The Taft celebration in Birmingham will be formally opened this afternoon at the
 State fair track when the great series of
 automobile races take place in which Bar
 ney Oldfield, the speed king, will be the star
 Barney was seen in Birmingham several years ago, but he had not yet reached the zenith of his career as a racing marvel.
 Today he will be seen at his best. He will drive the fastest car ever shipped to
 this country from abroad and with prob ably one exception his machine is the fastest in the world.
 Oldfield's big monster arrived on a special car last night over the Central
 Railway of Georgia and was immediate ly unloaded and dragged to Drennens s gar
 age where it will be tuned up some this
 morning for the speed tests and races this
 afternoon.
 In the professional event today Oldfeld
 will meet Ben Kerscher, German boy,
 who graduated for the ranks of a me-
 chanician only recently and is looked
 upon as one of the budding wonders or
 the speed game. He will drive Alec
 Sloan's Darracq, 8 machine that has a
 long list of victories to its credit. It
 first won in this country the Vanderbilt cup race and set a mark for the Long Is- land course that has been bullseye for the other drivers, but which has not only remained untouched, but never even been | approached.
 | Whether Oldfeld will be able to walk away from him as he has all others re-
 mains to be seen, but it is safe guess | that before the day is over the specta- | tors vii lbe entertained by the greatest | series of professional races ever seen | here.
 l Kerscher's car arrived yesterday and was also stored at the Drennen garage 1 from which place it will be removed to
 the track this morning for tryout be- | fore the big battle with the notorious 1 Barney.
 1 While the professional events today will l be the crowning features of the pro- | gramme, they will not absorb all ths I interest as the several local CUTS have | been stripped and tuned up to rip of
 miles at a rate that promises a lot oi | fun for the fans.
 i The first local event will be f1ve-miit | stock car chasis race in which Katz vii | be seen at the wheel of an E. M. F. car; Schmidt in a White gasoline ma chine and Steve Smith in a Buick. l Considerable interest has also beer
 aroused by the match race arranged be- | tween Smiths Buick and an Oldsmoble | from the Birmingham garage. Smith has placed side bet on his machine and is 1 looking for more takers
 l The ten-mile open race will be the big. | gest amateur event of the afternoon, anc l will bring out five crackerjack entries In addition to the E. M. F., the White gasoline car and the Buick there will I also be the Oldsmobile and Barney Old l fields National. The first four named | cars will be stripped while Oldfield vii l enter his car equipped.
 l The afternoons fun will start with ths | motorcycles, which will bring out a big field of machines. Of course, Bob Stubbs | will be the star of the occasion, but he | will have to go some as he will have against him two and probably three ma 1 chimes that have shown wonderful speed | The entire programme, complete witt

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
syIacauea Meeting.
To the editor of The Age-Herald.

To the editor or The Age-Herald.
 We desire to make some corrections in the report made by your correspondent at this place relative to the address of Hon. s. J. Bowie, delivered here last Sat urday. We are sure your correspondent would not intentionally make ant incor- rect statement of the facts hence we are persuaded to believe that he was either not personally present or else he is not a good judge. There were pres ent 315 persons, by actual count, 2s of whom appeared to be under 21 years of age. It is estimated that at least 200 of those present are qualified voters and that 37 of them reside in Coosa county and adjoining beats, those outspoken against the amendment with very few ex- captions remained away from the speak ing. .
 Mir. Bowie met with an enthusia(tic reception; he made a plain, clean-cM statement of the facts and fully cov- cred the issue before the people. If the manner in which the people received his speech counts for anything 1t would seem that the local amendment club your correspondent refers to, hasn't the situas tion as well in hand as he would have you believe. division of time was not granted the Rev. Dr. Dickinson princi- pally for the reason that MT. Bowie only had an hour and half in which to de- liver his address and to have given any part of this over to Mir. Dickinson would have been an injustice to both parties. Again 1t was published in. the Birming- ham Ledger on Friday last that petition signed by 100 voters in and around the Central mills had gone out repuesting the doctor to como to eylacauOa md 1Go11ss'

GOVERN MENT TO
 OPERATE CAFE

Washington November 1.-(Special.)- Government ownership, in a measure, is to be applied to the capitol this winter. This has reference to the Senate restau- rant. There has been so much complaint about the service that before Congress adjourned the Senate committee on rules took the matter in it's own hands. The chairman, Senator Crane, gave orders to clear out everything and put in the fur nishings of first-class cafe. This has been done and extensive Improvements have been made. Save for the food and the silver the government furnishes every thing. Crane, who is a good business man, predicts the government will make money out of it. Since the sale of liquor was abolished in the captoi and the giv- ing away of liquor in committee rooms was inaugurated, the capitol restaurants have not paid expenses.

Dispute on Calvin
 In Presbyterian Council

New York, June 1.-The session of the Council of the Presbyterian Churches yesterday, which was held in the chapel of the Fifth Avenue Pres hyterian church, was devoted to John Calvin. The attendance was much larger than on the opening day.
 The Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts, an American, started a lively discus sion late in the afternoon by declaring that Calvin had been an early and a stanch advocate of the absolute sep aration of Church and State. The courts of the United States for the most part had followed Calvin in their decisions, and the recent General As sembly held at Denver took some ac- ton upholding anew the Calvin theory. Turning to the Scotch delegates he ex- pressed the hope that other assemblies might be equally Calvanistic.
 Before he was fairly finished Gen. R. E. Prime of Yonkers cut him off to express his sorrow that such a subject had been injected into the discussion. The time might come, he said, when the courts would prove to be the sheet anchor of the churches, even for the defence of doctrines. He resented the implied criticism of the American courts and reminded the Rev. Dr. Rob erts that court decisions thus far re- ferred exclusively to property and not to doctrine. pr. Roberts replied, with an apologetic air, that he had not in tended to criticise American courts.

Lovers Communicate
 By Carrier Pigeon

winsted, June 17.-David Cohen, who was recently called here from New York to manage a clothing business, proposes to keep in communication with his fancee in the metropolis by carrier pigeon instead of by mail. She has received a dozen pigeons for that purpose, one of which took a prize at a recent show in Madison Square Gar den.
 BA rail to New York Is 11S miles, and it takes four hours for the fastest trains to get letter there. By air line the distance is considerably shorter, and Cohen has figured that he can beat Uncle Sam's delivery system by more than an hour.
