bURRUSS TALKS 0N
 SPEED NUISANCE City Accepts Garfield Prop erty as Detention Hos-
 pital for Women

The outstanding feature at yesterdays meeting of the city commission was the acceptance by the city of the Garfield property Avenue A as a detention
 hospital for women victims of social dis eases. Mrs. Fannie J. Garfield. owner of the property, has donated the build-
 ing entirely free of cost to be used as a clinic for these women, City and coun- ty health authorities have already taken steps to finance the new hospital by ap- propriating $5o0O and s10,o00 respectively
 for it's maintenance.
 The ordinance creating an art commis- sion to superntend the construction of all public memorials was postponed a week pending minor changes. Commissioner Burruss made several
 suggestions at the meeting as to how the speed nuisance could be abated. He spoke of the method employed in other cities, where ridges. placed at intervals in the popular streets, had stopped the practice. MT. Burruss also discussed the
 needed improvements contemplated for railroad crossings
 The matter of paving Twenty-second | street from Eighth avenue to the Frisco railI cad depot was referred to City En- | gineer Julian Kendrick. A petition con- l tsining this request was presented to ' the commission by several merchants , and shippers.
 l Commissioner Ellis Brown was author
 ized to enter into negotiations with the city of Memphis in reference to the sale
 of male llama at Avondale park, which l the Tennessee metropolis had expressed the, warmest desire to obtain.

TEAMS ID MAKE CANVASS FOR
 NEAR EAST RELIEF
Drive to Continue Through out the Day in Effort to Reach the Goal Set by
 Committee

Today picked teams from the French, British and Belgian armies will make an assault on the downtown territory of the Birmingham sector and bring in the kopecks for the Armenian-Syrian re- lief and local charities fund that is be- inG increased daily by voluntary sub scription and work of the various teams of the allied armies, the Rainbow divi- sion having so far taken honors in the drive.
 Chairman J. Mercer Barnett last night gave out the statement that he would continue the drive throughout the day. and that a desperate effort would be mace to reach the goal which has been set, $75,000, but that the indications now pointed to the fact that the figures would fall far short of the quota set for the campaign. The people have not respond ed as they have in former drives and tine corporations have taken the position that the erding of the war has cast damper over the voluntary giving and that they are helpless to bring any pres sure to bear upon their employees in the premises.
 Just what the final figure will be to- night is problematcal. but it is expected tfat many people who are interested in the campaign, though they have already contributed will double up and this will greatly help to swell the totals.

and supply service to France, made the rail and water rates from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and the east to the southeast the same as the all-r rates Of course, shippers then used the all rail routes because they thought they could get quicker deliveries.
 Prior to the time when that order went into effect the majority of frcigb, from the north Atlantic cities to the southeast came by boat to south Atlantic or Gulf coast ports, thence by rail to the interior cities, but this is not done new, and shipments by steamer is not likely to be resumed until the differ ential is again esta ablished.
 up to the time of this order there was a 71l cents differential on first-class com oddities in favor of the rail and water route with the result that shippers used this service because it was cheaper and IT ore satisfa ctory Following the effec- tiveness of this order steamers were withdrawn from the coastwse trade and put into the service of the government transporting soldiers and supplies to France. Some of these ships have been returned to their owners, but the busi- ness having been diverted to the rail roads, they haven't sufficient cargoes to justify them to make regular saifings, Formerly there were two or three sail
 ngs a week from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore for the south Atlantic and Gulf ports, but we cannot hope for return to these conditions LII til the dfferential is again established. However, the ship owners will never get any business until they go out aftet it. and unless they afford the means ot hauling freight they cannot expect to get the business
 An effort will be made to induce the government to restore the differentia- thereby restoring the trade through Mo- bile, which Is necessary to the develop mcnt of the Warrior river.

Just as everything pertaining to the development of the Warrior river traf- fic began to take on a rosy hue some body had to come along and disrupt the programme Hardly had the barges and boats under government control com pleted their initial round trips from Mo- bile to the coal fields when the man. agement of the Mallory Steamship com pany announced that it's service to Mo bile would be discontinued, and all eff forts made since that announcement to induce the company to countermand it's order have proved futile.
 Several days ago Chairman w. D. Nes- bitt of the Warrior river development committee wired G. A. Tomlinson, direc- tor of inland waterways of the railroad administration, calling his attention to this action of the Mallory company, pointing out the importance of this ser vice to the Warrior river development, and urging him to use his influence to bring about a reinstatement of the ser vice Yesterday MT. Nesbitt received d letter from Mir. Tomlinson stating that the Mallory management claimed that there was not sufficient business to jus tify a continuance of the service and that the present rate of wages made it inn possible to operate except at a finan- cial loss
 MT Nesbitt handed copy of the letter from Mir Tomlinson to Secretary O. l.. Bum of the Birmingham traffic bureau with the suggestion that he take what ever steps he might deem necessary un- der the circumstances. Discussing the action of the Hallory company and the Tomlnson letter Mfr. Bum said

STEEL WILL GO
 ID MOBILE SOON
 FOR USE IN SHIPS
President Crawford Says Ships Will Be Constructed There as Soon as Ma
 terial Is Available

The big plant of the Chicka- saw Shipbuilding company at Mobile, a subsidiary of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail road company, will probably be making ships within a very short time.
 President George Gordon Crawford of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company and also of the Chicka- saw company, stated yesterday that steel for ships to be built at Mobile would probably be going forward very soon. In statement made to an Age Herald reporter yesterday afternoon President Crawford said:
 We are going to build some ships at Mobile That is what the Chickasaw
 company was incorporated for. It is
 a shipbuilding company. We will have
 to ship the steel to Mobile though,
 before we can build any ships, and
 we have not shipped any there yet.
 It will have to be fabricated before
 it can go into ships, however, but we
 hope to have some steel en route to
 Mobile within very short time. In
 fact, I think it will be very soon.
 When asked whom the ships were to be built for, whether for outside owners or for the Steel corporation, MT. Craw- ford replied: T do not know who will own them; they will be built by the com pany but for whom I cannot say, as that is matter not of moment, but a thing that will be decided after they are constructed. They may be sold as fast as they are built
