TRADES CONNCIL
 HOLDS MEETING
ATTENDANCE SMALL BUT MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED-TELE- GRAPH OPERATORS ARE DETER MINED TO STAND FIRM.

The attendance at the regular meeting of the Trades Council was not equal to the usual number on account of the very wet day. Enough members were pres ent to constitute quorum, and the trans" action of business was taken up.
 Owing to the absence of President James E. Drake, who is attending the Interna- tional Convention of Machinists at St. Louis, the chair was taken by Delegate Andy Marx; John A. Dearing, treasurer, and Henry c. West, secretary, were at their desks.
 Several bills were presented and after consideration were ordered paid. The col lection of dues brought in a tidy sum.
 Among the matters discussed was the teegraphers' strike, in which 1t was stat ed that the operators were determined to hold their ground to the finish. Many of the operators were reported as having secured positions in other lines of pusi- ness at wages equally as good as they were formerly earning.
 Interesting talks were made on the pros poets of unionism, which were shown to be brighter than ever.

CITIZENS MOVED IN TOTAL DARKNESS Birmingham Fantastic With Shadows and Candles SERMONS WITHOUT LIGHT Congregations Sing Familiar Hymns, or Sat Mute and Awed-Prisoner
 in Uncanny Chorus at
 Jalls.
SERMONS WITHOUT LIGHT

On account of some defect in the light ing apparatus of the Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power company, twenty minutes last night the city was thrust into darkness.
 Men stood about the street. hesitatng as to which corner to turn in their prog ress, or as to which direction to take. Gaunt shadows cast themselves across the highways and pathways, and a weird and fantastic atmosphere enveloped all.
 The appearance of the city was as country village, at which the train halts in the night time. and the traveller. look ing out on the sleeping country. can tell no difference between the grocery store and the postoffice.
 Soon, however, out of a country vil- lage, Birmingham was transformed into a gigantic playhouse, as it were or q village fin fairyland, for from every store every hotel and cafe, hundreds of candles, combining their Illuminating power, made bright what was erstwhile darkness.
 
 dressed ladies seated In the restaurants of the city and ''tete-teting" with bulky companions presented an attractive ap- pearance in the glare of the candle beams. There was light chatter, the lowing of heads in polite acquiescence, and smiles, all about the failure of the lighting de- partment, and its subsequent results and effects.
 As soon as the city was darkened. the prisoners in the jais of the city, set forth in their uncanny chant. like ne- groes in camp meeting. The wardens and stevedores, on wings heeter than meditation, got candles and lamps to- gether, and not until the shadows were dispelled did the singing and screeching subside.
 Ministers talked to their fioclls in total darkness. It was an unusual experience. But nothing daunted, with neither a halt nor flaw the sermons were continued and the congregation sat meek and silent. as If the sudden darkness had imbued them with awe. Without an organ. the congregation united in familiar hymns and while still darkness reigned. the benediction in one church was admin istered.N
 The lights were off and on for an hour The street cars, getting their cur rent from a separate circuit continued their passage throughout the city. Bus mess, otherwise, was considera bly, ham pered.

DRUMMER PROVES
 A GOOD SAMARITAN
THEN GETS OUT OF THE WAY QUICK FOR FEAR SOMEONE MAY HAVE SEEN HIM IN HIS ACT OF MERCY.

Elected from her house by her own kth and kin on the Lords day, while the furies of the first equnoxia1 gale of ths season broke over her head. she bravely home, three miles away Her 3-weeKs-o1d baby she carried in her arms and three no umbrella to keep off the rain, and her faded green wrapper was wrnging wet, while the three small bundles of humanity looked like three little patches of laundry in tub
 Up First avenue they almost literally swan, no idea of stopping under shelter entering their mind. The rain was com ing down In torrents, and the mute appeal they presented gave every heart a wrench It was too much for one man, drum mer on his way to the passenger station. He stopped them and persuaded rer so step into the vestihule af a store, in which he was standing He began questioning her anG then she told in language that bore no relation 10 rhetoric but which had the ring of honesty to II, how her husband had been 2 rolling min man and how he had kept her In plenty until his death in July. Only very little was left to her after she lad paid the burial expenses. and the haby-a girl came about month after his death Since the husbands death the wife and chil- dren lived with the deeeased's parents, who had no other children and who were fairly well fixed. But since her money had given out she and her children had been regarded as intruders. and put out of the house in the rain without even money enough to pay her earfare to the AVondale cotton mills. where her own parents live. The haby,s clothes were also soaked. and the pale wan face and hollow eyes of the woman showed that she was suffering.
 The drummers face was rugged. but he was kind. Into his pocket went his hand out came roll of bills He turned so that no one else as he thought. could see him, hut one man saw him hand out not one bill but four or five. and each of q large denomination and give them to the woman

MAYOR WARDLANDED SAFELY IN NEW YORK
TELEGRAM ANNOUNCES SAFE TERMINATION OF OCEAN VOY- AGE-MAY REACH BIRMINGHAM TODAY OR TOMORROW.

He hath put his foot again on his na- tive land, and is probably by now on the way to Birmingham. Mayor Ward, arer several weeks travelling in Europe, Is back In America.
 The St. Paul, which was scheduled to arrive fin New York Saturday, came in on time. Mrs. Ward. the Mayors mother, received a telegram late Saturday night announcing his safe arrival but 1t did not state when he would reach BrmIng- ham.
 Much depends upon the Mayor on his return. His action on several public questions will be watched with eagerness by all parties. Whether he will champion prohibition or not Is live issue How he will receive the action of the City Council during his absence is causing much speculation.
 The Mayor was met In New York by B. A. Pepperman, his private secretary. who will inform him of doings since he left, and he will probably reach Birming- ham today.

FALLING TROLLEY
 INJURED ANKLE
MISS ZENIA PlNYAN OF BLOUNT- WILLIE ENCOUNTERS UNUSUAL AND PAINFUL ACCIDENT-TRoL. LEY AND BASE FALL.

Yesterday afternoon. about o'clock, Miss zenia Pinyan of Blountsville, suf- rered a painful accident on First avenue and Nineteenth street from rather an unusual source.
 While in company with W. D. Pascal she was attempting to cross the street, the trolley of street car fell from the wire, and the broken attachment, to- gether with its heavy base, struck the young lady on the ankle, bearing her to the ground.
 Miss Pinyan was assisted to the hotel at which she was registered and physi- clans summoned. MT. Pascal stated last night that it was his impression that the hone was not broken, but that the young lady will be confined to her room for sev- eral days.
 What cansed the trolley and its base to fall from the car was not explained.

STXTEEN CHNP STUD EHS. Deputies Raid Big Game Over Store
 On Fourth Avenue.

Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien C. Brown and Deputies Courson and Dean made d raid early Sunday morning on a crap game which had evidently been in pro- gress since early in the night in room over a store on Fourth avenue, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. Six teen negroes were caught busily rolling dice, and. completely hemmed by the dep uties, all surrendered.
 The raid was an unusual one, as nl-- jority of the gamblers caught are ne- groes who are more or less well to do here After being arrested the negroes were placed in the basement of the county iail, and had not been there more than ten minutes before they had started an- other healthy game. This second game, however, was not interrupted by the of fcers of the law.

Saloon Must Go.

So we don't expect my state of Geor- ga, nor your state of Alabama. my city of Atlanta, nor your city of Birmingham, to go the way of Tyre and Siddon, Rome, Carthage and the dozens of cities now buried in history.
 Since Christ, the patron of democrats. has come all our governmental institu- tions, all ou- social maxims, are directed on his teachings, ard the heart of our society cries out that the greatest enemy and the most destructive force of all must go.
 q do ribt blame the barkeeper. I have not come here to revile him, rather I am sorry for him.
 'I go my brother there in the ditch, drunken and ruined, the disgrace of two families. and ask: Why are you here?' And he says Because the saloon Is there
 And I go over there to the saloon and say: Why are you here?' and 1t replies: Because the aw-making power, the City Council, says I am all right and I may stay here. There is the root of the evil. They are the men who say We don't associate with the saloon men, we have no connection with them. only just officially, I strongly suspect that the whole busi- nes will go to hell, officially, some time.
 I'm sorry for the barkeeper. These church-goers tell them it's all right. Busi- ness men say it would kill the town if they were taken away Why don't these business men take the saloon keepers wives into their families? If its a fact that you can't run the town without these men, why their wives ought to be honored! They ought to be ranked with

German Americans, thousand or more strong, have captured Birmingham. They come to attend the Saengerfest of the southern district of tie North American Saengerbund. one of the oldest and most honored organizations in this country, and right cordially are they welcomed. The saengerfest is a notable event.
 Every train yesterday brought visitors, some of them natives of the Fatherland, but more of them descendants of worthy Teutons who emigrated to Americas s hos pitale shores a half century ago. Maenner- chors from Atlanta. Chattanooga and Memphis are here and other singing so- cities will arrive today. Many ladies are among the visitors.
 The Saenserfest programme was to have been opened with a tallyho ride yesterday afternoon at o'clock but owing to the rain that feature was cancelled.
 The next feature announced on the pro- gramme was the "Commers. great social affair, at Concordla hall and garden and it came off most delightfully."-.
 After the different delegations had ar rived at Concordia at o'clock for the iiiSA iill0i illfll stsSlOll II NdS Nill ullll- culty that seat could be found at one of the tables. The hall has seating capacity of 950. but conservative esti- mate of those who attended the threaten ing weather notwithstanding, is more than 6oo.
 As the inspiring chorus. "The Father land, rose from the deep voices of the men, and the higher voices of the ladies of the assembly, the Teutonic spirit knew no bounds Each guest rose from his seat and with uplfted hands joined Iii the singing. Many of those present had not seen the Fatherland for years while other had left Germany only compara- lively short time ago. Voices of every compass aided in ;he swing of the tune that is as dear to the heart of the Ger man as the Marsallase Is to French man.
 The spirit of good fellowship and cor diality peculiar to the "commers" marked each stage of the evening. Though marred by an absence of electric :lgnt for the space of half an hour, no abate- ment of the spirit of the occasion was mo- tioeable, the incident seeming oniy to give added zest to the affair.
 Many songs were sung by different clubs, and a number of short addresses were made. The menu spread before the guests was varied and toothsome. The presence of large number of ladies auG ed color and grace to the scene
 The meeting was called to order snort ly after o'clock by A. Dietz. Arter u few short pithy remarks, he introduced as master of ceremonies l.. G. Fritz or Memphis. MT. Fritz made an address to the members and rendered an original poem, dedi>t.ted to this the third southern saengerfest. The burden of the sonnet, adapted from Goethe and Schiller, was:
 Where song exists, rest thee
 Bad people only have no songs."
 song, welcoming the visitorA to the city, was rendered by the members of the Birmingham maennerchor, and was re- ceived with much applause. Among other vocal selections was that by Ernest Maehl of this city to the ladies attend ing The Memphis Maennerchor, in an original song, dedicated to the saengerfest in Brmingham the Atlanta Turn-Vereln --~~~-~~~-~---~-----

The Race Question.

our fathers had too much sense to sell whisky to the negro. The government will not allow whisky to be sold to the Indians. Rum and liquor has already settled the Indian race problem, and If you don't quit selling bust head liquor to the negroes 1t will settle another.
 "The sober negro will go on stealing chickens, but he hasn't got enough nerve to commit a felony. Such liquor as you In Birmingham sell the negro would sup ply a rabbit with enough nerve to walk up and spit in a bull dogs face
 There's a world of difference between the point of view tf a man who lives on the principal streets of Birmingham and the view point of the country man. The one has lights and locks, brick walls and telephones to protect his wife, while there's the farmer out there, the fruit Of whose toll has been ta-.en away by the law for 100 years, without anything to protect his wife and children.
 "Wil you, whose families are protected, multiply the peril and deny the right to an unterrified existence to the woman anI the father In tse country?
 When you go out or here may you thank the Lord that you are alive, thank the Lord that you are white, thank the Lord that you are an Alabamian and an American!"

 Church-Goers Responsible.
 'I have nothing to say to the whisky men. but l say you voters, you church. goers. who have been electing these men to hold the reins of legislatlon are re- sponslble for every crimnal. for every life that has been taken IS a result of the legalized sale of liquor.
 T wouldn't issue fire insurance on their lives In the next world nor on the church. goers who've got this town full of bar rooms all because they've got board got buildings rented to 'em, and banks with their big deposits in 'em.
 Now, I want you to take this thought carry it home, tote water to 1t and keep 1t green No mater what may be said by the defendants of the liquor traffic, the legalized sale of liquor don't exist in any city in America except by graft.
 Here you are in Birmingham founded upon all the mineral resources of the centuries, the very peer of the south, de- pendent upon 120 barrooms. Why. If my son in the third grade should use such an argument as that my soul should not spare for his crime"
 The speaker then took up the argu- ment that prohibition would not prohibit, and followed that with the hope that the child of the next generations will look back upon the barrooms with the same feelings as we read of the dark doings of our forefathers.
 In glowing terms he painted the great record of consecrated lives upon which he white race can base its superiority, and then pointed out what an awful tragedy" it would be when one white man so forgets his duty to posterty that he would base his fight against prohibition on a financial '~-r.
