ALTAR CARVED IN
 BEAUTIFUL MARBLE
A WORK OF ART REPLACES THE BLESSED VIRGINS WOODEN ALTAR AT ST. PAUL'S-lN MISS CAHALAN'S MEMORY.

At St. Paul's church the Blessed Virgins altar of Wood has been replaced by a beautiful altar of white Italian marble, erected to the memory of the late Mary Cahalan. The statue of the Blessed Vir- gin has not been completed but it will be finished and placed in position by the first of May. In the mentime the altar has been tastefully dressed with vines and flowers and will be ablaze today with candles.
 This altar was carved in the studio of the Oak Hill Marble and Stone Works of Birmingham and, according to the opinion Of critics familiar with ecclesielogical art, there is no finer specimen of altar work in the south. The marble is of such superior quality that it can never become discol- ored, but on the other hand it will look as pure in the years to come as it ap- pears today
 On the seulptors table at the Oak Hill Marble and Stone Works is a block of marble out of which is being chiseled a life size bust of the late Father P. A O'Reilly of blessed memory. It will be d portrait bust, and those who have seen the clay model say the likeness to the original is singularly true. It has not placed, but it is said to be intended for St. Pauls parish. When completed it will be mounted on a handsome pedestal

STAGG MAKES STATEMENT.
Discusses Questions Brought Before
 Alabama Synod Last Week.


 The Rev. Dr. J. w. Stagg last night made the following statement:
 When the synod convened it was gen. orally accepted by a motion that bids be accepted for the location of the college, and to make this more definite it was moved that the synod do now receive bids for the location of this institution, and that those representing the communities from which bids have been received be granted one hour each to present the merits of their respective bids and, fur ther that the synod do then consider the matter until this business, for which 1t was called, is finally settled, whereupon the Rev. J. G. Anderson, Borden H. Burr and the Rev. E. D. McDougall agreed among themselves as to the way in which they would present their claims.
 If this order of procedure had been followed, which it should have been, it would not have ben possible to either have introduced a motion for postpone ment or such motion as was made by the Rev. J. G. Snedecor for the appoint ment of a committee to receive bids and the presenting of such bids to the synod to convene in November.
 But since the arguments of those who were opposed to the immediate locality had their due weight it is probable that a majority of the synod gave place in their convictions to presentation of the cause to what l call ecclesiastical dema- goguery, in order that the unanimous mind of the synod might in the end be obtained /"

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
John T. Johnson.

The funeral services over the remains of John T. Johnson who died Wednesday morning at the St. Vincent hospital, where he had been taken the day previous to undergo an operation for pertonitis, were held Thursday afternoon at o'clock from the late home of the deceased, 1922 Ina street MT Johnson suffered three weeks from typhoid fever before peritonitis set in. The deceased was one of the most promising young business men of Bir- mingham, being only 25 years of age, and the senior member of the firm of John son & Mccoy Co. His death is deeply mourned over the entire Birmingham dis trict. The death of MT Johnson is made more sad by the fact that he was mar ried only about six weeks ago to Miss Blanche Harton of Woodlawn. He is sur vived by the young wife and a widowed mother, Mrs Mary N. Seal, widow of the late Col. Roderick Seal of Mississippi

 The committee on arrangements, con- sisting of Capt. J. Ed Keith, R. M Wag- goner and R. Burnett, has been hard at work for several weeks making prepara- lions, and matters now stand practically completed.

The galleries were packed with spectators and the occasion in its entirety proved q brilliant one

HADDOW INDICTED. -
Former Treasurer of Majestic Theatre
 Charged With Grand Larceny.

Thomas Haddow, the former treas urer of the Majestic theatre, was in- dicted by the grand jury yesterday on the charge of embedding the funds of the theatre. Haddow is well known in Birmingham, having made great many friends during the time he was connected with the theatre. His ac- counts had always been straight until one night when it is charged he placed the money, which had been taken in, in satchel and proceeded to leave town.
 Two or three months elapsed before he was canght, detectives having traced him all over the country dur ing this time, finally locating him in New Orleans. He had passed through San Francisco on his way there, his trip also including a number of other large cities.
 He has been confined in the county jail for several weeks, and during this time has fared well. His meals are sent to him, while he is constantly visited by number of ladies.

Music WiH Be Feafuye
 Of He COming Rennion
BY BURR BLACKBURN.

If it be true that music, friend Of sound can soothe mans nature, hold com munion with the soul and swell the heart with joy beyond the effort of faint. weak language, then surely during the Confed- crate reunion nature will overrun with soothing syrup, great soul communing, cathedrals will totter around the streets of Birmingham and revelling happiness will flood the Jefferson county storm sewer, while effervescent joy rises in vapor to the sky from the swelled and busted" hearts.
 For there will be music, yea, and music, and yet little more music to move the 'doleful dumps from minds oppressed" and the whole reunion to march of har- monious melody This is, of course, all due to the music committee. Knowing that "the man that is not moved with concord of sweet sounds is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils." this committee decided to adopt a plan which will rid the town of these dull and senseless beings, and thus to have every chord tuned and ready to cheer the souls of the veterans who fought for their convictions amid the melody of rebel yels and the old war songs. <
 The May festival which Capt. Frank O'Brien is preparing will serve this pur- pose, and then will come the sweet song of the southland on June g, 10 and Il.
 The committees plans are still in a formative state, as only a few contracts have been formally closed but, the broad scope of their endeavors promises great things.
 From the instrumental standpoint the music will be exceptional. Eight or 10 military bands. including possibly na- tional guard military band. and some of the best organizations in the south, wifi be contracted for, and beside some half dozen or more are expected to come seek ing place on the programme, even though they are not paid.
 At all times during the reunion these bands will fill the air with music in va- rious points about the city. On one oc- casion the whole musical force, probably numbering some 300 pieces, will gather at Capitol park, and such noise will be heard as never was before.
 Phillip Memoli will be in charge of this part of the programme. All the bands will be under his direction. He is select-

ing the numbers to be played at the grand gathering, and sending them to the bands as fast as contracted for, so that they may become familiar with the music. Among the local bands which will take part are those of Memoli, the industrial school at East Lake and the Auburn Mil- itary band.
 However the plans for vocal music are even more extensive. MT. Memoli is now engaged in training male chorus of POO voices for the reunion. Besides a large crowd in Birmingham, he has classes in all the suburbs pfacticing for the great event. The results of this undertaking are expected to be marvellous
 Then Miss Kits, director in the public schools, is training chorus of some 2Oo children's voices. The possibilities of such music are only known by those who have heard the children in the Birmingham schools
 The Southern Cross chorus an organiza- tion of ladies, with headquarters in half a dozen southern cities is already rehears- ing for the reunion. Their part will be a great feature, as their fame in other re- unions has gone before them. They have offered their services and been accorded a prominent position on the programme.
 The music committee is swamped with correspondence on all kinds of propos- tions. Chairman J. E. Shelby and Secre- tary Williams are giving it great deal of their time. They have on negotiations with some half dozen of the country's best chautauqua entertainers and will bring number of these to Birmingham.
 On the second night of the reunion. two entertainments will be given at the same time, one at the Hippodrome and tho other at the Jefferson theatre. The two big choruses will probably be used at both places, being accorded different po- stions at each house.
 A third big entertainment will be given at some time during the reunion not yet decided. However, beside the inside enter tainments the outside air will be made to thrill with patriotic and beautiful strains from morn until night.

THE LYRIC THEATRE

The bill for the Lyric this week is one of the best that has ever been on at any theatre in the city. It will be clean, hsn class and refined. The management gives the people the cleanest and most up- to-date acts in the business. We have se- cured the booking of acts that have played the biggest houses through the south The management has closed contracts with agents to do their booking who have handled the business of the largest houses in the south which assures the public the best
 The bill for the week is 'The Three Marqueria Sisters" The Barringtons and Miss Lou Willard, prima dona MT. Francklyn Wallace, the greatest illus trated tenor singer in the south. He puts feeling in his songs you will never for get MT. Wallace gets his songs direct from the publishers and they are up to the minute. Also MT. Harvey c. Hull, the robust baritone, who is always winner.
 Our motion pictures are the best and are absolutely first run. This means you haven't seen the pictures at the Lyric before. This we guarantee. Pictures and songs changed daily vaudeville pro- gramme twice week. If you don't go to the Lyric you miss a treat
