PLANS UNDER WAY
 TO FORM RED CROSS
NEED FOR ORGANIZATION WAS STRlkINGLY POINTED OUT BY SUFFERERS IN WAKE.

Attention has been called to the import ance of the movement which has been started looking to the organization of a branch of the Red Cross society in Br- mingham which it is hoped will spread to the whole state. A meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. E. H. Cabaniss tomorrow afternoon at which time the importance of the work will be pointed out and steps taken looking to the pro- posed organization It has been pointed out that Alabama is the only one of the the Red Cross within it's borders.
 The recent cyclones emphasized the nec- essity for the society," for by these storms many people were killed, many injured and it is the general belief that these sufferers were not given the attention which they should have had. Dr. John w Stagg, chairman of the cyclone relief committee, in discussing the plans last night. said:
 Little children and grown people were brought here to Birmingham for treat ment and others should have been brought If the Red Cross had been in existence in Alabama crippled feet and broken legs might have been kept straight and the most ptiful object in the sight of humanity is an unnecessary cripple.'
 It is thought that the movement will meet a generally hearty response.

CHAIRMAN POINTS OUT NEcEs. SiTY OF CITIZENS THROWING OPEN HOMES IN ORDER TO Ac- cOMMoDATE VETERANS.

The office of home's committee for the reunion of Confederate Veterans has Issued this statement;
 "A personal canvass of the city just finished, which was necessarily hur- ried, and hence more or less incom- plete. has shown that more accommo- dations will be needed to provide for the thousands of visitors who are ex- pected to attend the reunion June y 10 and II. The committee on homes de- sires to emphasize the necessity of more accommodations. Free entertaii- ment is not asked. Neither is it asked that meals be furnished. unless house. holders wish it; as the restaurants can take care of this. The committee re- alizes that a large number of our peo- pie will entertain friends and relatives Where this is the extent of their abill- ty, nothing further can be asked. But it is especially requested that such entertainment be reported, so that the mate of the number thus provided for. In this connection, the committee of- fers it's services through its informa- tion bureau in assisting such invited guests to locate such hosts. Every in- dication points to large attendance at this reunion. Our people must open their houses to take care of these visi- tors.

"Dream City."

rollicking entertainment is Dream City" which will serve to introduce Lit tle Chip and Mary Marble and their big company of singers, dancers and fun makers at the Biiou theatre all this week, beginning tonight, with a benefit perform ance Friday night for the Arab patrol of Zamora temple of Shriners.
 The piece Is claimed to be one of the best musical comedies recently produced in New York. Joe Weber calls Dream City, a near opera" Edgar Smith, who wrote the book and lyrics. calls it dramatic pipe in two puffs," and what Victor Herbert. who wrote the music, calls 1t. is not on record. It is enough to know. however, that it is an unqualified hit and little wonder. as nothing that Weber has ever produced has been so meritorious. Even though presented by company con taining no satellites, the piece would doubtless be a success. for it tells a pretty story in logical way.

WEST END PLANS
 TO ASSESS FEE
THREE-MILE LIMIT GIVES THAT TOWN RIGHT TO MAKE CHARGE FOR DIGGING GRAVES AT ELM WOOD CEMETERY.

The question of three miles police Jurisdiction" bids fair to make 1t ex- tremely heavy financially for person to be buried around Birmingham. Ely ton recently passed an ordinance charging s1 for digging a grave in which to bury a dead person, and now members of the West End town council are considering introducing a like reso- lution. Elmwood cemetery is the ob jeetive point in the case. This beauti- full burial ground is located just out side the corporate limits of Elyton and West End, the east boundary of the cemetery running parallel with the line of Elyton for quite a distance, and the north line running parallel with the boundary of West End for still further distance.
 E1yton's charge will be assessed against graves dug in Elmwood ceme- tery in view of the fact that the ceme- tery is within the scope of the police jurisdiction" of the town of Elyton. west Enu aldermen are or the Op1nlOn that the cemetery is as much under their police jurisdiction as it is Elv- tons.
 Under the three miles of police jur- isdiction" Graymont will also probably decide to take a hand in the matter reach over the three-quarters of a mile strip of Elyton lying between it an1 the cemetery, and levy the charge. Again Brmingham's limits are hardly a mile from the cemetery and the Magic City might exercise it's "three miles, of right, extend it's collecting hand across Elyton and assess another dollar. Should the residents of Shades valley decide to incorporate they could reach across Red Mountain and place finger in the pie, while Cleveland could incorporate and have less than half mile to reach.
 Much comment has been made in re- gard to Elyton's action in charging for a burial permit. In Birmingh am it is necessary to secure a permit from the health officer, but this permit is furnished without charge.

VERDICT FOR $f7,5oo.
Another Decision in Case Which Has
 Been in Courts Eleven Years.

A verdict for S17500 WAS returned yes- terday morning by the jury in the case of E. F. Stollenwercil, administrator of the Southern Railway company. This suit has been on trial in Judge Coleman's division of the circuit court for several days and vent to the jury early Satur- day night, that body holding the case all night.
 This suit is one of long standing, hav- ing been in the courts for Il years, the first suit being filed on May IA 1897. Claim for damages was made for the death of Charles NJ Bryan, who was all engineer on the Mineral branch oi the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and who was killed on March ', 1897, as the result of 6 collision between a Louisville and Nash vile train and a. train of the Southern Railway company at the North Birming- ham crossing.
 The first case was called on May 14 1897, but on account of one of the jurors becoming intoxicated mistrial was de- clared. It was taken up again on the 31st day of that month, resulting in q verdict for $SOC0. This was taken to the surreme court. and the verdict reversed This suit had been brought by the wife of the deceased, who died shortly after the supreme court revoked the Judgment.
 It was taken up again in May, 1902, by J. J. Bonner, administrator. and a verdict returned in favor of the plain tiff, granting damages in the sum of s15,- O0O This judgment was also reversed by the supreme court, and in the mean time J. J. Bonner died
 After being reversed for the second time by the supreme court it was taken up again by E. F. Stolienwerck as ad- :nnistrator, which resulted in the verdict for s17,50o The case was hard fought, every point being hotly contested. Drank S White & Sons represented the plain tiff and James Weatherly the defendant.

Craps Shooters at Ball Park.

Sunday gamblers as we'll as the Bir- mingham baseball team have fallen under the bane of the "hoo-doo." which has been operating over West End park since the opening of the season of 1908. An il- lustration of this was given yesterday afternoon when Deputy Sheriff Parker swooped down upon that ancient place and roped in half dozen young men, busily engaged in the festive game of shooting craps. The violators were hus- tied to the county jail and lodged therein, while their friends exerted themselves in an effort to get bonds signed for them.
