1t was announced yesterday that Of
ficiais of the Tidewater and the commits
sioners will confer today relative to the
franchise of that company asked for some
time ago. That the matter will be brought
up today and threshed ont is the general
opinion at the city hall No information
has been given out by she Tidewater or
the city about conditions under which
the franchise will be granted. The conf
pany wishes a franchise over 127 blocks of
the city. which If charge under the usual
blockage rates of $1,000 per block would
be $4,000 for the franchise rights. The
city has recently established a precedent
of charging gross amount of revenue
for a certain term of years for frachnses
in Birmingham. That is to be a consider
alton of the Tidewater franchise. The city
engineer has inspected the proposed route
and has recommended to the commission
that the franchise be granted. The de-
tails and financial consideration is up to
the commission.

WANTS BIRMINGHAM
Ito MAKE BIG EXHIBIT
BOwles Here-Plans for Ma
tional Conservation E1-
hibitiOn at Knoxville

j. L. Bowles, director of industrial ex-
hibits of the National Conservation ex-
position, which is to be held at Knoxville,
Tenn. from September 1 to November J.,
is taking up with the business organiza-
tions and manufacturers of Birmingham
the proposition of having this city cred
itably represented in the southern states
building, in which Baltimore, Atlanta,
Nashville and other cities are to have
large displays.
The southern states building is to be a
special feature and a great attraction
of the National Conservation exposition.
1t is designed to contain manufactured
products of the sixteen southern states,
the idea being to put the south on dis
play under one roof. One of the best
sections of this building, approximately
1000 square feet of space, has been re-
served for Birmingham exhibits. This
location is opposite the sections which
have been sold to Baltimore and Nash
Vile, and 1t is hoped Birmingham Will
have a showing equal to that of any
other city.
In the advertising campaign TO be put
on at once by the exposition manage
ment, throughout the north and west as
well as the south, the southern states
building and its exhibits will be featured
as an attraction of special interest to in
vestors. The exposition has the co-opera-
ton of the railroads operating in the
south. and a plan is being worked our
whereby the tide of travel will be turned
into and through the south by way of the
exposition, during the months of Septem-
ber and October.
The National Conservat tion exposition
grew out of plans inaugurated at Wash
ington by the leaders of conservation
work. under the direction of Clifford Pin
chot, and was awarded to Knoxville on
account of the preparedness of that city
and an agreement by business men and
others to finance the enterprise 1T is
national in scope with the south as its
special field. 1t is designed to promote
the highest development and best use of
the natural resources of the country; TO
illustrate the ways in which the wealth
in lands, forests, waters, minerals, wild
animal life and human efficiency may be
more effectively utilized; how modern
machinery lightens labor and increases
production; how many things that now go
to waste may be converted into sources
of revenue. Conservation in all fields of
human endeayor will be taught by object
lessons. This will be the special work
of the exposition directors who are among
the leaders of conservation in the United
States, and the conservation idea Will be
carried out in all departments extensive
exhibits of modern machinery and appl-
ances having been secured with this end
in view.
The National Conservation exposition
unlike expositons OF the past Is in no
sense celebration. It's object is to point
the way to better things-to better con-
ditions of life-and to conserve and make
the best use of the natural wealth OF
this country.

PARK COMMISSION
WILL MEET TODAY
Contract May BE Executed With
George H. MilIer-N. B. Stack
May Tender Resignation

A meeting of the park commission will
be held today. THE business will be
largely routine. A contract with George
II. Miller, the Bostoh landscape archi-
stect, may be executed. He has already
been engaged by the city commissioners
upon a recommendation of the park COM
mission.
The park commission may receive the
resignation of N. B. Stack this morning ii
he persists in a position assumed some
days ago. Mr. Stack opposed the appoint
ment of Mr.. Miller and joined Frank w.
Smith and Hugh Martin in asking for the
engagement of George Kestler of Kan
sas City. However, Mr.. Kaul and Mr..
Jenison requested the engagement of Mr..
Miller. The reports were made to the
city commission by the minority and the
majority Subsequently Mr.. Weatherly,
who organized the park commission, for
purposes of harnkony interviewed the
members of the majority which resulted
in Mr.. Smith anG Mr.. Martin joining with
MIR. Kaul and xMr Jemison in recon-
mending Mr. Miller. Mr.. Stack was in
Florida at the time of the conference
and could not be Asked for his views. His
recent return wa$ followed by a declara-
ton that he intended to resign.

pected to be present

TO HOLD CONFERENCE TODAY
ON TIDEWATER APPLICATION
FOR 1877 BLOCK FRANCHISE

The Tidewater officials, il is known, will
treat with the commission as long as pos
sible for the franchise and as long as a
vestige of chance appears for a favor
able. outcome. However, it is generally
believed that the company will be un-
willing to pay gross amount of revenue
for the franchise. The officials of me
company have no statement to issue as to
the position of the company on that feat
ure.
1t is known that more consideration is
being given the Tuscaloosa branch at this
time than any other proposition that con-
fronts the Tidewater. On that account it
is believed that unless the commissioners
are rather liberal with the Tidewater that
for the time being the project of building
on 127, blocks here will be abandoned.
The conference today will be partici-
pated in by Forney Johnston, representing
the company; Mr.. Morris, Mr. Brown,
general manager; the commissioners,
Walter G. Kirkpatrick, city engineer, and
Capt. Romaine Boyd, city attorney.

Shook, general manager of the Central
company; J. b. Murphy, first vice presi-
dent. of the Central Foundry company,
and w. G. Robinson, president of the
Birmingham Ore company, it was agreed
that under certain conditions the price
should vary. The iron was to be mined in
the Lone Pine mines of the plaintiff
company on Red mountain at the head of
Thirteenth street. and was to be delivered
+. Q. b. cars at the mines for shipment
to the furnaces of the defendant at Holt.
The plamtiff alleges that instead of ac-
ceptng theAstipulated 100000 tons in the
five years during the life of the contract
that the defendant company only accepted
for its use 29sps6 tons, leaving o6,ols
tons of the order untitled. and that there
by the plaintiff was damaged to the ex-
tent of the sum asked for. its profits
on the contract kwere cut off and that
labor and work 6one for the defendant
amounting to theAsum of $4,000 was also
unpaid.
The plaintiff is al well known local cor
poraton operating tand Incorporated un-
der the laws of alabama and the de-
fendant company is New Jersey COM
pany but operates 1 furnace at. Holt
The defendant is sQmmoned to appear n

yesterday by officials of that company.
Fred A. Morris said yesterday that If
the people along the Tidewater wanted
that service the officials would consider
placing it on and would do so if possible.

possessed was at the command of its
patrons and whatever services the Tide
