In which they are instructed in some of the
hardest feats of horsemanship.
The drill. under the direction of Lieutenant G.

erect upon the backs of his mounts. No saddles
are used. their places being taken by army

horseback. mounted basketball games. pyramid

A Tribune reporter talked the other day with
I. member of the Sd about the drill. Said he:
-Hurdng, even when seated in the saddle is
hard enough but when standing erect on the
horses back il seems hundred times worse.
There is that sudden lurch when the horse goes
into the air. l cannot describe it To the begin
ner seasickness cannot compare with it And
then there is the shock when the animal strikes
the ground again More than one man has gone
over the beasts head through failing to brace
himself properly against that shock
Roman riding is no joke either. Ever play

President Maben scohs At Idea Tint Trade War Can Bring Him Back
 To the Original Agree

Birmingham. June 21---ISpecial)- )-- The break in the iron market as to ouo- tstions. has caused considerable com ment throughout the Southern terri tory
 There is but little verificatlon that any iron has been sold in this district as low as SIS per ton, No. 2 foundry. The Slogs-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com pany denies emphatically again that th cir prices have gone under S13.50 ner ron. It is admitted, however, by that company that they have deserted the agreement formed sixty days ago, but that proper notice was given last week of the withdrawal.
 President Maben laughs. at the idea that trade war would force them back into the agreement or would bring about a sale of stock so that a control ef the company would change hands. He asserted today that if the Tennes- sec Coal, Iron and Railroad Company and the Republic Iron and Steel Com pany had sold iron at SIS they had sold ft at an unnecessarily low price. He stated that his company had, sold a large quantity of iron at $13.50 per ton, No. foundry basis, and that trades were pending for much larger amount.
 Col T. c. Bush, president of the Ala pany. gave the opinion that no iron had been sold at S12,

Chief of Police.
 Birmingham, June 21.--fSpecial. )-- George B. Ward, Mayor; W. E. Wier Chief of Police; Joe Nix, police officer ard B. A. Pepperman, secretary of the Mayor. have been made defendants in contempt proceedings taken out this morning. by Wade Mothershed before the Clerk of the Circuit Court Attorney Gaston Represents the defense.
 The petition alleges that the said de- fendant& are guilty of contempt owing to the fact that they evaded detinue papers which had been taken out to hold certaia gambling paraphernaiia which had been taken by the police in raid on rooms in the Metropolitan Hotel.
 It further alleges that Mayor Ward and W. E. Wier were aware of the fact that detinue proceedings had been in- stituted before they ordered Officer Nix and Secretary Pepperman to destroy the said property.
 The contempt proceedings are based on the issuirg of the detinue papers some days ago. The papers have been delivered to the Sheriff and will be served the defendants this afternoon.
 The proceedings grew out of a eer- tain raid made some weeks ago by sev- eral officers of the police force on rooms in the Metropolitan Hotel. At the time of the raid it Is understood no parties were caught gaming but several articles generally used for gam ing were taken in charge. These ar ticles consisted ot a roulette wheel. one dice rack. one diceI cloth and 100 dice {. The morning following the said raid the material was destroyed by city of- ficers in accordance with a city ordi- nance.
 Attorney Gaston. representing Wade Mothershed. who laid claim to the property. took out detinue papers for the recovery of tho goods. but before the papers were served it is stated the property was burned. The affair at the time caused quite a deal of interest as great excitement prevailed as to whether or not the property had been destroyed. Mayor Ward states that he was enforcing a city ordinance when he ordered the paraphernalia burned
 Since the recent raids on gamblers in the city this is the first time de- tinue papers had been resorted 10 and inasmuch as this attempt to recover the property failed contempt proceed ings were taken up It was stated this morning by Judge Gaston that this was onIy the beginning of severap pro- ceedings that will be instituted in- vplving the same matters
