VETS THREATEN
 TO RIDE MULES
SAY MEMPHIS IS TRYING TO HOLD THEM UP ON PRICE CHARGED FOR HORSES TO BE USED IN THE PARADE.

Local staff officers of the Fourth bri- gade, United Confederate Veterans. are indignant at what they term the exorbitant charges to be made in Mem phis for horses to be used in the parade.
 Two weeks ago the local veterans sent to Memphis to have horses re- served for their use in the parade and they enclosed a check for S3 each to cover the charge. Saturday the check was returned with the information that the reunion committee had decided that $5 per head must be charged for horses in the parade. The local veterans say they won't pay 1t. They state they will ride mules before they will be held up. One of them stated last night that he had never been to reunion where the charge for horses was over $3 each and he added that the Birmingham party is game" enough to ride mules if the Memphis people insist on making an eXorbitant charge.
 They are waiting for further infor- nation and if the $5 rate is persisted In they will insert an advertisement in the Memphis papers for enough mules to carry them If they cannot get the mules some of the veterans say they will not go to Memphis at all.

DEEDMEYER APPOINTED
 TO CONSULAR SERVICE
Well Known Birmingham Mans Name Sent to Senate for Con
 sul at Charlotteown Prince Edward Island

in March, 1901, irN search of health. Being greatly benefited, after a stay at Montgomery and Birmingham, he decided to locate here.
 He has been successful in his pro- fession and has at this time a large and growing practice. By his courtesy and ability his irreproachable educa- tion and his intellectual attachments he has won a high place in the Bir- mingham bar.
 MT. Deedmeyer is a democrat in pol itics. His appointment in the foreign service shows that President Taft will follow the policy in this respect laid down by Roosevelt and that the south will be recognized in every branch of the public service. An appointment in the consular ser vice is now for life. Promotions are based on merit only.
 When seen by an Age-Herald re- porter MT. Deedmeyer said he had no official notice from the state depart ment, except through a letter of Sec retary of State Knox to Senator Bank llcdu, anu lIdl I0 uid iiOt tdi6 lO Sdy anything on the subject before the receipt of the official notification from | the state department.
 In reference to his appointment a prominent member of the Birmin gham | bar said last night:
 News of the appointment of Frank Deedmeyer to the consular service of the United States will be received with satisfaction by the greater number of practitioners at the Birmingham bar, among whom none stands better as an ethical. talented advocate than Frank Deedmeyer.
 MT. Deedmeyer came to Birming 1901. Since his advent he has suc- cessfully endeared himself to the mem- bers of the profession by his educa- tional qualifications, courteous de- meanor and strong advocacy of all causes he has expoused.
 While the government of the United States has chosen well a representa- tive in this arm of its service and will A be further benefited by his services, Frank Deedmeyer will rise rapidly anywhere. Birmingham, though hon ored by his appointment. will lose one of its best and most influential citi- zens in all, things pertaining to her progress and uplifting"

ALUMNI BANQUET TODAY

The annual report of pr. J. H. Mccoy, president of Birmingham college, was sub mitted yesterday at meeting of the board of trustees. The report is full and comprehensive, reviewing the prog ress made by the institution during the term now closing. and including several recommendations of interest. The report is now under consideration by the board, which will make announcements Wednes- day.
 It is in part as follows:
 The total number of students enrolled during the session is 173. The enroll ment for the session preceding was 175, showing net loss this year of two. This showing really is encouraging. rather than discouraging, when the circum- stances under which the current session opened are considered. We began the session in the gloomiest period of the financial panic, and, in addition to this, when the session opened the mineral dis trict was in state of turmoil and tinan- cial paralysis on account of the coal miners strike which at that time was at

LIVE WIRES CAUSE BIC SIGN ID FALL Brilliant Electrical Display on
 Third Avenue MIX WITH TROLLEY WIRES Feed Wires and Guy Wires Cause Flames and Sparks to Dance Around PromIscuousIy-No
 One Injured.

The burning in two of the heavy wires supporting the large sign of the Bijou theatre hanging across Nineteenth street at Third avenue caused a great deal of excitement shortly before o'clock last night
 That no one was hurt is considered re- marlable. The supporting wires had in some manner come in contact with a highly charged live wire and things im- mediately grew lively. It took but a few moments for the supporting wires to burn in two and part of the sign drop ped witli-.a crash to the ground. Then feed wires, trolley wires and guy wires mixed while sparks and blue flames danced about promscuously.
 There were a great many people pass ing directly under the sign at the time 1t fell and several of them had very narrow escapes. One old man did not seem to comprehend the shouts of other pedestrians and quietly continued on his way. the live wires almost grazing him as they swung about.
 The emergency wagon of the Birming- ham RI i.way, Light and Power company was on tne scene within a few moments and in short while had taken the bal ance of the sign down and attached the ends of the live wires to their proper of the wagon skillfully and daringly han dled the sparkling, dangling wires the crowd gave him round of applause.

GLOVER EXPLAINS STEPS NECES- SARY TO REPEAL SECTION e6, WHICH REFERS TO THE FEE SYSTEM IN ALABAMA.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In your editorial contained in todays issue under the caption -Four Candl- dates in the Field" have read your crit icism of Dr. Tarrants attitude upon the fee question. l think you have mad vertently fallen Into error In assum- ing that final action could not be had upon the proposed repeal of section 96 Of the constitution until 1912 or 1915. quote from the editorial as follows: "Dr. Tarrant seems inclined to favor as preliminary step the repeal of section 96. The objectionable section could not, however, be acted on until the legislature meets in 1911 and then If would be voted on at the general cleo tion of 1912, and legislation under the repeal of the offensive section could not take place until the legislature meets in 1915, unless, indeed, special session were called for that purpose at an expense of about $5O,0Oo. The people are, there- fore in no mood to indorse Dr. Tar rants repeal proposition. It involves too much delay. What is wanted is a state- wide reform bill at the earliest practic- able moment, and this can be had under section 96 The fee brigade really builded better than they knew"
 Section 2s4 of the constitution in so far as the same relates to the question un. der. Consideration provides as follows:
 Amendments may be proposed to this constitution by the legislature In the manner following: The proposed amend ments shall be read in the house in which they originate on three several days, and, if upon the third reading. three-fifths of all the members elected to that house shall vote In favor thereof, the proposed amendments shall be sent to the other house in which they shall likewise be read on three several days and if upon the third reading three-fifths of all the

members elected to that house shall vote in favor of the proposed amendments, the legislature shall order an election by the qualified electors of the state upon such proposed amendments to be held either at the general election next succeeding the session Of the legislature at which the amendments are proposed or upon any other day appointed by the legislature not less than three months after the final adjournment of the session of the legis- lature at which the amendments were proposed. and if it shall there- upon appear that a majority of the quail fled electors who voted at such election upon the proposed amendments voted in favor of the same, such amendments shall be valid to all intents and purposes as parts of this constitution. The result of such election shall be made known by proclamation of the governor"
 It would, therefore, appear that should the repeal of the offensive section be pro- posed at the approaching special session, final action thereon would not necessar- fly be deferred until 1912 or 1915, since, ky express provision of law, . vote there- on could be had upon any date fixed by the legislature earlier than the next gen. eral election Of course 1t will be ob- served that the legislature could not fix a date to vote upon the proposed amend ment which is less than three months after the final adjournment of the sion of the legislature at which the amendment Is proposed And 1t will also be observed that, should the proposed amendment carry at the election, no fur ther acton thereon is required at the hands of the legislature, but that such amendment shall thereupon be val& to all intents and purposes as parts of this constitution" and 1t is only required that the governor thereafter make known the result of the election by proclama- tion
 I desire to add further that l doubt the wisdom of empowering any county board to fix the salaries of county officials as suggested by you, but upon the con trary, such salaries should be fixed by law Respectfully,

A local member of the legislature is preparing a bill which he considers so- lution of the much vexed fee system problem, and one which will be of in terest all over the state. It will prob ably elicit criticism from officers and all interested, as, if passed, it would have a widespread effect.
 The new bill which is being drawn will provide a specific salary for each of the 67 counties in the state. Instead of divid- ing the counties into five classes there will be class for each county, and these salaries will be set by the repre- sentatives from those counties
 It will be arranged just as an appro- priation bill, with the advice and recom- mendation of each department.
 While different salaries will be set for the various officers. it will be a general bill. applying to all the counties of the state, and will thus answer the consti- tutional requirement..
 It is believed that such a bill might do away with much of the opposition to the proposed abolition of the fee system
