The Bucolic Conductor VS..

Finding he could not get anything more
from the conductor. he turned in his seat,
and addressing himself half to the con-
ductor and half to the passengers said
in loud and somewhat contemptuous
tone of voice:
It wonder why the. Birmingham Rail
way, Light and Power company persist
in employing country boys when there
are plenty of intelligent city youths to be
had?"
The car had stopped to discharge a
passenger. Everyone on the car awaited
the reply of the conductor. With his hand
on the bell cord, and his watchful eye on
the rear of the car. he ingenuously re-
piled:
II don't know, mister. but reckon
it is because we country boys are more
used TO handling cattle than the city
chaps"

lence.
In the rear of the car sat a clergyman.
whose face was still wreathed in a broad
smile as the conductor passed. The boy

pered. THAT last stick fetched down the

Overwhelming Majority In
Favor of the Proposition
Is Expected
PEOPLE URGED TO
GO TO THE POLLS
Movement Started When Harding Was
Inaugurated President of the
Chamber of Commerce and
Vigorous Fight Waged

The polls will open this morning at 8
o'clock and will remain open until 6
o'clock p. M, in order that the people of
Birmingham may vote for bond issue
OF 100000 to finance the erection of q
municipal auditorium. Last night, on the
eve Of the election, much optimism pre-
vailed in Chamber of Commerce circles
where the auditorium campaign was orig
mated and it is confidently expected that
Birmingham will be we'll ON the road to
having big auditorium for the use of
the people at the close of today
All citizens are urged to go to the polls
today, as it is desired TO have as large
majority in favor of the bond issue
as there was for calling the election. This
is entirely possible, say officials, IL the
citizens will only go to the polls and vote
Especial stress has been laid on this fea-
ture of the election and activity among
those who have advocated the election
will probably be along this line today
The auditorium movement for Birming-
ham was started by w. p. @. Harding
upon his Inauguration as president of the
Chamber of Commerce last spring. He
announced that the purpose of his adj
ministration would be to secure the erec
tion of an auditorium in which could be
adequately handled large conventions
which, he pointed out, the city could
easily secure with the proper accommoda-
tions. In line with his announced policy
he appointed an auditorium committee
which Immediately went to work. The
city commission was asked to call an
election for a bond issue for the audi
torium which they did after the citizens
had expressed themselves in favor of
holding such an election.
A vigorous campaign of education has
been waged in connection with the audi
torium movement in Birmingham. The
great benefits which will accrue to Blr-
mingham from an auditorium have been
shown to the public. a number of con-
ventions which would have done much
for. the city, but which went elsewhere
on account of inadequate aecommoda-
tions here, were called to the attention
of the people. What other cities have
done with like buildings was demon
strated and numerous reasons advanced
for the construction of such a building.
III auutioh " lniS iileiipSis u tns Nndhi-
ber of Commerce committees have done
much personal work and feel much en-
couraged at the prospect Of the success
of their iabors today.
With the holding of the election today
the connection of the Chamber OF Com
merce with the auditorium closes. The
building win be constructed and man
aged by the city and the civic chamber
will have nothing to do with it any more
than private citizen
Pascal Shook said last night that he
had nothing to add to his last statement
except to urge all voters to go to the
polls today and roll up an overwhelming
majority for the issue of 100000 worth
of bonds to finance the erection of a civic
auditorium in Birmingham.

at the end of 30 days the time was ex-
tended to 80 days, and indefinitely, until
the superior court was appealed to for
an injunction, and that district was
closed by injunction. But the police de-
partment took no hand in trying to
keep them from opening in another part
of the city. Consequently they. built an
other district with larger and finer
houses for this special purpose just as
though 1t was perfectly legal and
legitimate business.
I'VE had had a segregated district in
Atlanta ever since Atlanta had been a
city until about year ago. and the
sentiment had always prevailed that
they could not be closed Where this
sentiment originated Is question in my
mind. But I think it has been kept
alive mostly by the men who frequent
and the men who profit financially from
such places. Under the segregation pla n
the open house of vice means police pro-
lection In flagrant violation of the law
Men may and will violate the law.
but 1t is not necessary that they should
do SO. But the time has come when the
man, whether he be official or citizen,
who attempts to bring back the old
conditions In the cities where recognized
houses of i'll fame have been closed, will
be contemplate before the people. | do
not expect any city to attain perfec-
tlon, out 90 say tnat We nave better
conditions in Atlanta, and men all over
our land are organizing to push this
movement for the uplift and betterment
of mankind i hope that great good
will be done through your efforts in
Birmingham, and that the work will go
on until every city in the United States
will take this question up and break
the bonds that bind the cities and the
vice promoters together, and release the
unfortunate slaves from a life of eternal
ruin. And when my time as police
officer shall come to an end, hope to
retire with the assurance that l have
done something for humanity's sake, and
that all Of my work has not been in

WIVES OF JAMESTOWN
WELL WORTH SEEING

is now being shown al the Royal The
atre, entitled The Wives OF James

most fascinating of all historical plays
produced so far.
II Is fun of action and holds the
attention throughout. no 'padding" TO
make the 1000 feet Of film. There
are fine ont door settings-as the
scene in front OF the castle where Bry-
an with his flute plays for Lady Ger
aldine: OF the meadow, with the brook
in the BACKGROUND and the COWS graz
ing: of the garden where Bryan SIR
urises Lady Geraldine; on the ship
tearing Bryan away from Ireland, the
shores and hills of Old Erin in the
distance: of the canoe in which the
newcomer descends the placid river
to jamestown to attend the sales OF
wives and also the return OF John
Pierce and his bride over the same
route these latter scenes marking a
striking piece OF photography, al
though this is fine throughout; the
grove where was staged the sale Of
the women from the other side.
Above and beyond all else in this
feature, however. is the dramatic
quality There are many intense
scenes which show the touch of 4 mas
ter hand. II is safe TO say il is one
of the best that has been presented
here this season and that means
great deal when one remembers some
Of the great masterpieces that have
been shown at the Royal Theatre re-
Gently. This picture will be on the
bill at the Royal again tonight when
il will be shown for the last time and

That Leo s Brown with the Great
Northern traffic department did not
spend the night as a prisoner of Gen.

Of his. Blame lay with L. S. troopers
who permitted him to cross the line
yesterday afternoon. To the credit Of
the troopers they afterwards saw 10
IL that he got back in saIety. In the
interim there were a few trying nom.
ents which Brown will remember AMI
In which his lie hung by a thread.
Brown is here on visit from Sc

half a dozen federal soldiers bore
down upon him. Brown beat it toward

he did so. Unaware that he was on

and was placed under arrest. His

when a colOred trooper who had Wit

spoken with Brown before he crossed
the line, came 10 the fence and told
him his situation. At the same time
he reached to his hip pocket and com
