Further Consideration of PropoS-
 ed Amendments
SCHEDULE FOR TONIGHT
Problem of a Plan of Public Improve ment May be Solved-Probable That an Agreement May
 be Reached.

An adjourned session of the conference between the Mayor and Aldermen and the citizens committee will be held tonight 10 further discuss and consider the proposed amendments to the city charter, especially in regard to public improvements.
 Several joint meetings have been held with good results, although no conclusion was reached. At the last meeting a plan, suggested by B, F. Moore, of the citizens committee, was favoraby discussed and, except from the fact that 1t was not thought that the bonds or securities under it would be salable, appeared to meet the requirements. It is probable that further suggestions along the same line will be made at tonight's meeting and that plan will be agreed upon.
 The Legislature meets in Montgomery to- morrow and it is the desire of the Mayor and the members of the board that the amendment be framed and presented as early as possible in order that it may be given consideration by the law makers.

Important Question to Come Up at
 Meeting of City Council.

An important matter will come up at the next regular meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, one that is of vital interest to the citizens of Birmingham. At the last meeting of the board proposition was submitted by the Southern Detective first street, looking to the establishment of a private night police patrol service with out cost to the city.
 The request is ito establish and maintain Patrol and to clothe the employees thereof in gray uniforms, with brass buttons and a badge bearing the words, Southern De- tective Agency's Night atrol,' and to arm and equip them each with revolver and cartridge belt, club and dark lantern or electric flashlght; that such employees be permitted to bear such arms while on duty during the night time, and to make arrests of all persons caught by them in the com mission of crimes, any one whom they have reasonable grounds to believe guilty of the commission of crimes and to turn such are sts over to the nearest police officer of the city,"
 The expenses of maintaining the service will be borne by the people living in the parts of the city thus protected. The man. ager of the proposed service states that twenty men can be employed here in this way.

PIE AND H.ADES. Change of Food Brings Health and Bril-

 When the human body is furnished with food which satisfies it's demands, the de- sire for unnatural food, such as an excess of sweets, pie, cake, and all sorts of un- wise preparations, disappears. A Califor- nia woman's experience on food is valua- ble.
 She says: 'I have for years been ad- dicted to meat particularly pork pie, hot biscuits, griddle-cakes, etc. Have been in i'll health for the past twelve years and un- der the treatment of a number of doctors.

Another Account of the BIoss-
 burg Tragedy
DEAD MAN WANTED CREDIT
s. c. Shugart Who Was Present Gives Statement of an Eye-Witness-Mc- Ribbons Still Alive But Has
 Little Chance to Recover.

S. c. shugart, son of John T. Shugart the lawyer, attended the Bobby Burns celebration at Blossburg Friday night at which the shooting affray occurred that re- suited in the death of Wofford Rich and the serious wounding of J. D. McKibbons He says that the row did not occur over nor that the name of any woman figured in it in any way.
 MT. Shugart stated to an Age-Herald re- porter last night that he did not see the fight, but that he had his information from eye witnesses, and that the row started over the refusal of Frank Byrum's brother Sam. to credit Rich for drink at a bar near the scene of the trouble
 It Is claimed that Rich went to the bar during the afternoon and asked for a drink, at the same time remarking that he did not have any money. According to MT Shugart's statement, Sam Byrum told Rich he could not credit him. Rich met Frank Byrum at the dance Friday night and made some remarks about the refusal of Sam Byrum to credit him. A quarrel en- sued and both men, so it is said, pulled their pistols, Byrum stating that he would kill Rich if he did not put up his gun, and that he would kill any man who pulled pistol Both pistols were thereupon concealed about the person of it's owner, but minute later, so MT. Shugart states, Rich pulled his pistol again, and then Byrum quickly drew his and began firing. MT. Shugart states that Byrum fired twice and Rich four times. Byrum escaped, and has not yet been arrested. Rich was killed instant ly and McKibbon dangerously wounded. He is now at the Copeland & Berry h. firmary, but the surgeons do not believe he has much chance to recover.

Prof Ezra Wyatt rendered a piano solo, after which Dr. Samuel Ullman addressed the council. He said that he was glad to be with the Trades Council on the occasion of the installation of its officers, and glad to know that labor organizations were not afraid to publish their purposes to the world. He said the last century made a wonderful impression on the world which was emphasized by great material prog ress, but that the twentieth century should emphasize the ethical, the moral and the religious development.
 He spoke of the great disparity in the increase of population in the United States ecompared with the increase in material

WARDEN FOR ABUSIVE LANGUAGE
TO MR.. TANNING

James ]. Hagan. Warden Of the Toubs prison,
was dismissed from his office yesterday for in
subordination. Called TO the Office Of the Com

himself from the Tombs pending investiga-
tion of the prison. ne hurled abusive language
at Deputy Commissioner Tanning, and declared
that he would refuse to leave the Tombs- Com
missioner Lantry then dismissed him from office
Eagan was in rage when he went to the
Office of Commissioner Lantry about 10 q m
He had been surprised by the appearance of
Warden Fallon OF the penitentiary with several
keepers at the Tombs. and had learned that Mr..
Fallon had been sent there TO take cnarge pend
ing an investigation Of the prison management
by Mr. Tanning. In the Office of Commissioner
Lantry there stormy scene after Hagan
arrived there. Hagan demanded the right to be
a. the investigation in the Tombs. Commits
sioner Lantry. in Mr.. Fanning's presence. said
he had authorized the investigation by Mr.. Fan
ming, and wanted Hagan TO absent himself for
few days while the investigation was in prog
ress Hagan raved and protested. Shaking his
finger at Mr.. Tanning he roared:
4 don't recognize his authority 1 protest
against having my reputation assailed by
coward and a sneak-a cowardly sneak-who is
looking out for himself. 1 am innocent and L
defy him I repeat what 1 said: he is unfair; he
is a coward 1 am not supplanted as Warden
of the Tombs. 1 in authority there. L have
rights and 1 going to stand UP for them 1
will be heard. 1 am not supplanted, no matter
what he says"
Mr.. Tanning said that Hagan had made him
self liable to dismissal by his language. and MI
Lantry said:
Warden Hagan, If there were not charges
against you which 1 want to give you an oppor-
tunity to defend, 1 would dismiss you
Il court dismissal" Hagan responded. He

If you make another assertion like that, you
will be dismissed
II am ready to accept dismissal
You dismissed" said Mr.. Lantry. You
are removed as Warden of the Tombs."
All right Hagan said. Then, making a
threa teung movement toward Mr. Tanning, he
said: L intendt to give vent to my feelings l

Commissioner Lantry obliged to threaten
Hagan with arrest to make him leave the office.
In the afternoon Hagan took his personal ef

claring that Mr.. Tanning had not heard the last
from him. Commissioner Lantry placed Mr..
Flynn, the principal keeper, in charge Of the
TOmbs acting warden. and Mr. FallOn and his
