How We Can Help Our New Officers"
In the course of his remarks he referred
to his being a charter member of the
second Christian Epdeavor society ever
formed and that he had never seen such
a tremendously working union as this.
As an army to be of any use must not
criticise. but follow the general, SO must
the members stand by their officers.
Regrets were expressed that the Rev.
DR.. l. ID. Steele, who was to have in
stalled the officers, was ill and could
not attend. The Rev. Mr.. Burrill with
a few well selected words installed the
officers, and the Rev. J. A. Bryan led

ton to the work were read by the chair
man, Calf Braxton, and approved. The

TWO WARRANTS ISSUED.
Coal Dealers Charged With Selling
Short Weight Tons.

Upon the complaint of A. J. Hall, City
Inspector of Weights and Measures, war
rants were issued yesterday in the infe-
ror criminal court for the arrest of two
small coal Dealers who are charged
with selling short weight tons of coal
The charges state that the dealer In the
first case sold ton of coal that was
SIS pounds short and that the dealer
in the econd case sold a ton that was
$50 pounds short.
In commenting on the cases, Inspector
Hall said that he could produce three
O., four similar charges against the two
dealers named in the warrants and that
the drivers in each case did not have the
certificate of correct weight which they
are required to have by the coal ordi-
nance.
Mr. Hall said also that complaints of
short weights and short measures were
numerous and widespread in Birmingham
and that the Inspector was handicapped
l., his work by reason of the fact that
h. had not been supplied with sets of
weighing and measuring apparatus. He
minated that the ordinance that he is
supposed to enforce is somewhat Of a
| dead letter.

FRANK P. O'BRIEN
WOULD NOT HAVE IT
FORMER SHERIFF MENTIONED AS
HUGHES PROBABLE SUCCESS
soR-SAYs HE WOULDN'T Ac.
cEPT THE PLACE.

Captain Frank P. O'Brien, former
sheriff and an active member of the dem
ocratic party, has been seriously
spoken of, in non-partisan circles, as the
man who would be postmaster at Bir-
mingham in case DR.. Hughes is removed.
The rumor has been current FOR several
days. 1t originated in the supposition that
the President is thoroughly displeased
with the fractional squabbes of the Ala
bama republicans, Is ready to pronounce
a plague on both the house of Montague
and the house of Capulet in this state,
and Is resolved to select for the Birming-
ham postmastership a man regardless of
his political affiliations.
Inasmuch as Judge Thomas G. Jones is
an intimate friend, and old Confederate
comrade, and an ardent admirer of Cap
tain O'Brien, it is reported that the lat
ters name will be presented to the Pres
dents attention the moment Judge Jones
arrives in Washington, and it is said that
if the republican factions do not compose
their differences, Captain O. Brien is likely
to be offered the place.
Within the last few days scores OF
prominent citizens, republicans as well
as democrats, have sounded the ex-
sheriff as to whether or not he would
accept the appointment. Captain o Brien
at first declined to take these gentlemen
seriously, but their inquiries became 50
persistent yesterday that the ex-sherih
felt he might with propriety make clear
his position regarding the subject.
YES" said he, II have heard these re-
ports, and 1 am grateful for all the
kind things these gentlemen have said
about me.
II just want to say once and for all
that l wouldn't accept the appointment
as postmaster here if the President
should offer it to me on a silver plate.
And I'll tell you the reason why l
wouldn't accept 1t. Mr.. Roosevelt is a
republican. I'm democrat, and I'm the
kind of democrat who believe that dem
ocrats shouldn't accept offices Of this
Kind from rel ublican President. That
being the case, all the kings horses and
all the kings men couldn't induce me to
accept the Birmingham postmastership
from this administration"
