The subject of gambling In Birming-
ham promises to constitute an import
ant part In the report of the grand jury
of Jefferson county now In session. The
rencounter between Harry Haynes and
the late Thomas G. Hewlett, president
of the Alabama club In the Peerless
saloon May 4, is one of the causes for
this investigation by the grand jury
The records are said to show that Haynes
Alabama club.
The deliberations of the grand jury are
in secret and 1t is an lndlctable offense
for witness before the body to dvulge
any information concerning the sessions.
OF course none of the city or county
officials who have appeared before the
grand jury during the past few days will
discuss the testimony they offered. This
is what caused reporter to almost give
up In disgust.
Mayor Ward was morning witness
yesterday.
Whats doing, Mr.. Mayor was asked
of the Chief Executive of the municipality
as he wendell his way down the stairs
from the third floor of the county courts
building.

There are exceptions tn the cundi-

rich men is due to other things than

of its fruits in daily life. 4 speaker
