POOL ROOM ISSUE
 IS UP TOMORROW Barber Expected to Meet Defeat in His Efforts for
 AbOlishment

That the resolution to abolish the pool rooms will be indefinitely postponed when it comes to a vote tomorrow morning before the city commissioners, is the opinion of observers who have watched the commission in all it's delib berations on the subject.
 Commissioner Arlie Barber, the social ist member of the board, is responsible for the resolution. In MT. Barber's opinion all pool rooms in Birmingham are hot beds of iniquity and crime. It is there, according to MT. Barber that young boys are corrupted and graduated into gentle men pickpockets and all around rough necks." Fifty percent of all the bad boys, according to MT. Barber, are made so by the evil influences and the evil com panions found within local pool rooms.
 At the commission hearings on the subject thus far, Commissioner Barber is the only member who has attacked the pool rooms. His colleagues, with the exception of Commissioners Ward and Truss, have listened silently whenever the resolution came up Tor discussion. Com missioners Ward and Truss have both insisted that it was a severe indictment against the police department if they could not be regulated.
 Commissioners Weatherly and Hornady have given no positive indication of how they will stand on the subject

FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR VETS REUNION
 TO COMPLETE WORK
Members of the Committee Will Make Calls This Morning to Secure
 Funds for the Reunion

The financial affairs for the Confeder- ate Veterans reunion are in excellent condition, but at the same time the finance committee will make further ef- forts today to gather up the odd ends of that important detail of the reunion. The committee will make many calls this morning and it is believed the members will receive such cordial welcome and that the responses will be so gratifying that an early announcement will be made that the total amount needed is in hand. The Chamber of Commerce members have responded with characteristic liberality during the past few days.
 The finance committee will, it is be- lieved complete it's work today. The members placed such faith in the final outcome of their work that assurances were given Robert A. Brown, general chairman, when he assumed his duties that he would not be bothered with the financial details, but would be relieved of that work by the members having it in hand.

H. Cole Estep Believes It Would Not Pay and Might DemOralize Steel Business
FORESEES VICTORY
 FOR CORPORATION
 IN TENNESSEE CASE
Iron Trade Review Editor Says Steel Corporation Will Do Big Things Here After Decision

The government plans for the con- struction of an armor plate plant are merely half baked" ideas, according to H. Cole Estep of Cleveland, engineering editor of the Iron Trade Review, who was at the Tutwiler last night.
 MT. Estep is here looking over condi- tions in the Birmingham district, and will go tonight to New Orleans to attend the spring convention of the American Society of Mechanical engineers. Today he will spend in Gadsden inspecting the plants of the Gulf States Steel company.
 T know I may be taking an unpop- Ilar side when I say that the government should not build an armor plate plant, but I am merely voicing the opinion of many men who have made a careful study of the situation and who are con- versant with the details of the propo sition," said MT. Estep. Tt might be of interest to the people of the Brming- Tam district who favor such a plant to know that the chamber of commerce of Cleveland, the third largest steel center in America, went on record last fall in opposition to the proposition. This action was taken in spite of the fact that there was a strong probability that Cleveland might be selected as the site for the plant, should such a step be taken by the government

 ON HIS BIRTHDAY
Dr. J. A. Bryan Recipient of a Birthday Gift Presented in a Unique and Beau
 tiful Manner

One of the most touching tributes ever offered % a pastor by his congregation was that rendered Dr. J. A. Bryan, pastor of the Third Presbyterian church, at the close of the services yesterday morning. As the services drew to a close, 53 tiny children marched down the side aisles of the church as the organist played. Each of the children held crisp one dollar bill, to which was attached a verse of scripture.
 The girls were led by little Amelia Bayliss, clad in white and carrying a bunch of white roses. On the boys side, young Theodore Hodge, also in white and carrying a bunch of pink roses, was m the lead. Down the center aisle little J ohm Robert Greer came marching, bear ing upon his arms purple and white floral basket. The children passed by John Robert and dropped their dollars into the basket, following which they sang hymn. The exercises ended with benediction by Dr. Bryan. It was his fifty-third birthday, and the gift came from the congregation which he has been serving almost 27 years.

WARD ADVOCATES BOND ISSUE FOR THE ERECTION
 OF A CITY AUDITORIUM
President of City Commission Suggests That As Bond Issue Election Has Been Called for Schools and Electric Light
 Plant, the Auditorium Should Be Included

That the plans for the transforma- tion of the Roden steel frame into a combined city hall and civic auditorium should be reported as quickly as possible by the special committee of the Cham Der of Commerce, so that the city com mission can begin it's deliberations on the project, was the opinion expressed yesterday by Mayor Commission CT George B. Ward.
 According to MT. Ward, action on the auditorium project is imperative. An people are going to be called to vote on two bond issues, and it is Mr. Wards plan that the voters should also express their views on the subject of a civic auditorium on that date. Com missioner Ward does not advocate the Roden plan, or any particular plan, but he is advocating action on some kind of an auditorium.
 We should get busy" said Commits sioner Ward, and bring all the pos- sib1e plans for an auditorium and then pick out the one we think is best for the city Once we have selected this plan let us name the date on which it will be submitted to the people. And then it is up to the voters. They can reject or accept our work and what ever the verdict of the electorate the subject is disposed of permanently

 MT. and Mrs. Wells have now been in Michigan six weeks, where MT Wells las been taking the baths in an effort to be rid of an attack of sciatica He writes his friends in Birmingham that he is greatly improved and that while he is by no means entirely well, he feels that the remainder is matter of time and patience.
 When MT. Wells was first attacked he underwent treatment for several w waeks at his home here before going to Mich igan, and his malady has been very stub- born and painful.
 Friends will be glad to know that he returns so greatly improved in health.

street and Fifth avenue, north, 1 under stand they are almost ready for presenta- ton to the public These plans are now in the hands of a patriotic citizen and they will be submitted to President Nor ris Bush of the Chamber of Commerce as soon as the head of the civic cham Der returns to Birmingham. And then if these plans are feasible, I am positive they will be immediately reported to the city commission with the minimum loss of time.'
 What are you going to do when the plans are before the city commission? was the question asked of MT. Ward.
 That all depends on the plans sub- mitted." replied Mr. Ward q want to state that I am heartily in sympathy with any plans to get an auditorium, and that I will not stand in the way of hay ing such a structure constructed as soon as possible
 However, we have issued a call for all kinds of plans for an auditorium. Any citizen who has a suggestion can come forward when the public hearings on the commission, I am certain, will act with due discretion as well as quickly.
 My idea of the whole bit;.>ess is to get it over with. The people are evil dently in sympathy with the idea of hav- ing a city auditorium The merchants and business men are convinced that it means a great deal to Birmingham so l say let's have it. Bring on your plans, and we will pick out the best one and place it before the voters at the very earliest opportunity.
 AS we are going to vote on two bond issues on June 5. it appears to me that we should get busy and submit the audi torium idea at the same time. I intend to use my best efforts towards having the auditorium voted on on that date"

Hello, Charles."

Hello Charles."
 Same to you, Hiram,
 This is likely to be the interchange of of California and Gov Charles Hender- son of Alabama when the long distance test of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company will take place in the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel to- night at o'clock.
 Governor Johnson will be at his office in San Francisco and Gov. Charles Hen derson will be in the Tutwiler. They will be the first two persons to talk over the long distance telephone between Bir- mingham and San Francisco, which is a mere trifle of about 3Go0 miles.
 According to Manager George Knox of the local branch of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company, all the prominent officials of the telephone corporation will be in Birmingham to participate in the test, and about 600 of the prominent citizens of the city have been especially invited to attend

 ready to exchange greetings with the presidents of the civic bodies of San Francisco and Mayor r-Commissoner George B. Ward will say: 'Helo," to Mayor Rolph on the coast. Another fea- ture will be the conversation of Mayor Ballinger of Gadsden, who will speak with Brigadier General Sibert at the Presidio in San Francisco General Si- bert is an Alabamian, having been born in Gadsden.
 Other features will be the placing of the telephone receiver on the beach at the Cliff House in San Francisco so that persons in the Tutwiler can hear the roar of the breakers on the Pacific ocean. Other specialties are contem- plated by Manager Knox. Amongst the notables who will be pres ent other than Governor Henderson, his rersCnal staff, the members of the city commission, the heads of local civic bodies will be the following officials of the telephone company: N. C. Kingsbury, vice president of the American Bell Tel ephone and Telegraph company; Col w. T. Gentry, president of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company, and c. G. Dubois, comptroller of the South ern Bel company.
