ACTION M BUILDING
 AUDITORIUM ASKED

The money has been voted. now let the comm ssion act"
 Let Agitation Go On
 Let the agitation of the audito- rum question go on," says Darby Brown.
 Ut is a shame that it's building has been showed aside for so long time. I am afraid. however, that the pres ent site is an unfortunate one on &C., count of the noise from the railroad yards.
 "I know from personal experience that noise is a great disturber of the deliberations of any large body. I re- call that at the Southern Baptist con cention. which was held in New Or leans some years back that a build ing was being erected nearby the place where the sessions of the con- vention were held and that it him dered greatly the transaction of busi- ness and was sore trial to the speakers as well as the hearers"
 Wants Action
 Build the auditorium and quit so much talking about it." says Pelham Anderson.
 T have gottensto that point where I am willing to have it put anywhere and made any size, just so it goes up before the present commission has to stand i0- reelection, that is provided any of it's present members will want to succeed themselves.
 "The delay of the old board in the matter. l am sure, had something to do with it's retirement. 1 am not pass ing judgment on it's lack of action, but simply voicing the feeling of many who felt that it was too slow in taking action. Place, size and other details should be left in the hands of those competent to pass upon them.
 Get busy!"
 Prom the first mention of the present site of the auditorium I was against it,' says Dr. Byron Dozier.
 q do not believe it possible to overcome the handicap of the rail- road yards in the rear, and when there is such difference of opinion in regard to it, why not play for safety and make a change before 1t Is too late.
 By all means, give the present commission a free hand in the mat ter. They were elected by an over whelming vote, and as they are re- sponsible to the people for the per formance of their duty they ought not to be hindered by anything which the old commission may have done In regard to the auditorium. I am in favor of an auditorium with a seat ing capacity of not less than 10000"

GOVERNOR ASKED TO OFFER REWARD
 IN FEIGAN MURDER

Recommendation that Gov. Thomas E. Kilby offer a reward for the ar rest and conviction of the slayers or sam Feigan who was murdered in 1ocal alley November 22 is contained in letter by Solicitor Joseph R' Tate to the governor yesterday
 The solicitors letter recites that reward of $500 for the apprehension of the murderers has already been or fered by the Jewish people of the city and this amount will probably be dou- bled by them. The solicitor asks the chief executive to offer as large re- ward on behalf of the state as ne thinks s justified by the importance or the crime, which is described as "a cold blooded murder.
 Feigan was found dead under cir cumstances which led officials to be- lieye that he was killed for personal reasons ard not for purposes of rob bery. When found his watch ana money were found undisturbed> on his perSOQ.
