Repeats Recent Assertion
That Wave of Prosperity
Will Soon Sweep
Country
W, P. G. Harding will leave this
morning over the Seaboard Air Bine
railroad for Washington to he present
when the reserve board for national
banks is organized.
Mr. Harding was asked last night if
In his opinion the board would be or
ganized prior to the confirmation by
the Senate of additional members, eith
er JJ.r. Jones and Mr. Warburg, or oth
ers to be named. He replied that it
tvaa his impression that organization
would be perfected next week.
“It is with a great deal of regret,'
Mr. Harding said, "that I leave Bir
mingham. Until this appointment came
I did not know that I had so many
friends. I have been overwhelmed
with courtesies of the most touching
variety. Birmingham, of course, will
ever lie next my heart. My permanent
place of residence will always be here,
and I will return as often as possible.”
Following the dinner given last
night by directors of the Tutwiler Ho
tel company to a number of friends of
the hotel, Mr. Harding, in feeling man
ner. bade the guests farewell.
4T Intend to make a study of my
new duties," he added, "until 1 am mas
ter of every phase of the work. I will
then endeavor to accomplish good for
Birmingham. He quickly added, “and
for this section, and the country as a
whole.”
Mr. Harding, in casual conversation
during the evening, repeated his as
sertion made at the dinner given in
his honor by the Birmingham Newspa
per club to the effect that in his opin
ion a wave of nation-wide prosperity
would begin moving in the very near
future.
“There is a great era ahead,” he
added, "for the country, an era of un
precedented prosperity. Birmingham —
Alabama as a whole—will share in th^
blessing. This is destined to be the
garden spot of the world, not only one
of the richest sections of the country,
but the most beautiful. Birmingham’s
growth, development and surface lm
rovement of the last five years have
been marvelous. In every way that
progress will be duplicated within the
next five years.”

DECISION IN HAL CHASE’S
CASE PROMISED BY JULY 18
Justice Bissell Promises to Render Decision On Above Date At
Close of Arguments By Attorneys For
Federal League
Buffalo, July'10.—A decision on the plea
of injunction restraining Hal Chase, for
mer first baseman of the Chicago Amer
icans from playing with the Buffalo
Fed era Is, was promised by July IS by
I Justice Herbert P. Bissell at the close of
! arguments here today.
I The grounds on which the Federal
league sought, a dissolution was based
largely on the allegation that the Chicago
team did not come into dourt with clean
hands because it Is operating in violation
of the Sherman anti-trust law. Attorney j
Addington for Chase, intimated that fur- j
thur proceedings against the National j
commission under tin* anti-trust law were
under consideration.
Other claims made by Federal league
attorneys were that Chase's contract
with Chicago was void because it im-i
! properly drawn when signed and because I
j it mutuality on account of the 10 day j
i clause and the reserve feature. Attorneys
for the Chicago team argued that the j
I playing of baseball cannot be designated
I as commercial in the sense that it is used
I in the Sherman act.
LOOKOUT PITCHERS YIELD
52 RUNS IN FIVE CONTESTS
"Moose” McCormick is a worried man
The opposing clubs have broken all rec
ords against the twirling of Ills pitchers
and the longer the bombardment endures,
the worse it gets. In the five games
played this week, 52 runs have been
scored against the Chattanooga club. In
the two games with the Barone, 27 runs
have been scored and a double header
faces the two forces this afternoon.
The battered corps consists of Ray
Boyd, who suffered a downfall yester
day, Youngster Sindler, Bill Sline, Rolano
Howell and Southpaw Quarders. Quar
ders is unable to pitch, having suffered
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••a**
I
a broken rib a few days ago. Boyd’s
\M ak arm prevents him from frequent
manoeuvers on the slab. Howell has a
badly injured pitching hand, while Sind
ler is still weak from the extraordinary
service he rendered in the opening game
against the Barons.
Chattanooga is unabTe to strengthen,
for the majors have nothing to offer.
l 'i less Moose McCormick culls a few
hush leagues, the Dookouts seemed des
tined for a lower berth despite the ef
ficient offense. The Chattanooga rnounds
men have yielded 65 hits in the five
games. Despite the awful bombardment,
Chattanooga scored one victory. Tuesday,
Montgomery was defeated S to 7.
GEORGIA TECH DECIDES
TO DESERT THE S. I. A. A.
Atlanta, July 10.—(Special.)—Georgia
Tech today followed Vanderbilt’s lead and
handed In her resignation to President
W. G. Riggs as a member of the South
ern intercollegiate Athletic association.
The schedule of games as already ar
ranged. will be played, though new
games booked will be booked under new
rules.
Advices from Athens received here to
j night were to the effect that the Uni
| varsity of Georgia was going to follow
the example of Vanderbilt and Tech and
that Alabama was also expected to re
sign.
The withdrawal of Vanderbilt, Georgia,
Georgia Tech and Alabama will prove a
disastrous blow to the S. I. A. A. It is
understood that President Riggs refused
to call a special meeting following the
conference of the nine colleges in Atlanta
on July 1. According to reports. Presi
dent Riggs said he had no power, under
the constitution, to call a. special confer
ence.
Following the withdrawal of Tech, im

Important Amendments
to Measure

fected the interstate trade commission bill
already before the Senate, adding two
Important amendments and determining

commission bill agreed to by the com
mittee provides:
"That no order of the proposed trade
ccmmission for or against a corporation
shall be used as evidence in any sub
sequent prosecution brought against a
corporation under the Sherman law'.
"That nothing in the act to create the
trade commission .shall be construed a*s
amending th • Sherman act. nor in any
way affecting provisions of that act
as it stands on the statute books.
The House bill giving the interstate com
merce coi^piission Jurisdiction over the
issuance of securities of common carriers
also was taken up by the committee, and
it will endeavor to complete Its amend
ments to the bill by tomorrow night.
The Clayton bill as it passed the House
vas considered all day by the Senate
judiciary committee, most of the discus
sion bearing on sections relating to inter
locking directorates and holding com
panies. Both committees are making
every effort to have the true bills ready
by Monday.
Many tentative changes have been made
In phraseology of the Clayton bill, in
some eases the committee having nar
rowed the meaning where they thought it
too broad. When the committee ad
journed for the day it had under con
sideration sections relating to labor unions
and some changes are expected.
Considerable sentiment In favor of con
solidating the three antitrust bills is de
veloping and some senators said today
this might be done on the Senate floor.
The main purpose for such action would
be to expedite completion of the trust
legislative programme.

WIN TENNIS FINALS
Defeat Roberts and Drennen
in Final Round of Athletic
Club Tourney
Frank Bell and Pete Smith of the
Birmingham Athletic club won from
Vlerridlth Roberts and Dr. Earl Dren
nen of the Country club in the finals
Df the Birmingham Athletic club's in
vitation tennis tournament yesterday
afternoon after a hard and spectacular
battle.
The contest yesterday had been twice
postponed, first from the Fourth of
fuly until Thursday and then from that
flat.e to Friday, both times on account
pf rain.
Four sets were played before the
Athletic club stars were able to gain
a. decision. The first was captured by
Drennen and Roberts, six games to
four. This set was one of the best
Played and the work of all four was of
the whirlwind variety.
Battling uphill, Bell and Smith took the
second match, 6-2, and then followed up
by annexing both the succeeding ones
by scores of 6-2 and 6-3, respectively.
The two teams appeared very nearly
evenly matched and the playing of both
was at times sensational. After the1 first
set Roberts was handicapped somewhat
on account of having to alter his service
in order to escape foot faults.
The first two sets were better than the
latter two because of '.he fact that in
the third and fourth all four of the con
testants lobbed the ball considerably.
Both Smith and Bell were awarded
handsome racquets. Hugh N. Starnes
refereed the contest.
COVINlMAN R
Daniel Douglass Believed to
Have Been Clubbed and
Choked to Death
Andalusia. July 10.—(Special.)—Daniel
Douglass, a highly respected citizen liv
ing near Rome, this county, was found
dead in his field where he had been
plowing yesterday about 11 o’clock. Some
of the family was attracted by a noise
which sounded like a call from Mr. Daug
lass, and a negro boy was sent to in
vestigate. When he reached the scene
Mr. Douglass was found lying on the
ground dead and his horse grazing near
the body. There were bruises about the
face and head and signs of choking on
his neck to indicate that Mr. Douglass
had been clubbed and choked to death.
Suspicion at once centered around v-. T.
B»;rbare«, a neighb »r, living near Mr.
Douglass, and he was arrested and lodged
in jail at. a late hour last night charged
with the crime
The theory is advanced by the citizens
of the neighborhood in which the nturder
occurred, that Mr. Douglass' murder is
the outcome of a feud of long standing,
and ir. which feelings were recently re
newed by accusations brought by Doug
lass against some of Barbaree's children
in reference to some watermelons. Bar
baree had no statement to make when
anested. He was locked up in jail and
as the August grand Jury will soon con
vene it is probable that no preliminary
will be had.
Mr. Douglass was ,82 years of age, a
Confederate veteran, ar.d owned one of
the prettiest farms in Covington county.
He was a hard worker and industrous citi
zen and his murder has aroused consid
erable feeling in the community.
Both the Vanitie and De
fiance Fall Far in
Rear
Newport. R. I., July 10.—The cup
yacht Resolute outsailed her rivals to
day and led the Vanitie three miles
and the Defiance four and a half miles
at the finisht of their 30-mile contest.
The Defiance was so far behind she
quit racing as the Vanities crossed the
line.
The Resolute’s margain in correct
ed time over the Vanitie was 33 min
utes and 7 seconds. The race was the
second of the trials and the first un
der the direction of the New York
Yacht club.
The breeze was never stronger than
four knots.
The contest was an excellent test of
the yachts In the lightest weather pos
sible for a finish inside the six-hour time
limit. After the first tw’o miles it was
only a question of the length of the
Resolute’s victory.
It generally was agreed in yachting
circles after the race that neither the
Vanitie nor the Defiance could hold the
Resolute under conditions that prevailed
today. It also was pointed out that many
of the America’s cup races off Sandy
Hook in recent years have been sailed
in similar light airs and sleepy seas.
The boats will race again tomorrow.
