ME,IpER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
PAT HARRISON TELLS EN-.

During debate in the Senate few
days ago on the soldier compensa-
ton bill republicans, defending the
action of Mr.. Harding in going to
the senate to deliver a message in
opposition to the bonus measure,
cited that President Wilson had fire.
guently appeared in person to add
the weight of his personality to the
messages he delivered.
Senator Mcclellan had previously
stated that Mr.. Harding was the first
president ever to appear in the Sen
ate and oppose the passage of a
measure, especially at the stage
where the body was at the point of
voting. Senator Harrison observed:
at is peculiarly strange, tho,
it would seem to me, that while
in the case of President Wilson
coming to Congress it was in the
interest of world peace, world
humanity, the enfranchisement
of the women of the country, for
the ship purchase bill and other
constructive legislation, yet the
only time the present President
has come before the senate has
been in an obstructive way, and
he has attacked the soldiers of
America who fought and won
the recent war"
Penrose, first lieutenant Of the R.
publican oligarchy, had few minu
ties before moved for recommitmen
of the compensation measure, which

any man to dictate the policy of the
city commission"
At that point G. S. Hunt, a member
of the delegation, said: MIR. Presi
dent, did you not tell me the track
would not be allowed to go down the
center of the street? Commissioner
Dickson said the same thing"
Didn't you tell me last Saturday
that Mr.. Dickson was falling down
because Mr.. Beatty had threatened<to
take the trash dumps from the clty7"
said w e. Morris, another member of
the delegation. Mr. McLendon ad
mitted that he had told Mr.. Morris
that Mr.. Beatty had told Mr.. Dickson
he would do this.
Former Commission
Everything was done to settle this
matter with the former commission,
Mr.. Morris stated, but to no avail.
and the situation was most danger
Gus. Commissioner Dickson stated
that he did not remember saying
the car line would not be put in the
center of the street, but that he had
first recommended to the commission
that a strip of property be purchased
and the street widened, but had been
told that the city had no money to do
this. He said he then recommended
that the corner at the intersection of
Twelfth avenue and Thirty-sixth
street be cut and the track placed in
the center of the street. In his opin-
ion, he said the car line in the center
of the street would not be as dan
gerous as 1t would be on the side and
it was that which actuated his recon-
mendation and not any bluffing, he
said.
Dangerous Intersection
Commissioner Harrison stated that
this was a dangerous intersection and
he realized it was complicated and
should be considered carefully before
acted upon. When he made the motion
referring the matter to Mr.. Dickson
he stated 1t was with no intention
of Sinking any responsibility.
Commissioner Cloe then made mo-
ton that the city purchase IL feet
of land on the west side and widen
the street.
President McLendon offered as a
substitute that the Birmingham
Realty company and the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company
be required to place the car line on
the west side of the street, next to
the curbing. This was adopted with
one dissenting vote, that of Commits
sioner Dickson.

Blufred the Commission
Unless some one takes the load
that the city should bear then this
death trap Will exist for the next rs
years." said Mr.. Dlnsmore, land we
believe that Groom Beatty of the Bir-
mingham Realty company has bluffed
the commission into this change by
threatening to exict them from the
city trash dumps which are on his
property. If you haven't the money,
then 1t is your duty to raise 1t in or
der to alleviate this trap, which every
member of the commission, when they
went to the scene, stated they thought
was wrong.
Are you going to put yourself in
the position of doing what you admit
Is wrong just for the paltry sum of
S6,0002 We want the car line put on
the west side of the street near the
property of the realty company, and IL
Mr.. Beatty evicts the city from the
trash DUNN then am sure every civic
organization In the city will get be-
hind the city and float bonds to build
a crematory.
Have the Authority
rs one man to dictate the policy OF
the commission All we ask Is thaL
you commissioners do your duty. You
did not grant the franchise for the
car line. but you have the authority
to say whore it shall go on the street
and we ask that you do this"
Joseph Mudd headed committee
from the Junior Chamber of Com
merce, who stated that this commit
tee had visited the scene and did not
come for the purpose of debating but
of its interest In public safety and
1t believed that the placing of the
car line in the center of the street
will be a menace to public safety.
He stated that an average of 100 auto
mobiles an hour passed this street and
on Sunday there were between 200
and 800, and that there was little
pedestrian traffic.
Surplus Money Spent
D. ID. McLendon, president of the
commission, told tho delegation that
If the commission had granted the
franchise it would have purchased IL
feet additional to widen the street.
but that practically all surplus
money had been taken out of their
hands and that they would try to set
tie the matter satisfactorily. Mr..
Beatty has not bluffed anyone" he
said, "and we do not intend to allow

TRIPLE HEADER IS
DUE FOR CHILDREN

Lots of little children are expect
ed to storm the Strand theatre Sat-
urday morning at 10 o'clock when
the Better Filth association Is put
ting on a triple header program for
little folks.
The proceeds from these shows on
Saturday mornings do not go to
the theatre. The programs are put

and their entrance fees of 10 cents
each are turned back to the little
group of local workers, of which
Mrs. P. II. Earle is president, to
bring on other films.
The purpose of the pictures is
purely educational.
The three numbers scheduled for
Saturday are Mother Goose
"Goldie Locks and the Three Bears"

AS II Is Christmas eve, carols will
be sung. Although the program does
not begin till 10 o'clock, the house
will be open at $3.50 a. m. is the
announcement of Lloyd Towns, man
ager.
so many people have fancied that
probably we were profiting by these
programs. Not a cent ne saiu'
1--WE simply donate our theatre for
the benefit of the city's children.
Some parents have complained that
fhey do not care to take their little
folks TO grown-up plays, and that
the children should have programs
of their own. So our purpose is
merely to do our bit for the chill
dren through the Better Film as
ISOLATION, which is extremely I'M
terested in bringing pictures that
shall be of special value to youth.
