BUNN AUDITORIUM
 PLAN INACCURATE,
 HAROLD CONTENDS
Says Chattanooga Structure Will Seat 5000 and Cost S590,000; Legislature
 Commissioned Board

Charles L. Harold. secretary of the Birmingham Civic Association, yester- day made the following statement in reply to o. L. Bum on the chatta- nooga auditorium situation;
 50 many inaccurate statements were contained in the published in terview with o. L. Bum, secretary manager of the Chamber of Com merce, concerning the Chattanooga auditorium that the correct figures should be given to the Birmingham public. The problems of the city com mission are difficult enough without having to contend with misinforma- tion leading one to believe that be- cause Chattanooga Is building an auditorium which Mfr. Bum says will seat 5000 people for less than Bir- mingham's auditorium fund, this city should easily build such an institu tion to seat 10000 people.
 Now the facts are that the capac- ity of the Chattanooga auditorium will be $500. instead of 5000. as claimed for it by Mir. Bunn. I do not know where he secured his informa tion on this subject. The architect, R. H. Hunt of Chattanooga, told me last week in that city that the capacity will be the lesser figure. and further that the cost of the auditorium now in course of construction there will be at least s5s0,o0 instead of $450,- 006, asserted by Mr. Bum to be the cost. The total sum available for the Chattanooga auditorium. for both site and structure. is s7o0.ooo of which the site cost s110,000, leaving for con struction and equipment the balance of $590,0o0.
 The Chattanooga project includes a theatre with a capacity of 1900 persons, which Is, however. an inde- pendent auditorium designed to serve gatherings of theatrical character or smaller than the main auditorium. It also is in the nature of soldiers and sailors memorial. and this entailed many expensive and artistic features which will be unnecessary in Bir- mingham's undertaking. Therefore, I was glad to have Mir. Hunt assure me that for the Birmingham building and equipment fund of approximately $425, ,000 we should erect an audi torium of at least the capacity of Chattanoogas, namely, $500, This. on account of the large stage, can be in- creased to 5000 capacity on most oc- casions.
 "The legislature of Tennessee cre- ated a special commission of Chatta- nooga business men, who were charged with the construction of that auditorium and the responsibility was not delegated to them by the city commission of Chattanooga.
 T am sure that MT. Bum would not Intentionally mislead the public by inaccurate statements, but he has no doubt received his data from unin- formed sources. I might add that Chattanooga's auditorium is situated about four blocks from the Patten ho- tel and a block or two from the main retail business district, thus enabling 1t to conveniently serve the many conventions which the city expects 10 get"

White Plague Sanitariun1
 Closes Doors July I, After
 70 Years SerUing Hun1anity

Rer Mountain sanatorirm for treat ment of tuberculosis. which has been maintained by the Anti Tuberculosis association of Jefferson county for 10 years will be discontinued July i, according to an announcement made yesterday before the board of revenue by E. NJ. Tutwiler, Jr.. president of the association.
 With the approval of the state board of health. Mir. Tutwiler stated that training of school children in the prevention of tuberculosis will be substituted for the sanatorium work. The board was notified by the as sociation in order that some dispe- sition may be made of the dozen county patients now at the sanitar- ium.
 Huey Champions Cause
 Thomas E. Huey was appointed committee of one to investigate the possibility of establishing an annex at the county farm for the care Of tuhercular patients kept up by the county. MT. Tutwiler stated that the association would be glad to turn over its beds, kitchen ware and other equipment to the county.
 Abandon Advanced Cases
 About S5 patients are now under the care of the sanitarium while the number needing treatment in tho county is between 800 and 400. ae- cording to Mir. Tutwiler. In his opinion the funds. used in an attempt to cure advanced cases of tubercu- losis can be more effectively spent in the training of school children.

FLAG DAY PROGRAM
 PLANNEDFOR TODAY
George Lewis Bailes Speaks at Exercises at Old
 Seminary

Flag Day program of more than. usual interest has been prepared for the celebration at the Federal Edu- cational center by Miss Frances Youngblood in charge of training for vocational ex-service men at the old seminary at 1716 Fifth avenue.
 George Lewis Bailes will be the speaker for the occasion. There will De a musical program including group songs and tableaux preceding Mir. Bailes' address on our Flag and Us.' MT. Bales said last night he would attempt to give a simple in- depreciation of President Woodrow Wilson's illustrious statement that red and white stripes represent the alternate strips of parchment upon which the principles of American freedom have been written and the blood which was spilled in maintain- ing these, and the starry field rep resents the serene blue into which all nations may drop anchor if they will so subscribe to these principles.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-06-14

Most cases of tuberculosis Mr. Tut wiler stated. are contracted before l5 years of age and that in order to effectively combat the white plague" children must be taken from birth and given proper physical training and education that will arm them against the disease. A three weeks upbuilding course will be given during the simmer, he said, at the Shades Cahaha High school. The state association, he added, is fitting up a car with moving pictures and full equipment Tor a statewide cam paign in behalf of a state sanitarian for the treatment of tubercular patients.
 Huey Points Out Error
 mistake is being made, Mir. Huey stated, in abolishing the sanitarium. He thought that the county city and charitable institutions ought to unite to keep it going as well as work in the schools. MT. Tutwiler stated that the Anti Tuberculosis association was going to work with the other or 8anizations in the upkeep of the Ghildren's hospital where tuberculosis as we'll as other diseases will be treated and that nutrition classes will be maintained In the schools and where children are found not able to pay for treatment they will be taken to the Children's hospital
 The county has been paying Sf5o a month for the upkeep of it's patients at the sanitarium. Mr. Tut wiler stated that the cost of keeping each patient is about s45 a month.

CHAPPELL TALKS
 ON NE PIERS
Theological Guests Are Also Heard at Weekly Xii
 WaniS Lunch

Newspapers do not run short of news because every daily newspaper uses process of elimination, the editors having to use great care in selecting the news for the columns from the great amount turned in, of which great amount must be thrown away" said James F. Chap pell of the Birmingham News, in speaking before the Kiwanis club yesterday at their regular weekly luncheon held at the Southern club. He had been assigned the topic How 1t feels to sit in the presidents chair"
 To grow and prosper newspaper must print all the news, even If friend should be involved, said MT. Chappell. The quickest way for new spaper to die Is to begin the sup pression of news and failing to play square with the people, he said.
 Every news story and every feature of a live newspaper has it's readers and the very feature one person does not like another person thinks is the most interesting thing about the paper, said Mir. chappell.
 "The thing that is most important to the life of newspaper is ac- suracy," Mir Chappell continued. "N hile a newspaper must make some
  quired in order for paper to pros per"
 Advertising Is what might be aptly termed the life blood of newspaper for it is from advertising that every cent of profit is made, he said in taking up this phase of the newspaper. "The circulation Is the basis for advertising. however, and every paper strives to increase isa. this line
 MT. Chappell called attention to the public spirit of Birmingham news papers and made the assertion that no newspaper in the United States printed as much luncheon club news as the Birmingham News and Age Herald.
 Dr. Edwin l.. Earp of Drew Theo- logical seminary, Madison, N. J., ana pr. J. w. Perry of Nashville, were two -minute speakers on the program, pr. Earp paid tribute to the south in speaking of the future,

ROBERTS MURDER
 CASE CONTINUES.
Altman Uses Entire Court Session Yesterday in De-
 fense Arguments

After speaking all day, Attorney John Altman for the defense had not completed his argument in the trial of Edna Marc on a charge of mur- der when court adjourned at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 Big placards showing extracts in red and black from the testimony of Felton R. Corn, companion of Ralph J. Roberts on the night he was killed at the Marc home, were dis played before the jury. Attempt was made 10 impeach the testimony of Corn by showing comparative state ments made by Corn at the pre- limlnary hearing before Judge H. E. Abernethy and at the trial in crlm- inal court.
 The names of all witnesses were also placed on placard about six feet high and Altman took up Fhe testimony of each, especially that of city detectives, who stated that they would not believe the Naros on oath. The guns of the defense are being turned on Corn, on whose testimony the case of the state largely lies. Altman was allowed to speak unii- terrupted with the exception of oae time when Special Prosecutor Rod erick Beddow claimed that an in- proper remark was made. He was ovcrruled.
 Altman began his argument at { o'clock Monday afternoon, making a total of nine hours that he has held the floor. By agreement no time limit was set and it is expected that Roderick Beddow, who will close the case for the state, will con sume almost as long time as MT. Altman With the judges charge to be given, 1t is probable that the case will not reach the jury before ts- morrow.
