THE Rev. DR.. MUNHALL PLEASED
WITH REvlvAL-sERvIcEs TO.
DAY-rhREE O'CLOCK MEETING
FOR MEN ONLY.

The Munhali revival services today will
be the o'clock service for men only
and the evening service for men and
women. At the afternoon service DR.
Munhalfs subject will be 'erhe Book of
Books" This discourse was delivered
here on a previous Sunday and DR.. Num-
hall will repent 1t by request
DR.. Munhan was asked yesterday
whether the services had been satisfac-
tory to him, and IL there had been as
many conversions as he expected. He
said:
The services have been very satisfac-
tory on the whole although have not
had my musical director with me and
have myself been suffering a good deal
of the time with severe cold We have
the names of between six and sven hum
dred of those who have been converted,
and there are probably many more whose
names We did not obtain Invitations
were sent out to these today enclosing
reserved seat tickets for the great Jubilee
meeting to be held Tuesday night, which
will be especially for those who have
been converted. This will be the last
meeting"
How does Birmingham compare with
other cities in which. you have worked?"
DR.. Munhall was asked.
Birmingham, from a moral standpoint,
is rather above the average of a grow
ing town. There are always more bad
people in a new and growing communI-
ty than in an old and settled one They

WOODWARD MAY Be
TWELVE STORIES
Every Bit of Available Space In
Building Taken
NOW UP TO EIGHTH FLOOR
Owner Has Proposition Of Making Ad-
dition Under Conslderatlcn--ccn-
structlon Would Be Delayed
BY Wait for Material.
NOW UP TO EIGHTH FLOOR

Work on the woodward steel frame Of
fee building is being pushed rapidly. The
steel construction mechanics command
big wages, but they are skillful and
swift and earn their money.
Columns to support the seventh and
eighth floors were being placed in posi-
tion yesterday ard In another week the
tenth and last story will be reached. The
brick masonry has not progressed be-
yond the second floor, but in less than a
month 1t will be nearly IL not quite up to
the roof.
The building Is to be completed by the
first of October. Nearly all the material
is on hand and no bitches or delays are
likely to occur.
Every room in This great structure has
been leased and the demand for more Is
pressing. Mr.. woodward Is now consid-
ering the question of adding two stories
and making it a twelve-story building. 1t
is understood that Brown Brothers &
Co., agents for Mr.. Woodward, have
already applications enough to fill more
than one additional floor.
Asked yesterday IL the building would
have 70 stores upon it's completion in Oc-
tober Mr.. Weston, the supervising archi-
tect, replied in the negative, but he said
any number Of stores could be added at
any time. The leases begin in October.
and that being the case, the work of
construction cannot be delayed, as 1t
would have to be If the contractor waited
for additional material.
1t is thought likely that the building
will be carried up two stories some time
next spring. Could these stories be put
on while the building is going up the cost
would not be very large. But raising the
roof and adding two stories will involve
a cost of between forty and fifty thous-
and dollars.

stated below, and IL consistent with your
views. we earnestly ask your CO.

From the statements made by our City
Council, 1t is probably well understood
by you that 1t Is their intention to in
volve US in a bond issue, the proceeds
Of which are to be used in refunding our
present bonded Indebtedness To provide
for this they ask US to permit them to
increase our rate of taxation 100 per
cent, or to 81 on the 500, and, at the pres
ent stated valuation, this would raise a
sum approximately of 5000.
Inasmuch as a considerable portion Of
this amount would not be required to
meet our interest charges, we rightfully
inquire, what is the excess to be used
for? The only reply we can get is. taken
from the statement published in the call
for the election, which says: And for
making and maintaining public improve
ments."
This we consider too vague a reason for
submitting to this increased burden, and
the more so because the finances of our
city have been handled In such a manner
as to give us no idga as to our needs,
income or expenditures.

Estimates by passenger agents of the
number of Confederate Veterans who
have passed through Birmingham en-
route to the annual reunion at Dallas,
place the number variously at from 7OoO TO
10000 persons. OF this large number, prob
ably 500 have gone from Birmingham
and the immediate territory surrounding
the city.
Never in the history of the railroads
has a larger travel to any Texas point
been experienced than that which Is go
ing on now. For the past two days all
through trains have been running In two
sections and have been simply packed
with the old soldiers going to renew
friendships and tell stories of experiences
back IN the long ago. Many other trains
will carry out multitudes today and to-
morrow.
Large delegations from Kentucky and
Tennessee and other more northern and
eastern states have been passing through
on these trains. Among those who have
come through on the Alabama Great
Southern were the party of Gen. George
B. Taylor from Lexington; General Nc
Gee from Bristol, Tenn, and large par
ties from Virginia The Louisville and
Nashville carried through large parties
from various portions Of Tennessee, Ken
lucky and other states. All Of these lat
ter crowds go by New Orleans, and many
will spend today there.
The Central of Georgia. will have a
special train from Columbus. Ca, tomor-
row at noon, which will be loaded with
veterans from Savannah, Macon and Co
lumbus, as well as other points along
the route. The parties from these cities
will be the largest and will include some

are more responsive and thims is also due
to the fact that there Is less skepticism

Yes, there are people here from all

The answers came from people who had

Ocean freight also shows tendency to
improve as demand increases.
1t need hardly be stated that the entire
furnace plant of the country Is pushed
to its maximum and that little increase
of output can be looked for before mid
summer, when some of the new furnaces
under construction by the large steel
works will be completed. There is still
plenty of trouble in assembling raw ma
terials because of lack of railroad equip
ment. Some of the large systems are
receiving an average of a new locomotive
a day and freight cars in like proportion
but freight officials say that the effect
is scarcely noticed, so great is the short
age.
