UNDERWOOD CLUB
WILLING TO DONATE
THE FUNDS ON HAND
Turner Says They Would
Rather Give 1895 to st.
James Hotel Than
Have Law Suit

In order to settle the suit which the
MANAGEMENT of the st. James hotel
Baltimore, has threatened to file against
Senator Bankhead and the officers OF
the Underwood Marching club of Ala
bama, the latter organization has Of
fered to remit the surplus which re-
mains in its treasury.
Announcement to this effect was
made yesterday by oscar c. Turner,
president of the club.
The amount involved in the threat
ened suit is s12oO The amount in the
treasury of the club is sS95. 1t cannot
be foretold by Mr.. Turner whether or
not the proposed compromise will be
accepted.
There is no question but that the
St James failed to carry out its con-
tract with the members of the club"
said Mr.. Turner yesterday morning
And it is very reasonable to suppose
that no damages would be awarded
by a jury. However, we desire If pos
sible to avoid legal controversy. We
have something like 1895 in the treas
ury The st. James may have the
amount if the st. James desires"
The suit which the Baltimore hotel
threatens is based on the ground that
the club did not spend with the hotel
as much money as 1t agreed to spend.
The club however, taking the ground
that the hotel did not furnish the ac-
commodations 1t contracted to furnish,
explained that it's members would not
remain at the hotel after they had seen
the improvised hostelry and tasted of
it's wares

COMMISSION LOOKS
WITH FAVOR ON THE
AUDITORIUM PLANS
No Definite Statement Made
But Members Appreciate
Importance of Erecting
Suitable Building

There appears to be little doubt but
what the city commission looks favorably
upon municipal bond issue to finance
the erection of a public auditorium. All
three members of the commission are OF
the opinion that it would be unwise for
them to advance any opinion as to their
positions on the matter before it is Of
ficialy laid before them by the commit
tee appointed for this purpose Friday by
the Chamber of Commerce.
From sentences that have been let drop
here and there occasionally when some
phase of the auditorium has been under
discussion in the past two or three weeks,
it is generally understood that all of the
commissioners, or at least two of them,
feel that the public auditorium is a mat
ter of great Importance to the immediate
future of the city and that any reason
able scheme will receive their lndorse-
mcnt.
Reports which have gained some eircu-
lation to the effect that the city had
reached its limit as fixed by law in re-
gard to bond issues is claimed to be er-
roneous The city is limited in this way
no restrictions would be felt from this
score in the matter of a municipal bond
issue for about $4,000 to erect this pro-
posed public auditorium. This auditorium
is intended to put the finishing touch to
Birmingham as convention city. With
the new hotels and the auditorium, bet
ter parks and other Improvements, 1t is
predicted Birmingham will soon become
the premier convention city of the south.
and it is the value Of the advertising re-
ceived by great conventions that is one
of the biggest arguments in favor of the
auditorium to city officials and others
who are backing the scheme.
The Chamber of Commerce is conduct
ing the campaign for the auditorium and
committee from this body will wait
upon the city commissioners in regard
to the bond issue in the near future.

IMPROVED MINE CAR
is PATENTED BY FOX
Main Feature Is Method of Lubrica-
tiOn-Axle Is Hollow and Filled
With Grease

Patents have recently been allowed to
j. F. Fox of this city covering an i'm
proved mine ear which Is now in opera
ton at Bessie mine of the Sloss-Sheffield
Steel and Iron company and the Mary
Lee mine at Lewisburg.
The Improvements consist in a novel
and very simple method of fastening
the wheels on the axle which necessitates
the use of but one bolt to hold two
wheels and the axle to the car body The
main feature, however, is the method of
fabrication, the axle being hollow and
is filed with liquid grease which flows
out of the axle into the wheel bearings,
giving constant fabrication under all con-
ditions These cars have been in use for
the past three months and give promise
of filling a long felt want in the min
Ing industry on account of the small
amount of power necessary to move them.
the low cost of fabrication and the sim
plicity of construction
Arrangements are now being completed
TO place these cars on the market at an
carly date.

professor Pallof's discoveries threw
some very important light on the COM
parative digestibility of various foods, y
eays Mr. Nespor. 1.-The former method of
estimating the digestiblity of food was to
first analyse the intestinal residue and
subtract the undigested remnant of each
particular class of food element from,
The amount originally taken in the food.
BY such means it was possible to show
that certain foods were, say so or 90
Cieestible as the case may be. By this
method no allowance was made for the
amount of nutrition or material that was
consumed by the body in the digestion Of
these particular foods.
"According to these Investigations milk
and meat were about equally digestble.
It was not known that the digestion of
the energy and nitrogen that is
necessary to digest meat or proteids from,
yece table sources. Thus it is obvious
that where it is desirable to get large
amount of available nitrogen Cor tissue

as little expenditure of energy as possi-
BILE milk is a food par excellent. This
is very logical insomuch as the sole pur-
nose of milk is food for animal life.
''The amount of acfdity in gastric juice
that must be secreted for the digestion
of meat is much in excess of that re-
ouired for given amount of vegetable
food. The amount Of acidity required Is
greatest for milk. second for meat and
least for bread. The digestive energy is
greatest for bread, second for meat and
least for milk. From TINS we learn thai
starchy foods are unsuitable for those
who are afflicted with hyperchlorhydra.

for the excess of acid prevents their
digestion, by neutraiizing the alkali Of

ONEAL'S THREAT HAS NOT

The threat of Governor O'Neal that
unless shackles are removed from the legs
of convicts. he will use in promiscous
fashion the great power of the pardon,

The board, however, has not assumed

CHIEF DETECTIVE
OF FRISCO HERE
Speculation Rife as to Object OF His
Visit Here-Declines to Make
ANY Statement

In local railroad circles there is con-
siderable speculation as to the visit
to Birmingham of C. J. Smith, chief
special agent for the Frisco lines. He
has been here for the past three days
in constant touch with many officials
but as yet the railroad men have not
intimated what the investigation is that
the chief of Frisco detectives is maxi
ing. He came here with the general
superintendent and a few other Off
cials and has been in constant COM
munication with Charles Barnes, spe-
cial agent of this division, since the
other officials left Birmingham.
Mr.. Smith, who is considered one of
road circles, was formerly chief of de-
sitions with S. Allander, former chief
special agent for the Frisco lines. He
is we'll known in Birmingham.
Mr.. Smith and his assistant declined
yesterday to make any statement in re-
gard to their work here. j. II. Jack
son, superintendent, and j. III. Daughty.
general agent for the Frisco, were un-
willing to even admit that they knew
the chief of detectives was here How
ever. in Frisco circles and elsewhere
there is said to be on here an investi-
cation of considerable Importance
which may become public soon. Mr..
Smith has been in conference with
several industrial operators since COM
ing to Birmingham.

Record
nv RICHARD F.. LUssIER

There were 81 unlawful homicldes in Jel-
ferson county in the last six months, ac-
cording to figures taken from the records;
of the county coroner's office yesterday.
OF these 81 unlawful homicides, eight vic
tins were white men and all but seven
were killed by beng shot with pistol.
Acting Coroner w. S. Russell, when
queried on The large number OF killings in
this county said: II find that the general
public are carrying pistols in jefferson
county and lcok on the carrying of.deadly
weapons with forbearance, the same as
upon any old, established custom"
The words of Judge Russell are signii-
cant in that he is en- old time resident Of
jefferson county and is fully cognizant
with conditions as they really are.
The records of the coroners Office
further show that 2S4 deaths We're invcs-
tigated by the coroner and acting coroner
during the first six months OF this year.
The law on these Investigations states that
the coroner shall investigate all deaths
where the cause of death is not publicly
known This shows that there were 2Si
more or less mysterious deaths in the
county.

chains, OF course, than to be criticized
because of wholesale escapes. 1t is a
matter of record that the few who have
escaped from our camp We're those who
were put upon the honor system.
There is unquestionably opposition on
the part of certain interests to our plan
of putting our conpcts on the road.
Governor O'Neal is opposed to the idea
Of working convicts on the roads. The
fact that we work our men in chains has
not aroused the ire of those who are
fri endly to the idea of working convicts
on the roads. 1t is possible that the
fact that or escapes have been confined
to those who were not chained has been
a Gispleasing matter
Should chains be removed from the legs
of convicts, it is The opinion of the board
of revenue and the city government that
it would no longer be feasible to keep
convicts ON the roads and streets. Should
road making by convict labor be imprac-
ticable, the board could return its con-
vcts 10 the mine and reap a harvest
of dollars. But The city could not and
its financial strong box would soon be
as thoroughly depleted as is the strong
box OF the state at the present time.

"The Honorable City Commissioners, Bir-

"Gentlemen: In the matter of award
ing contract for the construction of nine
temporary school buildings it seems that
all hands round are willing that the

ing Contractors association, in which the
following criticisms of the board of edu-

have decided not to Interfere etc. With
this statement we beg to advise that the
