Because the treaty with Cuba
gives the United States sugar in

prohibits the giving of them to
other countries, the British gov

American grains by a high tariff.
This is simply reciprocity, pure

TO START NEWSPAPER
BIRMINGHAM MERCHANTS TO INVADE JOURNALISTIC FIELD.
Said to Be Piqued Sver Attitude of Magic City Press in Regard to
 Threatened Strike of Clerks

Birmingham, Oct N-(Special.)- )-Presi- dent D. M. Drennen of the Merchants Exchange, which Is composed or ths merchants of Birmingham, announced to- day that at the last meeting of the FIX change 1t had been decided to get up 2 company to publish morning newspaper in Birmingham. A committee has been appointed to get up a corporation ana already 1t is stated that $5.oOQ has been subscribed to it.
 It is understood that the members or the Merchants Exchange are piqued over the absolute silence of the newspapers or Birmingham on the subject Of union labor in the stores. a strike of the retail clerks being imminent. The clerks have asked for shorter hours, five holidays a year and other things. and the Merchanes Exchange have refused to concede any or the demands. 's
 The clerks today called a meeting for Friday night when decisive action will be taken and a strike will probably follow Saturday morning. None of the news papers has given editorial expression as to the situation and all have been print ing much concerning the impeding strike though the merchants were called upon by the newspaper men only to be told that there was nothing to give out The committee of the Merchants Exchange is said to be in earnest, though the future will have to show what is going to be done in reference to the newspaper. The clerks assert that the fight is not exactly on them as on "unionism" in general.

Increasing in Ma,shal.s

Through the efforts of United States
 Marshal D. N. Cooper the force of field
 marshals recently reduced from fifteen to
 four, has been raised to six. The two
 additional men, who will enter upon
 their work today, are T. J. Kennamer of
 Ensley and H. c. Arnold. of Huntsville.
 The force will now be placed as follows:
 At Birmingham, J. D. Dennis and R. A.
 Smith; at Anniston, R. B. Thompson
 and T. J. Kennamer; at Huntsville, J. E.
 NeSmith and H. c. Arnold.
 Since the reduction of the stan on Au- gust from fifteen to four, on recommen- dation of Inspectors Finch and Oehen. reiter. on account of the change from the fee to the salary system, the mar shal's office has been practically swamped with papers. The Northern District of which Birmingham is headquarters, has control of thirty-two out of the sixty seven counties in the State, many of them being mountainous and difficult to serve papers in. Often it has been nec- essary for the ofiice deputies to go into
 the field. thus getting behind in their
 office work. Just at this time, when the Huntsville court is in session, and the Anniston court and Birmingham court are open simultaneously on November 1. there are so many papers to serve that
 the task had become impossible for the reduced force. It was not until yesterday

Jules Huret Thinks It Most Charm

 After having visited all the principal cities of the East and Middle West of the United States Jules Huret tells the Pa risians:

 "It reminds me of Marseilies by It's an- lmated quays. its blue heavens. It's ra- diant sun and the number of laughing gesturinR people in the streets of so many races.
 New Orleans is a mixture of Spain less fierce than the real one' and of an Italy as voluptuous as the native land but less nervous.

Walter veiley, negro brakeman. was brought in this morning by Southern freight train with several dangerous wounds. He became engaged in a fight with a tramp on the train and was so badly cut that his life is still in great danger. In attempting to eject the tramp he was cut three times. once across the abdomen and once on each leg. When the train reached Woodlawn Junction this morning he was put of, 1t being feared that the jolting of the cars would kill him. Without waiting for assistance and while in an almost dying condition, with the body covered with blood and entrails prtruding, he walked over & block be- fore several citizens of Woodlawn saw the ghastly figure and phoned an ambu- lance. He was taken to Copeland & Ber- rvs infirmary, where his wounds were dressed and the chances are now fairly good for his recovery.

Warm Meeting of Council.

The Birmingham City Council tonight held the warmest session in months and some very startling and sensational accu- sations were made by Alderman George Ward of the Second Ward, who was candidate for Mayor against Mayor Dreenen in the last election.
 The. Alderman presented the following resolution:
 "whereas the offense of gambling has become flagrantly common in the city or Birmingham and the number Of gambling houses has increased to such an extent within the past sixty days that the au- thorities of the county and State have been called upon to suppress them. be 1t therefore resolved that this board here with calls upon and demands of the Police Commission the rigid enforcement Of the ordinances against gambling and vagran- cy. Be 1t further resolved, that unless diligence Is forthwith used In accordance with this resolution, that the pay of the chief of police, of the day captain and of the night captain be indefinitely stopped after November 1st."
 The resolution was referred to the Judi ciary Committee, but not until Alderman Ward had made a sensational statement. in which he said indications pointed to the Police Commission and police officers being in collision with gamblers. He as- serted that protection was being given gambling institutions, but could not say who was getting the pay or how much was being paid.
 Alderman Gray offered a resolution which was adopted which calls on the Police Commission and the police officers to refute the grave charges made by Alderman Ward.

Dr. c, B. Riddick will succeed Dr. J. P. McFerrin as pastor of the First Metho- dist Church of Birmingham. Dr. Rid dick has just been transferred from the California conference to the Alabama conference. Dr. Riddlck was pastor of the Birmingham church from 1888 to 1891 and was largely instrumental in building the present magnificent edifice occupied by that congregation. After leaving Birmingham Dr. Riddick went to Califor- mia where he has since resided at Los Aangeles. As the North Alabama Con- ference does not open until November 24 and as the term of pr. McFerrin has been extended until December 1, it is expected that Dr. Riddick will not come to Birm- ingham until early in December.
