TRAVEL IS HEAVY
 OVER NEW ROUTE
SINCE NEW LINE TO ENsLEY WAS OPENED CARS HAVE BEEN WELL PATRoNlZED-No DE- CREASE ON OLD ROUTE.

The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company's new line to Ehsley by the way of the old fair grounds. which was opened on Sunday. was well patron ized yesterday. Between 10 a. m. and 6 p. m. the cars were crowded. The mum Der of passengers carried yesterday ex- ceeded the number on Sunday by nearly 20 per cent.
 J. B. McClary, manager of the railway department of the company, said last night that the opening of the new line had not thus far caused any falling off in the business of the old line between Birmingham and Ensley. He said that unless there was an appreclable de- crease in the Pratt City route the sched ule by that line would remain as it Is.
 Ten trolley cars are now operated be- tween Birmingham and Ensley, six over the old route and four over the new. Tn addition to the ten cars in service be- tween the two cities the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company runs two "cross town cars" in Ensley, connecting Birmingham with Wylam.
 Early next spring the company will run trolley cars between Birmingham and Bessemer over the old route, and by the summer 1t will open it's new route to Bessemer by the way of Powderly.

 ITO the public:
 As the duties of my office require all of my time and attention, have not had an opportunity to get around among the public and advocate my cause as my competitors are doing Nearly four years ago, when first elected to the office of chief of police, to which I again aspire, I took a solemn oath to faithfully enforce the criminal law of the state of Alabama and the ordinances of the city of Bir- mingham. to the best Of my skill and ability; this I have tried to do without fear or favoritism. Search my record from beginning to end and if you think have done my duty and complied with my oath of office, then I ask you to sus- tain me by giving me your support; if have not faithfully and fearlessly com piled with my oath of office, throw me out and get some one who will do better.
 'I do not ask the support of that law less element which desires the shielding and protection of crime; don't want their approval. and would not accept the or flee If elected by that class.
 'Whether defeated or elected, let cir cumstances be what they may, you will find me fighting for the cause of law and order. Respectfully.

SERVES MANDAMUs.
Mayor Drennen Must Report to coun-
 ell Fines Remltted.

The writ of mandamus recently issued by Chancellor Carmichael against Mayor w. M Drennen, at the instance Of AL derman Ward. requiring the mayor to make a report to the council in writing of his reasons for remitting a fine, was served on the mayor yesterday by Dep uty Sheriff George Courson.
 The mandamus was the result of a test case brought by Alderman Ward to see if under the provisions of the charter of the city the mayor did not have to report to the council his reasons for re- hitting a fine. Mayor Drennen claimed that hls stub book always showed the fines remitted, and that as 1t was on file and open for inspection, this was a com pliance with the charter provision. The court held that written report must be made.
 The. particular case on which the man: damus proceedings were brought was the remitting of fine of s25 assessed against Gus Rapps. an employe of a saloon, who was convicted of being in the saloon on Sunday The defendant claimed that he was an employe of the place and did not know he was violating the law when he entered 1t on Sunday.

RETURNS PAPERS
 TO CIVIL SERVICE
THE POSTMASTER GENERAL HAS DECIDED THAT HE HAS NOTH- ING TO DC WITH THE CASE OF POSTMASTER HUGHES.

A Washington special to The Age-Her- aid last night says;
 Announcement was made at the post office department today that the post master general had decided to return to the civil service commission the papers in the case of Postmaster Hughes of Birmingham.
 The commission recently requested the postoffice department to make separate investigation of Hughes case. It seems, however, that the charges against him pertained solely to civil service violations and was accordingly a matter outside the sphere of the postoffice department.
 The commission will now act independ- ently and base their recommendation on the report of Inspector Wannarnaker' s investigation last month.

 Such is the public opinion and fear that women and children who went about from house to house at night by them- selves, will not stir out of doors now without a protector. Women who are forced to be out after dark always make arrangements to have an escort if possi- ble, and 1t Is a noticeable fact that there are fewer on the streets late at night this Christmas than there were at this time last year.
