NEW IMPETUS AT
 Y. M. C. A. BANQUET
A MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN IS
 LAUNCHED WHICH PROMISES
 TO BRING GREATER RETURNS
 THAN ANYTHING HERETOFORE.

At a banquet in the gymnasium last night, the members of the Young Mems Christian association launched a new memb ership campaign with greater en- thusia sm than has ever been known on such an occasion. Fifteen committees were appointed, and large crowds vol unteered to work on each committee.
 The conference developed the fact that there is great rivalry and every committee intends to win the banquet which will be given to the winning team. Contrary to former practice, not only will the winning committee be the guests at the annual banquet, but every new member who joins the asso- ciatien during the campaign as well the man who secured him. The com mittee scoring the smallest number of points will be assistant walters, acting in caps and aprons.
 G. H. Estes presided in his usual happy style, and responses were made by Judge s. D. Weakley, ex-Congress- man S. J. Bowie, Dr. w. G. Harrison, J. H. Perdue, E. E. Wheeler, Carl Platowsky. General Secretary J. P. Stubbs and others.
 The members entered with zest not only into the plans for bringing new members into the associa tion, but the track and fe<l athletics which are be- ing pushed now preparatory to a meet this spring.
 It Is proposed to round out the fiscal year, which ends April 30, with the best record ever made by the asso- ciation. The campaign now on will last one month, and during that time several hundred new members will be added Detail improvements such as painting. an arrangement for vapor baths, yard for putting the shot and vaulting. and the like, are being put in The religious work of the asso- ciation is making great strides, and the directors last night spoke enthusias. tically of the future of the organiZa- tion.

Tim Murphy In "oId lnnocence.'

Tim Murphy In "Old Innocence"
 In spite of the fact that the play started late, and very poor scenery had to be used, Tim Murphy and a very talented cast delighted an appreciative audience at the Jefferson theater last night.
 The humor and the optimism of "Old Innocence never grows old The reputa- tion of this pleasant old sermon does Bir- mingham good every time, and in it Tim Murphy is always at his best. The story of his lind-hearted faith in humanity, his innocent joy in giving and his easy sub- mission to his tenants is too familiar to need retelling. Sufficient to say that his attempt at firmness and his I'm on to you." was just as full of fun and pathos as ever. His final conviction that there are plenty of good people in the world was no proof that there are any more J. Greens like Tim Murphy.
 He made a characteristic curtain talk announcing that he is soon to open in NeW York in My Boy by Rupert Hughe under the management of William q. Brady God is always good to the lri and with a good Jew manager.-" 8a said but was interrupted by applause
 The acting of Hallet Thompson as ile harsh Flint Green. his brother, ma l fine background for the old innocent, ald Aubrey Powell, his wife. was both pides- ing in voice and acting.
