THE DEAD SOLDIERS
Remembered During Services at Tenn
pie Emanuel.

The memorial service held at Temple
Emanuel last night in honor of the Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors who lost their lives
in the war with Spain, was largely at
tended.
Rabbi Newfield made an impressive and
sympathetic address in which he justified
the war on humanitarian grounds and paid
a fitting tribute to American valor. 1t was
an unselfsh war, waged to free an OPP
pressed people. The speaker deplored
war, for the principle of the battlefield was
anti-human. But a war in behalf of the
downtrodden was a war for humanity and
had the favor of Divine Providence. The
speaker said there was double meaning
in a memorial service such as that which
was being conducted. Not only must we
sing songs of reverence and words of
gratitude for heroic deeds expressed, but
the lessons of the occasion must serve as
monitors for the future. Grave RESPONSE
bilities and problems now confronted us as
a nation and he hoped they would be met
and solved for the good of the human race.
AT the close of the service a collection
was made for the benefit of the National
Monument fund.
The music of the evening was beautifully
rendered by the temple choir.

FIGHT ON GREATER
BIRMINGHAM BILL
Corporations Are Making War
on the Measure.
SLOSS co. AND SOUTHERN
Their Attorneys IN Montgomery Lobby
ing Against It-Object to Their
Property B eing Brought Into
New Corporate Limits.

News comes from Montgomery that the
Greater Birmingham" bill is hanging in
the balance.
A few days ago from all information OBJ
tainable its passage seemed a certainty.
Yesterday it was said to be doubtful.
Several big corporations with big inter-
ests near Birmingham are fighting the bill.
Leading this fight are the Sloss Iron and
Steel company and the Southern Railroad
company. John p Tillman. attorney for the
Sloss company, and A. G. Smith, attorney
for the Southern, are both in Montgomery
lobbying against the bill
Want Property Left Out
1t is said that the Sloss company desires
its East Birmingham furnaces left out of
the corporate limits. 1t was proposed at
one time to run line around the prop
erty of the Sioss company, relieving it
from taxation under the proposed plan of
consolidation. A similar privilege has been
asked for the Avondale cotton mills.
The Southern railroad has several miles
of track that would be taken in besides it's
shops in Twenty-seventh street. Both at
torneys, Tillman and Smith, are making a
determined fight on the bill, and if they
possess enough influence with the members
of the legislature they will defeat it.
Will Get Favorable Report
The Jefferson delegation has not held a
meeting this week, but enough signatures
~ hoo,
the committee to which it was referred
to insure a favorable report
The standing of the Jefferson county del
egation so far is not definitely known. Rep
the bill, while Representatives Huey and
Houston are its avowed opponents. The
two other representatives, Mcqueen and
Davidson, are undecided.
The success or defeat of the bill natur-
ally depends in a great measure upon the
ultimate decision of the two latter gentle
men. The advocates of the bill in Birming-
ham were notified yesterday that meeting
of the delegation would probably be held
today, when the representatives would all
likely state their views.
May Pass on Compromise
1t is not known just when the bill will
be reported. Those favorable to it are still
contending that a bill insuring Greater
Birmingham will pass in some shape after
satisfactory compromises have been made
with all parties
The City Charter Bill
A telephone message late yesterday after
noon from Alderman Altman, who is in
-uont gomery, stated that he would stay over
until Saturday night looking after the char
ter bill.
He said that he did not fear any opposi-
ton in the senate chamber, but there might
be another fight made on the measure in
the committee room. He thought, however,
that the success of the measure when it
came up in the senate for action was as
sured.

DRY DOCK ASSURED.
And New Orleans is Rejoicing Over
1t.

Birmingham and the railroads of this
district should be taking peculiar interest
just now in New Orleans, for the reason
that the government has just awarded a
$l,OO0,OOO contract for the erection of a big
steel dry dock, in which the great war
vessels of this country can be locked and
repaired" said Robert C. Morris, of the
Crescent City, who was in Birmingham
yesterday. THE erection of this dock will
bring a great deal of maratime influence
with it, which of all cities in the south
outside of New Orleans, will perhaps benz
fit Birmingham the most
Mr.. Morris has for some time past been
working for the establishment of a great
shipyard at New Orleans, for the building
of the largest types of vessels. He says
that this enterprise is now an assured fact
especially since the government has decided
to build the dry dock in that city.
New Orleans is in a better and more
prosperous condition now" continued Mr.
Morris, than it has ever been. There are
now between 10000 600 and Sill, 900 900 of pub
lie improvements going on, over IS, 900, 900 of
which is for sewerage. The Progressive
Union, similar In many respects to the
Commercial clubs of other cities, has lust
started an exposition which is to be an an
nual event, and 1t promises to be a great
success. This exposition is not one purely
of local interest, as 1t will contain exhibit
lions from almost all of the southern states
and many of the foreign countries sur
rounding the gulf. 1t will be known as
the Louisiana Industrial Exposition, and
this year will be open from May to May

Mr.. Morris Is one of New Orleans most
progressive citizens, and among other en-
terprises in which he Is interested is a
new steamship line from New Orleans to
