FAVORABLE PROSPECTS
FOR INSURANCE COMPANY

merchants have examined it since and It
is said they are all pleased with the out
look and the plans prepared by the COM
mittee from the board.
The movement to organize this insur-
ance company was inaugurated in the
Board OF Trade about six months ago. A
committee ives appointed with Oliver
Chanfoux as chairman. with instructions
to investigate the ACCESSIBILITY of organic
ing the comceny and present a pros
pectus II posribie Since that time Mr..
Chalifoux has been working steadily on
the company and made report at the
last meeting OF the board:
The movement was commenced because
some of the merchants thought Birming-
ham were being Disseminated against by
the insurance companies and that 1t
would be cheaper and safer to organize a
local company. In speaking OF the matter
yesterday Mr.. Chalifoux said: :
There Is a great deal in connection
with the company that we cannot make
public at present. but from some things
which have occurred since Mr.. Dargan
came to the city we are greatly encour-
sged."

GREAT CROWD AT HENLEY

Henley, England, July 8.-Given con-
tinuance of the fine weather now pre-
vailing the coronation Henley regatta
promises to be of record from the view
point of those who regard 1t as a society
picnic. Landaus, drags, motor cars and
trains emptied a great concourse of peo-
pie at the riverside today and the town
accommodations were taxed to provide
shelter even for those willing to pay the
exorbitant charges prevailing. The club
enclosures occupied the choice positions
on the Bucking shore while below the
picturesque house boats lavishly adorn-
ed with flags and flowers, made capt.
tai show.
Ladies were present in great numbers,
all in their brightest and Arrest summer
costumes. The heat was oppressive, the
sky was scloudless and there was little
movement in the air. Consequently ev-
erybody able to obtain any kind OF craft
was on the river.
The American interest in the regatta
was enhanced by the fact that a num-

son Tells of What He Heard
at General Conference.

The Birmingham District Epworth

instructive.
The meeting was opened with prayer,
after which the convention took up the
discussion of the subject I" How Shall
League Officers and Committeeman Meet
the Responsibility Imposed Upon Them?"
Tie various talks we're of a practical
business turn, and many valuable sug-
gestions were submitted.
The second subject was 1.-The Mission
airy League" which was ably discussed
This was followed by a general consld-
GRAFTON of miscellaneous questions per-
tanning to the well-heing of the great or
ganization, which was demonstrated to
be in a most fourishing condition
In the afternoon The Bible in Literal
ture" was discussed at length, and then
the convention proceeded to deal in gen.
eral terms with 1.-The Inert Member and
What to Do With Him. The two sub
1ects took a wide range and a number of
able speeches were made. Additional
business was then disposed of, and the

last night
At the night session the first subject
brought forward was 1.-The Epworth

der of the Birmingham district of the
Methodist church, addressed the conven-
ton regarding what he learned of the
cause of the Epworth League in his ca
pacity as delegate to the recent gem
eral conference Of the church at Dallas.
Tex. DR.. Simpsons remarks were OF
great interest to the delegates and the
audience, as he made clear the great and
growing power of this remarkably suo
cessful adjunct of the Methodist church.

been in Birmingham several days making
the preliminary arrangements for OPEN
ing the books of the company and to
commence receiving subscriptions for

Mr.. Dsigan has met with encourage

to subscribe about $4,000 towards the

pected to take the other $4,000 of stock.
