 By stumble in the dark at her home on Wednesday night of last week, Mrs Mary Eliza Cable broke the bone of the smallest toe on one of her feet, which required Dr Marcy's ser vices to adjust again.

HOUSE ROBBED OF
 WATCH AND MONEY
WHILE FAMILY SAT ON FRONT PORCH THIEF MADE A HAUL. A SICK BOY GAVE THE ALARM.

The residence of the Rev. William Live ly. TIP West Twentieth street, was robbed Saturday night and a gold watch belong ing to Mrs. E. s. Renfroe and $2S in money was stolen.
 The theft was committed while the members of the family and boarders were sitting on the front porch. shortly after supper time and the thief escaped, although he was discovered while in the house. It was considered remarkable that he was not heard by some of the people on the porch. bus they were not aware he was in the house until he en- tered a room where boy who was lying sick gave the alarm.
 The thief seemed to be after money rather than anything else. He rihed the pockets of several suits of clothing which were in the various rooms.
 When the thief entered the room where the sick boy lay, the lad cried out, and those sitting on the front porch ran into the house. but 1t was too late. They went next door and borrowed a gun and made a search for the thief.
 The police were notified and Detectives Hamilton and Boedeker went to the house and secured description of the watch.

PERPETRATORS WILL
 BEGIN WORK TODAY
Commission VIII Hold Pubic
 Sessions in City Hall
THE LINE OF PROCEDURE
United Mine Workers VIII Appear as complaintants =. Otherwise the
 Proceedings Will Follow
 Anthracite Commission.

The arbitration commission in the mat ter of the wage scale controversy be- tween the miners and operators will meet here at 10 o'clock this morning in the City hall,
 Judge Gray of Delaware, who reached Birmingham Saturday night will preside over the sessions of the commission. F P Neill of Washington. D. O., who was recorder of the anthracite commission. will act in the same capacity here.
 The other four members of the commits sion are Charles McGrery, vice-president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, and Robert II. Pearson, vice president of the Central Coal company for the operators. and William R. Farley Alabama member of the executive com mittee, and T. s. Lewis, vice-p president of the United Mine Workers of America, for the miners.
 The sessions of the commission will he open to the public and it Is expected that they will last five hours each day until the testimony is all in This work will probably take about two weeks.
 As the operators have an association in this district there will be only one case presented. In which the miners will assume the position of compliments; otherwise the proceedings will follow the anthracite commission.
 Judge Gray passed quiet day yester- day at the IIillman In the morning number of gentlemen called to pay their respects, and in the afternoon the judge went out to drive with friend who was class mate of his son in Harvard uni versty.
 There have been many plans suggested for entertaining Judge Gray while he is in Birmingham, but 1t can be stated au- thoritatvely that the only public ban auet that could be tendered the eminent jurist without causing a certain amount of embarrassment would be that pro- posed by the members of the bar, which will probably take place after the judge has finished his labors here.
 This affair would be essentially a re- cognltion of Judge Gray's legal and ju- diclal rank, and would have no possible significance politically or in connection with the miners troubles.

SEVERAL POLICEMEN
 WILL BE ON TRIAL
The Commission Will Meet Tomorrow Night and Will Probably Dispose
 of Important Business.

The police commission meets tomorrow night in the roll call room in the city hall. There will be several trials, besides the routine work of the commission.
 Among the trials will be that of Police man Joe Cunningham, charged with being intoxicated while on duty This trial has been pending for several months and the commission is very anxious to settle in one way or the other. It has been postponed several times on account of the absence of witnesses.
 Policeman R. H. Hawkins, who was sus- pended several days ago until charges against him could be investigated, will get hearing tomorrow night. He is charged with conduct unbecoming an officer and neglect of duty.
 Policeman Jackson Is also charged with conduct unbeeoming an officer. The spe- ciic charge will come out in the trial when the evidence Is known. The charge now reads violating section 91. which cov- CTS nearly everything

TRYING TO HAVE
 JUVENILE COURT
BILL WILL BE INTRODUCED IN LEGISLATURE NEXT MONTH FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW TRIBUNAL HERE.

Judge Feagin has made the official an- nouncements through the newspapers that a bill will be introduced at the septem- Der session of the legislature to establish a juvenile court in Birmingham.
 The law requires that there shall be due notice. and Judge Feagin has had such printed for the third time. As is we'll known 1t Is proposed to run the court in connection with the police court. and to make 1t possible to provide properly for the wayward youth of the city.
 The measure is the result of the visit of Miss Catherine Way of Chicago, who Is working through the south in the interest of the juvenile court movement.
 The plan as put into successful oper- alton in many large cities provides for a court where boys and girls may be tried. and their sentences so arranged that they will be kept away from the evil asso- citations of the older criminals.
 The court has jurisdiction over the boys and can send them into private families. reformatories or other places of probation, where boy may be surround ed with the very best influences and shown the error of hls way If the boy serves his time of probation without showing intentions to commit additional crime, he is then released. Should 1t be seen that the boy will continue to com init crime then he can be placed In re- formatory or sent to jail
 It is thought that a court of this kind would accomplish a great amount of good in Birmingham, owing to the large number of children who are allowed to run about the streets while their parents are at work. A number of prominent women in charitable circles are interest ed in this movement, which Is merely an enlargement of the scope of the Boys Industrial school.

POLITICS
 BECOMING ACTIVE
Movement to Have Clerks Elec-
 tive by the People
PREPARING A RESOLUTION
T. Y. Prude Will Present to County Committee Matter Relating to Mode of Choosing cereaiE
 offcials-cosslp.

Interest in political matters relating to Jefferson county has taken on renewed vitality through the recent activity of candidates for county offices. although the democratic primary election is not likely to occur for more than a year.
 The probate judgeship seems to be pop ularly regarded as the choicest office in the county, and the prospective spirited race between Judge J. P. Stiles, the pres ent incumbent. and Judge Samuel E. Greene who for years has been senior judge of the Jefferson county Criminal court will be watched with much Inter-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-08-10
The Offices.


 The resolution will include the offices named below:
 That of register in chancery, now held by W. c Garrett, who was appointed by Chancellor Carmichael
 The clerisship of the City court now occupied by pr. J s. Gillespie under ap- pointment of the senior judge of the Criminal court.
 The clerkship to the board of revenue, held by w. s. Morrow. who was elected by the members of the court that he serves
 The solicitorship of the Criminal court. of which H. P. Heain is the occupant, to which office the legislature elects.
 The solicitorship of the Circuit court. to which John C. Pugh was recently ap- pointed by the governor, but under nor nal conditions elective by the legisla- ture.
 The law already requires that the clerk of the Circuit court be elected by the people W. K. McAdory holds this ofA flee
 Mir. John c. Bradley will not complete his term of office until 1906. hence the committee will not be called upon for action in lis case at It's next meeting
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-08-10
Matter of Moment.

A matter of much moment to the poll ticians of the county. and of some inter est to the voters generally is the fact that several important and well-paying offices at present elective by the legisla- ture or otherwise appointive. will be sought to be made elective by the voters at large. It will be recalled that the clerkship of the Criminal court very lucrative place. now held by MT. John G. Bradley, was made elective by the people by the executive committed. and it is said that the democratic committee will probably so treat the other offices not now elective by the people.
 It is known that Alderman T. Y. Prude of East Lake. who is an active member of the county democratic executive com mittee, Is preparing resolution on the line referred to, to be presented to the committee at it's next meeting.
 MT. Prude saes the movement is a popular one He states that he has spoken to several members of the com mittee respecting the contemplated measure and that they heartily favor the movement.
