CHIEF AUSTIN REPORTS INTER. ESTING MEETING OF CHIEFS

 SYSTEM UNDER GOVERNMENT.

Chief of Police Austin, Chairman of Police Commission McCary and number of chiefs of police from Alabama re turned yesterday morning from Louis- vile, where they have been attending the annual meeting of the International As- sociation of Chiefs of Police. They all report a royal time and state it was the best and largest meeting ever held.
 Besides Chief Austin there were fin the party Chief Banard of Pratt City, Chief of Police A. McGill of Tuscaloosa, Chief of Police Soust of Mobile. Chief McGill was elected a member of the orzaniza- ton. Chief Austin said last night:
 we had a great time and were roy ally entertained. Everything in Louis vile was thrown open to us and every one seemed glad to welcome us to the city. The meeting was largely attended and many new members elected. From all parts of the country there were chiefs of police who were present for the first time.
 Louisville has a great police force, greater in many ways than New York's, although not so large. It Is thoroughly equipped and well disciplined. There is much gambling in the city however, and 1t is to a certain extent wide open.
 .'The most important business was the report of President Sylvester of the Washington City police force, on the efforts being made to place the Bertillon system of measurements in charge of the government. He says in his opinion the bill will pass Congress without any trou- ble. It woud aid the police greatly to have the system in the hands of the gov ernment which would make 1t thorough and uniform. We also want national rogues gallery to be kept at Washington

The general assembly of the Cumber- land Presbyterian Church meets Thurs day of this week at Springfield, Mo. The Rev. E. p. Morris of Missouri is the re- tirlng officer as moderator of that body.
 The Rev. l. D. Steele, the Rev. J. H. B. Hall, MT. W. M. Cosby and MT. F. F. Kimbrough are delegates from the Bir- mingham district. At this meeting an effort will be made to have a training school for boys established in Birming- ham.
 The Rev. I. D. Steele was asked yes- terday if any questions of general inter- est would come before the session.
 There are several interesting questions coming up," he said.

Contractors Say They
 WiIl Resume Work Today

Several members of the Master Build ers' Association said last night that all the contractors would resume work today.
 'T expect to have about ten carpenters employed Monday" said prominent con- tractor, "and by the latter part of the week I think I will have about all the carpenters I need"
 Contractors claim that several non-un- ion carpenters, having heard of the lock- out, arrived here Saturday ready to go to work today.
 The builders offer s5 cents maximum for a nine hour day. One of the officers of the Master Builders Association said that very few carpenters would get less than the maximum.
 The report of the joint conference of the executive board of the Master Builders Association and representatives of the Union Carpenters which was held at Turn Verein Hall Saturday night was obtained from officers of the Builders Association who were present.
 It seems that the proposition for a com promise of the union wage scale came from individual officers of the association and not from the executive board. These officers proposed to split the difference between their minimum of 30 cents and the carpenters maximum of 35 cents and make 1t 321h cents. It Is now said that the executive board did not feel that 1t had the authority to make such prop osition; hence adjournment without re- suits.

WARM SUNDAY

HOT SULTRY WEATHER MAKES POPULATION SEEK SHADY COR NERs-THousAN OF PEOPLE RIDE ON THE CARS.

Yesterday was one of those hot sultry summer days, with little breeze and much heat. During the afternoon the ther- mometer went as high as 90, and many sought the shade of the woods and the pleasure resorts near the city. The.aarg- est crowds of the spring were in the parks.
 The cars to all the parks were packed and it was hard to find hanging-on room much less seat. Cars to North Bir mingham. East Lake. Ayondale and Lakeview ran every few minutes and they were all filled. At the parks the peanut vendors and the popcorn men were in their glory. not to speak of those who gave up cold drinks in exchange for 5-cent piece

ARIZONA FINDS A WHALE.
Scientifio Persons Are Asking How 1t
 Ever Got There.

Phoenix, Ariz.-In the museum at the University of Arizona at Tucson, has just been placed the skeleton of very large whale found on rIe desert south of Yuma.
 The find has excited much attention from scientists and aroused a discussion oyer the manner in which the big fish came so far inland. It has been said and is doubtless a fact, that virtually all o1 southwestern Arizona and southeastern California was once covered by the ocean and some scientists declare that the whale was left high and dry when the waters receded from the region.
 It Is more likely. however that the big fish ventured into the Gulf of Cali fornia and was washed by flood upon higher land, sas sE atfnaH 5lt N
 Other finds of value from a scientific standpoint have been made in the same region. In the university m useum are the tusks and lower jaws of an elephant. which were found on the Yuma desert The size of the jaw and tusks prove that the animal was of larger proportions than the elephant of today. as1eaD

claim that they are the only legal hold CTS and that they cannot be divested of that money, even if they wanted to. They say the school will lose the money to that department If a separate board of trustees Is appointed.
 What Is your opinion on it?''
 'Well. l am for peace always. I am afraid of two boards of trustees In the same university. You then have a fine chance for friction, to say nothing of the probable loss of the money"
 Has the university been a success so far?"
 'Yes, l think so. To give you the words of Governor McMilln of Tennes- see, he said for the teachers of Tennes- see that Cumberland University was do- ing more good than any school on the globe for the amount of money it had. He also said there were more Congress- men and Senators in Washington, during his term of eighteen years, from the law school at Lebanon than any school in America"
 What about the Milligan University ?'
 Tt will be launched at the assembly, and 1t has a million dollars to back it. Professor Taylor of Kansas has been named as the president. It is located at Decatur Ill.,"
 "Who will be chancellor of Cumberland University, as Judge Green has re- signed?'
 MT D. E. Mitchell of Pennsylvania. He is young man, not 30 yet, but a man of affairs He started poor, but has made s15O,000. He is looking out to establish training schools in the Southern States and an effort will be made to have one of these schools located in Birmingham. |"

 MT Connally's correction of the joint conference report follows:
 To the Editor of the Age-Herald.
 A statement appeared in Sunday morn- ings Age-Herald that the Master Build- CTS had offered a compromise of 321a cents per hour to the carpenters as a minimum wage. The statement was not correct A member of the Master Builders Associa- tion yesterday afternoon asked the car penters' business agent If he thought the conference committed of the District Council would meet the executive com mittee of the Master Builders Associa- tion to listen to proposition they wished to submit. The request was granted, and 1 the committee from the District Council met the committee from the Master Builders Association at S;30 D. m. Satur- day. The executive committee of the Master Builders Association stated they had no proposition to make and the statement of an offer of 321a cents mini mum wage was not correct and was not made by the executive committee of the Master Builders Association.

they chose to return to China. so that
they would not become charges upon
the territory This fund was consider
ed a special deposit for this particular
purpose and was deposited by the ter
ritory in the bank. About "a year ago
it was decided by Acting Governor
Cooper and Treasurer Wright that this
fund could be used for general pur-
poses provided the government always
stood ready to meet any demands on it
for passage money back to China OF
those Chinese entitled to passage
money from it, This money" says Sc
cretary Cooper, was specially in
charge of Treasurer Wright, and was
kept separate from the money over
which Registrar Hapai has control. 1t
was kept in the safe but in separate
box to which Mr.. Wright had the key"
The flight and defalcatiOn of Trea-
surer Wright has brought about con-
siderable discussion OF the financiuJ
methods of the territory. It is pointed
out by some Of the bankers that with
the 10th of November it is considered by
financial men as a general proposition
that there is tied up in the treasury
about $l,500,000. That amount is ac-
tually taken out of circulation. For
weeks before that time the banks are
unable to loan as freely as they other
wise would ON account of the fact that
SO much of the money of the country is
taken out Of circulation by being paid
in taxes and deposited in the treasury.
it does not get into circulation again
until it is paid out of the treasury on
warrants. Instead of this system it is
suggested that the taxes as they are
paid in be deposited i'm the banks to the
order of the treasurer the banks giving
bonds so that the money paid in for
taxes is not taken out of circulation Tut
keeps right on in circulation, nOtwith-
standing ii is always at the order of the
treasurer for the payment of govern
ment obligations. In this way there
would be no money in the treasury for
anyone there to steal
