BENNETT AND COLE. ID FACE SUPER|ORS Accused Patrolmen Will be Given Hearing Friday Night CHIEF WEIR A WITNESS Men Accused By Commissioner Phil lips of Violating Police Reeula-
 tions Getting Ready to
 Appear for Trial.

The next scene in the famous Rabbit Foot saloon drama will in all probability be enacted Friday evening when the cases of Patrolmen Walter Bennett and Paul Cole will be called for trial before the police commission. The officers will be called upon to answer charges pre- ferred against them by Police Commis- sloner George G. Phillips. who has been under a constant and steady stream of fire himself for some time.
 Officer Bennett Is accused of drunken ness, wife beating and being in house of ill-fame. Patroman Cole Is charged with visiting a house of i'll repute while on duty.
 Recently the police commission convened for the purpose of hearing the charges against the two officers, but on account of the absence of witnesses for the prosecution the hearings were postponed, with an understanding that both parties would place the names of witnesses to be summoned In the hands of the proper parties in time to secure their presence at the next meeting of the commission.
 Commissioner Phillips when asked last night If he had submitted list of his witnesses to the police department to be summoned declined to either affirm or deny his position In the premsies, In reply to the interrogatory as to whether or not he will be ready to present his side of the case Friday evening he also declined to answer either negatively oE affirmatively. All that could be gotten in words from the commissioner was q do not care to talk about the matter"
 Notwithstanding Commissioner Phillips silence 1t can be stated as coming from an authentic source that both Mir Phil lips and the accused officers have filed a list of witnesses at police headquarters whom they have signified that they desire summoned to appear before tho police commission to tell what they know about the question at issue.
 It is known that Chief Weir, Captain Johnston, Lieutenant Egan and other of- fcers will be suninoned to appear. The three men named will be asked to appear in behalf of the officers by the accused men. Commissioner Phillips. 1t Is under stood, has asked that the same officers be summoned against the accused
 great deal of interest is being mnni- fested in the charges against the two patrolmen and the prospects are that a large crowd will be present when Chair man Parker calls the commission to order Friday evening.

WALTER K. M'ADORY
 HAD CHARGE OF BABY

Conditions arose in the circuit court yesterday which placed an 1s-months-old baby girl in the hands of Clerk Walter K. McAdory, who was at loss to know what legal disposition to make of the child
 Fortunately the baby. realizing its em- barrasslng position, showed enough con- sideration for MT. McAdory to desist from crying, or making other demonstration of her dissatisfaction at the position In which she was placed.
 The incident has at once a humorous and pathetic side. Not long ago a peti- ton for divorce was filed in the circuit court by Libbie Downs seeking to have the matrimonial ties with her husband severed by order of Judge Coleman. The petition stated that the two had been married from November 13. 1901, until July g, 1905. It said further that the petitioner had in her possession the 1S-months-old daughter of the two, Emma Elisia.
 A second petition filed recently stated, however, that the baby had been taken from the mother by the father and that It was not receiving proper care. Judge

The work on the Barker elementary school. according to the statement of H. K. White, attorney for Robert Palestine. the contractor, will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
 "The contractor has no intention" said MT. White, "of giving up the contract. although he expects to lose about s25oo on the job. The trouble was caused by MT Palestines absence from the city for six weeks. caused by the quarantine regu- lations. During that time the work was not properly managed.
 "The contractor has had no more trou- ble in securing material from his credl- tors.' continued Mir White. land large force of men Is now at work pushing work on the building to an early com pletion. The contract specifies that the work shall be completed by September Is. with credit for such delays as the board of educatio nmay allow for in clemency in the weather and other un- avoidable delays"
 MT. Palestine says that his credit days will give him until October IA, by which time he can complete the work. He says further that he will make good the deficit personally and the city will not suffer in any way.

ANNlSION'S GOOD RECORD

Secretary w. A. Moody has completed the reports of the Birmingham and An niston cotton committees for the cotton wear which ended August s1. The reports show large increase in both cities. and in Birmingham the increase was a great deal over 100 per cent.
 The increase in cotton handled through Birmingham amounted to 63,719 bales in cotton brought to the city from other places, and an increase of 2462 bales in birmingham proper" cotton.
 During the twelve months ending Au- gust a1, 1904, fl. .415 bales were shipped into Birmingham, and 67ss bales of .Birming- ham proper cotton were handled. Dur ing the corresponding twelve months of 1905, 1O5,1s4 bales were shipped into Bir- mingham and 9201 bales of birmingham proper cotton were handled.
 The expression Birmingham proper' cotton means the staple which is brought to Birmingham on wagons and similar private conveyances from the surround ing country
 The figures for Annlston for the twelve months ending August 31, 1904, were 2S,- 49s bales received and forwarded and 3oS2 bales of ''Anniston proper" cotton. For the twelve months ending August 31, 1905, the cotton received and forwarded amounted to 3S,974 bales, and the "Annis- ton proper" cotton handled amounted to 64S4 bales.
 "On Monday we will commence issuing daily rate quotations to the cotton peo- ple," said Mr. Moody yesterday. These rates are all ocean rates from the prin- cipal southern ports to the European ports, and we receive them daily from the steamship companies. These rates we is- sue in our daily bulletin, added to the inland rates which are always the same, give the shippers the through rates on cotton exported.
 "The ports for which we issue these quotations are New Orleans, Mobile. Sa- vannah, Charleston. Norfolk, Brunswick and Pensacola. On our quotation slips we quote rates to Amsterdam, Antwerp, Bar celona, Bremen, Christiana, Genoa, Ghent Gothenberg, Hamburg. Havre, Liverpool, Manchester. Marseilles, Oporto, Reval, Ri- ga, Rotterdam, St. Petersburg, Trieste and Venice.
 The quotations are good for twenty four hours only. A shipper wishing to export cotton by certain ship sailing out of Savannah, for instance, has to wire to the steamship company in that city and ronfirm the quotation

APPLES TO SELL
 HIGH THIS FALL
EASTERN CROP IS SHORT AND BIRMINGH. .H PRICES WILL BE s4.5o AT THE sTART-EGGs WILL ADVANCE.

The Birmingham wholesale produce market is active and eggs are la paruc- ularly brisk demand. Yesterdays quota ton for fresh eggs was 9 cents. but the price will, 1t is believed, advance a cent or two before the end of the week.
 New York apples will be on the market about ten days hence. Reports indicate a short crop in the east. It Is said that owing to the fact that tho trees were not burdened as usual the quality or the fruit in many cases will be finer than usual. Prices will be high At the start good eastern apples will bring A,bo per barrel as compared with $2,75 to $S.25 at the beginning of the last fall season.
 There will be a scarcity of all good fruit except the California product. Dr<- fryit will rule high.
 Virginia cabbage is being received in Birmingham at the rate of six carloads a week. As the season advances the de- mand will increase. and the receipts will be larger by several cars week. Cab bage Is bringing IF to IA cents pound
 Onions from Minnesota and Ohio and a few from Tennessee, are selling for 1%c per pound. The receipts are limited but will be large next week.
 Irish potatoes. now quoted at. soc bushel, will probably advance very soon. Sweet potatoes are in demand at s2.1 a barrel for the Culiman product and 2.5o to s2 e5 for the Virginia and North Car olina product.
 A carload of Canadian rutabagas is now on It's way to Birmingham. The price will be 1Ac a pound.
 Canned goods are advancing, especially tomatoes, salmon and syrup. It is under stood that the Independent syrup manu- lecturers that kept down prices for a year or more are now either in the trust or have adopted trust prices. Canned syrup contains 80 per cent of glucose and 20 per cent of Georgia cane.
 The volume of business In produce and provisions of all kinds will be much larg- CT this fall than in any previous season. Birmingham growth in population in- crease fin the payrolls easily explain the big demand for food supplies.
