portunity to thank the good people OF
Birmingham who have always responded
generously to their appeal for their pre-
vious kindness and hope for a continuance

SOMETHING TO BE
DONE ABOUT AUDITORIUM

The real reason for delay in the au-
sion reached by those interested in the
undertaking that a proper auditorium for
this city cannot be built, ana a lot pur =
chased for its site, for that amount of
money. 1t being definitely decided that
there are legal barriers to the use of a
public park as a site for the auditorium.
It has. therefore, become necessary that
site must be secured elsewhere and
the proposition is now being held up
pending the receipt of more money or
the devising of some scheme by which a
lot can be obtained without the use of
the auditorium bond issue funds.
Therefore. 1t is stated, that pending
the settlement of one or the other of
these two questions, there has been no
attempt made to secure a decision frcm
the supreme court as it would avail
nothing at the present time. When the
time comes, it is generally believed, there
is little doubt but what tne suprem
court vii hold the bond issue valid.
There are said to be several feasible
ent time by which the 100000 may be
utilized and at the same time no sacri-
flee made to the size or kind of an au-
ditorium the city should have.
The city commissioners themselves say
the next move is up to the Chamber of
Commerce, and there is little doubt but
what one Will come from that direction
in the near future

DETECTIVES GUARD
PADEREWSKI DURING
BIRMINGHAM TRIP
Black Hand Letters Said to
Have Caused Constant
Employment of Guards
About His Person

Is Ignace Paderewski, the Polish pian-
ist, in danger?
This is the question that is causing
beads of perspiration on the brow of his
manager, Mr.. Shaw 1t became known
yesterday that Maestro Paderewski is be-
ing guarded continually while in Bir-
mingham. The fear of zealots and
''Black Handlers is still with the Pade-
rewski party owing to the publication of
a story sometime ago that Ignace Pade-
rewsld was making his present American
tour for the purpose of raising funds to
aid In the persecution of the Jews in
Russia.
Paderewski arrived In Birmingham in
Immediately upon his arrival his man.
ager. Mr.. Shaw, made application to
the George II. Bodeler National Detec-
tive agency in the Brown-Marx building
for some able and efficient guards while
the Paderewslxi party remained in Bir-
mingham. The private detectives were
at once furnished, and every movement
of the great Maestro was carefully
watched, and no one allowed to approach
the famous pianist unless known to the
detectives or the manager.
The Paderewslxi private car is still at
the Eighteenth street crossing of the
Louisville and Nashville tracks. 1t is
due to be coupled to the midnight express
for Louisville tonight. In the meanwhile
armed guards patrol all approaches to the
private car.
1t will be remembered that while in
Los Angeles several weeks ago Paderew-
ski was accused of making his present
tour to raise funds Tor the oppression
of the Jews in Russia and Poland. This
accusation the great pianist vehemently
denied. but owing to the great publicity
brought on by the discussion Paderewski
evidently feels he is now forced to hire
armed guards to protect his person. Nu-
merous BLACK Hand" letters and other
epistles of cranks being received daily
forces the management of Paderewski to
take unusual precautions

county the right OF members of tho ex-
ecutive committee to name the officers

that as president of the chamber re
will make every effort to complete the
auditorium movement begun by him
self and his committeeman.

for an auditorium Is now held up peno :
