BIDS ON S5O0,OO0
 BUILDING ASKED
Peacock Believed to Be Con- templating Move in Re
 gard to ROden

John Peacock of Cincinnati, who has a wide reputation as a builder, has asked Tor bids for materials on a $5O0OOO build ing in Birmingham It was learned yes terday that in this city rumors were ahoat that Mr. Peacock was nere con- sulting with the Roden Hotel interests and was negotiating for a revival of the plans of that hotel on an entirely new basis
 MT. Peacock, it is stated. was here a few days ago and secured the plans of the Roden and returned with them to his home in Cincinnati. Subsequently, 1t is stated he asked for bids on a S5oO00o structure for Birmingham giving no names. The impression gained con- siderable ground that he was striking at the Roden when he asked for those plds. An advertisement for bids of brick. cement and such materials was placed here. Well known contractors and arch ltects were surprised at that action. as u IS said such methods of securing bids were unusual.
 MT. Peacock, it is stated, has inter- ested the men trying to refinance the houen hotel and that consultations are oelng held frequently about what shall be done in respect to that building. The oHlc1als in the meantime are sanguine that there will be some very important developments soon

that they will make their sacred
