j. d. Norman of Lafayette. who has
served several terms in the legislature as
a state senator from Chambers county,
and is known throughout Alabama as
rincere and effective advocate Of railway
rate reform, regrets the attitude of Presi-
dent Conner, of the railroad commission,
in permitting the people of the state to
suppose that he will be candidate for
governor
Senator Norman believes that Mr.. Com
er is solemnly obligated to remain In the
office of the president of the railroad
commission and to discharge the respon-
siblities imposed upon him by the people
of the state when they elected him to
that position of trust
incidentally, Senator Norman is con-
WINGED that DIR. Russell NJ. Cunningham
should be. in the interest of all the peo-
pie elected governor. and that, IL elect
ed, the railway rate system platform
would have in Dr. Cunningham an in
telligent and fearless champion.
Every man who fought the good fight
In the legislature, whether in the Senate
or the House, in favor of an electoral
railroad commission said Senator Nor
man yesterday, perfectly understands
that when the supreme test came DR..
Cunningham rang true in defense of the
people, and that 1t is to him more than
to any other man that Mr.. Conner owes
his election as president of the railroad
commission.
ut was DR.. Cunningham's voice, infu-
ence and vote In the concrete pressure
of a great emergency that gave the peo-
pie of Alabama an elective railroad COM
mission.
"Dr. Cunningham's whole record on the
subject proves conclusively that he has
been a consistent advocate of those prin-
ciples and policies which will bring the
PEOPLE relief from unreasonable railway
rates.

The Savings Deposition
And The Banking Laws

Section $50 of the new Constitution of Alabama
provides that depostors in banks who have
not stipulated for interest shall, in case of in
solvency of the bank be entitled to preference
of payment over all other creditors INCLUDING
savings depositors who receive INTEREST," and
this applies to all banks whether incorporated
or not.
Don't you see that, in a bank doing both
savings business and regular banking bust
ness, every savings depositor strengthens the
safetyfor the commercial depositor-and every
commercial deposit weakens the safety for the
savings depositors3
The Citizens Savings Bank accepts only
savings accounts and all its loans are made on
good improved realty or other equally safe
collateral security.
We solicit your savings account

SEVENTH WARD MEN

THEY DON'T WANT THE RED
LIGHT DISTRICT ESTABLISHED
NEAR THEIR HoMES-A MORAL
MENACE.

A score of men residing In the Seventh
ward met informally at Avenue and
Twentysecond street last night to dis
cuss the proposed establishment in that
ward of what is to be known as 1.-The
Red Light District" Speeches protesting
against the proposition were made by H.
A. Tompert. G. B. Burkholder. M. l.. Nc
Allister and r. w. Massey A commit
lee consisting of the first three gentle
men was appointed to draft resolutions
of protest. The committee, at the close
of the meeting, drew up these resolu-
tons:
Whereas, the newspapers state that
the north end of tie Seventh ward Of
the city of Birmingham is to be set
aside, and used for and known as the
red light district of the city; and
Whereas, the Seventh Ward Citizens
club has appointed committee to pro-
test against this proposed action; there
fore.
BE 1t resolved, That we, the members
Of the Seventh Ward club do hereby en-
ter our vigorous protest against the es-
tablishment of the red light district in
the Seventh ward; and
BE it also resolved, That we regard
this proposition as menace to the peace
and morality of our homes and to the
security of our property"
Mr.. McAllister, in commenting last
night on the action of the club, said:
Our people are indignant and they
intend to be heard on this question. 1t
If true that pur citizens are not as
wealthy as those rho live elsewhere in
the city, but they nevertheless love their
homes and their families and are as
anxious about the welfare Of their sons
ard daughters as are any other men in
town. 1t Is an outrage I, place this cess
pool of immortality in our midst. We
do not want our children to be confront
ed with this evil in their moments of
recreation or while on the way to school,
We shall fight the proposition with all
Our might

serious consequences but for the
prompt action Of the mate Of the YES
sell
The fire started In heap Of sacks
that had contained nitrate. These
were thrown In a pile on the fore
castle and ignited by spontaneous COM
bustion. The mate Of the vessel dis
covered the smoldering fire and at
once took the sacks on deck, where
the flames, famed by the wind, threat
ened for a moment to spread. A fire
alarm was turned in but by the time
an engine and hose.oart arrived the
flames were put out.
The vessel had about 5000 tons OF
sugar on board at the time. and a fire
would have been disastrous.
Owing to a mistake in counting the
fre-whistles, the patrol'wagon full OF
officers was dispatched to Waikiki.

FLOWER MARKET IS
A seine Of COMBAT

Even fower-selling, mildest of occu-
pations, cannot quell the natural pug
nacity Of some peoples dispositions.
AS result Of the above truth Akoni
Wo, a Hawaiian with dash Of Chi
nese blood in his system, was locked up
Wednesday on a charge of assault and
battery.
Akoni Wo and his wife, Kopaea, were
peacefully constructing leis on the
shady side of Hotel street near Fort
about 1880 yesterday when Ko-
paea incurred her lords displeasure
in some way not yet learned. Akoni
upbraided his wife, she protested
shrilly, and soon quarrel was In full
blast. Akoni, finding that he was get.
ting the worst Of It in the matter OF
words, resorted to a stronger argument
by striking his wife full in the face
knocking her down and bruising her
badly. At this juncture Police Officer
Kalaluhi arrived on the scene and plac
ed Akoni Wo under arrest. Kopaea's
face is bruised and cut about the NOSE
and mouth, but otherwise she appears
unlnjured.

BEWARE OF swINDLER.

A Clever Bad Money Artist operating
In the Northwest.
A clever bank swindleI who has been
working under the name of Charles
Sergeant, and who has so far evaded
arrest, is supposed to be somewhere
in the Northwest, and all banks are
being notified to look out for him.
Sargeant's scheme is said to be a
new one. A day or two before his
arrival in city one or more of the
banks get telegram from some we'll
known Eastern banking house, read
ing as follows:
Honor Charles Sargeant's check
against us for $50"
The bank, of course, places the tele-
gram on file-and when Mr.. Sergeant
appears the next day with another
telegram addressed to himself, saying
the money has been placed to his
credit in the bank, the cashier, nine
times out of ten, pays the money with
out question.
1t is said Sergeant has cleaned up
several thousand dollars in the last
few months The Pinkertons have
been called to work on the case.
Sergeant is an American, % years
of age and weighs 1876 pounds, has a
dark complexion, and is dressed like
well-to-do business man.
