ACTION DEFERRED ON SUFFRAGE MOVIE
Committee Alleges Breach of Contract and All Ne
 gotiatiOns Are Off

Following a failure of the local suf- fragists and the Southern Moving Pic ture company to reach an agreement in regard to the company producing the photop1ay for the suffragists, nego- tiations between them have been sev- cred. The committee of the Equal Suffrage association having the matter in charge met yesterday afternoon and after discussing the situation notified the picture company that all matters relative to the production of the suf- frage picture were terminated, alleg- ing that the company has preached it's contract.
 The local association, through it's committee, wishes to state that 1t will not be responsible from now on for any advertisements solicited or moneys collected in it's name by the agents of the Southern Moving Picture com pany.
 The letter follows:
 Birmingham, January 20, 1916. Southern Motion Picture Company,
 Lyric Building, City:
 "Gentlemen-The Birmingham Equal Suffrage association does hereby give notice that you have preached your contract with it and that it has elect ed to terminate the same and hereby notifies you that it will not go forward with the same. You will therefore please turn over to us at once all let ters, credentials and account to us for all funds collected by you under said contract Yours truly,

 man, who can give hIs time to the work.
 For the past cooperation and good
 will. which I have always received at
 the hands of the commission, l am deep
 ly grateful, and if in the future, I can
 be of advisory or active service, it will
 give me pleasure to respond to the call.
 Very truly,
 "CHARLES WHELAN, M. D. There is possibly no more popular man about the city hall than Doe" Whelan,
 His resignation came as a complete sur
 prise to his many friends as no thought had ever been entertained that the vet eran city physician was contemplating leaving the service of the city It came as a distinct shock to the civic officials
 who could not understand the good na-
 tured assertions of Dr. Whelan that he was leaving because he wanted to go to
 work for himself.
 i've got to live, you know" said Doc
 tor Charlie, with his kell-known smile. and Pm simply going to work for my self in the future. Besides. I think 8 younger man should have the job.
 ''Now, please don't get the idea into your heads that there is anything back of this resignation. I've contemplated leaving the service of the city for over two years but have simply kept my own counsel Of course. it comes as a sur prise, but then what would be the use of resigning if it would not cause a little comment? You know I've been working here for + years and in that time I should have made few friends Then Doctor Charlie waltzed off whistling down the corridor.
 Dr. Charles Whelan is well-known among his own profession as one of the ablest surgeons in Birmingham. In the service of the city he has always been at the beck and call of the humblest ne- gro, and despite inclemency of weather and the hour of the night, Dr. Whelan came to the city jail whenever the s o s call came.
 In his service for the city Dr. Whelan discovered that twilight sleep" would be successful in curing the dope habit and he did an immense amount of good work along this line. But it is along the social uplift and charitable work that pr. Whelan displayed his greatest in- terest. Doctor Charlie, in fact, was every where when 1t came to bringing good cheer in the homes where it was needed He spent 1t is roughly estimated, prac- tically all the salary that he ever col lected from the city of Birmingham as city physician on helping and aiding the poor.
 q might as well help these poor devils, ,
 commented Doctor Charlie at one time.

OFFICIAL DATES SET FOR CONFEDERATE VETERANS REUNION
General Bennett Young Is- sues Official Order Con- firming Dates Selected
 By Local Veterans

The annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans will be held in Birmingham May 16, IF and 1S Official confirmation of those dates, which were selected sometime ago by the Cham Der of Commerce was received yes. terday from Gen. Bennett H. Young, commander in chief of the veterans. General Young yesterday notified Capt. John G. Smith that he had called the reunion for those dates and he stated that the order would go out at once.
 Morris w. Bush, president of the Chamber of Commerce, state last night that the committees which would have charge of the reunion would be ap- pointed within the next two or three days. The confirmation of the dates had delayed the appointment of the com mittees. There will be an executive committee which will have general charge of the reunion and a finance committee which will look after the raising and disbursement of the funds. There will also be large number of subcommittees acting under the direc- tion of the executive committee.
 The officers and members of the Chamber of Commerce as well as the citizens generally of Birmingham are planning to even surpass the splendid record made by this city in entertain ing the veterans several years ago. When Birmingham last year decided to make the fight to secure the 1916 meet ing of the veterans, their efforts met with a ready response from the old soldiers because of the ideal manner in which the big gathering was ham died here before
 President Bush stated last night that no details of the plan for entertaining the gathering had yet been mapped out but he made it plain that every effort would be made to make the oc- casion one long to be remembered by the veterans and the thousands of visi- tors. It is planned to make the reunion one primarily for the veterans and at the same time see that everything is done for the Sons, Daughters and the other affiliated organizations.
