NOT FREE TELEPHONES.
Police Commission Asks City to Pay
 the Bell Company.

It came out at the meeting of the police commission last night that the city has recently refused to pay for several of the telephones wEich have heen in use by the police department. The phones mentioned are those in the residence of Chief of Police Austin, the one in the patrol wagon and the mounted mems station and the ex. tension telephone which runs from the main office of the chief of police to his private office.
 The matter came up through a peti- tion from the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company, asking the police commiSs ion to pass a resolution asking the City council to pay for these telephones. The commission adopted a resolution to that effect and appointed Commissioners Mobley and Stradford to appear before the council and make the request
 It seems that the telephone company allows the City eleven free telephones and that the phones referred to are in excess of that number. The peti- ton cal'i attention to eleven tele. phones ano sets forth that the others are adiducDal and asks that pay be granted by the council.

MAY INCREASE THE
 COUNTY ROAD TAX.
PROPOSED NEW LAW RAISES IT. FROM $2 TO $3 AND PROVIDES FOR DELINQUENT FEE OF 25 CENTS.

One of the most important changes embodied in the proposed new road law for Jefferson county is the increase or the road tax from g to S.
 It is said that this change was made because it is necessary in order to secure an adequate amount sufficient to cover the expense of keeping the county roads in proper condition.
 The new law will provide for den- quent fee of 25 cents if the tax is not paid by the 10th of March of each year, and in addition a warning fee of 25 cents. If the tax IS not paid provision is made that those not paying it must do ten days work on the roads in the county.
 Another provision is that the board of revenue will have the authority to ap- point as many collectors as they see fit. It is understood the road fund will be used exclusively for meeting the expenses of keeping up the roads opening new roads, and that on this work as many persons IS are necessary for Its perform ance can be employed.
 The new law will also provide that the county treasurer be required to keep separate account of the SS fund and that the money is to be expended on warrants to be issued by the board of revenue

BIRMINGHAM GIVES COAL ID THE NORTH. Fifty Carloads Donated by Citl-

WORK OF MAYOR ORENNEN

Fifty car loads of coal from the Bir- mingham district will be sent to New York and Chicago to assist in relieving the distress in those cities caused by the fuel famine.
 Twenty-Five carloads of the coal will be sent to New York and twenty-five to Chicago.
 Mayor Drennen originated the Idea and for the past few days has been at work securing donations from the citizens and corporations with the result that he has been successful in the undertaking.
 Yesterday he sent the following tele- gram to Seth Low. mayor of New York. and Carter Harrison, mayor of Chicago: "The citizens of Birmingham have do- mated fifty carloads of coal for the poor of New York and Chicago. Can you aid me in securing transportation?
 ''W. M. DRENNEN,
 Mayor of Birmingham" Mayor Drennen has not yet received replies from either of the two mayors. but last night received the following tele- gram from the New York World:
 ''Will you kindly oblige the World by telegraphing at it's expense just how the coal, which has been so generously sent by the citizens of Birmingham for the relief of the poor of New York was con tributed?"
  mayor sent the following message: ''The coal contributed was donated by citizens of Birmingham and corporations in this district. I secured the donations with little effort but fear lack of trans- portation may prevent prompt delivery. Ask your assistance in having shipment expedited Out of the unprecedented pros perity of this section 1t is a pleasure to our people to be able to contribute for the relief of suffering elsewhere a pro- duct so ineXhaustible in supply and mined at so little cost.
 "W. NJ. DRENNEN, Mayor" It is thought that transport tation will be arranged and the coal sent forward with in the next two weeks. Nothing further will be done in the matter until replies have been received from the mayors of New York and Chicago.
 Mayor Drenneh has worked very quiet ly during he past few days on the scheme In addition to being a generous gift to the sufferers in two large cities, 1t is thought 1t will be 8 big advertise ment for Birmingham and the Brming ham district.
 A half dozen telegrams were received in the city last night from papers in New York and Chicago asking for information as to the donation.
 Mayor Drennen said last night he would prefer not to mention the names of the individuals and corporations who gave donations to help in making up the fifty car loads of coal.
 It is estimated that the fifty cars will carry about 15OO tons, of 75O tons to each city.

RAILROAD WORLD.


 One of the most important results of prosperity is the building of new blast furnaces in Alabama. While several old furnaces had been repaired, enlarged and put in blast it had been several years since a new stack was erected when the Republics mammoth furnace at Thomas was built. Then came the Central Iron company's large furnace at Tuscaloosa. which will be ready for the torch within a few months.
 The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company is completing a large fur mace at Gadsden, the Schulers have a large stack under construction at Gads- den, the Valley Iron company will soon begin work on a new furnace plant and the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company will begin to build new fur mace at Ensley within sixty days. Thus 1t Is seen that the new stacks either com pleted or in sight will number six, which is an excellent record for Alabama. The Schulers intend, it is believed, to add q second furnace 10 their Gadsden plant and the Iron Valley company Is almost certain to put up a second furnace In De- Kalb county, as soon as It's No. Is in operation.
 The Sloss-S Sheffield company's Phlladel- phia furnace al Florence has just gone out of blast for repairs but will be Tn operation again within sixty days. This furnace had been running for three years without being idle day. Owing to the blowing out of the Philadelphia the Soss- Sheffields output record will drop from nearly 36O00 tons month to S1 900 or 3z.- 000 but when the idle furnace starts up again the company will expect to make between 350Oo and 36.OOO tons q month right along.
 The new Davis Creek Coal ahd, Coke company, of which w F. Leake is presi- dent, s getting out several tons of coal a day, and before the end of the year It's capacity will probably be up to 1000 tons a day. The mines are near the main line of the Birmingham Mineral. In Tusca- loosa county.

s. L. Willard of Chicago has on exhibit
ton at Boards a small collection Of his
exquisite work in photography. The TWEEN
ty-fve prints include a. few landscapes
and study heads. and a larger group of
figures that possess the imaginative quail
ity Of the highest art in a large measure.
There is nice discrimination of values,
rare. beauty of line and splendid color eff
fects in these that -entitle them to rank
as work quite as serious as is done in the
media Of pigment and the etching needle.
The treatment of some psychological sub
jects possess not only beauty but marked
vigor and freshness. The landscapes have
caught nature in some Of her most charm
ing moods, pervaded by a poetic spirit. .
Mrs. Genevieve Greaves and her asso-
ciated workers, Miss Florence Pearsall and
Mrs. -Addie J.. Cole, will hold keramtc
exhibition Monday afternoon and evening
will show 500 jieces of up-to-date work.
The Craftsman for November has for its
leading articles study Of the art Of the
late Frederick Law Olmsted, whose pane
will be linked inseparably with the public
park system of America. which he stinu-
lated and shaped. His aim always was to
reproduce nature by adaptation and ar
rangenent, rather than by counterfeiting
or modifying the elements. altho he did
not hesitate to completely transform 4
tract by change to some other appro-
pirate treatment.
The park system of Boston embodies
perhaps the most satisfying expression Of
his work. In its innumerable contrasts
of form and arrangement. In its varieties
of scenery, in It's manifold opportunities,
on the one hand, for an: exquisite treat
ment of limited areas, on the other, for
broad effects of composition in large tracts
Of woodland ard field, 1t isquite unlike the
public grounds Of any other city,
Among other important achievements Of
Mr. Olnsted were Central park and
Marine park Of New York; Belle isle park,

position; Prospect park, Brooklyn, and

tural beauties of the national reservations
