RESPONSIBILITY OF
SURGEONS NOW DIVIDED
Major Sylvester Replies to
Medical Society. D
Would Attach Two Surgeons to Police,
and as Many to Fire Department,
and Forbid Private Practice.

Pursuant to the order OF the Commits
sioners, recent report of the Medical
Society of the District, recommending
the consolidation of all the medical work
of the police fire and other municipal
departments under the Health Office, was
referred to the police department. Major
Sylvester has reported as follows:
There are four surgeons of the police
and fire departments. whose work consists
of examining applicants for the two de-
partments and giving attention to the
sick OF either OF the commands. I am of
the opinion that two of these surgeons
should be attached to the staff of the
major and superintendent OF police and
two to the staff of the fire department. to
give the members of the departments their
entire time and attention. OF course. their
compensation should be commensurate
with the duties performed.
Hopeful of Legislation.
This is an idea that occurred to me
some time ago and | hope such legislation
may be had in the near future whereby
the plan may be carried into effect. The
division of responsibility between private
practice and that required by the mem
bers of the force is in a measure detri-
mental to the best interests of the serv-
ice. yet the compensation is factor
which should be taken into account.
There are no other medical gentlemen
connected with this department. and If
they are at any time provided, as I have
suggested. it would reduce the situation
to that condition where there would be
no divided responsibilities" t. ,.

TARIFF and THE TRUST
How the Beef Barons Tax the
American Consumers.

I hate and Trust boycott.
In behalf Of the meat trust it is urged
that repeal Of the duties on cattle,
sheen. beef, pork and mutton would be
of no benefit to American consumers.
The agrarians Of Germany, who are
now working to increase the meat du-
ties Of that country, have a much bet
ter understanding than that concern
ing the operations Of tariff; SO have
the American protectionists who rig
i ged up the Dingley tariff with duties
On all the meats which the people con-
sumo under the pretense OF protecting
i American farmers. How raaeA the
Aafmers are protected = seen BY the

cattle or carcasses Of beef from an in
1 dependen dealer or directly from a
western farmer he would be subjected
to n boycott.
The removal Of every obstruction to
trade, whether legal or natural, would
Il inevitably tend to reduce the price Of
commodities. How grievous are the

HANNAH
Oh, a life on the billowy sea,
A home on the rolling deep,
With a government subsidy
And nothing to do but sleep.
For a steamer chair pine,
For wages without the work;
Oh give me the flashing brine
That preserveth the subsidy pork"
The elections are now in view;
The people begin to frown;
We fear our bold pirate crew
In political waters will drown.
So we'll pour out rhetorical oil
On the turbulent popular sea
While the seething passions boil
Round the good % ship Subsidy.
It's so easy it makes me smile;
The people we'll nut to sleep
And collect so much per mile
While we bound Ger the billowy deep.
And the song of our hearts shall be,
While the voters vainly rave,
A home on the Subsidy sea,
A life on the bounty-us sea.

FAIR GROUNDS ARE
 ASSUMING SHAPE
NUMBER OF MILITARY coMPA- MES TO ATTEND THE FAIR IS IN EXCESS OF WHAT THE MAN. AoEMENT HOPED FOR.

The Alabama state fair will open in Birmingham October 2s.
 The number of military companies which will take part in the parade and the prize drills will exceed the expecta- tions of the management. There is uni- versal desire throughout the state to visit Birmingham and see the Magic City"
 Interest had been aroused in the fair before the later announcements were made; but since the wild west shows and Liberatfs band have been engaged, the interest throughout the state has in- creased.
 The news that Paul Gilardoni has ar ranged to take charge of the restaurant and cafe at the fair grounds is well re- ceived. Paul has a reputation for good dishes which is much broader than the state of Alabama. The cafe will occupy a space under the grandstand.
 The merchants department is under tho superintendent of John w. O'Neill. sec :. retary of the fair association, and the committee are M. v. Joseph and Sol. Ca- heen. The best mercantile display will win prize of $1O0 cash and a diploma; second prize. diploma and $50; third prize, diploma and $25.
 There must be six entries in order to assure the payment of these prizes. and the entrance fee for the contest is s25. As the available exhibition space is now very limited the management gives no- tiee to merchants that their applications should not be delayed.
 Other social events besides the military banquet are being talked of in connec- tion with the fair. Many residents of Bir- mingham are preparing to entertain friends and relatives from distance.

Tennessee Company VIII At-
 tempt to Operate Mine
FARM HANDS ARE PLENTIFUL
Officials of the United Mlne Workers Have Nothing to Give Out. President Bacon Is In
 New York. Y

The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad e6mpany's mines are still idle, and no plans for a settlement of the strike are in sight
 Vice President and General Manager Charles McCrery decided yesterday to have notices posted at Johns today, say ing in effect that if the old miners did not return to work by Friday. October IT, their places would be filled by new men. It was said by one of the Tennessee officials last night that as the failure of tho crops in Alabama made surplus Of negro labor, there would be little difficult ty in securing two or three hundred men for Johns. Two hundred and fifty mine workers makes up the quota for Johns. In 1894 when the Tennessee company had a strike Mir. DeBardeleben, at that time vice president of the company, filled up the Johns mines with farm negroes, and it has been known as a negro mine ever since, although some white miners have been working there.
 MT. Fairley and MT. Flynn, represent ing the United Mine Workers were at their headquarters in the Chalifoux build ing yesterday. Neither of them had any statement to give out.
 President Don 1T. Bacon of the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company was in Duluth a few days ago to attend the funeral of a relative. He returned to New York, and will not be in Birmingham until October 23.
 Of the Tennessee company's twelve fur naces in commission in Jefferson county. only six of them are in operation One of the two Alice furnaces was out of blast for repairs, but the other one was banked Sunday because of fuel scarcity.
 Three of the Bessemer furnaces and one of the Ensley furnaces are banked. An- other Bessemer furnace will probably stop within the next day or two.

Z. T. RUDOLPH IS
 MADE RECEIVER
SUCCEEDS J. B. coB5s AS RE- cEIVER OF THE CONTINENTAL SECURITY REDEMPTION COM PANY-APPEAL DISMISSED.

2. T. Rudolph has been appointed re- ceiver of the Continental Security com pany to succeed J. B. Cobbs. The former will at once assume charge of all of the affairs of the concern.
 The action of appointing Mir. Rudolph as a successor to MT. Cobbs was taken by Thomas G. Jones, judge of the United States court, upon the bill of Fred O.. Howe and others, debenture bondholders. The receiver was required to give a $25,000 bond, and MT. Rudolph at once compiled. giving the United States Fidelity and Guaranty company as surety.
 The change in receivers was the result of the United States supreme court dis" missing the appeal in the case of George A. Blinn. Jr.5 ct al., against the com pany. Those opposed to the bill brought up the question of jurisdiction of the court when 1t came up for hearing in the United States court here in May, 1901. The plea of jurisdiction was sus- tained and an appeal to a higher court was taken. The ruling of the lower court was sustained, which had the effect of removing MT. Cobbs who had been ap- pointed under the bill adversely ruled upon.
 The indebtedness of the concern to bondholders is probably $SOO0oO, and the assets about s41, ,OOO. The Continental com pany was engaged in doing business all over the south.

POLICE COMMISSION
 WILL MEET TONIGHT
PROBABLE THAT ANOTHER AT TEMPT TO ELECT A SUCCESSOR TO THE LATE COMMISSIONER SCOTT WILL BE MADE.

Another attempt to elect the successor Of the late police commissioner. James Scott will probably be made tonight at the regular monthly meeting of the police commission. It has been one week since Commissioner Parker made his proposi- tion to the majority faction that they place the names of the men they intended voting for on file one week in advance of the meeting at which the successor will be elected. The majority refused at the time.
 For several months the commission has dallied with the matter. neither side making concessions the other side would approve of. One of the commissioners has intimated that he was disgusted with the entire matter and that he might at any time be lacking when the matter came up. If he takes that action 1t will leave the two sides equal in numbers and an election will be impossible.
 Patrol Driver Jim Mingea will probably be tried tonight at the session. He and ex-Policeman Marshall had difficulty in the police alley, pistols being drawn and bloodshed would probably have fol- lowed had 1t not been for the prompt work of Captain wier and Policeman Bagan.
 Policeman Leitch will not be tried on a. charge of neglect of duty. having resign ed to accept place with the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company.

GILES LOSES HIS SUIT.
Petition for Mandamus Set Aside On
 Demurrers.

Montgomery, October 13.-(Special)- The petition of Jackson W. Giles to the city court for a mandamus to compel the registrars to register him. came on today and went off on a demurrer by the state. The court held that as the petitioner al- legged the unconstitutionalIty of the reg istration law, he could not in the same breath seek relief under it's provisions. It also held that as he was entitled to an appeal to the courts from the board of registrars. he has his remedy at law. and must first try that before coming into court of equity. Giles announced an appeal to the state supreme court.
 His suit against the registrars for fifty thousand dollars damages also went off on demurrer, the registrars being ex- pressly made judicial officers and inl- mune from damages. An appeal will also be taken in this case.
