CHOICE PROPERTY
UP At AUCTION
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL MUST
YIELD S5OO,oOO
Local Syndicate's Offer of Half Mil
lion Is in Writing-Suburban
Towns Want the
School

Now that Governor Gillett has signed
the bill authorizing the auction sale of
the Los Angeles State Normal school
property south of Fifth street and
west of Grand avenue renewed interest
is awakened in the final disposition of
the buildings and the irregular shaped
lot. Important interests are connect
ed with improvements planned for that
particular part of the city following
the removal of the school structure
Before the legislature assembled
Mines & Parish, representing a Los
Angeles syndicate, made an offer of
$5O0,OOO for the property. The bill as
passed provides that the property may
be sold at a figure not less than $780,
000. Possibly when the property is put
UP at auction more than $500,000 will
be offered, but in the light of appraise-
ments made last year, it is believed
by the parties directly interested that
the 100000 syndicate will be the high
est bidder.

GREATER CAPACITY
FOR ICE FACTORY
VARIOUS PLANTS HAVE BEEN IN
CREASED BY 100 TONS A DAY.
INCREASE TO MEET NEEDS OF
GROWING CITY.

The Birmingham ice factory has just
completed improvements which cost more
than 100000 and which practically dou-
bled the capacity of the various plants
in Birmingham and the suburban towns.
The improvements are intended to meet
the increased demands incident to the
growth of Birmingham.
The capacity of the Birmingham plant
of the company was increased from 12o
tons per day to 175 TONS which it is esti-
mated will meet the needs of the city and
allow some extra tonnage every day for
storage in case of an accident. The Ems
ley plants capacity was more than
doubled. 1t now has capacity Of 90
tons per day as against its former ca
pacity of 30 tons.
The Bessemer plant will manufacture
40 tons per day now, whereas in the past
it would only make % tons. All the i'm
provements make a total increase of 100
tons per day.
At the Avondale plant storage house
with capacity of 1000 tons has been
erected, and this is being filled with ice.
The Avondale plant has capacity Of 80
tons per day, which is in excess of the
demand during the winter and the excess
is packed away for summer use, giving
10 tons for 100 days or 20 tons for so days
from storage.

REPORTS ARE MADE
BY PRESBYTER|ANS
Presbytery Assemblies at Hart
SeIIe Tomorrow
PLANS FOR THE ASSEMBLY
Delegates Will Number About Three
Hundred, and They VIII Come
From Every State in
the South.
PLANS FOR THE ASSEMBLY

In all the Presbyterian churches yes
terday the elders and deacons made their
annual reports to the congregations,
showing the standing in financial mat
ters for the fiscal year ending April l.
In most of the Birmingham churches
these reports were very encouraging, and
showed very little debt outstanding. In
several of the churches the pledges for
the coming year were taken. and the
deacons had cause to feel confident for
the future.
These reports are the regular statistics
which will have to be submitted to Pres
bytery which meets In Hartselle tomor-
row. minister and an elder from each
church in north Alabama will leave for
the meeting place today. The spring ses-
sion is always the most important, as
overtures from the general assembly are
considered at that time, and the new
year is begun.
At the same time, all the Presbyteries
in the south will meet and go through the
same business, The Presbytery Is the
hardest working body in the church, but
the assembly is the coart of last APP
peal.
At these meetings each Presbytery will
appoint minister and elder as commits
sioners to the assembly meeting in the
First church, Birmingham, on the 10th
of next month. All of the names of these
delegates, numbering about 800 will be
in the hands OF a local arrangement COM
mittee next week, and the homes and as
sgnments Will be made Immediately to
save the confusion of the last moment.
This will be the forty-seventh annual
session of the southern church. The last
was held in Greenville, S. c., and con-
tinued eight days. The body has to re-
ceive and act on reports from all the
eighty-three Presbyteries, and the session
is usually long and arduous. Among the
schools under its direct supervisions are
the Austin Theological seminary the Ken
lucky Presbyterian Theological seminary,
the Southwestern university, the Union
Theological seminary, the Columbia Theo-
logical seminary, the General Assembly's
Home and School and several others.
The Rev. William Alexander of ClarlSs-
Vile, Tenn, is the stated clerk and
treasurer. Ruling Elder Allen G.. Hall is
the retiring moderator, who will call the
meeting to order and preside until the
election of officers.

traction at the Bijou theatre this week,
beginning tonight.
around the Clock introduces, or
rather exploits the Richie talents, and
those Of his London Comedy company
who have been a success at the theatres
throughout the country Those who
laughed over the clever antics of this
band of comedians and condolences will
find pleasure, it is said, in witnessing
"Around the Clock
The comedy is in three acts, and prob
ably the best effort of Frank Huffman,
its author around the Clock" which
was especially written to give further
scope and opportunity to the Richie Lon
don Comedy company, is in three acts and
four scenes. Billy Richie, whose inn
personation as the "gilded youth in "a
Night at a London Music Hail. won
praise from the press and public, is one
of the leading lights in the comedy. His
role has been elaborated, and he shows
further versatility in the part of an in
ebriate who seeks temporary consolation
in the flowing bowl and finds it. around
the Clock is a combination of comedy
and vaudeville, and is a novelty.

SALVATION ARMY GLAD TO BE
NOTIFIED OF ACCUMULATED
WASTE PAPER EMPLOYMENT
FURNISHED UNEMPLOYED.

The Industrial Home and second hand
store, both Of which are conducted by the
Salvation army, are now just one month
old, and with the help of the women of
Birmingham are running on a paying
basis and have bright prospects.
During the month 1870 night lodgings
have been supplied and $40 meals furnish
ed to the members of the home. In the
packing room at least an average of eight
men per day have been occupied with pre-
pairing waste paper for shipment, while
the wagon has been kept busy from morn
ing till night responding to calls all over
the city.
Whenever a housekeeper has any news
papers or magazines or old clothing
which she does not need, she telephones
the Salvation army or drops them pos
tai card, and the wagon calls Immediate
1y. Contributions of this kind cost little,
but do world of good.
Judge Feagin turned over three prison
ers to the home, one of whom cut out
drink for the whole month, and was re-
turned to his people in Tennessee. Two
men who had just served out their terms
in the county jail were given work for a
few days, until they could get on their
feet and make enough money to start
on. Envoy Thompson secured work for
one Of them with railroad, and the 9TH
err was sent to Blue Creek.
Another man who applied to the home
was very sick and the envoy sent him to

THINKS YARDS IN
BETTER CONDITION
Foreacre and Richey Have Been
Working Hard In Atlanta and
Birmingham.

w. n. Foreacre, general superintendent
of the western district of the Southern,
has been in Atlanta for nearly two weeks
working on the yards in that city to try
and clean them out M. M. Richey, man
ager OF the middle and western districts,
is in Birmingham working out the situa-
ton here.
The Birmingham yards were in very
much worse condition than the Atlanta
yards two or three weeks ago and for
that reason Mr.. Richey stayed here and
Mr.. Foreacre went to Atlanta. By work
in- on these two large terminals, Bir-
mingham and Atlanta, and getting them
cleaned up and the trains moving out of
them on time, Mr.. Richey hopes to get his
two districts in good shape within thirty
or sixty days. With as much improve
ment in the Atlanta yards and others as
there has been here. Mr.. Richey expects
that thirty days will see the Southern in
better shape in this part of the country
than for several months past

GRADE CROSSINGS
TO HAVE AN INNING
Council Committee Will lnyeS-

Council Meeting Wednesday Night

ton May 9th.
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE

Preparation for the council meeting
next Wednesday will be made this after
noon, Wien the railway committee will
get together with view to taking action
toward remedying the present grade
crossing evil.
This will be the first action taken on
the question by the board for some time,
and as all the members of the commit
tee seem to be agreed that something
must be done, the result may be far
reaching. The committee meets in re-
Spouse to a resolution introduced at the
last session of the council by Alderman
O'NeiI, calling for an investigation
1t is probable that the aldermen will
first gather informally at Parkers drug
store, and will then make a tour of the
city, view closely all the grade cross
ings, and decide upon what is necessary
for each one.
Action will probably be taken immedi-
ately with reference to the condition at
Twenty-seventh street and First avenue,
where 1t will be necessary to erect via
duct. City Engineer Kendrick has al
ready considered the proposition and will
be ready to give his opinion as to the
feasibility.
The next meeting of the board bids fair
to be short as city affairs are running
smoothly, the saloons have about ceased
to give trouble and public nuisances are
not so numerous.
All arrangements have been completed
for the election on the 9Th of May, an
Lar ~.
there is no opposition to the democratic
ticket.
Immediately after the election Alder
man Gray will submit his resignation,
and Harry Jones will probably be elected
to fill the. vacancy il his friends can pre-
vail nnon him to accent.
