BANANAS ARE TABoOED

montgomery, August S.-(Special. )-The Birmingham Age Herald became an inno- cent cause of controversy in the Mont gomery city council last night at the regular session and today at the ad- Journed session. The feeling against birmingham for quarantining Montgom- cry furnished the cause and a motion to advertise for bids for street paving in local papers, the Atlanta constitu- tion ana the Birmingham Age-Herald the occasion. On motion it was decided to cut out the Birmingham paper because of the quarantine.
 The matter came up on motion to re- include the Age-Herald in the list at the adjourned meeting today, motion to that effect being made by Alderman ] Kirk Jackson who is also private secretary to the governor MT. Jackson insisted on his motion, saying that he knew that there were no citizens more loyal to Montgomery than the correspondent of the Age-Herald, and he hoped the conn ell would not be so unjust as to show this feeling by punishing a paper that mad been a friend to the city and its people under all circumstances. Besides. 1t was a business matter. If ii was to the best interests of the city, which is now staring a deficit of S75,OO0 in the lace, to have the advertising placed in Birmingham it was the duty of the coun- cil to see that it was done
 Lobman Is Sore.
 Alderman Lobman, of the wholesale dry goods house of Steiner, Lobman & Frank, insisted on his contention of last evening, to exclude the Age-Herald. He said he would make fight for the reso- lution as it was amended, and he did not want to have anything to do with Bir- mingham at all. feeling that Montgom- cry can very well get along without the city or its people. | Alderman Gunter then settled the mat ter in the introduction of a motion that the advertising be confined to local pa- pers only, which prevailed
 The trouble seems to be that the com mercial men of the city have the idea that the people of Birmingham are keep ing up the quarantine because of trade interests, by that means keeping Mont gomery merchants from getting business that they do get usaally but cannot reach now because of the inhibition.
 Alderman Going made a motion which was adopted, that no more bananas be shipped into the city before frost He thought this necessary to the protection of the city. The motion first looked to only carload lots of bananas but, on mo- tion of Alderman Sullivan, 1t was ex- tended to take bananas in any amount. A committee was named to report to- morrow night advising on the question of whether the city will establish a quar- antine in addition to the state or not, the action being thought necessary by some.
 No More Fever.
 There Is nothing new in the fever situa- ton and the doctors have quit holding meetings believing that there is to be no spread of the malady here The people of the city feel very kindly to Atlanta and those cities which have not quaran- tined, as they have aerved as a good influence to keep down such action in other sections.
 The one patient is doing well at the emergency hospital and will be able to get out in due time The city is grow ing shaky of some of the towns where fever is thought to exist and there is a very determined sentiment to have the quarantine regulations drawn closer for this reason. The matter was up at a special meeting of the city council at noon today, and was also discussed at the regular meeting last night The fear is that some of the New Orleans refu- gees will get into the city via Atlanta or other points which have not quarantined.
