The plans call for an early undertaking of this work, which has the practically unani- nous approval of all the property own CTS involved
 The Civic association has taken an interest in this thoroughfare from the community standpoint. The committee first took the matter up with the city commission and after Investigation ascertained that, in all proba bility, the city had no juridiction over the mat ter but that the street being part of the north and south highway, (which the county is required by the state laws to maintain, 1t is up to the board of reve- nue to exercise the right of eminent domain and, therefore, take the initia- tive.
 The present pavement is known. per haps, to every resident in Birmingham source of more noise and discom- fort than any other downtown section. Motorists and pedestrians are much in- terested in having smooth pavement in stead of the present rough stone brick surface, and the adjacent property own- CTS are anxious to reduce the excessive noise

Bethea, repre- senting many of the property owners have welcomed the efforts of the com mittee to rush the project of repaving the joint meeting yesterday is to be followed by another meeting at an ear ly date, at which time it is hoped to re- port the concurrence of all the property owners.

PRAISE FOR l. MERCER

The visitors to the Initernationa Kiwanis convention have certainly beer given an opportunity of enjoying real southern hospitality" said Thorwald NJ Beck, member of the law firm ot Storms, Foley & Beck of Racine, Wis. "and never have I seen such open hearted hospitality as I have here in Birmingham. I have heard much of your city, but this is my first visit this far south, and I am very much inn pressed with it.
 MT. Barnett, president of the local club, has certainly made hit witk everyone. and is very clever man. He
 is a real Kiwanian and he deserves much praise for the splendid reception
 rendered delegates and visitors pres ent.
 ''On all sides Kiwanans are praising Birmingham, and it will go down on
 our annals as the city of cities"

Lea of the American army is said to be the originator of the scheme"
 The story created nationwide inter- est in America when given publicity in the newspapers. Everybody watched the story of the consumation of tho plot.
 Colonel Lea, we have read a great ceal about your plot to kidnap the Kaiser. but have never seen any state ment about it from you. Will you kindly give your version of the affair to The Age -Herald?"
 ADMIRING CROWD
 The colonel was in the midst of an admiring crowd of Kiwanis at the Tut wiler when approached. Smilingly, he declared he had nothing to say.
 "But you will say whether the story is true or not, won't you?'
 You can say for me that any state ment about the matter purporting t come from me is without my authority and most of the things I have seen in the papers about it are not true. That Is all care to say"
 Further questions were unavailing but persistence was partially rewarded
 T made up my mind not to talk about the matter. and I am still of that mind" spoke Colonel Lea with an air of finality,
 And as the Colonel was kept busy greeting and shaking hands with Kiwanis, the interviewer thanked him for the interesting and calculating talE and bade him adieu,

I have Undertaken since r have been in public life to point out the many dangers which would follow our surrendering the sovereignty of the in- vidual states to the federal government that l hardly feel now that what am saying on the subject will be of avail. I have the consolation of knowing that whatever may happen I have stood by the sound and safe document of state rights and state sovereignty and propose to continue to do so
 "The next change in our constitution is provision to federalize the public schools. I imagine that our section of country will not favor this, but having surrendered our states sovereignty on al other matters, our position is rather in consistent to oppose a proposition of this kind. For myself I shall continue tc oppose further surrender"

TABLET OF NAMES

I have been in favor of tablets being posted on Twentieth street. containing the names of Birmingham boys who died in France, but if an auditorium is built I think it would be very appropriate to have these tablets placed on the audi torium.
 Nothing short of an auditorium would fit the bill, said Henry J. King. who is connected with the health department. T have joined with others in preaching auditorium ever since I have been in Birmingham. It is something that Bir- mingham needs above everything else Every city in the south it's size has an auditorium. We have no place to take care of those attending conventions. number of conventions of different or ders have been held in other cities just because we have no place to entertain them. And nothing would be more fit- ting than an auditorium in honor of our boys who were killed lover wonder" An auditorium is something that would last, not something that the growth of science would in the course of years place out of date, such as a hospital. All welfare organizations and everybody. little, big old and young should take part in erect ing it. A drive should be launched al once"

LOOKS TOWARD CIVIC CENTER

William T. Warren, architect, stated that the auditorium should be the first building of the civic center group and emphasized the importance of having such a group of buildings.
 At least four of the proposed build ings will be built within few years and they will make a beautiful start Tor the group" he said. Speaking person. ally, as well as professionally, am thor oughly convinced that we can and should have this civic center. By beginning It now, Birmingham would be exercising vision that would prove wise in the fu- ture I heartily agree with Lucius F. Wilson in his statement at the dinner Monday night that of two leaders, one hard-headed business man and the other an artist, or poet. the latter is the one to follow in building cities, because ! he can see beyond the present needs This beautiful group of buildings can De built We should have it. Put me down for an auditorium every time,'' said Arthur Crowder, in referring to the memorial campaign and the erect ing of an institution or building in mem dry of the soldiers who gave their lives that we might live There is notn'ng that Birmingham needs more than an the Chamber of Commerce and in honor of our soldiers woh gave their all
 Like many others, I had given the matter little thought, said Colman Bach," but it seems to me that an au- ditorium would be the thing I think the Civic association, Chamber of Commerce, and, in fact, ali of the welfare organiza tions should take hand in the erecting of if as well as the public.

SELMA ENGINEER SUES BROTHERHOOD
 FOR B|G DAMAGES

Selma, May l)-Civi1 acticn for 900 damages was begun in the circuit court Tuesday by J. W. Green. well known railroad engineer and member of the legislature from Dallas county, against the Grand In- terna tional Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers, alleging defamation of char acter and deep mental anguish by rea- son of MT. Greens expulsion from the order Complaint is also made by the plaintiff, who is represented by Judge J. T. Stokeley of Birmingham, that policy of life insurance which he had carried in the order had been cancelled because of the forcible severance of his membership from the order.
 The difficulty seems to be the out growth of a public statement said to have been made by Mr. Green in the spring of 1917 when a nationwide strike of railroad employees was threat ened. to the effect that if the strike was called he would operate his engine as usual MT. Green is said to have based his refusal to acquiesce in the orders of his superiors on the ground that the economic welfare of the coun- try would be dealt serious blow by the tie-up of the railroads. As a re- suit of his threatened disobedance he was notified of his removal from the order, wherein he says he has been a member in good standing for many years. Hobbs & Hobbs represent the railroad brotherhood in the case.

 pr. N. A. Barrett president of the board of commissioners, stated that he does not believe a very extensive pro- gramme of grouping the various build ings can be carried out.
 Tt would be all right to have the library, the auditorium and the city hall
 in group and that might be done,' he said. "The auditorium must be centrally located I do not think an industrial high school should have place in the group suggested. We must remember one thing that at present brings on em- barrassment. That is the funds required I shall never favor floating more bonds than the city will be able to pay the in terest on and retire on time. I believe that if encouraged, the people woulc build the auditorium by public subscrip- ton. That would be by far the better way.
