AUTOS MOVING
 SLOW YESTERDAY
Deputies Were Again on Lookout, But Very Few Drivers Exceeded
 Speed Limit.

Automobiles glided along yesterday aft ernoon through the streets of Birmingham under the watchful eyes of deputy sher ifs, but only a small number were found to be exceeding the speed limit. Prac- tically all of the drivers ran their ma chimes carefully, which was in contrast to the Sunday before, when, over 10 machines were spotted travelling at a faster rate than the law allows.
 One arrest was made yesterday, this one being Jake Santo, who was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Dean and released on a $l00 bond. The numbers of the other machines were caught and warrants for the arrest of the owners have been sworn out. Nearly 40 machine owners had war rants sworn out for their arrest last week and are under bond now awaiting their trials. This is supposed to have had a great effect in causing them to travel slower yesterday.
 Deputy Sheriffs Lee Higdon and Sid Cowan operated in several places yester- day timing the automobiles as they passed. The thing was worked in a very neat way and the occupants of the auto mobiles were doubtless unaware of the fact that their record was being taken

HOMES CANVASS
 BEGINS FRIDAY
COMMITTEE WILL SEEK PLACES FOR VETERANS WHO ARE ABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR AccoMMo. DATlONS.

The canvass for homes for the entertain- ment of the Confederate Veterans will begin Friday morning. The original in- tention to inaugurate- the canvass was changed because the Sunday school convention will attract many housekeep- CTS to it's sessions.
 In order that the work may be thor oughly done the homes committee de- cided to postpone action until Friday. On that day a corps of 2S men will be de- tailed to ascertain the hotel, lodging house and boarding house accommodations, as well as the names of those who are will ing for this occasion to throw open their homes for guests.
 The committee will not solicit free ac- commodations as it's work deals with finding homes for those who can pay for them. However, those citizens who desire to entertain the veterans without charge may so indicate to the solicitors, and a proper record will be kept of same. The committee believes that from 5000 10 10000 persons must be provided with homes. WDile the task Is a large one, it is not hopeless in the opinion of those who have already given the subject inves- tigation. A preliminary meeting of the committee of homes and the eanvassers will be held this morning at the Con- mercial club rooms.

HEAR REPORTS ON
 WORK OF REVIVAL
IMPORTANCE OF LAYMEN's MOVE MENT IS STRESSED AT TENT G-PRACTlcALLY ALL OF PRoTEsTANTs REPRESENTED.

A meeting was held yesterday after noon in the Gospel tent on Third ave- nue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets by the laymen of the different Protestant churches interested in the union revival being carried on. Reports from the different districts were made Which resulted in arousing a great deal of enthusiasm.
 The meeting was presided over by J. P. Jackson, secretary of the Young Mems Christian association. The Rev. George Eaves, secretary of the evangelistic com mittee of the pastors union. made a short talk in which he urged the absolute need of the cooperation of the laymen in the revival.
 He was followed by the Rev. Allan R. Moore, who spoke on Personal Respon- siblity.' pr. Moore stated that it was the personal duty of every layman to interest himself in the work. The Rev. J. A. Bryan followed pr. Moores idea, quoting from Joel Put ye in the sickle. the harvest is ripe. Every man to his worlx.'
 P. B. Thomas of the iaymen, spoke
 
 abundance of time for what they con slider the best things, and that the req son the great majority of them were not interested in the revival was because they had not been gone after. Ut will take but little work to show them this is one of the best things, said he.
 A. w. Lynch spoke of the Chattanooga laymens conference, referring to what Bishop Wilson had said there-"It is bet ter to save one million souls than to) save one million dollars" Do you realize the truth of this?" asked MT. Lynch. Had the bishop said, it is better to save one soul than one million dollars it would have been no less true"
 The Rev. Hoyt Dobbs also spoke on the Chattanooga laymen's conference. using illustrations. to show how the lay man had become an important factor in the church. He compared the nine teenth century as looking like neighbor- hood and the twentieth as a sort of brotherhood, taking in the whole world ''The nineteenth century witnessed the creating of the laymen's movement in all of the denominations. The laymen were coming to the front with their business ideas. This coming forward of the lay men is resulting in the planning of a campaign for the saving of the entire world It is a great undertaking, but one which is bound to succeed with the laymen behind t.''
 There were talks by several other men. all of which were very impressive. Near ly all of the churches in the district were represented.

The Memory of the Dead.

"We thank God for the memories of our noble dead; we thank Him, too, for the blessings which He has granted to the land which they loved and served. In this southern land, in spite of temporary financial strain there is prosperity; here are schools and colleges that train our young for useful lives, for civic right eousness; schools and colleges that are binding an army of young men and young women into a high community of intellect ual endeavor and achievement; that are teaching the great lession that all studies, all pursuits that pertain to- culture. have bonds of association and ties of sym pathy; that in education the storied past anG breathing present meet and in their union show that the currents of all in- tellectual activities, of the thoughts of the ages, minglng in one mighty stream, sweep on and on, past empires that rise and fall, past dynasties that fade away as fades the dew of the morning. rolling on as long as the life of man shall here endure, as long as stars and blazing con stellations shall make resplendent the heavens above us
 Tn the south we find the highest pa- triotism in all our country; in the south the most luminous faith in God; in the south the finest type of genuine religion in all the world
 And this land, by grace of God, is ours. Let us make it greater yet by cher ishing the past as monitor for high think ing and noble living; by redeeming the days that are; by making ready for the mighty future, for gleams of which shine over the mountains of time and light our way to heights of usefulness, of service, and of larger faith in God"

"Convict 999."

There is plenty of light and shade in "Convict 999," the new sensational melo- drama exploited by A. H. Woods, which will be played at the Bijou this week be- ginning tonight. The shadow of the criminal court is there, and in the con- victon of an innocent man of the terrible crime of murder, on cireumstantial evil dene, there is shown a phase of the darker side of life which is gloomy in the eX- treme; the shadow of prison walls and the gruesome shade of the electric chair are also present Convict 999'' is, however, not wholly a play of gloom; there are many humorous situations, and several well drawn comedy characters who cause many a heary laugh. The usual matinees will be given.

DORA COMES TO
 AID OF CITIZENS
TOWN WILL TAKE CARE OF RE- MAINS OF MRS. MoLLIE SMITH AND OF OTHERS WHO WERE IN JURED.

The town of Dora has made arrange ments to care for those who were injured or killed in the storm at Bergens Friday and who were brought to Birmingham suffering from severe injuries, while the remains of Mrs. Mollie Smith are being held at the Gaudin Undertaking com panys parlors.
 Funeral services will be held over Mrs Smiths remains this afternoon at 8 o'clock and interment will be in Elmwood cemetery. Mrs. Smith was the aunt of Charles Culley, who is in the Hillman hospital as is also another aunt of his, Mrs. R. E. Hopley. Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Hopley and Culley were in their house at Bergens when it was blown down. All three were placed on a train and brought to Birmingham, Mrs. Smith dying on the way here.
 As a result of the panic, which threw so many men out of work, the majority of the people of Bergens were not in good financial condition. 1t was all that most of them could do to make both ends meet and the death of member of the family found the surviving members with expenses, and the announcement that the town of Dora would stand the expenses will prove a great relief to these sufferers.
