NAVY OFFICERS DISSATISFIED
Do Not Like the New Law-ForU an
Organization TO influence Legis-
lntIon In the Next COnEress.

The retired officers of the navy have
formed themselves into an organization
for the purpose of influencing legisla-
ton at the next session of congress.
Prominent officers who are no longer
on the active list feel that there is un-
Just discrimination against them in the
provisions of the naval personnel law,
which does not increase their pay, while
It makes material changes for the bet
ter in the compensation of all other of
ficers. Officers who have retired since
the law went into effect secure larger
pay than those who were retired prior
to July 1.
1t is proposed to have the pay tables
so adjusted that all officers of the navy
now on the retired list will receive the
pay authorized under the present law.
The retired officers who are interested
in this effort claim that they under
stood from Senator Chandler that such
a provision would be made in the law,
but this was not done. The officers on
the active list will also make an effort
to have the law changed.
The act provides for a reduction of IS
per cent in the salary of officers on
shore duty and most of those concerned
feel that If the naval pay tables are to
be arranged to correspond with the
army salary list there should be no de-
crease in the compensation of officers
stationed on shore. No such reduction
In pay is made in the case of any army
officer, no matter what may be the duty
to which he is assigned. The law is de-
fectiye in other respects, and il is likely
that the whole question of naval per-
sonnsl willbe opened next winter.

Painting, sIsetchinr and Sculpture
Classes in Sing Sing Prison
Have Been Abolished.

Warden johnson, of Sing Sing IN.
" prison, has aimed hard blow at
art and hit it. lie has abolished the
painting, sketching and sculpture
classes which Warden Sage formed in
the institution, and will send the art
class into the stone smashing depart
ment and set them to work digging q
trench for a new sewer that he has
designed. "The are class was waste
of money" he said. at involved big
bill for paints and material, and it
made loafers of lot of men who might
have been doing something useful in
the shoe shop"
The new rule goes into effect at once.
The striped artists will not even be
able to finish the busts and oil paintings
on which they are engaged. They are
angry.
Warden johnson says that under the
law he is bound to see that the prison
ers are put at hard labor. He does not
think it is hard labor for them to wan.
der around the charmingly laid out
grounds of the prison with "A camp
stool and an easel, looking for some
thing to sketch and talking to each
other about technique" or middle
distances" which, for all the warden
knows, may be things that men drill
their way out of prison with.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-The Sham
rock, the British yacht that is to COM
pete for the American cup, arrived at
New York Friday. After the yachts
had anchored in the upper bay Capt
Archie Hogarth, of the Shamrock,
said: "The Shamrock behaved beauti-
fully. am more than satisfied with
her. In fact, am delighted, because
my most sanguine anticipations have
been more than realized. But / will
say this, that gleeful as am with the
behavior of the boat, was more sur
prised with the generous reception
which she got from the time that we
were abreast of Sandy Hook"

RAN UP
 TO 9i YESTERDAY
It Was the Hottest Day Save One in July The Atmosphere Was
 Heavy.

On the first day of August the lowest temperature registered in Birmingham was 70 degrees; the highest, 91. At : p. m the record was SC.
 August the record was, lowest A; high est 90. At D. m.. S2. August 3, lowest, 76; highest, 90 At p. m., S3.
 August f. the lowest was 75; highest, 91. At ' p. m., S4. The wind was from the south, and the weather clear.
 This report is furnished by Acting Weather Clerk Bob Jacobs It is official: but it is as bare to the bone as poverty. It gives but a slight idea of the sure enough weather that has prevailed in Jones Valley.
 Yesterday morning from to ' o'clock people felt that a sub-arctic breeze was sweeping through the valley, yet it was cool only by contrast. The wind was won- derfully refreshing, but it didn't bring the temperature below 75, which, in the early morning, is extremely facilitating in its ultimate effects By 10 o'clock the breeze staff hung motionless; the leaves on the trees did not stir. The atmosphere was as still as death and oppressive as Sahara.
 Reference to the official record shows that during this week the temperature has not risen above 91. It shows also that it has not fallen below 91. The maximum is comparatively low, and the minimum not killing; but the. density. the humidity, of the atmosphere has been frightful. It has simply taken the life out of men and beasts and it is doubtful if there remains in Bir- mingham a man with the energy left to do what he wishes to do, if his wishes lead to exertion.
 It rains every day-not prolonged or drizzy rain, but frequent showers when the raindrops seem to be as large as par fridge eggs. Thus the atmosphere is charged with degree of dampness not uual here in hot weather. This sets every body of animal life a-sweltering. Last Saturday was probably the most oppres- sive day experienced here since Birming ham became Birmingham. And the days since then have been in small degree less abominablc. They haven't been better; they have been merely less bad. What to- day may be, even Bob Jacobs couldn't tell but there is one comfort: this Saturday can't be worse than last Saturday, and it is very improbable that 1t will be any worse than the worst day of the past week.
 This district is having large weather There is no questioning of that fact. Mo- body has died of sunstroke yet; but lots of folks have almost wished they could die of something. It is high time, accord ing to the calendar, that cool nights should come; but they haven't come yet Friday night, the least oppressive of all nights for over two months showed up with mini mum temperature of 75. Bah! It Is fright full.

road men present said that they had never before seen a coupler work so smoothly. either on test or in practical use. Among those present at the test yesterday were Master Mechanic Cox and Master Car Builder Donohue of the Alabama Great Southern, besides officials of other lines
 There are number of white men asso.a ciated with Beard-C. s. Drumbellar R. II Prichard, J. H. Prichard, Fred Brucker, Stephen w. Beasley-who arc furnishing him with part of his money and in other ways assisting him in making his tests and bringing his invention before the railroad world, and the test yesterday was as much for their qualification as for the railroad men present. They were satisfied and one of their number will leave at once for Pitts burg where a number of the coupiers will be made of steel. Birmingham is not quite, ready to do this kind of work.
 Permission will be obtained from the Pennsylvania railroad to equip ten or fifteen passenger coaches now in use on tht, road with the Beard coupler. and they will be given thorough. practical tast.s- The Pennsylvania system has the repItat.oa of being one of tho most p-ogrc ssivc roads in the country in the use Of " inventions and everything they do Is carefully watched by the other roads in the country The friends of tie Beard coupler are sure of its eventual success.
