IUTW|LER BONDS
 ARE SELLING WELL Half of Remaining Bonds Disposed of by Commit
 tees Yesterday

Twenty men of this community yesterday effected the safe of 50 per cent of the remaining Tutwiler bonds, at the Tutwiler. Today at 1 o'clock the remainder of the bonds will be reported sold, it is believed.
 By forming themselves into commit tees the citizens were enabled to prop erly approach men of this community and explain to them the situation, the result being that the bonds have been placed with amazing rapidity It was stated yesterday at the luncheon by J. w. Donnelly, general chairman of the committed, that at the luncheon today the whole issue would be cleared up.
 The committee worked the city yes- terday for about two hours with the result that $2S,000 was placed. They were unable to see a great many men on the lists and some were out of the city.
 George c. Crawford, president of the -Tutwiler company, said at the luncheon yesterday that the public spirit shown by the committeeman was of far great CT value to this community than the mere sale of the bonds, and that Bir- mingham would gain much thereby.
 "I am exceedingly grateful to you gentlemen" he said, addressing the luncheon party. Ut has proven that we of Birmingham are together and that is very valuable I cannot find words to express my gratitude over your un- selfish work in the cause. | assure you we all appreciate it. This bond is not a gift but is a sound investment and I am sure the sale of the entire issue in this city. with three exceptions, will be the source of much pride to our citi- zens"

 SCHOOL COMMITTEE
 AT KAUL'S OFFICE
Resolution Adopted PrOvid- ing for Executive Session. Chairman to Make All
 Announcements

The committee appointed by P. c. Shook to ascertain by careful study and investigation the feasibility of estab- fishing a technical school here met yesterday in the offices of John l.. Kaul the chairman. Nothing was done except the adoption of resolution to the effect that the meetings are to be executive and that no statement will be made except by the chairman and upon the authority of the committed.
 T hope this action will not be mis- understood.' said MT. Raul after the meeting We decided upon this step work will be necessary and if any member of the committee feels at lib- erty to discuss the problems we hope to solve as they arise there may be some wires crossed and the results will not be what we hope for. There is no disposition to withhold anything from the public. We will study and make our report and then the citizens can take such action as they deem proper"
 Everyone of the members of the com mittee Is very eager to see the school hcIc inty diS business men and they intend to give the problem the closest study. It is en- tirely probable that the members of the committee will make trips to vari- ous schools for the purpose of finding out what Is being done in other cities in connection with schools of this kind It is known that the members of the committee have already started fines oi investigation
 The resolution adopted yesterday fol- lows:
 '1n view of the importance and mag nitude of the task assigned to this com mittee and in view of the further fact that much labor covering several months will be required for investi- gation and research in order that the committee may reach intelligent con clusions,
 Be 1t resolved: 1. That subcommit- tees be assigned by the chairman to investigate special phases of the gen era1 subject of technological education and the conditions relating to the es- tablishment and maintenance of a technologic~l institution or a school of applied arts in Birmingham, such sub committees to report to the full com mittee.
 "2 That pending this investigation by the committee of, seven the delib- erations of the committee shall be con sidered executive. except as specially ordered by the committee.'

It is the plant taxation was increased 3s 1-S per cent, and the water rate was in- creased SS 1-s per cent.

 There were about 20 witnesses sum- moned but outside of testifying to the depth and location of the shoals they threw but little light on the drowning The Wood boys stoutly deny being re- sponsible in any manner for the death of the girl. and contend they risked their own lives in attempting her rescue.
 The drowning of the young girl was mentioned in the press as one of the Fourth of July fatalities and was re- ported as an accident. Later the Wood boys were arrested and charged with murder in connection with the drowning. The body of the girl was exhumed and examined by the coroner and two phys icians and the result of the physicians findings will be submitted to the coro- ner's jury this morning.

Memoli found yesterday that he could secure the services of at least five high class artists, who had not been connected with the band this summer, and lost nc time in doing so
 Last year when the open air music fund was much larger than it is this summer Memoli had 2S men in the band and once or twice as many as %. This was a larger number than had been heard in any previous years in free open air music. Memoli will have, therefore. more players at Fairfield than were ever heard in any summer concert here.

 The theatre will be closed for four or five weeks and will open again when the regular Keith season is in- augurated all over the country It was one of the few big time houses that kept open at all during the summer and the inability to get many of the large feature acts and to build the remain ing acts around the headliners to get the best results finally resulted in clos ing the theatre for few weeks.
 What are known as the routed" acts tho largest and best headliners of vaudeville, will be seen here as soon as the season opens. Manager Semon is already receiving contracts in large numbers for acts as far along in the season as Christmas and New Year
