MAY CALL AN
INDEPENDENT MEET

Washington, March 25.-Unless steps
are taken by officers of the republican
national committee before April Is to-
ward the calling of a republican ma
tional convention to revise the rules
and constitution of the party, leaders
in the organization plans here propose
to summon a conference and begin an
Independent movement for a national
convention
Party workers who demand that the
basis of southern representation be
changed and that state primary laws
be recognized in the election of ma
tiona1 delegates are exerting pressure
upon the members of the national COM
mittee in the hope that Chairman Hilles
will call a committee within the next
two or three weeks.
Senator Cummins and others are un-
derstood to be determined to bring
about the holding of a convention by
other means If the national committee
fails to act within short time.

TOPOGRAPHY OF
CITY OF DAYTON
Local Man Unable to Get
Word of Relatives in
Flood Stricken City

H. A. Burns, who up to three years ago
lived in Dayton, o., but who now makes
his home in Birmingham, at the Young
Mems Christian association, was an anxi-
GUS inquirer at the office of The Age
Herald last night for news from the flood
stricken~eity. Mr.. Burns stated that he
had spent the day in an endeavor to
get into communication with Dayton
where number of relatives reside, but
had only been able to get a small town
about 30 miles from Dayton at o'clock
last night. Since then, he said, he had
not been able to get any further than
Cincinnati
''The city of Dayton" said Mr.. Burns
lis in an elbow of the Miami river The
river comes in from the east and almost
divides the town in half. 1t curves south
dividing the residence section from the
business district and curves west resum-
ing its original direction shortly after
leaving the outskirts of the city.
The greater portion of the town is
lower than the river. The water, If it
were high enough to break the levee,
would be higher than the business dis
trict and would tnundate many blocks"

JOSEPH EMPHASIZES
DEMOCRATIC FEATURES

M. V. Joseph, chairman of the finance
committee of the potlatch festival made a
few remarks as to the evident success
of the movement. He emphasized the
democratic feature of the festival. 1T

said. ut is for everybody. Birmingham
has been unjustly criticised at times on
occasions of this kind because it was said
few men took the lead in movements
of this kind and ran off with all the
honors. This is different. There is no
few men; the potlatch belongs to every
body and everybody tomorrow can prove
bis or her interest by buying buttons"
Mr.. Turner then explained some details
of the campaign and of the festival it.
self He stated that the festival was
to be on a larger scale than most people
believed and that many would be sur
prised when they once saw the actual
events of the big celebration
Asa Rountree then read a letter from
Randolph st. John of Sylacauga, asking
tor the first button by mail, check for
one dollar being enclosed. Orders were
then presented for a button from Nash
vile and one from Portland, Me. Harry
Jones announced that he had already
taken c. o. d. orders for over 100 but
tons, and so it went.
Finally Chairman Turner interrupted
and began to call off the % chairmen OF
the teams. AS each man was called off
he took a place along the wall In front
of the audience and after the % had been
ramey, they began with No. l first
and so on, each picking a team member
This was kept up until every man in
the house had been chosen on some team

districts which each captain was to cover

JOHN SPARROW MAKES
THE FIRST SPEECH

John Sparrow was the first speaker
called upon by the chairman and in a
bristling, heart-to-heart talk that spark
led with the energy and enthusiasm of
the man behind it, the meeting was start
co off in a whirl of enthusiasm. Mr..
Sparrow told what the potlatch was.
what 1t meant and how it was to be
done 1T is something like this that Bir-
mingham needs,' he declared, something
like this to pull everybody together and
get us to working together. If the pot
latch festival, with It's central idea of
democracy, is a success. and we know
now II will be, it will instil the get
together spirit into the community and
after this Birmingham as a community
and city can get together and do any
thing it tries to do
Then came John l.. Parker and the
first thing he did was to barter his
" hiskers against the failure of the pot
latch He promised not to shave until
the 1900 buttons for the potlatch fes-
tival had been sold and declared that
1900 was not enough, that I'VE can sell
25,000 just as easy as 15,00O''
THE potlatch is all right" he said II
have been studying it for some time.
1t does not appeal to any particular
class, it is democratic, it is for everybody
and that is what Is going to make it a
success This is the chance for us to
show the world what we can do We
have been trading among ourselves so
much that it has become ridiculous This
is the chance for all the merchants to
become rich, for all the citizens of the
city to have a good time and for all
the people living anywhere near Bir-
mingham to come and have good time
and leave with the desire to come
again."
Il was greatly surprised at receiving
the invitation to come here as one of
the chamber live wires" exclaimed Dr..

Potlatch energy that has been yelling
ur in the breasts of birmingham boosters
for the past six weeks burst forth last
nieht in one of the most rousing get
together and all-pull-for-B Birmingham
meetings that has ever been held.
With one mighty war whoop that rang
and echoed through the corridors of the
Hotel Hillman the live wires of the
Chamber of Commerce assembled in the
banquet hail. organized themselves into
27 committees and completed their. plans
to get onto the warpath this morning
at 9 9so'clock and sell potlatch button
to every man and women they meet.
Old heads in the Chamber of Commerce
after the council of war broke up last
night and the braves and warriors were
indulging in the best buttermik and
sandwiches that ever touched human
lips, said that the meeting was the most
enthusiastic and expressive of the Great
er Birmingham spirit that they had ever
witnessed. Man. after man, during the
preliminary skirmishing, jumped to his
feet and bet anything from his whiskers
to his false teeth that the 1900 pot
latch buttons and hatpins would be sold
so quick it would rival the work of a
present day cyclone and that the great
potlatch festival to be held April "A and
25 would be the biggest success of any
celebration ever held in Birmingham.

hatpin will admit any person to the last
grand event of the festival on the night
of April 25 at East Lake park when an
Indian war dance and ball with spectac-
ular Indian pantomime acting will be
given.
Nothing else can gain admittance to this
last 'crowning event of the festival and
there are only 5000 buttons to be sold.
Chairman Turner stated last night that
there were many persons who did not be-
lieve that only 1900 of the buttons would
be sold, but he stated that neverthe-
less it was an absolute fact and not an
other button was in Birmingham or would
be ordered. The leaders in the potlatch
movement want the fact stressed that it
is not a moDey-making scheme, that they
need $4,000 to finance the scheme, no
more and no less; that they will raise
this by means of selling the buttons at
81 and then will sell no more.
Chairman Turner presided at the meet
ing last night. There were 100 live wires

son, it is reasonable to believe the
third league can travel on its old
steam. Unlike most of the recent So
called winter leagues, the Feds did
not start out last season with a top
heavy salary list. They began in a
small way and gradually gained the
respect of the fans, though gate re-
;eipts were not miraculously large.
But the new league secured foot
hold. 1t used strategy, and before the
older circuits woke up the Feds were
well organized and gathering force.
Critics who at first were disposed to
:reat the strangers lightly, gradually
reformed their opinions, and at the
close of last season the Feds were
recognized as an important cog in
the baseball world.
Another baseball war might not be
such bad idea. 1t would wake the |
magnates up to the duty they owe
the public. The fans, who really sup
port the clubs, would profit, for with
such competition bids would be made |
for their attendance.
A war cannot hurt the fan, and it |
certainly cannot hurt the game as a
popular sport We all want baseball, |
and we're going to have it. And when |
a fan gives up Is cents or a dollar for |
a seat he wants what he paid for.
Not mentioning any names, but it |
is about time we were receiving no |
tice that blue prints had been pre-
pared for new ball park on the |
West Side.
Joe Tinker conferred with local |
hackers of the Federal League team

strongly considering throwing his
fortunes with the new circuit. He will |
probably come to a decision before
