Although there is all kinds OF COM
petition in the amusement business in
the city today, the popular little
Orpheum is more than making good.
Their picture programs are by far the
biggest that are being shown in the
city today, which probably accounts
for the many that assemble there
every evening. There are four big

GREATER POPULARITY
 0F CORAL JEWELRY
Proof of 1t Is the Demand at Balke's
 Big Curio Store.

As a result of the announcement two days ago by Balle's Big CuriO store of its large assortment of coral jewelry, there has been a heavy demand for it.. Some of the purchasers, though they had heard of coral jewelry. had not thought much about it, but their at tention having been called to it, they were surprised to notice how beauti- ful it was. The demand for coral beads was especially heavy and purchasers learned that they could get a longer strand of beads there than anywhere else This meant a great deal along with the assurance that the beads are genuine.
 Besides the beads there are brace lets, stick and scarf pins, belt pins, hat pins. brooches and practically every kind of ornament. How cheap these beautiful articles are is a surprise to purchasers.
 Another thing to be taken into con sderation is that cheap as they are they are to be distinguished from what is known as cheap" jewerry; that is jewelry made of the less valuable met als or imitation stones. Coral in all ages has been very popular and skilled workmen have wrought it into the most exquisite and artistic articles.

VIADUCT CONTROVERSY MAY
 COME TO AN END TOMORROW

The final chapter in the viaduct con- troversy Is expected to be closed tomor row. Both the corporate interests and the property owners will appear before the commissioners of Birmingham ad vocating and in opposition to the agree ment. Arguments will be made for 1t by railroad attorneys while Colonel John w. Tomlinson will appear for the property owners who maintain that by the agreement standing.
 Commissioner A. o. Lane will have almost the sole voice in the solution of the question. He Is the only member whose attitude Is unknown upon the proposition. President Exum announced yesterday that he would vote for the agreement Commissioner Weatherly will pass his vote. The vote of Judge Lane, if mo-" is virtually the final point. His negative voice would tie the vote of President Exum, killing the proposition as dead as it's worst enemy could desire.
 The viaduct question has been fought real campaign, however, has been on for several years. It started by frequent grade crossing accidents near Sloss furnace and where the tracks of many railroads cross the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power companys tracks.
 The railroads agreed after many con- ferences to build the viaduct provided

BRAVE CONV|CTS~
 WILL BE FREED Negroes Who Aided in Ban- ner Rescue Work to
 Be PardOned

AS a reward for their valor ana nero ism in saving 12 or more convicts at the Banner mine explosion, Jim Frankiln and Clarence Nicholson, two negro con victs, will be given their liberty by GOV ernor O'Neal today or tomorrow. It was announced yesterday that through the good offices of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company the governor had been ac- ouainted with the services rendered by the two striped men when all was horror and excitement attending the Banner eN- plos1on. The governor was deeply nm pressed with the report upon the work of the two negroes and determined to give them liberty for the good example se' before the other convicts
 The two men never faltered in assist ing in the rescue work and earned the approbation of all the white men who were in touch with the rescuing.
 They were unacauainted with the in- terpretatioh to be placed upoHfheir serV- ices by the officials and were inexpressi- bIv surprised when w. A. Gibson man arer of convicts for the company informed them that Governor O'Neal intended to set them free.
 One of the men was wanted here on another charge, but after hearing of the heroism of the two negroes, Solicitor lief lin agreed to nolle prosse the cases held here.

JUDGE BLACK FINES
 ALLEGED VIOLATORS
Circumstantial Evidence Strongly Against the Wrays and
 Three Others

Judge Hugo l.. Black of the recorders court imposed fines aggregating $7oo yesterday afternoon on five alleged violators of the prohibition laws
 There were two cases each against Richard Wray and c. M. Wray, and one each against w. F. McFadden and J. L. T1ippen. all in the same instance, and still another in a separate case against John Reynolds.
 Dick Wray, G. M. Wray, McFadden and Flippen were all arrested in Dick Wray's place on Morris avenue and Twentieth street by Officers Morgan and Whitfield of the police department. The officers stated that when they en- tered the place there was a commotion among several parties standing over the counter. An empty glass with the smell of whisky was found on the counter, while a flask of whisky was found in a trash can near by.
 The defendants claimed that the mat ter of an empty glass on the counter did not furnish proof conclusive that liquor had been sold, but Judge Black thought differently of the evidence. NcFadden and Flippen we're fined for the actual sale of liquors, while Dick and G. M. wray were fined for owning and controlling the place.
 John Reynolds was fined $loo and costs in separate instance, and there were a number other minor ca ses wh ere fines of $50 and $25 were imposed.

CHAMBER YEAR BOOK
 VERY CREDITABLE
Is Quite Attractive Physically, Sta tistically and in Other
 Ways

The Year Book of the Birming- ham Chamber of Commerce containing the reports of officers and chairmen of committees of the organization for the year 1910 has just come from the print CT and the first copies were issued yes terday.
 Both in design and compilation the Year Book" is one of the most at tractive and creditable publications ever gotten out by the Chamber of Com merce' or any other organization as for that matter. There are 45 pages to the book, neatly enclosed within sepia binding The printing is done in dark brown on a paper of light cream color, and makes a very unique combination with marginal notes printed in red.
 In the front of the publication is a handsome group picture of Richard w. Massey, president of the Chamber of Commerce; A. H. Ford. vice president, Frank Nelson, second vice president; Joseph B. Babb, secretary. and ". A.. Porter treasurer.

the city would close certain streets perpetually, assume abutting property damages and construct the approaches. The council agreed to this proposition after much wrangling. However, to carry out the stipulation about the streets being closed the legislature was appealed to for power to do such an act The legislature conferred the right upon the city to dedicate the streets for that purpose. In the meantime a perfect hurricane swelled in opposi- ton to the agreement from property owners. That grew in strength and came dangerously near resulting in the death of the negotiations.
 Commissioner Weatherly was all the while acting as counsel for the South ern railway and one of the parties to the trade. He was subsequently, ap- pointed a commissioner. President Exum as mayor encouraged the trade and fought for it's passage through the legislature.
 The plan now comes up to Judge Lane for a final affirmation or denial.
 The city Is financially very much crippled, but the railroads to overcome this agreed to loan the city all the money needed to construct the ap- breaches to be paid back in five years without interest.
 It is the conviction of some city hall officials that Judge Lane will deny the agreement and will insist upon the via ducts being constructed under diff ferent plan.

MANY ATTEND THE GR|GGS LECTURES Personal Ideals" and "Abt
 Vogler" Were Tester days Topics

The Griggs lectures, which began at the High school Monday, are being better attended this year than pre- viously, and interest In the two courses offered seems to be at high pitch.
 The Dynamic Character of Personal Ideals" was the topic of the lecture last night and "Browning's Philosophy of Music" was under discussion in the aft ernoon. All the teachers of the Bir- mingham schools, as well as liberal number of lovers of literature in gen. eral, are regular attendants upon the afternoon lectures. That of yesterday was considered particularly illuminat- ing, dealing with Brownings idea of the relation of music with the other arts.
 The poets remarkable philosophy of music is better reflected fin "Abt Vog- Ter" than in any other poem. stated pr. Griggs. The tone of the piece Is dis tinctly musical, the sonorous iambic foot of three syllables being employed to the greatest advantage, together with the artful use of alliteration. Vog- ler's view of life and art>is from the high water standpoint of the artist, according to the lecturer. Art he views as being at it's best in the musical form. The art of the painter and poet is "all triumphant art, but art in obedience to laws,' while figuring in the attachments of the musician lis the finger or God a flash of the will that can, existent behind all laws" God has a few into whose ears lie whispers the poet and painter may reason and welcome, but only the musicians "know."
 Dr. Griggs anaylsis of the poem was such that its hidden beauties were laid bare to all. As an interpreter of Brown ing the lecturer is gaining a reputa- tion here as one whose iucidity. like the brooks, bellies his depth.
