ALUMNI OF YALE
 ORGANIZE ASSN
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD AT THE HOTEL HlLLMAN - MEN PRESENT FROM THIS AND AD- JOINING STATES.

At a meeting held at the Hillman hotel Saturday night graduates of Tale univer- sity, who reside in this state and in Geor- ga. perfected an organization to be known as the Yale Alumni association of Ala bama, The purposes are to cultivate so- cial relations among Yale men in this and neighboring states and to extend the in- fiuence of Yale university.
 Before the war the southern states were largely represented at the university. An old Broadsde catalogue of 1911 gives the names of over three hundred southern men enrolled in the Yale college of that day. and the number constantly increased until the coming of the war. For some years after that interruption the repre- sentation was exceedingly small, but of late the number of students from this section has been rapidly increasing, and the formation of the new alumni associa- tion is one of the results of this in- crease
 That the university authorities appre- ciate the growth of southern interest in the institution was amply demonstrated by enthusiastic letters Of congratulation and encouragement from the secretary, the Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes. Jr.. and a telegram from President Arthur T. Had ley. which were read at the meeting.
 The association elected the following officers for the ensuing year;
 President, Professor w. P. Taylor, 's6 principal of the Taylor school of this city, vice-president, the Hon. A. A. Cole man, A, of this city, secretary treasurer, c. T. Peter, go. president of the Climax Coal company, and of the Southern Coal and Coke company of Maylene, Ala. The cers, ex-officio and two others, Noah H. Swayne, '93 president of the Alabama and Georgia Iron company, and of the Frog Mountain Ore company of Cedar town, Ga, and E. r. Buchner. '9s, pro- lessor of Pedagogy university of Alabama.
 At the close of the business meeting, about o'clock. the members of the new organization adjourned to the private din- ing room of the Hillman, where banquet was held, presided over by Professor w. P Taylor, the president. and an enjoyable evening was spent in listening to informal speeches and "reminiscences. College songs were sung and the famous Greek cheer of Yale was shouted with great gusto
 The members separated at a late hour. after voting that at least one such ban quet should be held each year hereafter
 In addition to the officers the following were among those present:
 w. l. Grubb 'S3, attorney of this city; G. H. Clark, 80, manager of the Dir mingham Belt railway; John A. Han, 97. of the Alice Furnace; Edward T. Luckner. 93, professor of pedagogy at the University of Alabama; Frederic C. Walcott, '91, vice president of the Aragon mills of Aragon, Ga.; H. T. Staats, 'S5, of this city; A. s.

MUCH COSTLY BUILDING

There is still a healthy activity in the real estate market although big sales were not as frequent last week as they were a week or two before.

 Buildings are in process of erection in every section of the city. Churches, stores, office buildings livery stables, factories and residences aggregating millions of dollars in value are going up in different directions.

 The available hotels at the present time are so crowded all the time that conservative investors seem to feel that another frst-class hostelry would be a good paying investment
 One of the city's most valuable manu- featuring plants-the Southern Sewer Pipe works-was destroyed by fire during the week, but it is confidently hoped and believed that it will be rebuilt on the same site.

Whereas. Such fluctuations have in

conditions accurate information must
be had so there should at all times be
