support in the carrying out Of this great
enterprise, regardless of whether the pro.
posed memorial building shall be located In
Westinghouse elsewhere
Believing, however, that our capital city,
which Is coming more and more to be

culiar advantages as the worlds Christian
Endeavor headquarters we extend cordial

There never was a dog more glad. He
jumped and frolicked, despite the fact that
he was lean for the want of nourishment.
Selling my trouser legs, he dragged me in
the direction of the old farm. He would
run a short distance toward the farm ana

When the Union hymn, Jesus. l Have
Promised" had been sung by the congre-
cation, President Metcalf presented Mr..
Shaw who made rafting enthusiastic
speech arousing the enthusiasm of the
throng Of Endeavorers to high pitch. He
started off by saying that he did not want
to see any sour faces, but wanted al TO De

made more like political convention than

Quarter-Century Fund.
President Metcalf referred briefly to the
..oaarter-eeneury memorial fund.- and
asked that the societies increase their con-
tributions Some one suggested that every
member throughout the world be asked to
contribute cents q week for a year to the
proiect and that In this way 100000
might be raised for the purpose.
Mr. Shaw rose to his feet and said that
if there were any newspaper reporters in
the auditorium he hoped they would not
mention that $10,000.000.
when was in Baltimore last summer,
he said by way of explanation, some
thing was said about raising 100000 for
memorial fund.- and then some people
wanted to know what lot of officers of a
Christian organization were going to do
with that much money anyhow. I'll be
glad if we get quarter of million. II
the newspapers tomorrow mention that

DR. STAGG WILL INVITE
 THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The general assembly of the Presbyter- Ian church (southerm will be invited to hold it's next annual session in Birming- ham. The invitation will be presented at the meeting which will be held in Green vile, S. C.. this week by the Rev. Dr. J. w Stagg. pastor of the First Presby- terian church.
 Dr. Stagg. who is one of the commits sioners from the North Alabama presby- tery, will leave Birmingham for Green vile tomorrow, and he will go well loaded with literature about Birmingham and the superior advantages offered by this city for such gathering.
 The general assembly brings together about 300 commissioners representing the best thought in the Presbyterian church, and in addition to that there are usually several hundred visitors who come to attend the sessions. The body should bring at least 75O people to Birmingham for several days.
 In speaking of the matter yesterday Dr. Stagg said
 'The basis of representation to the gen eral assembly is two commissioners for every forty-seven ministers, and one com missioner for every fraction of that num- Der of ministers. On that basis Alabama

GRAND JUROR O'NEAL
 FAILED TO APPEAR
INVESTIGATION OF HEWLETT HAYNES RENCOUNTER WAS CONTINUED BY THE COURT OF FICIALS UNTIL THIS MORNING.

The grand jury of Jefferson county did not proceed yesterday with the investi- sation of the rencounter in the Peerless saloon recently between Thomas G. Hew- lett and Harry Haynes. which caused the death of Hewlett and John T. Shu- gart, on account of the absence of Juror Charles O'Neil. The sheriff reported he had been unable to find Mr ONeal and serve a notice of the calling of a special sesison of the grand jury to investigate the shooting. It is said that the juror Is off on a vacation.
 After a. consultation. Judge Samuel l.. Weaver and Judge M. M. Baldwin of the criminal court and Solicitor Harring- ton P. Hefiin decided that the best plan would be to continue the investigation until this morning at o'clock
 If Juror O'Neal does not report this morning it is probable that the other fourteen members of the grand jury will proceed with the investigation.
 The preliminary trial of Haynes on the charge of taking the life of Hewlett is set for trial tomorrow afternoon at , o'clock before Judge II. B. Abernathy of the second division of the inferior court of Birmingham.

is entitled to six commissioners. My Col league from the North Alabama presby- tery is the. Rev. E. D. McDougall of Flor ence.
 There are several important matters to come up at this meeting of the general assembly. Among other things will be the discussion and probable action on the plans for federation and organic union. These refer to our relations with the gen eral assembly of the church in the north. The former plan, that of federation, pro Yides that we will make certain arrange ments, we to do certain things and the northern assembly to do certain things, but for each to maintain it's autonomy. The organic union Is for complete af- filiation of the two bodies.
 Tt Is probable that the Rev. William Caldwell of Fort Worth will be given a trial. The presbytery in Texas has pre- ferred charges against him, charging that he has radical views on the inspiration of the scriptures.
 Beyond those matters I do not believe that there is anything of great impor- tance. l do not think that the matter of a change in the creed will come up at this session of the assembly, but of course some one may bring it up."
