THAT POWERS INTERVIEW.
The Able Professor Brought His Views to
 the Age-Her Office.

The AgeIHerald printed "Wednesday morning an interview with President James K. Powers of the State university in regard to the uncomfortable quaran- tine quarters provided by Montgomor ry at JaclSson Lake.
 A Montgomery newspaper attempted yesterday to refu,e the statements made by President Powers, and published a telegram from him saying the interview was not for publication, and was inac- curate in important particulars.
 MT. Powers made the statement in the editorial rooms of The Age+Herald. Fur ther, he made it in the pres snce of three gentlemen, two of whom are regularly connected with this paper and the her ds not. All three of these gentleman are perfectly willing to Gnake affidav as to the correctness of the interview. Wiheither these statements were true, of course, no one only those who have vis- tied Montgomery are qualified ito say. But MT. Powers is considered a rsspon- sible man. He said he had visited Mont gomery and he voluntarily gave the in- formation without any solic lat on from any one connected with ths paper. He did not request that it be not printed, and any informa tion brought a news paper office. unless otherwise specified, can legrfmately be printed

NEW WATER WORKS co,
THE NEW DEAL IS CREATING COM.
 MENT.
Caldwell Bradshaw Says Artesian Water VIII Certainly be Brought to Birmingham,
 and the Time Will Not be Long.

The Age-Herald's exclusive account of the organization, in yesterdays issue, created much comment.
 The story of the deal had been very carefully guarded by it's promoters, and as yet they will not give out the names of the TWO northern capitalists who will become members of the directory.
 Caldwell Bradshaw was seen yester- day, and in response to a reques. for the names of his western associates, said: T regret that for business rea- sona l cannot give ,lhe names of the gentlemen to the public just yet. I was very much surprised when read the &C., count of our deal in this mornings paper. The story, as published. is cor rect, and am at a loss to knew how you obtained such a complste report. Buj you may feel assured that we will bring our antesian water into Bilming- ham. At just what date, I am unable to say at present, but it wll not be a great while"
 When the matter was preached to Mayor Evans his mind was occupied with questions regarding the city's finances, and he laconically replied Glad of l.. More taxes and license money for the city. Good thing; push it along"

HOT, VERY HOT.
Thermometer of the Official Weather Man
 Marked i01 Yesterday.

"Hot, did you say?" said the chronic nurmurer. "Well, I should say"
 These were ,he words heard yesterday a1kernoot2 just about the time the mer- oury was boTbbing around the century mark. The conversation was being car- aEed on between two old residenters. Just then the bulb danced up to 1O1 and the old man addressed wiped the warm beads frl,rn his brow and said: "Well, ttis beats all I ever saw at this time Of the year."
 Yes, the day w'as a seorcher, and, Ike an old maid, was chang sable to mark ed degree. At 8 a. m. the mark was S6; at 'noon 94; at 1:30 D. m., 1O1; and at D. m, S9. The highest point reached was 101, the ofweti. 69, the average being S5 degrees.
 On such day as yesterday did Henry M. Stanley find Livingston in burning Africa. And on yesterday the average citizen of Birmingham imagined he saw Stanley just little way up the street wipirg tine sweat off with horse blan- ket and swearing at the camel drivers On such days as yesterday the hog hunts the coolest mud puddle and the ten csnt dudehunts the soda fountain It was so hot yesterday that Dr. Mos ly, the republican leader, fell off tsn pounds ard his co-worker, pr. A. J. Warner per spired so freely that his white shirt was dyed a Nubian hue. Mayor Evans w.nt out and held an umbrella over the fire ball to keep it from melting. He said that it had provided the people with so many rings that he would alate to see it ruined.
 When the thermometer was at 101 Pa- trolman Rollo leaned against a lamp post and when it suddenly fell to 69 he attempted to move and found himself congealed to the post. Ben Theiss be- came mired up in the asphalt around the opera house, which had become soft ened by the suns rays, and was with much difficulty removed.

HOW ABOUT THE CHURCHES
THEY ARE DEEPLY IN DEBT TO THE
 CITY.
Mayor Evans Is Having Statement Made, and Will Confer With the Officers
 The Preachers Talk.

Something like $2,5OO is due the city from i5ha various churches. These claims are due mainly for curbing put down and paid for by the city around church propenty.
 Mayor Evans has instructed Treasurer George Eustis to prepare list of the amounts due from the churches and he will appoint a committee to confer with the officers of the churches when the list is prepared and report back to the board the result of their investiga lions.
 The Esit which is to be prepared by Treasurer Eustis VIII not be complete for week yet. but the following is a list of the largest church deb.ors:
 The Methodist EriEcopal church, $627. Nine executions have been issued.
 F'fflst Presbyterian church, $257. Ex- ecutfon issued.
 Episcopal church, $25S Four execu- tiona
 Jewish synagogue $122.
 South Slide Baptist, $59.
 Catholic, $5S.
 St. Faul, s.
 St. Paul, M. D., $24.
 A. M. E.. $19.
 American Mission Ass1cial ion, $25.
 The ministers of the churches were not advised as to the status of the claims. Said Dr. D. B. Gray, pastor of the First Baptist: "Ihe claim will be a congre- gational matter. Personally, I know nothing of the merits Of this particular case, but speaking generally, I would say that whatever is fairly due the city by the churches ought to-be paid. Now. I don't want my statement to be mis- interpreted. I can conceive that there may be linlita ting conditions about the claim agairst our church, such as some past agreement or understanding with the city in regard to the claim that may play part in the adjustment How ever, as I stated, I am net advised as to the eXcct status of affairs. I merely offered 'the foregoing as conjecture. !"
 John G. Murray, rector of the Church of the Advent, could not say anything of his own knowledge in regard to the matter.
 Dr. G. c. Kelley, of the First Method ist church, had heard some mention made of city claims at the meetings of the officers of his church. T believe. though" said he, 'that the claim is against our property on Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street. don't recall any claims of that nature against our church building here on Nineteen h street and Sixth avenue"

 Not Largc-Many Members Added.

The names of this committee will be announced at the next meeting After an inspection of the membership roll the secretary announced that the club, though not yet having completed it's organization, had more than 200 mem bera A large number of applications for membership were handed in. and will be acted upon at the next meeting.

VICTORY FOR THE PLUMBERS.
Judge Feagln Decided the Case Against the
 City,

The plumbers scored victory yester- day morning in Judge Feagin's court
 Hereafter the plumbers will not be re- qulred to pay permit fees, but they wil be required to pay inspection fees.
 The plumbers took the matter of pay ing $25 permit fee for each job of work requiring the disturbance of the streets before Judge Feagin on a repre- sentation of alleged manifest injustice and hardship.
 In reference to his decision Judge Feagin said yesterday: q decided that the deposit fee of $25 was unreasonable in that the plumbers are required to furnish a bond of 1000 to the city That appeared to me to be sufficient protection to the city, and I could see mo necessity of exacting the additiona deposit fee of $25"
 Ben F. Barbour, one of the leading plumbers in speaking of Judge Feagin's s decision said:
 T think the judges decision was al right. You see we had the fight on for the landlodls and the victory Is more directly to their benefit than to the benefit of the plumber All that the plumbers now need is competent in- spector, and I think the board will allow us that in short time"
 J, G. Neal, another plumber, said: q am very glad that we got the decision If 1t had not been for the injustice of the old plan I would have been in favor of letting the fees stand as they were For instance, they would require me, a p.umber, to put up a $25 fee, while you as citizen, could go along and dig up the streets without paying a fee."
 No Disregard of hiss;als,
 J. R. Pitts, the young man who was arrested for violating or disregarding the signals at the railroad crossing, was discharged in the inferior criminal court yesterday morning. He was injured at the time. it is said, that he refused to recognize the danger signal. J. H. Brit ton, the prosecutor. was taxed with the costs and ordered arrested.
