MESSER WENT TO CLOSE
 BIG VAUDEVILLE DEAL

M. P. Messer of the Messer- Moore Real Estate and Insurance company, left last night for St. Louis to negotiate a deal with the Interstate Amusement company for the location of the proposed vaudeville theatre in Birmingham.
 The Interstate Amusement company. re- gently organized with large capital stock and backed by men prominent in theatrical circles, will open eight theatres this winter in the south. Deals for sev- eral more are pending.

FEELS EFFECT OF
 SALVATION ARMY
JUDGE FEAGIN SAYS THAT THE EFFORTS OF THE ARMY REDUCE THE NUMBER OF DRUNKARDS AND PETTY THIEVES.

There are fewer cases of "drunks" and fewer arrests for disorderly conduct than ever recorded before in Birmingham at this season of the year. Judge N. B. Feagin of the inferior criminal court is responsible for the assertion. He gives much of the credit to the good work or the Salvantion Army and the Pentecostal Mission.
 q certainly feel the effect of these two organizations in the police court said Judge Feagin yesterday as AdJutant Dodd was leading a poor, unfortunate man away to provide him with meal and cup of hot coffee. The man was not criminal, but was hungry.
 ''There is another case of the Salvation Army taking temptation to steal meat and bread away from a human being, said Judge Feagin. "It may be that may never see him again, but If hunger should drive him to theft l might have to send him to prison before another day is gone He is what is called transient by the Salvation Army people; man that gets out of work and drifts about from place to place with no one to care for him or give him crust of bread unless he happens to fall into the hands of a good Samaritan. The picture has just been presented as reality"
 An hour later the man emerged from the Salvation Army home. He was not recognized by those who had seen him a short while before, so comr ''"' been the transformation and the next moment h.. was in search of work. Adjutant Dodd returned to the police station talked freely of how men are rescued. He said that the Salvation Army devotes its at tention to men in temporary distress, and that women in want are looked after by the Pentecostal Home. The work is en- tirely different from the Rescue Home. which is operated by the Army. Here unfortunate women are cared for. The adjutant is endeavoring to raise s7O0 to extend the work of rescue.

WILL VERY SOON MAKE
 BETTER MILK TESTS

might be inclined to use injurious acids or water.
 There has been no let up in the daily rounds. We are constantly stopping milk wagons and demanding samples Exam nations for the last month have revealed nothing but pure milk. In every case the percentage of fats has been up - the re- quirements. When I say pure, howevf, it must not be inferred that the milk is totally void of organisms. This is a mat ter of impossibility and it is a well known fact that many cities allow a certain per cent for unnatural agents. The con dition in which cows are kept. the food they eat, the water. the pasturage--all have something to do with the product Our microscopic studies will be made with view of raising the standard of milk and this will naturally make the dairies take greater precautions in the care of cows"

STREET GAR LINE WILL SHORTLY BE BUILT ID BOYLES A Branch of Gate City Line of Two Miles Will Be
 Built TO COST $4O,OOO
 BEFORE COMPLETED Other Big Improvements Are Being Made By the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power
 Company.

Robert Jemison, president of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany, yesterday announced that a street car line will be built in the near future to Boyles Gap. The extension will be made to accommodate the large number of people working in the Louisville and Nashville shops and yards at that place as we'll as those living at Boyles and between Birmingham and Boyles
 The new line will be a branch of the Gate City line, and will leave that line at Kirkpatrick street, near Copeland sta tion The road will be something over two miles long and the work of construc- ton will be commenced as soon as pos sble.
 It is estimated that the work and the equipment will cost about $4o0oO. The new line will serve to develop a large terri tory which has not previously been touched by any of the numerous lines of the street railway company.
 The company has not decided exactly what course will be pursued after the line leaves Kirkpatrick street. Two routes have been surveyed. and estimates made on the cost of construction. and a de- cision will be reached later as to which of these will be selected. The two routes under consideration are not very far apart, and the cost of construction will be practically the same.
 It is understood that number of inn provements will be made along the pro- posed routes, and efforts will be made to have several industrial plants built be- tween Birmingham and Bccies. The To- cation of such plants would serve to build up a large local passenger business on the new line.
 In view of this extension the comps NF will double track its Gate City line from Birmingham to the place where the Boyles branch will leave the main line. A portion of this double track has already been built, and the remainder of it will be com pleted as soon as possible.
 The company has already commenced erecting poles along Kirkpatrick street for the electric wires.
 Tn speaking of the extension yesterday afternoon President Jemson said:
 We cannot tell exactly when the work of construction will commence. We have so much other construction work on hand that it is hard to name date for this particular piece of work.
 We are relaying or building over twelve miles of street car lines in the city at present, and as soon as some of this work Is completed we expect to commence work on the Boyles line.
 Tt is over two miles from the center of the city to the place where this Boyles branch leaves the Gate City line, and that entire two miles will be double tracked. We have two tracks already laid along portion of this part of our line
 Our annual appropriation for improve ments on our street car system. power plant and gas plant already amounts to over s1 1000, GOO. We are constantly im- proving enlarging and rebuilding.
 eve will build first-class piece of roadbed to Boyles, similar to the roadbed of our other suburban lines and the equipment will be first-class.'
