ARTILLERYMEN ARE
 COURTMARTIALED
SEVERAL MEMBERS OF CAPTAIN SMITHS BATTERY FINED FOR FAILURE TO ATTEND MUSTER WITHOUT VALID EXCUSE.

The second installment of the court martial proceedings against certain pri- yates of the Brandon Light artillery was held last night in the armory of the battery at the city hall.
 In the absence of Captain Edward D. Smith, First Lieutenant J. Quincy Smith prosecuted the cases and Second Lieu tenant o. H. Fucker, presided over the court
 The case against W. N Blocker, who 1t Is alleged failed to attend muster and drill without an excuse. was heard. After hearing the evidence Lieutenant Fucker decided that a fine of $2 would be just. Blocker gave as an excuse that hc was compelled to work on the night that h failed to attend muster, but he failed to present the proper credentials.
 II. P. White admitted that he was ab- sent from muster without a good ex- cuse and to save the embarrassing po- sition of having to be carried before the summary court, he pleaded guilty and paid g fine.
 R. N. Hawkins thought that he was at work the night he was charged with be- ing absent from muster, but said he did not think 1t possible to prove the asser- tion. A fine of $2 was laid on him. He wanted to know if there was any discount for cash and he received a negative re- ply

J. R. Phillips. charged with selling a short weight ton of coal, was adjudged to be guilty in,the inferior criminal court yesterday and fined s1o by Judge Feagin.
 Ed Smith. the city attorney, was on hand to prosecute the charge. The evil dence was conclusive that the accused was guilty. Judge Feagin had little dif- ficulty in reaching a decision.
 City Attorney Smith was evidently pleased with the conviction. but he was not pleased with the penalty imposed by the court. Inasmuch as the case was the first violation of the coal ordinance, MT. Smith said the court should have im- posed the maximum instead of the min imum penalty. He enforced the idea that if violations of the coal ordinance were to be punished only by imposing mini

MINIMUM PENALTY FOR

mum penalty upon the offenders the city could not hope to root out the evil. He said precedent should be established, anu one that would surely deter other coal dealers who might be inclined to commit similar offenses.
 Judge Feagin was evidently impressed by the pertinency of the city attorneys views. for, after listening to them. the court admitted that the imposition of a heavier penalty would have been wise. Inasmueh, however, as he had fixed the fine at s2O he did not see his way clear to increase it.
 It is understood that other offenders will be given the maximum penalty, all officers of the law being determined to p-t an end to the practice of using short weights.

Cost of Additional Equipment.

Alderman Jones then read from a re- cent issue of The Age-Ferald a statement made by Alderman Gray, showing that the cost of the additional equipment asked for by the tariff association would amount to s4S.20O. The maintenance for one year would be sS7,s1O, making the total cost for the year. for the additional equipment asked for, s136,060.
 Alderman Jones-According to the statement of the Mayor, made recently.

the receipts and disbursements of the city of Birmingham last year were about on a parity. Am I right, MT. Mayor?
 Mayor Drennen-Yes, sir.
 Alderman Gray-Ther1 was a deficit of SSO.O0O last year.
 Alderman Jones--It is true that we can buy a first-class engine on two or three years tlme but 1t mu-t be manned after the purchase is made. The lowest paid fireman in the department receives S6O per month and the cost of maintaining the engine would be almost double for one year the cost of the engine, which woulu be $5,500. I do not see any chance to get lower insurance rate from the Southeastern Tariff association except through lack of business. We are gradu- ally increasing the police and fire depart ments At the last meeting of the city council the purchase of 5,0OO feet of fire hose was ordered.
 Association Appears Oppressive.
 MT. Collins-I think that the South eastern Tariff association appears to be oppressive, but there are some matters to be considered. When a chicken coop is burned In Birmingham other property is destroyed. Just who Is to blame for this cannot say. The merchants of Birmingham would, no doubt. be willing to have their privilege tax doubled in order that an increased fire department and better rating might be secured.
 Alderman Gray--Do you know the in- surance values of Birmingham?
 MT. Moore-Between $1,O00,0O0 and s1, ,5OO OOO for each block in the business section, I think.
 Alderman Gray-If the merchants would haps on 75 per cent of their stock, we would have enough money to provide for an enlarged fire department.
 MT. Marx-Do you believe that property values are the same as stock carried?
 Alderman Gray-Yes; have always been. But am like the fellow who was asked for his opinion with reference to plant ing smaller acreage of cotton. He re- piled that he was in favor of the plan. but would like for his neighbor to start out first.
 MT. Ewing-Perhaps 1t would only be necessary to add more equipment at the central fire station.
 Alderman Gray moved that a commit tee composed of Alderman Jones, MT. Collins and MT. Ewing be appointed to take up the matter and see what the min imum requirements of the Southeastern Tariff association would be In the matter of additional fire equipment. This motion was seconded by Alderman Forney, but was withdrawn before a vote was taken.
 E. s. Moore's Letter.
 Alderman Jones then read the following section of a communication to the editor of The Age-Herald, dated December 13. from E. s. Moore. with reference to the demands of the Southeastern Tariff asso- ciation:
 Granting that the city cannot afford to meet every demand made by the Southeastern Tariff association. then MT. Alex Londons suggestion is the only feasible plan, viz. do those things neces- sary to put the 'congested district'-where the greatest values are-on a first-class basis. Taking the figures of Mir. Gray, chairman of the finance committee. as to what 1t will cost the city to meet the de- mands of the association, let us see what will ha tha necessarv outlay.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-01-18
Opposed to Cutting of License

Alderman Jones-If the association will eliminate the cutting off of the annual license I, for one, will be willing to see what can be done in the matter.
 Mir. Collins-I, too. am opposed to cut ting off the license.
 Alderman Jones-As a matter of fact, t. city of Birmingham cannot afford to put one dollar more In the fire depart ment, but we might take the matter un- der consideration, as we did three years ago, and see what can be done.
 Mayor Drennen-The Southeastern Tar If association has never made us but ons reasonable proposition, and that was accepted.
 Alderman Gray introduced resolution providing for a committee from the Board of Trade to take up the matter and see if a first-class rating will be given for tie business section, provided the in- creases are made in the fire department which was adopted.
 The meeting then adjourned
