MANY WANT ID GO ON TRIP ID BAYv|EW Indications Are That Large Crowd Will Go On
 Barbecue

Following the announcement of the barbecue and outing to be given by the Chamber of Commerce to it's members on Tuesday, May 2s, there was con- stant stream of inquiries at the of- fees of the Chamber of Commerce A great deal of interest Is being mani- Tested in the outing and indications point to record breaking crowd.
 The plan of the barbecue permits all members of the chamber to attend and officials are anxious that all who make application for membership between now and the date set for the outing make the trip. Within the past two months more than 150 members have been added to the Chamber of Com merce and the Board of Trade. and it is the desire of the officials of both bodies that the new and the old members be- come acquainted with each other.
 The barbecue is to be given at Bay view, a recently constructed dam of the Tennessee company's. The acquaint- ance committee of the chamber will be on hand in full force and will make a point of discovering members who are not generally known, and having all the old members shake hands with the new. They will not introduce a new member to an old member and then leave the matter in the hands of the elder. It is the intention of the committee to do all the introducing.
 Bayview was selected as the place for holding the barbecue, partly because of its accessibility and partly because of it's great beauty It is said to be one of the most beautiful spots in the Birmingham district and is easily reached by train. The Chamber of Com merce party will leave Birmingham in the morning at II o'clock. and return ing, leave Bayyiew at 4 o'clock in the afternoon These hours were set in or der to permit business men to clear away the mornings work and return to their offices in the afternoon in time to sign the afternoon mail

CHANCE ID DEFEAT
 HOOPER NEXT TIME
Tennessee Visitors Here Yesterday Discuss Situa-
 tion in Their State

For the first time in several years there is chance to defeat Governor Hooper of Tennessee.
 This statement was vouched for by prominent citizens of Jackson who. representing the city council of that place, were in Birmingham yesterday inspecting street paving. Among the visitors was M. H. Taylor, a member of the legislature of Tennessee. The others were J. L. Williams. engineer of the city of Jackson: J. C. Felselthal. S. P. Anderson and pr. J. M. Glenn.
 "There will be six democratic can didates before the state convention. May 26,'' said Representative Taylor. "The six candidates will be Thomas c. Rye of Paris. district attorney general; Chancellor A. H. Roberts of Living ston. George L. Berry of Nashville. Circuit Judge S. J. Everitt of Jackson and George L. Hardwick of Cleveland Mass meetings will be held in the ma jority of the counties of the state to- morrow and Inducements given.
 Tt Is generally believed that Mir Rye has the best chance to win the nomination. We believe that for the first time in many years democrat has a chance to defeat the republican nominee. Governor Hooper has already been nominated for another term, and with the backing of tfe republicans the progressives' and the independent or prohibition democrats, he will be difficult to defeat"
 The visitors expressed delight with Birmingham and admitted that this city Is one of the most beautiful in the south Mir Taylor. the member of the legislature. declared that he was not in the party of absconding legislators who visited Birmingham some years ago.
 There was. however" he said, "a Mir Taylor who came to Birmingham. and, strange to relate, his tnitials were identical with mine"

DEPUTY METCALFE
 GOES TO ARKANSAS
Negro Thought to Be Slayer of J. T. Camp Under Arrest at
 Pine Bluff

Chief Deputy Walter l.. Metcalfe left Birmingham at f0:10 o'clock last night over the Alabama Great Southern rail- road for Pine Bluff, Ark. MT. Metcalfe was armed with reauistion papers for Willard Carpenter a negro, alleged to be the murderer of John T. Camp, the transfer man. who is under arrest in Arkansas.
 J. T. Camp, president of the Camp Transfer company, was shot and killed in his office on First avenue about [ o'clock on Saturday night several months ago. Several eyewitnesses of the killing stated that Miflard Carpenter, a negro employe, was having an argument over some wages with MT. Camp when he suddenly drew a pistol and shot Mir. Camp through the head. killing him all most instantly. Carpenter then eluded capture and has been at large ever since.
 In the past several months there have been many reported captures of Willard Carpenter, and all have proved fruitless However, in this latest report Chief Dep- uty Metcalfe places great confidence as k. E. Currie, formerly an employe of the J. T. Camp company, telegraphed Sheriff McAdory that he had seen the suspect and that he was positive that it was Willard Carpenter. It is expected that MT. Metcalfe will return to Bir- mingham with his prisoner next Tuesday morning.
 The city commissioners of Birmingham have a standing reward of $150 for tho capture of Willard Carpenter. dead or alive.

[OWHANG|NG LIMBS WILL BE TRIMMED The Street Department Has Been Ordered to Do
 the Work

Announcement was made yesterday by the city commissioners that the low limbs of trees along the sidewalks and over hanging the streets would be trimmed off in the near future. The street de- partment has been assigned to the work
 There have been several serious com plaints from citizens received at the com mission offices within the past few days regarding these low limbs. It is stated that they are especially bothersome when wet after rain, the water on the leaves being of sufficient weight to sag them still lower wheN they strike in the face pedestrians on the sidewalks and passen- gers in vehicles in the streets.
 It Is probable that the commissioners will order the street department to cut ofR the limbs overhanging the streets and order the prQserty holders to trim the branches over the sidewalks and see that the order is obeyed. Eleventh avenue. south, is one oY the streets being par ticularly complained of. but it is stated that there are trees in all sections of the city which need such attention.

OFFICIALS PLAN CAMPAIGN
 AGAINST PISTOL TOTER

One of the strongest pistol toting ordi- nances in existence is being considered by the city commissioners and may come up for adoption within the next week or two. The commissioners have been en- couraged in this movement by an ordi- nance adopted just a few days ago by the city council of Chicago along the same lines.
 The Chicago ordinance makes it neces- sary for any man desiring to purchase a pistol or revolver to get a permit from the chief of police, which will cost $1, and the chief of police must have two recommendations from two reputable cit izens to the effect that the man asking for the permit is law-abiding and re- spectable citizen worthy of being trusted The merchant who handles the weapon must then pay special gun license of

POWER CONTRACT
 REPORTED SIGNED
Understood That Minority Stockholders Have Been
 Satisfied With Terms

Following the return to the city of A H. Ford. president of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, the sale of certain stocks by minority holders. and through press announcements in New York 1t was reported here yester- day that at last a power contract had been agreed upon between the Alabama Power company and the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company for electric current to be used by the latter and sold by the former It is stated that the small holders of stock have agreed that under the new agreement there will not be any great shrinkage in bond and stock values, and 1t is further agreed, ac- cording to local information, that the contract will be permitted to go through.
 There has been much talk lately about litigation over the contract. T. H. Friel of North Birmingham, who is not fond of the two companies involved and the city of Birmingham are two interests that have not been consulted, and 1t Is proba- ble that there will be asked many ques- tions by the city and by Mir Friel before the contract is permitted to go unchal- lenged
 Naturally, A. H. Ford. president of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company. will not make any statement. His connection with the contract is that of an official who is discharging the duties imposed upon him by direction of the higher officials. It is stated that Lee C. Bradley. counsel for the company and it's vice president. was not in New York nor was he consulted about the final wind-up of the contract. Mfr. Ford has been busily engaged in getting his company straightened out after the de- structive fire recently.
 J. K Newman of New Orleans who is the holder of some $5.O000o0 worth of bonds of the company. has been raising the greatest objections It Is stated that after consultation in New York he has been satisfied Efforts were made yes- terday to locate him in New York and New orleans. Advices were that he was somewhere between the two cities. He Is expected to make a statement when he reaches New Orleans.
 It has been stated several Times upon excellent authority that the mooted con tract between the two companies had been signed One thing or the other has always come up to delay the plans It is believed. however. that practically every detail is concluded end that the final contract is being drafted and will be signed here during the next few days.

$25 and in no cases display the weapons in public as an advertisement.
 The ordinance being considered for Bir- mingham is practically the same thing. with possibly few variations It is be- lieved that 1t would result in the elimi- nation of thousands of pistols in the hands of irresponsible negroes. Copies of the Chicago ordinance will be studied before the local ordinance is completed
 In Chicago a strong campaign Is being made against pistol toters. Efforts are being made not only to keep irresponsi- ble persons from securing pistols, but those who already have them are to be rounded up and relieved of the weapon. The council has ordered the police de- partment, it is said, to dismiss and dis arm all semi-crooks who aid the police in catching other crooks and several spe- cial squars of officers have been detailed to disarm every person in Chicago who can be caught carrying pistol illegally
