SCHOOL CENSUS
IS BEING TAKEN
Expected That Large In.
crease Will Be Shown
by Results

A large force of workers, under the d.
rection of A. A Lyon, principal of the
South Highland school, began taking the
census of school children yesterday morn
ing. DR.. ]. II. Phillips stated last even
ing that although nothing definite could
be aseertained at present, indications
point to a considerable increase In the
number of school children for next year,
With the large force at work it will take
fully month to complete the census.
As there Is no law for compulsory edu-
cation in the state of Alabama, there will
of course be some percentage OF children
eligible to- attend school who will not be
counted in the census. The act making
1t compulsory for children to go to school
was not passed by the last legislature, but
will in all probability be brought up as
soon as possible. AT a recent luncheon
of the Chamber of Commerce, DR. Phil
lips spoke for some time on school condl-
tions in Birmingham and told of the need
of more buildings and better equipment.
He said that the conditions in the negro
schools were particularly deplorable.
During the next month the people in
charge of the census wilFvisit every home
In Birmingham and the name of every
child seven years of age or more will be
entered in the census.

Kettig's Conclusion

w. II. kettig has returned from the
convention in Baltimore where he has
been for the past week He said yester-
day that anyone capable of forming an
opinion could tell as much as he could
about the situation facing the demo-
cratic hosts. He said that the situation
was hopelessly complex and that from
outside indications the convention would
be in session perhaps several days.
Il have studied the situation from
every angle" said Mr.. Kettig. 81 have
looked at the proposition from every
viewpoint and l am hopelessly in the
dark However 1 arrived at two con-
illusions. The first is that William j
Bryan went to Baltimore to get the nomi-
nation and can't get it. The other con-
clusion is that no man can get the nomi-
nation unless he has the %. X of Mr.
Bryan. It is needless to emphasize the
power and potency of Mr. Bryan. For
everyone at the Baltimore convention
realizes 1t and confesses that power Mr.
Bryan, according to my Judgment, and
this is borne out by the ballots, abso-
lutely controls 400 delegates or more.
And for anyone to get nominated. that
bunch must be handed over.
THE only solution of the problem is
for Mr.. Bryan to drop dead or for the
convention to name whomsoever Mr.
Bryan says. Mr. Underwood, if Bryan
was kidnapped, could get the nomination

New Buildings

Since the recent election of ]. II, Hol-
combe as president of the Alabama State
Fair association, the preparatory work
for the big state fair for next October
is being pushed with vigor. Mr.. Hol-
combe and the entire management are
sparing no efforts to make the state fair
this year the most successful ever held
In Alabama. The attractions in all lines,
especially the free acts, the music and
the fireworks spectacle are the strongest
ever booked in the south.
A new departure in the music at the
Alabama State fair this year is the en-.
gaging of six grand opera singers, who
will come with Liberati's grand concert
band These grand opera singers Will
render excerpts from the various operas
In costume on the bandstand each even
ing.
The free act programme, which en-
bodies 10 distinct acts. will cover at least
two and one-half hours each afternoon
and night, and will be given on 40 foot
stage and In two rings In front of the
grandstand 1t will vary from comedy,
acrobats and trained animals to veritable
nerve thrillers.
One act alone Autos Passing In the
Air." will be worth the price of admis-
sion to the fair. In this act two daring
actors in automobiles rush down an in
cline of about 60 feet, jump gap of W
feet, one of the automobiles with its
occupant turning three distinct summer
saults in the air in making the leap, the
sotber machine passing beneath, and
both rushing out onto the race track. An
other thriller is THE Globe of Death.

Turnbull Optimistic

d. F. Turnbull, district manager for
the Southern Bell telephone and a keen
observer of political matters also re-
turned yesterday. He said that the
chances of Mr.. Underwood are now as
good, If not better, than they have ever
been. Mr.. Turnbull, 1t will be recalled,
performed yoeman service all over the
south for Mr.. Underwood and was in
strumental in many of his southern vic
tories.
II think that Mr.. Underwood occu-
pies the most unique position OF any
man at the convention, said Mr.. Turn
bull. His votes stand firm and they
cannot be shaken | believe Chat Mr..
Underwood stands a better chance now
than at any time during the conven-
ton.
THE convention now is matter of
physical endurance and II may be sew
eral days before the final nomination is
made. The candidate offered by Ala
bama is the second choice of hundreds
of delegates. I talked to men from
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio and
elsewhere. who believe that Mr.. I'm
derwood Is the man for the nomina-
ton. However. they cannot afford to
leave their favorite as long as that
favorite has any chance. Whenever the
time comes / believe that Mr. Under

of the problem and he will be nomin-
ated. As a matter of course. w. i.
Bryan has great influence at the con-
vention and the man who gets the NOM
ination must be acceptable to the peer
less leader. l sec no reason in view OF
the latest developments, why Mr.. Bryan
cannot support Mr.. Underwood. The
Marching club. In whose hands the
lusty work for Mr.. Underwood was
consigned, performed the work we'll.

COMMISSION TO
. HOLD BUSY SESSION
Several Important Matters
Scheduled to Come Up
This Morning

A busy session of the board of city COM
missioners will be held this morning,
and several important matters pertaining
to public utilities are scheduled to come
before the board, including the amended
schedule of the Birmingham Waterworks
rates, the contamination of the sale of the
Birmingham and Edgewood Electric rail
way company TO the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company, and the
granting of franchise to the Tide
water Railway company to construct a
loop on Fifth avenue around the en-
trance to the subway at the Terminal
depot
These matters have been before the
city commissioners for some time and
were postponed on account of the alb
sence of two of the commissioners,
Messers. Exum and Weatherly, who have
been attending the convention at Balti-
more.
Tn reference to the water schedule it is
understood two of the commissioners.
Messrs. Exum and Lane. favor the prop
ostion, and that Mr.. Weatherly is against
its adoption at this time.
The matter of the saac of the Edge
wood Railway company has been before
the commissioners several times and at
the meeting held two weeks ago it was
thought that the. matter was settled. OBJ
iections have been raised, however, by
some of the residents near the terminus OF
the line and IL Is understood commit
tee will appear before the city commits
soners and protest against the sale In
its present form.
The matter of the Tidewater loop at
the Terminal was passed at the last meet
ing and it was thought an agreement
would be reached by the time the council
again met.
