Lovers in secluded places ceased

Superstitious persons viewed the

eclipses are still regarded as i'll
omens by the unenlightened.
Students OF the sky. professional
and amateur astronomers. were
abroad with their telescopes, and
many paid q nickel to obtain a bet

eclipse started at 9:41 r. m. and

JOINT MEETING AT
 CITY HALL TODAY
Commission and Civic Cham Der to Discuss What's the
 Matter With Birmingham"

What is the matter with Birmingham%
 This is the question that faces the directors of the Chamber of Commerce and the city commissioners, who meet in q joint conference at the city hall this afternoon at o'clock. The meeting marks radical departure from all commission precedence. George B. Ward, president of the commission, will preside.
 The joint conference comes after sev- eral weeks negotiations and the exchang- ing of diplomatic notes by President Ward and Morris Bush head of the civic cham Der. It will meet primarily to discuss matters pertaining to the welfare of the city, but it is expected that, owing to the fact that the plans to convert the Roden hotel steel frame into an audi torium and city hall are nearly ready, this important subject will have pre- cedence over all others.
 Another feature of the joint conference is that Arlie Barber the socialist mem- Der of the city commission, will make a speech. MT. Barber, it is understood will confine his remarks in the main to a vigorous expose of the Standard Oil the Steel Corporation, the sugar trust, the water power monopoly, the Tfdewater tiasco, the pool rooms and the octopus of predatory wealth.
 After MT. Barber has terminated his address it is thought that the conferees will know just-what is the matter with Birmingham.
