THREE BATTAL|0NS
OF SOLDIERS HERE
Passed Through Birming-
ham Yesterday En- Route
to Galveston

Three battalfons of the Twenty-sixth
Infantry regiment United States Army,
passed through Birmingham yesterday
enroute to Galveston, Tex where they
have been ordered into camp. The reg
iment has been stationed at Forts
Wayne and Brody, near Detroit. for
several years, and while nothing Off
cial was given out, II is understood
the situation in Mexico is responsible
for the movement of the troops.
The soldier boys took advantage of
short stop in the city to view the
town and many of them were seen
on the streets during the Afternoon
They were husky set of fellows, eacn
wearing an olive drab sweater, which
pointed to the fact that they had been
stationed In cold climate. They
were under the command of Lieutenant
Colonel Bullard.
They came over the Louisville and
Nashville from Cincinnati, and left last
night for New orleans over the same
line.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR THE FESTIVAL
Cincinnati Orchestra Being
COnsidered-M eeting
Wednesday

The prospects for holding a music fes-
tival in May are said to be bright The
directors of the Birmingham Music Fes-
tiyal association held a meeting yester-
day afternoon. President j. H. Holcombe
'presided and b. B. Burton was present
as secretary. After some discussion the
meeting adjourned until next Wednesday
afternoon when a final decision as to
the proposed event will be reached.
AT a meeting held some weeks ago it
was practically agreed that a festival
would be held in April, notslater than the
week of the fourteenth, but three or four
of the orchestras that were then avail
able are not so now A recent proposition
came from the Cincinnati orchestra for
two night performances and a matinee
May 3 and 6, and it was decided at yester-
days session of the board in case a fes-
tival is to be held, to have that orchestra.
which, it is claimed, ranks among the
best i'll the world today. This is the
only orchestra that is now available.
President Holcombe said that those
members of the board who attended yes
terday's meeting were heartily in favor
OF holding festival with the Cincinnati
orchestra and several vocal celebrities
as the attractions, provided, however,
that practically all the directors displayed
genuine interest in the event.
1t was decided that no festival would
be undertaken unless a guarantee list
aggregating $4,000 was secured-10
guarantors at $100 each. As in all locally
guaranteed attractions, no guarantor is
called on for anything unless there hap
pens to be deficit and then the amount
of the deficit is prorated

James Bowron appeared before the city
commission yesterday protesting against
the pavement of Fourteenth avenue be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty streets,

in his opinion to pave that block on ac-
count of its elevation.
Il am not actuated,' he said. by any
consideration of the cost entailed. AS a
matter of fact, il the city needs the money
l will pay the assessment willingly, pro-
yided the city agrees not to do the paving.

noon adopted amendments to the ordi-
nance which was so universally termed
radical and impractical as result of
which every chimney, in the early morn
ing, may smoke unmolested for period
of so minutes, and thereafter 10 minutes
per hour.
Thereupon, Mr.. weatherly yielded tho
ghost, declared that he would not en-
endeavor to make effective the ordinance.
because, as it had been amended. it did
not have his sympathy, and announced
that all three of his inspectors had re-
signed.
Said Mr.. Weatherly in this regard, Il
decline to sit up with the corpse, or to
buy the remains, or to administer upon
the estate of the deceased"
After the meeting. he expressed him
self: 'To all practical purposes, the fight
is lost The amendments, in my opinion,
