TENNESSEE COMPANY
 SHOWS LIBERALITY
Corporation Makes Donation of $500 to Tuberculosis Camp on
 Red Mountain

An encouraging response to the ap- peal of the Birmingham Anti-Tuber- culosis society for funds to assist in maintaining patients at the Red noun tain camps was received Wednesday in the form of check for $500, donated without solicitation by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company through Frank H. Crockard, vice pres ident and acting president of that com pany.
 This donation is made just at an op- portune time when there are a number of applicants who are affected with tuberculosis who are seeking admit tance to the camps of the society, but owing to lack of funds have been de- layed in entrance to the treatment at the camps The contribution is one of the largest single donations ever received by the society and is highly appreciated.
 Mrs. Ben F. Roden has also notified Secretary McGrath of the association that she will equip a ward in the new sanitarium for advanced patients, making a total of nine who have vol unteered to completely furnish rooms. There now remains only three wards that must be endowed or furnished, the new sanitarium containing 12 rooms. Mrs. Roden endows ward in memory of her husband.

For the first time since being sworn in as railroad commissioners the mem- bers of that body were in Birmingham yesterday. They were en route to Mont gomery from Attalla, where a session was held with officers of the Alabama Great Southern railroad. President Charles Henderson and Associates Leon McCord and Frank Julian, who compose the commission, were here for several hours.
 The new commission has taken hold of tho work in hand, but the trip to Bir- mingham and Attalla was the first official journey that has been taken since the new board went into office. At Attalla, where they investigated the need of a new depot. they met Vice President T. c. Powell, General Manager Horace Baker, General Agent L. Sevier, General Super intendent H. c. Harris, General Counsel A. G. Smith and other officials of the Alabama Great Southern. The matter was threshed out thoroughly, and the commission will probably take action at an early meeting.

The railroad interests in the state, it is stated. have been impressed all the while with the personnel of the new commits sion, believing. that all their interests were safe in their hands,

 VISIT TO THIS CITY

About 50 young women from the works of the Nationally Cash Register company in Dayton, O., were passengers on the Louisville and Nashville yesterday for New Orleans They are to attend the Mardi Gras festivities in the Crescent City on an advertising commission, ac- cording to the statement made here. The girls fiocked the street yesterday while the train was in the depot and purchased post cards and other souvenirs by the score to send back to their friends. They seemed to be infatuated with the south and immensely pleased with Birmingham. They did not fail to stop passers-by and ask questions about the city, and gave vent to expressions of amazement over the sights of Birmingham. They were all surprised that Birmingham was in reality what it has been said to be, and they de- clared their intention of boosting when they went back home.
 The young women were in charge of of- flcers of the company, who are giving them a long trip to the Crescent City. They occupied a special sleeper on the Louisville and Nashville southbound.

MANY ARE GOING
 ID MARD| GRAS

Railroad passenger trains through Bir- mingham yesterday were crowded with passengers en route to the Mardi Gras festivities in New Orelans and Mobile. They were principally northern people, and came from points on the various lines where the weather is sure enough cold. The Louisville and Nashville trains yesterday were operated in five sections sAuthbound. while the Queen and Cres- cent route carried several extra cars on their regular trains and operated in ad- dition four specials.
 The crowds this year are said to be very much larger than those of any sea- son in the past. Not even 'in 1907, when everyone possessed the wherewithal, did the passenger trains carry such crowds to the pleasure grounds during Mardi Gras as yesterday.
 The indications seem to be that Mo- bile is coming to the front in the cele- bration to be held there. While thousands attend in Mobile annually, New Orleans usually gets the major portion of visitors. However, the trains yesterday carried about as many passengers for one city as for the other.
 The fast train over the Queen and Cres- cent last night was operated in two sec tions, while the Louisville and Nashville this morning will be of extra size.
 The Birmingham people have not start ed yet in earnest There have been a few local folk leaving for the two, coast cities but the greatest local exodus is expected tomorrow and as late as Sun- day.

Dr. H. A. Elkourie Delivers Eloquent
 Address For the Occasion

Before an audience that packed the Red Mems hall to it's utmost capacity, Chehoo Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men, cele- brated the birthday of George Wash ington last night. MT. Frank s. Address, who presided, outlined the purposes of the celebration and introduced the speak CT of the evening, Dr. H. A. Elkourie.
 Dr. Elkcurie was unusually forceful and was often interrupted with applause.
 "Idealists prior to Washington had im- agined, dreamed and written concerning tlre unselfishnes sof public heroes and beneficiaries," he said, but it was not known that such unselfishness could pos sibly be the attribute of a human until the Father of His Country had spent his life. He ranks with Ahmes of Egypt, with Moses of the Semites and with Peter the Great of Russia. Stern to the utmost exactitude, yet kind and emotional; pa tient as the sphinx, he watched for the ripe moment and became a Wellington He was born to conquer, to lead, deliver and reign"

MANY AGREE WITH
 CAPTAIN BOYD
GRAY AND NUMEROUS OTHERS
 OF OPINION THAT CITY
 SHOULD GET MORE THAN
 THIRD OF LICENSE /

The letter of Capt. Romaine Boyd to Senator Hugh Morrow, pointing out the unfair division of dispensary profits as contemplated In the Morrow disepnsary bill was the cause of much comment around the city hall and elsewhere yes- terday.
 As the general sentiment of the city seems to be for dispensaries, and as the MOTION bill to be drafted is expected to become a law, the people have recognized the hazard that is offered to Birmingham 1T the bill goes through as now proposed.
 Ex-Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray yesterday indorsed the position assumed by Captain Boyd in his letter to Senator Morrow. Governor Gray said he did not think one-third of the profits of the pro- posed dspensaries would be sufficient for Birmingham, as the expenses to be incurred by the city in meeting the re- ouirements of. the bill would be greater than the money secured by the city As the matter now stands there is nothing that can be done in opposition to the bill in general way. However, it Is said the matter, will be taken up with Senator Morrow with view of securing his con sent for a more equitable distribution of the money. It is generally known that MT. Morrow is acquainted with the fact that Birmingham is in receptive mood when it comes to question of money and his friends declare there is no one better informed as to what Birmingham actually requires in operating a city government. For this reason 1t is the opinion that when his attention is called to the proposed division of money he will arrange so that Birmingham will be better cared for than is now generally understood to be the case.
 In addition to Governor Gray, there were number of prominent men who in dorsed the idea that the division was un- fair and it is probable they will confer with Senator Morrow about the measure. Alderman Walter Moore, who has been on the city finance committee for a num- Der of terms. thinks that one-third of the proposed revenue is not sufficient for Birmingham to perform all the work re- quired under the proposed law.

COLORED SECTION
 HAS SHOOTING BOUT

Red Bay, February 22.-Considerable excitement was created last night in the colored district owing to the fact that notwithstanding characters had fired into the homes of certain colored families Marshal Cox reports that band of youngsters had been seen going in the direction of the place where the shoot ing occurred at the hour of midnight. The shooting did not take place until about o'clock in the morning.
 Some say that the perpetrators tanked themselves with corn juice and re- turned by the way of the homes of these colored people. After fastening a string to the bottom of window and making noises to see the occupants run they be- gan to fire into the house. Fortunately no one was injured, but some china ware was broken by the flying shot. One of the colored women and two little boys escaped a close shot that entered tho window and struck the wall near them.
