party was transported to and from the
church in automobiles.
Festivities, which followed the christen-

and concluded this morning at 8 at the
Roma. y More than 200 people partook Of
Cantoni's hospitality, and ate copiously Of
the ~ravioli, which required three days
preparation. The wine was all imported
from the Piamonti district, and the pasti
came all from Genoa.
An Italian orchestra played Italian and
American pieces throughout the day and
during the evening the italian boys aud
girls enlivcned the occasion by singing
songs in the native tongue.
The Roma is the Italian tavern of

hetti. prepared the old way. 1t is run by
Julius CantonI and Charles Bertachini,
cousins. who came to the United States a

tation OF preparing the rarest Italian

DEMURRAGE RULES STAND
No Change Contemplated in Roads
Operating in Nebraska.
SHIPPERS AND OFFICIALS HAPPY
FOrty-EiEht Hours as Time for
Unloading 10 be in Effect
in Every Part of the
Country.

There is to be no change in the demur-
rage rules in effect upon the railroads
operating In Nebraska as a result OF the
convention of the National Association OF
Railway Commissioner at Washington,
Omaha shippers viii be allowed the full
forty-eight hours free time for loading
and unloading merchandise.
This decision meets with the approval Of
the railroads running out of Omaha and
shippers generally are satisfied with the
agreement, In many states sixty hours
have been allowed shippers for loading
and unloading freight cars, and some
states have advocated sevsnty-two hours,
The uniform rule Of forty-eight hours will
be in effect throughout the country here
after.
In the car service departments Of the
Union Pacific railroad and the Burlington
route this news was welcomed. w. L.
Park, general manager OF the Union Pa
cifio system, was present at the session
Of the commissioners when the agreement
reached. There was considerable OPP
position 10 the CONGRATULATIONS rule from
eastern shippers.
The uniform enforcement of the forty
eight,hour rule will mean a better supply
Of cars to the shippers said an official

western farmers, but it Is usually ex-
planned by the fact that long strings OF
freight cars have been tied up In the east
for seventy-two hours or more.
During the rush season, when the farm
ers are harvesting their grain, this rule
must be rigidly enforced in order that
there may be no car shortage. The recent
anime in freight cars may be directly at

cohan and Harris Mlnstrels at the
Boyd.


Cohan and Harris MinstreIs at the
Boyd.
II mlnstrelsy is ever elaborated beyond
the point attained in the current attraction
at the Boyd it viii cease to be minstrelsy,
as Indeed it does cease part OF the time In
thls case. This is set forth in the program
ltsef, which announces an entertainment
embracing minstrelsy, burlesuue and mus
ical comedy" 1t might well have added
vaudeville. Except for the first third OF
the program, were II not that George Evans
IS on the stage and that everyone is in
black race, the casual spectator unaware
of the name of the Offering might not
know it was a minstrel show"
This is not to be considered as said in
depreciation of the quality Of the enter
talhment, Tor concerning that there will be
quite general praise. Those who like q
riot OF barbaric color, life, action, sweet
singing and much clever funmaking will
enjoy the performance to the utmost.
The program starts with some stereop-
ticon pictures depicting the history of min
streIsy and beginning with the Chfisty
company Of 1S49. This is quickly over and
the real part of the entertainment is on.
This is called THE Crimson Trellis.' from
the setting Of the ensemble and the quite
brilliant costumes of the massed black
faced artists. In this part there occur half
a dozen solos, noteworthy among which
were those by John p. Rogers, Vaughn
Comfort and VIII Oakland, although John
King and Earl Benham scored equal popu-
lar favor.
On comes George Evans singing a ditty
entitled The Good Old Days" which Is
rather more clever than the ordinary top
ical verses. He follows with a monoIoEue.
which is funny enough, but he did really
more artistic work in the last part Of the
performance, a thoroughly amusing bur
lesque called THE Firemen's Picnic.'
Part II Of the evening is pure Conan
esque. There is dancing galore by various
members Of the company dressed as col
ored girls or pickaninnies, and the ginger
and snap of these dancers is plainly de-
rived from the young man whose chief
strength outside his own dancing is in
making others dance with great apparent
zip and zest, In this part of the program
also appears a feminine impersonator
named Scott, than whom the famous Ju-
Ian Eltlnge is no better. So far as a per-
former of this kind can be liked by most
men Scott will be liked.
Evans holds the center Of the stage most
Of the third part, but Sam Lee, as Monk
Anderson, a bad Niger and Vaughn
Comfort, as the fire chief, also do highly
creditable work. The entertainment will
be seen through Saturday, with a matinee
that day.

At the TheaterS

"The -RtnEmaster' at the Burwood.
An old love theme was worked out In
TT Ringmaster" at the Burwood last
night by a competent cast. The trouble
was started in the heart OF the financial
district OF New York City, changed to the
deck OF an o~cean-going yacht and bach
again to Wall street.
The son OF a famous father comes to
this country and falls in love with the
daughter Of the man who holds the whip
hand In financial affairs. The woman puts
him aside until he has shown his worth by
doing things. He sallies forth and begins
operations against some Of the Ringmast-
er's pet schemes. His c~lean-cut methods
carry him through to success and he wins
out in the end against all opposition and
shows up some OF the iniquitles of the
stock market methods.
All parts in the cast were well taken
and the third act gave the principals an
opportunity to show their worth. which
they did not miss. II. s. Northrup. as the
lover and the man Of affairs, was equally
good, and Harry ID. Crosby. as the crafty
ex-senator, gave a new conception Of how
that part should be played.

woman, Miss Olive Porter, who gained her
expert knowledge Of the operations Of the
street from several years service In a
brokerage office, The play runs the rest

The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-12

The time is near at hand when Morris avenue, the wholesale street of Birming- ham since the birth of the city, is to be resigned to it's deserved place among the worthless and ancient alleys and deserted side streets of Greater Birmingham. The dirty squalid, narrow quarters to which the wholesale district has for so long a the relic of dead and forgotten past, forsaken in the rapid growth of the city for which 1t once served the purpose of a trade center.
 Morris avenue is at last being aban- doned by the wholesale merchants. The tide of emigration is moving northward and eastward toward the newly discov- cred promised land-First avenue. The denizens of the dark and narrow back street are beginning to realize that Great too roomy to allow her wholesale district to be cooped up within the confines of Morris avenue.
 The avenue has long been considered inadequate as a wholesale street. It measures barely 50 feet in width, including the six-foot sidewalks, and in the early hours of the morning is absolutely inn passable because of the presence of the innumerable vehicles that block the way. The thoroughfare was once the bed of a creek that wound it's way among the will derness of Jones valley. It is consequent

 Others Advocate the Plan.

Among the other merchants who ex- pressed themselves as being advocates of the plan are o. E. Kenimer, of the Keni- mer-Irwin Shoe company; T. w. Black ford, district manager of the Cudahy Packing company; R. Schembs. manager of Morris 6 Co.,; c. c. Snider, the to- bacconist; l.. c. Love, district manager Armour & Co.,; l.. R, Shirk and w. l.. Murdoch, brokers, and others.
 By January 1 all the firms mentioned will have taken new quarters on First avenue. The Collins Grocery company, c. F. Bell, c. c. Snider, L. R. Shirk and w. L. Murdock will occupy the new build ings by October l. while the Cudahy and Morris Packing companies will be estab- lished by November 15. The Armour build ing will be completed and occupied by April 15, 1910, by which time 1t is expected that a large number of other wholesale merchants will have decided to remove to the new district.
 The abandonment of Morris avenue and the establishment of new quarters for a, wholesale district on First avenue marks an important step in the expansion of Greater Birmingham With the ample new room for development the wholesale trade of Birmingham will be given an enormous advantage over past conditions. The entrance into the new district should be an important factor in the growth of the greater city.

1t to the majesty of a great city. Unlike the present wholesale street it offers every opportunity for expansion,-an ex- pansion that has been progressing since the foundation of Birmingham and which has of late been handicapped by the lim- itations of Morris avenue.
 The street measures 100 feet in width exactly twice that of Morris avenue The stream of drays and various vehicles that congest the wholesale district may be amply accommodated at all times in the roomy new quarters. During the morning hours and especially on Satur- day the avenue now in use Is literally packed with wagons, mainly those of truck farmers who como to the city to dispose of their wares. AS the manager of one of the Morris avenue packing houses said, it is almost an impossibility for the local firms to have their drays driven to their doors. so great Is the number of conveyances and so narrow is the street.
 When the new quarters are In use all this will have been changed. The wide and spacious First avenue and Its inter secting streets will furnish an abundance of room for all peddlers and vendors who wish to market their produce
 New Buildings on the Avenue.
 Although the wider streets in the new quarter constitute an almost immeasur- able advantage the greatest improvement will be found in the handsome and mod ern buildings that have been and are to be erected. Among others will be noted the building occupied by the firm of Goodall Brown Co.,which is shown In the accompanying cut. This structure, the first to be occupied by a whole sale firm on First avenue, is an orna- ment to the new district Among the other firms that will shortly occupy new buildings on the avenue are c. C. Snider & Co., tobacconists; the Armour Packing company, the packing house of Morris &s Co.,. the Cudahy company, c. F.

been taken when all the wholesale mer- chants now located on Morris avenue re- move to the new quarters on First ave- nue. The sanitary condition of the pres ent wholesale district, while not partic- ularly alarming is by no means ideal. The presence of produce houses Is natural ly not in favor of good sanitation, but conditions will be immensely improved when larger and more adequate quarters are in use.
 "On the proposed new wholesale street conditions are most admirable for good sanitation. The new buildings that have been and are to be erected will i'll long-felt want; they will be roomy and adequate, and, being constructed along modern lines of sanitation, will be greatly superior to the old buildings now in use in use are old and inadequate and most of them are in very insanitary condi- tion. The fioorings are the chief cause for concern. Many Of these buildings have not been renovated for years, and are badly in need of being fitted with new floors.
 T consider the movement that has been started for the removal of the whole sale district to First avenue to be an excellent plan The realization of the plan will be of the greatest benefit to the public health.''
 What First Avenue Is.
 The accompanying illustrations shows a contrast between the two streets that needs not be brought to notice. First avenue is a thoroughly modern highway in every respect, one that will do all cred
