(Advt) HENRY GRAY A WINNER
The Race for County Treasurership
 Practically Won

In summing up the result of the election tomorrow there is one man who is conced- ed by all to be a winner, and that is Henry Gray for county treasurer.
 A well known politician who hae been in every beat in the county said yesterday that in his opinion MT. Gray would carry nine-tenths of the beats in the entire coun- ty, and would lead the ticket of the can didates for office who had opposition
 MT. Gray's candidacy from the hegin- ming has been based upon his qualification for the office. As he says himself, if he is not the best fitted and qualified man in the race he does not want the office. He has made a success of his business, and is, therefore, the better qualified to take charge of the responsible position of coun- ty treasurer
 A futile attempt has been made to array the labor class against MT. Gray because he was banker, but his acdlaintance throughout the county with the laboring class, many hundreds of them having en- trusted their savings to his care, has made 1t impossible to do such a thing. In fact instead of being against him they are for him almost to a man, as every working mems political organization has endorsed him. Another thing which has helped Mr. Gray is that in face of strong opposition in the board of alder men he succeeded in reducing the street tax to $2, a thing every laboring man in the city desired.
 In fact, with the business men, with the laboripg people and with the farmers, Mr. Gray is equally strong, and will be Jeffer- son county's next treasurer, and he will make a good one. +s+

PROHIBITION
For Seventy HoursThe Saloons
 Must Close

Under the provisions of the state and city laws Birmingham will for a period of seventy-seven hours, beginning last night at 12 o'clock, and ending Monday morning at 5 o'clock, experience prohbi- ton in so far as the liquor traffic is con- cerned. This long period of total ab- stinence," provided you did not provide yourself with a plentiful supply, is due to combination of circumstances and of law The last legislature which enacted law regulating primary elections, in- cluded among other provisions a clause making it unlawful to sell or give away liquor during the day on which the elec- tion is held on the day previous. This of course means that the saloons must close today and tomorrow, which brings them face to face with the Sunday law until 12 p. m. Sunday night, when the city law gets in its work for five hours ad ditional.

BASE OF OPERATIONS.
Allies Will Probably Use Yang-Tsun
When 1t Is Captured.

WASHINGTON. Aug. THE information
which came to-day that American troops
were engaged in the battle at Pei-Tsang
established positively for the first time
that, notwithstanding the difficulties which
General Chaffee had encountered in debark-
ing troops and supplies, at least part and
considerable part of our force was in the
vanguard of the forward movement. Gen.
eral Chaffee's dispatch 10 the War Depart
ment conveyed the most satisfactory evil
dences that the commanders had thorough
ly agreed. in advance, upon plan of action
and that there is every indication that this
plan had been followed. as General Chaffee
on Friday sent the cable saying that the
attack on the Chinese at Pie-Tsang would
be made on Sunday, the day when Admiral
Remey and the press correspondents say
the fighting occurred. General Chaffee's
announcement that the present objective of
the international column is Yang-Tsun. is
interpreted by the officials at the War De-
partment to mean that this point, where
river, railroad and wagon road meet, is
to be made the advance base for the opera
tions on Peking
The most positive addition to the news
of the day was the brief line from the AS
sociated Press correspondent at Tien-Tsin
stating that the Ninth and Fourteenth In
fantry. Reilly's battery and the marines
were in the battle of Pei-Tsang 1t was
this force which, with the British and jap
anese. bore the brunt of the attack on the
left flank, which was TO turn the enemy's
position. This plan had already been made
clear by General Chaffees Dispatch al
though he did not mention what American
troops would be engaged.
In view of the participation of the Ameri-
can troops, the War and Navy Depart
ments are anxiously expectant of a report
of the part taken by our troops and of any
losses which the Americans may have sus-
tanned. No light has yet been thrown
upon the subject of whether the COM
manders of the international forces
have agreed upon a commander
The Chaffee dispatch would seem to
indicate that none had been agreed
upon. The movement was planned evil
IDENTIFY by the commanders in conference
and the part each command was to play
agreed upon in advance. 1t is perhaps
noteworthy and significant that in this
plan of attack upon the enemy at Pei
Tsang the American, British and Japanese
were joined in the movement to turn the
enemys flank, while the Russians and
French operated together on the opposite
side OF the river against the enemy's left.
This may indicate the line of cleavage
among the allies. whose general dissensions
were reported at Tien-Tsin. 1t is also
exceedingly significant that General Chat
fee does not mention the German force at
all. The War Department officials do not
believe that this could have been due 10
an oversight on his part If it was arranged
that they were to participate in the move
ment. IL, therefore. seems likely that the
Germans were not engaged at Pei-Tsanr
l; is thought possible that they may be
acting Independently.
