WILL
 HAVE QUIET WEEK By-PrOduct Gas Issue May Cause Some Brief Ora
 tory Tomorrow

Owing to the reunion the city commits sion is very likely to suspend oratorical activities this week-and give the speak CTS of the veterans an opportunity to extol the deeds of daring of the days of old. However, at Tuesdays meeting some very important business is scheduled and, de- spite the reunion, the commission may fuss little, just to keep in practice especially as there will be large au- dience to witness the fun.
 At Tuesdays meeting the vote on the granting of franchise to the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company for the use of by-product gas is sched- uled. Also Commissioner Arlie Barber will introduce an ordinance to regulate the pool rooms in regard to minors and gambling. Both the by-product franchise and the pool room regulation ordinance are almost certain to pass.
 The by-product franchise means that the present rate of 95 cents a thousand cubic feet will be reduced to 70 cents and subsequent reductions of cents will be made whenever the gross receipts of the gas company amount to the present total of S202,000. Commissioners Ward Hor- nady and Truss will vote to grant the franchise on these terms, while it is pos sible that Commissioners Weatherly and Barber will oppose--even to the extent of seeking a referendum on the ques- ton.
 As to the ordinance to regulate pool rooms, 1t is simply measure drawn up by City Attorney Ullman and Commis- sioner Barber which embodies the verbal promises of the pool room proprietors in that lf minors or gambling are allowed Tn pool rooms or clubs, the license is to De revoked and the license fee confiscate

RIGHTEOUS LIVING THEME OF SERMON
 BY DIR. EDMONDS
Large Congregation Present at Lyric Last Night-Mothers' Day Sermon
 a Beautiful Tribute

"The Two Ways was the theme of the sermon of Dr. H. M. Edmonds pas tor of the Independent Presbyterian church at the Lyric last night, the ad- dress being based upon the text found in the last verse of the sixth chapter of Romans A capacity audience was presS ent. The speaker declared that the diff ference between the man who has saliva tion and the man who has not is the toward life in general, not his theories :" or beliefs" There are bad men in the church and good men out of the church" declared Dr. Edmonds. 'The long solemn countenance on the Sabbath doesn't make salvation"
 The speaker made an able plea for men to choose the right direction as sin brings death, real, now and forever. while righteous living brings life, real now and forever, this life with it's deeds being carried on in the hereafter in much the same way. Dr. Edmonds ended his ad- dress with a graphic story of the right choice and direction.
 At the morning service, an immense audience heard masterly sermon on the 'ProdigaPs Father showing the suf- fering of the father for the sins of his erring son.
 The sermon on Mothers Day. was a beautiful illustration of the fra agrance of life that gave itself in the service of others, it's fragrance increasing with the giving of itself.
 There were 10 additions to the church at the morning service.

BIRTH OF A NATION" ATTRACTS CROWDS AT THE JEFFERSON.
Presentation of Motion Pic ture Epic of Civil War and Days of Reconstruction
 Greeted Heartily

Cooled by the scores of electric fans hundreds of the visitors and Confederate veterans attended the performances of ''The Birth of Nation at the Jefferson theatre yesterday And hundreds were thrilled as of yore by this pictorial epic of the purging of the southland in blood and desolation to final happiness and prosperity.
 There was a slight hitch yesterday afternoon owing to the late arrival of the films, but at o'clock the perform ance was under way. Despite the fact that this is the third engagement of ''The Birth of a Nation" at the Jefferson there was an excellent audience on hand many of whom had already witnessed the spectacle one or more times. How ever, none can resist the virility of "The Birth of Nation,'' nor it's tear-inspiring sentiment; and to those who have already seen this wondrous photoplay another view is a keener appreciation of it's his torical value, of it's cinematographic artis- try, of the histrionic capabilities of the performers, and most of all of it's psychic effect on the audiences who are thrilled at the grandeur of the battle scenes in one moment; shocked to a repulsive hor- TOT in another scene by negro excesses, brought to tears by touches of the grim reaper in the midst of war, that wiring and strain at the cords of the heart, and are finally brought to their feet with wild yells by the spectacular "Ku I<lux Klan' in their wild rides through out the south country. Yesterday "The Birth of Nation" brought back all these thril1S-and some new ones
 The present presentation of The Birth of Nation" is in every way adequate. The films are in the best of condition and show the great Griffith spectacle to it's veriest detail and the orchestra is just as numerically strong and musically perfect as when "The Birth of a Nation first visited Birmingham.
 'The Birth of a Nation will be at the Jefferson for the rest of the week, matinee and night

WASHINGTON AFTER
 THE NEXT REUNION

Washington, May 14-(Specal. )-Wash- ington is anxious that the 1917 reunion of the United Confederate Veterans be held in the Capital City Col. Hillary A. Her. bert of Alabama, as spokesman of the local delegation, is en route to Birming- ham at present with the official invita- tion The invitat ton is addressed to Gen. Bennett s. Young, commander of the veterans, and is signed by the district commissioners. Colonel Herbert is also bearing similar invitations from the board of trade, the chamber of commerce the retail merchants association and other civic and patriotic bodies.
 The expression of Washington seems to be sincere that the gray veterans who often in the '6Os were within stone s throw of the capital, and in that period source of perpetual anxiety, unfurl their tattered banners where they tried to plant them in the other days.
