PAY FOR FRANCHISES
CITY WILL ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR USE OF STREETS.
Must Have Some Returns From Grant to Street Railway to Operate Cars on Jefferson Da-
 wis Avenue,

The first tangible evidence that the Jackson ordinance providing that the people of Montgomery will receive some benefits for valuable franchises given by the City Council was brought out at the regular meeting of the City Council last night. when the joint Committee on Franchises and Privi- leges and Streets reported on the peti- ton for a franchise out Jefferson Da- wis Avenue by the Montgomery Street Railway. ~: .+ *-- -..
 It will be remembered that this or dinance was passed some months ago by the Council, but was vetoed by Act ing Mayor Mcintyre on the ground that no egress was given country wagons entering the city from the southwest ern side. ".@ ...
 Later the Jackson ordinance was passed. providing that corporations must pay the city some of the profits for franchises granted.
 The matter came up last night, when the joint committee reported a substi- tute ordinance. At the same time, AL derman Jackson, chairman of the joint committee, introduced a resolution for the Mayor to advertise for bids to be opened the first Monday in September in order to ascertain what part of the profits the company receiving the fran chise was to render the City Council. The resolution was adopted.
 In the meantime the ordinance will lie on the table until the bids are opened. The city has the right to re- tect any or all bids.
 The same action was taken in ref erence to the Montgomery Street Rail- ways application for a franchise on Union Street.

Deatb of Mrs. Fannie Yancey.

Brownsville (Tenn.) States-Graphlc.
 The Death Angel has been busy of late among our older citizens, and no death has been sadder to record than that of Mrs. Fannie Yancey, who passed away Tuesday afternoon at the home of her sister, Mrs. R. Y. Moses, after an illness of several months du- ration.
 Mrs. Yancey was born in 1895 in this county, and all her long and useful life of 70 years has been spent in Browns vile and vicinity. As Miss Fannie Nicholson she was a belle and a beau ty-a member of a family that for nearly a hundred years has held a prominent place in the annals of Hay wood County. In her early girlhood she joined the Baptist Church and was until the end a consistent member-a regular attendant at its services. and a liberal contributor to all its causes. She was an especial friend to strug- gling young ministers. and gave gen erously to their needs; she was loved. too for her transformations charity among the poor.
 She was twice married and widowed; she was loving mother and model step-mother; she reared two families of step-children. and possessed their warmest love and gratitude while life lasted.
 The end came as she had wished, very calmly and peacefully. During her last illness she spoke often of death, and longed for the happy release from suffering. She Is survived by two sons, MT. Phil Yancey, of New York, who was with her at the last, and Judge William TaIiaferro of Texas, and by two sisters. Mrs. R. Y Moses and Mrs T. H. Norvell of Hanley.

WORK OF SANITATION
BIRMINGHAM IS DETERMINED TO
 KEEP CLEAN.
Executive Committee of Alabama State Immigration to Meet This After noon-Many Attend Hill-
 man Funeral.

Birmingham. August 7.-(Specfa1)- The Board of Revenue of Jefferson County today started out force of san itary officers, cleaning up on the out skirts of the cities and oiling pools of stagnant water. J. c. Price Is in charge of the work and he will have ten assistants. There are no chances to be taken and the war on the mosquito will be prosecuted to the bitter end. Mayor George B. Ward of Birmingham today issued proclamation calling on all merchants, citizens and others to give up August 9th as cleaning day. The merchants will be called upon to loan the city their delivery wagons in order to move off the trash. All citizens will be asked to move the trash to their front yards so that 1t can be moved away on the day named.
 All the trains from the South were crowded again today with refugees. One of the quarantine officers had a dis pute with the Pullman car conductor on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad today and a knife was drawn. No in- jury was inflicted by either man, how ever.
 Frank Toe, quarantine officer in charge at this point. appeared in court today against three of his assistants. The cases against two of them were dropped in order to permit State war
 
 | against a third one was changed to dis orderly conduct and a fine of $10 was imposed
 The conductor on a Frisco System | train put off family of five people from Louisiana last week at Gathman, | Miss. and a warrant was sworn out against the conductor. A bond of | $4,000 was required for his appearance at Aberdeen, Miss. on the 14th inst. The quarantine officer working out of Birmingham found the family on the | train and ordered them put off before | they reached the State line, with the ! above result.
 The city oil wagon and street depart ment forces worked hard again today In | cleaning the city. The mayor issued | orders against any and all rain barrels and the police are now making a visit to washwomen's houses to see of they have any such furniture. B. Frank Toe announces that very | few, if any Montgomery people are get ting into Birmingham. Considerable complaint Is made against a charge of $l for the health certificate being issued by the Board of Health. Mayor Ward. when questioned on this matter, stated that he had nothing to do with this. People living at Horse Creek, Adams vile and places wi.hin thirty miles of Birmingham are strenuous in their | complaint at being forced to pay $1 for a health certificate after coming to Birmingham on business in order that they can again board the trains and re- turn home. While there Is a belief that the quarantine against Montgom. cry will be lifted In a few days, noth- ing positive or authoritative is given out as yet.
