DR, DICKINSON ASKS ID SEE BOTH LAWS Thinks Readers Would Be Interested in Comparing
 Sunday Measures
To the Editor of The Age Herald.

To the Editor or The ASe-Ierdlu. May I call your attention to very serious oversight in your editorial or today on Sunday concerts and movies II you will consult the law as it is now on the statute book of the city, and com pare with >t the proposed new law, you will see that 1t is the proposed law that puts the concerts and movies on the same footing and the law as it is now in force lis exceedingly discriminative in it's re- strictions on concerts and exceedingly proflgate in the special privileges bestowed the movies. Hence. when the facts are correctly con- sidered, your able editorial is a power full argument for the proposed law rather than for the present discriminative one. It might be well to clear the atmosphere by publishing the two laws, the one on the statute books and the one proposed in the Weatherly ordinance side by side; make choice between them. Will you be so kind as to do this for your readers? A. J. DICKINSON. Birmingham, February s, 1916. Here is the present law, under whose provisions the Sunday movies operate and Sunday concerts are given;
 Provided, however, that the giving of high grade, strictly musical concert or entertainment on Sunday, and the charg- ing for admission thereto, shall be lawful if such concert or entertainment in no wise partakes of a vaudeville perform ance, and in nowise furnishes entertain
 >o,t < strictly musical.
 Provided. further, it shall not be un- lawful to operate high grade moving pie ture shows on Sunday.
 That part of the proposed ordinance affecting movies and concerts is as fol- lows:
 That any person who conducts a thea tre. moving picture, vaudeville or variety show on Sunday, or any exhibition show, entertainment or performance for pecuni- ary profit or reward, or to which an admission fee is chaged or collected, shall, upon conviction. be punished within the limits and as provided by section S06 of the code of the city of Birming- ham: provided that high class musical concerts and moving picture shows, which are not conducted for pecuniary profit or reward, and for which no admission fee is charged or collected may be permitted by the city commission of said city but before the exhibition thereof, written permit shall be granted by or under the authority of the city commission. certi- flying to the fact that upon investigation of the character of the exhibition or en- tertainment proposed to be given. the same has been found not to be vioative of any of the laws or ordinances of the city"
 Should this ordinance be adopted not only would there be no photoplay houses open on Sunday, but there could be no public concerts on Sunday. The Sunday entertainments with which music lovers are familiar are those that were first under the auspices of Mrs. Frazier. There could be no more of them if the so-called Weatherly ordinance became law, because there is an admission charge.

J. Rivers Carter, former city engineer for Birmingham and former postmaster here, is of the opinion that a low grade railroad or electric line should be built from the Warrior river without delay, rather than a roadway MT Carter says the roadway is bound to come, but the important thing now to do is to get a railroad to the Warrior which can handle the tonnage of the district.
 MT. Carter believes~that this road should touch the river at a point somewhere below the junction of the two forks, where there is plenty of room for the river steamers to turn, and good locar ton for the proper docking and wharfage facilities. s,s -..ss -s T,

WARD WANTS FIGHT MADE IN THE OPEN
Thinks Anti-Sunday Movie AdvOcatesShould Demand
 a Referendum or Recall

Commissioner George B. Ward stated i yesterday that the new Sunday observ-
 ance ordinance drafted by Commissioner Weatherly and Judge Weakley is a di- rect slap at public opinion. He also stated that it was clearly aimed at Sunday nov | ing pictures though it did not definitely say so.
 "The Pastors union is making a mis- take" said President Ward yesterday afternoon. fin opening up the whole sub ] ject of Sunday observance in it's ordi- nance. The present Sunday law has stood l the test of 20 years and it should be con- tnued.
 "I believe they are wrong to open this Pandora's box and let fly all these | troubles at once It may be recalled that
 the contents of Pandora's box. such as dscontent unrest agitation. smallpox. i typhoid general depression, etc.. are still dolng business and making trouble after l a lapse of several thousand years or more.
 They should have been kept chained l up If the pastors object to motion picture shows on Sunday, it seems to me they ought to make the fight on the movies. | instead of uprooting the whole ques- 1 ton.
 1 "Our Sunday laws are the growth and development and evolution of 20 years of
 thought and experience of the people of i Birmingham.
 | Changes have been made from time to | time to meet changing conditions. The movie ordinance is just the latest change l in it. The rest of the law has been work 1 ing well. and apparently to suit all the | people. Therefore, l think it is serious mistake to open up the whole subject. Let them invoke the recall or the refer- endum, whatever they want to settle the movie issue, but let the rest of our Sunday observance take the course of what the practical experience of 20 years has shown to be wise"

should think, would be the best thing, although I don't believe it could be owned by the county or city. The ownership of the road is immateral to the people. What they want is the means of reaching the river with their tonnage, and they want it quickly.
 "Of course, roadways should be con- structed also to the river. Road con- struction always is very sensible, but the best thing to be done right now is to build railroad so that the tonnage of the district can be handled
 ''I don't know whether or not the road could be made a paying proposition from the moment it begins operations It might be somewhat of a drag for a year or more but I know that in compar- atively short time it would pay hand somely. It would be profitable not only to those who build it. but it would mean added prosperity to this district

Market Is Active
and Prices Higher

New York, Oct. 26.-Thc New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Irregular price movements with de.
clines reported in many issues marked
the course of trading in the greater
part of today's session in the stock ex-
change. There were strong spots also,
particularly among the low priced rails
and the eoppers, the latter moving up
under the lead of Utah Copper, which
advanced into new high ground on an
active volume of business in it. To Il
great extent the losses in various
groups were based upon realizing sales
and the absence of aggressive new buy
ing, rather than on active operations
by professional traders for lower pric.
es, while the demand came in great
part from Wall Street interests, both
pools and individuals, who apparently
were not alarmed over talk heard in
speculative quarters of an old fashion
ed election scare in the financial dis.
trict.
There was more talk on politics as a
market factor and to a certain degree
it was effective in restraining public
participation in the dealings.
Last hour trading was in active vol
ume, with prices generally moving to-
ward better range, especial strength
being reported in the sugar shares,
American Can and United States Steel.
