cause the company which YVES TO have

This was learned when the commit

which he claimed had showing dates
in Rockford. H., and Battle Creek
Mich, and had been a success last
year. but they directed him TO the

scented as the largest exhibitor and a
letter TO them brought out the fact
that they had not heard a word about
the project and were not concerned
in it. The agent of the company in
Kansas City, however. claims to have
been approached by this man. who
agreed to secure exposition dates if
the company paid him for it They
however refused.
1t is believed that the man was a
promoter who first secured the dates

STATE BILLIARD
 TITLE AT STAKE Morgan Will Defend Title In 1000-POint Match Start
 ing Tonight

The championship of Alabama Is the principal prize to be gained in a 1Qo0- point billiard tournament to be begun tonight. The present holder of the title. William Morgan, will meet Champ Ty- Ter.
 The game will be played in four SC . ries of 250 points each. The first clash occurs tonight in the Subway poolroom Tomorrow night the second frame will be played in the Greenwood Cave Wednesday night the third set will be played at the Subway The final event will be staged in the billiard rooms of the Birmingham Newspaper club.
 The lovers of billiards will follow the tournament from the beginning to the finish. The odds seem to favor Morgan to win. This is perhaps due 10 the fact that Morgan is present holder of the title and because he won in a tournament some months ago against Tyler. However, Tyler has many friends who believe that he will spring sur- prise. He Is in fine shape at the pres- ent time and it is considered prob able that he will play the champion hard match with good chance of copping the prize.
 The final frame. to be the most ir- teresting, of course, will be open to the members of the Birmingham News paper club. The game was never more popular with club members than at the present time and 1t is safe pre- diction that when the finish" flight is begun practically all club members who play billiards will be grouped about the scene of the match.
 Both players are confident of win- niue

ID CONSIDER JAIL PLANS WEDNESDAY Wheel0ck Will Submit Sey- eral to the Board of
 Revenue

On Wednesday the board of revenue will consider several plans prepared by Harry Wheelock for the proposed new jail building to be built to replace the present structure. It is understood that the architect has prepared several plans for the consideration of the board, and will include modern skyscraper with a jail on top. The board of revenue ie desirous to complete their plans before the conference of the board with Dr. Oates. which is scheduled for August 25, and 1t is understood will endeavor to agree on a plan by that time.
 Four members of the board are in favor of building a new jail on the present site, the other member preferring the building of jail in some other locality, and it is probable that the present site will be retained and a new jail built thereon.
 Dr. Oates for several years insisted that the board of revenue build a new tail. declaring the present one entirely unfit for the holding of prisoners. The matter has been deferred from time to time for various causes. pr. Oates, however, took definite steps to carry out his oft re- peated threat to remove the prisoners to some other jail if a new one was not built and removed . score or more of the negro women prisoners to other places.
 Every member of the board has ex- pressed himself as being in favor of building neW jail, which will be done ss soon as they agree on tho plann.

THE LAST CHANCE ID OPPOSE TAX RAISES
Board of Revenue This Week Will Enter As Final
 Judgments By Default

The last opportunity for the nrapert, owners whose assessment was raised by Captain J. V. Allen to show cause why the raise should not be made is offered by the board of revenue this week. fo, beginning this morning it will commence entering mp judgments against those per- sons who have not answered the cita- tions or made settlement with Captain Allen.
 It is understood that nearly 50 per cent of the property owners cited to appear before the board of revenue in reference to the raises of their property assessment had ignored the summons and according to one of the members of the board this can only be construed as meaning the raise is satisfactory and proper The board of revenue. however. has deferred entering up the judgments by default, but as the law requires them to place the tax raise dockets in the hands of the probate judge by certain date. they will proceed this morning to take up the default judgements.
 It is not known whether the board will accept the figures as submitted by Cap tain Allen or whether 1t will come to a mutual agreement as to how much the property shall be raised. but whatever course is pursued the board will conclude the docket by Saturday and turn 1t over to the probate judge on that date.
 There are several specially set cases to come before the board this week, among them that of the Bessemeh Land company. which 10 contesting . proposed raise of approximately >too.ooo.
