COMMISSION WILL
 BE BUSY TODAY
Sunday Picture Petition, Jail Site and Other Mat
 ters Are Scheduled

The commission will meet this morn ing at Il o'clock, having adjourned un- til that time Tuesday. There will prob ably be some action taken on the peti- ton to allow moving picture shows open on Sunday While there is a disposition on the part of the commissioners to ar rive at the most just decision. there Is not expected to be any deviation from the opinion heretofore. held, which was against the operators.
 The proposition relative to the purchase of jail site will be taken up probably. The matter has been given over to Com missioner Weatherly, who is trying to get a site where the least protest will be raised because of the location there upon of jail This has entailed great deal of time and discussion but unless some questions arise the matter will be closed very shortly.
 It is expected that some action will be taken relative to the organization of the engineering department. which has Dtcl lluIIllucHl TUT SOttlt liiic. ItOWcNci, that matter may go over until the gen eral election of officials. The commis- sioners have not elected any employees since taking charge of affairs and while the elections may be passed until the bond issue is settled, it may be taken up today.
 Judge Lane says he Is ready to vote upon the employees of those departments over which he exercises control, but it is understood the associate commission CTS have some further investigations to make prior to rendering an opinion.
 The commissioners, as usual, will have considerable amount of routine mat ters to wade through, and this is ex- pected to consume some time. It is pos sible that the ordinance under which Scudder Ryall, censor of moving picture shows, Is to operate, may be outlined. His election was made by resolution and it is necessary, according to the gen. eral opinion, that some restrictions be placed about an office invested with such extraordinary powers.

CONTRACT LET FOR BURNETT BUILDING  Joy Construction Company Will Start Work at
 Early Date

R. D. Burnett announced yesterday that contract for the erection of the Burnett building on the Abbott Second avenue site had been given to the Joy Construction company and work would start immediately.
 The investment will total almost s20,- 900, including the interior construction. The building will be three stories high with a basement equivalent to an- other story. The place will be occupied exclusively by the wholesale store Of MT. Burnett and will be tenanted for 20 years as such.
 MT. Burnett said that the work of tearing down the old building and be- ginning work upon the new would not be delayed at all. He added that it was his ambition to get into the new place as quickly as possible and that fact had been impressed upon the con tractors.
 This is the third commercial house to start the tearing down of old build ings in the city business district and putting up new ones. The American Trust bank takes the lead iii important and progressive work, but the J'rennen building, corner Second and Twentieth, is being razed and the contractors will get to that work quickly. The Amer ican Trust corner where the lS-story skyscraper is to be erected has all been torn down except about one story. That work will be completed the early part of next week and then the work of ex- cavation will be started.

CIVIL BODIES WILL BE ASKED FOR AID Commission to Seek Official Support of the Bond
 Issue

It Is understood that an application will be made to the Chamber of Com merce and the Board of Trade and other organizations of the city to assist in the passing of the requested bond is- sue of the commission.

 It is known that John L. Parker president of the Board of Trade, is heartily in favor of the bond issue, as is President Richard ". Massey of the Chamber of Commerce.
 The two ruling officers will be asked to consent to the joint meeting and hold 1t in some auditorium where the fullest and most comprehensive discus sion may be held relative to the first crucial request of the Board of Com missioners
 If the proposed joint gathering is held the commissioners will, perhaps, make few remarks upon the proposed Issue.

QUESTIONS MAY BE ANSWERED TODAY Weatherly Has Statement Answering Criticisms
 of Bond Issue

Some of the "ouestions" which, 1t is stated, have been unanswered by the Board of Commission, will be handled today, perhaps, in statement to be is- sued by Commissioner James Weather ly. He gave the information out yes- terday that some condensed financial pointers on the proposed bond issue had been received and that he was try ing to get them into shape to issue along with some comments upon the bond issue. It is taken that the state ment of Mr. Weatherly will be on be- half of the commissioners. It is stated, however that it is proposed to issue the information for public dissemina- ton.
 Mr. weatherly said yesterday that the question uppermost in the public mind was whether an actual deficit existed and if so, how much.
 Ut is certainly evident that the deficit exists" said Mr. Weatherly yesterday, flor three qualified experts have passed upon the city's conditions and each of them have shown the deficit as a hor- rible actuality.
 Again, the statement of former Treasurer George Eustis that the wash day for Birmingham has come, sets a great deal of power behind the pro- posed issue l. consider his contribu- tiori to the bond discussion as the most valuable that has been issued. He went thoroughly into the general conditions and said for 20 years this debt has been accumulating. The commissioners I am sure, appreciate his spirit oi broadness in making this statement fol the bond issue. which is for the welfare of the city"

TRAFFIC AGREEMENT
Between Frisco and Santa Fe Means
 Much, Says Carter

That Birmingham would be vastly ben efited by the traffic agreement between the Frisco lines and the Santa Fe rail- road when the transcontinental service ia inauEurated was the statement of John D. Garter. Jr, general southern freight and passenger agent of that com pany here yesterday. He said that the new agreement would render 1t possible for the shippers here to place commod- ities into far western points great deal quicker. and by a through route than is possible at this time.
 MT. Carter pointed out that great deal of construction would be done in order to get the shortest route into the western cities. It is probable that the cut of from the Frisco main line to the point where the Santa Fe wfll be tapped will involve cost of s1.O0oOOO or more.
 Business between this city and the west has been very good" said MT. Car ter, "but under this new traffic agree ment 1t win be greatly improved and bettered in other ways The shippers here will have very short line west and there will be few delays In getting their commodities into the western points on short time schedule"

COOPERATION OF THE
 WHOLESALE DEALERS
Is the Object of the Movement Start ed By the Chamber of Com
 merce Committee

The Chamber of Commerce committee for the promotion of wholesale trade met at headquarters yesterday morning in the Chamber building and decided on a movement TOT bringing all the wholesale dealers together in concert on basis sim liar to that which has been effected among the merchants of New Orleans, St. Louis, Nashville. Memphis and other cities.
 Several other matters came up before the body for discussion, but 1t was con sidered advisable to devote the time and efforts of the committee first to the plan of organization among the wholesale deal CTS.
 The idea of the wholesale committed Is to offer such inducements as are pos sihle to out-of-town purchasers and buy CTS from other states to come to Birming- ham, and one of the chief means of ac- complaining this would be, of course. [ refund of personal expenses for the trir to this city in proportion to the amount of purchases made of the wholesale mer- chants included in the organization.

THE VANDERBILT TURKEYS.

As the French would say. 1T Is to
laugh"
A reputable New York newspaper
tells how one of the NanderbIlts had
two men watching two turkeys which
the yanderbllts were TO discuss ON
Thanksgiving day.
One of the men vas on the day
watch and the other on the night shift.
And the .'deathwatch' of the tur-
keys included their fit feeding and ex-
ercise.
A proper occupation, truly, for twe
ablebodied citizens who might better
have been blowing n field or digging a
ditch or making shoes or garments,
but
What would you?
OF course nobody watched the tur-
key that you .and | helped to eat on
Thanksgiving were we so lucky. That
gobbler gobbled Mt his own sweet will
almost to the day of the sacrifice.
But then our stomaehs are but pie
beian.
And perhaps there IS nothing more
foolish in watching two turkeys than
in the employment by the lords of
Europe of their game wardens and for
csters and Keepers Of the horse and
masters of the hounds and all that ret
lnue Of retainers that cater TO the
pleasure Of the nobility"
But
Note the fact. The Vanderbilt must
pay good wares to the men who fed
and sat up with his turkeys. And the
European %aristoeraey must pay its re-
tainers.
1t was not always so.
In France q hundred years ago peas
ants were brutality punished if they did
not stand By the side Of the ponds ut
night with fails aud beat The waters
so that the er6aiing of the frogs might
not disturb their masters sleep.
For which cruelty and other unspeak-
able atrocities tie French grandees
dearly paid later mt the guillotine.
Yes. the world row better.
Doubtless there always will be the
foolish rich. but neyermore will there
be starving slaves of the foolish rich.
Let us hope always provided some
prowler with appreciation failed to get
the turkeys while the hired guard slept
that the Nanderbilts enjoyed their
turkeys.
And certainly their digestion waited
upon an appetite ne keener thar that
of the two watchers when they got
theirs.
