FINAL SESSION OF CONVENTION HELD ; BY WAREHOUSEMEN
Methods of Packing, Fire proof Warehouses and Closer CO-OperatiOn
 Among Subjects

With the reelection of E. M. Bond of Nashville as president and the selection of Houston, Tex, as the next place of meeting, the second annual convention of the Southern Warehousemen's association was brought to a close yesterday after noon after profitable and enjoyable session.
 The meeting was held at the Tutwiler and was attended by delegates from practically every southern city. Among the subjects discussed was the proper method of packing household goods for storage or shipment. This brought about a lengthy discussion and committee was named by the president to prepare plans for a uniform method of packing. The committee consists of Fred A. Bryan, Chattanooga; J. M. Walker, Memphis; T, F. Cathcart, Atlanta; E. M. Bond, Nash vile, and George c. Harris, Birmingham. This committee will meet in Nashville January 15, 1916, and make report
 Another matter discussed was closer CO., operation between the warehousemen, so as to look after shipments from one city to the another, relieving the owner of the responsibility of getting them retrans- ferred.
 Fireproof warehouses were taken up at length by the association. C. Ii. Moores of the firm of Moore's & Danford, ware house architects, was in attendance and explained the approved plans and con- struction of .fireproof warehouses The delegates arrived in the city Friday aft ernoon and were shown around the city by George C. Harris of the Harris Trans fer and Warehouse company. who acted as host.
 Among the social features of the con vention was an automobile ride through the residential section of the city, a visit to the Lyric theatre, dinner at the News paper club and Tutwiler hotel. They were unanimous in their praises of the city and the splendid hospitality of their host
 In speaking of the convention, MT. Har- ris said: The purpose of our association is to improve the facilities for the ham, ding. shipping and storage of household furniture By adopting a uniform sys- tenn of packing we believe the possibility of damage will be reduced to minimum.
 By cooperating we can give the pub lie more efficient service. For instance, should we ship a load of furniture to Memphis we would notify the member of our association at Memphis. who would attend to and complete tbe shipment to it's destination.
 By adopting freproof warehouses we. of course, are better able to care for stored goods than heretofore. All our efforts are toward better service and bet ter methods of handling our business, which is to our patrons advantage. as well as our own.
 The officers elected were 10. M. Bond. Nashville, president; F. A. Bryan. Chat tanooga, vice president; T. w. Cathcart, Atlanta. secretary and treasurer.

Who said civic auditorium !?

Who said civic auditorium!
 Somebody said 1t several years ago, as records go to show, but who Is say ing anything about civic auditorium at the present time?
 In order to have enlightenment on the question the records are scanned closely.
 It appears that for several years there has been some agitation about the needs of civic auditorium In which large conventions could be held. Finally about two years ago during the incumbency of w. P. G. Harding as president of the Chamber of Com merce the matter came to head and the city of Birmingham decided to hold an election on a bond issue of $200,000 to erect an auditorium.
 At that time Paschal c. Shook was chairman of the auditorium committee of the Chamber of Commerce and talk ing an active hand in the campaign the s200,0Oo bond issue carried by a to 1 majority.
 Then there came complications.
 City Attorney Romaine Boyd re- ferred the matter of the legality of the bond issue to Judge Dillon. noted New York bond expert, who rendered an opinion that. owing to the fact that the laws of Alabama did not de- fine an auditorium as public build ing, complications might arise in mar keting the bonds. This, of course. knocked out all hope of selling the bonds or of obtaining a civic audi torium for the time being.
 Then the Alabama legislature con vened and some active member of the Jefferson county delegation managed the statutes to the effect that "an auditorium was a public building" And furthermore, another energetic mem Der of the same Jefferson county dele gation managed to have passed with out compromising his opportunities for future happiness a bill giving the city of Birmingham the right to issue bonds for a civic auditorium, provided of course, the people ratified the action in legal election.
 And there the matter stands.
 But som mething Is going to be done in the immediate future about the civic auditorium.
 The women's clubs of Birmingham are scheduled to start agitating the question, and the auditorium is likely to become a lively topic immediately following the municipal elections.
 As for the Chamber of Commerce, 1t Is understood that this organization has remained quiescent on the auditor ium question at the request of mem bers of the city commission who feared

SPECIAL EFFORT IS
 MADE ID RECOVER !. MILITARY PROPERTY
Captain Price Holders Will Not be Prosecuted if the Equipmc~t Is Turned
 in at Gee

An active campaign for the recovery or all military property and clothing is to be started at once by the local officers of the Alabama National Guard.
 Accoruing to the statement of Capt. J. T. Evans, Second infantry regiment. there is a large shortage of government prop erty which is charged to the state which will have to pay for the shortage unless the property is recovered.
 Captain Evans states the unlawful pos session of government property subjects the person having 1t to a. fine of not less than S5 nor more than $250 or by impris- onment in the county Jail for 60 days, ono or both such time and Imprisonment. This is in accordance with Section GA of an act to regulate the military forces of Alabama, and Is In conformity to the federal act for the protection of gov ernment property.
 Captain Evans is not desirous of using these measures if the property belonging to the government Is returned for he states that no charges will be preferred if the person or persons having this prop erty ir their possession, provided they will turn it over to him at once.
 He states that he has been informed that there are persons in the city who would turn military property in. but are afraid they will be prosecuted If they do so. He desires to assure such parties through the columns of The Age-Herald that such is not the case; but, on the other hand, if they will. turn the prop erty in he will receive and say nothing except Thank you,"
 In the event the property Is not turned iE within the next few days. orders will be issued for the arrest of every person having military equipment or clothing in their possession, and such person will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
 In this connection 1t will be recalled that the federal appropriation for the National Guard of Alabama was held up by the war department on account of this shortage of property and 1t will not be renstated until the property is recov- cred or the shortage made good by the state

AUDITORIUM WILL BE DEMANDED BY PEOPLE

Promises to Become Live Topic of Interest Rumor Has It That Ladies Are About to Take
 Hold of Project, So Look Out
By RICHARD F. LUssIER

a defeat for 8 bond issue at this time with the city In the turmoil of elect ing some new commissioners. How ever, by the first of the year the Chamber of Commerce will again plunge into the auditorium fight-and carry it to finish.
 There are many reasons at the pres- ent time why the auditorium should be built within the next coming year. Bir- minghanf-is now being widely adver- tised as convention city and larger and larger conventions are selecting the Magic City as a meeting place. Still further, the Federation of Mu- sic Study Clubs of America iss sched- uled to meet in Birmingham in April. 1917, and for this convention the Chamber of Commerce has promised an auditorium that will have seating capacity of at least 1000 persons. Un- less a civic auditorium is built by that time Birmingham is likely to lose this large convention.
 However, a bond issue for a civic auditorium, if one Is ordered, will of necessity, be considerably larger than s200,000 at this time. It will be re- membered that two years ago when the first bond issue was ordered it was then intended to build the civic audi 
 now again has legal opinion reversed the plans. for the law is that city land purchased for park purposes cannot be used for anything else This will, of course, necessitate much more than s200, 900 in bonds, but how much more has not been decided as yet
 "We are ready to start a fight for another bond issue to build civic au- ditorium at any time' said Secretary William c. Radcliffe of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
 "The fight must start soon," con- tinued Mir Radcliffe, "as we are get ting conventions in Birmingham that demand the use of an auditorium with a capacity to seat comfortably several thousand persons. Civic pride demands that such structure be built in the immediate future, as such a building g was promised to the Federation of Mu- sic Clubs of America, who will hold their convention fin Birmingham in April of 1917 If Birmingham has no auditorium under construction within the next few months the Chamber of Commerce will of necessity have to cancel this large convention or make some arrangements for a building In which the Federation of Music Clubs of America will have ample space to conduct its convention. as was prom ised to them by our convention com mittee."
 Who is going to start the ball roll ing for another bond issue?
 That little old community spirit would come in mighty handy at the present time
