MATTHEWS GIVES
DATA ON SCHOOLS
Understood He Will Recon-.
mend Expending More
Than $1,500,OO0

The data compiled by w o. Matthews
building inspector, as to the needs of
the schools in Birmingham, has been
given Commissioner A. o. Lane who
requested it. At the meeting of the com
mission this afternoon that data so Judge
Lane said yesterday, will be given the
other commissioners unless copies have
in the meantime been given them.
That the recommendations of Mr.. Mat
thews as to repairs and new buildings
will exceed the sl5OO,0oo as stipulated as
necessary by the board of education, was
a rumor that was currently heard yes
terday at the city hall. 1t was said that
Mr. Matthews after carefully looking
into the proposition of repairing the pres
ent buildings. additions to them and erect
ing new structures indicated that the
cost would be even greater than the Of
ficial request of the board of education
Mr.. Matthews would not discuss that re-
port in any detail. He said that it had
been given to Judge Lane and 1t could
only be secured from that commissioner.
Judge Lane declined to make known the
contents of the report and also declined
to confirm the rumor that Mr.. Matthews
reported 81, 500, 900 insufficient to solve the
local school situation.
The report. If submitted this afternoon,
will perhaps become the most interesting
affair of the commission meeting.

LUSK RETURNS AFTER
ABSENCE OF 3 MONTHS
Spent Five Weeks in Johns Hopkins
Hospital, But Has Entirely Recov-
cred From Sudden Illness

After an absence from Birmingham of
three months, five weeks of which time
was spent at Johns Hopkins hospital in
Baltimore, John Lusk of the Jemison CON-
pany returned yesterday TO his home here.
Following a sudden indsposition Mr. Lusk
was hastily taken to Baltimore, where he
remained for some weeks. Later he spent
several weeks at his plantation in Tennes-
see.
Mr.. Lusk appeared to be in excellent
health yesterday and affirmed that he
was feeling exceptionally good. He has
completely recovered from his indsposi-
ton and looks the part.
The illness of Mr.. Lusk in Baltimore
was unattended by any announcement
Few persons knew here that he was i'll,
which secrecy was at the special behest of
the physicians. Robert Jemson, Jr., was
in close touch with his business asso-
ciate and visited him at Johns Hopkins
while Mr.. Lusk was i'll there.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF WIRE
MILL OPENING EXPECTED
FROM NEW YORK TODAY
Steel Corporation Executive Committee Meets Today and Thos
Best Informed Think Formal Order to Resume Work
Fairfield Will Be Forthcoming at Once

Well informed Industrial men believe
that the long expected order to open the
American Steel and Wire company plant
at Fairfield will be issued in New York
this morning. AT the New York offices
members of the Steel corporation execu-
tive committee will meet today. That
Judge Ebert II. Gary will recommend
formally that the plant be opened is the
belief of many persons here who are
trying to keep in constant touch with the
developments expected TO follow negotia-
tions which were initiated some weeks
ago by w. p. G. Harding and others look
ing to the opening of the plant
The singular coincident of the meeting
today and the arrival in Birmingham of
C. w. Lutz, superintendent of the Fair
field plant did not escape the attention
of those in touch. and caused considerable
speculation Mr.. Lutz was here when the
plant was ordered closed, but subsequent
ly was ordered to Ptttspurg, where he
has been since. That N& should appear
here at this time and on the day preceding
the meeting at which the order to start
is expected to be given, were two

NO ELECTION BY THE
COMMISSION TODAY
Indications Are That Vacancy on the
Board of Education Will Not Be
Filled at Meeting

No successor on the board of education
to Col. Samuel Will John recently re-
signed will be elected at the commission
meeting this afternoon, according to pres
ept indications. Tt was announced yes
terday by Judge A. o. Lane that out of
respect to the suburban committees
working on prospective applicants the
election would be passed for short time.
There is said to be little haste necessary
in the matter of a successor to Colonel
John and for that reason the commits
sioners will take plenty of time to settle
the matter
The meeting other than the routine will
be rather unproductive unless something
develops.

CONTRACT CLOSED
FOR CAVALRY BAND
Change of Date of Other Large Fairs
Means Best BlOOded Horses of
Country Will Race Here

The Alabama State Fair association
has closed the contract for the Second
Cavalry band as one of the attractions
at the state fair this fall. The band
contains 40 pieces and is recognized as
one of the leading mounted bands in
the United States. The band will render
selections while on the march and 1t is
possible great military spectacle will
be arranged by the association during
the fair.
A welcome feature to the horsemen of
the state will be the track races at
which some of the best blooded horses
In the country will compete. BY gen.
eral change of the dates of other state
fairs a greater variety and better class
of horses will be secured, as practically
all large fairs will be concluded before
the Alabama fair. This is considered
quite an advantage, as many horses are

'straws" that strengthened the belief that
success will crown the efforts eXerted to
get the plant at Fairfield started.
Naturally, Mr. LutZ did not make any
statement. In fact he successfully kept
away from newspaper men until late yes
terday afternoon, when his presence here
was ascertained by chance. From what
can be gathered Mr.. Lutz was simply told
to come to Birmingham and await in
structions. He came and is waiting.
No certainty has existed or even now
exists that the plant will be started How
ever, in the opinion of men identified with
local industrial operations it is more
probable than ever that the plant will be
making products within a reasonable
time. Some work will be necessary in
order to get the plant ready. The in
stallation of machinery alone WILL 4
is said, require several months.
The recent testimony of President Far
rell in the government dissolution
suit, the appearance of MIR. Lutz in Br-
mingham, the change of the name of
Corey to Fairfield and other "straws'
are such as to lead to the conviction that
something will be doing" very soon at
Fairfield.
