 This meeting is held for the purpose of getting the consensus of opinion as to the best steps to be taken in protesting what appears to be an unwarranted and unnecessary raise in taxes.

We must speak now or in time our property will be confiscated."

DELEGATION WILL

Much Interest in Conference to Remedy Court Pro-
 cedure Methods

The delegation of prominent attorneys from Birmingham to attend the confer ence in Montgomery looking to a refor- nation of civil and criminal court pro- eedure in this state, will leave for the capital tomorrow morning The confer ence will be held tomorrow beginning at 2 o'clock.

 The attorneys to attend from Birming- ham upon the invitation of Governor o'Neal include Judge A. o. Lane. Capt. Addison G. Smith, Col. Alexander M. Gar Der, Governor Smms and Capt, Frank 5. White
 The conference is looked upon by attor- neys and others as one of the most def- nite steps yet taken to remedy the situ- ation in this state in reference to the laws delay and the inadequate methods of procedure in handling cases. The crowded condition of the local courts. the ceaseless postponement of cases, the utter mpossibility of speed in court trials are few propositions that have called forth dissatisfaction in reference to the laws operation in this state.
 Governor O'Neal. who is one of the states most prominent attorneys, has been intensely interested in the improve ment of the situation since being made governor and even before that time. It is stated that he has looked into the matter and will have considerable data to sub init when the conference is called into session.
 The entire supreme court of Alabama will attend the conference.

BENEFIT CONCERT
 FOR GOOD CAUSE Treble Clef and Arion at the Jefferson Theatre To-
 morrow Night

The oldest and the youngest musical or- ganlzations in Birmingham-the Treble clef club and the Arlon club-win appear in a joint concert at the Jefferson the- atre tomorrow night for the benefit of the Holy Innocents Free Hospital for Chil- dren, and rare treat is in store for music lovers.
 There Is more than passing interest in this event, due to several reasons. one of which Is the rejuvenation of that excel- lent chorus. the Treble Clef club, which achieved such notable triumphs under the directorshlp of Adolf Dahm-P Petersen. and which is now closing successful season. Another reason for the widespread inter- est in Thursday nights concert is due to the fact that the Arion, 3-months-old chorus. makes it's bow before a Birming- ham audience. Then again the joint ap- pearance of these clubs marks a. step forward in the musical life of the city. Both clubs are said to be exceptionally we'll rehearsed at this time. A member of the musical set said yesterday:
 '"rhe Treble Clef has been under the di- rection of MT. Adolf Damn Petersen this season, and those acquainted with his work with this club few years ago know what to expect in the way of artistic fin- ish and splendid ensemble. There will be 8 voices In the womens choruses.
 "The Arion club was organized less than three months ago, and there has probably never existed in Birmingham club of like nature which has worked so har- monously and faithfully. MT. Dahm-Pe- tersen was unanimously elected to its di- rectorship, and in the short time which has elapsed he has accomplished fine re- suits. There will be 27 men participating in Thursday nights concert, and in the mixed numbers there will be heard a chorus of 62 trained voices'
 The price of admission Thursday night will be 50 cents. The public is well ac- quainted with the need for such an insti- tuition as the Holy Innocents' hospital

BLOW AT COUNTt FEE SYSTEM IS TAKEN BY CRO Continues Scores of Case Set for Trial in His
 Court ORDERS THAT NO MORE WITNESSES BE CALLED Judge States It Is Physical Impossi-I bility to Even Mention All of
 Cases Set on Docket for
 Each Day

By sweeping order continuing sc1 of cases set on the docket of the frs vision of the circuit court, Judge Crow yesterday struck what is tonk a solar plexus blow at the fee sy the courts of Jefferson county.
 Yesterday afternoon Judge Cr69 too many cases were being dockdted ordered all civil jury cases Eet Wednesday. Thursday and Friday of week of the present term continued, ordered that no more witness subpoenv be Issued for any cases set in his divIsie| on these days.
 Judge Crow stated that over 50 cases week had been placed on the docket in th first division and that it was a physcs| impossibility to even consider such Il la,} number He stated that two cases a da on Jury trials was as much as could accomplished, and as there are only trial days each week 1t meant the d tinuation of 90 per cent of the cases ur resummoned, not only entailing addition costs to the litigants, but causing grey inconvenience to the witnesses, manyj| whom had no interest in tine case.
 The action of Judge Crow does n affect any court except that over whi he presides. over one hundrsd caj that have been set on the sfeT :, affected by the order. as the prese term ends on June 2s.
 Similar conditions prevail In evei court of the county In the secof dieision of the circuit court. presids over by Judge Pugh, about the san number of cases appear on the docke In the city court every division loaded" while the criminal coui docket Is over 4000 cases behind.

Nine Chamber of Commerce Teams Rounded Up 176
 Recruits Yesterday
TEAM NUMBER , WAS
 WINNER OF THE DAY
Corporal" Harry Jones Himself Se- cured Twenty Eight New Mem- bers (-), He Says-Workers
 Report Few "Grouches"

Team No. 5, under the leadership of Capt A. M. Douglas and Corporal Harry Jones. won first prize in yester- days membership campaign of the Cham Der of Commerce. A total of 1I6 new members were secured yesterday. making a grand total of 34 enrolled during the two days action Yesterdays cash re- port in membership fees was ssos.So.
 The reports of the membership teams were made yesterday noon at the Turn Verein cafe About 60 members were pres ent and the reading of the reports ere ated intense excitement When Captain Douglas reported 45 new members cries of hold out" rang through the hall, for this team had secured but three new mem- bers on the first day. However. Harry Jones insisted that he had been out of town Monday and that he had personally signed 2s men yesterday.
 Good Showing
 The showing of the teams yesterday was exceptionally good. But two hours a day are devoted. to securing the new members and several of the teams were short handed yesterday. The slogan of the campaign is TOGO new members for the Chamber of Commerce" and to live true to their colors the teams will have to work harder than ever during the re- mander of the campaign. Today is ex- pected to be the banner day as the re- ports will be made at the weekly luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce directors in the Gold Lion tea room.
 Mrs. Roberta Harris Winn and Mrs. NJ. F. Stevens are the first women to join the Chamber of Commerce. They both signed up yesterday.
 With 354 new members secured this week the Chamber of Commerce has a total enrolment of 1205, but this must be brought up to lSOO before the end of the week in order to live up to the slogan.
 The members of the Chamber of Com merce are helping the committees by wearing the badges sent out some time ago Tn this way the committees will not bother trying to sign up man who Is already a member of Birminghams s civic organization. The teams are a lit- tie better organized than at first and are working In fine shape. All records for membership campaigns in the south are expected to be broken in the next couple of days. Plenty of sKr3t-made in Birmingham spirit-it is urged, is needed to make the week a successful one though. There are but three days of the campaign left and 1t is necessary to secure about $50 new members during that time.
