MOVEMENT ID PAY DEBTS OF VULCAN ]. A. Mcknight Submits Plan to Commercial Club WOULD RAISE THE MONEY The Man Who Originated the Idea of Having the Iron Man Thinks the
 Time Has Come to Pay
 Off the Debt.
WOULD RAISE THE MONEY

A movement is on foot to pay off the debts of "vulcan' and erect him on the highest peak of Red mountain. The sub ject was brought up at meeting or the board of directors of the Commercial club at 3:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon through a communication from J. A. Mac Knight. He suggested that the time had come when something should be done with the statue, and urged that the club raise enough money to put 1t up where 1t could stand for ages as a symbol of Birming ham of the present and Birmingham of the future. After discussing the subject at length the board decided to leave the matter in the hands of President Motion. with instructions for him to proceed as he thinks best
 MT. Motion brought the subject up at the Commercial club smoker last night and seemed to favor the plan of having 1t erected as soon as possible. His words were supplemented by Dr. O. T. Dozier, who told of the advertising Birmingham had received by placing Vulcan on ex- hibition at the St. Louis exposition. He also pointed out the advertising 1t would bring the city if erected in Capitol park.
 There Is not a person In Alabama who is not familiar with the story of Vulcan. The state did not feel disposed to place an exhibit at the fair, and MT. Mac- Knight suggested the idea of the iron man to the Commercial club, and about S25,0 900 was raised to erect a statue 56 feet tall of cast iron. The work was exc cuted here and when completed the statue represented the second largest cast iron monument in the world It was placed on exhibition at the worlds fair and was one of the wonders of the exposition.
 After the exposition it was taken to pieces and shipped back home. From that time it has been lying on the side cf Red mountain. MT. MacKnight says 1t is in bad condition, and for that reason he urges that the club put it up There Is about $2400 still due on the statue.
 The plan of MT. Mcknight is to come to Birmingham and take active charge of raising the amount necessary to pay off the debt on Vulcan, and to set the iron pose to put the statue on the highest knob of the mountain if permission to do so can be secured from the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. The money will be raised by public subscrip- tion and in various other ways.
