WEATHERLY WRITES
 MORE ON CONTRACT

Commissioner Weatherly issued the fol-
 lowing yesterday in support of his fla
 vorable view of the new contract be- tween the city and the Birmingham Rail
 way, Light and Power Co.,:
 bfrst-llnder the new rates small resi-
 dential consumers burning their lights
 less than go hours will receive q net Iate of 9la cents per K. ". hour as against
 10 9-l0 cents under the present rates. This
 is a positive, fixed reduction of 12 per
 cent. Every consumer, both large ant
 small, must necessarily receive a redue-
 tion of not less than l. per cent
 Second-An examination of the bills of several hundred residents on the southside shows that the present average lighting rate of the citizens of that section is 10ls cents. This is a 1215 per cent discount from the 12 cent rate, and shows that the arerage rate is an exact mean between the 10 per cent discount applying to 9 K. W. hour consumers and the 15 per cent discount applying to 9 to 150 K. W. hour consumers.
 Third-An examination of these bills shows that under the new rates, the average rate will be approximately 9 cents, showing that. experts and theo- rists to the contrary a number of custo- mers actually burn their lamps over a0 hours in residences. The reduction from 10la cents to cents per K. w. hour is q 14 per cent reduction.
 Fourth-An examination of the bills of
 the commercial consumers of the Bir
 mingham Railway, Light aild Power com-
 pany shows that under the new rates the average rate paid by the small commer-
 cial consumers, will be about 6.S5 cents
 per K. w. Hour, reduction of 26 per
 cent from the average rate of 914 cents. Fifth-as stated in a report, the general
 purport of the new rates appears to be
 to devise schedule which will reduce
 the rates over the city as a whole about F per cent, that is about one-sixth that is from F to a 10 cent base and to so formulate the rate that each consumer will pay his equitable proportion of the cost of production

UNIVERSAL PEACE |S TIE SUBJECT IF HENRY PATTERSON Noted Kentucky Editor to Deliver Address Here
 December g SUBJECT CLOSE TO
 SPEAKERS HEART Concerted Effort Is Being Made in Favor of Ratification of Treaty
 Between United States,
 England and France

Col Henry W. Watterson, the brilliant editor of the Louisville Courier-Journai' will make an address in Birmingham De- cember g, in favor of the ratification of the peace and arbitration treaty between the United States and the governments of Great Britain and France.
 The noted Kentucky editor is one of the foremost advocates of universal peace through arbitration, and in reference to the treaty pending between the United States, England and France, he states that with the treaty living document, the possibility of war will be exceedingly remote.
 Colonel Watterson is to make 10 ad- dresses in behalf of the treaty the first of which will be delivered in New York in the near future. At Cooper union, he will be followed by AndAew Carnegie who is also earnestly in favor of the adoption of the treaty Several southern cities will also be visited by Colonel Wat terson.
 To the treaty between the United States on the one hand and France and England on the other, both of the latter nations have given their approval. The treaty has received the ratification of the lower house of Congress. and will be presented to the Senate early next year. Colone Watterson and others leading the fight 1T favor of the treaty believe that nothing will be able to check the sentiment in its favor.
 While various orators are touring the country in support of the treaty. persona appeals are being made by the Citizens National committee of which Joseph H Choate is chairman, and Charles w. Fair banks, Adlai stevenson, Alton B. Parker and William Jennings Bryan are vice chairmen. Interest in the peace pact is nation wide.
 Colonel Watterson has made several other visits to Birmingham where he is well known. That he will make an ad- dress in Birmingham on a subject of vita interest and one very close to his owr heart, means that Birmingham will heal the distinguished visitor at his very best

PLANNING SALE 0F
 RED CROSS SEALS
Enthusiasm Shown at Yes terday's Meeting-Big
 Sale Expected

Enthusiasm prevailed at the meeting held yesterday by the women who have been appointed as charmen of the Red conducted through the week beginning December II by the Women's Auxiliary of the Jefferson County Tuberculosis asso- citation. The progress reported by each chairman indicates that the largest num- Der of seals yet sold in this city will be disposed of this Christmas.
 The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Richard Johnston, president, and it was decided that every effort will be made to make the purchase of the seals merely voluntary and avoid any embarrassment should any one be requested to buy the seals feel indisposed to comply. The of flee building system, which will be a de- posit of seals with many of the firms having headquarters in the down town buildings, will be put into effect under the supervision of Mrs. Charles De Bar deleben. Mrs. Willard Wilson has charge of the distribution of the seals to the fac tories where they will be left on sale for several days.
 The offer of the use of the postoffice building made by the treasury depart ment of the United States will by gladly accepted and booth established there will be managed by a strong committee. The Red Cross posters which are prettier than ever this year have been pasted on the billboards around the city through the kindness of Ben Theis of the bill pos ters' association. Neat little envelopes with a number of seals inclosed will be mailed to many friends of the auxiliary members for their assistance in the sale.
 Miss Mary Lou Cobb, chairman of the girls committee, reported that 50 girls had accepted the invitation to sell seals at the various stalls of the city.
 Next week the moving picture theatres will begin their run of the special Edison photo play 'The Awakening of John Bond,' that Is counted on as very ma terial agent in the success of the Red Cross sale.

FIVE DAY POULTRY
 SHOW IS OPENED First Day of Exhibit Is Big
 Success ARE OVER HOO BIRDS White Orphington Breed Leads in Numbers-Judge Simmons Ar rived Last Night and Be-
 gins Work Today
ARE OVER HOO BIRDS

The opening day of the five day
 poultry show at 2111 Second avenue yesterday, under the auspices of the Alabama Poultry association, proved to be all that the most optimistic of the officers had hoped for. Consider ing the fact that the most important part of the exhibit, the placing of the ribbons and awarding of the cash premiums, has not yet been effected,
 the first day was very encouraging to the association and gave impetus to the. idea of establishing the show as an annual institution.
 The number of entries which total over HOO birds and pet stock have
 been provided for on two floors of the display building and specimens of the best breeds from other states are to be seen there. The announcement was made yesterday that the educa- tional phase of the show would consist of practical explanation of the fine points governing the selection of the
 best cockerel exhibited by an Alabama breeder. This exhibitor will receive the silver cup, donated by the Progress
 sive Farmer, next Thursday evening by Judge R. l.. Simmons, judge of the exhibit. The name of the owner and description of the bird chosen as Ala bama's most perfect specimen will be given by Judge Simmons at this time. The lecture, which will be illustrated by using the birds themselves, will be given on the second floor in an inn ,J especially for this address. The req sons that discriminate in the choice of prize chickens between those that are not from the same strain will be eX- plained in detail by Judge Simmons for the benefit of those who are in- terested in poultry.
