matthews. "The whole proposition Is getting along very woll and I anticipate that absolutely nothing will interfere with Its consummation. "Business is very good in New York and the outlook is continued Mr.
