NEWSBOY'S BIG VOICE IS
 CAUSE OF HIS TROUBLE

Everybody in Birmingham has heard the newsboy with a fog horn voice.
 Until yesterday that boy who, by the way, came to Birmingham from far away Russia, considered his voice an asset. At any rate he could cry his wares greater distance than any other young ster in the city. possibly in the south.
 Well, that voice might not be an asset after all. At any rate. 1t was the cause of his appearance yesterday before George B. Ward. president of the city commits sion.
 The official impressed the lad of the strong lungs with the fact that he had no intention of interfering with his busi- ness, but insisted that he modulate his tone.
 The youngster replied that the only way Tn which he had to make a living was through the sale of newspapers, and that to sell newspapers it was necessary for him to cry aloud the chief subjects treat ed in the newspapers.
 Whereupon it was necessary for MT. Ward again to tell him that he had no intention of handicapping him in his eff rorts to make a living. And then he add ed as judiciously as possible that the boy must not elevate his voice to such

 q was under the impression that I had seen the most interesting points of Birmingham until yesterday" said Sen ator Faulkner T am convinced that there exist great many points of in terest that cannot be covered in one day. For that reason my trip today was of renewed interest. I think more of Birmingham every hour and I shall re- main a very staunch friend of this city. Birmingham is a marvellous place and is growing every year in the estimation of persons of information and world experienced.

 OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Inspection of Dining Room and Kitchen Can Be Made Friday
 and Saturday

The work of preparation for the opening of the new Motion hotel cafe, which is to be operated by P. ]. York. an experienced restauranteur of Pitts burg and other eastern cities, has been about completed and the new cafe, both dining room and kitchen, will be thrown open to the public Friday and Satur- day afternoons for inspection.
 Actual operation of the cafe. how ever, meaning the serving of meals, will not be begun until Tuesday of next week, the informal opening for the afternoons of the two last days of this week simply being planned to dem- onstrate to the public the modern equip ment of the kitchen and the attractive arrangement of the dining room proper.
 The Motion cafe will be located on the Fifth avenue front of the new Molton leading hotels of the city under the management of Harry B. New ,and in many ways will be conducted in a dis tinctive manner
 Mrs. George Wheeler, who is well known here to many hundreds of peo- pie, will have charge of the active management of the Motion cafe, and those who know her best consider this announcement speaks volumes for the success which will be attained by the new establishment.

 The boy thought a moment. and then demanded:
 Well, just how loud can holer2'
 I don't know exactly, replied the president of the commission. Give me a sample of your modulated tone.
 And the boy threw back his head opened his mouth and save expression to his cry in trade. The windows rattled MT. Ward pushed his fingers in his ears. The fire department prepared to turn out. An impetuous policeman turned in the riot call. There was great consterna- tion throughout the city hall.
 Now that illustrated what I'm driving at" explained MT. Ward Tt Is not that you holler, but that you holler too loud. Now, listen. When you are in one block you cannot sell papers in the next block. Therefore, it is unnecessary for you to arouse the curiosity of the people in the next block. Now the city has no objec- tion to your hollering loud enough for everybody in one block to hear you. But don't holler again so loud that everybody in town can hear you at the same time'
 The little Russian finally departed. se- riously shaking his head. It is probable that he had realized for the first time that the voice with which he was blessed might be to his disadvantage after all. that voice which he had used so long and so well. and to the distraction of a great number of people

MAY START FIGHT
 ON W|ENERWURST
Old Law Resurrected Which May Put New Stands All
 Out of Business

The marvellous growth of wenerwurst stands in Birmingham, and especially on Twentieth street, the main thoroughfare of the city, may prove to be, after all, a mushroom growth. The city is was demonstrated yesterday, has the right to put every proprietor out of business.
 Ordinance 159. adopted June 3. 1908, by the board of aldermen, follows:
 Section 1. That from and after .Janu- ary 1. 190S it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to prepare to serve, sell or dispose of or keep or. ex- pose for sale. any lunch, sandwich or meal or drink of any kind from any lunch stand or counter or shelf opening on or out on the sidewalk ,or any place abutting thereon.
 ''Sec. ?. That any person violating any provisions of this ordinance shall, upon conviction, be punished as provided in Section SOC of the city code.'
 This old ordinance was resurrected yes- terday. The commissioners have not de- ternined what course to pursue as yet. However, it is certain that the provisions of another ordinance, that nothing shall be sold on the streets unless protected by screen from flies and dust will be inforced.
 And the stands may be put out of busi- ness, for the commission, as stated. has not as yet made up it's mind fully in re- gard to the policy it will adopt in this regard.

ROTARIANS MINGLE
 FUN AND BUSINESS
Joe Rosenberger Comes Near Causing Riot by Losing Big Industry
 for Birmingham

Humorous stunts were sandwiched in between serious and enlightening business talks at the "Solon Jacobs lnnch' in the ballroom of the Tutwiler at l o'clock yesterday afternoon by members of the Rotary club.
 Solon Jacobs. guarded by four of the largest and most impressive looking policemen in the city of Birmingham. presided over the luncheon with the seriousness of an English magistrate. All members that questioned In the slightest his rulings were promptly elected.
 On the serious side of the luncheon, George McCleary, manager of the hress stores in Birmingham. talked on the growth of the Kress business throughout the United States. MT. Me- Cleary stated that the new Birming. ham branch of the Kress company was the best appointed of all the Kress stores in America.
 Joe Rosenberger followed Mir. Me- Cleary's talk by announcing that new Industrial plant had been induced to locate in Birmingham Mr. Rosenberger stated that the new plant brought a
 
 Rotarians at once were all attention. MT Rosenberger. after some prelim- fparies concerning the healthy financ- ing of the new company stated that 1t was a stock organization and that $10,o00 more was needed to complete the stock sale. Mir. Rosenberger then called upon the loyalty of Rotarians to Birmingham to at once subscribe this amount and thereby assure this city of another important industry.
 Much discussion followed. Some Ro- tarians took the attitude that the weekly luncheon was no place to bring a tusiress proposition to a head. Oth- CTS maintained that it was against the ethics of the Rotary club for a mem Der to exploit stock selling scheme while Potarians were unsuspectingly eating their weekly luncheon.
 After time few Rotarians talked in favor of MT. Rosenberger's scheme and stated that while it wasn't exactly the proper thing to mention business at q lunch con it would never do to all low such a large industrial plant as he had described to go to some other city beca, Sc Birmingham had refused to subscribe $10,000 of its stock. This brought on more discussion until Crawford Johnson got the floor and dramatically demanded:
 we are getting nowhere with ali this talk. What I want to know is what is this new patent this company will manufacture; tell us about it, Joe---'
 Why. it's left-hand monk ey wrench" announced MT Roseuberger
 The Rotarions promised to meet again on ladies' night, December 2, in the ballroom of the Tutwiler, when a complimentary dinner to the wives of RotarIans will be given.
