LABOR CELEBRATED
 IN VARIOUS WAYS
AUGUST REPORT IS
 MADE BY OFFICERS
MILK FOR MONTH SHOWED GREAT IMPROVEMENT = COL. LlNs THINKS PURE FOOD IS NEEDED IN BIRMINGHAM.

The report on milk by c. A. Collins, chief milk and meat inspector, for the month Of August has been handed Mayor Ward. It shows that the supply has been excellent and the milk of fine quality. According to the report the quality of the milk shows a great improvement. Part of the report is as follows;
 ''The york of the milk inspector for the month of August has been composed of collecting, testing and analysing milk sup- plies, and to visiting and inspecting as many dairies as was possible.
 This report will give an average of A per cent of fat for the total number of milk samples tested for the entire month, which Is a decided improvement in the fat quality of the milk over that month. This clearly illustrates what can be done in the way of supplying better quality of milk to the public.
 ''I mentioned in my report for July that I was tracing a case where milk was being adulterated with boracic acid, and when sufficient evidence was obtained the party doing the violation would be ar- rested and made to give an account of the evil practice, and I wish to say that I think that my statement has been fully verified.
 "Adulterating milk with chemical pre- servatives Is a very dangerous and evil practice. and one offense that is in- excusable. It is very unnecessary to be guilty of such practice as this, for If the milk is properly handled aerated and cooled. It Is not necessary to put such chemicals in the milk to make 1t retain a physically normal appearance!'
 MT. Collins and E. M Duncan who Is directly in charge of the milk inspection, are of the opinion that the city should continue its efforts to secure pure foods. The report goes into detail regarding the food tests made in other cities, and also states that similar tests can be made in Birmingham within a short while. The apparatus for making the meteorological tests has arrived and is being installed.

 WHILE OUT DRIVING
JOHN JENKINS WAS SEVERELY INJURED NEAR WAHOUMA STA TON YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. TRAP TURNED OVER.

John Jenkins, young man, was seri- ously but not fatally injured yesterday afternoon about 3:3O o'clock while out driving near East Lake.
 The accident occurred at the intersec- ton of Louis street and the car line just east of Wahouma station. It is stated that Mir Jenkins drove too close to the car line in trying to avoid mud hole, overturned the trap and caused the horses to run away
 MT. Jenkins was picked up and taken to a nearby residence. Dr. J. R. Collins was summoned and rendered medical at tention. The young man was later taken to his home on North Eleventh avenue In the ambulance of Lige Loy. The other occupants of the buggy two young men and two women escaped uninjured.
 Mr. Jenkins Is employed in the offices of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. His injuries consist of numerous bruises, and 1t is possible that he was injured internally, although the doctors have not arrived at a positive conclusion.

East Lake Casino.

Two immense audiences packed the East Lake Casino yesterday afternoon and last night to witness the Wills com pany's production of "Muldoon's Picnic" :" The Labor Day crowds were even larger than anticipated. with the result that the Casino was crowded to its capacity at both performances.
 The Wills company gave performance last night very much like the musical farces that they have presented here be- fore. There were a number of song spec ialties, several pleasing ensemble effects and the usual amount of comedy. The whistled and shouted and applauded ev- erything and at times waxed very en- thusiastic. James Leslie and Dick Thomas in the two leading Irish comedy roles kept the audience in a good humor and provoked many laughs.
 The most noteworthy features of the evening were, however, the songs of Miss Katherine Elder and the dancing of Ar thur Browning. Miss Elder has one of the best soprano voices ever heard at the lake and her songs are attracting much attention from music lovers. She won an ovation last night with her selections Those who have not seen Arthur Brown ing dance should not miss the opportunity this week. MT. Browning has marvellous control over his pedal extremities and executes many difficult steps.
 .'Muldoons Picnic" will be played again tonight Thursday night Mary and John" will be put on and will run for the remainder of the week. Friday night the amateurs will compete for cash prizes during an intermission in the performance and Saturday night there will be dancing contest between Mr. Browning and we'll known dancer from Montgomery.

WILL RAILWAYS
 SUPPORT COMER2 Report Abroad That Three
 Roads Will be Neutral A. D. LIGHTNER'S VIEWS General Agent of Frisco Makes State ment After Conference at St.
 xafttt o~..AAa..
A. D. LlGHTNER'S VIEWS

It has recently been reported in raii- way and political circles that not few formidable railway influences in the state will either adopt a policy of absolute neutrality in the approaching campaign for governor or openly support the candi- dacy of B. B. Conner for the democratic nomia1tion.
 Among the railways which are report ed to have reached this conclusion are the Louisville and Nashville, the South ern, and the Frisco.
 A few days ago A. D. Lightner, the general agent of the Frisco in Birrning- ham. went to St. Louis wnere he had a conference with prominent officials of the Frisco system. When he returned his at- tention was drawn to the foregoing re- port. MT. LIghtner was asked what was the attitude of the Frisco toward the campaign for governor.
 In answer to the question, the general agent of the Frisco knocked the ashes from his cigar and said quite deliber- ately:
 'In this world each man is given particular work to do. Some are en- 
 the railway business.
 "The Frisco people are engaged exclu- sively in the railway business. They can not be persuaded by any process Of req soning to participate in politics except Tn their individual capacities. They nave always kept aloof from all political en- tanglements in Alabama and other states, and they will continue to maintain that well established policy.
 "The Frisco has no quarrel with the people of Alabama. No friction has ever existed, or ever will exist, between our system and our patrons. All we ask for Is reasonably fair treatment. We have no reason to doubt that state ad- ministration elected by the people and responsible to the people, will vouchsafe to our lines the consideration we deserve.
 "So far as the Frisco is concerned we view with perfect complacency the coming campaign for the election Of gov ernor: and we view 1t complacently for the reason that the Frisco is in every sense out of politics.

MIDDLE STATES REGATTA.
Races Were Interesting, But in No
 Way Sensational.

Philadelphia, September 1.-The middle states regatta over the national course on the Schuykill river was one of the Labor day features of this city.

 There was but one seconds difference between the first and third oarsmen. In the forenoon the intermediate singles re- suited in dead heat between w. B. Klare of Baltimore and F. J. Koch of New York. The race was rowed off in the afternoon and the New York man won easily.

REVIVAL SERVICES.
Special Meetings Lasting Several
 Weeks Will Be Held.

Beginning with the first Sunday in De- tober, series of revival services lasting several weeks will be held at the First Cumberland Presbyterian church.
 The Rev. Dr. l. D. Steele, pastor of the church, will be assisted in the services, by the Rev. F. E. Hendric of Nashville. The Cumberland church is enjoying steady growth and new members are re- eeved every Sunday. On last Sunday eight members were received by the congrega- tion and the letters of five more who were unable to attend were in the hands of Dr. Steele. It Is thought that the re- vlYal meetings will bring many more into the church.

 BIRMINGHAM LINE IS
 FINALLY SELECTED

its lines into the Birmingham region soon.
 Engineers are in the field and a new line has been practically located, which will be much cheaper than those pre- vlously surveyed.
 The road will start from Corinth. Miss, and will go down Bear creek valley, com ing out on the Northern Alabama near Haleyville, Ala. From there 1t will run on the Northern Alabama to Jasper and from Jasper to Birmingham over the Frisco.

This will give the Illinois Central the use of the Belt railroad and all the ter minal facilities of the Frisco, which are ample to accommodate both roads.
 The Illinois Central is now practically controlled by the Hartman syndicate. This means that Birmingham will have a line 10 Chicago and will be on the great international system, and in direct line with the great west.
 There is no question that the Illinois Central officials are in earnest. and great developments are expected at an early date.

 Commissioners Report.
 MT. Underwood read from report of MT. Sargent. commissioner of immigra- ton, which showed the percentage of i- literates among immigrants in recent years. The upshot of the statistics quoted was that while immigrants from the Cell tic and Teutonic countries were desirable. those from the Slavic and Iberic countries Russia, Spain, Italy, Greece and Syria were undesirable. To Illustrate this, he pointed out that of the Celtic and Teu- tonic immigrants, the illiterates amount ed only to per cent, while the Hitter ates of Russian immigrants amounted to 27 per cent and of Italian to 1T per cent.
 Statistics regarding crime, insanity and poverty proved that the Celt and Teuton were more desirable than the Siav or the Iberan. Of the immigrants who had come from Scotland, Ireland. France and Switzerland. only per cent were in the jails. asylums or poor houses. Of those from England Germany and the scandenavian peninsula only 15 per cent, while of the Slavs 25 per cent were pau pers or insane or criminals, and of the tIberic peoples--those from Spain, Italy, Greece and Syria, 47 per cent were in- mates of jails, poor houses or asylums
 From these statistics Mir Underwood argued that care should be taken in the selection of immigrants; the preference being given to the Celtic and Teutonic countries, or to northern Europe. In con- tradlstinction to the Slavic and Iberian peoples who live in eastern and south ern Europe.
 The Home Market.
 In conclusion, MT. Underwood said that in considering the question of immigra- tion the home market sNould be kept steadily in mind. He pointed out that the best consumers of the product of Amer ican labor was the American, and the best market for American foods was the home market. Care should be taken, said he, that no people who would not iden- tlly lHeInSelNeS WllH AintilcdH Ire ana adopt American standards of living should be permitted to enter the United States. The American people, said he should not be forced to tread the level trodden for years by the inferior peoples of backward European nations. The American wage-level should be main tained the American home protected, and American institutions of law and order and progress should be safeguarded. The Chinese and certain classes of Iberic im- migrants were social and economic para sites. They were practically aliens in America. They come here not to help build up the country but merely to make enough money to enable them to return home and live the rest of their lives in the native land The bars should be put up against these classes and kept up, said MT. Underwood What the coun- try needed, and especially the south, was home-seekers and home-builders.
