LETTER TO KREBS
SAYS HE MEANT NOTHING PER-
SONAL IN HIS "REMINISCENCES
MEETING TONIGHT AT SOUTH.
SIDE BAPTIST CHURCH..

mass meeting of the ministers and
citizens who are opposed to the pool sell
ing bill now pending in the legislature,
will be held tonight at o'clock at the

with the resolution adopted at a meet
Ing of the Pastors union at the First
Methodist church Saturday morning.
The Rev. Frank Willis Barnett has
written an open letter in reply to Pres
ident Allen j. Krebs of the Alabama
State Fair association, whose letter was
published in the Age-Herald yesterday,
in which Mr. Krebs said he would be
pleased to attend the meeting tonight and
present his views on the subject of the
pool measure.
The letter of Mr.. Barnett is as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Allen j. Krebs, President of the Ala
bama Fair Association.
My Dear Mr.. Krebs-The committee ap-
pointed by the ministers and citizens to
try and defeat the pool selling bill in
troduced by Representative Arlington beg
to inform you that 1t used your name
as the president of the Alabama Fair as
ISOLATION and not as private citizen.
The committee was anxious to have the
meeting send a committee to see you,
not TO get your lnulA1uual views OF the
bill, but to have you, as president of the
Alabama Fair association. clearly define
its position in regard to the bill.
The committee disclaimed any intention
of rejecting on you personally but open
ly stated that 1t believed the promoters
of the Alabama Fair associa ton were
working to have the bill passed. The
committee has no controversy with you
as q private citizen, but simply desires
to have you speak I'm your official ca
pacity as the head of the fair.
The committee. therefore, extends to
you as president of the Alabama Fair
associa ton, a cordial invitation TO be
present on Monday night at p. m. al the
mass meeting to be held at the Southside
Baptist church to state the position of the
Arlington bill.
FRANK WILLIS BARNETT,
Chairman.
=. S.-Permit me, who acted al the
mouthpiece of the committee to say that
in using your name In my report on last
Saturday morning. it was with no desire
to reflect on you personally. Never having
had the pleasure of meeting you, there
was certainly nothing personal I'm my
mind. | used your name merely as the
president of the Alabama Fair associa-
ton. f. W. b.
A mass meeting of the same nature as
the one called for tonight will be held
tomorrow night at the First Baptist
church.

JUSTIN THATcHER's CONCERT.
Well Known and Popular Tenor CON-
ing March 5.

Justin Thatcher. formerly of Birming-
ham, and recognized as one OF the most
popular tenors in the United States, will
give a concert next Monday night at the
Jesse French music hall. He will be as
sisted by w. C. e. Seeboeck, the Aus
trian pianist who has high reputation
Since Mr.. Thatcher was last heard here
he has been heard in many cities and al
ways with the same enthusiasm as when
he lived in this city
The Nashville Banner, in speaking of
his appearance there, says:
"A song recital was given last evening
in the clubroom of the Wednesday Morn
ing Musicale by Mr. Justin Thatcher. The
reception accorded him was most fatter-
ing, for the audience was composed of
the most musical people of this city, who
recognized an artist. The singers that
have come to Nashville in the past few
years have come much heralded, and
Nashville people have rushed to hear
them, paying goodly sums, In looking
back over the list of male singers who
have been heard here 1t is to be doubted
If a better voice-a more beautiful and
artistic voice-has been heard than that
of Justin Thatcher. Mr.. Thatcher is rap
idly forging his way to the front ranks,
wisely choosing the modest and quiet but
sure pathway
MIR. Thatcher's voice is a lyric tenor of
purity and high cultivation. sweet,
pure, yet strong tenor as Mr. Thatcher
possesses is something not often found
1t is rare gift. Since his appearance in
recital here last spring, Mr.. Thatcher's
voice has taken on new lustre and
strength. The continuous Improvement ia
a source of much pleasure to his friends
here. He is thoroughly artistic in his
style, and his conception is wonderfully
fine. The programme was a well-chosen
one, composed of about twenty exquisite
songs by modern composers His pro-
grammes are always heard with especial
interest here, and since his recitaIs of
last spring Nashville vocaIists have added
to their repertoire several of his songs
The programme of last evening brought
his style and voice out splendidly."

The Haverly Mastodon minstrel show,
at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon

can attraction since the palmy days
when the redoubtable Haverly controlled
a score of theatres ON both sides of the
Atlantic, and had as his assistants such
men as the F'rohmans and others now
equally conspicuous in the theatrical
world. Haverlys venturesome ambition
cost him the greater part of his immense
fortune, but 30 his minstrel company he
chung with undaunted courage, and
through the years II has survived the
fercest rivalry and keenest competition.
