buy RODEN HOTEL
FOR COUNTY JA|L?.
Reported That Attention of
Board Will Be Called to
Proposition

A suggestion that the county could buy
the Roden hotel as it now stands at
the auction sale next month was made
yesterday by several local lawyers. 1t
was thought possible to convert the frame
into courthouse and Jail for Birming-
ham and thereby relieve the business dis
trict proper of the county Jail, now on
Twenty-frst street.
1t was suggested that the Roden frame
would be quite sufficient for all jail pur-
poses and for all offices in connection
with the criminal court. 1t was some
time ago suggested that the frame might
be bought for an office building and then
it was stated that the frame designed for
hotel was not quite heavy enough for
an office building. However. it is be-
lieved by some local architects that the
jail and criminal court could be handled
with the steel now placed on the build
ing with little altering of the plans
The idea has been much talked lately
and while no official step has been taken
it was reported Yesterday that the at
tention of the board of revenue would
be called to it. The steel as it now stands
is to be sold at public auction to settle

CAPT. MANLY MAY
Be NAMED AGENT
Hope Expressed Yesterday
That Jefferson Bank Will
Soon Be Able to Resume

1t is understood that Capt. r. r.
Manly will be appointed agent for the
Jefferson County Savings bank. which
suspended Friday morning. He is to be
appointed by the state banking au-
thorities. The agent of bank sus-
pended has the duty of collecting all
of the money due from loans and such
items and subsequently reporting to
the state banking authorities 1t is I'M
derstood that Captain Manly is favored
by the state banking authorities as
well as by others interested in the
liquidation of the jefferson County.
In addition to this there was a very
interesting and encouraging report
yesterday that the Jefferson County
bank officials hope to reopen for busi-
ness within two or three weeks. 1t was
stated yesterday around financial
circles that there was good reason to
believe that the details of straight
ening out the affairs of the bank will
require about two weeks and the of
ficials would be able to resume oper-
ations in the banking rooms now
closed. This Is believed to be the am
bition and hope of the directors and
officers of the bank.
The officials of the bank have given
out no statement but it was intimated
yesterday that there would be prepared
a statement to be issued during the
next few days. The feeling in financial
and business circles yesterday was ex-
ceIlent AS a matter of fact, every
banker in town seemed optimistic yes
terday over the general situation.

IMPROVEMENT IS
STILL BEING SHOWN
IN BUSINESS LINES
Birmingham Trust Review
SAYS 1t Is Reasonable to
Expect Normal Bust
ness Soon

The Birmingham Trust and Savings
companys February letter on trade
conditions and presenting general
forecast, is in part as follows:
In our last report on the general con-
dition of trade we said business is
convalescing" Tt is a pleasure To go
over definite figures on basic business
conditions today and find that business
is still improving. This does not mean
that business is as strong as 1t should
be in every part but that strength
will come with exercise and activity
and, as activities are increasing oaily
In numerous lines, 1t is reasonable to
expect that business will soon be normal
Bank cearngs for the month of De-
cember were nearly s13,O00oO0,0o0, COM
pared with nearly $4,000, 100000 a year
ago, while clearings for the country ex-
cepting New York city were $4,000 900
for the month compared with nearly
s., 000.0O 600 a year ago. The decrease for
the whole country was IA per cent and
for the country outside of New York
nearly per cent.
In our December foreign trade state
ment. we find food for much serious
reflection. our trade with other coun-
tries in December was large enough to
nearly make up for the falling off &C.
casioned by the European war and the
attendant Interruption of commerce.
Those people who believed that trade
with the neutral and even the. bellig-
erent nations would amount to little
until the arrival of peace must re-
yamp their conclusions in the face of
the happenings of December. During
that month our exports reached the re-
markable total of $246000,000, a figure
never before reached in the commercial
history of the country except during the
three closing months of 1912. In the
exports of any one month, some individ-
ual commodity usually stands out as the
big item so there is nothing unusual In
the fact that the big export item for
ton were both big factors in the high
record export months at the close of
1872 If exports were abnormally large,
1t is but natural that some commod-
ity of prime necessity should represent
q strong portion of the total of such
exports.
Exports are not confined to wheat,
nor are they confined to breadstuffs;

SIDNEY LAZARUS BACK
Wanted to Cheer When He Heard
Train for Home Called

Sidney Lazarus returned yesterday
from Philadelphia, where he has been
for three weeks following an operation.
He is fully recovered and was busily
engaged at his desk yesterday. Mr..
Lazarus said that he never heard any
thing sound quite SO attractive as when
the gateman in the Philadelphia station
called, The Birmingham Special, all
aboard for Alabama" He said that the
flashing of the signal spelling the name
Birmingham" was enough to make him
almost let out cheer.
II never before realized how much an
advertisement for Birmingham the
Birmingham Special is until l started
home," said Mr.. Lazarus THE Southern
railway has this name called out at
New York, Philadelphia, Washington
and all stations south, and 1 am fully
convinced that it is of great value to
this city. l know one thing, it made
me feel mighty good when l heard the
man call that name out and 1 climbed
aboard"

They were a 'Romantische Serenade,
op. Is, by Jan Brandts- Buys. and a quar-
tet in D Major, by Gustave Samazeuilh.
Between these two ultra-modern prod
ucts there was sandwiched the ingenious
quartet, OPP. Is, No. q of Beethoven.
Brandts- Buys, a Fleming, member of
musical family, shows a melodic vein
which. IL not markedly original, is at
least not vulgar nor commonplace and
has certain harmonic influences traceable
to the French school. His Serenade is
in six movements. of which the most
valuable is the first, a nocturne. The
coloring is very poetical and the mood
is of the night. A model turn to one
of the themes a fondness for large
number of ninth chords, reminds US Of
friend Debussy, but that is by the way
The movement is good of it's kind and
1t represents about all that is valuable
In the work. For the other movements
there is not only monotony of mood and
of coloring, but even of scoring The
title Serenade saves the composer from
the reproach of not writing in a gen.
timely polyphonic manner. His partic-
ular fondness seems to be for a viola
solo, accompaniment pizzcati for Cello
and accompanying figures in the violns
This quartet is perhaps an early work
The performance was CAREFUL prepared
and sympathetic.
The quartet of lSamazeuilh is the work
or an ultra-modern Frenchman, a pupil
successfully, of Chausson and d'Indy; a
good craftsman, an experienced COM
poser. Whether the quartet has more
vital musical qualities is another mat
ter Perhaps, all in all. the greatest
pleasure of the evening was the humble
Beethoven quartet, played with admir-
able clarity and euphony, in a true en-
semble spirit. The audience was warmly
appreciative of the performances and the
initiative OF the quartet in introducing
new compositions"
