made yesterday at some of the sites

more than usually busy now.
In the residence sections of the city

The frs. half of the local basketball
series was finished last night, leaving
Reds and Fellows tied for first place and
Whites and Blues tied for second and
last place. 1t is still possible for any
team to win out in the next three weeks
of the SERIES Fellows defeated Reds %
to 9.
Blues won their first game last night,
and won with a vengeance, running away
from White 81 to u. Berry played re-
markable game, making In all q points.
He was assisted in this in a negative
way by Mcbride, who was guarding him.
The latter IS a splendid athlete, but is not
yet on to the technique of the basket
ball game. Jack Biddle also played well,
making II points, Street 8, Braxton 2
and Burley 2. This was the first game of
Easy Street, the famous Auburn tackle.
He played well considering his newness at
the game In all Blues made ID fouls.
Eugene Jones made points for Whites
but his team was too much on the defen-
sive for him to play his usual game.

Reds l.. Spencer made points, Shute 3
and Phillips 2 and in all they made 10

contested game, very stubbornly but rag

way Shute was smothered, being held
down to 8 points only The lineup was as

Last nights work demonstrated that
while there are any number of good in
diyidual players in the Athletic club. there
is woeful lack of team work. and. there
was scarcely any skillful passing.
This causes many of the critics to think
that the Athletic club will have hard
time winning from the fast Tulane team,
which plays here next Tuesday night.
The clubs regular players are all dis
organized as a team, as they are playing
on the various local teams, and 1t will
take some hard work to whip them into
shape with only today and Monday to
practice.
on top of this comes the news thai
Tulane has a very fast, we'll trained
team, and il this is the case, the B. A. C.
will have a hard time. Tulane defeated
Pensacola Thursday night SS to 8. and
won the admiration of that town by their
splendid work.
Tulane played at Alabama Polytechnic
institute last night at Auburn, but 1t
was impossible to learn the outcome last
night. Local rooters think that Bob Ware
and Charley Woodruff were able to save
the game for Auburn, but this was all
guess work.
Tuesdays game should be a good one.
Reserved seats are now on sale.

AFTER THE WARRANTS.
The Police VIII Arrest AbIe-Boded
Iders.

The order issued by Chief of Police Wier
to the effect that all Migrants and able
bodied men who will not work be lodged
IN Jail has had the effect of driving this
class to seek secluded spots. Although
the police are said to be diligently watch
Ing but few arrests have been made.
The order WAS prompted by the personal
observation of Chief Wier, whose atten-
ton was called to the great number of
young fellows who do not appear to have
any employment in spite of the fact that
labor scarcity is the cry in the Birming-
ham district.
The new rule means that they must eth
er go to work, get out of town or go
to Jail.

GETTING READY FOR
THE Big GATHERING
COMMITTEES PREPARING FOR
CONVENTION OF MASTER PAINT
Frs AND DEcoRAToRS-BE-
TWEEN 1900 AND 1000 VISITORS.

Arrangements are progressing in a sat
isfactory manner for the reception and en-
tertainment of the delegates to the con-
vention of the International Association
of Master Painters and House decorators,
which will meet in Birmingham next
month.
The several committees in charge of the
different branches of the preparatory work
are all actively engaged, and it was stated
yesterday afternoon that the success met
so far was even beyond the brightest
hopes of the workers.
There have been many responses re-
ceived to the letters sent out request
ing the names and addresses of persons
who will take care of some of the dele
gates during their stay in the city. The
lack of sufficient hotel accommodation
made this step necessary, and 1t appears
now that there will be little more diff
fculty experienced in that regard.
Each day the members of the commit
tees are receiving more letters from dele
gates asking about the plans made, and
these are being answered as fast as they
come. There will be between 1900 and 1000
strangers in the city in attendance upon
the Convention.

the best soldier He is ambitious, wants
to see the world, is glad of the change
and knows how to live in the open air.
The life is such a novelty to him that the
three years he is compelled to serve
passes rapidly.
"As a matter of fact, the United States
troops are better fed, clothed and paid
than any army in the world. The quar-
tiers are commodious and the soldiers are
compelled to keep themselves scrupulously
clean. The thrifty man at the end of an
enlistment can easily save from $500 to $4o0
out of his pay. He has no occasion to
spend any part of his money except FOR
Inquiries, and If he cares to deposit the
money with the paymaster he is allowed
per cent on all deposits.
and yet men desert every day, despite
the fact that they know If caught they
will spend from one to two years in
Leavenworth prison. Kansas, and all back
pay taken up.
1.-THE government offers bounty of $50
on all deserters caught, and this, coupled
with the fact that the identification of
any man can be established beyond a
shadow of a doubt, accounts for their
nearly always being caught.

Heiser, the director of health, says eight deaths from cholera were registered in that month in Manila, all victims being Fillpinos.
 In discussing cholera in other provinces Dr. Heiser says:
 ''9Hhis disease is at present confined to the provinces of Laguna. Cavite, Bula- can and Pampagna. In Tanauan, Batan- gas, after the occurrence of seven cases and four deaths, 1t has been eradicated and in the province of Risal 1t Is at pres ent decreasing. In Hagonoy, Bulacan, there occurred rather serious out break and a sanitary inspector was sent there by this bureau to cooperate with the local officers in combating the dis ease, which was finally brought under control.
 The total number of deaths from cholera was reported as 200 out of 3S7 cases The greatest number of deaths was in Cavite, 113. Bulacan province came second with 80 deaths.

Manila, July 3.-Cholera of a virulent type has broken out among the natives of Manila and surrounding provinces. Four Americans in Manila have been stricken to date, and there has been one death of an American, that of Charles Sheehan. Twenty-one cases and sixteen deaths have been reported today. The pro vnces report twentysix cases and twen- ty-fve deaths. The disease is one of the most deadly types
 The suburbs near Fort Mckinley have been quarantined. There has been one death of cholera among the soldiers, that of a cook, Christian G. Dwight of Com pany C, Sixteenth infantry The health borough is taking every precautIon to pre- vent the spread of the disease.
 A circular has been distributed among citizens warning them of the danger and requiring that precautions be taken.
 While the outbreak is serious the health officials do not look for an epidemic of great proportions. The greatest difficulty is experienced to get natives to report cases of sickness. The Filipinos fear the health officials and are concealing cases from them. To this cause is assigned the spread of the disease
