The Chattanooga Athletic Club basket ball team will arrive in the city this morning, and will play the Birmingham Athletic Club a game tonight and another one tomorrow.

coNeREssMEN THEIR HOPE.
Only Chance to Secure Army Post for
 Birmingham.

Since the committee appointed to To- cate the army posts. for which money has been appropriated by Congress has re- ported to the house of representatives, nothing remains for the local commit tee appointed to secure one of the posts for Birmingham but to use their influence with the members of the house.
 This will be done as far as possible and MT. C.. H. Estes chairman of the commit tee will write Congressman Underwood today concerning the fight to be made Everything possible will be done by tn, local committee, but on account of tn, position of affairs in Washington 1t 1. next to impossible for the committe, to do much as present
 Congressman Underwood writes thai his newspaper friends have been unable to find out what the committees recom- mendations were and therefore 1t Is hope less for any one else to work trying to discover what the press was unable to find out.

BIR RMINGHAM HAS
 ONE DETECTIVE
OFFICERS COLE, SHIRLEY AND PATTON GO ON REGULAR BEATS WHILE OFFICER cULPEPPER DOES SPECIAL WORK.

In the future there will be but one regular special man connected with the police department. He is Policeman Gull pepper Detectives Cole and Shirley were placed on beats last night with the morn- ing shift of guardians of the peace and MT. Patton will go on at noon today
 Chief Austin will detail a man when needed to aid Detective Culpepper. He said he intends to detail different men so that all can get experience as detect ives. The chief further stated there should be four detectives connected with the force, but the city would not appro- priate sufficient funds for them and that he needed the two extra men on beats.
 The Age-Herald predicted the change over week ago, but it was not corrobo- rated by the chief who said at that time he knew nothing of it. One of the com missioners was the authority for the statement which then appeared and al- though denied by officials several times afterwards, it proved to be only too true.

Result of Sensational Suit.

The original order of imprisonment was signed February but the enforcement of the order was suspended until yester- day. This order was the result of one of the most sensational suits ever tried in Birmingham. c. E. Robinson, a minori- ty stockholder of the Alabama Steel and Wire Company, filed a petition against D. T. Schuler, G. H. Schuler and R. D. Carver, directors of that company, alleg- ing that they had refused to obey an order of court directing them to allow him to inspect the books of that company and that furthermore they had burned some of the books to prevent him obtain ing information. He asked that they be punished for contempt of court. The case was on trial week and at its conclusion Judge Wilkerson dismissed the proceed ings against R. D. Carver and fined D. T. Schuler and G. H. Schuler $50 each and sentenced them to serve five days in the county jail for contempt of court,

FIND NOVEL WAY OF
 MAKING EASY MONEY
New Skin Game Said to Have Been Discovered By Will Arnold and
 Will Norman.

Will Arnold and Will Norman. two ne- groes are under arrest on a charge of swindling "easy marks" Their plan of operation is said to be a new one. One of the couple gets a third party and walks down the street with. The other walks in front and drops a pocketbook. The two behinC grab it and look through it, finding a Confederate bill arranged so as to look like money.
 The advance agent then returns looking for his money and when he sees the couple looking through 1t he offers to bet they have not found all the money in it. The partner to the plan then offers to put up half the money if the 'easy mark" will put up the rest. He generally does it. and of course gets caught.
 Several such cases have been reported to the police and Detectives Cole and Shirley worked up the case.
