ONLY THREE MONTHS MORE
AND THEN REX VULCAN III. WILL
 REIGN SUPREME.
Earnest and Active Work By the Commit tees Will Be Begun Tomorrow Night
 Electrical Parade R Novel Feature.

Only three cnonthS more and the car nival days will be here. This years cefe- brasion wdM. it Is thought. surpass those of former years. and the committees will begin active and systematic work. Yesterday morning President Emil Lesser sent out letters of notification to ttba different members of the committees for a Joint meeting in the parlors of the Commercial club tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. The meeting will be held for the purpose of discussing ways and cneans and plans for the approaching festival.
 '"The people have not yet fully grasped the idea of Mardi Gras," said Mir Lesser yesterday, "amd until they do the cele- brations cannot be what WE would like to have them. What is needed is @ pa- rade of sa tirical floats, and certainly Birmingham offers excellent opportuEh- ties for that kind of work"
 ''I would not be at, all surprised" he continued, eff something on this line were not attempted next year. Of course, I cannot speak authoritaGsvely, but 1t is my impression the same raging fad or the happenings of the pressnt time are not represented by floats in one of the parades.
 The commit tee on designs, with whom rests the floats and their subject mat ter, is composed of the following: Pres fdent Emil Lesser, chairman; Charks Wheelock, Erwin Schillinger, J. P. Mudd, J. B. CotIbs Jack w. Johnson, 10. J. MIG Crossin, Louis Braun. simon Kloaz and Nathan l.. Mill=r
 Among the many new things that will be presented for the cemsfd dsration or the committees on actual work, especially that on d,sstgn, VIII he the proposition for an electrical parade. The idsa IS 10 have cars built for that especial puspose and to make the entire circuit of the electric lfnes Besides being decided novelty great deal more territory can thus be covered.
 The cars will be built on the line of floats but devoted almost if not exclu- sively, to electricity. If the idea IS put into practice a decidedly novel parade will be the result. It proposed to nave this take the place of one of the regular night parades. It will be on Monday February 21.
 AS usual two days will be. devoted to pleasure. There will be two grand day parades and as many gorgeous night processions. with the accompanying glare of soft red light.
 MT. Lesser will again be found at the helm; B. Steiner treasurer; l.. B-aun, secretary, and E. J. McCrossin the grand marshal.
 In the near future the cltizsns will be call upon to assist the committees and should do so freely in order to facilNate matters as too much valuable time has already been lost.

THE DAlRYMEN GET HUFFY
STRONG, FUQUA AND CRESSWELL
 ASK SOME QUESTIONS.
Wanted to Know Why They Were Given Certificates if Their Premises Were Con
 sidered in Doubtful Condition.

Messrs l.. B. Strong, J. E. Fuqua and S. L. Creswell, the three dairymen who were particularly mentioned in the re- port of former Sanitary Officer Gresham of the dalrymen whom he had granted good certificates. which was published in the Age-Herald of Sunday, are anxious to know why MT. Gresham granted them certificates if he considered theifr dairies doubtful
 MT. CresweM was seen yesterday and to an Age-Herald reporter he said:
 "In the report of former Sanitary Of- ficer Gresham I notice that after giving the names of the dairymen to whom he granted good certificates, he says: "The last three named I am doubtful of their condition as I had considerable trouble in getting them to clean their premises .'
 Why did Gresham, a sworn officer, send us our certificates unsolicited if he considered us as doubtful Neither eff us ever asked him for certificate and to our knowledge he was never at cur barns but once and then asked US to put in plank drains to the alley from our barns which we did the next day. If Gresham has ever been there since, none of us knew of it..
 We would also like to kr1-w why Mr. Gresham did not inspect the premises of R. b. Black, which are no; a hundred yards from our plactIs and in plain vlaw on the pike road while we are situated off to one side.
 We are three hard wa1rkng men, earn ing an honest living and we would like to know why we are considered doubtful if we hold good certificates
 General Thomas has inspected our premises, but has made no report.

on facts, and the Age-Herald with hun dreds of others maintain that they are, steps will be taken to have the charter forfeited, and the era of cheaper gas will have dawned.
 The city fathers, expressions from whom have been published in The Age Herald showing them to be almost a unit on the gas question, have decided to take the matter in hand.
 The clamor for dollar gas is being heard and is nearing it. 's
 A committee will probably be appoint ed to thoroughly sift all the complaints. The charge that the company IS fa- grantly violating its contract will re- ceive close attention. The contract made with the city fixes the maximum rate at $1.4S per thousand. The company's bills specify s1.65 per thousand, wibhT a 10 per cent rebate for prompt pawn snt.

SENT TWO SHOTS.
Deputy Sheriff Sullivan Shoots at Lem Clayton
 Who Had Escaped from Him.

Late yesterday afternoon Deputy Sher- if A. J. Sullivan shot and wounded a negro named Lem Clayton who had es- capped from him at the TwentieIlh strset crossing, near the depot.
 Deputy Sullivan was standing on fhe crossing waiting for a traln to pass and noticed @ negro man, a negro woman and a little negro girl walking rapidly towards First avenue. The girl was crying, which attracted his attention. In a casual way he inquired what was the matter and was told by some negroes that came up that the man had attempt ed to assault the girl in the rear of a barber shop on the Southsfde.
 In few moments the man returned and was placed under arrest by Deputy Sullivan, who started with his prisoner towards the jail. About this time an- other train came along and the officer was compelled to wait until 1t passed. While standing in middle of the cross- ing the negro made bold break for lib- erty and succeeded in getting loose from Sullivan and started up the tracks. Dep- uty Sullivan pulled his pistol and sent two shots after the fleeing negro, who escaped behind the cars.
 It was reported later by another negro that Clayton had been wounded, and was hiding out
 Deputy Sullivan started out last night to look for him but at a late flour had not succeeded in apprehendmg the negro.
 A description of Clayton was sent to police headquarters and the officers are on the lookout for him. Clayton once lived in Bessemer and 1t fig thought that he may head for that place.

 The members of the board Of aldermen are conscientious in their belief that they are to represent the people; secure for them the best at hand. W4th this idea in mind they will leave no stone un- turned to secure as the public demands, dollar gas.
 Coal Tar a Source of Revenue.
 In computing the profits of the gas barons the item of coal talr as a source of revenue must not be overlooked. As a matter of fact the entire output of the Birmingham gas plant is consumed at home
 The output per day is estimated at be- tween five and six barrels. They weigh about 525 pounds each, total of nearly 5000 pounds.
 The tar ds, in course of its conversion, drained or placed in a we'll. When it is sold it is still in that place, and the pug chaser must take it, barrel and load it.
 When it is barreled the entire weighls is 525 pounds. This is sold for $S.50! Necessarily, the income from coal tar alone is $17.5O per day.
 Each barrel costs the purchaser 20 cents additional to cart it away. Thus it is easily seen that he pays not less than $375 per barnel. Sometimes it is more.
 The gentlemen who uses the entire out put was rather reticent concerning the matter. He refused to divulgie the infor- nation as to how much coal tar can be manufactured from a ton of coal. He

sad he not only used the Birmingham companys entire output but was com pelled to send out of the city in order to secure enough for h.s own needs.
