The echoes of the unsavory Philippine
transport scandal have harly died away,
but another is ready to take it's place.
This time ii concerns the lighter system
at Manila. AS may be known, it is me-
cessary to transfer goods for Manila to
lighters, which in turn land them at the
wharfs and warehouses. These lighters
are employed by the quatermaster in
charge and are paid at a given rate per
trip, the rate being based on their ton
mage capacity. When the situation first
became known, the officials of the Treas

PARKES WILL GET OUT
 HF HIGDON WILL RESIGN

Third Regiment, that all the old field officers, including the present Colonel. be loft out, and an entirely new set of field officers elected. This is by far the most feasible plan for harmony yet offered, but it. is not practicable unless Colonel Fig don should resign. for he is still CofonS though relieved from duty, and conse- quently no one else could be elected to that position.
 No one would rejoice more to see har- mony in the regiment than I. and in or der to give Captain Hays plan trial. I hereby publicly state that l will with draw from the race for lieutenant-colonel, and agree not to again serve as a field officer in the Third Infantry for any num- Der of years from two to lifetime if Colonel Higdon will resign and sign a similar agreement.
 If as I have seen stated in the papers recently by "A Prominent Officer of Bir- mingham (name not given), the friends of Colonel Higdon will accept any ticket on which my name does not appear, while my friends consist of those who
  enforce discipline" it Is plainly evident that the best way to secure perfect har- monay is by the elimination of both of us.
 make this offer in good faith and will abide by it, though l admit that l have little hope of its acceptance. Harmony talk" Is as cheap as any other brand, and I recall that when the field officers were first relieved, there appeared in the papers statements that a certain officer was considering the matter, and would resign if the other field officers did. l suppose he is still considering it."
 I think my proposition should convince any unprejudiced person that I have no desire to be a stumbling block in the way of harmony in the regiment, and that am not seeking promotion at the expense of it's welfare.
 I trust l shall not again have te appear in print with the troubles of the Third, but if l do it will be over my own sigma ture, as in this instance.

CANDIDATE FOR LlEuT-coL. OF
 THIRD PROPOSES A HARMONY SCHEME WHICH WILL ELIMI- NATE OBJECTIONABLE FIGURES

Tormer Major ". J. Parkes, who was nominated at the harmony conference as Q candidate for Lieutenant Colonel of the Third Regiment, is out with a new plan for harmony. He suggests that. since the Higdon faction is willing to accept anybody but him. and since his friends want him and possibly do not want Colonel Higdon. an excellent way to secure harmony would be for the Colonel to resign and agree with him not to run for any office in the regiment.
 Major Parkes says he will gladly with draw from the race and agree to keep out of the Third Regiment for any length of time from two years to a lifetime if Colonel Higdon will resign on the same terms
 Major Parkes' plan is given in a card, which is as follows:
 To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Believing that the general public would prefer that the Third Regiment should settle its affairs without continually air. ing them in the papers, I have steadily refrained from any utterance through the press, with the single exception that shortly after I resigned in February I suggested a conference similar to the one held Wednesday, and promised that the so-called kyle faction" would abide by the result. The friends of Colonel Higdon at that time saw fit to decline to enter such a conference, although they called one themselves afterwards, but even then would not abide by the result.
 I am moved to break my silence a sec ond time because I notice that Capt. K. l.. Hay of Huntsville in an interview sug- gests, in order to secure harmony in the

The corner of Third avenue and Twen- ty-first street is closed to travel. Twen- ty-first street is torn up on account or the having which is being done, but there has been temporary crossing at the corner so that vehicles might pass until yesterday when this was removed and now the approach is fenced off.
 Third avenue on each side of Twenty first street is filled with churt to be used fin making a foundation for the pavement and the excavation going on for the new trust company building which Is to be built on the northwest corner of these streets gives an appearance of hopeless confusion, dirt and disorder to this cor ner All is proceeding systematically however, but as new switches have to be placed in the street car tracks at this corner 1t will be several days probably before Twenty-first street can be crossed at this point.

Hugh Mccullough, Prisoner, Was
 Climbing Walls of Jail
WARDEN BALL DID SHOOTING
Denies Doing 1t, But Is Contradcted By Chief Deputy Sheriff Strad- ford-Policeman NorreI
 Aided In Capture.

Hugh Mccullough, negro prisoner in the county jail, attempted to escape yes terday afternoon and succeeded in get ting on top of the roof of the jail, but here he paused in his flight, not having a felloon and a few bullets sent flying by his ears from the guards below pur- suaded him to surrender. So anxious was he to surrender that he did quite a stunt in sliding down a stove pipe which runs up the jail wall near the warden's office, and landed smiling in the officers arms quite ready to be friends again and let bygones be bygones.
 Hugh is a gentleman of color who not only has taste for liberty but is said to be fond of fine silk and other raiment He was in happier days a porter in the dry goods establishment of Caheen Broth CTS, but was arrested on charge of grand larceny, 1t being said that he stole an SIS silk skirt besides numerous small articles of ladies' wearing apparel.
 Prison life Is not to Hugh's liking and on last Thursday he attempted to be re- leased on habeas corpus proceedings Failing in this he decided to take French leave of his companions in the jail, and yesterday afternoon when he and several others were let out into the jail yard to take exercise Hugh took his exercise in the shape of climbing to the roof of the jail. When the others returned to the jail for the night and Warden David Mims checked them over he found that Hugh was missing. Learning from other his way to the roof, Warden Mims got a ladder and climbed after him, pistol in hand Hugh saw him coming and made his way to the edge of the roof over the warden's office. Here he was seen by Night Warden Ball, who was coming on duty about this time and who, with Po- liceman Jim Norrell, fired several shots close to the negro, who decided to sur render, and he was seized by Officer Nor rell as hegreached the ground.
 There was much excitement in the neighborhood at the time of the shooting and it was rumored that passer by had been shot in the arm. Inquiry failed to develop any such person. however, and it is not likely that any one was shot as the shots were fired up in the air by the officers who were standing on the ground below.
 Night Warden Ball denied to a reporter that he knew anything of the shooting.
 MT. Ball, who was the negro who tried to escape?"
 'I do not know"
 What deputies shot at him?"
 1T do not know. I was not on at the time. The day man was here.'
 How many shots were fired?'
 ''I do not know"
 Do you know anything about the shooting?"
 "No. I do not know anything about it.'
 few minutes afterwards Chief Depu- ty Sheriff Stradford was called over the telephone and stated positively that War den Ball was one of the persons doing the shooting

SULLIVAN>LOVE
 TRIAL AGAIN DELAYED
Love Presented Certificate From Phy sician That He Is Too III
 to Appear.

The trial of ex-Policeman Andy Sulli- van and Deputy Sheriff Will Love. which was to have come up before Justice of the Peace Martin yesterday, was again postponed It will be heard March 25 at 10 o'clock. If the principals are not ready at that time the case will go on to the grand jury. which meets again April 1.
 Yesterday when the case was called the attorneys for Will Love asked that it be continued, as he was unable to be in court on account of illness. Andy Suili- van and his attorneys were present and ready to proceed with the trial.
 When asked the cause of the delay yes- terday afternoon Justice Martin said:
 "A certificate from Loves physician was brought to court and I was forced to ac- cept it. Unless they are ready for trial on the day set I will send the case on up to the grand jury and allow them to settle it.

NO BILLS AGAINST
 MORGAN AND DODD
pisposes of All Charges Against For mer Officers of Redemption
 Company.

The United States grand jury yesterday returned no bills in the cases against George w Morgan president of the Con tinental Security Redemption Company, which is now in the hands of a receiver, and w. L. Dodd. former secretary and treasurer of the Birmingham Redemption Company.
 This finally disposes of all charges against the officers of the Continental Security Redem ption Company, either of misappropriating its funds or of using the mails for fraudulent purposes. Many sensational charges of this kind were made at the time the company passed into tho hands of a receiver but the find ing of no bills by the federal grand jury dismisses the last charge of any char acter pending.
 Twenty-seven true bills were returned, most of them being for violations of the revenue laws. the others being postoffice cases

 The directory Is divided into four parts. The streets and avenues and the occu- pants of the houses on them come first followed by a list of the white persons. The negro portion is next and last Is a classified list of the businesses of the city. The list of white persons is printed or white paper and the negroes on brown paper, so the two may be easily found.

ATHLETIC CLUB
 DEFEATS HOWARD
coLLEGIANS SHOWED EFFECTS OF GOOD COACHING AND MADE THE GAME lNTERESTING-TH SCORE WAS 25 TO IS.

Howard College proved themselves full worthy, last night, of the coaching and training which the Birmingham Athletic Club has been giving them for the last two years, by holding the latter down to a score of 25 to 16. The Howard boys played hard, vigorous game throughout, and it was only through the long experi- ence and fast work of the Athletic Club in the early part of the game that won the contest.
 The first half ended 20 to in favor of the Athletic Club, but in the second half Howard buckled down to hard work and made 13 points, while the Athletics made only 5.
 The scores for Birmingham were made by Huey, 6; Dean. 6; Ferguson, 6; War ren, and Mccall, 3. One of Huey's goals was beautiful one7handed pass from be- yond the middle of the field.
 For Howard Laird made points, Gwin 4, Mullen and Gordon 3.
 Last nights was the last game Howard will play this season, and ends for them what has been the most brilliant season in the history of Towards athletics. They have won every college game they played except one, and have held their own well against the older and more experienced Athletic Club.
 The lineup of the two teams was as follows:
 Rirnoineham. Position. Howard Huey ........... ......C.,... ....Spruell.. Ferguson, capt....R. F........ Laird, capt. Dean . ...... IL. F....... ..Gwin Warren coco. ....R. G........ ....Gordon. Mccall ........ ....L G. ........ ....Mullen
 The Athletic Club will end it's season next Friday night on which date the Mo- bile Y. M. c. A. will play in this city. For the past three years these two teams have been playing hard-fought games, the Birmingham boys generally winning by a narrow margin. The last game which was played a week ago in Mobile was won by the Gulf City team, and now the locals are vowing revenge.
 Next Fridays game gives every promise of being one of the hardest-fought games ever seen on the local court. Mobile in tends bringing up at least twenty-five rooters to furnish their enthusiasm. Re- served seats for this game go on sale at Stones tomorrow.
