industrially. but a seeond-class city com mercially.
 In the matter of politics Mir. Sinnlge said that as a rule they were good things to let alone. but that if there was any pro- posed legislation or any candidates who were opposed to the commercial interests of Birmingham. that the board of trade should do all it could to crush them out
 ''fhe merchants have to bear the burden of municipal citizenship" he Said, "and let's do all VIC can to make the burden as light as possible"
 Speeches were also made by Messrs. Loyeman, Colby, Hirsch, Fox, Myatt, Col lins, Armstrong, Stradford and others. MT. Fox said, among other things, that the merchants of the city had been bearing the burdens for number of depressive years, and that now when things were get ting little easier, was no reason that the rent should be jumped up on them.
 Only Merchants Can be Members
 While the speeches were being made somebody wanted to know if contractors would be admitted to membership. The Idea was then brought out, which all of the speakers approved, that nobody but mer- chants. even if there were other business lines closely allied to the mercantile busi- ness, should be admitted to membership.
 A resolution was passed thanking Cap tain 5ohoolar for the use of the armory.
 At this point MT. O'Neal wanted to know what the board was going to do about fighting the Birmingham amendment" and then the facts stated above were brought out.
 During the meeting all of the merchants present signed papers making themselves and their firms members of the board The fact was fully explained by MT. MeGowan that he and others who had been interested in working up the movement had not had time to see aN the merchants in the city before the meeting, and that many of them had received no personal invitation to be present, but that it was understood that every merchant in the city, retail and wholesale. was given a cordial invitation to join the association. The following Is the list of firms signed for membership last night:

1.-THE PLAY~

All arrangements have been made for pulling off the 1.-Two Bills' performance to- morrow night, and the final rehearsal will be had this afternoon and tonight. The best amateur talent in Birmingham has been secured to assist in the performance, and the public will be given two hours of frst-class rollicking fun. During the night Professor Miles of the athletic club will give his illuminated club swinging exhi- bitions. Sidney Lazarus has also con- sented to do his tramp speciality act. One of the most amusing turns of the whole performance will be the boxing match be- tween two little pickaninnies, Yho will fight under the names of Fitzsintnons and Jeffries. These two "heayywekyhts' will fight to finish, but just what their fin- ish will be cannot be foretold. The fight will evidently be very even as no money has been put up in sporting circles. The friends of the two Bills (Biilie West and Billie Sprague) are doing everything possi- ble to make the performance a great suc- cess, and expect large crowd at the opera house Friday night. Tickets will be on sale at the box office Friday morning.

CAR WHEEL TRUST
The Plant at Anniston Falls Into Its
 Hands

The Southern Car Wheel and Equipment company, popularly known as the lear wheel trust" has gained possession of the Illinois Car Wheel and Equipment company of Anniston.
 This combination was organized a week or two ago, with headquarters at Gadst1en, and was at first composed of the car wheel works at Gadsden, those at Memphis, and those at Lenoir, Tenn., and the latest ac- Quisition will be the works at Anniston. All of these plants manufacture not only car wheels, but turn out a large number of freight and other cars. They will prac- tically control the car building industry in the south.
 The general manager of the combine was in the city Tuesday night and left early yesterday morning for Anniston. where 1t was understood that he would attend to the transfer of property yesterday.
 The Decatur Car Wheel works of Bir- mingham are not in the combine, but it's manufacture Is limited to car wheels and car building Is not attempted.

U. s. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Issues Volume on Use of Water for
 Power and Irrigation

Washington, May A.-The United States Geological survey has just issued an im- portant volume prepared by F. H. Newell, relating to the use of water for power ir- rigation and other industrial purposes be- ing the product of ten years experience, and systematic measurement. It gives facts concerning rivers in various localities from Maine to California, and shows the greatest least and average flow by months.
 This report is made up of number of papers. A large number of measurements of the Arkansas river Is described and data bearing upon the great problem of in- terstate water placed on record, Kansas farmers claiming that the irrigators in Colorado are taking the water which be- longs to them. Similar conditions are shown to exist on the Rio Grande the wal ,ters of which are not only claimed by Col- crado and New Mexico, but also by the re- public of Mexico, giving rise to an mpor- tant international contention. Facts re- fgarding the rivers of Texas are also noted and the extraordinary rapidity with which the sediment is destroying the great million dollar reservoir and water power at Austin are illustrated by diagrams.
 Y The volume is elaborately illustrated, Every attempt has been made to render othis volume convenient for reference and attractive in appearance in order that the attention of the public may be drawn to the great possibilities to further utiliza- tfon of the water resources, both east and west.

Negro Usrying Isout

A cutting affray occurred in the con- missary, corner First avenue and Twenty ninth street yesterday afternoon between Jerome Pearson and Andrew Grout, two negroes. Grout received two or three cuts in the lower part of the body, but none were of serious nature. After doing the cutting Pearson hurriedly left the place. Officers Patton, Eagin and Mcdonald soon arrived and after some difficulty located the negro. As soon as he spied the officers, Pearson started to run. and led the pelice- men a lively chase for some time. They finally cornered him in the stock yards near Twenty-seventh street, and, after handcuffing him, brought him back to the city. Grout was also arrested, and both negroes are In jail with a charge of affray docketed against them.

Decision Held lin

J. s. Mcintosh, who was arrested some days ago for running a gambling table, was given a hearing in police court yes- terday morning. At the close of the evil dence the court postponed decision until a brief of authorities could be submitted by w. T. Hill, attorney for the defense. The table referred to was operated in the rooms of the South Side Reading club, of which, it is said, Mcintosh was a member. The line of defense was that, though Me Intosh knew gambling had gone on there, he had nothing to do with the operation of the table, and was in. no wise interested in it's winnings or losings. Several days will probably lapse before Judge Feagin de- cides the case.
