The women of Birmingham have sud
denly discovered they can vote, and the
discovery has been followed by action
from all quarters.
The women members of the churches
and charity organizations and the frater-
nal organizations have taken a decided
interest in the Potlatch election contests
now that It is well under way and indi-
cations are that the double election by
the time the polls close April % will
be one of the hardest fought battles of
the ballot held in Birmingham in many
days.
The ladies have taken up the campaign

themselves. selling the buttons and solicit
ing votes from those who buy and have
bought. Besides the S240 prize that will
go to the winning church or charity and
also to the winning labor or fraternal or
ganization, there is much honor attached
to the two winning organizations as the
vote is to be for the most popular two
organizations. one of each of the two
divisions in the city.
The sale of the buttons is progressing
very nicely. The committees now report
to the chamber headquarters. Letters

The property, 1t seems, has recently
been found to belong to the government

I'm Washington" said he, II will have
an interview with the President, and /
believe that 1t is quite probable that he
will be willing that such use be made of
the land. If the government authorizes
such a course, we will begin immediate
plans for the preparation of the park.
1t Is ideal for animals, extensive enough
to guarantee fine range and the river
dividing it in halves, will not only serve
the animals as source of drinking
Water, but will permit those which swim
to indulge in this pleasure
IF the park Is created 1t will be one
of the most beautiful in the south or
the country. It will be no trouble to ac-
qulre the animals. Abundance of water
will permit us to keep those animals aud
fowls which require deep water. The en-
tire scheme is to me a most beautiful one
and l believe that in the near future 1t
will be materialized."
Mr. Wallace will remain in the east
for about 10 days.

CITY WILL NOT BUY
EAST LAKE PARK NOW
Exum Says Financial Condi-
ton Precludes Consider
alton of Matter


President Culpepper Exum of the city
commission indicated yesterday regret
fully that the city was mot in a position
to take up the purchase of East Lake
park as a city park property That the
grounds were valuable for park purposes
and very attractive was Mr. Exums ref
erence to that land
The financial condition Of the city
said Mr. Exum, who is in charge of city
finances, are such just now as to pre-
vent the city from taking up the purchase
of East Lake. ] believe that land of
great value and all Birmingham citizens
know how attractive ii is. At this time
the city is not ready to enter into nego-
tiations for the purchase of it for park
purposes. However. some time later when
the financial conditions are better. the
city will probably become more interested
than at the present, owing to our cramped
condition."

Order of the Com
mission

The proprietors Of fruit stands on the
downtown corners were busily engaged
in moving their wares into stores yester-
DAY in accordance with the recent order
of the city commission requiring them to

In nearly every instance the proprietors
succeeded in getting stores near their
former places of business and were only
temporarily inconvenienced by the change.
In many instances the dealers had taken
time by the forelook and moved early in
March. Only a small number waited un-
til the time limit expired.
Some of these called on Commissioner
Exum and told him that they had Sc
cured stores, but had been unable to
move prior to yesterday they said they
would be able to get off the streets with
in a week.
Mr.. Exum extended the time limit for
week or 10 days, but was emphatic in
saying that there was no change in the
original order.
