DIR. LAMAR TO LEAD
 BAPTIST REVIVAL
Meetings Will Be Held Every Night During the Month
 of June

The Sunday school and First Baptist church have called Dr. H. W. Lamar, formerly of Nashville, to lead revi- val in its auditorium during the entire month of June. The meeting will start June 4, and continue each evening. Prof. Stephen Allsop Is in charge of the music and already has begun work to gather together large choir from the younger members and trained sing CTS. During the coming week a meet ing each evening at 8 o'clock will call the members to prayer. This service Is in charge of MT B. c. Cox, Dr. A. J. Dickinson, S. c. Covington, Captain Manley and H. W. Dearins. and will be held in the church parlors.
 A meeting of all singers Is called for this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock for full rehearsal. The church Is fortunate in securing the services of pr. Lamar as he is a favorite in Chatauqua circles of the east and north during the summer, and his stay here will precede his work in that section. His revival eff forts in the Carolinas last year at tracted a good deal of comment where several hundred conventions resulted frim his meetings.

AN INVESTIGATION ON
President Riddle Says Members Have No Thought of Disbandment. Atlanta Trouble Caused
 By Incompetence

The local nest of the Order of Owls will hold a very important meeting at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the Majestic theatre. Each member of the order has been noti- fled by President G. F. Riddle that 1t Is to the interest of the organization as well as to the individual that full at tendance be given the deliberative ses- sion this afternoon.
 The meeting will be of peculiar interest to the public and especially to the mem bers of the local nest of the Order of Owls by reason of the recent trouble experi- enced by the order in Atlanta because of alleged fraudulent methods used by the organizers of the fraternal body.
 When seen yesterday afternoon the president of the Birmingham nest of Owls stated most emphatically that the local lodge meeting called for this afternoon had not been occasoned by the discovery of anything wrong within the chapter or ganized in this city, though he said that something might be developed later on.
 As yet the affairs of the Birmingham nest are in state of uncertainty, but an iuNtotl6dtioh iS PCAoih6s composed of Barnes Morgan, J. W. Turnipseed and w. T. Stewart were in conference Friday night for the purpose of having the accounts of the organiza- tion audited However, it is not expected that any serious discrepancies will be found.
 According to a statement from Pres of nxx,tz ho trouble in Atlanta arose out of the in- competent methods employed by the or ganizers rather than out of any acts on their part to defraud the members of the order. MT. Riddle explained that the deputy organizers employed by National Organizer Caulfeld to solicit members for the order in Atlanta had in many in- stances issued receipts for initiation fees, destroyed the stubs for these receipts and failed to account for the money. Conse- quently when the charter member pre- scented his receipt at the headquarters of the organizers no record of his member ship was found. Furthermore this method led to an excess of the original number of charter members allowed.
 In the opinion or President Riddle the local order will remain intact whatever may come. An attempt will be made to put the affairs of the lodge on more substantial basis and effect a less defec- tive system.
 "The organization is too strong and sub stantial a body to be abandoned" said President Riddle, and we intend to make the best out of ourselves that we can. I do not anticipate that any serious dis crepancies will be found in the affairs of the order, but even if there should it is our intention to continue the organization, perhaps under different name.'

 MERCY SUNDAY"
Humane Society Issues Statement in Behalf of Innovation in
 Birmingham

The Birmingham Humane society, through its president. Mrs. w N. Wood. has issued the following statement re- garding the setting aside of June 25 as Mercy Sunday:'
 "Th3 Birmingham Humane society would like to introduce a Mercy Sun-- day. for June 25, 1911. Societies all over the United States are trying to- and are succeeding in, having one Sunday set apart and called Mercy Sunday when kindness to all living creatures, which also includes the animal kingdom, will be the subject for the day. Samples of Mercy Sunday leaflets, which are helpful will be sent to ministers of all denominations on request to the president at 2019 Avenue c, Ensley, Ala.
 The Anti-Cruelty societies In the United states in last reported year. have cared for 171,7s9 children and 1,s47,1S2 animals.
 The next meeting of the American Hu- mane association will be held in San Francisco during October of 1911 Dele gates are expected from every state and city. and will be generously entertained.
 "The Birmingham Humane society will soon have their private office properly fitted up on the third floor of the city hall with telephone connection and some one in attendance from a. m. to D. m Calls will be answered there, or at police head quarters, at all hours. This has been made possible through the courtesy and thoughtfulness of our City Commissioners and the Humane society wishes to tender sincere appreciation and thanks to the City Commissioners for their helpful kind ness.
 We now have one officer on salary and two efficient volunteer officers, and we hope to give prompt attention to all com plaints. Our next meeting will be June G.

FESTIVAL HURT BY
 OTHER BE EVENTS
Deficit Is Not Large and HolcOmbe Will Soon Sub
 init His Report

Birmingham's music festival, which was held last week under Victor Her bert's direction, was generally regarded as one of the most attractive musically in the history of this city. While the audience at each concert was large, the total receipts fell short of paying the expenses. but the deficit being compara- lively small the guarantors may not be called upon for their pro rata on the amount subscribed. There was slight deficit In 1910, but the executive com mittee made it up among themselves and did not, therefore, call on the guaran- tors
 President J. H. Holcombe of the festi- val association has completed his report. He had intended calling a meeting of eral members will be out of the city to- morrow and Tuesday he decided to put off the meeting until Wednesday or Thurs day.
 The largest festival audience was that of Monday night, when, in addition to brilliant orchestral numbers, the solo fea- lures were exceptionally strong-Mrs Aldrich, Schumann-Heink and Evan Will Hams. Schumann-Heink sang again Tuesday night, but the house was not as well filled as it was at the opening con- cert. The Good Roads convention, which it was thought would mean good deal in the way of festival receipfs was dis appointing Also 1t is claimed by the festival management that the double header baseball games hurt the mati- nees.
 MT. Holcombe and other members of the festival committee say that they will have a festival next year, but the idea seems to be that instead of five concerts there will be only three-two nights and one afternoon. Even the indefatigable concert goers who attended every one ol the five festival concerts last week said they would have enjoyed the music more if there hadn't been quite so much of 1t.

FIRST MAN TO "WORK HIS WAY"
 FINISHES AT HEAD OF CLASS
TAM" MURPHREE, WHO LED BODY OF STUDENT WATERS, IS PRESIDENT OF GRADUAT- ING CLASS IN LAW

The recently issued program of the university commencement which be- gins today reveals the continuation of very interesting college career, and the name of the young man stands meritoriously at the head of the grad uating class in the college of Law of which he Is president, Thomas Alexan- der Murphree.
 Tam Murphree as he was famil- iarly known by his initials, entered the university in September, 1906. He was nothing more than a freshman like all the rest who have entered there, and was scarcely known until his second year, when he was actively engaged in helping effect the organization of the Student Boarding association. He was on hand when the negro walters and cooks went out on the strike and nota- bly led the body of students, who donned their jackets and aprons, and thus opened up way for aspiring fel- lows to work their own way through college.
 In the meantime Tam Murphree was engaged in other college activi- ties. His cool judgment easily marked him out as the man to properly head the Athletic association, although his time was occupied with numerous other responsibilities among which the as- sistant managershp of the "Corolla." All the while Murphree has been work ing his own way, but somehow he seem ed to have plenty of time to give to the interests of his college. In 1909 the conditions were pretty bad in the mess hall' at the university. It was Murphree who felt the truth most be- cause he had been Just previously elected as manager for the students. There was a way out of the bad sit uation and 1t was young Murphree who

 Commissioner James Weatherly has been requested to act as master of cere- monies, which will include short remarks by some twenty of Birmingham's lead- ing citizens. A great deal of interest is manifest in the construction of the Edgewood line and it is hoped the gen. eral invitation of the owners for the peo- accepted and that a big crowd will take advantage of the invitation of free car ride barbecue and Brunswick stew.
 In its present shape the programme calls for short speeches from the following well known citizens: President Culpepper Exum of the commission, Judge A. o. Lane, Frank H. Crockard, George Cor don Crawford, John L. Parker, E. w. Barrett, William J. Conniff. A. H. Ford, G. H. Harris, Sydney J. Bowie, Job Co., ing. Cleon B. Rogers, l.. Sevier, frank P.

 The afternoon will be featured by the driving of the last spike in the construc- ton by Miss Martha Dabney, a social favorite of this city She will announce tomorrow her sponsors for the occasion. among whom will be some of Birming- hams most popular young ladies. Miss Dabney, by a dynamite explosion, un- loosened the first dirt on the construction and 1t is considered slngularly fitting that she act as the sponsor for the comple- ton of the line. Her maids will be taken to the scene of the formalties in a spe- cially decorated car provided by the of- ficials of the company Miss Dabney will drive a silver spike completing the work undertaken by MT. Smith and MT. Brazel- ton and carried to completion under the most unfavorable conditions.
 The officials expect about POGO persons to make the trip over their line. The line will be operated on a regular sched- ule after next Saturday, although test runs will commence Wednesday. The construction has called for the expendi- ture of approximately $150.0oO.
