NEW LAW SAID TO
 BE CIRCUMVENTED
COMPLAINT IS BEING MADE THAT JUSTICES HAVE ESTABLISHED OFFICES JUST OUTSIDE CoRPoR- ATE LIMITS OF THE CITY.

The establishment of the inferior court for beats 2l and S7 which comprise the city of Birmingham and the practical abolishment of the office of justice ol peace in those beats deos not seem to nave entirely had the effect intended by the framers of that act
 The intention was understood at the time to be a curbrng of the arbitrary powers of justices by which they could collect exorbtant fees and in some cases allow their decision in case to be gov erned by the amount of the fee for decid- ing either way.
 The law took all such cases from jus tices of the peace in Birmingham and craeted the inferior court to which all such matters were made returnable
 It is now understood that some of the justices are getting around the law in a very unique way Instead of having their offices in the city of Birmingham, they have established them just outside the corporate limits in such communities as Elyton, where their business is carried on as it was before the law went into effect
 It is further rumored that some of these men even go so far as to have agents in the city who drum up business for them, and with whom the profits from such bus mess are divided
 Conservative men are positive in assert in that the justice of the peace evil was one of the worst this city had to contend with and now when they find that the law has not put stop to their practices they are wondering what is to be done next.
 A well known attorney stated yesterday that he considered the new law practical ly failure unless some means could be devised to circumvent the plans by which justices are keeping up their ole prac- tices.

WARDS REMARKS ABOUT
 GAMING MUCH DISCUSSED

He said further that they had agreed to make it warm for gamblers and va grants after November 2 as the new va graney law goes into effect at F o'clock on the night of the second. He maintain ed that at least 25O gamblers had left the city within the past week. many of them packing up their paraphernalia and nov ing away permanently.
 Members of the police commission differ in their attitudes. Chairman Parker thinks that Alderman Wards attack is not justified. z. T. Rudulph and T. II. Johnson think that the alderman is right in saying that the number of gamblers has hagrantly increased under the present administration.
 It is generally conceded that even though there may be a difference of opinion re- garding the motives that prompted MT. Wards action he has at least drawn the public attention to a state of affairs that is pronounced by many persons to be as bad as anything seen in Birmingham in the gambling line within many years.

GAS CONSUMERS
 ARE COMPLAINING
REGENT COOL WEATHER CAUSED THE FORMATION OF NAPTHA- LIN IN PIPES, CUTTING OFF THE SUPPLY.

As is customary at this season of the year consumers of gas are having diff culty in getting sufficient supply for lighting and heating purposes Gas con- sumers in every part of the city are complaining in strong terms of poor light.
 Inadequate gas supply can arise from three different sources, napthalin in the pipes and the attachment of too many service pipes to a main.
 The cause most prevalent at this time Is napthalin in the pipes. It is a fiaky' white substance resembling snow in ap- pearance which forms in the pipes when ever there is a change of temperature. One of the peculiar things about it is that 1t can be dissolved instantly by breath of air, but so long as the breath ot air is not forthcoming it will remain and partially, if not totally, cut off the pas sage of gas through the pipes
 Employes of the gas department of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company are busy every day in all parts of the ctiy with their air pumps, dissolv- ing the naphthaln which has been form ed as a result of the cold spell during the past two or three weeks
 Sometimes water forms in the pipes and shuts off the supply of gas, but this is much more infrequent. When it does hap pen the water must be pumped out.
 In some parts of the city too many ser vice pipes have been connected up with a man. If the main is small it will not carry gas enough to supply consumers when they are all using gas at the same time. This is something that does not often happen, however, as the company guards against it carefully.
 It is said that there will be no further trouble when the weather has settled definitely.

CLERKS MAY STRIKE
 SATURDAY MORNING
A PROMINENT MEMBER OF MFR CHANTS, EXCHANGE SAYS THAT IF THEY DO THEIR POSITIONS WILL BE PROMPTLY FILLED.

Harry White, president of local 12S Re- tail Clerks Association, stated yesterday that unless their difference with the mer- chants was settled today the clerks would not go to work tomorrow. There was no official announcement made as it is un- derstood it will be put to vote at the meeting of clerks in the Labor Temple tonight.
 D. M. Drennen, president of the Mer- chants Exchange, was seen last night and in reply to query from the reporter said: q have nothing to say" Other prominent members of the exchange were seen but they were equally as retlcent. One of them however said: IT the clerks do carry out their intentions their posi- tions will be easily filled as there are many eligible young men applying daily for work and ready to fill any vacancies which may occur"

Owing to the misunderstanding or telegram sent Walthour by the fair asso- citation. he will not race here this after noon, but tomorrow afternoon he will go against the worlds out door record TOT one mile and five miles.
 Walthour races in Atlanta today at the fair association, and will arrive here to- morrow morning on the early train. telegram was sent Walthour Tuesday, signing him to race here today, but it seems the telegram was not delivered in time, or was not correctly sent, and Wal thour thought he was to race tomorrow therefore he signed to race in Atlanta today.
 The fair management has arranged for a special racing programme this alter noon, and it promises to bring forth the very fastest horses of the fair. The fine race programme and the fact that it is childrens day would make this the larg- est day of the fair, and it is probable that 25OOO people will be out today.
 The Cavalry.
 A feature of today will be the visit of Col. Charles Morton of the Seventh Cavalry, U. S. A. The distinguished army officer will be received with every court esy by the fair management and he will be entertained in the city. Colonel Nor ton is considered one of the best military men in the cavalry branch of the army, and his regiment is considered one or the cracks. Troop c of this regiment, has proven wonderfully popular at the fair
 In this connection there is considerable talk of a handsome trophy being pre- sented to Troop by the citizens of Bir- mingham and the fair management The movement has not taken definite shape, but it Is being freely discussed all over the city and action will probably be taken. The members of Troop have been most gentlemany, and the officers and men have both striven to do everything in their power to aid the fair manage ment in making the occasion a success.
 The drill of Troop c last night was the finest of the fair, and the crowd which witnessed it was the largest. The sol dier boys went through the most intri- cate feats without a slip, and there were several rare exhibitions of horsemanship.
 The fair management stated last night that the childrens' tickets would be as good tomorrow as they are today. There will be some excellent running races to- morrow in addition to the exhibition by Walthour and Lawson.
 Tomorrow the drawing for the piano, set of furniture and several other things will take place, and this has aroused a great deal of attention. The lucky win ners will be announced Sunday morn ing
 The crowd yesterday at the fair was as large as that of Wednesday, and possibly outnumbered it several hundred, but the exact figures were not available last night The crowds in the morning were larger than any morning since the fair opened but in the afternoon the crowds fell off some. Last night the crowd was larger than usual, and the midway shows were packed to the entrance.

 Today will be childrens day, and this will add much to the size of the crowds as nearly every child in the city will at tend the fair at some time during the day. There will be several special feat ures on the midway and in the shows

The resolution introduced by Alderman Ward at the meeting of the city council Wednesday on the subject of gambling in Birmingham, was the topic of much dis cussion yesterday.
 Alderman Ward intimated that gamblers in Birmingham are virtually under police protection and that the number of gaming houses in the city has increased greatly within the past sixty days.
 Some men are praising the stand taken by the alderman while others are crit icising it by saying that it cannot be backed up by facts.
 Chief of Police Wier reiterates his state- ment made in the Age-Herad yesterday morning.
 Chief Deputy Sheriff Albert Stradford stated yesterday that he thought Chief Wier had been maigned in regard to his attitude toward gamblers. He said that the deputies from the sheriffs office worked together and that whenever raids had been made by the deputies it was un- derstood by the police

arranged for their pleasure. Special tick cts have been sold in hundreds to the school children for today, and all will avail themselves of the privileges.
 On the midway one of the shows which has a great deal attention is Lunette. the flying woman in the German hall This little woman flies around in the air with out visible means of support, and the aud fences are mystifled, as hoops and other things are passed completely around her to show that there are no wires. strings or any thing else to hold her up.
 Samson, the giant snake, is one of the most valuable of the curiosities in the collection. This huge reptile, 27 feet long, said to be the largest in captivity, holGs the crowds around his den day after day. Those in charge of the exhibit are hav- ing a great deal of fun persuadng the la dies to touch the snake and make a wish while their hand is on it. They promise the women that if they will never tell anybody what they wish. and if they live long enough the wish will come true. The chances are all thought 10 be in favor of the wishes coming true

Good Races

Today promises to bring forth the best races which the fair crowds have seen. The first of the events will be a free for all trot into which are entered the best horses at the fair. Among this number is Kent McEwen, who has a record of 2:O7I2, and there are other horses which have records only little lower The en- tries for this race are Kent McEwen, Eagle Flannigan, Benigne, Elkin Girl and Little Raven
 The 2:40 pace also promises to bring out some of the best horses in the stables at the fair grounds. The entries for this are Robert Mo, Pearl, Robbie Wilkes and Watson. There will also be a running race
 The unfinished 2:11 pace from Wednes- day afternoon was completed yesterday, Strathmeath taking the third heat with ease. Barney L was withdrawn, having secured second money by winning the third and fourth heats. This left the race practically to Strathmeath, as nothing else entered could come anywhere near these two horses. The time for the fifth heat was 2:19Ks.
 The 2:25 trot went to Tom Beam yester- day afternoon and the 2:24 pace went to Hattie Wilkes in three straight heats. The two winners had easy times. Following are the results:
