While a great many people in Birming- ham are acquainted with the aim and object of the Horticultural society of this city, there are many who ought to be interested in the work of this splendid organization who are not.
 This no doubt comes from the fact that they have not investigated the plans nor do they know just what excellent things may accrue from a civic stand point, by becoming a member of the society which co-operates heartily with the "City Beautiful' movement and all the "City Beautiful clubs,' and it ought to be an inspiration to every lover of beautiful flowers and plants to do his level best toward beautifying his home as well as the city.
 MT William H. Kessler, the popular landscape architect, who is president of the Birmingham Horticultural society is too well and favorably known to need an introduction to the public, but it may be said en passant, that Mr. Kessler is we'll equipped and splendidly fitted to occupy the position with which he has been honored
 Mr. Kessler understands his profession
 
 are both great assets in the success which has been his since he has been a resident of Birmingham
 In talking with MT Kessler a few days ago about the Horticultural society and it's plans, among other things, he said : ''rhe society as you probably know was organized only last November. Florists, nurserymen, seedmen and all those in | terested in furtherng the movement of beautifying the city and endeavoring to keep the movement alive, were called upon to join. In this way by interesting | those who are in the trade, it was thought they in turn would be of great help and benefit to amateurs, by suggesting vari- ous ways of improving their home grounds, sidewalks and general surround ings."
 The object of the society also," MT kessler continued, is to interest the public in the general plan of the best development of the whole city in the modern city plan idea"
 So far what has been accomplished? ?' I asked.
 "One of the things that has been ac- complished.' replied MT. Kessler 'is the offering of very substantial prizes for the greatest improvement in home grounds school grounds and church grounds. Also the best porch and window boxes in pri- vate homes and business buildings Many have responded to the call by putting in window boxes. The Ridgeley the Tut Wiler hotel. the Newspaper club and the offices of the city commissioners, all fel into line enthusiastically and it is easy to see how such, an adornment of pub. lis buildings adds to their beauty as these places mentioned are really show n Aanp Nf tl,A f.,t be many others to follow. The idea wa. launched too late this season for every body to respond as we hoped. But tha 1t has taken hold permanently is evi denced by the reports the florists give

SUMMIT LABORERS
QUIT STRIKE PLAN
Leaders Call 1t off Because
Work Is Scarce and Many
Protested.
Especial to the Evening start

. SUMMIT, May 1.-The threatened
strike of local laborers which was
scheduled for today was called off by
the leaders of the laborers' union last
night. This action was due to the
general antipathy to a strike at this
time shown during the week by the
laborers.
The men openly declared that be-
cause of the present scarcity of work
here in the building trades they would
gain nothing by striking. A number
of those who have work declared they
would refuse to quit, if a strike were
called
1t was agreed at last nights con-
ference of the leaders and members
of the union that the members of the
masons' union have not treated the
laborers fair in refusing to enter Into
an agreement whereby the masons
would be bound to uphold the laborers
In their demand on the bosses for q
uniform wage scale for masons' Ia
borers, and the separation of eXcava-
ton work from concrete or other labor
performed by the masons' helpers.
Efforts are to be continued to induce
the masons to make such an agree
ment with the members of the labor
ers' union, although the former de-
clare they are prohibited from MAX
ing such a pact because of the fact
that the laborers here are not affil-
lated with the American Federation
of Labor.

VERA CRUZ LIKES
AMERICANS
Continued from First Page.)

that many factions are striving for
power In various sections of the re-
public. The entire State of MoreloS
is absolutely controlled by the follow
ers of Zapata, while the State of
Guerrero Is under the jurisdiction of
the Figueroa brothers; Furthermore,
northern Mexico, much of the ives .ern
coast and isolated points elsewhere,
such as Tampico, are controlled or
hemmed in by the supporters of Car
rama and Villa. In the capital Pro-
visional President Huerta is in the
saddle, but strong factions favoring
Carranza, Felix Diaz, or some other
aspirant to the presidency, are T.
triguing against Huerta and each
other. Zapata and the Figueroa
brothers have been running things In
the country they control without re-
gard to any claims OF central power.
Such States are virtually independent
principalities within the borders OF
the distracted republic. This state
ment of general conditions is made by
Mexicans to support the idea that
complete American occupation is the
only thing that will bring lasting
peace.
There is also an element. Of Mex
leans and American refugees now In
Vera Cruz who express DOUBT that
the mediation undertaken by Argen-
tina, Brazil and Chile or similar ne
gotiations will bring about stable
coalition of the warning factions IN
the republic or result in the re-estop-
lishment of order. They are of The
opinion that personal 1ea'ousles
would prevent the selection of aEy
leader to represent them all, and they
unhesitatingly declare that, In their
OPINION, ambition and not patriotism
actuates a great majority of the Mex
lean factionists.
Some Favor Nicaragua Plan.
It is apparent that local opinion Of
the future is most conflicting. An
other idea presented today by
thoughtful Mexicans is that the only
solution of the problem lies in par
tial proclamation of Mexico by the
United States and the establishment
under American protection of a gov
eminent similar to the one formed III
Nicaragua, which later would be
succeeded by duly elected Mexican
officials, the United States superVis-
ing the elections and vouching fof
their fairness. The idea Is receiving
considerable endorsement from
group of Mexican officials who nave
remained in the city.
Point to Benevolent Rule.
The American authorit eS, CIVIL
naval and army, are making every
effort to disseminate throughout the
republic truthful pictures of the be-
neyolent rule already established In
Vera Cruz. There is reason to believe
also that Washington is quietly
working to this same end through
m 'litary and civil agents sent here
to talk things over with representa-
tive Mexicans. These agents have
been selected for their knowledge OF
the Spanish language and their ia
miliarity with Mexico and the Mexi-
