THE INVESTIGATION
 BEGUN LAST NIGHT
Formal Charges Are Preferred
 Against Fire Chief MuIIin.
ONE WITNESS EXAMINED
Former Mayor Fox Testified That Per mission Was Granted Chiefto Dis pose of Old Apparatus-Ad-
 journment Until Tonight

The City Council held short executive session last night for the purpose of be- ginning an investigation of the adminis- trstion of the fire department by Chief Thad Mulln.
 City Attorney Robert J. Lowe was pres- ent to represent the city and Captain Frank s. White appeared as the representative of Chief Mullln.
 The board did not go into the investiga- ton last night but on account of business that will call one of the witnesses of the accused away from the city, Captain White was given permission to examine that par ticular witness.
 The chief claims that he can show where every cent of money he has ever received as the head of the fire department went and his authority for expending it.
 When the roll had been called motion to go into executive session prevailed and as soon as the hall had been cleared of specta- tors the formal charges were preferred
 Former Mayor David S. Fox was called , by the defense and stated that when he was Mayor he authorized Chief Mullin 10 sell discarded apparatus and to expend the money received for same in the pur- chase of needed material and apparatus. He stated that he also authorized the chief to swap horses where he found it advisable and when necessary to pay a difference, to use whatever funds he might have on hand in so doing.
 Chief Mullin says he has had similar au- thority hrom other Mayors, and that all the money that has come into his hands has been so expended
 After hearing the testimony of Mir. Fox the board adjourned until 7:30 o'clock to- night, when an open session will be held
 Chief Mullin asked that the nvestigation be held in open session.

DAINTY PINAFORE

Pinafore is dainty. While its music Is catchy and light, it is absolutely correct from a musical viewpoint, and as such is appreciated by music lovers All of Gilbe Tt and Sullivan's music is on this style, and this is what makes them the most popu- lar of all comic opera composers. That Bir- mingham loves their music Is evidenced by the splendid audiences that nave crowded Lakeview-as full As. comfort would allow all last week for Mikado and this week for Pinafore.

DECISION IS RENDERED
Depot Property is Subject to County
 Taxation

The County Board of Revenue yesterday Rendered its decision in the matter of tax Ing the Union Passenger Station in this eity. As stated In The Age-H Herald yester- day Tax Commissioner Wetmore reported fhe passenger station for taxation, fixing It's value at $SOOOO. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company, owner of the building, contested the assessment on the ground that 1t was included In the State Board of Appraisers and was, therefore, mot subject to separate taxation by the county.
 The Board of Revenue holds that the point made by the railroad company is well taken and approved the assessment re- Turned by the tax commissioner. In an- bouncing their decision the board stated that the passenger station was used for other than depot purposes and that por- tions of it were rented out, and, therefore, It was not included In the State appraise- ment
 The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court.

To the Editor of the Age-H Herald.
 A special from the State University in last Tuesdays issue of the Age-Herald again sets forth the claim that MT. Pope E. Smith of the said university won the medal for being the best debater in the intercollegiate oratorical contest of the Talladega Chautauqua this summer. I do not know why this error should continue to be published in the State press. I cor rected it once. and MT. Smith wrote to express his approval of the correction. He made good speech, so did the represen- tatives of the Auburn College and the Southern University. It was an excellent discussion of the dispensary question, and we who heard it felt an honest pride in all the debaters. The first honors and first medal, however, were awarded to MT. F. H. Watkins of Howard College. The sec- ond medal was awarded to MT. Smith, MT. Watkins colleague. I regret to have to make this second correction. But honor to whom honor is due. F. M. ROOF.

pr. o. r Dozier of this city supreme commander of the Regents of the White Shield, has addressed the following letter to Miss Lillian Jewett of Boston. who headed the mass meeting of Boston nc groes few nights ago, and declared war on the southern, whites, growing out of the recent race trouble in New Orleans. Commander Dozier's letter is as fol- lows:
 Birmingham, Aug. S. 19QO Miss Lillian Jewett, Boston, Mass.
 Having learned from the press reports of your desire and intention to visit New Orleans with band of negro crusaders to punish the executioners of the negro iend, Robert Charles, and to wage war on southern whites it gives mo pleasure to inform you that the Regents of the White Shield is very substantial body of organized patriots, who are ready to re- ceive you and your Ethiopian escort, and To extend such other service would be appropriate in giving expression of our contempt for one with a white skin and black heart, and at the same time to add another hue of darker shade to that or hades. So come on, fair Joan of Are" and don't be too modest about the num- Der of black crusaders you bring with you; ten thousand is not enough to tax our hospitality in furnishing sleeping ac- commodations in our potter fields.
 Tn conclusion let me state that as we raise large crops of cotton in this sec- tion, that we have an abundant supply of rope on hand for every emergency, and we'll know when and how to use it.
 Yours sincerely,

 Supreme Commander R. ". S." The Regents of the White Shield is a patriotic and phlanthropic organization with white supremacy" as its main plat form, and among it's leading members and officers are a number of prominent north ern men; who served in the union army.
