Majority Of Commission Favors
 Acknowledgement Project


 Acknowledgement Project
 Owenton and Graymont section cit izens may get their new park at the adjourned meeting of the commits sioners to be held Wednesday morn ing at 10 o'clock. The matter was brought up at the commissions reg ular meeting Tuesday, but because President D. P. McLendon and Com missioner W. F. Dickson had been called to a conference of engineers on the floor above, a vote on buying the park was not taken.
 At the last scanning of the situa- ton th.' vote stood two for buying and two against. with Commissioner Mary Echols absent. When the ques- tion to buy or not to buy was raised Tuesday favorably majority was available, but the question was passed. L. E. Gray, clerk of the com mission, was sent to see what the ab- Lendon sent word to vote him aye and Mir. Dicksons message was to count him as not voting.
 City Attorney w. l. Wynn, when asked for advice. said postponement was tke better course as he was not sure MT. McLendon's absentee vote would hold if a legal question ever arose over the purchase. Commis- sioners Harrison and Echols were in favor of the purchase. Commissioner Cloe says he wants to know where the money is coming from before eX- pressing himself favora ply. Member of the commission look for a final settlement of the question at the Wednesday meeting.

N0N| MORE HOPES OF RAISING TRACKS.
Railway Engineers Again Dis- cuSs Merits Of Viaduct
 Or Underpass

Railways engineers were immersed in mass of blue prints of the pro- posed underpass system Tuesday morning. threshing out more details and ramifications of the grade cross been set for June II, when they hope to have settled specifications to pre- sent before the officials of Birming- ham and the railroads.
 Decidedly a more hopeful view was taken of the plan to raise the rail- road right of way along Railroad av- enue from Twenty-third to Four teenth streets, after the meeting held Tuesday. At the same time the prop osition of another viaduct, east of Twenty third street, was just as much in evidence.
 A. J. Hawkins city engineer. said after the meeting the engineers were not SO much interested in a settle ment of the question between under passes and viaducts, as they were in finding out how much the work will cost. how it can be done and which is the better way. When they have completed their technical work their meeting of the city commissioners with the presidents of the railroads affected
 In conference with MT. Hawkins Tuesday were L. l.. Morton of Louis vile, Ky. engineer of the Louisville and Nashville railroad: D. D. Tobin of Birmingham, engineer for the Southern railroad; H. B. Barry, prin- cipal assistant engineer of the Frisco system, and City Commissioners D. F. McLendon and W. E. Dickson.

SELECTING SHOWS FUR NEXT WINTER
Jefferson Has Already Booked Score Showing Quality
 Of Attractions

Brown Parks, manager of the Jeff ferson theatre. has already booked score of what he believes to be the best shows available on the stage for the coming season. Although the list is far from complete he says he has enough to show what the season will be like.
 It would be against all laws of theatrical ethics to open with any thing other than a minstrel show, so "Lasses' White x Co.,, are booked for the initial performance. As all of the present bookings are subject to possible change of date at this time of year, the time of showing Is held up for the present.
 Blossom Time" heralded as mu- sical artistry. is scheduled for the early fall It will be followed by the Al G. Field minstrels.
 Thank U." comedy, by John Golden, author of the immortal 'Lightnin." is in an early position nounced by critics as good a show as the one that took the author into the forefront of playwrights of the hour.
 The Covered Wagon" Emerson Houghs historical drama of the open ing up of the west over the Oregon trail. motion picture play. has been
 
 given the story through it's first pub lication in a magazine, and excerpts that have appeared in other publica tions.
 'The Perfect Foll.' with Ed Wynn Is listed, more or less musical comedy It will be followed by The Bat" well remembered from last year.
 "Kempy" is a light comedy offer. ing, said to be as appealing ant numerous as Grumpy"
 Still Another Minstrel.
 Not satisfied with two minstre, shows, Neil O'Brien has been booked to liven things up again toward mid winter; and If that does not fill the bill, Up in the Clouds" a musical comedy is scheduled to smile the frost away. It will be followed by The Bingham Girl" musical com edy again, and 1t by Molly Darling, another of the same.
 again, this time in "Clinging Vines. ing Dearie" is heralded as bordering on light opera, despite its name And next in order will be an old friend of the vintage of 1906. big hats and all, The Merry Widow"
 The list is yet far from complete and will be when finished generously interspersed, MT. Parkes says, with plays that will fill the desires of all
 Before the season opens the front of Jefferson will be given a renova tion, the upper parts repainted and touch here and there. where needed will be added to the inside.

AUDITORIUM HITS SNAG;; NO PROVISION
 MADE FOR HEATING

Grinding and clattering. the first class cruiser Auditorium" struck a snag at Nineteenth street and Fourth avenue Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. and in sight of the full board of city fathers went out of commis- sion, almost wrecked, but fair target for salvage.
 The cruiser was launched Saturday morning by the city commissioners and members of the Associated archi- tects, and 1t was not until Tuesday morning when she was coming down Ninteenth street under full steam on her trial run that the turbines stopped. Examination showed the vessel had been running on her repu- tation, for there was as yet, no pro vision for heating and the full head of steam mentioned was finally traced to all the hot air that has been accommodating about the boat,
 The Auditorium" mounts a lot of big guns, and even during the many years of her discussion has drawn fire on all quarters. Her home port has been under heavy bombardment since before the World war began, in fact so many verbal projectiles have hit the spot, excavation for the foundations will be. if advisable, a simple turning of the hot air that way and the superfluous dirt can be blown out.
 O o o
 In Shallow Water.
 With a three-foot list to port the Auditorium" drifted up against the city hall and settled in shallow water A boarding party was formed the members of which quickly swarmed on deck and claimed salvage. However when they went between decks they found no lighting had been pro- vided and that they were all again In the dark. In the heat of discussion that followed the wheel began to spin again for the steam gague showed 90,000 pounds to the square inch; some feared an explosion.
 The wrecking crew opened the sea cocks to flood the fires and engineers announced repairs might be made in time for the adjourned meeting of the commission to be held Wednesday morning. When some one suggested placing the colors at Union down." it was pointed out that half the flags on Nineteenth street were already hung to indicate abandon ship" or .mutiny."

being the intention to have them cre- ate things according to their own conception. And many are the inter- esting things they have made.
 At Bayview the exhibit was in keeping with the high standards maintained at all of the exhibits The home gardens at Bayview have been highly successful, many vege- tables being grown even by the kin dergarten kiddies. Also at Bayview is whore one found the gorgeous birds Of paradise fashioned from d at Bayview have arranged their ex- hibit in booths where dresses are shown, hats, baby cloths, a Japanese garden and an exhibit showing the development of period architecture from the crude hut of the pioneer to the colonial and thence to the bunga- low type of home. Here also one was amazed at the colored Japanese lanterns strung seemingly everywhere over the exhibit hall.
 O O O
 Make Miniature Newspaper.
 The most interesting feature at Bayview to newspaper writer was the reproduction by hand of a It. page standard size newspaper. It contained the foreign news on the front page With high class local stories. There followed ads of many merchants, and the back page was full page ad regarding an ice cream supper. Inside is found pie ture page with "all the pictures fit to print" These were created by inserting kodak pictures of the many lovely views at Bayview. The sports page was edited by Edward O'Tools, while Carl Landgraff was named as editor and Elmer Barron staff artist. In every detail was the reproduction skilful and reflected great credit upon the youngsters that created the paper. Newspaper talent is certainly centered around Bayview.
 A reproduction of the road to Bay view, showing the dangerous curves and having warnings. was shown as were other safety first suggestions. Safety first slogans and suggestions were numerous and good at all the exhibits.
 The exhibits were visited by d l large number of interested persons | Tuesday at the two places named | and it Is expected that the exhibit at Ensley Thursday will be excep- | tionally well attended. The work cannot be praised too highly ant | those who have seen it feel that the | instructors of the Tennessee com l pany deserve the highest common dation for the training they are giv- ing to the future men and women of the Birmingham district. | It is said that George Gordon Crawford, president of the Tennes- see company, has two particular hobbies in the vast empire of oper- ations over which he is the director | one being the employees hospital and the other the schools And to both | these activities of his company he | has given a full measure of his in terest and talent. The sick are cared | for with the most minute attention | and throughout the company schools strong bodies and well trained minds and well rounded children are being developed.
