VETERANS LEAVE
 BY THE HUNDREDS Frisco Alone Operated Six Special Trains Out of
 Birmingham

The Terminal station yesterday remind ed those who visited that place of the Confederate reunion in Birmingham sev- eral years ago. Throughout the entire day the station was filled with Confeder- ate veterans en route to Little Rock to meet again with their comrades and re- tell the stories of the great war.
 The officials at the Terminal stated that approximately 1000 veterans passed through Birmingham en route to the re- union. The multitude of old warriors in- cluded Gen. George Harrison of Opelika, who is commander of the state troops, and other distinguished soldiers of the civil war.
 Gen. A c. Oxford of Birmingham, his staff and sponsors, left last night. accom- panied by large delegation of veterans from Birmingham. The Frisco lines oper- ated six special trains from Birmingham. They were made up of special cars brought to Birmingham from various cities and turned into special trains here. Beginning at noon yesterday, when the Southeastern limited left for the west, train after train pulled out of the Ter mnal loaded to the guards with light hearted veterans happy once more in the events of the long ago.
 The reunion at Little Rock opens today. The indications point to a large attend ance, according to Frisco line officials, who are in constant touch with the situ- ation. The reunion, it is stated, will be attended by a greater number this time than formerly because of the advanced date providing cooler days for the vet erans.
 The last special train for Little Rock on this account was operated from Birming- ham at late hour last night. The trains all go through Memphis, where 1t is stated entertainment is being offered the jour- neying veterans

 Parish Limits
THE CHURCH'S MISSION

The Rev. w. N. Claybrook, rector of St. Mary's on the Highlands, yesterday morning made formal announcement to his congregation of the call which he has received to St. Marks Episcopal church at San Antonio, Tex. He stated that he had the matter under consid- eration and would let his answer be known as soon as possible.
 Much as love my work here" said MT. Claybrook, speaking from the read ing desk, this call has come to me in such a way that I must give it serious consideration. It Is an exceptionally large field for work, the largest in fact which I know anything about and the call is so urgent that I feel I should say to you that am giving it very se- rious consideration
 "In this connection I want to say that while I have had very warm co-opera- ton in the work here and we have ac complished some excellent results all have not done as much as they could do. In the less than three years that I have been with you we have ap- preached spirit of unity but we have not yet reached the point which should desire.
 FI want to repeat what I said to you when I came among you This church must be a dynamo generating the power for the extension of the gos- pei beyond the limits of the parish. want no parish that is satisfied with it. self; Is willing to sit still and do noth- ing.
 "Furthermore. I cannot say too forci- bly that this is not Protestant church. It is the Catholic church of God and not mere Protestant denomination and am a minister of that Catholic church. of God with authority conferred after the manner ordained by Jesus Christ himself,
 T repeat this because I want my po- sition thoroughly understood. The call to another field will have very careful consideration and I shall let you have my decision at the earliest moment pos fsible."
 The sermon at St. Mary's yesterday morning was preached by the Rev. J. H Harvey, rector of Grace church, Shef- field.

Birmingham as conceived by Judge Lane sioners for some few days. The expert, MT. Lide. talked to me Informally about the plan and then talked to the other members of the board. In private dis cussion we commissioners agreed to the feasibility of the lighting plant and also agreed that the matter should be thor oughly undertaken. l, for one. am will ing to enter into any conservative ex- pense to save Birmingham the $5s,O0O per year paid out for electric light. Later. if we can legally and financially do so, am in favor of selling the current to the citizens of this city unless our pro- posed rates are met on 6 competitive basis by the public utility corporations.
 No Intention to Sell
 "So far as I am advised there has been absolutely no effort or move on the part of the commission to sell the plant at North Birmingham or any part of 1t ex- cept some old rusty boilers which have been advertised in the regular way.
 How the erroneous impression could have gone out that such was contemplat- ed by the board Is utterly past my un- derstanding. As view this light propo- sition the board will make a trip out there and look 1t over. If Mir. Lide, who is an expert, and a most interesting gen. tleman, can show us where this matter is technically feasible, shall unhesitat- ingly vote for it. I am not attempting to give the views of the commission upon that question, but my own personal ones, which I never hesitate to express for the p .lblic information.
 This light proposition is not any c;- for. 10 inflict injury upon any public service corporation. The city of Birming- ham Is paying s5s.0oo per year approxi- mately for light. If we can arrange the North Birmingham plant for 5000 or more to do away with this tremendous charge. then I think 1t is a duty we owe the city to go about such work immediately.
 There cannot be any question as to the right of the city to save every cent legitimately that can be saved. For that reason I see no trouble nor do feel any apprehension but that the light question will be threshed out to the good of the sitisens of Birmingham"
