VULCAN MAY WORK
IN HARNESS AGAIN
May Do Duty At The James
town Exposition
RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED
Special Committee of Commercial Club
Will Recommend That the Iron
Statue Be Sent to
jamestown.
RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED

Vulcan, the iron man, may be sent to
the jamestown exposition next year to
represent the mineral and industrial in
terets of the Birmingham district.
This will be the recommendation of the
special committee of the Commercial club
appointed some time ago to recommend
the final disposition OF the statue.
This committee, of which j. w. Nc
Queen is chairman, held a meeting at
the club rooms yesterday afternoon, and
there was quite an interesting discussion
of the past, present and future history
of this prominent character of the Bir-
mingham district.
. In a short, witty address the Rev. J.
w. Stagg declared that Vulcan was the
worst treated man in the world and re-
ceives fresh abuses every time he was
mentioned. Attempt to move him to a
new location and you mutilate his body"
declared DR.. Stage you break an arm
or leg or twist a shoulder out of shape"
w. w. Crawford had just offered a
resolution that Vulcan be allowed to re-
main at the state fair grounds as an
exhibit, but it was for the Commercial
club to say. DR.. Stage was arguing in
favor of Vulcan being returned and
erected on Red mountain. He contended
that the present location of Vulcan is
unsightly and out of place. that his sur
roundings are such as to detract ma
terally from his artistic symmetry. DIR.
Stage contended that Red mountain is
the only practical location for the cree
ton of the statue. When his attention
was called to the fact that only about
$4,000 remained in the bank to the credit
of the Vulcan fund and that the statue
could hardly be erected for that amount,
he said that he was no contractor but
he would take the job for that amount
and put up the statue in good shape
j. A. VanIoose offered substitute
resolution to the effect that Vulcan be
allowed to remain where he is for the
present, and that the secretary of the
Commercial club correspond with the
secretary of the jamestown exposition re-
garding the proposition for having him
erected at that place next year to repre-
sent Birmingham as he did at st. Louis.
Mr.. VanHoose contended that Vulcan was
built for advertising purposes and that
he should be used as an advertisement.
He said that the Birmingham district
should do something in the way of an
exhibit at jamestown and that Vulcan
offered the best opportunity. lie said that
the $4,000 in the bank to the credit of the
Vulvan fund would form a nucleus at
least for a creditable exhibit at James
town.
On vote of the members present the
VanHoose substitute resolution was adopt
ed unanimously.
Those present at the meeting of the
committee were: ]. w. Mcqueen, chair
man; Sterling A. Wood, Culpepper Exum,
w. w. Crawford. r. NJ. Jackson, the
Rev. j. w. Stage. w. ID. Nesbitt, J. A.
VanIIoose and j. B. Babb.

Very Active
OPEN LETTER is ISSUED

Explains Scope of Proposed Less-
lation-Gives Some interest
ing Facts and Figures.
OPEN LETTER is ISSUED

One Of the most important questions to
come before the next session of the legis-
latre will be that of local option This
was one of the strong issues of the re-
cent political campaign in the state and
it is said that a majority of the repre-
sentatives-elect in both the House and
Senate are pledged to the passage of a
local option measure.
Behind the movement is the Anti-Saloon
League of Alabama, which has made
an active and systematic campaign and
is still busy with the work of perfectng
suitable bill and paving the way for
the proposed legislation and the enforce
ment of the law when it is adopted.
The Anti-Saloon league will not cease
its work when the law has been passed
nor even when all the counties of the
state have been carried for prohibition, if
that is possible, but will continue its en-
ergies in seeing that the prohibition laws
are strictly enforced. At least this is
the present plans of those Interested in
he movement.
TIL bill to be introduced at the next
session of the legislature has been pre-
pared and is now in the hands of premi-
nent attorneys who will pass carefully
on it's constitutionality item by item.
The officers of the league are taking
every precaution to have the bill in proper
shape before it is submitted for pas
sage.
State Secretary Brooks Lawrence of
the Anti-Saloon league has addressed the
following open letter to the friends of
plains just what will be asked for in the

Officer A d. Brown, witness for the
defense, testified that the defendant,
whom he said was a STRONG Higdon
man, got in a heated discussion with
Tom Mcdonald, WHOM the witness de-
clared was a strong Stiles man. He
did not see the blows passed, but swore
that he heard some cursing and swearing.
II. H. Elliot testified that he saw Brown
some time prior to the difficulty, and that
he was not the slightest intoxicated. He
testified that Brown introduced him to
Col. e. L. Higdon, sheriff-elect, who was
evidently on the ground.
Capt J. B. Morson, who had charge of
the police at the fair grounds, testified
that prior to dinner he saw Brown and

He declared that Brown was then sober.

out the fact that Brown at the time was
