In view of complaints made that many visitors to Birmingham this week had been unable to secure hotel accommoda- tions The Age-Herald yesterday secured statements from representatives of a number of hotels. both large and small.
 It appears that practically all of the hotels have had to turn people away, all though every hotel is using cots in every available space to attend to the needs of patrons. With four conventions this week. all largely attended, and the largest crowds in the history of the State Fair the city has been crowded as seldom ever before.
 It is pointed out, however, that Bir- mingham should be equal to any oc- casion, and should be prepared to handle any sized crowds which see fit to come to the city. The conditions this week have renewed the talk of the need for a new hotel on a scale larger than anything now here, and it is understood that there may be some definite information to be given out within the next few days as to the prospects for beginning work on the proposed Fifth avenue hotel.
 Among the expressions secured from local hotel representatives yesterday are the following:
 G. A. Wakefield of the Morris: "We turned away about 100 persons last night. Our writing rooms, parlors and halls have been occupied by cots and we have been crowded to very great extent. The conditions yesterday were about as pressing as they well could be-"
 Clerk Bell of the Metropolitan: we have been crowded to our capacity for the past few nights. Last night we were unable to accommodate our guests. all though cots were everywhere. The num- Der of people here is difficult to esti- mate. We have been filling our rooms every night for the past week. The past few nights we have called into play our halls the parlors and the writing rooms. I have seldom witnessed such business. :"
