MAY BE TIE STATE CAPITAL.
If Yellow Fever is in Montgomery Headquar-
tiers Will Be Established Here.

Gov Johnston who mas been in Biz
mingham several days was very much
annoyed about the reports of yellow fe-
Yer in Montgomery.
IF they should prove to be true, he
would be forced to temporarily locate
the executive office of the state in Biz
mingham. One of his secretaries is here
now.
As Birmingham has quarantined
against Montgomery, his private secre-
tary, Chapel Cory, cannot get to Bir-
mingham, and if it should develop that
yellow fever is in Montgomery, the gov
ernor will, of course, not return There,
as he could not leave the city again and
probably could send out mo correspond
ence.
SO Birmingham may be the temporary
state capital
Gov. Johnston was about the business
center of Birmingham quite a while
yesterday, and was overwhelmed with
inquiries as to the truth of the report
of yellow fever in Montgomery. To all
he responded that he hoped there were
no cases and that he had no reason to
believe that there were her than the
street rumors. If these rumors prove to
be false, he Will probably return to Mont
gomery ON Monday.
The governor has made up quite a
party to go to Nashville ON Alabama
Day. All the members of his staff and
several friends, including a number of
ladies, will leave here in private car
on Thursday a1 erroon, and will spend

Commissioner of Agriculture Culver is

KEY TO SCHOOL SITUATION
Mr.. Steiner Offers to Pay the
OF TEN INDECENT CHILDREN
Says Charge of Tuition is luevitable-0ther
Men Should Come Forward, Says
Member of the School Board.

Sgfried Steiner, philosophical
citizen of Birmingham, has offered a
happy solution of the forced non-attend-
ance of INDECENT childrsn in the, public
schools on account of the tuition fee
system.
He offers to pay the tuition of tell
children In the schools and other citi-
zens by coming forward with a similar
offer could materially Tighten the sit
ua ton.
Mr.. Steiner has just returned from a
tour through Europe and gives his prop
osttion in the following card.
birmingham. Ala, Oct. 16, 1897.
To The Age-Herald.
Since my return to the city yesterday,
after an absence of four months, I have
been informed of the existing unfortun-
ate condition requiring the pawn mt of
tuition by children to obtain admission
TO the pubic schools. l have no child
rem at school myself but feel interested.
1t looks as though 1t will work hard
ship upon some; but appears unavoida-
BILE, tn step being forced upon the city
au' horftieS, and is not of choice, but Of
necessity.
Why not those in more fortunate cir
cumstances assist the poor to enable
their children to receive an education?
L Will upon application OF the parents
and statement of their inability, pay the
monthly tuition for the entire term for
ten children. thus avoiding thu humilia-
ton of public disclosure of poverty.
Respectfully,
SIGFRIED STEINER
The lodges have all responded nobly to
the call. Almost every lodge in the city
has agreed to pay the tuition of children
of the members who are financially un-
able to do SO.
1t is thought that this will relieve the
situation. The question has been agi-
tated for some weeks without result
and 1t now appears that every one is
fully cogniZant of the claim of the city
authorities that ii is either a case Of
charge tuition or close the schools.
They claim that this would be more
hurtful than to charge a small tuition
fee. A member of the board of educa-
ton, in speaking of the matter, said last
night that he was very much gratified
that some one had offered solution to
the question
1.-The board of education has been very
much perplexed over the matter" said
he. "The people demanded absolutely
free schools. We know 1t Is due them,
but glance at the city's financial con-
dition will demonstrate that we can
not do this. =
Continued agitation can do no good
We can't run the schools without money
and that is the whole secret of the mat
ter. Let either gentlemen of means come
forward as Mr. Steiner has done"
The committee appointed by the
Trades Council and the Regents of the
White Shield will hold another joint
conference tomorrow. What steps will
be taken are not known.
