MIGRANTS ARE FEW
 AND FAR BETWEEN Law Runs Whites and Blacks
 Out of the City SIXTY PER CENT IS GONE The Police Expect That a Large Ma jority of Those Still In the City
 Will Go Away Before the
 End of This Week.

Hundreds of gamblers and women have left Birmingham on account of the new vagrant law, which went into effect yes- terday morning. Every train out of Bir- mingham for the past few days has car ried from one to twenty people who would have come under this law, and 1t Is es- timated that fully 50 per cent of the vag- rant class are gone.
 Of those remaining the larger number are preparing to get out of the city as soon as possible, and the police believe by the end of this week that only very few will be left.
 One of the best effects of the law will be to get rid of the negro loafers around the barrooms in the negro districts of the city, and the policemen on those beats say that a great decrease in the number is noticeable. A great number of 'tin horn" gamblers are buying tickets to other places and getting rid of them will great ly lessen the danger of young boys in Birmingham going wrong.
 Chief Wier's Orders.
 Chief Wier yesterday issued the follow ing order on the vagrant law:
 Captain J. S. Johnston and Lieutenant
 T. c. Hagood:
 "Gentlemen-Call the attention of the men of your respective shifts to the fact that the new vagrant law went into effect last night at F o'clock. All able-bodied men have had time to secure honest em- ployment or leave town, and have also had ample notice of the new law. The men are therefore ordered to arrest and prosecute all vagrants on their beats, re- gardless of class or color. Each officer will be held responsible for the enforce ment of the law on his beat Respectfully,
 "W. D. WEIR,
 "Chief of Police"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-11-04
Only Few Arrests.

There were only a few vagrants arr rested yesterday, as the police require some time to obtain evidence enough to convict under the new law In all there were about twelve cases of vagrancy yes- terday entered at police headquarters, and they were mostly negroes. As no warrants were sworn out for them they were placed in the city jail. and those who could do SO were allowed to make a $25 bond, as Warden Rittenberry had not been of- ficially notified of any change in the law. and had no instructions to increase the bonds in vagrancy cases.
 Some idea of the number of people leav- ing the city under the new law can be obtained from the fact that from one ne- gro boarding house in the city eleven ne- groes left in one bunch for Florida, fear ing the law. The negroes seem to be going to Florida, and several hundred of them have departed to the peninsular state. The white men are mostly gamblers and are going to cities which are wide open. They are pawning jewelry. clothing and everything of value in order to raise money to take the trip.

A great many delegations are coming

which is planned for the approaching
spring. He is accepting all those invi-

be notable one among the journeys
of Presidents and will do much to test
the popularity of the President in the

if President Roosevelt remains in

for soon after his return from the West

SWEAR VENGEANCE.
Wood Choppers on Trail Of
Negro Fred Jackson.
Suspected Of Henry Resnet's Murder
at Oxford, CT, but Released.
Dead Mans Comrades Not Satisfied
and Swear to Kill HIM.

Oxford, Conn, Feb. 26-Uttering
threats of lynching a gang of wood
choppers, most of them French Cana
dams, spent last night in searching
the woods in this neighborhood for
Fred Jackson, a negro who was re-
leased from Seymour Jail by order of
the coroner after it had been decided
that there was not sufficient evidence
to warrant holding him on a murder
charge.
Jackson was a companion Of Henry
2esnet. a French Canadian, whose
body burned to crisp was found.
Tuesday morning, in the ruins of the
hut he occupied. On account of Il
suspicion of foul play jackson was
held pending the coroners investiga-
ton and among friends of the dead
man feeling against the negro ran
high.
AS soon as he was released from Jail
Jackson returned here and entered q
bar room where he got into a quarrel
with number of wood choppers. In
the brawl the negro was pummelled
severely and might have suffered
worse treatment had not the bar ten
der interfered. The latter managed to
get Jackson out of the room and told
him to go into the woods as quickly as
possible.
The wood choppers, angry at jack
sons escape, made threats against the
bar tender and had begun a search of
the premises, thinking the negro was
concealed there, when they learned
that their man had taken to the woods.
Of bn fnojfiyra he

threatening to kill him if he could be

| Up to 10 o'clock this morning, how
ever, the search had been unsuccessful,
and it vas thought that the negro
would make good his escape.
