TONNAGE DECREASE
 CAUSE OF NO WORRY
Local Sentiment Is Optimistic and It Is Believed Situation Will
 Improve Further

The decrease of 27S.10s tons of thrilled tonnage of the Steel corporation over April, as announced yesterday. did not create any furry or excitement here. It has been known in local circles for some time that the operations of the corpora tion at 60 per cent for the past several months would eventually indicate that the industrial situation was not quite up to what was generally believed.
 However, there is a feeling that this tonnage deficit applied to the entire oper- ations of the Steel corporation does not faithfully mirror the situation as it af- fects Birmingham. The operations here. it is said, are getting better every month, and it is believed that before long the local district will be in unusually fine shape.
 It Is generally admitted that the iron market is good and that the recent sales have been unusually promising. The iron sales here have during the past few weeks picked up very materially and the chances are that further improve ments will be noted
 In connection with the industrial oper- ations here 1t is pointed out that the off, cials of the Steel corporation must feel somewhat relieved over the situation, else there would not have been the an- nouncement of the fertilizer plant in Bir- mingham, which was made Tuesday morn- ing. That plant it is generally under stood has been held up for some time awaiting more promising season.

 MT. Coapman came here to inspect the work as it has progressed on the Finley shop and yards at North Birmingham and to confer with the coal operators of the Birmingham district relative to equip ment and other details in connection with their work.
 He told the coal operators to begin with that there was no shortage of cars so far as the Southern railway was con cerned, and that whatever requirements were made could be supplied without any trouble by that line. The officials and, the coal operators went over some mat ters of rates and other details before they parted. It is stated that the proposed increase of rates applicable to Brming- ham coal was touched upon, but that no final decision was reached in that connec- tion.
 am very much pleased with the sit uation here,' said MT. Coapman ',The finlay shop and yard work is progressing fine There is at this time large num- Der Of workmen engaged on that work and they are shaping the situation up well. The contract for the round house and other buildings there will be let with in short time. The grading has all been done and the work of constructing the buildings will be handled within short time.
 The situation in Birmingham appears to be very encouraging. We have little cause to complain. The coal operators have good orders and we have no short age of cars reports to the contrary not withstanding l conferred with the oper- ators today and indicated to them what 1ur line would be able to do in this con- nection."
 Mir. Coapman. Mir Sevier. MT. Herman MT. Curran and other officials of the line visited the entire mineral belt yesterday from Birmingham to Woodward, after a rather busy day amnog business men in the city. They were unit tl saying that Birmingham appeared in unusually good shape.

|DR. CUNNINGHAM,
 HEALTH OFFICIAL, PRAISES ALMSHOUSE
Writes Letter to Board Sug- gesting That Interne Be Employed At the
 Institution

pr. R. M. Cunningham, city health of ficer, has written to the board of reve- nue, commenting very highly the general conditions of the county almshouse. The members of the board gre much gratied. as the letter came unsolicited, and, in view of the fact that several grand juries saw fit to criticize the condition of the almshouse, they feel that the letter of Dr. Cunningham will set at rest any lingering doubts that may exist as to the conditions of the county institution. The letter is as follows.
 June 10, 1914. ''Dr. R. F. Lovelady. President Board of
 Revenue, City.
 Dear Sir: Accompanied by Dr. Ham, rick, I made visit tnis morning to the county almsohuse for the purpose of look ing after a ditch in front of the aims house.
 While on that visit I went through the almshouse, and I want to congratulate you and the board on the splendid condi- tions of this institution. The grounds are beautiful, the yard well kept and the wards and room clean and in splendid sanitary condition. I was particularly impressed with the management of the dairy products. which I think guarantees pure milk and butter. This institution Is an honor to the county and reflects great credit on the board of revenue.
 While I have no official connection with the almshouse, desire with apol- ogy to make this suggestion: Nearly all of the inmates of this institution have some chronic disease, heart, Brights, etc. and there are greas many old ulcers of these cases will take more time than the county physician can possibly give, and such records, in my judgment, ought to be made. I, therefore. respectfully suggest that you supply an interne, which I presume can be done at very reasonable salary. He would add great ly to the efficiency of the medical ad- ministration by placing on record the details of each case. A microscope should be provided. I make this suggestion n my own responsibility and initiative It did not come from Dr. Hamrick, but he heartily concurs In this recommendation It is a splendid institution and well man aged, and 1t seems to me to make this addition would make this place as nearly ideal as possible.
 Hoping you will excuse me for the presumption. if 1t is presumption. of making this suggestion. I remain, with much respect, yours very truly.

HOTEL VISITORS ARE ASSIGNED ROOMS IN
 THE NEW TUTW|LER
President Rockwell Is De- lighted to Find Every thing Ready for the
 Opening Monday

Fred A. Rockwell. president of the United States Hotels company, lessees of s1,5o0,000 Tutwiler hotel, which is to be opened Monday, reached the city yester- day afternoon as did Robert Jemison, Jr., who has been in New York for 10 days.
 MT. Rockwell and Fred A Wells, the contractor for the Tutwiler, were guests of the hotel last night and slept in that hostelry. MT. Rockwell and Mir. Wells occupied rooms on the fifth floor.
 MT. Rockwell, when he reached town, talked with D. M Johnson, secretary and treasurer of the company, and George W. Traylor, local manager of the Tut wiler, about the work that has been done looking to the opening of the Tutwiler Monday next. He said afterwards that everything was in good shape and that the opening would take place on schedule time.
 MT. Rockwell followed the precedent es- tablished by Secretary Johnson in inspect ing the entire place from cellar and sub cellar to the servants quarters on the roof. With everything he was well pleased.
 'The Tutwiler will be our latest hotel and it will be opened Monday, said MT. Rockwell. Everything will be in good shape. The hotel is in practical condi- tion at this time. The rooms have been furnished, the carpets are down, we are baking bread in the bakery and we are, cooking in the kitchen. The full crew for the kitchen is here. The full organiza- tion for the front has been assembled and there has been no detail overlooked which might contribute to the success of the opening of the Tutwiler Monday We are very much pleased with the outlook here. This is the latest hotel we have taken over and I may say the most ele- gant for the size. It is perfect dream and the people of Birmingham will be proud of 1t when they pass through and make their home with us after Monday
 Tn every respect Birmingham should be proud of this hotel. It is a hostelry which will reflect credit upon this whole section and one that we are grati1ed to be associated with.''
 President George G. Crawford went through the hotel yesterday with Secre- tary Johnson.
 "Mr. Johnson" he said, ''we are awful hotel. It is an acquisition to this city and insures us first-class hotel In equipment and operation"
 You are no more gratified than we are," said MT. Johnson fin reply to Mir. Crawford. You have erected hotel here that is a credit to this section. We have furnished it as best we know how and as good as money could buy, so we are proud that we have your property to operate.
 Fred A. Wells. the contractor, said that he would be through Sunday night and that the hotel would be turned over to the operating company Monday morning. MT Wells said in addition:
 I have been suffering from the hot weather more than I can say. I was tremendously relieved when retired to my room on the fifth floor of the Tut wiler. It is the coolest place in this section that have struck and is as hand somely furnished as any hotel have ever visited"
