DR.. Foster Issues Statement
Regarding Cost of Gypsy
Smith Meetings

Rumor has had 1t for some time that the
meetings to be held here by Gypsy
Smith would cost 900 or more. Such
is not the case. DIR. John s. Foster,
chairman of the arrangements commit
tee, Yesterday issued a statement in
which he set forth the entire cost OF
the forthcoming meetings. Here it is.
"To correct an idle rumor l wish to
say that the total cost of the eipsy
Smith meetings VIII be around S65Oe.
Gypsy Smith has never requested any
specified amount of money IRON the
committed The committee rendered
him a sum of its own determination,
which he declared to be entirely sat
sfactory. No man could be freer from
even the suspicion of commercializing
religion than Mr., Smith. There have
been many items of expense connected
with an undertaking of this magni-
tude. yet the entire cost of the meeting,
including the building of the audi
torium, in which there are over 100000
feet of lumber, together with Gipsy
Smiths compensation and all other
items, will be something like $650o.
To defray this expense an offering will
be taken at every SeINlte anu IL Is
hoped everyone will have a part IN this
matter"
Dr Robert p. Noble, chairman of
the choir committee of the western Sec
tion of the city. has called upon his
section to meet him at the Fret Bap-
tist church in Ensley tonight at 5
o'clock. There win be a sectional re-
hearsal and he urges full attendance.
All the plans have been made in
preparation of the coming of the great
evangelist and with the final rehearsal
of the entire choir Friday night next
at the auditorium the preparations
will be over. w. II. Maxim is to be one
of the pianists and Mrs. w. A. Logan
the other. The musical part of tie re -,
vival is to be on a larger scale thaa
ever before attempted in this city. on
Sunday last the first general rehearsal
of the choir. $50 voices were present
and it is believed that at least 500,
possibly 1000, will be in the choir on
Saturday night when Mr.. Smith arrives
and has his first service.

NO CHANGE MADE in
SHINGLE ORDINANCE
Beginning Today Nothing But Fire.
proof Roofing Material Can BE
Used in the City

The runored attempt to amend the
'anti-shngle" ordinance at the commits
sion meeting yesterday proved to be a
false alarm. Chief A. V. Bennett of the
fire department and several well known
insurance men were ON hand in order
to oppose the move were it made. but
no member of lunbermens or shingle
manufacturer delegation appeared The
ordinance will go into effect today.
From today on it will be unlawful for
any man to erect building of any kind
within the city limits unless it is provided
with fireproof roofing materials. The or
dinance does not apply to buildings al
ready constructed except to provide that
they shall not be repaired beyond a cer-
tain extent without using fireproof roof
ing The purpose of the ordinance is to
gradually eliminate all kinds of roof ex-
cept fireproof. As the insurance COM
panies will not accept wooden shingles
in any way as fireproof material. the
ordinance is generally called the "anti-
sbinge ordinance
The lumbermen and Single manufac-
turing concerns of the city opposed the
ordinance very strenuously when it was
adopted and at that time announced they
would endeavor to repeal or amend It.
Monday delegation of lumbermen called
on the city officials and it was reported
that a proposed amendment would be of
fered at the meeting of the commission
yesterday providing that wooden shingles
be allowed for roofing II treated by a
fireproofing paint or material.
The ordinance itself was passed several
months ago to go into effect October
as a result of agitation by insurance COM
panies in which they threatened to raise
insurance rates here unless some such
\ action was taken.

Work of Approaching
Land Congress

The plan to be presented to the Ala

partments of the Alabama railroads. and
they will act in concert to bring about
the desired end.
The following is en- extract from let
ter from G. A. Park, general immigration
and industrial agent of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, received at the head
quarters Of the land congress on yester-
day He says:

policy of the land congress and is re-
garded as a move of great significance
for Alabama. 1t will really be the first
systematic movement ever inaugurated
sor getting settlers for the idle lands OF
