CLUB MEMBERSHIP
BirminghamAthIetic Club Holds
Enthusiastic Meeting
NEW BUILDING FINISHED
Initiation Fee VIII Be Increased From
sis to $25 on July THE
Question of Extra
Charges.

Get new members" was the unani-
nous sentiment of the Birmingham Ath-
letic club at an enthusiastic meeting held
last night.
The present membership of the club is
S75 exclusive of the 100 life members, and
a number Of those present last night
pledged their vigorous efforts to increase
the membership to 500 during the month
of June. The initiation fee now is SO,
but after July l will be $25.
At the opening of the meeting President
Scion Jacobs made a report showing that
the handsome new club building on Tween
tieth street between Fifth and Sixth ave-
nues, would represent when completed
and equipped a total outlay of about $780,
900, making one of the handsomest ath-
letic clubs in the entire south. and as far
as appointments are concerned one of the
best In the country.
The building is now completed with the
exception of few interior fnishings, and
will be turned over by the contractor be-
fore July 1.
Some of the Features.
The swimming pool and bath rooms are
of solid marble, and present splendid
appearance Three boiling alleys and a
number of pool and billiard tables have
been ordered, and they will be Of the
finest manufacture in the United States.
In point of comfort the club will have
a splendid equipment.
w. d, Nesbit chairman of the finance
committee, made a very interesting talk,
stating the ways and means by which the
money for carrying on the work thus far
had been raised, and the means proposed
for running and maintaining the club In
a suitable manner. The plan proposed by
the board of governors was to place
charge on the pool and billiard tables and
on the boiling alleys-about half Of that
charged by the regular billiard halls and
alleys in Birmingham and also a charge
of about 1 cent for each towel used in the
baths.
As to Extra Charges.
James Bowron, ex-chairman OF the
finance committee, made vigorous talk,
approving the pool and boiling charges,
but not that on towels. The question was
fully discussed by DR.. j. r. Dedman,
Gait Braxton, w. H. Ferguson, Bonner
Dunlap, George Huddleston, Pupont
Thompson, John Fletcher e. T. Wilcox,
Ed Warren and others,
No vote was taken as the meeting was
purely an advisory one, and the matter
is one entirely in the hands Of the board
of governors.
The prevailing opinion, though, was
that pool, billiards and boiling should be
charged for temporarily and towels also
II absolutely necessary. AS soon as the
Increased membership of the club war;
rants 1t, the board of governors pledged
themselves that all extra charges should
be removed at once.

NEGRO BURGLARS
BADLY WOUNDED
J. C. MA5EN's BUTLER DID PLUcKY
AND EFFEcTA WORK WHEN
TWO MEN BROKE INTO THE
HOUSE.

Two negroes broke into the residence
of ]. C. Maben, president of the sloss-
Sheffield company, Sunday night about
o'clock, and were met with warm and
rather disastrous reception. The butler
heard the negroes entering a window and
armed himself with a revolver and a
Ratchet.
As the first negro entered the window
the butler chopped him on the back with
the Ratchet, and wounded him seriously,
although not enough to prevent his es-
Gaping. The wound is just between the
shoulder blades and the butler states that
he drew blood Immediately and in large
quantities.
The other negro turned to run as he
saw his partner fall from the window,
and the butler fired at him, striking him
in the center OF the back. The negro
grabbed his back and followed long and
Justify, and this is what makes the butler
think he was hit bad. Before the butler
could go around and get out into the yard
both the negroes had escaped, although
they left some traces of blood behind
them. 1t is believed that the police will
be able to trace the negroes by their
wounds. The case was reported to the
police yesterday morning about 10 o'clock,
and they are working on It, The residence
is at so3 South Twenty-hrst street.

DIR. J. II. Phillips said that 1t was a
good thing sometimes to be Protestant.
And it gives me pleasure tonight to be
Protestant along with Father OReilly,

He added that there is something greater
than religion and that something was the
universal human kinship. He said the

time and In any form"
Father O'Reilly.
The Rev. Father P. A. oReilly made
a characteristic speech emphasizing the
universal brotherhood of man and adding
a touch of quaint humor that heightened
the effect of his remarks He said that
massacres must be deplored at all times
and in all countries. He added that the
people of this country especially should
protest because great wrongs have so
often been rectified in the past by pub
lie sentiment developed in this land of
freedom.
DR.. uIIman and Others.
DIR. Samuel Ullman said that he did not
speak as a Jew at this time, because the
present meeting was confined to no re-
ligious creed. His remarks were fervent
and reflected the depth of his feeling on
the subject. His statement that Count
Cassin had lied when ne said the trouble
was caused by the usurious practices OF
the Jews in Russia was greeted by en-
thusiastic applause.
Robert Jemison said that the Jew gives
us the most perfect example of home life
Of any race In the world, adding that
when a people is blessed by happy homes
1t is bound to be great. He cited Isidore
Newman of New Orleans as the greatest
philanthropist in Louisiana.
The Rev. Dr. ]. P. McFerrin said in

shame and makes his satonic majesty look
