Increase In Vote.


The first circumstance to arouse
suspicion was the enormous increase
In the vote over vote Of former
years. Applying the rule that there is
ono voter to five inhabitants to the
census OF 1910 it appeared than in
1910 there were only about one hun

GELDERS APPEALS
 ID MEN OF WEALTH
States They Alone Can Now Save Seal Campaign
 From Defeat

The workers in the Red Cross seal cam paign, Mrs Charles bowman, Hill Fer guson, Rabbi Morris Newfeld and M T. Sloan and others closed a week full of arduous effort last night. and after | brief rest today will resume the fight to- morrow morning that the sale of 100000 seals, the mark set as the goal of the Red Cross seal campaign, can be attained. On the ladder hung across Twentieth street Santa Claus appears to be at the 50eo00 mark at present.
 Yesterdays volunteer workers enjoyed gratifying success. as there were thou sands of shoppers out. Their names fo- low: Miss Mamie Lum, leader; Mrs. J. D. Kirkpatrick. Mrs. s. D. Weakley, Mrs. T. C. Young, Mrs. Mary Strobart Mrs. J. R. King, Mrs. E. B. Afford Mrs. J. k. McWane. Mrs. w. l. Whiteman, Mrs. J. T. Evans, Mrs. Charles Duncan, Mrs. E. A. Pepperman, Miss Dorothy Lum and the Misses Beasley and Barnett of Mont gomery and Mrs. Wallace.
 The work of selling the seals in the public schools is progressing nicely. according to Superintendent Phillips, who is direct ing the sales. Many seals will be disposed of in this manner, it is expected.
 Contributions of $25 and $50 continue to come in to Business Manager Louis Gel , ders of the Red Cross seals city carl- paign. Mir. Gelders said last evenine: According to the best estimates that can make there is hardly any hope of at taining the 100000 mark by Christmas. The people Of Birmingham have respond- ed nobly, but not quite enough.
 T wish to appeal to the civic pride of Birmingham and to it's wealthy citizens to take up the Red Cross work and not let the campaign fail. as it will unless unexpected contributions come in. By my best estimates I think that it Is quite probable that the campaign will manase. to sell 5e9,0G0 seals, or just about hG '1 wint we set out to do. This means tat only about s5oeo will be raised and s5eo0 more is actually needed at the anti-tuber culosis camp at this very minute Iilis s5oc0 can only be raised by private sub- scription among the citizens of Birnling- ham. It is up to the more fortunate cit- izens of this city those of wealth, to sub scribe liberally and save 8 worthy cause from defeat

HOLD NO MEETINGS
 IN AUDITORIUM
The Chamber of Commerce Meeting Place Will Be
 Closed for Repairs

All Chamber of Commerce auditorium engagements for the month of January have been cancelled owing to the damage caused by the fire in the Birmingham Paper company building Friday night. This was officially announced yesterday by Secretary Radcliffe, who stated that there were several important meetings scheduled for January.
 Yesterday, owing to the condition of the auditorium, Camp Hardee, Confederate Veterans, met in the reading room of the Chamber of Commerce and will continue to meet there until the auditorium is re- paired.
 A telegram was sent to Major Flagler at Mobile, chief engineer of the surveys of the Birmingham canal, informing him that the auditorium had been so dam- aged by fire that it could not possibly be available for the public hearing of Major Flagler on the canal question early in January. The Chamber of Commerce in the telegram offered the use of it's di- rectors' room. and if that was found to be inadequate to make arrangements for another auditorium.
 lHS JeHefsoH toultS IedcuerS aSSOela- tion, which has it's regular monthly meet ings in the auditorium, also will have to locate elsewhere for a time. Chief Mine Inspector Nesbitt is looking for other rooms to hold the semi-annual mine ex- aniinations for Alabama, which are to be in the latter part of January The plans for the exhibit of the Alabama Custom and Filters association which was to have been in the auditorium, will be changed or postponed, and the regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Con- merce will be held in some other location than the regular hall.

INDEPENDENCE DAY DIS.
ASTERS.

Independence day is coming;
day of FREDERICKSBURG and
lockjaw, day OF hospitals and
ambulances; day of mutilation
and fire and death. If there is
anything that is sane in the
American people it is the grow
ing revolt against our insane
manner of celebrating the Fourth
of July. 1t might be called
'Incendiaries' Day" for on
that day the fre-fend runs riot.
No man having any public re-
sponsibility fails to dread it.
No fire department gets through
the day, and the nights on both
sides of it. without exhaustion.
II is doubtful if on some fifth of
July an entire city may not
compIacently burn itself up in
the faces of fireman and fire
horses too exhausted by silly
firecracker fires the day before
to cope with it. The fire-fighting
apparatus of our cities and
towns are SO overtaxed by the
numberIess calls which begin on
the evening OF July Sd that re-
spouse to possible summons for
help by neighboring towns or
cities is impossible. What fire
