 cided Upon ABOUT 300 PLATES Selection of Toastmaster Is Left to Banquet Committee-Pr0minent
 Men of the Nation to
 Be Invited

To have one of the most elaborate dinner events ever given in Birming- ham at the Country club on November 2s in honor Of Congressman Oscar w.

Chairman Victor Hanson issued call for Il o'clock in the directors room Of the Chamber of Commerce and every member, with the exception of one was present.
 The chairman stated that the pur- pose of the meeting was to consider general arrangements of the affair in compliment to widely mentioned Bir- mingham candidate for the presidency, the minor details to be adjusted by the sub committes that were named by him last week The first vote taken re- suited in the choice of the Country club IS the setting for the banquet. In- formal discussions with suggestions from various members characterized the meeting.
 It seemed generally understood that covers should be laid for 250 or 300 guests the exact number to be left to the judgment of the invitation commit tee, and the price of each plate to ap- proximate $10. The personnel of the guest list will include Governor O'Neal, the Alabama senators, congressman and other distinguished public men of the state. The closest friends of the guest of honor in national political circles will be extended an invitation to at tend and participate in Birmingham s tribute to her best known citizen.
 It was made very evident by the en- thusiasm of the committee and rapid exchange of individual plans that the banquet will be an important epoch in the history of the city, establishing a precedent for well arranged, well managed and brilliant civic affairs.
 The selection of a toastmaster for the occasion was postponed and was which was augmented by the addition of a new member. F. K. Campbell,

HUNDRED BREAK
 WITH W. J. I. O.
Reports Say l.. & N. Road Will Construct Its Own
 Telegraph Lines

That the Louisville and Nashville in. tends to build It's own telegraph lines over the system and separate that rall- road company from the Western Union Telegraph company was the report here yesterday. The Louisville and Nashville and the Western Union have been as- sociated together for many years, and their relations have. 1t Is understood. been very pleasant.
 It Is said the company, after the con- tract with the Western Union expires, will build a telegraph line to every sta- ton on it's line. That would involve a great amount of money, but it is reported that President Milton II. Smith is de- ternined to break off with the telegraph concern.
 The officials of the companies concerned in the break have issued no official an- nouncement about the trouble. and the ex- act situation is unknown except to those in the inner councils.
 G. R. Calvert, local manager of the Western Union. when asked of the re- ports here yesterday, said he did not have any information as to the reported break. He said that the Louisville and Nashville contract, as Is commonly known, would expire within a few months but that was the extent of his informa- tion.
 The Western Union now handles all the business of the Louisville and Nashville. while the train dispatching wires are used upon leases held by. the Louisville and Nashville.
 The only event of similar character to the reported breach of tho TWO corpora tions is that of several years aso when the Pennsylvania railroad cancelled tAe leases of the Western Union That war went sn fur that the officials of the pennsylvania ordered all poles of the Western Union to be cut down. These instructions were given to each ssc- ton mile of the road and in two hours oh the specified day the Western Union poles were chopped to the earth

Typographical Map

I previously had prepared an accur- ate topograhical map of the entire property, drawn to large scale, on which l projected this thoroughfare, which Dr. Caldwell chrlstened High land avenue" It was then located on the ground as 1t now is by my cousin John A. Miner. whom I engaged for that purpose, and whom regarded one of the best railroad locating engineers in the state. Tn designing this avenue. two objects were kept in view; first to construct an attractive boulevard of ample width, with light grades adapted to horse cars and other similarly drawn vehicles, and second, to so locate it as to give the greatest practicable frontage of lots upon 100 feet and the maximum grade fixed at 3 per cent.
 The tract now known as "Lakeview park was selected for the park. to be made feature of the scheme, and 8 baseball park also was later constructed rear Lakeview-the first. I think, ever constructed in the county.
 
 pIeted about April 1 and contracts were let for grading a 25 foot driveway in the center along the route named, from Eff teenth street and Avenue E, to Twenty ninth street and Avenue G, via Highland avenue. The grading was completed dur ing the summer and snort while later Lakeview park including tho lake was completed. Two springs within the park were piped Into the upper end of the lake md another spring located near the intersection of Highland avenue ana Av- alon street was also introduced into tho lake The grounds within the park were laid off by an old landscape engineer by the name of Caldwell (not related to the doctor)-
 The Elyton Land company. under it's charter, had no authority to build or op- crate street car line, and it had now proceeded about as far as it's authority in that direction extended, The work. therefore, was suspended to await the meeting of the legislature. that of 1Ssi-,s f. obtain this authority.
