Brief Sketch of Morris

President Elect

The committee on nominations for Of
ficers of the Chamber of Commerce is
being congratulated upon the selection of
Norris w. Bush as the candidate for

partment of Vanderbilt university and

superintendent of the Woodward Iron
company, ana was III dctlVo cHarSe OK
the plants of that company for seven

SALE OF SEALS HAS
BEEN SUCCESSFUL
Statement Issued BY DIR.
Eaves Expressing His
Appreciation

Tho sale Of Red Cross Christmas seals
this year by the Anti-Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION has been very successful, ac-
cording to a statement made at the Of
flee of the association yesterday Fol-
lowing is a statement of the work done,
prepared by DR.. George caves, secre-
tary:
The Anti-Tuberculosis association and
the headquarters staff express their ap-
probation of the work done under Mrs.
Rivers Carter's committee between the
18th and sd.
"There are still some payments to be
made Additional sums were turned in
yesterday by Mrs. McDavid, and there are
more to come When the Christmas rush
is over it is to be hoped that liberal sub
scriptions will come in to complete the
$40, 900 required to finance the association
during 1916 Many have responded dur
ing the last two or three days to the letter
issued at the beginning OF the month But
very large number have yet to be heard
from. 1t will save much money and val
liable time If all recipients of that COM
munication will kindly remit or return the
seals.
1.-THE association would express Its most
cordial appreciation Of the generous re-
Spouse made during the present sale
and for the many letters of kindly greet
ing which have poured into the office.
Upon careful survey and recounting it is
found that 1888 was the exact number
of letters issued 1t was unfortunate
that in some instances such letters were
duplicated through the same person hav-
ing more than one telephone number.
But generally this has been cordially un-
derstood and the receiver has felt no en-
barrassment in returning the seals or re-
mitting according to his ability or de-
sire.
THE association respectfully expresses
the hope Of a happy Christmas to all
who have in this way aided in the fight
to stop the widespread suffering which
it is it's business to confront and over

EXPLOSION TAKEN
LIGHTLY BY POLICE
Do Not Believe Bomb"
Was Meant to Harm
BuZZacanO

The police and detective departments
regard the explosion which occurred at
Joe Buzzacano's store at Sixth avenue
and Twenty-sixth street yesterday morn
ing at Els O'clock as the work or some
one who intended to frighten Buzzacano
instead of blowing his place up. The de-
tonation was heavy and blew out num-
Der of windows in the vicinity. Little
damage was done otherwise.
Chief Eagan. as wei las Chief Shirley OF
the detective department, regard the lex
plosion" lightly They pointed out that
large firecracker might have been the
cause Of the explosion, and they do not
think any order or blackhanders haG
anything to do with it. A note was given
to the detective department by Buzza-
cano At first much weight was attached
to the Importance of the missiye. which
was written in a jargon that could not
be translated. The numerals 500 were
written in the note. and some of the de-
tectives were of the opinion that this i'm
piled that a demand for money had been
made of Buzzacano. No one was able
to translate the note. and its contents
are still unsolved. Neither the note nor
the explosion Is regarded as being the
work of enemies OF Buzzacano. Detec-
tives were detailed on the case and they
will continue their investigation.

CHRISTMAS DAWNS
ON PROSPEROUS CITY
Streets damned Through
out the Day-Few Ar
+ rests Are Made

Birmingham last night caught the
holiday spirit and, undampened by the
showers which fell about 9 o'clock,
celebrated in true Birmingham style.
From early yesterday morning until
d1:30 o'clock last night the streets
were crowded, the stores were damned
and the theatres packed to the doors.
NO matter where one went it was i'm
possible to escape the crowd. And it
was a crowd of buyers, too The enor-
NOUS sales of yesterday in the Biz
mingham stores attested this fact,
while it was shown by the huge bum
dies which nearly every pedestrian
lugged with broad smiles.
1T was a good -natured crowd and
even the policemen so far forgot them
selves as to look leniently upon any
thing less than a felony. They were
acting on instructions from Chief
Eagan, who had told them to make ar
rests when there was no other way of
settling the difficulty. Consequently,
the arrests yesterday were less than
they have been on any Christmas Eve
in Is years. There was little disorder
and no crime of consequence.
Christmas dawns on Birmingham this
morning peaceful, orderly and prosper
