CHAUTAUQUA WILL BE HELD NEXT YEAR Contract Agreed to Between Mrs. Harrington and
 Redpath Bureau

The 1914 ehautauqua closed a successful engagement here last night with light opera concert by the Kellogg -Haines Sing ing party and East park, which has been crowded twice daily for the past week, will be deserted except for the small boys.
 The 1914 chautauqua was much more successful than the one last year for a number of reasons The principal one was the weather. It rained nearly every day last year while this season not q drop fell during the week. Then, too, Birmingham people were more familiar with what chautauqua is and the class of entertainment that is offered
 1t is confidently anticipated that the attendance next year will be larger than 1t was this season and in this expecta- tion the Redpath bureau has executed a contract for 1915. Mrs. George F. Har- rington, chairman of the local chautau- qua board, announced that such con tract had been agreed to, the exact dates to be announced later.
 The closing attractions at the chautau- qua yesterday were two concerts by the Kellogg -Haines company and a lecture by Montavile Flowers on Color Guard and Picket Line.''

Kansas City, Mo-, May 27.-The general assembly of the Presbyterian church in /the United States (southern went on record late today as opposed to the use of tobacco among clergymen. candidates for the ministry and church officials. The Rev. J. S. Lyons, Louisville, Ky, re- tiring moderator. recommended on behalf of the committee on bills and overtures that the assembly reply in the negative to an overture that it should discourage tobacco.
 This is a convention he said We did not meet here to quibble over small matters of personal habit, but to settle some of the great questions troubling our church."
 The assembly overrued Dr. Lyons and adopted the overture.
 When the committed on systematic beneficence presented it's report several commissioners, led by the Rev. Egbert w. Smith, Atlanta, Ga, executive secre- tary of the foreign missions committed pleaded that no change be made in the handling of the funds of the women's auxiliary.

 rial home be erected and dedicated to the family of the fallen chief and the fami- lies of such other officers as may lose their lives in the discharge of duty was oheered.

 Particular stress was placed by the representatives of the court on the ne- cessity of individual responsibility in the assumption of jury duty as means of wiping out the blind tiger evil, all jurors being warned to keep their oath inviolate and guard themselves against approach by representatives of organ ized vice, as 1t is said has been done at times in this county
 Besides the speakers, Solicitor w. c. Tunstall and numerous others of all walks and stations of life sat upon the platform and placed themselves on record as being in sympathy with the purpose of the meeting. powerful sentiment has been created against the tiger evil as a result of the killing of Shiretzki and the people of Anniston have been stirred to law enforcement as they were never stirred before.

CONTRACTORS TO PROTEST Petition Will Be Presented to Com.
 mission Asking a Hearing

A numerousy signed petition to the city commissioners will be presented against the ordinance passed at the Tuesday meeting of the commissioners requiring all foremen employed on any building job to take out license at $95 and requiring all contractors to furnish to the build- ing inspector a bond for the compliance with the city specifications in buildings.
 These petitioners allege that it will be class legislation and in the interest of the large and wealthy contractor will entirely eliminate competition and will work great hardship to the small man, the carpenter. employer of day labor, and builder who desires to do his own build- ing with day labor.
 These petitioners assert that the ordi- nance was assed at the suggestion of one contractor and that very large majority of the laborers, contractors and builders are opposed to such a law and ask that they be given an opportunity Of being heard in their protest They also ask the commissioners to suspend the new ordinance until after they can be heard.

HERMAN HOvELSRUD
 COMMITS SUICIDE
Hires Room At Hillman and After Deliberate Meal
 Fatally Shoots Himself

Herman Hovelsrud. a telegraph oper- ator employed by the local office of the Postal Telegraph company, hired a room at the Hotel Hillman about 6:3O o'clock last night and after en- toying an excellent dinner in the cafe went to his room and shot himself through the mouth. inflicting a mortal wound. He died at St. vincent's hos ptal at 2:3O o'clock this morning.
 Hovelsrud was very deliberate in his plans for his own demise as he was about with his friends in the telegraph office throughout the afternoon and seemingly had not care in the world. He roomed at 1903 Fifth avenue, but after leaving his work about 4:SO o'clock did not go to his rooms but wandered about town with several friends. About 6:30 o'clock he went to the Hotel Hillman and registered as coming from Miami Fla, and was given room No. 106 on the top floor.
 After securing his room Hovelsrud groomed himself and went to dinner, finishing a deliberate repast about g o'clock when he fingered in the lobby of the hotel for few moments and then went to his room. About s:25 o'clock a shot was heard in the street; a moment later another shot, and im- mediately several detectives who were nearby rushed into Third alley search ing for the person who was shooting The officers could find no one and on being told by a negro chauffeur that he had seen a flash of pistol from a hotel window they decided to investi- gate.
 It took several minutes to find out just where Hovelsrud was but Officer Saunders in passing in the corridor of the fifth floor heard low groan and finding the door locked burst it in and found Hovelsrud stretched across a bed with a U. S. .3S-calibre revolver in his right hand. Hovelsrud was un- conscious and apparently in great pain. The top of his head was nearly shot off and the bullet had penetrated the wall into the adjoining room.
 Hovelsrud recently came to Bir- mingham from Atlanta, where he was connected with the Western Union company He had only one arm, hav- ing lost his left arm at Palm Beach several years ago by having 1t bit- ten off by shark. He is survived by sister, Miss Laura Hovelsrud, of Miami Fla.
 Among his friends. Hovelsrud's ac- tion in shooting himself cannot be comprehended as he was a young man of a seemingly happy disposition and nothing is known of any motive that might have depressed him.
