 Tha Commercial Club at its annual
 meeting last night for the election of
 directors transacted other and even more important business. principal
 among which was taking the initiative
 in a movement to have Mobile County
 appropriate s25.000 year for Tour
 years for the improvement of Mobile
 harbor and the creation of a special
 committee of influential men to per
 suade J. Howard Wilson, principal
 owner of the street railway service, that he was entirely wrong in his re-
 cent statement that 1t would not pay
 to run owl carl for the benefit of a few newspaper men and lot of bums Harry HartwelI made the initial mo- tion. seconded by w. F. Tebbetts. that
 the club ask the Legislature to permit
 and direct the County Revenue Board
 to make the harbor appropriation sug- gested.
 Judge Semmes questioned the consti- tutionality of such law, and it was
 decided to petition the Legislature to
 enact such a law if constitutional Mir
 Norville will introduce the bill. Coun- ty Treasurer Stone suggested special
 tax to protect the other demands on County funds.
 MT Tebbetts Is understood to be a candidate for President and there had been some talk of J. Howard Wilson. Mir. Tebbetts's, street car suggestion is therefore regarded today as doubly eff fective for him and against MT. Will son.
 The outcome of Mir Tebbett's motion last night was the appointment of the following committee to confer with Mir. Wilson, who is entirely within his fran chise rights excepting. perhaps, the non- operation of cars on some lines be- fore a. Tn.. on Sundays: W. F Teb- l betts, E9win Craighead.

 Dnggan, George Feayn and P. Bestor Robertson. Albert Bloch called attention to the Odd Fellows efforts to secure the building of a $100,000 Odd Fellows Home here, and Mir. Bloch, Judge O. J. Semmes and A. H. Spira were ap- pointed to cooperate with the Odd Eel lows. When 1t came to the selection of di- rectors, Harry Hartwell, W. K. P. Wilson and Judge J. F. Afford were appointed a nominating committee with instructions not to let false modesty prevent them from nominating any or all of themselves. They reported the following list. which was endorsed by exclamation: Max Hamburger, Jr., w, F. Tebbetts, J. D. Bloch H. H. Wefel Jr., James Gibboney. A. s. Lyons John Craft, Erwin CraiRhead.
