DIR. DENNY is GLAD HIS
ACTION MET APPROVAL
President of University Says the New Regulations Regarding
Dancing Are Approved By Great Body of Students.
Not Intended to Reflect Any Individual
Organization.

"The University of Alabama belongs
to the taxpayers of this God-fearing COM
monwealth. do not hesitate to say that,
so long as l am charged with the respon-
sibility of conducting the affairs of the
institution, it shall be a place where the
most conscientious father may send his
son, feeling absolutely assured that he
shall have, not only the best instruction,
but also the right kind of guidance and
oversight.
Il need only add that, in establishing
these regulations at this particular time,
it was not intended to reflect on any in
dividual or any organization. | am glad
to leave that method of procedure to
others who believe in that kind of thing.
On the contrary, 1t is a gracious privilege
to say, as | have frequently said in the
past that the moral and spiritual tone
of the student body of the University OF
Alabama is as fine as any that / have
known-and this is saying a great deal.
am absolutely certain that this splendid
group of young men will Overwhelmingly
favor any action that clearly expresses
to the world the high and exacting stand
ards that Nso powerfully dominate the
actual life of the institution.
Il am assured that the new regula-
tions are approved not ONLY by the
young men who do not participate in the
dances (and they constitute the great ma
Jority), but also by very large per-
centage of those who do rurticipate.

President George II. Denny of the Uni
versity of Alabama yesterday issued a
statement further setting out his views
on the recent regulations relating to dane
ing The subject has aroused intense in
terest all over the state and DR.. Denny s
last statement is an interesting chapter
in the matter. He says:
II am deeply gratified to find that the
new regulations relating to dances given
at the University of Alabama have been
received with such widespread approval.
/ am sure that the desire of our young
men is that the University of Alabama
shall be second to no institution of the
country in all the essentials that deter
mine the standing of great seat of
learning.
II am quite ready to credit the state
ment recently made to a reporter of The
Age-Herald to the effect that nothing
occurred at the recent dances given by
our students that is not constantly oc-
curing at social functions given in other
communities That, however, is not the
point The University of Alabama is
charged with the duty of setting an abso-
lutely correct example in all things. 1t
is certainly not under any obligation to
follow any fashion or fad that its faculty
disapproves.

WILL SPEND THREE
OR FOUR DAYS HERE

The Pennsylvania men were tired
after their journey when they arrived
in Birmingham last night and after
short conference which they gave to
a representative of the press they re-
tired for the night SO as to be rested
and ready for their automobile trip
to the site of their proposed plants this
morning They will return to the motel
tonight and expect to be in Birming-
ham three or four days, leaving for
their homes probably Saturday. They
stated that they would probably have
day or two.
The plants which are to be erected
now, 1t Is claimed, are only units Of
what eventually will become one OF
the largest and most important indus
tries in the south. 1t is pointed out
that with the close proximity OF the
raw materials and the fuel, the produc-
tion will be very cheap and the raw
materials are such that the finished
product will be of an extremely high
class Further than this, Ii is pointed
out that the market for the product
will be very large, the plant being
located on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad about % miles north of Bir-
mingham and with good connection
from this city to all of the important
cities of the south. Not only this, but
1t is claimed the consumption of cement
in the southern states is far below
normal and that when this Is de-
veloped to its full capacity by local
plants it will increase the market de-

foresight and a clear-cut purpose. 1t Is
a business proposition from beginning
to end and while we believe it will
mean much to Birmingham and to Ala

become interested in it, we do not
want any flare up in the newspapers
We are not after notoriety we mean

AT the same time we realize that the
newspapers and the people of Birming-

what we are doing and are going to
do, and from time to time we will en-

lars in which they could be interested,

ROTARY CLUB HAS
BUSY DAY SELLING
POTLATCH BUTTONS
Members Will Have ROusing
Luncheon Today to Hear
Reports on Results
Achieved

The IS members of the Rotary club viii
meet at luncheon today at l O'Clock at
the Gold Lion tea room, and make a re-
port on potlatch button campaign Of
the last two days
Under the captaincies of Bert Jacobs,
Ernest Redd Hale V. Tarrant and George
r. Wheelock. the Rotary club divided it,.
self into four teams. selling potlatch but
tons on four prominent corners in the
city. They served a twofold purpose:
The flood sufferers were aided and Bir-
mingham boosted by their efforts Many
Rotarians suffered In the floods through
out the middle west, the secretary of the
Rotary club of Dayton losing his life.
When the call for aid went out from the
stricken district, the International Asso-
citation of Rotary clubs and the Individual
clubs of the country were among the first
to respond. The Rotary club of Birming-
ham sent a liberal cash donation, and is
now aiding by other means.
j. d. Moore, president of the Moore
& Handley Hardware company, will be
speaker at the Rotary luncheon today,
and Willard j. Wheeler, president of the
Wheeler Business college, will distribute
souvenirs, a feature of every luncheon.
About 20 new members will be given the
Rotarian handshake for the first time at
the luncheon.
In addition to the work of the Rotary
club yesterday the regular teams of the
Chamber of Commerce were hard at work
on the sale of the potlatch buttons and
from the Indications of business done ~
the combined forces within the last two
days 1t appears as though the announce
ment that the 1900 potlatch buttons had
been exhausted will soon be made.
Detailed reports from the sales forces
within the last three or four days have
not been secured and when a final check
ing up is done within the next few days
l. is believed that there will be but few
buttons left. The interest in the potlatch
festival, April "a and %. had developed
renewed strength lately and few men are
now seen on the streets without button.
One man was found yesterday without
button and who said he had not been
asked to buy one by anybody. lie refused
to state where he had been the past week,
but as he did say that he was perfectly
willing to part with dollar IL asked 20
buy a potlatch button. it is probable he
will be asked" in the very near future
The chairman of the various sub-com-
mittees in charge of the details are hard

other $1,000 to the aid of the food and

IR|GHTSARE GIVEN
ON 21ST STREET
With Exum Voting No, the
Kelley Co. Is Allowed Use
of One Block

With Commissioner Exum voting in
the negative, the Kelley interests yes
terday received final authority to use
Twenty-first street. which caused a
recent street railway war.
A check for $1,000 was deposited,
made payable to the city comptroller,
and was signed by w. f. Kelley. sec
retary and treasurer of the Kelley
Realty company. The check was certi-
fled by Steiner Brothers. The payment
yesterday of $1,000 for the Twenty
first street franchise was taken as in
dicating very strongly to the commits
sion that the Kelley street railway viii
be built and that details are shaping
themselves very satisfactorily to those
interested in the venture. The commits
sioners passed the Kelley Twenty first
street matter some time ago with Mr..
Exum voting no and action yesterday
was merely a formality
At the time the Kelley check for
$1,000 was deposited by n. l.. Miller.
attorney for the company. n delega-
tion of West End citizens appeared and
asked for franchise known as the
West End loop for. the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company at
even less than 800 per block. The two
differences in amounts for public util-
ity corporations was emphasized by the
Kelley interests and also By Mr.
Weatherly who is opposed to the re-
cent grants in Norwood. West End
and North Birmingham.
Mr. Exum pointed out the differences
In the locations and let the matter pass
at that. However. In view OF the fact
that Mr.. Kelley wired here from New
York protesting against the unremu-
nerative franchises the matter WAS
passed as to West END.

Field in the South

Birmingham natural resources have

Believing that they have discovered
field of raw materials which is prac-
ticaIly inexhaustible and from which can
be manufactured one of the best grades
of Portland cement at the smallest cost
of production known, a party of Penn
sylvania capitalists and business men
arrived in Birmingham yesterday after
noon and registered at the Hotel Hill
man.
They are the officials and organizers
of the Bount Mountain Cement, Coal
and Lime company, who have acquired
some 1886 acres of land at Village Springs,
Blount county, just across the northern
border of jefferson county, on the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad.
They plan to erect on that property a

KELLEY PROTESTS
AGAINST THE PRICE
TOB.R.,L. P. CO.
Says Granting Opposition
Franchise at $1O0 Per
Block Will Handicap
Him in His Project

Another street railway war is an
parently brewing. In a telegram to
Commissioner James Weatherly from
New York, George c. Kelley says that
If the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company is charged only 500
per block for franchises without any
revenue clauses or other restrictions
such action is liable to be fatal TO his
plans. He had special reference 20
the West End franchises, it is under
stood.
That the West End loop to Fair
view is the key to a very profitable
line for both the Kelley interests and
the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company, is the general idea at
the city hall. Mr.. Kelley in his tele-
gram said that it was not fair to make
his company pay $500 per block and a
gross amount of revenue for a long
term of years and to give the Bir-
mingham Railway Light and Power
company the same rights for 500. a
block and no other conditions what
ever
The message of Mr.. Kelley created
considerable interest at the commission
meeting and further action on the
franchises was passed until Mr.. Kelley
can get here and personally protest.
The fact that the Kelley interests filed
at the same time a certified check for
$1,000 for the Twenty first street fran
chise was one of the chief reasons the
request was complied with. That Mr..
Kelley proposes to fight for the West
End loop and oppose granting of rights
so cheap to another company is very
well understood at the city hall. Mr..
Weatherly is friendly with the Kelley
ambitions and will be favorable to them
because of his well known opposition
to the recent grants

IDEAL LOCATION FOR
PRODUCING BIG OUTPUT

The company's land has on it deposits
of limestone and shale, the raw materials
from which Portland cement is made 1t
also contains large deposits of coal, which
will be mined for fuel to operate the
immense cement plants. The coal de-
posits will also be worked with the pur-
pose of marketing some of the product.
The company proposes to manufacture
Portland cement lime, hydrated lime and
fiuxing stone. 1t is estimated the ce-
ment plant will produce, when in opera
ton, half a million barrels of cement
annually and that the iuxing stone plant
will produce not less than 1000 tons
daily.
The officials and organizers will make
trip to Village Springs by automobile
this morning and return to Birmingham
tonight. They have with them an expert
engineer, who will be placed in charge
of the property and construct the plants
