Docket Contained Over 100
Cases, Mostly for ViOIat-
ing the Sunday Law
COURT WAS IN SESSION
NEARLY ALL The DAY
Judge Takes Up Question of TRUSTEES"
and Orders Cases Docketed Against
Two Guards for Their Max
Ing of TRUSTEES.

Judge Sam VIII John imposed fines
in the Police Court yesterday amounting
to nearly $1,000. They ranged from 81 to
$780, and one negro was bound over to the
Criminal Court under a $500 bond.
It required something over 100 cases to
make up this amount, which is said to be
the largest ever imposed in the court in
one day. The major portion of the fines
were imposed for violating Sunday law
and gaming, five negroes contributing $500
to the fund on the latter charge.
The court lasted until nearly shutdown,
one attorney having seven cases tried,
others having to wait until nearly dark
to get theirs brought up. More than
ten pages of the clerks docket were re-
CURED for the cases, and he was one of
the busiest men in the city
One of the most important steps taken
by Judge John since he became Judge
docket cases against Guards Staggers and
Caldwell for making TRUSTEES" of some
of the worse negroes the Birmingham po-
lice have to deal with. The case which
caused this order was one against Ed
Snipes. trusty, who beat a negro wo-
man Sunday. He was fined S25.
For several months the police have
frequently arrested negro TRUSTEES"
charged with serious offenses. Efforts
have been made to have the custom of
making TRUSTEES stopped, but they have
been in vain. Judge John says the
guards who allow these TRUSTEES" to
leave the jail are as guilty as the negroes
who commit the offenses.
Some of the largest fines imposed yes
terday were:
Charles Smith, negro, disorderly con-
duct, $50; Arthur Faircloth, negro. carry
ing concealed weapons, SLIGO; John Sim
mons, negro, gaming, $50; Sam Johnson.
negro, gaming. 800: Robert Myers, gam

watch, $50; Arthur Henderson, negro,

gravated disorderly conduct SIS; L. Tenn

BLACKSMITHS OUT

MANDs FOR INCREASED PAY
ARE NOT GRANTED-vERY FEW
BLAckSMITHS At WORK.

The local members of the International
brotherhood of Blaeksmiths went out on
strike yesterday morning at o'clock
The cause of the blacksmith strike was
demand by the blacksmiths for an in
crease in wages of 121h per cent, which
the manufacturers and owners of contract
shops have declined to grant.
The wages now paid the blacksmiths
range from s2.s5 to 1915 per day of ten
hours. The demand for the increase was
filed by the blacksmiths on July 8, but
no known action being taken by the shop
owners, a strike was ordered. A few of
the shops, including the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power Company,
agreed to the increase. but a majority
failed to act. 1t is claimed that fifty
four men quit work yesterday. There are
less than a dozen other backsmiths in
the district who are at work today
The blaeksmlths say they are out until
their demands are granted, and member
of the brotherhood stated last night that

turning from Selma, to arrive in Bir-
mingham at 1850 p. m.
The movement In favor of extending
the daily run of this train on the Bir-
mingham originated with the Birming-
and 1t has been pe1sistently supported
by business men generally and the news
papers of Birmingham.
It has been urged that the new train
would be of great benefit to Birming-
ham, Tuscaloosa, Selma and intermedi-
ate stations. and by putting 1t on Its
schedule the Alabama Great Southern
has generously complied with a public
demand; and no doubt is entertained
that the public will make tho enterprise
profitable to the railroad company
Heretofore the train has been run be-
tween Selma and Tuscaloosa by way of
Akron. The schedule of 1t for those
points remains unchanged: the run of
the train being simply extended to and
