He had number up before him yes- terday morning and afternoon, and gave them fair warning that they must leave Birmingham within a few hours, and if they were not gone he promised that the police docket would have a large number of street speeers' names on 1t today. Most of them had some excuse to offer, some protested their innocence. but still others took the matter like philosophers and promised to leave town.
 Chief Austin has made request of the mayor that he stop the issuing of licenses to them. He says the licenses only serve to protect the criminals to a large de- gree, and that it makes 1t much harder on the police to catch them.
 Another feature of the trouble these people cause is the amount of room they take up on the pavements during this, the busiest time of the year.

Would Form State Association to Aid in Catching
 Criminals
DATE SET IS JANUARY 15
Plan Is to Also Form Southern Asso- clation With All Cities Mem
 bers-To Get Bertlllon
 Identification System.

An invitation to all the chiefs of police and marshals of Alabama has been issued by Chief of police Austin to meet in Birmingham on January IS. 1902. to organ ize a Chief of Police's Association in the state of Alabama. For some time Chief Austin has had this idea in view and has been working toward 1t, but yesterday for the first time he made public the day of the meeting
 The object of the meeting is to perfect a system of Identification and capture of criminals such as many of the northern states and some of the southern states have. There are about 200 chiefs of po- lice and marshals in Alabama, and the invitation Is issued to every one of them. The desire of Chief Austin Is to get representative from every force in the state, and then to have the system of Identification so perfected that it will be almost impossible for criminals to es- care.
 For Good of State.
 To work together for the good of the community and incidentally for the good of the entire state is the motto of the proposed association, and when 1t is com pleted and in working order these in- terested in 1t believe that the increase in the number of criminals caught will be wonderful,
 After the state organization Is complet- ed, Chief Austin will recommend that the association send cut an invitation to representatives from the state organiza- tions of other states that they meet in a southern convention and arrange all the southern states in an association such as there is in the north, and finally the recommendation will be that all the southern chiefs of police enter the na- tional association.
 To Put in Bureaus.
 The plan is to get the bureau of identi- f1cation to put in a branch office in every city in the south. and that the chief of police or msrshal be the head of the bureau in his city This will put the south in closer touch with the identi- fication bureaus of the world, and enable the police departments to do much bet ter work and to know when they have a criminal who amounts to something.
 The Bertillion system, which is consid- cred the most perfect in the world for the Identification of criminals, will also be recommended to all cities and towns in Alabama With this system criminal is branded for life, so to speak, so that he may be recognized wherever found, and ne is unable to change himself so that he will not be recognized.
 It is estimated that with a large num- Der of Bew stations the cost will be greatly lessened, and that a city may get a complete outfit for something like s1eO.

Though Council Hesitates to
Make a Guarantee.

Whether the City Council will con
cur in the resolution adopted by the
City Commissioners guaranteeing to
the Akron Water Works co. that the
necessary revenue will be fortncom.
ing If the company will extend its
mains to North HILL is a question. AZ
ter a great deal of discussion in Mon
day nights Council meeting the matter
was referred to Solicitor Esgate.
He will ask the company on what
ground it demands that the Council
concur in this resolution, and on what
ground ii demands that the Clerk Ger
tify that there is money in the trea s.
ury to pay the bill. There is nothing
in the company's contract about this,
and Mr.. Esgate believes he has the
water works people beaten in their
effort TO escape the order that they
shall lay mains to North Hrl this
summer.
Mr.. Seidell said the company should
take its chances in getting the required
revenues. He forgot that its contract
with the city stipulates that the revenue
shall be 500 for every 1000 feet Of
mains.
Mr. Walker quoted decision in
which the circuit court had hell that
a water company could be required to
lay mains for fire protection Mr.. Es-
gate doubted whether this decison
would hold good in Akron. DIR. Hill
made an eloquent plea for water for
the North End, reminding the Council
of the promises made when the terri.
tory was annexed. He said the city
would have no shortage to make up
that there would be enough water tax
ers to pay the revenue the contract re,
quires.
