Court Yesterday.

Because the defendant failed to appear
in court yesterday morning for trial. a
forfeiture was ordered by Judge Dan A.
Greene ON the bond of Willis Brewer, Jr.,
indicted by the grand jury on April 8
on the charge of perjury. Attorney B. M.
Allen represented Brewer in Court yes
terday and read letter from him say
ing that it would be impossible for him
to appear for trial inasmuch as he was
detained In New York on account of
illness. The court however. decided to
take forfeiture on the bond, which was
signed by Mrs. A. d. Shugart, John T.
Shugart and Dorian Hall of Lowndes
county.

Before an audience that packed the as

in its treatment. 1t was eloquently de-
livered. For over an hour he received

in the best of form and made a fine i'm
preston on his hearers.
The Rev. L. S. Handley, d. D., con-
ferred the diplomas. He made a brief talk
to the young ladies giving them fatherly
advice as to the future, and pointed out
the important work that lay before them
after they departed from academic halls
for the broader sphere of life. DR.. Hand

10 COME FIRST 0FoCT0BER

A physical director has been secured for
the gymnasium of the Birmingham Young
Mems Christian association. This an
nouncement was made by Secretary jack
son yesterday, and while for reasons as
signed the name of the director is with
held, Mr.. Jackson says that the board Of
directors are assured that they have Sc
cured the services of man in every
way capable OF making the new gym"
of the association one of the most at
tractive in lne south.
The employment of this physical dlrec-
tor to assume duties here October has
several encouraging features to the men,
bers and friends of the local association.
In the first place 1t demonstrates that
the board of directors feel assured of
their ability to complete the new gymna-
stun by that date. Excavating for the
foundation is now In progress and work
on the building will go steadily forwar.
just so long as the funds last. As Is al
ready known, the board expect to spend
at least $4,000 on the gymnasium ltsiild-
ing, and about $4,000 OF this amount has
already been subscribed. The directors
have every confidence In their ability to
raise the additional 5000 by the time It
is needed by the contractor. II 1t Is not
raised. however, the work on the building
will bo temporarily suspended when the
funds In hand have been exhausted. Sec
rotary Jackson has made 1t very plain
that the policy of the board OF directors
will be to create no debts for any pur-
pose.
The building being constructed Is In
the rear Of the frame building now being
used for home by the association. 1t
will be two-story brick structure with
basement The building is s0x7l1s feet.
and the gymnasium floor proper will be
sSx51 feet. All modern conveniences are
to be provided, including a swimming
pool 60x21 feet.
The association now has a membership
of about 900 and the secretary believes
that the new gymnasium will be opened
with a membership of at least 800. The
board of directors are on the still hunt
for subscriptions to the building fund.

A Practice Criticised.

We find that 1t is a practice to have
some officer swear out warrant against
prisoners put in jail by order OF the coro-
ner before that officer can make a return.
This Is especially customary when the
warrants Of the coroner are re-
turnable before justice of the
peace In the district where the crime had
been committed. This practice Is working
a great hardship. as 1t forces witnesses
to make unnecessary trips to the city
and costs the county large sums In I'M
necessary witness fees and and deputies
fees. IT also results in the most impor-
tant witnesses not being subpoenaed at
all, while a great number of unmportant
ones are put en- the docket, taking up
much of the time of the grand Jury and
the courts. We recommend that the list
OF witnesses In murder cases docketed for
consideration of the grand jury where in
vestigaton has been made by the coroner
include all examined before that officer,
or whose examination is recommended by
HIM In our opinion II tho abuse above
complained of be corrected a saving Of
much money would be effected and the
conduct of the business before the grand
jury greatly facilitated.
License to Commit Murder"
The jury feel that they will not have
attention of the court and the people to
the appalling disregard for human life
In Jefferson county. Much OF the time OF
the jury has been taken up with inyest-
CATION of this crime. We find an army OF
men in the county commissioned as peace
officers and too many of them parading
the county walking arsenals Something
should be done to curtail this indiscrim-
mate licensing TO commit murder. We
realize that with its large floating popu-
lation, many being ex-conyicts released
from Pratt City and Flat Top, that to
preserve order in Jefferson county re-
quires a large force of cool, coura geous
men We find that many Of the sheriff's
deputies. constables and police officers
are deserving of the highest praise, and
the purpose Of this paragraph is to urge
that a majority Of the peace officers of
the county cooperate with the people at
Iar,e and future grand Juries and force
from the public service many OF those
who now disgrace Ii. A man who Is en-
trusted With the power and authority to
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1904-06-09

enforce the law should in every sense
be a respecter of the law.
Appalling Example.
One of the most appalling example OF
the possibilities of making the laws %
the state a vehicle for persecution and
oppression comes to us from the commun-
ity OF Brookside. God help the defenseless
and ignorant when the officers of the
law there get them In their clutches. Al.
who spoke of conditions there did so
either with contempt or with fear and
trembling Indictments are pending
against practically all Of the guilty ones
here and we urge vigorous prosecution.
Danger to Taxpayers.
An attempt to investigate into the fine
and forfeiture account of the county
brought the jury face to face with con-
dition fraught with increasing danger TO
the taxpayers. The amount now regis
tered against this fund Is approximately
$12S,000, and is increasing at the rate OF
$4,000 per annum. This fund is In reality
one OF the liabilities of the county. and
the present state of affairs cannot obtain
much longer. The witnesses before the
grand jury and before the criminal court
would be better off did they receive no
more than 20 per cent OF the present fees,
and receive this in cash, and saving to
the county or thousands OF dOllars per
year would be accomplished. 1t would
be no injustice to witnesses to radically
reduce the present fees, as scrip scalpers
alone profit at the expense Of the people
at large. It Is the duty OF the citizens to
assist In suppressing crime and to make
sacrifices OF time and money TO accom-
pllsh that end. We believe they would
take more interest in the preservation Of
law did they realize that their time was
given to the public good alone.
Officers Are Thanked.
We cannot adjourn without thanking
your honor for the full and efficient
charge given We further state that we
have been much aided by having with us
the countys apt and efficient assistant
solicitors, Messrs. j. b. Arid and f.. c.
Winston. Their valuable advice. aided
by the services OF Mr.. Jack T. Stallings,

labors considerable lighter,
