STREET BALL PLAYING
POLICEMEN TO ENFORCE oRDI
 NANCE AGAINST IT.
Alderman Hudson Had Prepared ar Ordinance Against It, But Did Not Introduce It, Owing to
 Conference with Chief.

Alderman Nose Hudson went to the City Council meeting last night with an ordinance in his inside coat pocket to place an inhibition on small boys who play baseball in the streets of Montgom- cry
 He learned after reaching the Council chamber that there is already an ordi- nance by which boys can be put in Jail for this offense and so his anti-baseball ordinance was not introduced.
 Yesterday morning, while scanning his favorite newspaper. Alderman Hudson read a story about a Mississippi woman who had been struck by baseball in the street and who died as a result of the blow.
 "Humph" thought Alderman Hudson, Surely this street baseball playing IS a reckless thing. I'll stop it."
 Then the Alderman prepared his ordi-

 The balance of the Windsor meeting may or not amount to something from the standpoint of the norseman. It is true a number of the starters at the Canada town are entered at Detroit and other points in the big ring but the drivers of such animals do not ordinarily nave them up to a bruising contest. and are content with q minor portion of whatever purse they may start in reserving their best efforts for the later meetings, where there is more at stake in the way or en- trance fees and more to be gained by d victory.

TURNER'S HAVE HOT DEBATE
Resolutions Passed Declaring for
 Taxation of Church Property.

Davenport, la, July 7.-The second day of the national convention of the North American Turnerbund was marked today by many heated discussions. Three hours were spent in discussing the question Of admission of women to membership. The proposition made it optional with the so- cieties to admit women and to receive them on passes from other societies. but 1t was defeated lS3 to i54.
 An important place was given in the proceedings today to the resolutions urg- ing the exemptions of Turner property from taxation, the proposition being ia. Vored by many Eastern delegates in whose States much Turner property is exempt The main radical element from the West came in with counter resolu- tion declaring for the taxation of all so- ciety and church property. The radicals carried the day, the resolution favoring the taxation of church property being adopted

TEN DAYS OFF IS ALL
COUNCIL REFUSES TO LENGTHEN
 CoPPERS' VACATION.
Chief Gerald Takes Emphatic Stand Against the Fifteen Day Idea, and City Fathers Endorse
 His Position.

Captain Adolph Gerald. Chief of the Montgomery Police Department, last night efrectually killed the efforts of the Police Committee of the City Council to extend the vacation period of patrolmen to fifteen days by sending note to the Council stating that in his opinion the ten days allowed the patrolmen is suf- ficient.
 There were but eleven members of the Council present at last nights meeting, and six of them voted with the Police Committee and against the Police Chief. but the eight votes required to pass an ordinance was lacking, and the Police Chief won his contention.
 In pursuance of a resolution adopted at the June meeting of the Council, letter from the Police Chief was received early in the session of the Council. Chief Gerald said with emphasis that ten days vacation was enough for police officers. and should not be increased. He called attention to the fact that the men in "another department od the city govern- ment'' are on duty twenty-four hours cut of each day and that policemen have twelve hours of each twenty-four to themselves.
 Alderman Roeder. chairman of the Police Committee, said he still insisted on the passage of the ordinance reported by a majority of his committee. which provided for fifteen days vacation for patrolmen. He was willing he aaid to submit the matter to tho discretion of the Council.
 Alderman Mcintyre moved that the report of the Chief of Police be adopted"
 I second the notion" said Alderman Gunter.
 Tt is moved and seconded that the Chiefs report be-be-." President Flem- ing said refiectively. Then a smile radiated the face of the President of the Council.
 With look on his face that said plainly:
 "why. Fleming you ought to have known better the President added: You can't adopt a letter sent here by the Chief of Police."
 Then the clerk read the ordinance pre- sented by the majority of the Police Com mittee It provided for fifteen days vaca- tion for patrolmen.
 Alderman Roeder demanded the eyes and nays and the vote stood:
 NAyes-Messrs Fleming, Hartley, Hud- son. May. Roeder and Toole.-6.
 Nays-Messrs Farley, Gunter. kohn. Mcintyre and Rushton.-5
 The ordinance received a majority of the votes cast. but 1t did not receive enough votes to make 1t lawful and Montgomery patrolmen will have to con- tent themselves with ten days vacation this summer as they have done in the past.

 lieved to have been mentally affected
 He came here from Mobile. Ala, a year
 ago. and has been in the ministry twenty
 five years"

 Yorge of this city. He studied theology at the Central Theological Seminary. New York. and spent the greater part of his
 ministry in the North. He was stationed at Pittsburg. Pa, for several years, and
 at Rockford and other places in Illinois. He came to accept a call to the rector ship of Trinity church in this city from Rockford. beginning his ministrations here Advent, 1895. He rendered his resig-
 nation last summer. to take effect on July 15. 1901. and soon thereafter he and his family left Mobile for his new charge in Decatur.

 "One reason for the increased promi- hence of Windsor this season is the fact that two of the fastest pacers in the land.
