MANY APPLICANTS
 TO TRAFFIC CLUB
Railroad and Industrial Organization Had Regular Meeting
 Last Night

A regular meeting of the Traffic Trans portation club was held last night, Presi- dent l.. Sevier presiding. The club passed upon score of applications which had been made during the last few days and the applicants were elected to member ship in the organization. Those attending the meeting discussed various railroad topics, but no action was taken of public interest.
 The most satisfactory feature of the meeting to the railroad and industrial traffic men was the fact that so many applications had been made to the club. Its growth so far has been little short of marvellous and this has brought the club into the widest attention
 The club will fill long felt want in the traffic problems of this district, accord ing 10 those interested, and help secure 'a closer bond of relation between the shippers and railroad officials In addi- tioh, it Is the ultimate plan of the officers to create a permanent home for the or ganization not unlike a regular club, where out-of-town railroad men and local people will be extended hospitalities ' This will be taken up by the house com mittee appointed by President Sevier whenever it is believed the time is oppor- tune for such movement.

BUREAU PLANS
 BEGINNING TO ASSUME SHAPE

been found to be a most successful plan The effectiveness of the bureau is great ly enhanced by the support it receives from the railroads, who realize recipro- cal advantages from it.
 If the proposition is approved by the board of directors the committee will straightway set about raising the s2O0,- GOO guarantee fund requisite for it's oper- ation. The fund will be solicited by subscription, but there will be in reality no cash as the only necessity is for the guarantee. In other cities of 35,0O0 inhabitants and thereabout guarantee funds of as much as $6Oo,000 have been subscribed, and in many instances tho original amount has been doubled year ly because of the absolute safety of the methods of making the locations of new industries.
 The bureau feature of the committees work has been receiving most of their attention. They are greatly interested in the scheme and feel certain of the establishment of such an organ in Br- mingham, with the hearty cooperation on the part of the representatives of the different railroads.

The executive officers of the Fourth National Good Roads congress have mail ed invitations to Alabamas two United States senators and nine congressman as well as a large number of senators and congressman from other states, in- viting them to attend the Fourth Ma tional Good Roads congress, which meets In Birmingham on May B to 26. Senator Bankhead is a director of this congress and it was his influence and able speech made in Oklahoma City last October that secured this congress for Birmingham. It is expected that at least 100 congress- men and senators will be in attendance on this congress. The flood of letters and inquiries that are coming in shows the deep interest In the same. The gov ernors of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee have positively accepted the invitations to be present and have agreed to appoint 100 delegates from their respective states. Governor Ben W. Hooper has written the following letter to Secretary J. A. Rountree, accepting the invitations:
 Nashville, March Il, 1911. MT. J. A. Rountree, Secretary Fourth

CROWD WILL 60
 FOR FINAL BOUT
Many Local Citizens Have Interest in Final Work
 of Legislature

large delegation of Birmingham men, law makers and others interested in leg islation, will leave this morning over the Louisville and Nashville for Montgom- cry to attend the closing days of the Alabama legislature. The law makers have about ten days to complete their labors, unless an extra session is called by Governor O'Neal and for this reason, if no other, the number of attending citizens from Birmingham will be greater than that of the past few days.
 Ii is expected that the present weeks deliberations will see final action upon the mine law bill, the viaduct measure, applying almost wholly to Birmingham, the adoption of some kind of legislation looking to the solution of the prohibition question in Birmingham, the establish ment of a state highway commission, and various legislation actions which serve to attract interest in Birmingham.
 The most apt students of the political game confess their mystification over the final result on the viaduct measure, as we'll as that legislation applying to the prohibition laws. It Is said around the city that the viaduct bill will be given another hearing this week, by the committee of which Representative Percy of this city Is chairman. It is expected that some final action will be taken, either giving the city a right to close streets permanently or declining to act in the matter. Should the former result, the city council will give permission to the railroads to go ahead with the via duct construction on First avenue. It is stated that if the bill is not acted upon fayorably then the railroads will be re- quested to take the initiative in the mat ter. So intense is the interest in the fate of the viaducts that quite crowd will probably attend the committee meeting, which will hand out judgment upon tho measure.
 Senator Morrow. 1t is gathered. will re- sume activities on his dispensary bill tomorrow It is before the senate and he win personally seek its passage through the house. The bill provides dis pensaries for Birmingham, granting In addition privileges to cafes, restaurants and clubs to serve light wines, beer and such drinks. This legislation is awaited with intense interest in Birmingham be- cause of the division of opinion as to what course is the most adaptable to the needs of this city.
 It is stated that unless the new pro- posed mine laws are enacted this week there will be no further effort made by the operators association of this city to get action. And it Is added that the Birmingham district would lose an oppor- tunity for a progressive step should the bill meet with unfavorable considera- tion at its finale.
 Among those who will leave here this morning will be: Senator Hugh Morrow, Representative Walker Percy, Represent atives Mcdonald, Motion, Barnard, has tis and O'Neill. Lee c. Bradley, Jesse Stalings, Captain J. V. Allen, w. A. Gibson, Jones G. Moore. J. Q. Smith, as- sistant city attorney, and others.

MISS ADDAMS TO START
 SETTLEMENT WORK HERE


 to the uplift of the Greek citizens of Chicago and elsewhere in the United States and it was in recognition of her services that the local Greeks were prompted to make an appreciatory of fering.
 The following is a copy of Miss Ad- dams letter of thanks:
 May l ask you to transmit to the officers and members of the Young Creeks Progressive association my sim cert appreciation of the very beautiful loving cup which you presented to me on their behalf last night?
 T think l have never received a testimonial which touched me more deeply. For years I have had many warm friends among the Creeks of Chicago. Upon my return to Hull House l shall invite them to be pres ent at the installation of the cup in the Hull House dining room, and at that time l shall take great pleasure in telling them of the warm welcome accorded me by the Greeks of Bir- mingham.
 T was stirred again, as I have been in Chicago. by the recital of the names of your ancestry and moved once more to hope that our American citizenship may receive from the gallant con1- pany of young Greeks who have come to these shores some touch of that old heroism and high devotion,
 May I also express my gratitude for the roses which the charming 1it- tie girl bestowed upon me. With all good wishes for the continued pros5 perity of the Greeks of Birmingham. ] am very sincerely yours.

regular meeting of the City Coun- ell will be held tomorrow night.
 The meeting is expected to be routine in nature, with the possible exception of a communication from Mayor Culpepper Exum regarding the changes made in the minutes, which Captain Boyd, city at torney, has suggested should be concurred in by the council in order to make the changes perfectly regular on the records.
 The change made in the minutes. it will be remembered, recently caused quite a little discussion. The charges publicly made by Auditor Petersen which pointed out that the changes were IT, regular called for an examination by City Attorney Boyd at the express wish of Mayor Exum.

Change In Minutes May
 Come Up Before Council

Boyd held that the increase in salary already drawn by the officials was illegal and the city. by action at law, could recover the money unless the council did make the correction through a reso- lution.
 Mayor Exum gave out statement fol- lowing the report of Captain Boyd, to the effect that he would put the question up to the council in line with the suggestion made by Captain Boyd.
 It Is said to be the intention of the City Council to authorize the change and legalize the salary increases of the officials. This will bring forth some ob- jections from the minority of the council which, viewed In the light of past events. will not seriously interfere with the ulti- mate designs of the majority
