CANDIDATES ARE
NOW GETTING BUSY
WITH REGISTRATION LISTS BE-
FORE THEM THEY HAVE A BASIS
TO WORK oN-cAMPAlGN is A
LITTLE SLOW.

Candidates for municipal offices yester-
day were busy all day looking over the
registration lists and figuring out their
own strength and that of their opponents
1t is rather remarkable that all of the
candidates, with the names of the voters
before them. managed to figure them
selves out in the lead.
Since the registration is finished and the
candidates have basis on which to work
it is expected that the campaign will
begin to warm up. 1t is understood that
none of the candidates will make public
speeches during the contest. They look
upon it as a fight between friends and
say they see no use in discussing issues
before the voters
1t was suggested to several Of the can
didates yesterday that the Birmingham
campaign was In the wake of the ma
tional contest and was one of the slow
est on record.
'That is quite correct" said one of the
candidates. 1--WE see no reason for break
ing our necks In chasing around the va
rious wards, making speeches and dis
cussing the shortcomings of our oppo-
nents. We are not fighting anybody, but
are working for ourselves"
While the candidates do not propose to
fall beneath the dignity of Presidential
candidates, they did not suggest that
they would receive delegations at their
homes as do Judge Parker and Mr..
Roosevelt.
1t now seem certain that no candidate
will win out in the first race, as the rul-
ing of the city executive committee pro-
vides for a majority of the votes cast
for a nomination. Even the most conf
dent candidates do not claim this much
strength. Something over $500 votes
will be required for a nomination, and
none Of the candidates expect to receive
that many votes in the first primary. The
second will be held week later between
the two highest men. This will really be
the exciting race of the present con.
test

in proportion to the number tied. re-
versed by the supreme court Judge
Greene for years has been regarded as the
best Judge of criminal law outside the
supreme court, in the state.
There are several candidates to sue
coed Judge Greene. who resigns to accept
the office of probate judge Among them
are Samuel L. Weaver, who was nomi-
mated as one of the judges OF the circuit
court. but who lost his office by the un-
constitutionality of the Lusk redistrictng
act; Felix Blackburn, James Mitchell, E.
p. Mccrossin. It is understood that the
governor also has under consideration the
names of two or three prominent Br-
mingham lawyers whose names have not
been publicly mentioned.

1t was expected yesterday that a sue
cessor to Judge Samuel E. Greene would
be named by Governor Cunningham any
many local lawyers were disappointed
when informed that nothing had been
done.
Judge Greene's resignation is undoubt-
edly in the hands of the governor and
1t is understood that 1t was to go in eff
feet today. II this be true the appoint
ment will undoubtedly be made today.
Governor Cunningham said several days
ago that he would appoint the new judge
so that he could take up his duties i'm
mediately after Judge Greene left the
bench, and there would be no delay in
the administration of Justice.
Judge Samuel e. Greene has been Judge
of the criminal court of Jefferson county

that class of entertainment which Is gen.

are in order at every performance Mr..
Sidney is a most entertaining comedian,
and he is supported by a strong company,
in which the chorus is conspicuous for
shapelfness and the perfection with which
each Of the stage drills is executed. There
are in addition quite a number of song
hits that are worth remembering. BUSY

the thing to while dull care away.

WALTERS RELEASED
AND BRINGS SUIT
WAS CHARGED WITH VIOLATING
THE ANTf-DOYCoTT LAW-FILES
SUIT FOR DAMAGES AGAINST
PRATT COAL CO.

The case of the state versus C. r. Wal
tiers of Coalburg, charged with violation
of the anti-boycott law, was called be-
fore Judge S. e. Greene, in the criminal
court yesterday morning and was mol
pressed by Solicitor Heflin for lack of
evidence. Two hours after Mr.. Walters
had been dismissed there was a suit filed
in the circuit court by C. L. Walters
against the Pratt Coal company claiming
$4,000 for alleged damages.
Mr.. Walters was arrested some time
ago on a warrant sworn out before Judge
II. B. Alternately and lodged In the coun-
ty Jail There were two counts against
him. The first that he had been lettering
around the place of the Pratt Coal COM
pany, seeking to intimidate those desiring
to do business with the company. The
second count charged that he had by
threats endeavored to prevent Henry Let
son from going to work in the mines.
A demurrer was filed in the court sew
eral days ago by Frank S. White and
Sons, attorneys for the miners, and sus-
tanned by the court. So when the case
was called yesterday the solicitor stated
that he had investigated the case ano
that on account of lack of testimony he
would move that the suit be dismissed
which action was taken.

NOVEL APPARATUS
FOR FIGHTING FIRE
Birmingham Department Will
Have Brass Standpipe
WILL BE A GREAT HELP
BY Means of This New Apparatus One
Man Can Handle Stream of Water
Where Four or Five Are
Now Required.

An improvement is to be made in the
will probably aid greatly in lighting fires
in the business portion of the city. For
long time Chief Mullin has desired a
water tower, but failing in that, he is
going to get something which will prac-
tically take its place.
The new piece of apparatus has been
ordered and is expected here in the near
future. 1t is to be built on platform
on the hose wagon which stays at No. l,
and it will be capable of flooding any
fire below the fourth floor of building.
The new piece of apparatus is a brass
standpipe mounted on a platform on the
hose wagon. At the foot of the stand
pipe is Siamese connection which makes
it possible for two or three streams of
water to be thrown through the nozzle,
and the combined pressure will throw the
water, easily into the fourth story of a
building.
One Man Can Operate 1t.
The nozzle is controlled by two sets Of
wheels similar to the steering wheels
used on ocean steamships. One of the
wheels directs the end of the nozzle to
the right or left, and the other moves
the nozzle up and down. In this way one
man can control the stream from a
five or six men. The wagon can be easily
moved to any position about the fire, and
will prove great benefit when a fire is
to be flooded
At the base of the standpipe the diam
eter is about feet inches, and it tapers
to the end of the nozzle, where the
stream can be made any size according to
the tip used. The nozzle, which is about
two. feet long, works on ball and socket
very similar to the ball and socket of
mans shoulder, and by merely turning
the wheels the nozzle can be turned COM
pletely around in a few seconds A
stream of water can be thrown in any
direction.
Easily Managed.
The beauty of the apparatus, outside
of it's ability to throw an immense vol
ume of water, is the ease with which 1t
can be managed. Any one familiar with
a fire department knows that 1t requires
five or six firemen to control one engine
stream and an equal number for every
other stream from engines. One man
can control this apparatus which throws
three times the amount of water of any
one stream which firemen could control
On the arrival at fire, it is very easy
to connect the lines of hose to the stand
pipe, and leave one man to operate it
while the others can be at liberty to do
other work.
