ANNIVERSARY OF
 CONCORD|A SOCIETY
Twenty-Ninth Birthday of German-American Organ
 izatiOn Celebrated

A most successful affair was the cele- bration of the twenty ninth anniver- sary of the Concordia society the oldest German American organization in the state, which was held last night at their hall on Tenth street and Avenue H. Attending the festivities were rep resentative citizens from Culman. Montgomery. Mobile and other parts of the state and large crowd of leu tons from the Birmingham district
 fine programme was rendered which included patriotic addresses assem- bly, singing, national> airs instrumental, selections and other features. A fine luncheon was served which included delicacies that are dear to the heart ana appetite of the German people and their friends. The exercises closed with a dance which was indulged in unttl a late hour.
 The affair was a big success and many Americans were present who en |joyed the generous hospitality of their hosts. The Concordia society is com posed of many of the leading citizens of Birmingham who are of German de. scent and who are active in the civic affairs and the upbuilding of their adopted home

appealed from time to time. Be fair. Is it for the interest of the people that so much discussion should come forth When the Alabama Power company ex- tended their wires to the city of Birming- ham the people all shouted "hurrah'' for the appearance of competition. Did we get it? Before we could think it over the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company had their current cornered.
 Will they tell the public in one of their articles just how much cheaper they are buying this current than it cost them to make 1t? They may say "this is our business" Well, 1t Is, but how much less are the light bills of the patrons now than when they made their own current? They will say that the current rate was re- duced Maybe so, but gentle reader, look over your bill, and tell me if your reduc- ton is in proportion to the difference in cost of the power they now use, and the power they made? Is this fair?
 l have no grudge against these people only censure them for hollowing calf rope" to the commissioners, and the pub lc instead of meeting competition. fair, or unfair, just as any other business firm meets it, when another fellow begins to get his business by his own schemes. If all business firms would seek protection from other sources than competition ev- erytime they are bested they would not have the respect of the public. Would they?
 So say. gentle reader. what has become of that cheap current and competition we were to have? It has been ''gobbed up by these people just as they are trying to monopolize the streets, and patronage of Birmingham.
 Why should certain streets be desg- mated for jltney transportation. if they are to be heavily taxed? Why should they not have the use of any street the same as any other cab, taxi. or street car? Is it fair to say we pay exhorbitant taxes, and do not get square deal" when the corporation has existed here for years. without being moested? Did they treat the Tidewater peopleelike they want to be treated. Be fair. The Birmingham Railway Light and Power company may have paved the streets between and near their tracks. but who paved the other two-thirds of the tracks? The people, majority of whom patronize the jitney.
 If the capacity of a jitney Is to be lim- ited by law, why not limit the capacity of the street cars? If the jitney is not fair, let the commissioners call an election, and see if they can be voted out, or if stringent regulation, such as is being sought, Will De
 ndorsed at the polls.
 The people who elect are going to see just what the commission will do toward ma king the jitney a fixture for their ben eft and convenience. The jitney, many of them, make no more trips per day than some of the privately owned cars. So why bond them, tax them to death and throw such hardships around them IS to smother out a convenience which the citizens so much appreciate, and patronze? Yours for fair play, w. J. HARMoN.

COPPER MAGNATES GAN SMILE AT THE ADVANCING PRICES How Connecticut Became Center of Copper Manu- featuring in the U. s. GREAT CAPACITY
 FOR INVESTMENT Vanderbilts' Hundred Millions of Bonds Mark New York Centrars
 Greatest Single Finan-
 cial Transaction
By HOLLAND

New York, May S.--(Special )-Leopold Frederick, financial adviser of the Gug- genheims and familiar with the copper properties in Chile which the Guggen- helms are developing upon very large scale, thought that he would not be far out of the way in asserting, some months ago, shortly before the European war began. that this Chile copper could be smelted and made marketable at a price considerably less than was de- manded for the lowest price of Amer dcan copper. If MT. Frederick were cor rect in tk,s view then he and those as- sociated with him must look upon re- cent quotations for copper with content tand probably with the hope that the )demand. which comes from other parts of the world to the United States for copper will long be continued.
 It may be that in view of the extraordi- narily high price quoted for copper in vestors will be persuaded to develop many of the smaller mines of the United States At the time when there was an attempt Ito corner copper a demonstration was made that the metal existed in such abun- dance in the United States as to make il ampracucaDle permanently 10 corner the market. Investors and prospectors were Hooking with curious, inquiring eyes upon copper properties which years ago were worked in Connecticut, in New Jersey and in other parts of the country. A long maintained high price for copper and the presumption that these prices would be continued until after the reconstruction period in Europe had passed would un- doubtedly lead to the development oi copper mining industry in places where heretofore it has not been profitable to work the mines.
 The high quota tions recently reported as having been obtained for the stocks of various corporations whose product is brass, and whose manufacturing plants are in the valley of the Housatonic and the Naugatuck bring to mind the sur mise which prevails all over the coun- try that this chief center of the brass manufacturing industry of the United States owes it's origin and development to the fact that at one time a copper mine in northern Connecticut was per haps the chief source of supply in this country for the metal. This surmise
