ID MOVE COLLEGE
 ID BIRMINGHAM

Mobile, February 10.-(Special) )-News of the alleged attempt to remove the med ical department of the University oI Ala bama, the Mobile Medical college, from Mobile to Birmingham has raised storm Of protest in this city. notwithstanding the assertion that Carnegie will give $1,- 900 900 as an inducement in case the col lege is removed, and the report is not generally credited. That there will be great opposition to the plan to remove the college from this city there is no doubt. pr. Sanders, state health officer, who has been in the city for several days past. left yesterday supposedly for Mont gomery. where 1t is believed he has gone in connection with the proposed removal of the college. Other physicians tonight expressed the belief that the report was without foundation, and stated that the removal of the college could hardly be se- riousy considered in view of the mag nif1cent equipment here and the facilities for study which Mobile afforded.

 "I don't know about the art of hurdy- gurdy playing said MT. Howe, quite indifferent to my persifage. 'but I'll tell | you what I do with the victrola. I have some beautiful records-one particularly the trio from the last act of Faust which Is sung by Caruso, Farrar and Journet. I accompany this record with the piano player and 1t is really very artistic and beautiful. I give it at nearly all of my recitals and it is always appreciated. And. by the way, at my recital this afternoon. Mrs. Edna Goeckel-Gussen, who is one of your most accomplished pianists, is going to assist with the programme. She is to play the first plano part to the Arensky Suite and I shall do the solo work with the Player Piano. Miss Myra Olive, who will sing group of songs. will also be accompanied by the Player-Piano. You have no idea how many vooalists use mo- chanical music as their accompanist. It means so much to the singer who cannot play his or her own accompaniments and you know very we'll that accompaniment playing nowadays is an art all of it's own"

 ''Why Chopin-especially?" asked.

 A Waterway to the Gulf
 This brings me to a matter of tremen- dous importance to the future prosperity of Birmingham-to question which, while given considerable prominence a few years ago, has not in recent years had the consideration it's importance de- mands.
 Gentlemen. the matter I wish to em- phasize Is not visionary scheme. it is not pipe dream but it Is practical, and is a project that promises more to Bir- mingfam's prosperity than any single factor. I refer to waterway to the gulf, via Village creek and the Warrior river. Those who have given this matter care- full study and consideration declare that the practicability of this project has been thoroughly established The feasibility of the plan has been pronounced by the best engineering talent within our state; further. and what means vastly more in the estimation of the public at large, a survey was actually made by the United States government of this proposed waterway to the gulf, Under the direction of one Of It's most competent engineers.

The Leicester hospital. founded by that same favorite of Queen Eliza both, as . home for old retainers, is interesting. I think most of all we enjoyed the wood-paneled kitchen, when a roaring ire threw bright light on the burnished copper pots.
 From our room in the hotel we could hear the clear chimes of St. Mary's playing different tune every day. Tom Moore's Minstrel Boy rang out very we'll one day There IS a Inc chapel in the church. second only to Henry vII.'s in Westminster, and there lies the Earl of Leicester with the one wife who outlived him. and who chose to be buried with him rather than with her second husband. One bronze monument to an earl of noble character Is of beautiful work manship. Every Saturday, in accord ance with an old beQuest. loaves of bread are given to the poor who come to the church; and at one service In September every member of the con- gregation Is given loaf of bread.
