 Night.

 The committee on ordinances held a session and considered resolutions for several ordinances pending, including an ordinance concerning the employ ment of union workmen on public buildings, and an ordinance to provide that the opinions of the corporation counsel be compiled and published. The committee decided to recommend that committee be empowered to appoint a commission of three to compile the opn- ions and that the city clerk be instruct ed to have printed for distribution 800 copies of the compilation The commit tee also decided to recommend that the other proposed ordinances be continued for action by the next common council which goes into office next month
 The committee on bathhouses held conference with the board of health in relation to the establishment of public baths. Some time ago the common council passed a resolution providing that the committee act in conjunction with the board of health in establishing the baths. Some of the members of the health board are of the opinion that the appropriation made for the establish ment of baths, $100o0, is inadequate and that consequently nothing can be done. They also hold that since the appropria- ton was made for the board of health the committee has no authority to act with the board. It was decided last night to submit this question to the cor poration counsel for an opipion.

ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
Charged With Shooting Negro Preach.
 CT in a Church.

Henry Fletcher, a negro, was acquitted yesterday in the Criminal Court of a charge of murdering the Rev. Andy Me Ewin negro preacher.
 Melvin was shot dead in an Avondale church while delivering his Sunday nights sermon to a large congregation. As he was in the midst of his discourse shot was fired through a window and the preacher fell dead before the horri- fled congregation.
 Henry Fletcher was charged with the crime and arrested. During the trial the state tried to prove that Fletcher was seen a short distance from the church with a gun under his arm a short time before the shooting. The de- fendant however. proved an alibi, es- tablishslg the fact that he was at an other church attending services at the time of the murder.
 The state also sought to prove that Me Ewin had some previous trouble with Fletcher's brother. Albert Fletcher and Andrew Fletcher, brothers of the de- fendant, have been indicted for com plicity in the crime

KEEN COLLEGE MEN. The Food of Harvard Brain-Workers
 and Athletes.

Memorial Hall at Harvard where some twelve hundred of the men eat, is par ticularly interesting. The dining room is an enormous gothic hall finished in old English oak with wide, stained glass windows on the sides. The walls are hung with portraits of illustrious gradu- ates and benefactors of past genrations.
 The students have good food to eat and plenty of it. The hall Is run on a CO., operative plan so that it costs something less than four dollars a week for board. To this place three time a day come men, whose lives for the time being are given to serious intellectual work and to accomplish this, they are keen enough to realize that proper food is absolutely necessary.
 One is particularly struck by the vel low packages of Grape-Nuts standing on nearly every table, which the men purchase at grocery stores and bring in for their personal use. They quickly find out by practical demonstration that brain work exhausts the phosphates, and that nature demands that this loss be made up. and made up from food.
 Grape-Nuts Is ready to be used with out cooking, 1t is a scientific food which nourishes and builds up the brain, and is particularly suited to the needs of stu dents. .sf
 The Varsity athletes also eat 1t to keen their digestive organs in perfect working order so that they can stand the great strain of both body and head-work when important contests shall come.

President Jemson Asks That 99 Year Proposition be
 Withdrawn Rather Than Passed Under Protest

tion, and a petition signed by over 600 people, and you can't beat it."
 A sharp colloquy then ensued between Colonel Altman and MT. Tanner as tc haranguing and getting cheers from the crowd.
 Continuing his argument, MT. Tanner said if he could not produce twice as many men against the franchise as there were for it, he would withdraw his pro- test on the same basis, he said, if ma jority were against the proposition MT. Jemison's friends ought to withdraw the petition as requested. He said there was not a man who had approved 1t who did not have street car facilities. He farther argued that Birmingham could better do without the street car system than the street car system could do with out Birmingham. MT. Tanner said the ordinance in question did not say one word about operating the street car lines after they are built. He said they must be built in two years, but there was nothing said about the operation of them.
 This will tie up the city of Birming- ham for 99 years, and you get nothing that we now know of for it," exclaimed tho speaker.
 "Is it right to grant q 99-year fran chise7" asked MT. Tanner. when the constitution of Alabama stares you in the face with provision limiting public franchises to 30 years?"
 Answering himself, he said: "I do not believe you'll do it.
 Mir. Tanner then read from New York stI eet railway expert, and sought to show that the line to Ensley could be operated at profit with cent fares.
 MT. Tanner referred to the statement of MT. Cabaniss mace last week that many men went broke trying to build up the street ca. system.

 "T. T. Hillmar lost s1oO, O,OeO," responded Mir. Cabaniss.
 "Yes; but he's in that company now making money amawwmenI Igea,ecr |. making money" retorted MT. Tanner, "and has $20 for every one he lost. He's a 20 to 1 shot'
 Concluding. MT. Tsnner said he ob- jeoted to the entire request CT the thirty year franchise without the condition. and he hoped the council would not grant it. Workingmen Against 1t. MT. Waulhaus, representing the Trades Council, said that at a recent meeting representatives from thirty unions op- posed the franchise unanimously. He said the working men were not unfriend- ly to the street car company, but they opposed the city being tied up in such a manner without deriving any benefit. In conclusion he asked that no fran chise should be granted for over thirty years, and that 5-cent fares and transfers should be granted over all lines By way of parenthesis the speaker said he was in favor of municipal ownership. Judge Wilkinson then presented a pro- test against that part of the franchise covering a part of Fourteenth avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. He preferred for the line to TUT down Fifteenth avenue.
 Dr. Coulbourne then address the com. mittee and said he represented no organ (Continued on Page Eight
