He stressed the importance of publicity in official life and spoke in highly complimentary terms of the newspapers of this city in connection with the publication of the grand jury report and their com ments thereon. Dr. Plunket said the grand jury did its work we'll "The public is becoming aroused, but en- thusiasm soon cools," said Dr. Plunket The preacher then sounded a note of warning against reaction.
 In conclusion Dr. Plunket said "In all this am talking as politician? Nay I am Jehonadab. the priest. I am crying aloud in the name of the God of righteousness. I am insisting in the name of good government that you, the sovereign people, shall arise in your might, and see to it that the majority of the law is re-established that anarchy is put down, that justice shall be administered to all alike. ir- respective of rank or color or po- sition, and that our laws shall be right eously administered; and that punish : ment, swift, sure and adequate, shall be meted to all violators, and espe- cially to those who take the life of a fellowman uniustifiably.

QUESTION UP AGAIN TOMORROW Commission May Act Final
 ly on Ensley Site REFERENDUM PLANS Understood Commission Will Not He's itate To Submit the Matter
 To the Voters of the City
 Immediately
REFERENDUM PLANS

Probably the last important meeting of the commissioners during 1911 will be held tomorrow. The regular meeting the following Tuesday comes the day after Christmas and the chances are that very little work will be handled so soon after the holidays.
 The meeting tomorrow may develop into an interesting affair. It may be that the majority of the commissioners will outvote Commissioner Lane again, for it is very evident to those in close touch with the inner workings at the city hall that Judge Lane does not view with favor the purchase of the park be ratified at the meeting tomorrow. The question was only passed out of def erence to Commissioner Lane from last Thursday, it having been stated publicly by President Exum that he had made 8 thorough investigation as to the land and was in possession of sufficient data to cause him to vote in the affirmative. Commissioner Weatherly said he was In favor of buying the Ensley Land com pany property and the additional tract offered by company of which Lee c. Bradley is president MT. Weatherly did not say, however, that he would vote for the purchase today.
 Judge Lane has made no public state ment as to his attitude on the question of buying $90,OOO worth of park acre age at Ensley. Ills position on the Ems ley park matter is to buy smaller park or one less expensive. He says that he favors giving Ensley a park, but that the time is not ripe for purchase in- volving so much money.
 The injection of the state fair grounds trade into the Ensley park proposition is said to have clouded the waters con- siderably. In connection with the park purchase it is indicated that the Il acres adjoining Green Springs park offered by E. Wilkinson will be purchased for ap- proximately $27,00O. In addition the com missioners have looked over strip of land adjoining North Birmingham park and will doubtless engage to buy that at the meeting tomorrow.
 Referendum Question
 In addition to the park matter and other work of importance the commits sion expects to receive the referendum petition which has been signed against the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company contract, executed three weeks ago by the majority of the com mission. The petition must be in hand now within the next few days it vii be invalid The petition is being rati fled by J. P. Stiles, judge of probate When his clerks complete the checking and it is certified to the commissioners an election will then be called to allow the voters to pass upon the referendum petition. The chances are very favor able for the completion of the checking today. The presentation of 1t to the com missioners tomorrow is logically antici- pated. The commissioners have indicated that they will allow the matter to be re- ferred to the voters, irrespective ol whether the referendum legally applies will allow that matter to be threshed out at some future date.
