Weatherly Announces Con-

SUBWAYS FAVORED
City Commissioner States That Pa tience, Diplomacy and Serious
 Argument Will Do More  Good Than Lawsuits

A meeting of the officials of the railroads having entrances into Bir- mingham for consultation with the members of the city commission con- corning the adoption of plans for the construction of viaducts in this district, will occur within the next few weeks.
 Commissioner Weatherly announced yesterday that he is now planning to bring about such consultation. "I believe that as a result of the con sultation," stated he, "viaducts can be constructed in Birmingham without friction and without the necessity for long and bitter legal controversy.
 "The commission is aware of the ne- cessity of viaducts, and viaducts will be surely constructed if the people will exercise that patience which will prevent nasty action and subsequent lawsuit. It might prove a matter of exceeding difficulty to drive the rail- roads with bull whips, but patience, diplomacy and serious argument, along with the demonstration of a desire to cooperate, might work miracles. The commission is at work, but it should De redl1Zed that the WOfld cannot De remodeled in a day, nor can an aged custom be revolutionized in a trice.
 q think that the first viaduct should be constructed on First avenue and Twenty eighth street at the Sloss crossing. This is spot of great dan ger There is no doubt but that via duet is needed and there is no doubt but that it will be constructed. When the danger there is obviated other bridges or viaducts will be considered
 Julian Kendrick. former city en- gineer, tells me that when engineers some years ago considered the cost of viaduct construction in Birmingham they reached the conclusion that the wisest and cheapest course would be to accomplish the Aend by subways. I favor subway at Twenty eighth street and subway at the railroad cross ing on Twentieth street
 q believe that we will be able to accomplish great things in reference to viaducts The time seems to be ripe'

SIGNING THE CONTRACTS

McGilvrsy is expected to come from Denver about March P. "Lil' Marcan comes here from New York, while the others are likely to come from almost anywhere. During the past winter Me- Bride has taken unto himself bride and it is probable that she will accompany him. McGilvray, with '"Little Bill,' who is now about one year and a half old, is always the first to report. What Foxen will do, none can decide or know.
 When these "pecularities" sign their contracts the list will be nearly intact, for all the youngsters and most of the veterans have already put their "Jonn Hancocks" to the contracts. Yantz alone is a, stubborn hodout, and it will probably be at the last moment when he signs up. It is thought that he will come across with a compromise, and will be seen be- hing the bat at the first practice.

Ball playrs are usually eccentric or pe- culiar in some respects. Some will not face pitcher until they have drawn a line at the plate, while another must pull up his left stocking and others believe steadfastly that they could not bat 100 unless the same bat is used. Still an other peculiarity is that some ball players always refuse to sign a contract except when they personally report for practice
 'Bill'' McGilvray, "Lr' Marcan, Clyde McBride and "Bill" Foxen of the 1912 Barons are among the number who al- ways sign when they report for practice. When Large" William reports on March 12 he will no doubt readily sign his contraet-as the others will-at the same figure that the manager proposes, and there will be no trouble. But that is thdir peeuliarity.

MARY ANDERSON CONTRIBUTES


Mime. de Navarro. better known as
Mary Anderson, the actress, and one OF
the favorites OF the American public
when she retired from the stage twenty
three years ago. is the most recent IL
lustrious recruit to the ranks Of women
who purpose to erect in the National
Capital great monument to the men
who sacrificed their lives on the Titanic
to save the women and children.
The central Offices Of the Woman's
Titanic" Memorial in Washington re-
ceived today a communication from
Nine. de Navarro. written from her
home in Worcestershire. England, in
closing her check for 500 as a contri-
button to the project that Is now being
backed by women In Europe and Amer
lea. This contribution Is all the more
pleasing to the promoters of the Titanic
movement because II came In unsolic-
tied and was merely a great woman's
recognition OF the merit OF the plan.
The daily increasing receipts OF mon
ey at the central Offices here are a sign
that the state and city branches have
perfected their working organizations
with unusual rapidity. And the fact that
letters and contributions have been re-
ceived within the past week from points
as far distant as China and various
parts OF Europe shows that interest
In the proposed memorial has spread
practically around the world.
