THE TIIMER HOE
PLEASESJRNBULL
Former Birmingham Man
Here—Operations Have
Been Satisfactory
I). F. Turnbull of Atlanta, southern su
perintendent of the Southern Bell Tele
phone company, who was for some years :
manager here. Is at the Tutwller. ith
that hostelry, Mr. Turnbull is extremely
well pleased. He said yesterday that
all he had read about the hotel which ho
averred had been a great deal, had In
no wlso been exaggerated and that he
was proud that Birmingham had at last 1
secured a hotel In keeping with the prog
ress of this community, and one to which
persons from Birmingham could refer to
With pardonable pride.
"Birmingham has a great hotel In the
Tutwller.” said Mr. Turnbull yesterday.
"It Is unquestionably one of the greatest i
Jn the south and will compare with any
that I have ever seen In this country.
The Tutwller Is a great credit to this
city. I do not think I have ever seen
such wonderful furnishings and such fine
effects in decorations. On this the man
agers have scored wonderfully."
The Tutwller will have been open for
business one week tomorrow. While It Is
too early to say a great deal as to the
operations, Frederick Rockwell, vice pres
ident of tho operating company, and D.
iM. Johnson are well pleased with the op
’eratlons so far. During the seven days
of operations the house count, that is to
rsy the number of nersons in rooms, has
been exceedingly gratifying. The Louis
ville and Nashville convention and the
meeting of the Methodist church commis
sion were two propositions that brought
a great many visitors. Tho house, there
fore, has done well. It has not been
nearly filled, hut the count has been good.
In the cafes there has been fine pat
ronage. The citizens of tho community
have encouraged thS management no
little by liberal patronage and In all
'respects the revenue and tho business
has been everything that could have
been desired. The managers anticipate a
rather medium summer business. But
they are prepared to maintain tho
standard of service set In the past few
days.
Vice President Rockwell and Secre
tary Johnson will leave for their homes
In Utica tomorrow. They have been here
for a week helping George W. Traylor,
local manager, In the opening. The two
officials are leaving Mr. Traylor with
the fullest confidence that he will main
tain the standards set and will give
Birmingham exemplary service. The
officials will return every 30 days ti»
keep directly In touch with the situa
tion and they will draw constantly from ,
their experience in keeping tho Tut
wller up to the mark.
It Is becoming apparent every day '
that the hotel Is helping Birmingham.
There has been sent to all Pullman of- 1
llclnls, all railroad conductors and hotel 1
men, not to mention railroad passenger '
officials. Information that the Tutwller
is open, and this has done much to call
attention to the operations here. There' ’
is said to be a steady increase tn the 1
commercial registration at tho Tut- 1
viler and this Is the foundation upon ]
which the success of this and all hotels
is based. 1

WILSON DEFENDS
JONES AS MEMBER
OF RESERVE BOARD
President Takes Action on Hearing
Opposition to Chicago Candidate
Develops in the Senate—Is
Personal Choice
Washington, June 20.—Reports of op
position among members of the Senate
banking and currency committee to some
of President Wilson’s nominations for
the federal reserve board today re
sulted in members of that committee
receiving copies of a letter from the
President to Chairman Owen particu
larly commending Thomas D. Jones of
Chicago, one of the nominees. In this
letter the President declares ^»c* has
been associated with Mr. Jones for 1G
years and says Mr. Jones has won a
place of esteem that is "enviable in
deed." One of the criticisms levelled at
the Chicagoan is the fact, that he is a
director of the "Harvester trust," now
being sued under the Sherman anti
trust law by the department of justice.
The President explains tiiat Mr. Jones
owns but one share of Harvester stock
and that he became a director to thwart
the acts which led to that suit.
In conclusion the President said: "Ho
is the one man of the whole number
who was, in a peculiar sense, my per
sonal choice."
Mr. Jones was the only one of the
five men nominated to receive the writ
ten commendation of the President. In
formation concerning the other nomi
nees In the possession of Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo reached the com
mittee today. The President’s letter and
the data furnished by the treasury will
be used in reaching conclusions, but it
is possible that other information will j
be secured by members who are giving |
particular attention to these nomina
