s. R. o. SIGN
Hung Up at East Lake-The Theatei
 Was Packed

The Kilroy and Brittan combination, ab- solutely and without question of doubt the best summer show ever seen here, had a IS. R. O." sign out again last night at East Lake, and the audience roared with laughter during the entire performance
 The bill presented last night was thor oughly clean, and was full of genuine com edy and specialties. Kilroy and Brittan in their cast and with illustrated songs con- tinue to make their nightly hit while Wrothe and Wakefield keep the audience convulsed with laughter every second they are on the stage.
 The La Vigne sisters took the house by storm again, and the first time in the his- tory of the East Lake theater, money was showered down upon the stage during the course of their dancing act.
 The entire performance more than pleased the audience.
 Tonight there will be an entire change of programme, with new acts, new songs and new dances.
 Kilroy and Brittan will present their eastern success, "The New Typewriter" and Wrothe and Wakefield will appear in "McClure and the Cat.'
 The bill will be closed with a screaming one-act farce, ''The Coachman."

MANY NEW SHOES
Seen on the Streets of Birmingham and
 Reason Many Are in Evidence.

A representative of the Age-Herald while sitting in front of the Morris yesterday mo- ticed the large number of men and women passing wore new shoes. So numerous were there coverings for pedal extremities that the curiosity of the Age -Herald's rep resentatiVe was aroused, and he commenced an investigation to find out the cause of this thusness. He asked the first friend he met where all the new shoes came from. Why" answered his friend, you don't read your own paper" How is that?" "Why, did you not read Chamblee Bros advertisement? They are doing exactly what they advertised they would do; they are selling for $2.50, shoes worth s. $i and $5 --that's straight. am good judge of shoe leather and you cant duplicate these shoes anywhere else for $5, and they cost me $250.
 The Age-Herald' man then called on MT J. D. Chamblee and asked him how it was that his firm was selling $5 shoes for $250 "That's just what my customers would like to know" answered MT. Chamblee, how do 1t is my business. The fact that I am doing it seems to interest them, judging by the way they are buying. I have 1000 pair of these shoes left, and they are going fast We also have several hundred suits, rang ing from SS to $15, which we are selling for $5." "

Reported Yesterday Morning

The committee on scale, which consists of Frank Fournier, of Pratt City, chair man, Joe Haller, of Blocton, Hopkins BeVan, of Adger, J. A. Usher, of Cardiff, Hannibal Haywood, of Pratt City, J. M. Garth, of West Pratt, John Reel of War rior, Cap Clemmons of Johns, George Kuff- ner. of Belle Ellen, James Nelson of Brookwood, made it's report yesterday morning and the whole day was spent by the convention discussing 1t. After several amendments, the whole was adopted, and the executive board was instructed to mo- tify the mine operators that the conven- tion was ready to confer with them this morning at Il o'clock with regard to sign ing the new contract. This was done in the afternoon after the convention ad- journed, all of the operators living out of the city being notified by wire. Ii is ex- pected that there will be a number of them present, as there always has been when there was a new contract to be signed
 The report of the scale committee and the action the convention took upon it, has not yet been out in full, but in substance it is as follows:
 The report as adopted will ask of the
 
 district will be paid according to the scale given above. That is, all the mines with the exception of Blue Creek. On account of the thickness of the coal seam at that place, and consequently the comparative ease with which it is mined, the miners at that place have always received a little less per ton than at other mines Under the new schedule they will be paid on a sliding scale but at a rate just 41a cents below the other mines.
 The drivers and other laborers around the mine, it was decided, shall also re- ceive their pay on a sliding basis, though exactly of what nature could not be learned. The minimum prices for drivers however, is $1.46 per day when iron is sell ing for $7.60 per ton and under Other laborers also receive their wages on a scale similar to this.

The Executive Session

Beside the question of extra patrolmen the board took up the question of Tax Col- who said that MT. Gambill had asked him It was brought up by Alderman Altman, who said that MT. Gamble had asked him to find out what the board desired him to do in the matter of collecting taxes whethe it was agreeable to them to act as deputy constable and collect taxes by warrants. or how? After long discussion it was decided to ask the police commiss- toners to restore to MT. Gambll his powers as a policeman and let him use that author ity in collecting his taxes. In the meantime a statement was made that the commiss- toners had never taken away from MT. Gambill his police powers, but had simply taken away his badge, No. q which they thought belonged to a regular officer, as Gambilrs duties were of specific nature. They had offered him instead badge No. 33, but he had refused, saying that he pre- ferred being deputy sheriff.
 There was also some discussion as to the manner of advertising and drawing up the ordinances for the Issuance of the city improvement bonds.
