The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-03-22

tival have been fixed for the week of May g, concurrenty with the National Good Roads convention May 22-26 the merchants seem more and more inclined to favor the suggestion of Sol Caheen for trade carnival or May festival to con tinue a week and run at the same time as tie music festival and roads con venton. Here are some expressions made yesterday:
 Bert Jacobs, of B. M Jacobs X Bros. ::
 q believe the idea advanced by Mir Ca heen is fine Any movement which is dc signed to bring people to this city IS good. 1 think the festival should be so arranged as to permit it to follow along the good roads convention, the musical festival, thus having three bully attrac- tions here at one time or in succession Richard " Massey president of the Chamber of Commerce: "I indorse heart- fly any movement such as suggested by Mr. Caheen.
 T think every time we bring people
 here it is of wide benefit to the city and | know of no better way than as suggested I would like to see the plan
 worked out
 M V. Joseph of Loveman, Joseph X
 Loeb: q was struck with the clowns,
 the music down town, the bands playing
 continuously.
 And all for the purpose of entertain ing the crowds we expect. I think the suggestion of Mir Caheen could be work ed out fine and I favor it heartily. We
 
 ever to get the people interested and this. l think, could be arranged satis- faetorily."
 John l.. Parker of Parkers Drug Store:
 "I ndorse heartily the movement to have
 spring festival here. I was impressed with the originality and newness of the iGea of Mir Caheen and think careful study of the suggestion will reveal it's entire plausibilty I would be pleased to see this suggestion carried out capably' Robert McDavid "I think a spring carnival along the lines suggested would
 bring great many people here, and would be glad to see it worked out. The idea of holding the crowds visiting us to the center of the town strikes mes as original and an idea which would result pleasantly A. H. Ford. president Chamber of Commerce: q am in hearty accord with any plan to bring visitors to this city. We have an abundance of room for growth and expansion and to widely advertise Birmingham is one of the sure ways of becoming greater. l look with favor upon any plans for pleas ant diversion here calculated to bring into Birmingham a host of visitors. M. IT. Bone of the Southern Railway company:
 q have not looked into the matter of spring carnival here as referring to special railroad rates, but l am of the | opinion that a satisfactory arrange | ment could be made with the local companies to grant an attractive sched- ue. I have no fears along that line, and believe it would result in a great many people attending Sam Blach of J. Blach said: "I do not see a single reason why the trade carnival should not be a great success if undertaken. When the Birmin gham people undertake anything they do it right and this would be the means of attracting many strangers to the city and should make Birmingham greater" Henry Ruff president of the Guar antee Shoe company, said: The trade carnival as proposed by MT. Caheen looks good to me and I am very much in favor of it. I believe that it should be taken up at once by the merchants of Birmingham. Such carnival as proposed by MT. Caheen would benefit Birmingham by attracting strangers within her gates and advertise ths city,

 eral court against the association, which ended unfavorably for him upon the pre- sentation of evidence the he had been paid the sl000O which, as Judge Grubb ruled, constituted complete settlement of the proceeding Mir Clabaugh car ried his complaint to Congress, appearing
  the high cost of living. His case was said to have been so well presented as to call for the dissolution move by the United States, which will be started in earnest within a short time. Inasmuch as the case may be said 10 have originated here, the present evi- dences of action will be received with in- terest.
 MT. Clabaugh. when seen yesterday. said he could not talk about the case now but said he was looking over some of the evidence.
 The dissolution hearing will call to- gether some fine legal talent, as Assistant United States Attorney General Harri- son will be associated with Judge Street in handling the case. Against them will appear Gen. Luke Wright, former am- bassador to Japan. and a national char acter Caruthers Ewing of Memphis will also be in the case from beginning to end.
 The attorneys, it is stated, wanted to compromise the case, but their efforts in that direction have been fruitless.
