Mrs. Echols stated: "Untu l know just how the place win be supervised do not care to express an opinion. However, you may say l am not op- posed to dancing, but think it should be properly supervised, and if 1t is shown that this is the plan of Com- missioner Harrison l will not vote against it.
 Commissioner w. B, Cloe said: "f am opposed to dancing and will cer- tainly vote against it..
 NilI Back Churches
 Commissioner w. F. Dickson when asked what stand he would take on the matter. stated he would rather not make any statement. When told that it looked as if he was trying to dodge the issue he replied. II may be lodging the interview, but l don't dodge the vote. I believe that 90 per cent of the people who know me know how l will vote and what stand will take on this matter. 1 shall certainly vote against it, for 1 know that 90 per cent of the churches in Birmingham are opposed to dancing, and l am going to back them up. 1t Is a moral question and l am willing for the churches to dictate my morals"
 Commissioner William l.. Harrison said of the matter is left to me 1 shall certainly open and operate Per shing pier this season, but 1 expect to have the dancing hall well super Vised and well regulated.
 q can see no harm in dancing in a public hall, but I think it should be supervised, and under my plans it will be under efficient super vision. This dance hall was erected by the city for the public, and 1 think they should be given the use of it. There Is no reason why the municipal dance hall cannot be op- erated in such way that no mother in Birmingham would object to her

if possible some of the board may be 1 impeached for attempting to do such thing.
 The board has dug up an old bid that was submitted Co the old board of revenue about two years ago, when prices were a their peak and have signed a contract with the Dunn Con struction company using those old prices.
 "The members of the old board de- clare that they did not execute a con tract with the Dunn Construction company, neither do the records of the old board show that any contract was let, said records having been kept by D. C. Ball who is now a mem Der of the new board and who seems especially active in trying to put this contract through
 There is another phase to this matter that the innocent public have not been advised about. but matter which the board of revenue knows all about, and that is that there were other bids submitted at the same time the Dunn Construction company's bid was submitted all amounting to ap- proximately $2,O00.0O0 all of which the board of revenue would have the right to sign contracts for if they can get away with the North Besse- mer contract.
 "The execution of this one contract alone means loss of about s100,000 to the county and the execution of all these contracts means loss of more than three-fourths of q million dol lars to the taxpayers of our county.
 This retrenchment policy recently adopted by the board of revenue, in which many iof our worthy institu- tions have been cut short of funds for the coming year and which will suf- fer, is nothing short of a smoke screen. and if the board wants to save money and economize, they should stop their efforts in paying such enormous profits in road building.
 "I have no axe to grind in this mat ter, but the time has come for halt in foolishly spending the peoples money and this is strictly a peoples battle which 1 have started, and 1 shall fight it to a finish"

 Opposed to Operation
 Expressions obtained from various ministers yesterday are as follows:
 Dr, J. k. Hobbs. pastor of the First Baptist church: T am opposed t1 dancing in any form, and particularly public dancing. and do not think that the city should operate a dance hall"
 Dr. Henry NJ. Edmonds. pastor of the Independent Presbyterian church: T think the operation of the city dance nall al East Lake will be all right under proper supervision. and | believe it wiU be an improvement on some of the things now going oa. 1 can see no objection to the opera ton of a dance hall if it is conducted on q high plane. Objections to such places come when, through lack Of regulation, dancers are not required to behave"
 Dr. James E. billiard, pastor of the South Side Baptist church. T am op- posed to the operation of dance hall at East Lake. The public dance hall is one of the worst evils we have to combat, and l do not think it should be operated with official sanction."
 Dr. James Broadly, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church: "The reopening of this matter is an unfortunate move, and | am opposed to it, for I feel that it will be great detriment to East Lake. Tn my opin- ion. public dance halls can never be put under proper supervision.

LONE MAN FIGHTS
 OFF ANGRY BULL

Nauvoo, Illinois, Dec. 16.-A bull fight worthy of the best Spanish tra- dition took place on a farm near here recently.
 Carl Marzolf, the toreador in the case, fought, not for the cheers of a
 crowd, but for a woman's life. A lonely, pasture hillside was the arena, a pitchford instead of a sword was the weapon and instead of a holiday throng two or three scared women
 watched the fight. Marzolf won.
 Miss Agatha Wellner, music teacher had often ventured into the
 pasture on her fathers farm, where the bull was kept but he had never
 made any unfriendly overtures. This day he charged her. For some time she lodged the trees of an old or chard, then ran for the fense where she fell between a stretch of wire
 netting and a thorny hedge. The
 bull could just reach her by stretch ing the netting. Each time she tried to rise he knocked her LGck among the thorns-
 A woman neighbor came with a pitchfork but was unable to make effective use of it against the bull who was now genuinely angry. Mar golf arrived and. fork in hand, climbed the fence. Each time the bull charged, he sidesteped and jab- bed. In one of these bouts he drove the fork so deep into the animal that it was ierked from his hands and carried some distance before it worked loose and fell out. He recov- cred 1t in time. Finally the bull had enough of 1t.

 By cutting the big baseball test from nine games to seven the owners have ended the chance to beat the $900,233 figure established in the eight game struggle between the Giants and Yankees last October.
 There'l be no chance of topping abolished then unless they enlarge their ball parks or get a Babe Ruth in each city so that there will always be one in the big event.
 The only record that may be ex- ceeded will be that for a single day. s attendance. The top figure of this years struggle for single day was on Oct. z, when 36,5 ,509 paid $119, 007 to see the Giants and Tanks battle.
