OF the Vote Around the Flsh Market
Solid for Hearst Last Year

SWnu No6 hhoAHuS AAsS ANS'
Among, the Ave or six hundred men en-
ployed in the Gsh business around Fulton
Market the Hearst sentiment, which was
practically solid among them last year.
now holds about two-thirds OF h vote.
The Murphy deal Is the chief cause 0f the
detection.
"You can't tell us that Murphy II for
Hearst, but Hearst Is not for Murphy
said one OF the men. THAT won't go.
II Hearst had let Murphy alone he probably
would have retained the same vote he got
here last year"
Il voted for Hearst last year, but Hughes
is my man this time said the big foreman
OF one Of the fish houses. Hearst Is too
narrow, too selfish. He has a great am
bition; he wants TO be king, and he Will
take up with a man like Murphy to got
there. He has not a broad mind like
Hughes, and I think he would upset things
generally II he ever got into Office
Tom Herbert, in charge OF the American
Express Company's wagons at the market
q strong Hughes q said that ne was
closely associated with the men OF the
market and had seen a big falling on from
Hearst from last year.. He said that ne
would DO willing to wager that two out OF
every three Of the w~orlingmen and eight
out Of ten Of the bosses were for Hughes.
This estimate was considered too high by
one Of the clerks in the market who IL a
conservative Hearst man. The latter said
that while it would be favoring Hughes to
split the vote Of the market evenly be-
tween the candidates fully a third OF the
men were for Hughes. He also said that
many Of the Hearstites would vote Tor
Hearst apologetically and implied hat II
the men had more time in which to get to
know Hearst better his following might
be reduced. d,
Ont of eighteen men talked to one-third
were Cor Hughes. They all were for Hearst
last year.

PRECAUTION TO
 PREVENT TROUBLE
MOVING PICTURES OF THE CANS NELSON FIGHT AT THE NEW GAYETY ARE TAKEN OFF BY THE MANAGEMENT.

At the suggestion of Chief of Police Wier. Manager McArdle of the New Gay ety theatre, and c. E. Relyea, manager of the Rose sydell company, have discon- tinued the moving pictures of the Nelson Cans prize fight for fear of arousing race prejudices
 At the conclusion of the fight Cans, who is a negro Is given a decision over Nel- son, a white man. When the pictures were presented at the theatre the negroes grew demonstrative and after conference il was decided not to present them further
 Manager McArdle said last night that the theatre would probably lose several hundred dollars on account of not being able to use the pictures, but that he would rather lose the money than have any trouble in the theatre.
 "I am trying to run an orderly theatre one to which any man, woman CT child may coms and feel entirely safe. and foi that reason I agreed readily to tine sug- gestion of the chief of police that we cut the pictures out" said MT McArdle.

 Be AZZObed in the City

respectfully submit for your consideration the following:
 In the interest of good government and the peace of the community. l recommend that the above mentioned play be not al- lowed The play has a tendency to inhame the passions, and 1 believe that present conditions will not be bettered by its pre- sentation. This is particularly appropos owing to racial troubles in a neighboring state and public welfare will be better served, at this time, by the suppression, in the initiative. of all factors having an inclination to disturb peace and good or der.
 Assuring you of my highest considera- tion and trusting that the foregoing will be favorably received, meet with your ap- provaL and action taken accordingly, 1 am, very respectfully,

 Congestion.

 We. the undersigned attorneys, hereby join in call for a pubic meeting. of all the lawyers and judges in Jefferson coun- ty to be held at the court house in the room occupied by the first division of the city court of Birmingham, Saturday morning.

At the Jefferson.

Probably no one realizes more complete ly than player the difficult task of tak- ing up play that has already been suc- cessful vehicle for popular star and att tempting to duplicate her success the fol- lowing season Last year Viola Allen ap- peared in Clyde Fitchs drama of the Georgian period, "The Toast of the Town" She won praise and applause as Betty Singleton, giving performance that added another triumph to her long list of successful portrayals on the stage. This year Jane Kenhark Is starring in the same play, with the same production, and so effectively that she does not suf- fer in comparison with her predecessor.
 As Betty, Miss Remark gave an ad- mirable performance at the Jefferson the atre last night. She was womanly and convincing in all four acts of the play. being especially strong in those scenes which called for emotionalism. She made the character of Betty Singleton Ideally feminine and imbued with a grace xat enlisted ones sympathies She met her eli maxes easily and was charming in her love passages. Miss Remarks perform apce stamped her as an artist of the first ability.
 The supporting company, while not es- pecially strong, was satisfactory. Miss Lila Vane as Mistress Roxanna made the best of her opportunities, while Maurice w. Stewart as Lord Algernon Fairfax, a young flop disappointed in love, was very good. Miss Clarke Weldon as Lady Char lottee played the part gracefully and well. Carl Anthony had the important role of the Duke of Malmsbury and gave rather uneven performance, which did not ring

fred easily. The habit is pernicious and should be broken up. The recent action of the City Council in legslating against the operation of pool rooms in connection with saloons will do away with much of this idleness, and will eventuate, in natu- ral ways. in causing men to go to work. The measure adopted by the council is an excellent one"
 The acting Mayor is a firm advocate of the recent appointed excise committee. against which there has developed con siderable opposition. He believes that in asmuch as the specific purpose of this committee Is to regulate saloons, 1t has a strong reason for existing. Ut has a special duty" said MT. Fulghum. while the miscellaneous committee has a gen. eral duty. In view of the Atlanta riots illustrating what might occur in this or any other city, I see wherein the excise committee is needed and needed sorey."

Acting Mayor Talks Of
 EbiZ OC Much ZdleneSs

There is nothing truer than the old say ing that idle men are those for whom the devil finds employment. To idleness l at tribute the recent racial trouble that has caused such terrorism in Atlanta"
 The above remarks were made by Fred A. Fulghum, acting Mayor in ths ab- sence of MT. Ward.
 All this being true" continued the Mayor pro tenn, 'it naturally causes ape to think of the condition existing here. where the scarcity of labor makes good servant or a good employe among the val uable and much sought after things of the day.
 There Is considerable idleness in Bir- mingham, and labbrers and domestic ser- wants are scarce. It behooves the city, therefore, to make people go to work or get out. The congregating of idle ne- groes in saloons and pool rooms is most harmful The effect of this can be imag-

SALARY INSTEAD OF FEES.
Nominee for Legislature Preparing 2
 Bill for Next Session.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The present contest over the sheriff's office in our county is enough to con- vince any thoughtful man that this offi- cial, as well as all the others in Jeff ferson county, should be placed on a salary Several of our county offices pay large sums of money in fees-in fact en- tlrely too large for the public good, and the service rendered. To the end that this condition may be remedied I am pre- pairing bills which I shall introduce when the legislature meets in January plae- Ing all of our county officials, from pro- bate judge to coroner, on d salary. I think the probate judge should receive $50O0 a year, for himself, with sufficient clerks to be paid for by the county like wise the sheriff should receive 5000 a year. and a sufficient number of deputies, to be paid for by the county. The governor of our state and United States senators, as we'll as members of Congress, receive no more than this. This Is sufficient salary. and will get the very best type of men for either office. The clerks of our courts should be put on salaries not 70 exceed $3O00 j. year, with sufficient clerks to ba paii for by the county. Certainly they are worth no more than our judges who receive only 5000 year. Likewise with the collector and assessors offices these should be placed on a salary Of 5000, with sufficient office help paid for by the county.
 The sheriff will be elected in Novem- Der, before the legislature meets, and will serve out his term on fee basis. as will all of the present officials, but their successors can be put on a salary, and Jefferson county will save TO less than $25.000 year, and probably much more, besides avoiding such contess that all of us hope will not soon be witnessed again.
