WATER COMMITTEE
 AT A STANDSTILL
THAT RESOLUTION CALLING FOR MUNICIPAL OWN ERsHlP OF WATERWORkS sYs ITEM WILL COME UP.

Alderman B. H. Cooper, chairman of the special committee appointed some months ago to investigate the advisibility of the city acquiring and owning it's own water works system stated yesterday afternoon that it is improbable that the newly framed resolution proposed some time ago will be submitted at the meet ing of the City Council next Wednesday.
 According to the chairman, City En- giheer Kendrick suggested that some changes in the original resolution be made, and it will be some time before these changes can be agreed upon. In addition, J. C. Maben, chairman of the citizens committee, cooperating with the aldermanic committee, is still in Europe, and w. H. Hassinger, vice chairman, SO MT. Cooper states. has been too busy re- gently to give the matter careful atten- ton.
 The new resolution will submit to popu- lar vote at the next municipal primary the advisibility of floating bonds for the acquisition of a municipal water works system

JOKES AND STORIES
 TOLD BY BINGHAM
LOVERS OF SENTIMENT. HUMOR AND PATHOS WILL FIND CON- GENIAL ENTERTAINMENT IN. NEXT LYCEUM NUMBER.

The third entertainment in the Lyceum course will be given tonight at o'clock in the High school auditorium.
 For this evenings entertainment the well-known and popular lecturer, Ralph Bingham, will present a programme of stories, jokes and musical selections well calculated to meet the requirements ot the occasion.
 MT. Bingham Is no stranger in Birmlns- ham, and 1t is safe 10 predict that all who have had the pleasure of attending of his lectures here elsewhere will not fail to be present tonight. while those who have not yet heard him will not al low this opportunity to pass without hearing a lecture which has earned for the lecturer the reputation of being "one of the few thoroughly good entertainers to be met with in a lifetime" His work on the violin is described as being voice breathing forth the emotions of the mas ter's soul.
 The success which has attended the two entertainments already given in this course assures the prospect of even great CT success for this one.

MILK INSPECTOR
 CONDUCTS CRUSADE
EVERY EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO SECURE PURE AND WHOLE SOME MILK FOR THE PEOPLE. SOME ARRESTS MADE.

The crusade for pure milk in the city of Birmingham is being carried on with great determination. Every week the in- spectors make a careful examination of the dairies of the city, and make tests of the milk dispensed from the various restaurants and cafes
 Yesterday Assistant Milk Inspector J. w. Humphreys swore out warrants for the arrest of Peter Paris, proprietor Of the Postoffice cafe, and Albert Fasnacht, proprietor of the Albert restaurant. The charge against these men is that they sold milk which is below the standard demanded by the city.
 "As a whole" said the assistant inspec- tor, sthe milk sold in the city is good much better, in fact, since the recent rigid tests and examinations were inau- gurated However, we occasionally run across an article which does not meet the standard of the city, and in these cases we swear out warrants for the arrest of the parties concerned.

UNI TARIANS ABOUT TO
 START A CHURCH HERE
The Rev. Charles G. Billings to Hold Services Every Sunday Morning
 at Cable Hall

The Unitarian services to be held every Sunday morning at the Cable hall by the Rev. Charles T. Billings are only another indication of the representative growth of our city in all directions
 The Unitarian church has already d con siderable following in Atlanta, Chatta- nooga and other southern cities A repre- sentative Unitarian said yesterday: While the work of this denomination has always shown strongest results in the New England states. where its influence for good has been very marked, the fact that such men as Thomas Jefferson, Ben iamin Franklin, Daniel Webster and John c, Calhoun are regarded as believers in the simple Unitarian fellowship-1n the love of truth, and in the spirit of Jesus Christ, we unite for the worship of God and the service of man'-would seem to commend this movement to all regardless of individual preference for ones own belief, and it would seem almost fore gone conclusion that the present move ment will result in the permanent estab- iishment of hourishlng church, as eise- where"

FLAGMAN STOLE
 MOTHERS CHECK
CHARLES PROCTOR IS BOUND OVER FOR THE LARCENY OF A SAY CHECK FROM S. COOPER. ACKNOWLEDGES GUILT.

Charles Proctor, a nagman on the Southern railway was bound over in the police court yesterday afternoon on a charge of grand larceny It was alleged that the defendant stole a check for S47 from S. Cooper d flagman on the Sea board Air Line,
 The defendant is held to the grand jury. His bond is fixed at $200. He was arrested by Detectives Murphy and Pat ton. In the police court the man acknowl- edged his guilt, After getting the check, he purchased SlS worth of clothing from Louis Saks, and received the remainder of the check in cash.
 It seems that last Saturday night the two flagmen came to Birmingham to- gether. Proctor knew that Cooper had the check and knew that he was unable to get it cashed. In some way he obtained the check, and when it's owner missed it, claimed that he knew nothing about it. Monday Proctor visited several banks of the city in person with Cooper, and the two together asked that the check be not cashed. It was charged and admitted that after the two separated, Proctor bought the merchandise from Saks and retained the balance in change. His ar- rest followed.

uECRO SUSPECTED
 GUILTY OF MURDER
JOHN WILLIAMS ANSWERS DE- SCRIPTION OF NEGRO WANTED IN INDIANAPOLIS FOR MURDER. ARRESTED FOR LARCENY.

In the person of q negro giving his name as John Williams, Detective Sam Hamilton believes that he has in cus- tody John Coe, alias John Cole, wanted in Indianapolis for the murder of a po- liceman.
 The negro resembles the photograph of the murderer. and his height, weight, marks, scars and color of eyes tally ex- actly with that of Coe. The detective will immediately write the authorities in In- dianapolis The negro denies that he has ever been in Indianapolis, but acknowl- edges that he has travelled much.
 The prisoner is charged with the lar ceny of overcoats valued at $100, which were taken from the establishment of Porter & Neal Saturday night. The de- tective traced the overcoats to a pawn shop and subsequently arrested Will Hams. He acknowledges that he will be convicted of this crime, but states that he was led into trouble by other negroes He is insistent in his denial of the mur- der charge. A reward of $70O is offered for the arrest of the real John Coe.

Negro Takes Adbanfage
 Of the Missing Warrant

In the criminal court this morning at 9 o'clock, Walter Cooper, a farmer of Co., lumbus, Miss will be asked to show cause why Lem Hughes, colored should not be granted the right of habeas cor pus.
 In the telling of the story to the court. it is expected that most interesting mat ter will be unraveled. According to Detective Murphy c the police force, MT. Cooper's action in the case, if his information is correct, has practically the same ear marks as the charge which is alleged to exist against the negro. The negro is charged with kidnapping
 However this may be, yesterday about noon MT. Cooper, while awaiting the ar rival of a train, was served with q writ of habeas corpus by Deputy Curl At the time he had as a prisoner, securely tied Lew Hughes, the negro. Asked if he had
