MAY 60 TO COURT
 TO PRESERVE PARK
RESIDENTS OF NORTH BlRMINc. s. HAM INDIGNANT AT DESTRUC-
 TON OF TREES TO OPEN A
 STREET-TALK OF INJUNCTION

The trees-some of them magnificent oaks-have been cut down preparatory to the opening of a street in North Bir- mingham Park immediately east of the grounds of the Country Club. and lead ing up to the top of the hill to the north ward, where a street running at right angles along the crest of the hill is being opened The trees have been cut down for another street immediately west of the Country Club grounds
 The work of tree destruction east of the Country Club grounds and the threatened destruction of the beautiful North Br- mingham Park has stirred up residents in the neighborhood and members of the Country Club as well, and it was said yesterday that the courts would be ap- piled to for an injunction perpetually re- straining any person or corporation from injuring or destroying the natural beauty of the park by the opening of streets building of houses or otherwise. The ground was originally set apart for a public park 1t is said and no company or individual can wholly or in part inter fere by street-opening, house-building or otherwise with the public enjoyment of the park. It was said yesterday that the courts would be appealed to instantly.
 The celebrated case of the Avondale park, has been cited by persons who re- sent the threatened destruction of North Birmingham Park. The Avondale Park was marked on the maps of the individu- als or company originally owning the land as a public park. Afterwards 1t was -soughtsto cut up the park by streets and sell the land for building sites; but the law was appealed to and an injunction was readily obtained. The persons inter- ested in destroying the park appealed the case to the Supreme Court This tribunal sustained the decision of the lower court, and Avondale Park will remain public property in perpetuty.
 It is held that any citizen can obtain an injunction to r-event the destruction of any public park.

BIRMlNGHAM'S GROWTH
 IN ONE SHORT YEAR
Joseph Bryan of Richmond, Who Has Large Holdings Here, Dis
 cusses Conditions.

Joseph Bryan of Richmond, 0 director in the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com pany, who stopped in Birmingham last Wednesday on his way home from Cali fornia, spent Friday and Saturday in the Sheffield section looking over some of the company's property and returned here yesterday. He will probably be in the city until tomorrow.
 No man not a resident of Birmingham Is better known in this district than MT. Bryan. He invested large capital here early in the eighties and was therefore a pioneer in the development of the place. He was an enthusiastic believer from the start in the future greatness of the dis trict; and even in the year of depression he was one of those who never lost faith
 Tt had been over year since visited Birmingham said MT. Bryan last night. land I am glad to see that 1t has been going ahead with rapid strides. Its pro- gress has been wonderful but no more than might have been predicted.
 T did not find any section out West that could begin to compare with the Birmingham district. There is no keep ing Birmingham back and before the next census this win be great big city. Peo- pie who live here do not seem to realize how fast the city Is growing. But those who come this way only once a year must certainly take 1t in and marvel"
 MT. Bryan was at the head of the Rich- mond Locomotive Works and was one of it's largest stockholders until recently when the company sold out to the trust. He said he bought large quantities of steel made at the Ensley plant and gladly testified to it's fine quality. There was no better steel turned out in the United States, he thought than that made at Ensley. At first 1t was not quite uniform, he said, but that trouble was remedied just as soon as those in charge gained a little exDerience rN

SAYS HE WILL LIVE.
Mir. Vaughan Declares He Is Doing
 Nicely-Pulse Steadier.

Say that I am doing all right and am going to get well" was a message sent by Hon. William Vaughan to the Age Herald yesterday.
 The bearer of the message was MT. An- derson, MT. Vaughans brother-in-law, and he said MT. Vaughan was in the best of good spirits and was doing as we'll as could be expected in a case of pneumonia.
 It was learned subsequently, that there had been no material change in Mr. vaughans condition-no decided change was expected so soon-but his tempera- ture went below hundred and his pulse rose and became steadier. Night before last the patient was very Ill. and 1t was said to be possible that he then passed through the crisis, which was not looked for until during last night or this morn ing

WILL PROBABLY GO
 OVER B. &V. ROUTE
MUCH INTEREST BEING TAKEN
 HERE IN NEW RAlLROAD-SUR- vEY COMPLETED BETWEEN
 VIcks5uRG AND TUSCALOOSA.

Birmingham Is already a railroad cen tre, but there is room for more lines. Business men are naturally interested therefore in the perfected road from Vicksburg to this city by the way of Tuscaloosa, known as the Birmingham and Vicksburg Railroad
 The joint committee of the Commercial Club, the Board of Trade, the Wholesale mems Association which has the Bir- mingham end of the scheme under con- sideration, has held one or two meetings and 1t Is probable that a subcommittee will shortly go over that part of the route between this city and Tuscaloosa in or der to get a clear idea of the county and it's resources.
 John L. Parker, a member of the Joint committee, said yesterday that the Bir- mingham and Vicksburg line seemed to be very feasible. The survey had been completed, he said, between vicksburg and Tuscaloosa and it was now up to the people of Birmingham to say whether or not the survey shall be continued to this point. This worh-a survey from Tusca- loosa would cost about s5OOO
 MT. Parker thought the money would be raised just so soon as the bona fide character of the company could be es- tablished. The committee has no doubt whatever of the integrity of the pro- motors, but 1t intends to make an inves- tigation so as to bring the project clearly before the public.
 The new railroad would traverse rich section and would be a paying property almost from the start.

Members of the police department have been instructed to make war on that class of individuals who persist in carrying con cealed weapons. Hardly a day passes without some one being arraigned in the Inferior Criminal Court for this offense.
 Judge Feagin of the Inferior Court, in discussing the matter. said that in his opinion if a heavy fine was im- posed and collected the evil would soon be abated. He continued;
 Carrying concealed weapons Is the greatest evil we have in Birmingham, where there is so much drinking and carousing, causing more bloodshed than anything else. = If the law Is rigidly en- forced and the fine of s1OO Is strictly im- posed and collected the evil will unques- tionably be abated.

 Richardson Under Arrest.
 Shortly after the tragedy Policeman Richardson was taken to the office of the Chief of Police and arrested on warrant sworn out by Desk Sergeant Chambers charging him with manslaughter. The officers bond was fixed at $500 and was signed by M. P. Messef and Dr. w. II. Wilder. After signing the bond Richard son was relieved of duty and went to his home. He expressed great regret and said he thought the men were burglars and were about to escape or he would not have fired.
 The back doors of the establishment where the policeman said the burglary was attempted were examined but noth- ing was found to indicate an attempt to break them in, or tamper with the locks. No holes or fresh scratches could be seen. The first shot fired by Richardson went across Nineteenth street and struck a brick near the front of the Calhoun Jew elry Company's establishment. Coroner Paris viewed the remains of the dead boy last night and will hold an investigation this morning.

jackson and the TaiIor's Bill.

A gentleman in Pennsylvania has a
queer document which came into his
family's possession many years ago
and shows an interesting phase of An
drew JackSOn's character as well as a
glimpse Of the simple times of his pres
idential term.
1t appears that 4 clerk in the state
department contracted a tailor's bill for
$G4.0O, and the tailor, finding himself
unable to collect the amount, laid the
matter before the president in an ap-
pealing letter
jackson promptly decided that this
was a matter to which he must attend
personally, so he transmitted the tai
lor's letter to the secretary Of state,
with this strong recommendation:
Referred to the secretary of state. If on inquiry
the fact stated be true unless the clerk pays up
his debt let him be forthwith discharged.
The government would become a party to such
swindling provided it permitted its officers to be-
come indebted for necessaries and not see that
they paid their debts out of their salaries.
Honest men will pay their debts Dishonest
men must not be employed by the government.
