Another successful meeting was con ducted last night by Major Berriman ana .ha nsunshine Brigade" of the Salvauon Army at the Army hall on Second ave- nue.
 Dsspite the indictment weather the nall was crowded and close attention was paid throughout to the address or Ma)or Berriman. The subject of the talk was the .New Light Cure" The text of Major Rerriman was taken from the seventh verse of the first chapter of the First Enistle of John: But if we walk in the light as he is in the light. we have fel- ,owship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

DECATUR AUTHORITIES
 CAUSE COMPLICATIONS

duties in a perfectly satisfactory man. ner.
 After a conference with w. Barnes Morgan, supervisor of the quanatine ser vice In Birmingham, Dr. Ashworth Dr. Northington and MT. Foster joined in the following statement:
 we will not issue certificates to De- catur for love or money. No price can buy one. We have conformed in every way to the requirements in issuing cer- tifcates, and every man that receives one of these certificates is compelled to swear that he has not been in the infect ed districts. We examine every man, as- certain where he has been, and give a detailed description of him so that he can be identified.
 We have been done an injustice and the only way we know in which to get justice Is to allow the people desiring to go to Decatur to get their health certi- ficates as best they can. If the Decatur authorities require that the health certi- ficates be signed by 8 health officer of Jefferson county, then let these passen- gers go to the health authorities. The signature of a health officer is no more
 binding than our signatures, as we re- quire a man to make an oath that he has
 not been to an affected district.
 Another thing. We have turned down scores of people and refused them health certificates because they could not take the oaths required.
 "The matter is not hurting us In any
 way but it Is hurting Decatur, because we know of at least two dozen people who wanted to go to Decatur today, but could not do so on tho trains on which they desired to go for the reason that they did not have certificates, as re- qured by the Decatur authorities, and could not get their tickets. The Deca- tur people in Birmingham are as mad as wet hens about the matter and blame | the Decatur authorities We think that
 the Decatur authorities have been misin-
 formed and that if they will come down
 here and make an investigation they win see that they are wrong"

Decatur has gotten itself Into trouble by an action of officials of that city in regard to the quarantine regulations. The officials have refused to accept health certificates signed by Dr. Eugene North lngton or pr. R. F. Ashworth, the two young physicians who are always at the Union passenger station to accommodate the public.
 The Decatur authorities made some as- sertions that the physicians and notary, MT. Foster, were issuing certificates to just any and everybody and not asking any questions or requiring a man to swear on oath that he had not been to any of the infected districts
 All three of the men named resented the insinuations made against them, which they state are untrue and unjust. Yesterday they all refused to Issue any certificates to people wishing to go to Decatur, and told the prospective trav- elers that if they desired health certi- fcates they could go up town and get them from some other physician and have them sworn to by some other mo- tary.
 As a result about twenty people who desired to go to Decatur were compelled to remain over in Birmingham and miss ed their trains A great howl went up from these people. many of whom are residents of Decatur.
 One man who was left over yesterday is one of the largest and most prominent merchants in Decatur and he stated yes terday that the action of the Decatur authorities was serious mistake and that they were entirely wrong In the position they had taken. He made careful in- yestigation into the matter of health cer- tificates issued at the station and said that he found it to be great convenience and at the same time the most effective way of dealing with the situation that exists.
 The Decatur authorities state that they will not accept certificates unless signed by the health officers of Jefferson county. The health authorities state that they are not going into the wholesale matter of issuing certificates, and cannot remain In their officers all the time to accommo- date Decatur. They state that the physi- clans at the station are thoroughly ca pablo and that they are performing the

CHANGES ARE MADE
 IN POSTOPFICES
ADDITIONAL TERRITORY UNDER BIRMINGHAM PosToFFicE GRE ATEs DEMAND FOR A LARGER GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

The United States postofhces at East Lake and North Birmingham are no longer in existence having, at the stroke of 12, midnight, Thursday become sup stations of the Birmingham postofnee. ! The addition of these stations and the new territory taken under the Birming- ham postoffice proper requires the en- ployment of seven additional letter car riers and four more clerks. Postmaster Carter requests that people living at East Lake and in North Birmingham hereai- ter have their mall addressed to them at their street numbers.
 ". L. Davidson was yesterday installed as clerk in charge of the East Lake station and R. N. Mckinley, who has been connected with the East Lake post office for the last six or seven years, will be MT. Davidsons assistant.
 J. M. Smith will be the clerk in charge at North Birmingham and will be as- sisted by Mrs. M. Beatty.
 One city carrier will be assigned to East Lake and two rural free delivery carriers It Is the purpose of the Bir- mingham postoffce department to have
  day, covering the entire community of East Lake.
 North Birmingham will have two city carriers who will make two deliveries daily and rural routes six and seven, heretofore leaving from the Birmingham postoffice will in the future leave from the North Birmingham station. The inclusion of the new territory in the Jurisdiction of the Birmingham post office department will mean a large in- crease of revenue to the main office and will necessitate an addition to the present government building That part of the building at the disposal of the postoffice department has for several years been entirely inadequate. The rapid growth of the postal service In the last few years in this city means that with this addition al territory to be looked after by the local postoffice, the facilities must be enlarged.
 Birmingham is the distributing point of the rural route free delivery service in Alabama, and for the month of August checks amounting to $32,o00 were yester- day sent out to the 600 rural route car riers in this state. The next pay day however, will require an outlay of $10,00c more by the United States postoffice de- partment in the state of Alabama. This, however, will include all salaries in the Birmingham postofhce as well as those of rural delivery carriers.

PARK GUARDIAN OR DESTROYER

Mayor Mcclellan has acted with commensurate
promptness on his return to the city In putting
stop to Park Commissioner Schraders race
track building In Pelham Bay Park. He was
unfortunate in having chosen Commissioners
who as soon as his back was turned Tor Vaca-
ton, engaged in such an improper and hlegal
enterprise The Mayors Intervention can re-
store the turf in the park. but it cannot replace
the large trees which Commissioner Schrader
has already sacrificed to the horse racing ira
ternity We may be thankful, however, that
some of the trees marked out for slaughter stu
stand and that the irreparable damage is much
less than it would have been if the rescue. OF
Pelham Bay Park from its oficial-if not nat
ural-guardian had been few days delayed
The question now arises, What is to become
of Schrader? His unftness for the place lie
holds is completely demonstrated. Not only
does he lack the taste and the sense of the fit
ness of things so essential to park commits
sioner but he lacks respect for law. He not
merely devastates the park and wastes the pub
NC money but he does these things in violation
of the charter On the score Of taste, we nave
perhaps little right to expect action from an adj
ministration which tolerates Pallas, but prece-
dent for removing lawbreakers has been set in
the case of Mr.. Schmitt, Mr.. Schrader's prede-
cessor, who was removed for violation OF the
Civil Service law The city charter requires
the consent of the landscape architect to all
changes respecting the conformation, develop
ment or ornamentation Of any of the parks.
Calmly ignoring this limitation on his powers.
in the face of the opposition Of the architect,
Commissioner Schrader proceeded to cut down
trees, move roads, destroy parade ground and
build racetrack. He could scarcely have de-
vised q piece of work that would have been
more decided change in park conformation and
more of an innovation in the policy Of develop
ment Even if he had had the technical authority
to go on it was matter of policy so important
that any conservative and trustworthy commits
sioner would have sought the approval of the
Mayor. He sought the approval only Of his
horse racing friends, and then proceeded law
lessy to oblige them. In doing it he also vio-
lated the provision of the charter respecting bids
for work costing over 81 900.
The taxpayers ought to be reimbursed for this
work done in violation Of law. 1t is not proper
charge against the city. 1t is a personal ex-
penditure for which Commissioner Schrader
should be held responsible. The damage and
its repair so far as it can be repaired will cost
about $4,000 which Mr. Schrader should be
compelled to pay. Then he should be relieved
from the care of parks which he evidently does
not appreciate and the administration of law
which he clearly does not deign TO obey.
