of TreSpass
WATCHED OLIVETTE CLUB
Rensford Brothers, Proprietors of the
Stag Saloon, Had Him Arrested.
Case One of Great Interest
at the Time.

Policeman w. e. Jordon was yesterday
acquitted in the criminal court of the
charge of trespassing after warming
The complaint against Policeman Jor-
don was made by Rensford Brothers,
proprietors of the Stag saloon. Several
months ago Chief Austin suspected gam
bling was being conducted in the Olivette
club over the Stag saloon and stationed
Policeman Jordon inside the saloon with
instructions to watch every person going
up stairs to the room of the Olivette
club.
Rensford Brothers objected to an off,
Ger being on duty in their place of busi-
ness, claiming that by his presence their
business was greatly reduced. A warrant
charging trespass was sworn out against
the policeman. who was arrested and
taken to the jail, but later was released
on bond.
Judge Greene in his charge to the jury,
stated that If the officers had reason to
believe that the law was being violated
in the rooms above, known as the OIL
vette club, and that the rooms were in
control of the parties conducting the
saloon, that 1t was lawful for all en-
frances and exits to be watched.
The jury was out less than two minutes
before returning verdict of not guilty.
In the same court yesterday afternoon,
Jim Largent was convicted of grand lar

HEADQUARTERS TO
Be OPENED TODAY
PREPARING FOR AN
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN THROUGH
OUT STATIONARY SPEECHES
TO BE MADE BY CANDIDATES.

Republican headquarters will be OPEN
ed today in the Hillman hotel. 1t was
expected that headquarters would be
opened yesterday and work commenced
but owing to a misunderstanding 1t was
impossible to secure the rooms selected
at this time, and consequently the COM
mittee was delayed one day in the In
auguration of it's campaign. The private
dining room on the second floor will be
utilized as headquarters until the apart
ments selected can be prepared.
Much surprise is manifested among
the leaders of the republican party at the
nomination Wednesday of ]. Clyde Mil
lar for congress in this district. While
Mr. Millar has -the united esteem and
support of his party in the Ninth dis
trict,it was expected that man would
be nominated who has been more promi-
nent in the councils of the party than
has Mr.. Millar.
The republicans, so it is said, will
make their greatest effort in Congress-
man Burnett's district, the seventh. This
would seem to be the case from the fact
that their campaign will be formally
opened at Fort Payne, De Kalb county.
which is included in the Seventh district,
on October 4, with speeches by ]. A.
Smith, nominee for governor, and Oliver
d. Street, Congressman Burnett's oppon-
ent. 1t is probable that several other
speakers, including ex-Congressman
Howard, will be present to start the
campaign with a sufficient amount OF
wind and enthusiasm.
The campaign committee in the Seventh
district is composed of NJ. w. Howard,
N. B. Spears, j. ]. Curtis. l. H. Latham
and Il. II. Nicholson.
]. Carter Cooks, chairman of the re-
publican state campaign committee, will
prepare an address in a few DAYS to
present to the voters of the state, out
lining the principles advocated by the
republicans Of the state in this cam
paign.

lican state executive committee. left for
home In Huntsville Wednesday night
Mr.. Wellman will spend much time in

cox's SHOE STORE.
Ladies' Much Interested In Display of
Fine Footwear at This Popular
Store.

Among the merchants this has been the
week of fall openings. For the past three
DAYS the streets have been thronged with
ladies hurrying to and fro In their in
spection of the various beautiful displays
in millinery and dress goods. But an in
spection of ladies' wearables would have
been incomplete without look at the
newest styles in shoes, and this was
brought forcibly to their attention as they
passed the beautiful windows of Cox's
Shoe Store where there is as handsome
a display of footwear as was ever seen
in Birmingham.
If there is any one thing about which
ladies' are fastidious. anyway, it is their
footwear, and the new patterns of high
grade shoes at Cox's, displayed on pol
ished oval and rectangular mirrors, drew
forth the favorable comment of every
passer.
The interior of the store was more beau
tiful than ever, If that is possible. Going
into Cox's is like going into a parlor,
anyway. The furnishings are elegant and
everything is arranged with the finest
taste. Leather chairs and divans, pol
ished floor. handsome rugs and palms
are a few of the things that make 1t such
a pleasant place TO drop in and spend
few minutes.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Cox in speak
ing of the fall styles for ladies, said that
a lighter weight shoe than that Of last
season would be worm
1.-THE extension sole will still be popu-
lar, though" he continued, "and the
Louis XIV, Cuban and military heels will
be the favorites. Birmingham patrons are
certainly be up-to-date when 1t comes to
shoes. They know what they want, and
the dealer must supply the latest and
best or lose their trade. We are handling
a 50 line of shoes that can't be found in
places even as large as Memphis Nash
vile and Louisville. That shows the kind
of goods Birmingham patrons demand.
Mr.. Cox has always had the reputation
of handling only first-class shoes. and his
line this season is much more complete
than ever and gives the purchaser
very large variety from which to make
selection. -

81 CAUSES A STRIKE OF
THREE HUNDRED MINERS
OF TENNESSEE COMPANY
One of the Union Miners Objected to Having This Sum Deduct
ed from His Wages for Striking Miners in PennSyha-
MIA, and Other 299 Miners Refuse to Work

demanded that the Tennessee company
oblioe the 20 men to pay the assess
ment, or discharge them. The conn
pany declined to do this, but agreed to
collect, and is collecting, from such
of its employees as give written order.
"As a result of the position taken
by the Tennessee company, the 800
men are now ioIe at the request or
command of the officers of the union,
those men who have paid refusing to
work with those who do not pay, and
those who do not pay being too small
in numbers to work without regard to
the others.
at No. Pratt mine of the Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad company
about 300 men are employed. Of this
number one man refused to pay the
assessment of 81 per week. The COM
pany declined TO deduct that sum from
his wages without an order, or dis
charge him. As a result, the other
299 men have ceased work. Messrs.
Flynn and Kirkpatrick, who are off,
GERS of the Miners Union, we're at No.
8 Pratt mine this morning and ad-
dressed the men, and 1t is reported by
miners who were present that the men
were ordered by Flynn or Kirkpatrick
not to work with the one man who
had refused to pay the assessment"
William R. Farley Here.
William r. Farley of Pratt City, ma
tional committeeman of the United Mine
Workers, returned home yesterday from
Tennessee where he had been for some
time. He came to Birmingham last night
and was at the United Mine Workers
headquarters in the Chalifoux building
for an hour or more.
Asked IL he had any statement to make
concerning the attitude of the men at No.
8 Pratt mine, who failed to work yes
terday, Mr.. Farley said that he could
say nothing for publication. He had not
conferred with President Flynn, he said
and. therefore, was not in a position to
talk. His services had not yet been In
voked and he could not say whether they
would be until he saw Mr.. Flynn.
Mr.. Flynn was not at his office yester-
day. He spent the greater part of the
day at Brookside. Mr.. Farley said he
would probably not see him until today.

ADVERTISING FACTS.
Remarkable Showing Made BY Lord &
Thomas, Advertising Agents.

A little booklet has come to hand which
is one of the handsomest things of its
kind ever published, showing reproduc-
lions both in black and white and colors
of advertising placed by agency of Chi
cago, for their various clients, many of
whose products have become household
necessities throughout the country. The
booklet is of particular interest because
of the character of the work shown, and
will prove of great interest to anyone
who advertises, but by far more interest
ing and startling are letters given therein
from each of the Chicago papers, show
ing that the Lord & Thomas Agency
placed more advertising in their own
city than any other firm. The remark
