BOY PEDESTRIAN
 LIKES FIREMEN

Albert Lee. the New York 'newsie," who is walking from New York to San Antonio Tex. for prize of s10OOo, thinks that Birmingham f1remen are the best fellows in the land Since he has been in Birmingham the f1remen have regarded him as their own especial property, al- though they have loaned him from ttne to time to the newspaper boys who come around at odd times. ss.
 Since I have been on the road I have not struck bunch of fellows any more congenial than the firemen here. They have treated me royalty and 1 can as- sure them that 1t is appreciated by both myself and the athletic club I am walk ing for," Lee said yesterday afternoon.
 Lee says that travelling alone is much easier than travelling with companions. for then you always have to consider the other fellow By being alone, he says, one can do pretty much as he peases.. He has been by himself since he left some little town in Virginia, where the last two of his companions became severely af- fllcted with a disease that Lee terms "cold feet,'
 The young man says that southern fos- pitaIity is taking care of him and he is having quite an easy time, consider ing all.
 He will leave Birmingham this morn ing for Tuscaloosa. the next stop. From there he will go to Meridian, Miss.

CLUB
 INVITED HERE
Famous Democratic Organi- iZatiOn Will Be Asked to
 Come to Birmingham

Through representation that the Cook County Marching club of Chicago intended to make southern tour in February, President Culpepper Exum of the city commission yesterday off cially invited that organization of prom inent democrats to include Birmingham in the trip.
 Capt. Jack W. Johnson of the Sea- board Air Line asked the official invi- tation to be extended, which action was taken. The marching club is com posed of some of the most prominent democratic leaders of St. Louis. They are accustomed to travel out in special trains to get acquainted with the peo- pie. In presidential election years they are always on the go in some section of the country.
 President EXum, who is personally acquainted with many of the leaders. is very much in hopes that the club will come to this city. He so ex- pressed his views yesterday when the official invitation was extended.
 It Is calculated that to secure the Cook county democrats here would be a good thing for Congressman Oscar a formidable candidate for the demo- cratic presidential nomination The in- fiuehce of that organization of Chicago men Is of great strength for any can didate they favor.
 The proposed trip embraces Cincin- natl, Chattanooga, Nashville, Atlanta and other cities.

ATLANTA COMPAN NOW IN BIRMINGHAM
Decide Magic City Is Better Distributing Center and
 Has More Hustle

Hardening to the call of busy Birming- ham, the James G. Miller company, one of the oldest of its kind in the south. has moved it's official headquarters from At lanta to this city and taken offices on the second floor of the Chamber of Com merce building. The James G. Miller company is manufacturers agent for hardwood and parquet floors, metal weather strips, fly screens, metal and wooden frame screens. Venetian blinds and building materials.
 The officials of the company are: James G. Miller, president; M. J. Miller. Jr., vice president; J. B. Polhill. secretary; R. T. Hardy treasurer. These men com for permanent residences in this city.
 This also means that 30 or more ex- pert workmen in the lines represented by the Miller company will be brought here from Atlanta to be put at work on Birmingham contracts. These men. in many instances. will bring their families to this city and have been in the em- ploy of this concern for several years past, which accounts for their being DrOuHUI neGe bO COillilut tHeiT tiduc,
 The acquisition of the Miller company is regarded as gain for Birmingham and the fact that this city was selected after m experience extending over dec- ade In Atlanta, as the central office of thls firm. Is an evidence of the widespread belief In the future of the Magic City,
 In speaking of theirl debut into the Birmingham business world, NJ. J. Miller, vice president of the company. said yes terday;
 we came to thls city because we be- lieve that the general hustling spirit Is better here and that the opportunities visible In this district for our lines ex- ceed those of the city we have Just left, Another consideration that counted heav- fly in our decision to change was that Birmingham Is more centrally located as the distributing point for the materials to be sent out by us and accessible to more southern territory than Atlanta, Then taking 1t all in all we have been realizing for some time that Birmingham Is Just naturally a greater commercial town than the Georgia metropolis"

MAY USE MOTORS
 FOR STREET WORK Weatherly Believes a Large Saving Can Be Effected
 By This System

The elimination of men and mules and incidentally a saving of about s4O0O per month is the prime reason for. activities on the part of Commis- sioner Weatherly in planning to motor ize the street department. It is said that plans are now being considered with Hubert A. Drennen and other au- tomobile men to secure truck of sut- fcient strength and durability to- ham dle the garbage of this community. The greatest item of cost in the street tfon. If the same rule applies to the street department as has been the case in the fire department it is gathered that a considerable saving will come about.
 It is understood that one motor truck will successfully do the work reason- ably to be expected of three teams of six mules and three drivers. It Is said that even a better record may be se- cured if the proper efficiency of or ganization is arranged for. While no official statement has been given out it is understood that the city contem- plates getting about five or six truck s to handle the street department work.

It was offered to the city for park purposes only at $27,000 approx imately That purchase price carries with 1t a privately constructed water works now used by the citizens of that .neighborhood. MT. Wilkinson said he would feel authorized to sell the land only for the purpose of a park. He explained that If the city intended to use 1t for other purposes he might as well sell 1t for the se5.0o0 and get the change himself. The explanation was made by the commissioners that 1t was only wanted for park purposes. It Is gathered that the commissioners will buy the property of Mr. Wilkin- son at the meeting Tuesday next

ENTICING HAWAIpS LABOR

While Hawaii is pouring out its money to secure people
to perform the bone and sneW labor of its industries it is
apparently allowing an open and easy pathway for smooth
onged agents from the mainland to come here and ence
these workers to other fields.
The present Legislature should do all that is possible,
legally and within reason to bar the gates to these agents.
AT present the license for immigration soliciting is five
hundred dollars. Hawaii does not protect ITSELF no one

be of showing the world that this is
a free country, where the American
principles of freedom and equality
exist, than by educating the alien to
American standards? Why single out
the alien? We are in duty bound to
educate them if they wish it"
Senator ChillingWorth then declared
that if it cost $4,000 to educate a
Hawaiian child the money was wen
spent, and that no one knew better
than himself the handicaps of trying to
secure an education under adverse con-
ditions.
Senator Judd stated that he could re-
ply to the question Of Senator Brown
by stating that other needs could take
what was left when the school needs
are met.
"As for the education of aliens" said
Senator Judd, 'thc only way they can
become of any value to the country is
by education. I am strongly for this
bill"
Makckau then moved to defer the
bill until tomorrow, stating that he
wanted more time to read it over and
was doubtful as to some Of the salary
