Failure to get special permits from the city to work on houses on Sunday caused four white men to be arrested and fined for violating the Sunday law. They were Frank Holmes, J. F. Snyder, H. T. Bunt- ing and c. c. Evans. Charges were pre- ferred by Policeman Nix and the men were fined $1 each by Judge Feagin. It was explained in court that the work was of the nature of an emergency on some houses that are being erected on Avenue l. This was instrumental in getting the minimum fine.
 There were number of other cases before the police court yesterday of more than passing interest. Odom Jones was fined s10O, or 1SO days on the street. Twen- ty-fve dollars was exacted of Joe Scrug- gins, with fifty-day alternative, and the same sentence were pronounced upon Irwin Meadows and Emma Wallace. charged with the larceny of a pair of shoes.

Kirk, who were fined s100 each and sentenced to 1So days on the streets. it developed that Walton's name is Walden. His father was present and made a plea for the man, saying he had always been a good boy" Judge Feagin rescinded the jail sentence but refused to reduce the fines. It is understood that an appeal will be taken.

 CORONER HAS NEGROES WATCHED BY OFFICER

The baby murder mystery has taken a sensational turn. Three negroes, a man and two women, have been found who know many details, says Coroner Paris. All of the suspected are under the surveil- lance of special policeman, and the cor oner asserts he will have them arrested if they do not come forward and make confessions. None of the negroes are accused of the murder. nor does the cor oner think any one of them had anything to do with the burrying of the child. He simply has facts mat will show, he says, that all knew of the child, and that one of them attended the mother while she was i'll.

CHANGES ARE MADE
 IN PLUMBING FEES
COUNCIL COMMITTEE MAKES PEG CONTRADICTIONS AT 4 MEETING HELD YESTERDAY MORNING. COUNCIL WILL TAKE ACTION.

Fees for plumbing inspection in Bir- mingham have been reduced. Several minor changes in the building laws were also recommended by a special commit- tee of the council as the result of meet ing held at Il o'clock yesterday in the office of the mayor. The city attorney will be instructed to draw an ordinance embodying the amendments made by the committee. It will be introduced at the next meeting of the council.
 The committee recommends the follow ing:
 That for new work in the houses with plumbing permit combined be issued for a fee of $1.
 That a sewer inspection and roughing in inspection combined be made for fee of s1, provided both inspections can be made at the same time, otherwise fee of $1 shall be charged for each in- spection.
 That the fee for final inspection be fixed at s1.
 That where more than one yard closet is on the line and belongs to the same
  spection be charged.
 We recommend that these amendments be referred to the city attorney with in- structions to draw up in legal form and report at the next meeting of this board When the meeting was called to order by Chairman Stockmar only three of the special committee of five appointed by the mayor to take up the matter of plumb ing laws and fees were present. They were Aldermen Stockmar, Barbour and J. R. Copeland. City Engineer Kendrlck was present to be consulted on different questions that might arise, and Plumbing Inspector Eckerle together with Acting Mayor Heidt. took part in the discussion. It was the unanimous desire of every one concerned to maintain laws and fees that would make the plumbing inspection department sef-sustaining. The recom- mendations were made in the shape of two motions by Alderman Barbour and the others concurred readily. The meeting was very short.

YOUNG BURGLAR MUST
 GO TO REFORMATORY

liam Jackson of the city court of Bes- semer.
 Fearing that to send the boy to jail or to give him fine or sentence would only tend to make him a hardened crimi- nal Judge Jackson ordered the boy sent to the boys reformatory beyond East Lake. The order stated that young Will Hams was idling away his time around the streets of Bessemer.
 It is said that he had been abandoned by his parents and would not attend a school. He had the reputation of being bright and active. but was said to be misehievous. David was very happy at the jail last night and did not seem to mind the fact that he was going to the reformatory in the least.

 Wonderful Cure by cuticura.
 "Some time ago I ordered and re- ceived your wonderful Cuticura Rem edies, which used on my little afflicted babe with wonderful results.
