Heat Next Week.
THERE WAS TALK OF IT

Things continue to move smoothly in
municipal campaign circles, and so far

day that an effort would be made to have
Sam Jones. who was In Birmingham yes
terday, remain for several days and make
a few speeches in favor of Chief of Po-
lice Austin, who is standing for re-elec-
tion. One of Chief Austin's supporters
said last night tLat it was true some
had thought of such action, but he
deemed it was impracticable. When asked
about 1t, Mr.. Jones said he had not heard
the rumor or had not been approached on
the subject, but even in the event he
was asked to remain in Birmingham he
could not do so. In characteristic way
he said he did not Jump at things"
Moreover, his programme was mapped
out for weeks ahead.
There were many callers at the head
quarters of Mayor Drennen and George
b. Ward yesterday. The clerks and as
sistants in the work of the campaign are
still kept busy.

ear and came out at the nose, causing
a very painful wound

in the city jail. Bremen on charge of
assault with intent to murder on Mickey
higgins, and higgins on charge of as
sault and battery on Mickey Bremen
Mickey higgins was sent to st Vincentss
hospital by City Physician Whelan, who
was at the jail when the men were
brought there. The wounds were treat
ed by DIR. Whelan.
The trouble seems to have originated
from Mickey Bremen getting the posi-
tion of bar tender, which Mickey Big
gins previously held. 1t seems that
higgins has been indsposed for some
time and that Bremen has been look
ing after his work for him while in this
condition. Last night higgins came into

Thursday matinee and night Birmingham
is to hear one of the worlds greatest
concert bands - the first in all Italy
and a worthy rival of the best in this
country The band comprises forty-five
men, who are CARRIED in brilliant red

platform is interesting in the extreme,
and being southerners and from land
where music is part of everyday life,
they play with an appealing force not to
be had from any other nationality. I'm
tanned steeds of melody they have been
called. A large part of their programme
is devoted to operate selections in
which they are said to be absolutely SUI
preme. Sorrentino, the conductor of the
band, is musician to his finger tips.

be effective if properly handled, but fire.
