FEE SYSTEM ID BE ATTACKED TONIGHT. Better Government League
 to Hold Meeting MEET AT COURTHOUSE As Means of Abolishing Crime, Fee System Will Be Subject of
 Mass Meeting at 7:30
 O'clock
MEET AT COURTHOUSE

The first public mass meeting to be conducted by the recently organized Confederate Veterans Better Govern ment association will be held this even ing at 7:30 o'clock in the Jefferson county courthouse. It is announced that an active campaign for the eradf- cation of the fee system in Jefferson county will be launched at this time and the public has been invited to attend this gathering.
 J. T. S. Wade. chairman of the pub licity committee of the organization, has given out the following statement con corning the proposed session of this evening:
 without noise or device to attract public notice, this association has en- tered the arena of social, moral and public activity of the state of Alabama and the county of Jefferson. to render assistance In combating disorder and misrule Not as heartless censors nor self-acclaimed the spotless and pure.' but as a society composed of individ- uals who recognize their own frailties and imperfections, but who are deter mined to resist the agencies of error and its disintegrating effects upon home, church and state; and 1t appeals to that element in Jefferson county and city of Birmingham whose fealty to right has never varied to give their time, their thought, and presence to further end contemplated.
 'It is not possible to legislate men into morals-this must be a voluntary and personal choice, but In the restora- tion of laws-the re-esta blishment of hoped will be attained-the contrast perforce. will attract followers to the standards of uprightness and per sonal integrity.
 Tt is not believed that the objection able and discreditable conditions which exist in this county can be corrected at once; time will be required to ac- complish the change. There are se- rious difficulties to be overcome, but these will disappear; it may be slowly but surely since the eternal is direc- tor.
 The initiative in this movement will take place tomorrow evening at 7:3O o'clock at the courthouse when a move ment will be set on foot to abolish causes of crime in this county. Give your presence and counsel and aid in | the establishment of the supremacy | of law. J. T. s. WADE | Chairman Publicity Committee"

REMODEL SOUTHERN
 SEWER PIPE PLANT
Extensive Improvements Being Made # in Large Plant at North Birmingham

The plant of the Southern Sewer
 pc company at North Birmingham is
 1ergoing extensive improvements and
 Il be remodeled throughout the en-
 plant. All machinery is to be dis
 ded and replaced with latest im-
 owed clay working machinery.
 An order for a new 400 horsepower aavv duty Corliss engine, made in girmingham," has been placed with the Hardie-Tynes Manufacturing company.
 The work is now under way and will be finished July l. When completed the plant of this company will be the largest and most modern up to date sewer pipe plant south of the Ohio river, it is said The industrial committee of the Chamber of Commerce will run an excursion to the plant after comple- ton of this work in order that the business men, engineers and con- tractors in the Birmingham district may see the production of superior quail ity of vitrified. sanitary sewer pipe, culvert pipe, fire clay, flue lining, vit- rifed wall coping. etc.
 While the yards of the company at this time are overstocked, several acres being stacked 10 to 20 feet high, still they look forward to fairly good demand as soon as the weather condi- tions permit of extensive work.
 The products of the Southern Sewer Pipe company are shipped all over the southeastern territory and on account of its superior quality is given prefer ence by many engineers and con- tractors.

UNDERWOOD IS THE
 LOGICAL CANDIDATE
Walter E. Oates of Headland States Wiregrass District Is for Un-
 derwOOd to Man

"There Is no lodging 1t, even if ono wanted to: oscar Underwood Is the logical candidate for the presidency, declared Walter B. Oates, one of the important political factors of south east Alabama, at the Florence hotel last night. "It is because of several reasons One is that the capital is for him because he is a conservative. They are not afraid of him and are willing to repose their trust in him.
 "There Is no doubt in my mind but that he wil be nominated. The solid south will be for him and this hearty indorsement from his home people will establish conc1usively In the minds of the other delegations that he is a ma~ worth whi1e.'
 "of course, his being one of us makes us lean toward him to a great extent, but the main attraction in him as a prospective President of the United States is his fitness for the job; hls aptness in solving problems of both national and international importance as he has proven himself capable of doing. .
 "He has shown us by his acts in Congress that he Is too big a man for that job, and when a man gets too big to be chairman of the ways and means committee of the House there is but one other place for hini-thc White House. and that same White House never has had. nor ever will have, a better incumbent than Oscar w, Underwood.
 "The Wiregrass is for him to a man. Of course we have few struggling republicans there, but their vote will not matter either way. The democrats have got the Underwood bug and they are going to keep it."
 Mir. oates Is in the city from his home, IIeadland. on private business and will be here all day. He Is one of tho most prominent young men of his section of the state.

Generals Gordon and Breckenridge bore the rank of lieutenant general. It Is not true.
 John B. Gordon surrendered as a ma jor general, Confederate States of America. See official records. John C. Breckenridge was appointed Secretary of War and his rank never advanced.
 General Gordon, over his own name, writing to the Confederate Veterans, says: "General Breckenridge as secretary of war. wrote me just before the. fall of Richmond that had been commissioned a. lieutenant general-that commission never reached me-"
 At the unveiling of the statue Of Gem eral Breckenridge at Lexington, Senator Blackburn, the orator of the occasion. said: "He rose to the rank of major gem eral of the Confederate States of Ameri- ca," and his monument reads "A major general of the Confederate States of America"

For the performance next Monday to be given by E. H. Sothern and Miss Marlowe, at the Jefferson theatre. play goers should bear In mind that the curtain will rise promptly at 8 o'clock. This Is q rule adhered to by Mir. Soth- ern and Miss Marlowe wherever they play, the comparatively early start be- ing made necessary by the fact that the stars give the Shakespearean plays practically in their entirety, and that they make their productions on a scale of great splendor.

The Flirting Princess

Harry Bulger, who comes to the Jeff ferson theatre tonight. in an entirely new edition of his latest success, "The Flirting Princess" is popularly known and referred to among his chums and associates as King Bulger." The reason for this sob riquet is quite natural on account of the genial Harry being almost invariably chosen to play "lxing" parts Bulger played tramp" parts previous to the king" role.
