WOMEN REQUIRED
 TO FURNISH BOND
SIX WHO RUN HOUSES IN THE FRED LlGHTu DIsTRIc- WERE PLACED UNDER ARREST YEs- TERDAY.

The first step towards carrying out the wishes of residents of the Sixth and Seventh wards, in which 1t was said that the city proposed to permit the estab- lishment of a red light district, was made yesterday when six women now residing in that section of the city were required to give $50 bonds for tskir ap- pearance in the inferior criminal court Wednesday afternoon at o'clock. Two of the women are white and the others are negroes. A third white woman was told that she would have to make bond today.
 It is understood that all of the women will employ attorneys and that fight will be made against the charge. that of running houses of i'll fame. It Is also understood that they will demand war rants, which means that some of the citizens who object to them will have to prosecute the cases.
 Just what effect the appearance before Judge Feagin will have will be watched with interest by those who are opposed to the district. They were instrumental in having the charges prefered Ever since he was instructed by the police commission to confer with the city at torney and proceed against the women, Chief wier has been thinking out a plan on which to work. He gave Captain Johnson orders yesterday morning to in- struct his men to make the arrests, and the duty was assigned to Policemen Hickman and Armstrong.

SENT TO CAGE FOR
 STANDING IN COURT
NEGRO PREACHER WOULD NOT SIT DOWN WHEN ORDERED TO DO so BY JUDGE FEAeIN YEs- TERDAY.

A negro preacher named McGill was locked up for half an hour yesterday for persisting in standing up in the inferior criminal court room. He was placed in the cage where prisoners are kept while awaiting trial and left the court room immediately after being released. It was said that he went to the court with a view to marrying a couple.
 The court room was crowded at the time and moro than once Judge Feagin had rapped for order. He had just warned every one in the room that quiet should prevail and that every person present would have to sit down. The preacher was standing in door and did not budge. Come over here, you preacher" said the judge.
 The preacher hastened towards the bar of justice. His eyes gleamed as though he thought the judge expected to make special ruling to procure hi ma seat -1n this he was not mistaken.
 "Open the door to the jail, there," said the judge. land let this man in. If there are any others who want seats let them come over this way" said the judge In a moment not person was standing and silence reigned supreme.

and others from Birmingham. They were having good time.'
 Then MT. Allen began to tell number of stories about his stay in England While there he made a trip to Stratford- on-Avon, the birthplace of his old friend, William Shakespeare, whose words of wis dom Mir Allen so often quotes in the trial of criminal cases to the dispair of op- posing counsel and to the edification of judge and jury.
 T took along with me an English boy as a guide," said MT. Allen. and when we got to Stratford- -on-Avon my guide began to tell me all seriously about the place. Here said he, Is the birthplace of William Shakespeare, and there Is the Anne Hathaway cottage and there Is the Shakespeare memorial theatre He asked me if I would like to see the birthplace and the cottage and the theatre and I told him 1 would. When we got quite through, said to the boy:
 wonder where I can buy Shakes peare's works?
 My guide looked at me in astonish- ment. Works? said he. 'Works I never heard of his works. sir I've heard of his birthplace. and the cottage and the thea tre, sir, but I never heard of the works. sir
 It was right funny commented MT. Allen. T suppose the boy thought meant the Shakespeare foundry works or the Shakespeare pottery works. At any rate, he knew nothing of the works "

ATTENTION OF CHIEF
 IS CALLED BY MAYOR
 TO THE ALABAMA CLUB

Some of the residents in the vicinity of Fifth avenue and Twenty-hrst street say that a gambling house Is in operation In that section of the city. They have made formal complaint to the Mayor and he has notified Chief of Police Wier to make an investigation. The following communi- cation was forwarded to the chief yester- day:
 ''W. E. Wier, Chief of Police, City.
 Dear Slr-It Is reported that place for gambling is being run at the south west corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty first street.
 Please investigate and if such is a fact suppress 1t. The city will not toler- ate even the semblance of a gambling house in such a locality.
 Awaiting report, l am very truly,
 (Signed) GEORGE B. WARD,
 Mayor" The house designated by Mayor Ward is occupied by the Alabama club.
 Chief Wier informed the Mayor that he would give the matter his immediate at tention. He will confer with City Attor- ney Smith today regarding the law in order to make every step legal Under the laws of Alabama, which gives social organizations certain privileges. the chief of police realizes. he says, that In dealing with what Is known as the Ala bama club, he must not go beyond his authority. He says that if the members are violating the law he will certainly

do his duty and see that the violators are brought to justice.
 At one time the Alabama club, known originally as the Shakespeare club, was the exclusive social organization of Bir- mingham. Many distinguished men of the state were entertained there during their stay in Birmingham and the membership comprised some of the wealthiest men in the city. The headquarters of the club has been moved several times. A few months ago the building at the corner in- dicated by the Mayor was selected as a new home for the organization.
 T. G. Hewlett the president of the Ala bama club. when shown Mayor Ward s letter last night, made this statement;
 Tn as much as report has reached Mayor Ward that gambling house is running at Twenty-first street and Fifth avenue. it is of course the duty of the Mayor to take notice of the rumor, and, I for one, as the president of the Ala bama club. heartily commend the Mayor for the course he Is pursuing.
 If the Mayor finds that there Is any truth in the report that has come to him, l hope he will swear out warrant on his information and belief, present the whole subject to the consideration of the grand jury and demand from that body a careful and complete investigation.
 'As ths president of the Alabama club. I wish to say that the club will welcome the fullest possible investigation"

Tt Is not too much to say that flnan- elers look to the south as the best place Tor investments nowadays. If I were a young man I would settle in the south and devote my efforts to the develop ment Of the country, knowing as l would that Intelligence, energy and thrift would reap here tho largest rewards possible In America. l think this feeling is strong at the north, and I say to many young men whom I meet, Go south, precisely as Horace Greeley three score years ago bade them Go west l have the utmost faith in the progress and prosperity or the southern country and in the virtue and patriotism of the southern people
 Since coming to Alabama on this trip have had occasion to meet and mingle with representative southern men, and hope you will pardon me when l say that I have been refreshed and strength ened by the insight into their character that the experience has given me. While in Montgomery I met Governor Jelks. whose successful administration of the affairs of your state has evoked national commendation, and whose courtesy and graciousness are almost benediction to every one who meets him. While was in Montgomery he showed me every pos- sible attention. While at the capital met also Judge Thomas G. Jones, of whom I had often heard and whom for many years I had desired to know. Though I am a lifelong republican, l feel that President Roosevelt or any other President makes no mistake when he appoints to high administrative or judicial position men like Judge Jones Like Governor Jelks, Judge Jones was exceedingly courteous to me while l was in Montgomery, as indeed was every one whom I had the pleasure of meeting there.
 q see," added MT Nixon, that Ala bama is seeking immigrants. Be sure that you get the immigrant from North ern and Western Europe. The negro has his shortcomings. but he Is more available for your purposes than the Slavic or the Iberic peoples can be-

 PRAISES BIRMINGHAM
Veteran Chicago Editor Says Alabama Offers Best Opporu- mites for lnveStment-Coa Lands are States Best As Set-A Word About Governor JekS and Judge
 Thomas C. Jones and Immigration.

William Penn Nixon, the former editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean and one of the most distinguished citizens of the Windy City, talked Interestingly last night at the Hlllman of the opportunities offered by the south, and especially by Alabama, for the investment of capital
 MT. Nixon Is in Birmingham on busl- ness, and is the guest while here of his friend. William H. Skaggs, who was for merly of TalIadega and is now resident of Chicago. MT. Nixon will remain in Birmingham several days, looking over the industrial field
 You have most interesting city," said MT. Nixon last night at the Hillman, in speaking to a company of Birmingham men-"a busy, virile and progressive city.
 T have often said in the last thirty years that If the Birmingham district does not become one of the wealthiest sections of the country 1t will be the fault of the people and not of the place. Naturally, you have here wealth so enor- nous that It's amount cannot be approx imately estimated. It Is encouraging to note that Birmingham's industrial devel- opment is being carried forward rapidly, but 1t is no discredit to the city to add that your present prosperous condition Is only a faint suggestion of what is to be. Unless I am greatly mistaken money for investment purposes will pour into Alabama and make the mineral belt one of the richest sections in the union.
 "Alabama's coal lands alone form the basis of enormous wealth There are vir- gin coal lands in many portions of the state, lands that are yet untouched and that need only a little money to put them into operation and pay dividends on the capital invested. In order to un- derstand what a prize Alabama holds in her grasp, we need only to look at the enormous wealth produced in the coal regions of West Virginia and Pennsyl- vania. Many who invested their money in coal properties in those states are to- day mlllionaires. Alabama's natural re- sources excel those of West Virginia or Pennsylvania.

B. M. ALLEN TALKS OF
 HIS EUROPEAN TRIP

New York and London and Paris are all very well in their way, but Birming- hams the place."
 That is what B. M. Allen, the criminal lawyer, said last night at the Southern club when he returned from a three months vacation spent in New York, England and on the European continent.
 ''Tell me- said he, 'how's everything What's the news? Birmingham seems to be on the boom, doesn't it? Yes, I m glad to get back home" he continued. though I highly enjoyed my vacation. l went to Buffalo, where I attended the meet Ing of the Elks, and proceeded thence to New York, where I spent three weeks. Afterward I took ship for Southampton and settled down for a fortnight in London, making excursions to interest ing points nearby. Later I went over to Paris where I passed three or four days, sailing from there on the Kaiser Wilhelm II, and getting into New York September 15. after stopping at Cherbourg and Southampton. Aboardship on the home trip were many notable persons includ- ing the Duchess of Marlborough, MT. Henry c. Prick. the Pittsburg millionaire, F. Augustus Heirty. the Montana cop per king, and Stephen B. EllSins. Jr.
 ''what impressed me most while in England was the great interest manifest ed by the British in all things American. They unquestionably appreciate the greatness of this country. Recognizing that we lead the world in manufactures that in statecraft we have recently taken a most commanding position. President Roosevelt's name in England and on the continent was on everyone's lips and words of commendation of him were often heard. Just as we were leaving Cher bourg news came that peace had been declared and everyone was highly grat- flied by the intelligence"
