Of Jordan Trial
TO WATCH GAMBLERS ROOMS
Names of All Those Entering VIII Be
Taken Down by the Police.
Many Alleged "Read-
ing Rooms"

Warning will be sent around to all
those running alleged gambling rooms
and poker tables in the city that they
must cease operations at once or their
places will be raided and men will be
stationed in these places to watch those
who enter.
Chief of Police Austin is highly elated
over the result OF the Jordan trial and
lie believes he can now station policemen
In these places &c watch those entering
and leaving. and that the courts win up
hold him in the matter.
Yesterday afternoon he was speaking
OF the matter and said:
81 happened to be talking to a man
who runs a so-called reading room and
told him he would have to close it up
OF 1 would place man there to watch
the entrance. He laughed at me and said
he guessed 1 would do no such thing.
IT told him certainly would and that
1 intended to make 1t hot for the gam
blers and those running so-calied reading
rooms. One OF the patroimen who was
standing near asked the man II he knew
Jordan had been released. and he replied:
"'Oh, h-l!' seemingly being very much
surprised The gamblers are now sick
lot, for they know I can place man in
their places to watch them and can also
raid them and be upheld by the courts :

COW TAX LAW Is
NOW BEING TESTED
CASE OF J. w. EDWARDS IN GRIM
NAL COURT, CHARGED WITH
FAILURE TO PAY LICENSE, IN
WOLVES LEGALITY OF LAW.

The case of J. W. Edwards, charged
with failure to pay the city cow tax,
was on trial in the criminal court yester-
day.
This case grew out of the levying of a
special tax of 81 on each COW belonging to
dairymen doing business within the city
limits. The law has been very unpopular
with the dairymen in general. and in most
cases the tax has been paid under pro-
test.
Mr.. Edwards. the defendant. was repre-
scented by A. o. Lane. City Attorney Ed
Smith conducting the prosecution.
Mr.. Lane was of the opinion that the
city did not have the right to apply the
tuberculosis test; that this test was very
injurious to the animals, and that large
majority of animals were permanently
injured by it. He said that it was I'M
just, and that the dairymen Of the dis
trict were suffering under it.
Mr. Smith argued that the city had full
authority to examine all animals: that
it had a right to exclude all unhealthy
cows. and also had the power to aseer-
tain whether or not the animals were
diseased by applying the proper test
5 Judge Greene has the case under ad-
visement, and will render a decision
shortly.

WRITES SECRETARY HAY.
Mayor Drennen Explains the Death of
an African.

Mayor Drennen has written a letter to
Secretary of State Hay. officially explain
ing the death of Kassougo. one OF the
negroes killed in the panic at the Shiloh
Baptist church September 10.
Kassougo was native African. having
been brought TO America some time ago
by the Rev. Mr.. Werner. a Presbyterian
missionary. and was being trained for
missionary work in Africa at the Still
man institute, Tuscaloosa
Following is Mayor Drennen's letter:
Birmingham, Ala, September 25, 1902.
Hon. John Hay. Secretary of State.
Washington, D. c..
Dear Sir-On the occasion of a public
address by Booker t. Washington at the
Shiloh Baptist church at Birmingham,
Ala, United States of America, on the
evening OF Friday. September 49, 1902, a
stampede of the audience of several thou
sand colored people was caused by false
alarm of fire. In the stampede more than
one hundred OF the colored audience were
killed. Among these was James Kassougo,
native African from the Congo Free
State, who was present to hear the adj
dress. The probable cause of the said
Kassougo's death was suffocation. From
all the evidence. neither the said Kas-
sougo or his guardian, Mr.. Werner, or any
one else, was responsible for the death,
it being purely accidental. Very truly.
IVY. NJ. DRENNEN,
Mayor"

TENANTS ARE BUSY
GETTING LOCATED
MANY WILL MOVE BY OCTOBER
/, AND ONLY THREE WORKING
DAYS REMAIN IN WHICH TO
CHANGE LOCATIONS.

Only three days remain before october
l, by which time tenants who expect to
change locations for the ensuing year
are supposed to have moved. AS is
usual each year. many removals will
take place and the ensuing three days
will be busy ones.
Many have already moved, especially
those who are moving into new build
ings. The Woodward office building, for
Instance. is rapidly filling with tenants
For a week or more sign painters have
beeen busy putting silver and gilt on the
windows of the various offices, and the
temporary desks and tables used by some
when they first move In are rapidly CIV
ing place to elegant and permanent fl2
lures.
At night the work of removal goes on.
Arranging goods on shelves and putting
things to order is almost impossible dur
Ing the rush of business hours and such
work was being done last night by sew
eral firms who have not moved.
While rents remain high, there are no
vacant buildings or stores. In fact the
moving seems to be from good to bet
ter. In nearly every instance the ten
antss have moved into new and better
stores, those who have taken their place
In the old ones also moving up peg or
two as compared with their old stands.

FILTERS 100000 GALLONS
Plant VIII Be of the American Me-
chanical Pattern-Plans Prepar-
Ing for the Larger Plant
On Shades Mountain.

Work was commenced yesterday by the
Birmingham Water Works company on
its new filtering plant at North Birming-
ham. The company intends also to put
in a plant on Shades mountain to filter
the supply from the Cahaba river. They
have not yet decided as to the details of
this plant. 1t is to be quite large and it
is the intention of the company to have
the best that can be obtained
The plant for the North Birmingham
reservoir will filter from 100000 to 20
00O,0 600 gallons daily. It is of the American
mechanical design, that is to say, the
water will be filtered by mechanical
methods instead of the slow system of
gravity filtration. The plant will consist
of 40 large steel tanks each of a diameter
of Is feet, and so arranged that any
tank can be cleaned at any time. This
system of filtration is In force in nearly
all American cities and Is said to work
satisfactorily.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR
POLICEMEN MADE
CHIEF AUSTIN ACTS ON THE IDEA
THAT DETECTIVES FOR VARl-
Gus SOUTHERN CITIES WILL
Know THEIR OWN CROOKS.

Chief of Police Austin has completed
arrangements to bring about thirty-five
policemen to Birmingham for the street
fair. They are to be from other cities
throughout the south, and he hopes by
this means to catch all crooks before
they have time to operate in the crowds
which will be here. In speaking of it yes
terday he said:
Il have made arrangements to bring
them here at no great expense to the
city, and think they will more than re-
pay the small amount which will be paid
out for their actual expenses.
Il will station several of them at the
union passenger station, and I will place
several at Second avenue and Nineteenth
street, where I think most visitors will
catch the cars for the grounds. I will
have one or two at the Bessemer dummy
station, and I will send the rest to the
fair grounds. At each gate I will have
two or three, and I will have the crooks
caught as they enter.
Il think by this means fewer people
will be worked" by the confidence game
and fewer pockets will be picked
worked on the theory that these police
men would each know the crooks from
their own city. I will have the crooks
locked up until after the rair and will
then turn them loose.
II cannot give out the plan by which
I get the men without heavy expense
will have them dressed IN citizens cloth
ing, and no one will know they are DO
licemen until they make an arrest"

INVENTs MAIL BOX.
F. o. Osborn, a Mall Carrier, Has His
Improvements Patented.

F. D. Osborn, Birmingham letter car
rier, has invented and had patented a
new letter box for receiving mail. His
postal box will have many improvements
over those now in use and will not cost
any more.
One of these is a small series of win
dows in the front of the box so that the
carrier can see whether there is any mail
In 1t without having to stop and unlock
1t. Another is a glass front over the card
on which is printed the hours of collect
ing mail. This protects the card from the
weather and keeps 1t from being defaced.
These improvements are all on one side
of the box and can be placed on the boxes
now in use without much cost.
