BOARD OF TRADE HAS
NOT NAMED TICKET
President Blach Says the Matter Is In
Hands of Committee and There
Is Nothing to Say.

The Board of Trade has not yet Sc
lected the municipal ticket which 1t Is
proposed to put out at the coming cleo
ton. Mr.. Coman Blaeh, president of the
board, said yesterday that their plans
were not complete and that the matter
was In the hands of a committee which
had not yet reported. Further than this
Mr.. Blach stated there was nothing to
give to the public.
1t Is understood, however that the
board will put out a full ticket and make
a vigorous fight to elect it. Many OF the
merchants who are members of the Board
of Trade feel that they have not been
given proper consideration by the city
They think that the merchants tax which
was taken off In section of the license
schedule was run into section l.
The name of Mr. j. H. MeCary has
been mentioned as the probable candi-
date for Mayor on the merchants ticket
The city campaign will probably open
up in a week or two. So far there are
but two announced candidates for mayor,
the present incumbent, Mayor w. NJ
Bremen and Capt Frank p. o'Brien.

Action Of Attorney MOOTGtO Have
lis Franchises Abrogated
DECISION PROBABLE TO-DAY
Complaint Is That the Company Has
Violated Its Contract BY Furnish
Ing Citizens Alleged I'M
pure Water.

The application to have the charter of
the birmingham Water Works Company
revoked is being heard In the City Court
before Judge Wilkinson on motion filed
by the defendant to quash the alterna-
tive writ The case Will probably be de-
cided today. If the motion of the defen-
dant ia sustained the case will be dis
missed, but the plaintiff may amend his
peadlngs and file a new suit.
The title of the case Is the State ex.
rel. John ]. Moore vs. the Birmingham
Water Works Company. The petition was
filed by the relator on April 2G, 1902, and
he alleged in his petition that the de-
fcndant was an organization claiming to
have a franchise and was engaged In the
business of furnishing water to the citi-
zens of Birmingham for domestic and
other purposes. That 1t was It's express
duty under Its charter to furnish the
citizens at all times with pure water
yet In fragrant and open violation OF said
duties and willful misuse and abuse of
the corporate franchises exercised by it,
it had for the past three years failed to
IuIIlSu lne CtllHtllS WIN pun "ShNA'
The court was asked to annui the char
ter.
To this petition the defendant filed a
demurrer alleging that the petition was
inconsistent, and vague and that II did
not make such a case as they should be
required to answer.
The defendant also moved to quash the
alternative writ which was issued re-
quiring it to show cause why the prayers
of the petition should not be granted
on the following grounds:
l. That said action was not commenced
by summons and complaint.
2. That there is no complaint setting
forth clearly and concisely the omission
or act complained Of
g. That the petition Is inconsistent, I'M
certain and vague in Its allegations.
A. That though in and by said petition
it is averred that this defendant is duly
Incorporated, yet by the alternative writ
it Is called upon to show by what au-
thority 1t is exercising corporate func-
tions.
The petitioner is represented in propria
persona and the defendants by Mr.. Alex
T. London and Mr.. John London.

DECIDE TO WAIT
FOR LOWER BIDS
SANITARY COMMISSION COMMIT.
TEE WILL DO NOTHING AS TO
SEWERS UNTIL CONTRACTORS
REVISE THEIR FIGURES.

The Indications are that work will not
commence In n hurry on the proposed
trunk sewers In jefferson county, for the
building of which the Jefferson County
Sanitary Commission has been authorized
to spend $4,000. At tho last meeting OF
the commission bids for the construction
of the sewers were opened but none OF
them wero accepted, the commission
thinking that they were all too high. The
commission before adjourning appointed a
construction committee to look into the
matter and see II the bids were really too
high, and IL lower bids could not be OBJ
talned Mr.. I. II. Motion is the chair
man of this committee. Asked yesterday
If the committee had recommended the
acceptance OF any of the bids Mr.. Mol
ton said:
Nothing definite has been done We
are waiting to see if the lowest bidders
for the work will not make their bids
still lower. We are unwilling to accept
the bids, or recommend their acceptance,
at the present prices l understand that
the constructors who bid on the work
are endeavoring to see If they can OBJ
tain cheaper mat erial and lower freight
rates, and If they are successful in this
then they may make lower bids. I am
in favor of not beginning the work until
satisfactory bids are to be had.
Under the bids of the lowest contrae-
tors the cost of laying common brick Is
figured at about S. a thousand more than
the committee thinks ought to be charged.
The reason the bids are high Is because
contractors at the present time have all
the work they can care for at profitable
prices and they are not keen to compete
for new work. The time will come how
ever, when work is not so plentiful as at
present and l think 1t advisable to walt
a while and see If better bids can not
be obtain ed"
Mr.. Arthur w. Smith, chairman of the
finance committee, stated yesterday that
none of the bonds for which bids were
recently advertised have been sold

CAME AS A SURPRISE.
No One Mentioned to Succeed Pro-
fessor Roof at Howard College.

The decision of President F. NJ Roof
of Howard College not to again accept
the office ne has so ably filled for the
past five years came as a surprise to the
members of the board of trustees, and as
a result the name of no man has been
mentioned in connection with the vacancy.
1t will be filled, though, within the next
few weeks.
A meeting Of the trustees will be held
June "A, at the regular annual meeting
of the Baptist Association at Decatur;
and it is possible Professor Roofs sue
cessor will be selected then. The mat
ter is in the hands of a committee with
Professor Smith of East Lake as chair
man.
The failure of the trustees of Howard
College to accept the offer of John D.
Rockefeller was on account of the short
time in which the college should get the
money required to secure the gift. Only
ten months was allowed for securing $685.,
900, and it was believed this was entirely
too short. The trustees will make eff
forts to have the offer made again with
a more extensive time limit.

PAY ANY PRICE FOR
QUICK DELIVERY
THE IRON MARKET CONTINUES
sTRONG-ONE OF THE LEADING
FuRNAcEMEN PREDICTS SOFT
MARKET A YEAR HENCE.

While future delivery iron mas rot been
selling mere very freely tha week the
tone of the market continues strong and
the demand for immediate delivery In
small lots is as brisk AS 1t has ever been.
Buyers who need iron are quick to pay
at the rate of $3.50 basis. The fact
is they Will yay almost any price as a
premium on prompt shipment
The quotations for fall delivery are on
a SIG to $500 basis, and next week will
probably bring quotations IA little higher.
1t is believed, however, that large con-
tracts will go at SIG for some weeks to
come.
Selling for 1908 is likely to begin here
in July. If general prosperity keeps up
there will be free selling for the first two
quarters of next year An experienced
iron broker said yesterday that he looked
for stiff prices up to July, 1903, and soft
market after that time. He based his
predictions of a declining market year
or SO hence on the increased furnace out
put He said the new furnaces in course
of construction would bring the produce
ton in this country up to eighteen or
nineteen million tons against the present
make at the rate of between fifteen and
sixteen millions. And with such large
increase, he thought prices would go
down for a while.
Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Birmingham let
ter of tomorrows date will read:
This week develops no special features
in the iron market. Predictions as to
prices for the future are based on the
probable outcome of the anthracite coal
strike.
"While no large sales have been report
ed during the week a number of small
contracts were made Tor delivery running
through the balance of the year. The car
supply has been good and shipments reg
ular.'

EMBERS of local posts OF the
M Grand Army of the Republic
VI dropped out of the parade III
honor of General Fitzhugh Lee yesterday
morning because a Confederate flag was
being carried by one of the color bearers
There were probably thirty-flye veterans
of the North In the parade, and these IN
a bodv left the ranks, giving as their rea-
son that the ritual of the G. A. r. states
that no representative of the G. A. X
shall march in a procession or parade In
which there is a Confederate flag I'M
furled.
The movement was made quietly and
only a few persons in the vast throns
were aware of it, among those, however,
being General Lee and few Of the lead
ers OF the Confederate veterans CT Biz
mingham.
The G. A. r. veterans state they intend
ed no insult whatever to the Confederate
flag OF TO the Co1fe derate veterans, at
whose invitation they took part in the
parade. They claim they entered the pa
rade and agreed to take part in the cere-
monies believing it was to be public
affair. They claim that the matter was
not n personal one, but that such a course
10 prescribed in the oath they take when
they join the G. A. r., ard also portion
of the ritual. They also state it could not
hc changed by the commanding general
Of the G.. A. r.
Tha situation was explained to the rep
rosentatives of the Confederate Veterans
and they stated no action would be taken
dov to mar the harmony Of the occasion
was the withdrawal of the G. A. r. post
from the line because the Confederate flag
was borne in line. There was no feeling
about the matter. The c. A. r. pledge of
fealty to the order and the teachings OF
its ritual bars G. A. r. organizations from
participating in any ceremony where the
old red. white and red is unfurled. The
Union veterans meant no disrespect to the
Confederate veterans, and of course no
disrespect to Lee. There was indeed the
best of feeling all around. The little incl
dent simply could not be helped.
General Lee had intended leaving this
evening or Saturday morning, but he has
been persuaded to remain until Saturday
afternoon. Arrangements will be made
for reception at the Country Club in
his honor Saturday morning. Lee has
never seen much of Birmingham, and the
committee is DESTROYS of showing him the
city ard the district this time. and he
is just as DESTROYS of seeing all that is
to be seen.

e. A. R. VETERANS WOULD
NOT FALL IN BEHIND
CONFEDERATE FLAGS

in the matter, and that they would be
present today at the national memorial
ceremonies at Oak Hill cemetery just as
they would have been had the matter not
arisen.
Past Division Commander j. clyde Mill
lar, who will be in charge of the cere-
monies at oak Hill today said yesterday
afternoon:
mo insult was intended. We are bound
by oath not to take part in any parade in
which there Is a Confederate flag We
take this oath when we join the G. A. r.,
and a provision to that effect is also
made in the ritual.
1.-The matter was not q personal one at
all, and we meant no dlscourtesy to Cen
eral Lee or the Confederate flag. We
were merely abiding by the oaths We had
taken. We took part in the parade with
the understanding that it was a public
affair"
When asked if he did not think the
oath was rather out of the ordinary,
Major Millar replied he did not think so,
that it was made when the Grand Army
was organized many years ago, and when
the feeling was different from what it is
now.
1t is the general opinion that it will
not have any effect on the Confederate
Veterans taking part in the national Dec
Grafton Day at Oak Fill cemetery.
Major Miner, commander of Camp
Hardee, stated last night that the camp
was not aware a Confederate flag was in
the parade and that the camp had au-
thorized none but the Camp Hardee flag.
