AS NEVER BEFORE
Visitor Says Birmingham Is All Right,
But Will Never Be Able to Catch

81 believe that more progress has been
made in New Orleans In the past two
years than in the ten years previous
to that" said D. D. Curran, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the New
Orleans and Northeastern, who is in
Birmingham to attend the Tutwiler-An-
derson wedding.
1.-THE most important matters that are
taking place in New Orleans now are
the completion of the sanitary sewer
system the street paving in progress
and the amount of money being spent
in new buildings. There is large amount
being put into new buildings and the
buildings are handsome ones.
Il cannot agree with the statement
of friend of mine that New Orleans
has to hustle to keep Birmingham from
catching her, but Birmingham is pro-
crossing wonderfully all the time and
will be a big city. She is still young
and her resources are just being de-
veloped.

O'BRIEN To MAKE
RACE FOR MAYOR
Formal Announcement of Can
didacy Given Out Yesterday
WAND SILENT AS SPHINX
There Seems to Be Little Doubt, How
ever But What the Fight Will Be
Made Between These
Two Men.

Capt Frank p. O'Brien. who has been
citizen of Birmingham since the city
first donned it's swaddling clothes, who
was a member of the first City Council
who has been sheriff of the county. and
several times representative in the state
legislature, has made formal announce
ment of his candidacy for the office of
Mayor
Inasmuch as the probability of CAPTAIN
O'Bron's announcing for the office has
all along been great. his positive stare
ment caused no surprise. II Is generaily
conceded that the candidate has strong
following, and that he will lead stronS
fight for the office he seeks
Mayor Ward, 1t Is generally conceded
will ask for endorsement. While he was
not ready yesterday to make an an-
! nouncement, when the formal statement
does come forth. there will be no sur
prise.
In other words, 1t is now believed that
the mayoralty race will be between May
or Ward and Captain o Brien. A canvass
yesterday brought out the fact that cur
rent belief is that there will be no other
candidate.
Captain O'Brien, in his formal card,
stands for an increased police force. lie
states his belief in the theory of munich
pal ownership. He desires to see the civil
service regulation inaugurated In the
police force. He declares that If elected,
he will take the oath of office untram-
af7-r
person, faction or party.
1t is believed that Mayor Ward will
stand upon a platform supported by The
policy of his administration. 1t is be-
lieved that his formal announcement will
ask the people to endorse his policy in
the restraint and regulation of the liquor
traffic, and the general and stern en-
forcement of the law.
Yesterday, Mayor Ward seen by a rep
resentative of The Age-Herald. was re-
ticent He did not say that he would
make the race, nor did he say he would
not. He preferred not to discuss the
matter. Concerning the announcement
and platform of Captain o Brien he had
no comment to make.
1t is generally conceded in municipal
political circles, that the present city Of
ficlals will make the formal race for their
respective positions on the open ticket.
Treasurer Eustis authorized the state
ment that he was a candidate. and En-
glneer Kendrick alone has withheld a
positive statement Around the city hall
however, the probability Of his not max
ing the race is no longer discussed.
SO far, opposition to none of the pres
ent officials is announced, and while ru-
mored candidates are mentioned, it Is
generally believed that several of those
holding the reins now will be nominated
without a dissenting vote.

TWO MEN HOLDING
THE SAME OFFICE
WALKER CLAIMS CUTLlFFE is
NOT LEGALLY A MEMBER OF
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
FIGHT COMES UP THURSDAY.

Is r. w. Walker or W. H. Cutliffe
ecutive committee representing the Third
ward?
This is a question which will probably
be decided Thursday night, when the
committee is scheduled to come together.
Mr.. Walker was elected by the people
as committeeman from the Third ward,
and it is remembered that at the last
meeting of the committee his proxy was
not allowed, and his successor in the
person of Mr.. Cutliffe was chosen. Mr..
Walker was absent at the time.
Now, Mr.. Walker has returned to Bir-
mingham, and states that he is entitled
TO his seat. He states that he still re-
tains his citizenship and Identification
with the city. He states that he is reg
istered voter and that he has never re-
signed his membership in the commit
tee.
At the first meeting of the committee,
w, B. Copeland. city auditor, held Mr..
Walkers proxy, just as John Donelson
held that of John r. Evans. The proxy
of Mr. Walker was not allowed, and a
vacancy having been declared in the
Third ward. Mr.. Cutliffe was elected by
the members of the committee to fill that
vacancy.
Now, the question Is, Should Mr.. Wal
ker or Mr. Cutliffe retain his member
ship in the committee, and, technically,
If Mr.. Walker is the eligible member. are
those matters on which Mr. Cutliffe
voted. legally binding?'
The committee will meet again Thurs
day evening in the city hall. At the
meeting the action of the sub-commit-
tee which was taken last Friday evening,
will be reported. 1t is currently believed
that the committee will not concur in
the report of the sub-cowmittee in its
entirety 1t is probable that some of
the offices which the subcommittee rec
ommends should be filled by popular
vote, will be stricken off.
City electrician and the meat and milk
inspector are among the officers which
the committee will probably leave for
the Mayor and aldermen to elect
1t is learned that the assessment plan
to be recommended by the committee
will be favorably received. BY this plan
the office and not the candidate is taxed

ALDERMEN IN MEMPHIS.
Go to Get Ideas for Building Crematory
In Birmingham.

The police and sanitation committee, at
the head of which is Alderman C. C.
Heidi, visited Memphis yesterday for the
purpose of investigating the crematory of
that city With the committee went Street
Commissioner McCartin.
Birmingham is preparing to construct a
crematory of its own. AS 1t is now, there
is no way in which to destroy the trash
and garbage removed from the streets.
1t Is estimated that the construction OF
a first class crematory will cost the city
something in the neighborhood of $4,000.

FORSAKE ATLANTA
FOR BIRMINGHAM
other Cities of the South Are Now
Comparing Themselves With Bir-
mingham Instead of Gate City.

do you notice that no city in the
south claims to be as big as Atlanta
ncw?' asked Maj. Frank Y. Anderson
yesterday afternoon. while talking to two
friends. whenever a city wants to lay
claim to greatness, it claims to be as
big as Birmingham which is sure
sign that Birmingham is growing more
important every day-that she Is the city
by which the standards in the south are
set.
Several years ago everything in the
south was compared to Atlanta, but Biz
mingham is now getting all the compari-
sons Shreveport is now trying to COM
pare herself to Birmingham, instead Of
Atlanta; as she would have done two
or three years ago.
''When a city is made the basis of COM
parsons it Is a good sign that she is the
biggest city in that part of the country"
holding company will make the associa-
ton the largest and most powerful busi-
ness corporation in the world, directly
affecting more people and more interests
than any other concern on EARTH and the
probability of locating the general head
quarters of the new corporation at Biz
mingham is a matter that should at once
engage the attention of every business
interest in the city.
The matter of deciding the location of
the permanent headquarters is now with
President Jordan and the members O.
the executive committee, and the CAM
paign for securing the enterprise should
at once be instituted
Impressed With Birmingham.
1t is well known that President Jordan
and the other officers of the association
are favorably impressed with Birming-
ham and are willing to consider the
claims of this city for the location of
head offices, and it is believed that Bill
minghams chances are more than prom
Using If the necessary work is done at
once.
The value of having the head offices
of such an immense business enterprise
whose interests cover the'entire south and
affect every business interest of the wor.S
is nat debatable and every citizen of Biz
mingham will readily recognize the I'M
portance of prompt action in the mat
ter.
The spirit of the officers and members
who attended the recent convention from
every section of the south is proof of
the fact that they mean business, and
that the plans of the association are
we'll grounded and will be pushed to sue

south are behind the movement and are
spending time and money to bring sue

what has been done was without that
financial and moral support that is prom
ised for the future

BUSINESS SUFFERS
FROM HIGH WATER

THE high water at Cincinnati is doing
a great deal of harm" said General Man

that the water was over Go feet above
low water mark. We have had to aban-
don one of our freight houses in Cincin-

handled from the other two.
''All of our northern connections have
issued an embargo. They are unable to
handle the business on account of the
high water, and we are practically the
only road in Chattanooga which is in
good shape. It is a pretty bad state of
affairs"
