unused radiators. The pounding was
constant and violent, and would have
drowned the preaching had 1t begun
a few moments earlier. The bellows
of the organ would not work and
there was no means by which the
noise could be shut off from the out
side. Happily, the outbreak did not
occur till the choir had begun to sing
the concluding stanza of the last
hymn, otherwise, there is no knowing
what might have taken place. On
learning that the organ had gotten
beyond the control of the player, the
choir sang the last verse without In
strumental accompaniment, after
which the congregation was dismiss

ding a discordant din to the service.
Five or six months ago the organ
was completely overhauled and put In

PIPE ORGAN AT FIRST
METHODIST CHURCH SHOWS
UNRULY DISPOSITION

From Tuesdays Daily.
A serie-comic incident took place
lust before the close of the services at
the First Methodist church Sunday
evening in consequence of the OBJ
sireperous and unruly conduct of the
pipe organ, which not only refused to
perform it's functions. but persisted In
a behavior that would have been dis
astrous to the discourse had 1t oc-
Cured before Pastor Hollenback fin

Miss Coolbaugh, the organist, had
more or less trouble with the instru-
ment all day. but it was not until near
the end of the evening service that 1t
refused to respond to the touch OF the
keys, although one or two musical
numbers had to be omitted to avoid
open rebellion on the part of its
mechanism. The power for the opera
ton of the organ is furnished by a
small water motor. located under the
floor of the choir, and it was from
that source that the trouble came

The annyonce was caused by thu

The citizens of West End are up in arms against the speeding of automobiles through that municipality yesterday forming a climax to a gradually growing sentiment against the speeders. There have been number of accidents and larger number of near ones and the de- mand is being made that the speeding pc stopped.
 During the past two weeks there have been quite number of arrests, but the majority of the offenders have had thelr cases dismissed after a talk from the re- corder or have had the small fine remit ted. Instead of the evil growing less, how eyer, it has increased, and yesterday found automobile after automobile whip ping around corners at 20 and 30 miles an hour while the speed on the straight aways was even greater. Some of the ma chimes went around corners at such speed

WILL CUNNINGHAM
 RETURN TO FIELD?
REPORT SAYS WEAkLEY MAY RE- TIRE FROM RACE-ANOTHER SAYS CUNNINGHAM MAY MAKE RACE AGAINST UNDERWOOD.

There is an interesting rumor in polit- ical circles to the effect that pr. R. M. Cunningham is planning to re-enter the political game.
 Several letters have been received at anti-amendment headquarters asking If these rumors are truthful.
 One of the rumors is to the effect that Judge s. D. Weakley will come down from the list of gubernatorial aspirants and that after the date of the amend ment election, pr. Cunningham will an- nounce himself candidate for the posi- ton of governor.
 Another rumor. and the one to which more faith is attached at headquarters. has Dr. Cunningham preparing himself for a brush with Oscar Underwood, con- gressman of the Ninth district. MT. Underwood, as Is known, has announced himself against the amendment. though he has not taken an active part in the fight. Incidentally, he has been invited to make an address this week in Blount county.
 In this connection the rumor is strong that Judge weakley will announce his retirement from the race for governor this week.

APPEAL IS MADE
 FOR, MERCY HOME
A THANKSGIVING OFFERING IS SOUGHT TO ASSIST IN CARRY ING ON WORK OF INSTITUTION. FOR COMING YEAR.

The board of managers of the Mercy Home has issued the following appeal for Thanksgiving offerings to aid in carry ing on the work of the home
 According to custom of many years standing the Mercy Home wishes to make an appeal for help at Thanksgiving time, For many years a generous public has made it possible to care for family of from 60 to 75 little children in way cal- culated, we believe, to make useful in telligent citizens of them later on. These children are the really destitute children of our city Homeless, or worse than home- less, abandoned by a father and a poor mother having to work to provide food and clothing, little stories connected with each one that are often heartbrealxing. These children are fed and clothed and sent to school and the Mercy Home en- deavors to be a real home with dear Mother Rumsey as real mother to each child under its roof.
 Ut costs more each year to care for this family, and to the public we appeal for aid at this season when each one has so much for which to be thankful The Mercy Home will be open to visitors all day. A committee of ladies will be there to receive all donations. It would inter est anyone to go out and see for them selves what is being done there for the homeless child of Birmingham.
 The board of managers of the Mercy Home give no entertainments and depend upon a generous punblic to support this institution. For IS years it has cared for children and many of its girls and boys are filling positions of trust, mar ried happily or helping to support some other member of the family.
 'To start little child on it's life jour- ney imbued with good moral ideas, with the right before him as his aim-this is 6 great help toward doing away with the juvenile criminals. This is what the Mercy Home is doing. In It's little family the children gain an insight into right liv- ing that experience has shown goes with them in after years.
 we ask all who are truly interested in children to make a generous contribution to the Mercy Home this year. It is an excellent way to show our thanks, to help some one to be thankful. Contri- buttons may be sent to the Mercy Home, Eleventh avenue and Twenty-second street, north, or to the treasurer Mrs. James Weisel, Iroquois street."

SEED AND SHUGART
 ADDRESS OVERFLOW
CROWD BETWEEN BIJOU AND HIP. PODROME WAS ABOUT EVENLY DIvIDED-THERE WAS SOME ADOPTING AND JEERING.

Curtis Shugart of Birmingham and Wal ter D. Seed. state treasurer, spoke to the overflow crowd made up of defenders and amenoers yesterday afternoon from an inprovised stand in front of the Bijou.
 The crowd was about equally divided, and there was keen spirit of rivalry. A little hooting occurred and little jeering.
 The speech of MT. Shugart attracted an unusual amount of attention from the crowd. The amenders applauded his re- marks with unusual vim, while the de- fenders, in the most part, booted and asksd questions. But everybody was in a good humor apparently, and MT. Snug art smiled throughout the delivery of his oration.. An unbiased observer would probably reach the conclusion that no votes were won or lost as a result of MT. Shugart's speech. MT. Seed lectured on temperance and the evils of drinking whisky in large amounts.
 At the conclusion of MT. Shugart's effort, Chief of Police Bodeker mounted the stand and in behalf of peace and dig nity requested the large crowd to dis perse, which was done.

WILL SELECT SITE FOR $3,0O0,O00 WIRE MILL NEAR ENSLEY Plant Will Require Fully Year and a Half for Con
 struction OFFICIALS PLANNING TO
 BEGIN WORK AT ONCE President Palmer of American Steel and Wire Company Here-visit Made to Tennessee companys
 Plant Yesterday.

Ground will soon be broken for the American Steel and Wire company's $3 0O0,oOO plant to be erected near the new town of Corey, just beyond Ensey.
 William P. Palmer of Cleveland, presi- dent of the American Steel and Wire, which is a constituent concern of the United States Steel corporation, is in Bir- mingham and will remain here until Tues day. He comes for the purpose of select ing the site for the plant and arranging details relating to the work of construc ton. With him are c. l.. Miller of Pitts burg vice president and general super tinendent. and F. H. Daniels of Worces- ter, Mass, chief engineer of the Amer ican Steel and Wire.
 President George G. Crawford of the Tennessee company, who had been in Cleveland attending a conference of the presidents of the Steel corporations sub sdiary companies, accompanied the party to Birmingham. They reached the city late Saturday night in private car No. 40 of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern rail- road, line owned by the United States Steel.
 Escorted by MT. Crawford, the Amer ican Steel and Wire officials visited Ems ley yesterday and inspected the steel plant. They also looked at the prospec- tive site for the big wire mill. President Palmer said last night:
 Between now and Tuesday we will de- eide definitely upon the site for our new plant, and as soon as that is done l will be ready to make statement cov- ering some of the plans of the American Steel and Wire company's entrance into the Birmingham district. We will begin work as soon as possible, and 1t is our purpose to have the plant completed and in operation in IS months from this time.
 'I was in Birmingham with MT. Corey's party a year ago last April. I thought well of this city then and I think even better of 1t now. Wonderful strides have been made both in the business section and in the residence section. Among many notable improvements I have been especially impressed with the Terminal station. It is far ahead of anything in have in Cleveland. In it's appointments it Is unsurpassed by the Pennsylvania station in Washington, and as for beauty of architecture I do not recall any pas senger depot in this country that is quite so satisfying"

Sufferers Helped Newspaper Gives Formula For Kidney and Rheumatic
 Victims.

In Germany there is a newspaper published in the interests of all rheu- matic sufferers, and each week symp- toms and treatments are discussed by both laity and medical men. One scientific contributor related that a formula originated especially to re- lieve kidney diseases, had almost phe- nomenal virtue in the treatment of all forms of rheumatism.
 No secret Is made of this formula which is composed of one-half ounce fluid extract Buchu, one ounce com pound fluid Balmwort and two ounces compound syrup Sarsaparilla, mixed in bottle, and to be taken in teaspoon full doses after each meal and one at retiring.
 A local druggist expressed the opin- ion that every rheumatic and kidney sufferer will be rateful for this Item.

his personal stand on the matter, Dr. Cunningham said:
 q have a confession to make to you. I have been an advocate of prohibition since I was so high dndicating a height of some three feet). In 1880 I was mem ber of the legislature from Franklin county, and was member of the com mittee on temperance. Before that com- mittee used to appear people Of all classes, even negroes, all of whom prayed us for prohibition. It was the purpose of that committee to let the majority have what they wanted, and we even put in a bill for prohibition. I was local optionist then as I was prior to ten days ago. When the Montgomery convention, with it's ex-governors and ex-congress- men, met and came out for statewide prohibition, I saw where I was, and de- cided to join the women and children. Gentlemen, they have always been my gang.
 For those on the opposing side to style themselves defenders of the constitution I consider it a superlatively egotistical assumption. The constitution is not sa- cred and unchangeable. The people are its makers and should be its masters. The amendment now under consideration illegalizes alcohol, and Is, therefore, cer- tainly good thing"
 At the conclusion of pr. Cunningham s speech prolonged calls were heard for Carmichael" Speaker Carmichael was then introduced and spoke for few mo- ments along the usual line, stating that the constitution Is the will of the people and that the people should change 1t whenever they see fit.
 Resolutions Adopted.
 A set of resolutions was adopted by a rising vote of those in attendance at the Bijou meeting in which the treat ment offered Mrs Mary Harris Armor during a public speaking held in front of the theatre on Sunday, November 14, was denounced as insulting. The regrets of the amendists were extended Mrs. Armor in the resolutions
