TALKS ARE MADE

The Birmingham Trades Council at It's regular semi-monthly meeting yesterday afternoon unanimously passed a resolu- ton strongly endorsing the movement looking towards the adoption in Jefferson county of local taxation for the benent of the county schools The resolution follows:
 ..whereas. the Board of Revenue has ordered a special election to be held Tn June for the purpose of taxing the prop erty values in Jefferson county 10 cents m each sl00 of assessed values, to be ex- narded on the public schools, therefore.
 sBe 1t resolved, That the Birmingham Trades Council unanimously endorses this action and requests that every member constitute himself committee of one to work for the success of the 10 cent in crease in taxation, from now until elec- tion day.
 Brief talks were made by J. H. F, Nose lev. Thomas Hall, W. H. Stanley and other members of the council in support of the resolutions. which were adopted as read.
 The meeting was held In the Bricklay- ers' hall on Twentieth street 1t being called to order by Vice President L. K,
 
 were present at the meeting.
 The council extended a special vote of thanks to the Birmingham Ledger for an editorial published in an issue of that paper last week, which was favorable to the wage earners and labor in general.
 D. F. OShea of Cripple Creek, Colo, who was present at the meeting made a short address. MT. O'Shea represents the Western Federation of Miners, and has been in Birmingham for several days. In his address before the Trades Council, Mir. O'shea spoke ardently and eloquent ly in behalf of the western miners, claim ing many instances of lawlessness on the part of the armed guard of that state during tho recent troubles. He stated that the strike now was not for the eight hour day, which was voted to them by 46,O0O majority. but was for the right of trial by jury, the write of habeas cor pus, the freedom of speech and of the press" all of which he claims have been denied the miners by Governor Peabody and the national guard of Colorado.
 He said that in the Cripple Creek dis trict, armed forces would "incarcerate the miners in bull pens, while in other parts of Colorado they pack them in cattle cars and deport them from the state, under penalty of death, if they dared to return"
 ''This is done,' he declared, flor no reason but that the men are union men, not single one of them being charged with crime of any description"

THIRD REGIMENT
 FREE OF POLITICS
LIEUT.. COL. MCCONNELL SAYS HE BELIEVES THE OLD TROUBLES ARE GRADUALLY PASSiNS AWAY-oUTLOoK IS BRIGHT.

Lieut. Col. Frank r. Mcconnell com mander of the Third regiment, A. N. G. was in the city yesterday en route 10 Anniston on business, but while here ne devoted a little time to military anairs' He seems very much pleased that poll ties are growing less important in the regiment, and that military matters are gradually gaining ascendency.
 He says
 q really believe that military matters are occupying the thoughts of the or ficers and men of the regiment now and they have forgotten to a large extent the old faetional troubles and fights There has been considerable improve ment in the regiment recently, and l hope that 1t will continue.
 q don't know anything at all about politics in the regiment at present, and hope that is thing of the past. Recent ly there has been nothing of any great importance to happen in the regiment except the resignation of Major J. H. Bankhead, Jr., which took effect several weeks ago.
 q suppose that Captain Charles Led better of the Birmingham Rifles will be elected to succeed Major Bankhead, as he is considered one of the best officers in the regiment When Captain Ledbet- ter rendered his resignation recently sent it back to him and asked that he reconsider and have not heard from him since hope he stays in the service 30 that he can be elected to fill this vG- cancy There is some doubt about the manner of holding this election, and Captain stokely, adjutant of the reg1- ment, is Investigating the law on such elections. I expect che order will be issued shortly for the election of suc- cessor to fill Major Bankhead's place.
 "Outside of this, l don't think there have been any orders issued from my office except to fill several vacancies among the line officers. l believe that the report of the United States officer who was inspecting the Alabama Natius- al Guard under the Dick bill will report that the Third compares favorably with the other regiments he has inspected in this and other states expect great im- provement in the regiment in the future and shall be vary much disappointed if it fails to materialize."

stated that he could now say beyond a shadow of a doubt that Vulcan is at- tracting more attention than any other exhibit at the exposition. He states that everyone who goes to the exposition goes to see Vulcan, and that there is con stant stream of sightseers around the base of the big statue.
 President Jackson of the Commercial club, has about decided to place the plas- ter cast on exhibition free of charge. but to put man at the gate with statu- cites for sale. He believes that more money can be realized by this method than by charging 10 cents to see the statue.
 The committed still needs about $4O06 and this money has to be raised in some manner in the near future. commit tee was appointed at the meeting of the board of directors of the club last Fri day afternoon to take charge of the ar raneements for raising some more money and a report is expected soon.

ATTORNEY General IS BACK

Attorney-General Lorrin Andrews re-
ceived two highly important items of
news on his arrival this morning on the
Alameda, neither of which was cheer
ing. One was that the United States
Supreme Court had decided the fisher
les case against the Territory and the
other that Andrews salary as attorney
general had been reduced SIS per month
while he was away. Another not who'll
ly unpleasant proposition was that
there was a pile of mail foot high on
his desk, Peters was away, Prosser GO
ing, prosecuting at in other circuits, and
a big accumulation of business in sight.
Andrews was first informed of the
Washington decision on arriving here,
having left San Francisco before the
decision was given. United States Dis

opinion today decided the case of the
Territory against h. S. Cunha, sustain
ing the law passed by the legislature Of
1901, which prohibits the employment of
minors in saloons or places where in
toXicating liquors are sold. Cunha was
tried in the District court soon after
the law was passed and was fined SIS
and costs. An appeal was taken on
points of law. The opinion of the
court by Chief Justice Frear, discusses
the points raised in part as follows:
The prohibition. it will be noticed
extends only TO the room in which the
liquors are sold, kept for sale or dis
pensed and not to other rooms in the
same building. The room in question
was one in which liquors were sold at
retail to be drunk there,

johnson have both been trying to get
rid of it, but without result, for an in
junction secured by the Kapiolani Es-
tate prevents action.
The pool extends for quarter of a
block along South street. The road de-
partment was engaged in macadamiz-
ing the street up TO short time ago,
when the Kapiolani Estate made objec-
ton, on account of several feet Of its
land being taken. There are two al
garOba trees within the lines of the
street to be opened and macadamized,
and there was a kick about having
them cut down. Manager Colburn

decision. While the decision maintains
a number of private fisheries, it does
not necessarily put the Territory to ex-
pense.
The fact that the Organic Act does
not make it mandatory for the attor-
ney general of the Territory to con-
denim the fishery rights is not the
only reason why we need not fear a
large expense as a result Of the deci-
SION" said Andrews. THE statute al
so provides that the rights, if condemn
ed, shall be paid for out of money in
the Territorial Treasury, not other
wise appropriated" and there is no
such money in sight just now"

pleasant trip and returns in excellent
health. He arrived at his office in the
