 SOME STATEMENTS
THEY SAY THAT EX-POLlCEMAN sUDDETH NEVER SHOT MIR. LAIRD, BUT STRUCK HIM WITH PISTOL.

The members of the police department expressed themselves yesterday as feel ing very much hurt over the statements in the Age-Herald regarding the incidents in connection with the time when Police man Richardson shot and killed boy named Lee, and when Policeman Suddeth was supposed to have attempted to kill MT. Laird
 The police have reliable information that. two companions of the boy whom Policeman Richardson killed have been hung on a charge of murder. They state that the boys turning out murderers should be sufficient evidence that they were not in the alley for any good purpose the night that Policeman Richardson shot one of them. He thought they were bur glars. and from what has transpired since the police believe that he was Justified in his belief. It was afterwards shown that the boys had cave full of stolen property in Memphis.

 "Policemen Suddeth. Gardner and Miles were working together They were near Thirteenth street and Seventh avenue when MT. Laird passed up the railroad track. One remarked to another that there went a man. and they had better see about him. Policeman Suddeth walk ed up on the track and hailed Mir Laird. He did not stop, and Suddeth followed, and told him to halt. that he was an of policeman and fired three times.
 '"rhe policemans pistol failed to fire. He returned to where the other officers were and asked for a gun which would shoot. He exchanged pistols with Police man Miles. He ran after Laird and saw him go into the gas house. The police man followed and saw Laird standing with his gun in his hand as if ready to shoot. The policeman covered Laird and ordered him to lay his pistol down Mir Laird refused and Policeman Suddeth, instead of shooting Laird, as the paper stated, struck him on the head with his pistol. This puts an entirely new phase on the case. The policeman was fined for the trouble, but this was for hitting the second lick. The police department clipped in and paid the fine, thinking Suddeth was innocent of any wrong.'

 Work. Shops.
 ''The plan of the social work of the Sal vation army is to establish If possible work shops and wood yards where the applicants for assistance, if physically able, can work and there earn a living for themselves. I think that it will only be a short while before the Salvation army in Birmingham establishes work shops. In other cities in the south they have been quite successful. Within the past iliteeH HiOlltHS lHe eApenSeS oi HidlH- tainng the Shelter have been $500, all of which amount has been paid. This money was secured from niclkels and dimes taken up at our meetings held on the streets in the business section of the city.r
