Higdon Not Satisfied.

E. l.. Higdon said this morning. in ref erence to the decision of the Supreme Court sustaining Governor Jelks in re- moving him from office. that he would in struct his attorneys to appeal the case to the Supreme Court of the United States The Dick bill, he thought, would enable the case to be carried to that tri- bunal
 T am continuing this matter, not so much on my own account" said Colonel Higdon. "as for the sake of the National Guard in general It seems to me the decision of the Supreme Court of the State is in direct opposition to the laws made by the Legislature and gives the Governor, almost limtless power. The State law js that no officer Is to be re- moved without cause. The Governor re- moved me on his own statement, without reason. except that there was not har- mony among the other officers. By this recent decision sustaining the Governor discord in the ranks without violation oi the oath of office or other misdemeanor will enable the Chief Executive of the State to remove any officer. This ruling Is so far-reaching that l feel 1t my duty to carry 1t out to the end I cannot be- lieve 1t just and as soon as I see my attorneys they will be instructed to ap peal the case to the Supreme Court o the United States.

About 13,OOO Men Are
 Now Idle.
Big Corporations Have Some Coal on Hand and Can Keep Their Plants in Operation
 For a Time.

Birmingham, July 1.-(special)-The suspension of work at the coal mines in this State. employing members of the United Mine Workers of America. began this morning and no less than 1S.ooo men were idle today.
 Several small coal companies called at the ofice of President Flynn of the dis trict organization of the miners and made temporary contracts so that their work could continue. These operators granted all three of the demands of the miners, which are a renewal of the old contract with an advance of 5 cents per ton, semi monthly paydays and eight hours, It be. ing understood that when the new cons tract is made they will be granted the same privileges. The old contract expir- ed last night. No approaches were made on either side as far as the larger coal producing companies are concerned. There is quite little stock on hand with the larger companies. and there need be no immediate distress.
 President Ed Flynn of the miners stated this morning that nearly 14,OOO members of the organization were affected by the sus- pension. The mines in Walker ounty and those in Jefferson County in which con victs are employed are in full operation and the output of coal Is steady at these places.
 No negotiations were made today, as far as can be learned, looking to the making of a new scale. It is not believed that any efforts will he made until after the Fourth of July to bring about settle ment of a new contract. There is still a 1 wide difference of opinion as to how long the suspension of work is going to last. Some believe that a new contract will be made within two weeks. while others an | ticipate a prolonged suspension.

Advertiser Bureau.

AoveruSef buredu. Mobile. July l. Considerable surprise to the public and much consternation among the local postofice employees was experienced this morning when it became known that four of the employees, two white and two col ored had been removed by Postmaster P. D. Barker. They are: Benjamin B. Cox, white; foreman of distribution.
 James T. Peterson. colored. foreman of letter carriers.
 George B. Crane, white: clerk. Clarence Allen. colored: letter carrier.
 Postmaster Barker stated that the only information he could give was that the order had come to him from the Post office Department at Washington to dis charge the employees named. 1t being all legged that they had violated the Civil Service Rules. What these violations were he did not say. He qualified this, however. by remariing that tlie investi- gation was from the head and not from this end of the department.
 Benjamin B. Cox, who stepped dowu and out last night Is one of the most widely known citizens of Mobile. For eighteen years he had been connected with the local postofice and he was ever pleasant to those with whom he had dealings. .'-g. James T. Peterson, the foreman or car riers, had also been connected with the local office eighteen years and although a colored man. had. by his uniform cour. tesy and department. acquired a large number of friends among the white resi- dents of Mobile. He was looked upon as a fixture in the carrier department. George B. Crane had only been in the postofice two years. yet he, too. had won friends 's
 Clarence Allen. during his fifteen years as a letter carrier made for himself friends amongs the white people on his route by his polite address and prompt ness in performing his duties.
 A dispatch from Washington explains the removals as follows:
 Inquiry at the Postoffice Department elicited the information that three enl- ployes of the postoffice at Mobile were removed June 26. B. B. Cox and James T. Peterson were charged with collecting money from other employees for political purposes. for improperly handling civil service examination papers. and for false statements before postoffice inspectors. The third man removed was George B. Crane, the specific charge against him being the giving of false testimony be- fore the inspectors"
