CH|LDS MAY LOCATE
RESTAURANT HERE.
STATES c. B. KELLEY
Negotiations Have Been
Opened for a Lease at
First Alley and Twen-
tieth Street

The chances are said to be extremely
favorable for the opening here of one Of
the famous Childs' restaurants operated
by z. Childs of New York city.
The noted restaurant operator was here
yesterday negotiating for site on Twen-
tieth street. near the Empire building. 1t
was stated last night by George b. Kelly
that Mr.. Childs asked for the corner Of
First alley, reaching to the Empire build
ing property line. There is now on the
site a two-story building occupied by a
clothing store and a saloon. The restau-
rant will occupy the entire space, accord
ing to the plans on which negotiations are
proceeding.
Mr.. Kelly frankly stated last night
when asked about the report that no deal
had been closed. lie said Mr.. Childs and
New York real estate agent, through
whom all the Childs leases are made, con-
suited him about the location He added
that the two visitors returned to New
York, and that they would consult Mr..
Kelly's brother there tomorrow. Mr..
Kelly is interested in an estate which
owns the corner in question, and said last
night that long term lease could be ar
ranged on the property.
1t is stated in local circles that Mr.
chlds intends to open in this city one CT
the finest restaurants that was ever es--
tablished in the south. He particularly
desired a Twentieth street location and
seemed to be impressed with the ideal To-
cation suggested by the corner in ques-
ton.
1t has not been stated but 1t is believed
the present building will be sufficient for
Of Mr lids ait +,
there has been some talk of a new build
ing on the lot for some time. The con-
struction of a new building there could
be easily arranged if wanted, so it is as
serted.
The childs restaurants of New York
and other progressive cities have a wide
reputation for service and efficiency
The negotiations that have been started
will be taken up in New York today, it
is asserted.

SEED TELLS WHY He
IS SURE winner
Race Between Him and One
0ther-Election TOmOr-
row Would Surprise

If the state election were 10 occur
tomorrow the result would overwhelm
the voters with surprise
This is the opinion of Walter u. Seed
of Tuscaloosa. candidate for governor,
who passed through Birmingham yes
terday. lie expresses his firia opinion
that he is the leading candidate and
that he Will be the next chief executive
of Alabama.
II have just completed a speaking
tour of the counties of the Tennessee
valley" stated the lieutenant governor
"and l feel confident that each of them
will give me a majority. The situation
is not unique. but is identical with
that relative to the race for lieutenant
governor in 1910. At that time. as is
remembered, nearly everybody believed
that Perry Thomas would oe elected
lieutenant governor by an overwhelm-
ing vote. However, as is known, / won
by big majority.
''The race is between me and some
other man. l am not prepared to say
who that other man is, but ] do not
believe he is Mr. Conner. l have found
out that the travelling statesmen. the
merchants and the lawyers represent
the Conner strength. They are loud ia
their talk, but they comprise only
about 15 per cent of the vote of the
state. As. a matter of fact. it is my
conclusion that Mr. Conner is losing
strength day by day
Mr.. Seed is in excellent health and
the only mark which he bears as re-
suit of his daily campaign is bit OF
hoarseress. His calendar is filled with
speaking engagements and he will be
busy until the votes are cast

NEW ESTIMATES ON
R0DEN HOTEL WORK
Understood Plans Have
Been Submitted for Com
pletiOn of Structure

1t is understood that final action will
to finish the Roden hotel steel upon
which has been completed some time.
1t was reported yesterday that Carroll
Blake. well known constructor of this
city, had taken over the contract for
the construction and that Ten Eyck
Brown, the Atlanta architect, had drawn
plans to fit the local pocketbook and that
Mr.. Brown would perhaps finish the
hotel.
President Robert P, McDavid was asked
last night about the reports that Mr..
Blake and Mr. Brown. acting in con-
junction. had outlined an estimate and
drawn plans within a certain figure, which
although attractive had not been accepted
by the stockholders. Mr.. McDavid said
that the Il. w. Mark Construction COM
pany had never been given contract
for the erection of the building or any
other firm. SO that the stockholders are
free to accept any bids that may be
offered.
In connection with the Roden situa-
ton, which is causing some local specu-
lation, Mr.. McDavid said that $4,000 was
needed to begin work, according to the
latest plans. He said that so far as
he was concerned, absolutely no con-
tracts WOuid De signed Tor single ad-
ditional brick on the hotel until the money
was in bank. That other architects and
contractors are free to make bids was
also generally understood.
President McDavid said that the build
ing started would most assuredly be COM
pleted as a hotel. He added that If one
crowd did not build then another would.
He feels absolutely sanguine about the
final result.
He said that no changes had been
made in the personnel of the directors
and stockholders, but that some climax
would be reached during the next few
weeks.
