Fort, senior judge of the criminal court yes terday morning at the opening of the September judicial sespion. The September grand jury as organ ized yesterday by Judge Fort follows: Otto Mooney, precinct 37, Traders Na tional bank, foreman. George Wilson, precinct 7, rental man. Thomas M. White, precinct 17, ma chinist. Frank E. Turpin, precinct 37, man ager. Wilfred W. Turner, precinct 21, col lector. Henry W. Graham, Jr., precinct 34. clerk. Andrew Smith, precinct 30, fire boss.

Delivers Oral Charge The organization of the grand Jury was completed about 11 o'clock and immediately thereafter Judge Fort be gan his charge. It was spoken In a calm, conversational tone, yet the words of the jurist penetrated to ev ery corner of the spacious courtroom. It was an oral charge and covered in every point the field of inquiry to be followed by the inquisitorial body. .Judge Fort called attention to the law of the state of Alabama and re lerred to several special charges in a brief manner. He also told the grand jury that it muit Indict all officials o i the Imperial county of Jefferson who have purchased directly or indi rectly county warrants or what Is pop ularly known as scrip. Tt is against the law for county officials to pur chase scrip and Judge Fort was em phatic in his instructions that the deal ings in scrip be thoroughly investi gated and indictments returned if col lusion on the part of county officers Is found in the buying of county war rants. This part of Judge Fort's charge was particularly Impressive and caused much speculative comment in the corridors of the courthouse. ‘Judge Fort stated that since the ad vent of prohibition law breaking hacD decreased in Jefferson county but that conditions wre're still far from being ideal. He urged upon the grand jury to thoroughly probe all violations of the prohibition laws as the public sen timent at this time demanded the en forcement of all law's. Mention was also rfade of gambling which still existed in a minor degree, according to Judge Fort, and which the grand jury should aid in stamping out. Opposes Convicts in Mines In his references to the convict lease system Judge Fort Impressed the grand jury that It must take a definite stand on thin question as the matter was now before the legislature and at tracting attention. Judge Fort de nounced the working of convicts in the mines as inhuman and urged that they should be put on the public roads. Judge Fort was equally emphatic lr. regard to compulsory education of chil dren. In referring to misdemeanors Judge Fort informed the grand jury that it must indict automobile speeders as this dangerous practice of reckless drivers must be broken up. Judge Fort Informed the grand jury that Solicitor Hugo D. Black would at tend its sessions and inform the mem bers on all points of law'. j The organization of the Jury was completed in a short time and after selecting the grand jury. 4fi Jurors were placed for the petit juries of the week and after the dockets had been set for cases to be tried today the court adjourned. In the second division of the criminal court Judge Harrington P. Heflin held a very busy session during the morn ing In which several minor cases were tried and forfeitures on other cases were taken when the accused failed to answer to their names. Judge Heflin adjourned court at 12:30 o'clock after setting for trial a number of cases for today. j ' LABOR DAY CELEBRATION IS GENERAL OVER THE CITY Birmingham witnessed an imposing l>a bor Day ecelebration for the first time in > ears yesterday.

SKOW Al THE FAIR Meeting of Kennel Club Held Last Night—Big Demand for Bench Room This Year Much enthusiasm was manifested at the regular meeting of the Birmingham Ken nel club held last night at the club rooms in the Farley building. The fea ture of the meeting was the discussion of the approaching bench show to be he’d at the Alabama State fair. The sec retary announced that the premium Hit and rules of entry are printed in the oiti cial programme of the Alabama Fair as sociation, which could be obtained by ap plication to the secretary, fifth floor, Chamber of Commerce building. Much other important business was transacted. The bench show of the Birmingham Ken nel club is one of the moat popu’ar fea tures of the Alabama State fair and is held in the only exclusive dog show building in the south. Each year increased interest is shown by the owners of fine dogs, and the indica tion are that this year there will be a big demand for bench room, particularly for dogs from other states. It is interest ing that among the star dogs shown at the bench show last year, many of them were later shown in Atlanta and New York and won first honors in the greatest company. Of these the most noted was the two Hickey pointers from Tennessee, who carried all the first honors in the above shows, the female bringing the fancy price of $2500. The hadsome premium list of the ap proaching dog show contains a long ’ist of premiums and prizes, also the rules of the American Kennel club, under which the show will be held. This Is a hallmark of the highest distinctiveness and gives to winners class in points and honore. While only dogs of known registered breeding may be shown to advantage, yet three winnings to the oredlt of a dog establishes its standing in bench show and registration. Members of the Birmingham Kennel club will be g’ad to furnish intending ex hibitors information as to preparing and conditioning dogs for entry in the deg show. Exhibitors are not required to oe members of the Birmingham Kennel club, 0ut every owner of a good dog, a pedi greed dog especially, will find it to his ad vantage to belong to the club. The club s aocia’ affairs, a barbecue in the spring and a banquet In the fall al v/ays prove highly enjoyable affairs, both to the members of the c’ub and their in vited guests. During the “dog show” week the annual “dog fest" will be held and the ladies will be asked to attend, as this is one of the delightful features of the club banquet.

My porter was close to the desk dosing when he heard a rap at the front door which was locked. Thinking the men were prospective guests, he opened the door without hesitation. All three of the men were well dressed. As they stepped into the lobby they drew their weapons on the negro, and told him to hold up his hands. Had I been armed 1 could have shot every one of them on account of my being in the dark where they could not see me plainly. They then came Into the writ ing room with the porter in advance of them and ordered me to hold up my hands. The third man tore the drawer containing the money open and calmly pocketed the contents. There was not a word spoken during the whole time with the exception of a curt, ‘hold your hands up’. “The men were very calm. They backed out slowly covering us all the while after they had gotten the money. “These same men were in the lobby the fore part of the night and ordered a drink each and sent the bellboy out to get them. This was about 11 o'clock. No one was in the lobby at the time be side them, but the bellboy and myself.” Announcement of Award of Girl’s Scholarship Will Be Made Today The fall term at Howard college will open tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock with an address by the Rev.

Conference Held Yesterday on By-Product Gas Matter. Nothing Definite Done PEVEAR STOPS OFF TO SEE OFFICIALS Conference Which Was to Have Been Held Tomorrow Called Off and Nothing Will Be Done Fend ing Receipt of Letter Whatever proposition the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company may have in reference to supplying by-product gas to the citizens of Birmingham, it will be submitted in writing to the city commissioners for their consideration. This was agreed to tat a conference held yesterday afternoon between President George B. Ward, Commissioner A. O. Lane, Commissioner James Weatherly and Capt. Romaine Boyd for the city, and President J. S. Pevear, General Man ager DeWlndt and Attorney Lee Bradley for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. The reasons for stopping the work on the gns mains and the circumstances con nected with it were submitted to the of ficials, and after a brief discussion, from which no agreement was reached or defi nite proposition submitted, Commissioner Weatherly requested the company to sub mit whatever proposition they might have in writing, and the board -would take it under consideration. This was agreed to and the proppsltion will be submitted in the next few days.

The meeting was held yesterday as Mr. Pevear was in the city, having stopped over while en route to New Orleans, leaving last night for that point.

Following a rather sensational letter from City Engineer Kendrick which he charged the company with deceit, the permit to build the gas main was re voked, and the work stopped pending the outcome of the controversy.

She not only made tlie cooker successfully but she showed her how to prepare and cooks her first | meal within its compartments. This cooker Is similar to one Miss Rosser has used in her demonstrations in this county, and its frame is a wood en lard bucket in, which is placed tin buckets, and with packings of sawdust and cushions tlie improvised cooker la made air tight and retains its heat after the hot sandstones are placed in tlie casements. Thus Alabama has demonstrated in ventive genius in her desire to meet the emergencies of hard times, and we are beginning to teach the easterners a few tricks. No doubht this lesson will be extended to other mothers who arc eager for methods to reduce work in a distant city. Miss Rosser spent six weeks in New York taking a course in domestic arts •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• FALL OPENING OF LIGHTFOOT SUIT AND CLOAK CO. / Birmingham, second to no other city in the south when it comes to styles, has seen and appreciated the "small ex clusive shop” which New York features so prominently in the matter of refined and beautiful wearing apparel for women, and has added to its list a number of at tractive establishments of this kind re cently. The latest institution to open its doors to the fashionable people of this city Ib the “Rightfoot Suit and Coat com pany,” which yesterday Invited to inspect its Ifuutlful and complete stock the whole of Birmingham and vicinity, and Judgng from the tremendous crowds in attendance there were few wh(\ declined tlie invitation. Being the first of the fall and winter openings of 1916-16, its was a gala event, and many compliments were heard on | every side as to the good taste and ju dicious Judgment displayed by the man agement in the selection of the goods, j The Rightfoot Suit and Coat company introduce* to the public again a very (•lexer and capable woman at the head of a big business, Miss Mary B. Right foot, who having formerly been connect ed with some of Birmingham’s largest and most popular establishment*, num bers her friends by the score in the busi ness world, and is therefore assured of splendid success in her undertaking. Miss Rightfoot is discriminating as well as practical in her taste and her complete understanding of the business in which she Is engaged qualifies her to please the most fastidious and cater to the best trade of this city. Miss Rightfoot has personally superln 1 tended the arrangements of the handsome Suarters of the Rightfoot Suit and Coat ompany In the Empire building, and she has also selected the stock of goods which it carries—the very latest models of suits, wraps, coats and blouses being included, nil excellent quality and fine workmanship. All during yesterday dozens of women were inspecting the pretty things which Miss Rightfoot with her usual urbanity and cordiality was showing, and many lovely gowns were selected by Birming ham's fashionable set from the large and varied assortment. Huge baskets of flowers, roses, dah lias, lovely designs made up of ferns and gorgeous autumn blossoms xvere noticed ail about the beautiful rooms, each the gift of some friends of Miss Rightfoot**, some from Birmingham friends, others from the New York and eastern manu facturers, showing the high esteem In which Miss Rightfoot Is held. Miss Rightfoot. Just returned from New York. said about the season’s styles: "The most important feature in the fall Is the waistline. This is fitted so as to give the effect of being decidedly small. The princess type of dresses, now prevalent, further accentuates this slim ness, as does the fullness of the peasant type of skirt. It is well to mention that thlB, a decided moderation in tlie ampli tude of the skirts, 'the eight-yard-at-lhe hem circular skirt* being considered passe.’ Plaits are introduced to give the necessary fullness without qecoratmg from the carefully modulated contour.” Among the most attractive model shown at the opening yesterday at the Rightfoot Suit and Coat company was an evening gown of white tulle, built over white net and white satin. Three full flounces formed the overdress, each edged with crystal tinsel and the corsage whs draped with the tulle with a broad crystal tinsel girdle. The tiny sldeves were formed of chic little bows of the tulle. Prom the girdle depended a broad piece of the crystal tinsel which fast ened In front below the waistline, with a handsome crystal tinsel ornament. A stunning dinner gown of navy blue net over tinsel sappho was hand-em broidered In silver. The long sleeves were finished witli tiny sliver buckles xvhich clasped at the hands tightly. A modish evening gown of black and white cobweb lace was built over white net and with messaline. and was attrac tively draped Ip the new tunic effect, the corsage carrying out the soft drapery idea, and It was finished at the waist line with a cluster of French flowers. A very stylish "tailor-made" was of African brown cloth trimmed in cut but tons Jn a lighter shade of Drown arid the collar and cuffs were of beautiful beaver. A navy blue "tailor-made" was trimmed with Soutache braid, and a genuine squirrel collar was used, and the i belt and collar finished with ornaments. I A number of stylish coats in various ' designs and modish serge "trotteur" suits were shown, combined with plaid silk*. in me lomnioia university. rnese ies sons included cooking, sanitation and each branch pertaining to home-mailing, with an especial emphasis on purr has ing for the home. There were students from all over the United States and even Cuba. The Alabama club was delightfully enter tained by Miss Annie Kendrick Walktr at her apartment on Riverside drive. The visit, said Miss Rosser, was on the whole an interesting lesson filled with pleasure and profitable study. These lessons she has brought home for future service in the Jefferson coun ty schoolrooms. The work of this na ture Is so needed and has grown to such proportions that the canning club work has been severed from her duties in or der that she can absolutely devote more time to the main object of her charge- — specifically reaching mothers through the children and working for the best interests of both. Benjamin Franklin said: "Nor is duty beneficial because it is commanded, but it Is commanded because it is bene ficial." ^•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••eeeeaeeeeeeee Roll Stocking Makes Its Appearance Here Labor day was celebrated In Birming ham without untoward Incident.

The theatres and moving picture houses did a land office business and the streets were crowded all day long, and up until late last night. With the exception of one young lady, whose name could not be learned, who 'ap peared on Second avenue with the latest roll stocking, there was little out of the ordinary. The commotion caused by the "besocked" one was quite noticeable as she passed a corner which was crowded with the male sex. The lady passed on without looking to the right or left, I Her air was one of utter unconcern as she tripped gaily on her way, and it was evident that she was sure that she was in style and "should worry" whether or not the men took notice.
