COPS IN TROUBLE
CHIEF RONDEAU INVESTIGATING
 AN AGGRAVATED CASE.
Two Guardians of Law Said to Have Held Up Greek Restaurant Keeper

Advertiser Bureau.


 Mobile. Dec 24. Chief of Police F. T, Rondeau Is busy today making an investigation Into rumors that are current on the street today of drunkenness and extreme ms- behavior on the part of two patralmen on the night shift at an early hour this morning.
 No action has as yet tesn taken. but the chief has started in to locate the foundatich. lf there be any. for the rumors. and It Is probable that If he finds the stories of misbehaVior are not entirely unfcunded. there will be some vacancies in the police force.
 Et Is said that the two policemen. about o'clock this morning. while in- toxicated, went Into Greek restaurant or Royal Street, and forced the man In charge to turn over LO them certain articles they desired, and also some money, with which they went to a nearby saloon and purchased stlll fur- thor quantities of the spirit that cheers.
 Later on. the two men had drunk en row on the streets, and each took a shot at the other with hts revolver, but fortunately neithAr the policeman nor any one else, was injure,l. due in large measure to che unsteadinsss of their aim and the deserted condition sf the streets at that hour.

Greater Mobile BIII.

The details of the hill that is to be introduced In the legislature extend- Ing ehe limits of the city of Mobile. so as to include the large population that now exists In the suburbs within the legal confines of the city. have not yet been decided upcn. The exact limits that will be set have been the subject of considerable discussion at various conferences that have been held be- tween the members of the Mobile Coun- ty delegation to the legislature and the city officials. but no agreement has yet been reached.
 So great indeed is the diversity of opinion among those taking an active interest in the matter Nthat a number of bills have been suggested. AS the limits must be extended through pri- vate or local bDi, lt will be necessary to give public hotlce by publication of the approximate limits that the bill Win set for four weeks in advance. In order to comply with this legal re- auirement. @ number of notices. each setting forth the terms of a bill set ting 6 different limit for "Greater Mobile" have been published, and It is expected that after the proper limits have been agreed upon, they will con- form to one or the other of these mo- tIces.
 There has been but little Increase in the population of the city of Mobile. as defined by the present. city limits, dur Ing the past few years. the growth of the city. which has been great. having been almost entirely In the outlying precincts. The last census taken by the Federal Government showed pop ulation for the city of less than u50,OO0, and 1t Is not believed that the~ same territory in 1910 would show very heavy increase. notwithstanding the great growth that has taken plhce.
 With the extension of the cIty limits. as proposed, however. aIl the outlying suburbs would De taken into the city proper, and the next census would show probably doubling of the population within the decade, and perhaps more Such u showing would result In lm- measurable benefit to the city, from commercial and industrial standpoint as well as in many other ways
 1t Is because of this great showing of increase in population. to Which the city Is entitled by her growth m. re- cent years, and the attendant benefits that Mobile Is making such an effort to have the limits of the city eNten4ed by d Greater Mobile" bill in the com ing session of the Legislature,
