Policeman VA Disheroon was bitten
twice yesterday afternoon by a dog
which is supposed to have been mad.
He and Policeman Baker killed the dog
and the brains of the animal were sent
to Atlanta last night to the pasteur insti-
tute. where tests will be made to see
ii the animal had hydrophobia.
Policeman Disheroon will go to Atlanta
today to take treatment at the Pasteur
institute, to prevent any possibility of
the = wounds resulting seriously.
The same dog bit Dave Manual a car
penter who was at work near where the
dog was kept The dog was the property
of d. C. Jordan of No. 1909 Seventh ave-
nue., and it was in the yard of the house
that the policeman was bitten.
Mr.. Jordan has been arrested on the
charge of allowing a vicious dog to run
at large
Chief Wier received a message yester-
day afternoon that mad dog was rum
ming around biting people near Twenty
sixth street and Seventh avenue. He sent
the two policemen up to the place and
Policeman Disheroon gives the following
account of what happened:
We entered the yard by a small gate
and the dog was lying some distance
away on the ground. As soon as he
saw us he sprang up and ran straight
toward us. Baker followed to me to look
out and stepped back of me and we
both pulled our pistols. The dog came
on and we shot at him. He jumped at me
and bit me through the trousers and

made some slight marks in my leg and
then in my left hand, where he bit
piece out of my thumb.
I'VE kept shooting into the dog and he
kept attacking us. I kicked him on sew
eral times but he came at me time and
again. We finally killed him."
The carcass of the dog was taken to
police headquarters where DR., X. u.
Hardness removed the brains, packed
them In ice and expressed them to At
lanta. A solution will be made of the
brains with chemicals and this solution
will be injected into the brain of rab-
bit or small animal and the result will be
watched. If the animal shows any signs
of going mad or any effects of the in
lection it can be Immediately noted and
thus prove whether or not the dog was
mad
The officials of the institute say they
can prevent a person suffering any Sc
rious results from the bite of a mad
dog if they have ten days in which to
treat him. A bite on an extremity will
not develop madness for about fifteen
days and it can therefore be averted by
prompt treatment As a precaution, Po-
iceman Disheroon will be given the treat
ment and the city will be asked to pay
the expenses.
Mr. Jordan made bond and the case
will probably be called today and post
poned, pending the result of the bites. 1t
is not known whether Mr.. Manuel the
carpenter who was bitten, will go to
Atlanta.

PROF. ELLIS, PRESIDENT OF JET
FERSON COUNTY TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION ESTABLISHES CIR
cuLATiNG LIBRARIES.


Prof. S. A. Ellis. president of the JEFF
ferson County Teachers association, is
at work on a scheme to establish circu-
lating libraries in the county and is re-
ceiving great encouragement by all who
are interested in such work. Some time
ago he wrote to Thomas M. Owen, of
Montgomery, President of the Alabama
Library association. asking for advice on
the subject. The letter of Mr.. owen fol-
lows:
July II, 1905
my Dear Sir:-I wish to volunteer my
endorsement of your efforts in behalf
of increased library facilities for the
schools of Jefferson county. The plan you
propose, whereby the County Board of
Education will act as central headquar-
tiers and be the distributing agency for
a great system of travelling libraries Is
most excellent one. 1t will reach the
largest number of those who ought to
be reached better than any plan which
can be devised. The travelling library as
an institution has been fully tested and
is in successful operation in hundreds of
communities.
mo argument is necessary to emphasize
the value of good books and Wholesome
reading. The question If vital moment
to you now is the organization of your
forces to make the collection of books
necessary to begin the work. Details as
to methods of distribution can easily be
worked out later.

which your public spirited labors so rich
ly deserve"

ALMoN's MURDERER.
Escaped Prisoner Has Not Yet Been
Located.

The sheriff's office has not yet heard
anything of the whereabouts of Ed john
son, the negro convicted of the murder of
Ed @. Almon, and who escaped Saturday
from the lumber camp at Doive, where
he had just begun a life sentence.
In the telegram received her. 1t was
only stated that 1t was thought the es-
capped prisoner was headed for Birming-
ham, but no reason for the suspicion was
given. 1t was thought hardly probable
that Johnson would come to Birmingham
as he is very familiar to the local police
as well as the deputy sheriffs. However,
a sharp lookout is being kept for him.

"Our baby boy when three months

doctored with the best doctors, and
then the baby died), thought would

that my baby was better. used them
about six months and the sores were

stated that Mr.. CASTOR had talked great
deal and said nothing. This closed the
argument and the commission then took
the matter up.
AS the matter stands now charges are
still pending against the commissioner,
as they were not dismissed by the COM
mission, 1t is said they will probably
rever be Investigated, but will stand until
action is taken to dismiss them.
Disciplined Policeman Nix.
Policeman Nix was found guilty Of con-
duct unbecoming an officer and was SEN
fenced to five days suspension The
charges were preferred by Lewis Phillip
son, and came under five heads, as fol-
lows.
l. Conduct unbecoming an officer to-
witt assault on the plaintiff.
2. Conduct unbecoming an officer, to-
witt in refusing to allow the plaintiff to
make bond when he offered to do so and
was able to do so.

witt offering to fight the plaintiff after he

T. Conduct unbecoming an officer, to-
witt in using offensive and abusive Ian
guage.
5. Conduct unbecomng an officer, to-
wit: in using unnecessary violence In max
ing an arrest.
g. Conduct unbecoming an officer, to-
wit in assaulting and beating a prisoner,
The commission found Nix guilty of the
general charge and the vote was unani-
nous to give him five days suspension
sentence A number of witnesses were in
troduced and the testimony was that this
officer placed Mr.. Phillipson under arrest
and that the latter resisted to some ex-
tent officer Nix pulled his pistol and
threatened to use 1t, and otherwise threat
ened the prisoner, offering to fight him
after he was off duty at midnight. He
also refused to allow the prisoner to make
bond. giving as his reason that the pris.
oner was inclined to be loud and rough
ana had resisted arrested. The evidences
| further showed that the officer had SEN
| the prisoner to the city jail in the patro
| wagon after reputable citizens had offered
| to go his bond. The officer also threaten
ed to draw his pistol on tne prisoner agar
and to use 1t If necessary.

One Difference
Between This Bank
And q Commercial Bank

One of the many important differences
between the CITIZENS SAVINGS BANK
and every other bank in the city. that
should be considered by the savings de-
position, is that banks doing a general
banking business make loans on what is
considered good paper, unsecured, while
our loans are made only on paper well
secured by improved real estate mort
cages or other equally safe collateral
security.

Smith Favored Publicity.
The city attorney said that too much
publicity could not be given such an in
vestigation, and that if he were in the
place of the commissioner he would seek
| public investigation if he were inno-
| cent. He also said that II the charges
were true that the police force was being
| seriously hampered in it's work and in
terferred with, making it impossible for
| the policemen to discharge their duty.
| He said that for this reason, If no other,
the commission had right to Investigate
| the conduct of one of its members, as
| it was the duty of the commission to pro-
| tect the police force and to see that 1t
performed the duties for which 1t was
| created.
| He then stated that If the charges were
| found to be true il would be the duty OF
| the police commission to institute Inn
parchment proceedings in the higher
courts
|
| of the right of the commission to inves-
| tigate He said that the arguments OF
| the opposing counsel about impeachment
proceedings showed misconception OF
| the purpose of the investigation. The
| commission has the right to investigate
he said. and that to deny any similar body
| the right to investigate would be to re-
move it's efficiency and make 1t power
| less. He asked if the Board of Aldermen
| could not investigate the conduct of any
| of its members, or If the Board of Rev.
enue would be denied the power to in
| vestigate. He told the commission that
| IL had to set itself right before the pub
| lie and say that 1t would not cover the
| investigation up under an official lid
| CAPTAIN White further declared that II
| Commissioner Phillips was wise he would
invite investigation. He then drew at
| tention to the fact that the question be-
| fore the commission was not one OF
mower to dismiss a member, but power
| to investigate a members official ac-
tions. He affirmed that the commission
had this power OF investigation.
| Zell Castor, one OF the attorneys for
| the defense spoke at length on the mat
| ter of impeachment. He did not touch
| ON the question of the right OF the COM
| mission to investigate the charges, bui
said that it did not have the right to tr.
and convict Commissioner Phillips anc
discharge or fine him.
| Mr.. CASTOR limited at unseen influences
we don't understand being back of the
charges and moved that the charges bs
| dismissed. Then he said:
| They shall not say that we shirk tht
| duty. They should meet us at the proper
| tribunal and we shall not plead lack Of
| Jurisdiction. We ask that you dismiss
the proceedings and proceed legally
| He then stated that TIM legal way would
| be impeachment proceedings in the courts
and that five citizens and taxpayers shouls
| appear and make the charges and suppl,
bond to cover the cost OF the trials. Man,
