HOPE ID OPEN LIBRARY
 FOR USE OF HE PEOPLE

The executive board of the Library association met last night in the library at the city hall for the pug pose of considering matters to rene,g the interest in the library movement. The most important step taken at the meeting was the adoption of a motion of the Rev. Dr. A. J. Dickinson to the effect that the Board of Education be instructed that the board of directors of the Library association are ready to proceed at once to raise not less than $500 to employ a trained librarian to straighten out the present library and to take hold of the movement for a larger collection of books
 Mayor Ward. chairman of a special committee appointed at the last meeting of the board reported that his committee had met and had decided to request the Board of Education. as the initial movement toward the establish ment of a public library. to consider the advisability of opening the present library to the general reading public under the necessary rules and regula- lions. This report was followed by 2 motion offered by pr. Dickinson that the chair appoint a committee to re- quest the Board of Education to permit the public to use the books in the library without fee or compensation. This motion was adopted. pr. Dick inson, Dr. Thomas D. Parke. and Sam uel Ullman were appointed as a com mittee to visit the Board of Educa- tion.
 It was also decided to request the Board of Education to turn over tn library at the city hall to the Library associat tion. after which they are to employ a trained librarian who win catalog all of the books in the library and put it in general good shape, and then take hold of the library movement for the association.
 Present at the meeting were Mayor Ward, Dr. A. J. Phillips. Dr. Dickinson Samuel Ullman. Maj. !. D. Elliott, ex- Governor Sims, Dr. Thomas D. Parke | and John L. Parker, all of whom are members of the executive board of the associai iipn.

A special session of the City Council was held in the council chamber at the city hall yesterday afternoon at o'clock for the purpose of considering the imme- diate annexation of Avondale. The call was issued yesterday afternoon at l o clock by President of the Council John l.. Parker When the meeting was called to order there was a bare quorum pres ent. F of the councilmen being at their desks. After quite a lot of heated dis enssion the object of the meeting was de- feated and adjournment was taken.
 Present at the special session were Pres ident Parker. Mayor Ward and Aldermen 0'Neln. Klotz. 1reener Heidt. D. R. Cope land, Cooper. Gum, Estes. Stockmar, Gregg and Hogan.
 Alderman Heidt opposed the question of considering the immediate annexation of the suburb at the outset on the ground that It was unfair to pass on an ordi- nance at a special meeting that had been
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-05-24

defeated at a regular meeting of the council arguing that 1t was not right for a handful of men to adopt ordinance that the entire council had turned down.
 Several of the aldermen presented the fact that the City Council of Avondale had already ordered an election on June 4 to allow the people of the town to vote on immediate annexation, and as the next council meeting would not come until after that date steps should be invited 70 whereby Avondale would be invited to come into Greater Birmingham, which has not been done. The question was also brought up as to whether or not the ordi- nance was permanent, which was not the case, in the opinion of quite num- ber and as a permanent ordinance re- quires a majority vote for passage the object of the meeting was defeated, as several members present opposed the con- sideration of the question.
 The meeting fell through completely, and adjournment was taken.

As soon as he could confirm this informa- lion positively MT Fish resigned his official connections with M. O. r. and is once more off the reservation. He is a great railroad man out of a job, and the villain is still pursuing him.
 With MT. John D. Rockefeller in vlr- tual control of Western Maryland and MT Hartman growing powerful in Mis- souri Pacific, the Gould family seems to be sliding further down the toboggan every day. The Gould blight on proper ties which they are identified has come to be commonly recognized as a tangible misfortune.
 Strong interests representing important investments in Gould properties have at last taken formal cognizance or the "bliehtp and are taking measures to get rid of the Gould management The pre- diction is freely made in Wall street that within five years the Gould family will be relegated into the background and stripped of active control in many quar- ters. Of special significance is the for nal announcement made in connection with the Western Maryland that the building of the proposed link between Cumberland and Pittsburg 050 miles in length) which was to complete the Gould system to the Seaboard has been aban- doned Millions upon millions have been poured into that costly Gould knot hole. Will the Western Pacific be as costly and as ugly loss?
 Reports of improving business through cut the country are at last taking on more real substance They contain larger percentage of aetuality than for merly, and afford more genuine basis for the hope and sunshine so copiously in- dulged in by the Faith Cure league. The demoralzation in the pig iron mar ket seems to have climaxed and the foundations of that division of the trade are hardening Constructive industries in various lines show signs of desire to resume action. The crop outlook Is all that could be desired and the back ground feeling is appreciably better. Rail- road earnings show almost no improve n:ent, but increased earnings in that quarters can hardly be looked for in the Beginning of resumption of good times. That will come later, when the products

by the people as whole, has made lot of good feeling for himself. For this reason the friends of the administration may take comfort-it was not that the members of the committee liked them less but Jones more. Besides, in the few weeks that Jones has been chairman he seems to have made good.
 Important Election.
 When it is known that there are mem- bers of county boards of trustees in Ala bama who cannot write nor read the im- portance of the general election for these officers to be held on July is at once realized. These men are selected by the voters of the districts and must be house. holders and freeholders. They in turn. elect chairmen and the chairmen elect the county boards of education. For the reason that the schools require better care now than ever in the history of the state the school authorities are urging that only good men, progressive and wide awake friends of education, be chosen this 4th of July.
 Some New Duties.
 The new high schools will be under the care of the county boards with the advice of the state high school commis- sion, composed of the governor the audi tor and the superintendent of education. The county will have, therefore, five men against three for the state. This adds to the responsibility of the citizens to get only the best men for the service. School men take it tlIat too little care is taken in the selection of county school men and are endeavoring to get a high grade of school loving men to take an interest n the education of the children of the state.
 To Make Trouble.
 And along the line of school betterment is coming a jolt-if one may use slang in talking of an educational subject-for the school at Evergreen, known as the Sec ond District Agricultural institute. Lo- cal control has become wound up in local difficulties and the state authorities are trying to get at the bottom of it. One hears that the science of agriculture is not taught there as the statute provides: also that the interests of the state in it's effort to help educate the youth there are not safeguarded as the state officers would like. The board will have a meeting in a few days and the writer has it from a member that the school is going to have to measure up or lose out.

SOME WEEKEND GOSSIP
 FROM THE STATE CAPITAL
BY HERVEY W. LAIRD.

Montgomery. May -(Speeial)-Thore can be no secret of the ,fact that the election of George ". Jones to the chair manship of the Montgomery county dem ocratic committee was blow to the Co., mer following in the county. Friends of the governor tried to prevent the choice falling on the district attorney of the Louisville and Nashville road, but th.y lost, Jones winning out by healthy ma Jority He was nominated by farmer, H C. Lamar, of beat P, way out in the country and elected largely by men out of the city proper.
 Several Recent Losses.
 The fact is that Montgomery county is a continual disappointment to the admin istration forces. Bryan wound up in the also ran column of the primary race; Cunningham. a man little in the good taste of the Conner following, was elect sd to the national convention, and Judge Sones district United States court judge, located at Montgomery, put many of the state. laws to the bad for the time being at any rate. Thus it may be seen that there is rarely cause for rejoicing on Capitol Hill when the unterrified of the capital county get busy.
 But What Is the User
 Put what is the use for the governor to get into fights like that of the Mont gomery democracy. It was not essential to his salvation politically or personally that George w. Jones be beaten, so what was the gain by fighting. The writer is rot asking these questions, but the peo- ple those friendly and indifferent to the governor alike. He has gained nothing but the. i'll will of a few who take 1t that it was none of his business, and the feeling on the part of others that they were forced to fight him even though .hey did not care to do so.
 Jones Popular Man.
 The victory of Jones in this case is rot so much feeling of resentment at any person or following, as friendly feeling for Jones. Long a resident CT the city, member of the school board and attorney for the Louisville and Nasa- vile railroad, George" as he is called

Stock Leaders Have At Last
 Made a Market
BUSINESS IS IMPROVING
Constructive Industries Throughout the Country Show Signs of De- sire to Resume Action-Pol-
 itios Is Disturbing Factor.
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, May 23.-tSpeeiaL)- )-The com- bination of great market leaders who have been pushing up stocks for the last two months seem at last to have made q market Whether or not they have dis tributed any considerable part Of the stocks bought low down or whether this distribution in bulk remains to be done is a question which is bothering the wise ones of the street The market which was created is not the great big, broad one participated in by. butchers and bakers and blacksmiths, barbers and all the null titude of small fry people, it is neverthe- less quite as important in the matter of volume of purchases and quite as effee- tive in the absorption of securities.
 The market which has been made is composed largely of rich and middle rich operators. This is shown by the infor- nation gathered from the rank and file of bank and commission houses These concerns are not receiving miscellaneous business of any consequence, but there IS hardly a house in Wall street that is not running from one to half dozen very active accounts. some of them very big ones. These live accounts in some cause extend from 75,0OO to 100000 shares, and in one of the big private wire firms there is an account of 150,000 shares For the most part these men are not profess sionals but are millionaires who dropped out of the whirl months ago and are only just getting back into speculation. They seem to feel that times are on the mend for sure and that they can once more safely put their capital in stocks. few hundred of such men are as good for the creation of a big market as that many thousands of little people or the ordinary run of traders. They are just as good to unload on as a multitude, and the agony is concentrated and stified when the market goes wrong.

of the mills and factories begin to move. Besides, railroads are generally adopting the policy of gloomy talk. They are do- ing this on the theory that it will help out the programme for raising freight rates The greater the poverty the less opposition to the advance.
 Politics as a disturbing factor are likely to get more in evidence for the next few weeks More than ever it is being taken for granted that Secretary Taft will be the Republican nominee. Also more than ever it is dawning on the consciousness of Wall street that eastern opposition to the renomination of MT. Bryan at Denver may not be effective. The grow ing probability of contest between MT. Taft and MT. Bryan has also set people to thinking earnestly about the November chances, and it Is no longer esteemed a dead moral centainty that the Nebraskan will be defeated. The many clements of doubt which are likely to enter into such Presidential campaign are for the first time being seriously discussed. That such a contest might easily degenerate into rough and tum- ble gousing and biting match is recog- njzed as among the possibillties-a battle in which no attention will be paid Co

 Everybody is glad that Congress is go- ing home. Not that it has done any very great harm this session, but so long as 1t remains In Washington there is always a chance that it may smash things in some way.
 The outlook Is for an international trade balance of more than s70o,OOO,0oO for the year ending June 30. In view of this fact there is considerable mystihca- tion over the continued outflow Of gold On the surface of things the movement should be the other way.

A feature of the boom in stocks is the return 10 New York of the fragments of the old iron and steel crowd that four to six years ago made it's headquarters in the Waldorf Astoria, where they gathered by the hundreds and burned up their money. These men no longer give their undivided presence and patronage to the Waldorf. but are scattered around among half dozen or more of the big uptown hotels They are at the Plaza, St Regis, Sherrys, Holland and Astor. There is only one explanation of their presence in New York. They are not here to buy dry goods or boots and shoes or steam yachts or brown stone fronts. A large majority of them suffered severe losses during the last year or two and they are here to get their money back They are looking for 1t where they lost it. More than any other clement or contingent they may be credit ed with the heavy buying of the last three or four weeks which supplemented the previous tremendous purchases by the Hartman Frick-Standard Oil combination. This buying has been on a sufficiently large scale to enable the combination 10 get rid of a big percentage of it's speeu- lative lines if disposed There. are many indications that it has done so, and that the combine is getting itself m shape to view with equinln1ity smash ing reaction in prices.
