Ordinance Passed by Super
visors Forbids Exaction
Of Money From Refugees
PENALTY is FIXED

The Board of Supervisors passed to
print yesterday the ordinance designed
to prohibit the Relief Corporation from
pying cottages in public parks.
The proposed ordinance makes it un-
lawful for any person or association
other than a duly elected or appointed
city official to exact rental or moneys
for any purpose whatever for the use
of houses located on public property.
The penalty for violation of the ordi-
nance is fixed at fine of $500, or i'm
prisonment for six months, or both
such fine and imprisonment
The committee on charities and cor
rection filed the following report on
the matter, which was adopted:
meeting was held by your COM
mittee for consideration of this matter.
and due notice given to all parties in
terested. Oscar Cooper appeared on
behalf of the San Francisco Relief and
Red Cross Commission and declined to
offer any testimony or other evidence
relative thereto, In accordance with the
ceived from Rudolph spreckelss Chair
man Of said commission of the Relief
and Red Cross Funds; that no atten-
ton should be paid to said complaint
tee should be ignored concerning the
same. Certain witnesses appeared on
behalf of the refugees and were duly
examined and testified that number
of unauthorized persons, acting upon
behalf of the committee of the San
Francisco Relief and Red Cross Funds
evicted a number of occupants from
their houses by force and violence
without regard to their health or safe
ty and subjected them to great hard
ship and exposure, and serious com
plants were made as to the harsh and
cruel manner In which the refugees
were treated who could not pay rent
Supervisor Kelly said that some
refugees had been evicted from their
cottages because they had testified as
to the conditions existing in the camps
and the harsh treatment to which they
had been subjected Kelly said it
might be necessary for the Health
Board to take strenuous measures to
enforce sanitary measures in the camps
and sharply criticized J. D. Phelan for
asserting that the Supervisors had no
authority or power to prevent the COL
lection of rents.
Gallagher characterized the collection
of rents from unfortunate refugees as
outrageous and unjust and declared
that the Relief Corporation should not
collect Sc per month for a shack with
100000 of relief money untouched in
the banks Gallagher took occasion to
defend the municipal administration
from the attacks to which ii has been
subjected.
The petition of the United Refugees
for permission to erect their own cot
tages upon unimproved portions of GER
tain streets was referred to the street
committee.

Anniston Deafen in Game
 Againsf High School Team

The Birmingham High school even was too much for the football squad repre- senting the Alabama Synodical college of Anniston yesterday afternoon, the score being 10 to 0, with the locals having the big end of the argument.
 The work of both teams was good. Flo the High school, Captain Estes head work was excellent on all occasions. Tine defense of the line was very good. Guar terback Haley handling of the ball was clever and his 40-yard run for touch down was one of the features. All of the trick plays worked we'll Streit, al though in bad condition, when he entered the game, was like a stone wall in the defense and he and Wittichen frequently broke through the opposing line. Herz- field made the first touch down on line bucks.
 For the Anniston aggregation by far the most brilliant player was Stickney the fast right end His work in recov- ering side kicks was almost phenomenal Captain Lacey played hard. consistent game and Collins work at left tackle was beautiful. These three mne will some day make any university eleven good men. The Anniston team worked the

TO THE PUBLIC.

The Birmingham Railway Light 6 Power company must ask the kind n- diligence of the patrons of the cars and the users of electric lights during the first two hours of darkness every even ing.
 We are unable to give the public proper service during these two hours on account of the crippled condition of our boiler house. This is in no way any faul. of ours, as our contract for boilers and other boiler house apparatus made sufficiently long ago to have been com pleted before now, but on account or Gn- avoidable delays on the part of the man ufacturers and the railroads, we arc forced to ask the kind indulgence of the public.
 We are working day and night with all the men that We can possibly procure and have in the last four days paid s1370 % express charges on four pieces of appa- ratus for the boiler house and have or dered other parts. which will cost over s20Oo.00 express charges. in order that we may save only a few days delay-the difference between freight and express goods from the manufacturers.
 The public may rest assured that we are doing everything in our power to relieve the situation and will greatly ap- preciate their kind indulgence in the meantime. Respectfully.
