 This Morning

Tonight at o'clock the gallery seats Tor the Farrar concert at the Jefferson VIII go on sale. The indications are that there will be large crowd on hand to secure them for the premier appearance here of the world-famous metropolitan opera prima donna and moving picture star
 The rules of the Jefferson theatre are that the gallery seats go on sale one hour before the performance, and this evenin 2 there Will be no deviation from the rule. so that those who arrive there first will be served first.
 The only thing in connection with The appearance of Geraldine Tarrar here that has caused the management of the
 All Star Concerts" any anxiety whatever has been the fact that only about one third of the people who wanted to hear the famous singer have been able to se- cure tickets.
 Hundreds have been disappointed. but many hundreds have at the same lime been happy in being able to make reser- yations, and Miss Farrar, when she makes here premier bow to Birmingham this evening will find one of the most fash ionable and one of the most brilliant audi ences which has ever greeted her
 Miss Farrar and her concert company. composed of Ada Sassoi, harpist; Edgar Schofield, baritone, and Claude Gotthelf. pianist, will arrive at noon today from their recent triumphs. for everywhere the Farrar Concert Company has appeared superb reception has been given them.
 Few musical events have ever taken place in Birmingham that have attracted the attention that the presentation of Ger aldine Farrar by the All Star Concerts" has, and the enthusiasm with which the occasion has been greeted attests not only to the great popularity of the famous star, but to the great appreciation of Birming- hams real love for music.

 for this city.
 The negroes arrested yesterday are being held in the county jail without bond. Officers are of the opinion tha, they are the three remaining members of a gang of seven, which have par. ticipated in most of the hold-ups which have occurred in and around this city this month. Four other negroes, two of whom are said to have confessed were arrested about two weeks ago and have been held in the county jan since that time

ALABAMA COMPANY STARTS NEW PLAN Slate Wiped Clean So Far As Any Union Connection
 Is Concerned

The Alabama Company, iron opera tor and large coal producer, has wiped the slate clean and made a new start, so far as any connection of any latm'e with the miners union is concerned
 By this evening this company will have laid off all the men working at Searles and Brookwood, where recent walk -outs occurred, and will begin hiring the men back without reference to the old Blue Book contract.
 The company's position is that fhe men broke the Blue Book contract by walking out The company has de- clfned to substitute the Beltona or uniform agreement contract, This places the Alabama Company in the same position as all the other ron operators. None of them now recog. nize the union or has direct or indirect agreements with it.
 William l.. Harrison, international organizer, went to Brookwood Monday and advised the men to return to work, The union president then applied to he superintendent, MT. Tubb, and he re> ferred them to General Superintcn1 ant Strong in Birmingham. MT. Strong in- formed the men that the contract with them had been broken by them and that the company would hire h on henceforth on new basis. The men were WiIllhS 10 work under the Bel tona contract but the company de- clined to substitute that for the Blue Book contract, and held that the men mad broken that contract by their walk tout of last Saturday.
 The company will pay off in cash today and give notice to vacate houses. This will formally dispose of all yes tiges of the Blue Book contract Tho Beltona contract has been declined and the Alabama Company will employ .hs men de novo.
 The Alabama Company is now in the position of the other iron operators, and no large coal mining concern has any connection with the miners Inlon.

ROGERS SUGGESTS
 ANOTHER LOCATION
 FOR GIRLS SCHOOL
Clarke Place Beyond Roebuck Springs Makes Supply Haul ing Too Expensive-To
 Fight Removal

Measures for the launching of a comprehensive campaign to prevent the moving of the Alabama Training School for Girls from the Birmingham dis trict were discussol at a meet ing of the board of directors of the Civic Association yesterday at noon.
 A. R. Dearborn was appointed chair man of committee to take charge of the work of investigating the present site for possible defects and deciding whether a new site will be the best sc- luton of the problem.
 The action was taken in compIi-
 ance with a letter from C. B. Rog-
 CTS, president of the Alaba ma board
 of control and economy. with head-
 quarters at Montgomery. In his
 communication, MT. Rogers said
 that the present location of the
 school made 1t very inconvenicnt
 md very expensive to maintain tLe
 institution and keep it in the nec-
 essary supplies. He stated that
 the transportation of the supplies
 was q great tax and expense to ihe
 state.
 It will be rememb bered that about five years ago the question of moving the school. which is distinctly Birming- ham institution, having been fostsred by the phiianthropic people of the city, was brought up at Montgomery. At that time, the school was situated at the end of the East Lake car line in most inadequate quarters.
 RAISED S25, 5,O00
 In response to the call which waA made at that time, Birmingham citizens raised $25.oo0 to keep the institution in The country home of Gen. Louis V. Clarke, situated beyond Roebuck Springs, in the east end of th> valley was bought, and partly donated by General Clarke as location for he home.
 The Clarke home at that time was considered one of the show places of Jefferson county situated, as it is, in the heart of the woods with all con veniences and with every advant age in the way of seclusion, beauty and healthfulness that such an institution should have. It was considered at the time, both by the state authorities and the local people, to be an ideal .oca- tion for the home.
 DEEDED TO STATE
 The property was duly deeded to the state and the home was established there.
 Now the claim that the home is too Tar from any city or town and anoth- CT site will have to be provided, if not Birmingham, which has spent .hou- sands of dollars on the institution, u en by some other city in the state.
 MT. Dearborn, with his committee. which will be appointed within tho next few days, will investigate the conditions surrounding the present lo> cation and make recommendations as to other sites A meeting of the com, mittee will be called in the next few days.

Despite the rain yesterday, women from every walk of life and every age, with little children and some with babies showed and shuffled in their frantic et- forts to have the.r names placed on the poll lists of the county before the regis traitor books closed So intense was the rush that additional clerks were neces sary and even then members of the board of registrars and the twenty as- sistants assigned to handle the applica- ticns were swamped. Although the fem mine voters were being turned out very rapidly, it was impossible to miss them from the crowd as fresh throngs con- tinued to arrive.

 So anxious were the women to qualify in order that they might participate Tn the presidential election a large number were waiting at the office of the board of registrars yesterday morning when members and clerks arrived From that time until Il o'clock last night there was a steady stream of women clamoring to be registered.
 After standing in line for some time tho women reached the desk of NJ E.. Morris, chairman of the board, and later marched triumphantly out of the court house with their registration certifi- cates.
 Many women edged their way through the crowd carrying infants in their arms but these were rushed through by the volunteer floor walkers who were on the scene to assist the women in every way possible Others had the forethought % bring along their husbands to look after the babies while they qualified to voc. Many men accompanied their wives daughters and sisters to the registrd- tion office. but after ploughing their way through the crowd to the eNlt, those men who had inadvertently been caught in this maelstrom of femininty audibly sighed with relief when th-y reached the street
 NEGROES REGISTER
 Throughout the day there was long line of negro women making applica- tion for registration. Approximately lp of these women will have their names placed on the poll lists of the county. Carrie Tuggle of Tuggle Institute Was the first negro woman to register. Othsrs uuilifying included d number or schooi teachers and the wives or some or me best known negro men in Birmingham. Al; of these were able to stand the eX- animation regarding educational quaiiti- cations.
 There are 354 negro men voters in Jel- ferson county, according to records at the office of NJ. E. Morris, chairman or the board of registrars. The negro women qualifying were recommended py some of the most prominent men an1 women in Birmingham.

PENNIES GROW INTO NOTES
interesting Connection Between the
Extremes Of Currency In Com
monwealth Of Australia.

Toward the end Of each year PEN
niles and halfpennies go by the hun
dred thousand into Australian chill
dren's money boxes and are held back
by big business firms In anticipation
of the coming inflow Of customers.
To cope with the demand, the Sgd
ney and Melbourne minis have been
steadily at work since. June last year.
In four months 100000 new pennies
and 100000 new halfpennies were sent
into circulation In Victoria alone. II
is equally Interesting to note that half
the total commonwealth note issue
consists Of e. 900 notes, Of which there
are more than $4,000 notes In cIrcu-
lation, as against the 1900 odd, f100
notes. There are about 13,J00,000 Fl
notes, and the total commonwealth
note Issue Is stated as EOS. 269.719. In
a vigorous young commonwealth the
connection between the 1900 note
and the newly. minted copper in the
child's money box is not dlficult to
imagine.
