The mass meeting held by the Bir-
mingham Pastors union yesterday aft
ernoon in the Orpheum theatre in OPP
position to the operation of moving
pictures on Sunday was peaceful.
Contrary to reports which were In
circulation earlier in the week there
was no mention made of the recall OF
City Commissioner A. o. Lane because
he has come out in favor of moving
pictures operating on Sunday. The
threatened petition looking to Judge
Lanes recall was absent.
There were about 1000 persons pres

tions from the various Baptist and
Methodist churches and Baraca, Ep-

Rev. ]. w. Johnson. vice president
of the Pastors union. before intro
ducing the chairman of the mass meet
ing, said few words about the evils
of making money ON Sunday from
moving pictures. The expense borne by
the committee in hiring the theatre and
printing notices of the meeting amount
ed to a little more than $50, accord
ing to DR.. johnson. and he detailed
several nshers to pass through the au-

CALL IS MADE TO
REV. H. N. EDMONDS
Report of Committee Adopt
ed by South Highlands
Presbyterians

As was anticipated, the committee
appointed to recommend successor to
the late Rev ]. r. Plunket of the
South Highlands Presbyterian church,
reported the name of Rev. II. n. Ed
monds, pastor of the First Presbyte-
rian church of Montgomery in the con-
gregational meeting held yesterday
morning to hear the report of the COM
mittee.
Following the report the congrega-
ton unanimously voted to accept it,
and further instructed the committee
to extend call to DR.. Edmonds and To
urge him to accept it.
1t was reported last week that DR..
Edmonds would decline any call from
Birmingham as he felt quite satisfied
with his work in Montgomery, but ac-
cording to a member of the committee
yesterday representations will be made
to DIR. Edmonds that will in all like
lihood cause him to change his deter
mination to remain in Montgomery.

MATTER NOW RESTS
WITH JUDGE GRUBB
CO. Receiver of Bankrupt Company
Returns from Baltimore and An
nounces Agreement Reachcd
By the Committee

Completed plans for the reorganization
of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and
Iron company were announced here yes
terday by Harry w. Coffin. co-receiver,
upon his return from Baltimore.
The reorganization committee offers to
assume all mortgages Of the company,
pay off all the unsecured debts dollar
for dollar pay the cost of administration
and place the corporation on substantial
operating basis, and in consideration
therefor will take over the company prop
critics.
An application will be made this morn
ing to Judge William l. Grubb of the
federal court to set time for the sale of
properties and approve the offer made by
the reorganization committee to Mr.. Cof-
fin in Baltimore. 1t is expeeted that
Judge Grubb will take prompt action. and
that if nothing unexpected occurs the
Alabama Consolidated should have new
name and become the property Of new
owners within the next 80 or 40 days.
This is the opinion of Mr.. Coffin.
COMMITTEE ON
REORGANIZATION
The reorganization committee is COM
posed of Joshua lowering, r. Lancaster
williams, John Shelton Williams, Henning
Jenkins, j. William Middendorf and w.
A. Perkins of Washington. That COM
rittee has now in its possession 100000
shares of the preferred stock out of 1,20o,-
600 shares, and a substantial majority or
the common stock. The committee has
handled the details of the reorganization
carefully and is prepared to begin at once
to carry out its offer. In token of good
faith the committee executed to Mr.. Cof-
fin a check for $4,000 to back up the
proposition.
Mr.. Coffin yesterday made this state
ment in connection with his trip and the
PLANS of the reorganization committee:
1.-THE committee Offers (a) TO assume
all mortgages and the sinking fund OF
the Alabama Consolidated, OBJ to pay
every unsecured creditor dollar for dollar,
(c) to pay the cost of administration and
then take over the property in consider
alton OF their services.
In other words, the reorganization
committee offers to take the company,
ray its debts and secure thereby the
properties. That committee represents l.
900 shares of the preferred stock and
a substantial amount of the common. The
committee is composed of well known and
wealthy men who will make this company
great success, l believe, If it is placed
in their hands.

MAKE APPLICATION TO
JUDGE w. |. GRUBB


An application will be made to Judge
W. l. Grubb this morning to set a time
for the sale of the properties. The en-
tire matter is in the hands of the court.
ana it is with Judge Grubb to say how
long it will take to rearrange the COM
pany's affairs. l should say offhand that
If everything goes well the whole matter
should be closed up within 80 days. 1t
may take few days longer If nothing
unforeseen happens. One gratifying feat
ure in connection with the offer OF
the committee is that every unsecured
creditor is to be paid every cent coming
to him upon the adjudication of this case.
1.-THE company will be reorganized under
a new name, and new officers will be
named to operate the properties. No men,
tion so far as / know has been made as to
the name of the new company or the
names of those who will be in charge OF
the operations. That rests entirely with
the reorganizing committee as does the
matter of the company's future policy.
Il do not think any members of the
reorganization committee will be here
until the time of sale of the properties.
On that day they will buy in the proper
ties for those they may nominate and then
change the name and start developing"
COMPANY is BIG
FACTOR LOCALLY
The plans of the Alabama Consolidated
are of great interest in local circles. The
company possesses very valuable proper
ties and has been an industrial factor in
this community for many years. 1t was at
one time operated by the late Col. T. G.
Bush. Afterward j. II. Hoadley was
president and subsequently Harrison S.
Matthews was in charge. Following a
series of stock manipulations, the COM
psny was thrown in bankruptcy. Harry
W. Coffin and We. Leake of this city,
two widely known business men, We're
named co-receivers Since that time,
about one year ago, they have been op-
Grating the plants under the direction
of the federal court. They have made
quite success of the operations and have
made fatterlng report monthly to the
court.
In the meantime there was some gos-
sip that the company was TO be merged
with the Southern Iron and Steel COM
pany. That programme was in the hands
of Cecil Grenfell of LONDON, we'll renem-
bered here, and j. II. Hoadley, but their
plans never materalized.

Committee on Resolutions

While denunciary speeches were be-
ing made against the alleged moving
picture evil the chair appointed COM
mittee composed of Bishop ]. II. Mccoy,
Rev. H. p. Atkins. Rev. Preston Blake,
J. e. Davis, Rev ]. b. Cummings to
frame set of resolutions protesting
to the city commissioners against the
operation of moving pictures ON sun
day. The committee reported reso-
lutions on which no opposition was
manifested and the committee selected
Capt. Frank s. White to present the
resolutions to the commissioners.
Rev. A. J. Dickinson, pastor of .he
First Baptist church, who made an at
tack on Judge Lane at last Thurs
days meeting of the Pastors union and
who later issued a statement in which
he stated: I'm all probability there will
be a petition presented at the mass
meeting for Judge Lanes recall" had
the steam roller" passed over him by
the committee in charge. for during
the entire meeting DIR. Dickinson did
not speak.
Rev. J. S. Persinger another pastor
who assailed Judge Lane at last
Thursdays meeting. was present but
said nothing.
The speakers of the meeting were
Capt. Frank S. White, Rev. j.. &.
Branscomb and Judge 5. D. Weakley.
The remarks Of the three speakers
were practically identical in meaning
as they confined themselves strictly to
the alleged evils of the moving Pic
ture theatre operating on sunday.

Captain White Speaks

'If Sunday is to be commerciali1ed,' y
said Captain White, "let US have the bull
fight baseball open saloon, the cock pit
dog fight, horse racing and open all COM
mel cial establishments. All these various
amusements have as much right to be
open on sunday as the moving picture
shows The excuse given you for the
privilege of opening these shows Is char
itN. a part of the proceeds will go TO
charity why not open the saloons on
Sundays? The proprietors ] am sure VIII

to charity and a larger share than the
moving picture men who in a few months,
II tile permit to open on Sunday is grant
ed to them, will appeal TO the commls-
sion that the share they give to charity
Is driving them to bankruptcy and seek to
have it decreased, and the commissioners
will readily accede to their request
The Rev. l.. c. Branscomb said: Judge
Lane few weeks ago in speech before
the Chamber of Commerce urged the peo-
PIE of Birmingham to get together. We
arc all with him in that sentiment We
want TO get together; but if the permit
for Sunday opening Is granted there Will
be a dividing Judge Lane said something
about charity and that leaders of char

Sundays to get a part of the proceeds. !

in my opinion those leaders OF charlties
are betraying the holy Sabbath. and

all such charities that get their support

Jrdge Weakley also made a lengthy
address along the same lines as Captain
White and DR.. Branscomb. Prayer was
