Two Officers On Duty at the Station to Catch the
 "Weary WilIies."

Chief of Police c. W. Austin has issued an order that there shall be two call of ficers on bicycles kept. at the station for the purpose of answering all telephone and other calls. He has ordered Officers W. E. Jordan and w. H. Smith to be on call duty from noon until midnight, and on the other watch he will select two other officers each day.
 Chief Austin said yesterday afternoon that these men would answer the calls from various parts of the city to arrest the tramps and vagrants who have been troublesome for several weeks past, and whom he believes have committed a number of the petty larcehies which have been reported.
 He has requested the newspapers to say that if the tramps are detained at the house and a telephone call sent into either 541 or 554 an officer will respond at once to make the arrest. He is determin- ed to break up the tramp business in Birmingham and to do so has issued an order to the police force to make cases against all tramps or vagrants they can catch.
