City Council sfuddie.


 Tn a brief statement given out this morning, Mayor George B. Ward. an- nounces that the muddie of the Birm- tngham City Council will not affect anything except some street and sewer Improvements which are about to be started.
 He states that every bill will be met and every salary will be paid. The police, fire and sanitary departments will not be interferred with in the least and that everything will be kept moving as if nothing had happened.
 The test of the rights of the alder men who have been working under the new municipal code will be pushed through the courts as quickly as pos sible.
 The old board of police commission today started quo warranto proceed ing in the circuit court against the commission named by the Governor, and of which the Mayor is chairman ex-officio. This will have a tendency to complicate matters as far as the police department go more than ever. As will be remembered Chief of Police Wier declined to recognize the old board but receives and executes orders from the new board of commis- sioners. He was suspended by the chairman of the old board and Captain J. S. Johnson ordered to act as chiei until charges of insubordination could be tried at the meeting to be held Tues day night.
 Captain ohnson stated after receiv. | ing notice that he was the acting chiei that he had taken the oath of office under the new commission and could not serve two masters. | The old board of police commis | sioners will meet Tuesday evening anG | it is expected that another lively tim' will be had.
 The State Fair will open Tuesday and extra policemen will be needed | There is likely to be another conflic between the two commissioners ove | this.

LOTS STAY IN SODOM
noB JONES DRAWS LESSONS FROM
 OLD STORY.
EvanEelist Declares social Advnntage. and Luxuries Cannot Re Taken To the Grave When Death
 Calls.

Rev. Bob Jones preached one of the
 best sermons of the week last night at
 the Auditorium before another of the
 the evangelist almost every night of his stay. The sermon was about Lot and his stay and life in the City of Sodom. Lot took his wife and daughters to Sodom to enter them in the brilliant social life of that famous city--and incidents ally to make money. But some of
 these things he had to leave, his mofiey 1 and children, and fiykfor his life. The evangelist applied these facts to the human life at present., nat does 1t matter what social advantages we enjoy for the moment All or tnese things have to be left at the last hour, when death calls us. and should be sec ondary matters entirely. It is future riches we should look forward to and accumulate by leading clean, pure life on this earth"
 In the morning service the preacher talksa of going out into the deep wa ters of life and viewing the world from
 that standpoint. Tn stormy time the danger to a ship lies ncar the shore. tn.. vision Is also obstructed A man must cut all of the cables that tie him to the shore in order to sail on the dee,s waters. He cannot cut four or five, cables and leave one--he must cut all. The evangelist applied this figure to habit. All evil habits must be broken away from in order to lead Chris tian life
 At the close of both services nuns
 Der came forward from the congrega- tion and promised to try to lead bet- ter lives and break loose from their bad
 habits.
 this morning at II o'clock instead Of at | 10 o'clock at has oeen the custom. l throughout the week. In the afternoe: 1 at 3:30 there will he special aervies \ for men only. which all men are e1f- nc~tIy requested to attend. Tie ain services win be held at .hc asu1 nos :. T:s0 o'clock.

Inspection Causes Clashes

A Situation is believed to b, develop
ing at certain of the city schools as the
result of the drastic methods employed by
the school inspectors of the health de-
partment in the general inspection of the
pupils. In several cases there has been
open rupture between the inspectors on
the one hand and the pupils and their
parents on the other and the comments
of the school authorities indicate that
they do by no means approve of the
methods used.
AS a result of one of the clashes In
spector G. E. NJ. Fisher went on his
rounds yesterday with policeman as a
bodyguard AT the Lafayette school, at
Augusta street and Washtenaw avenue,
on Wednesday he had sent home nearly
half the pupils of the school, telling them
that they were so unclean that their pres
ence was a menace 10 the other pupils
The order was taken as an insult, and so
many of the older boys threatened to
fix" Inspecthr Fisher that he applied for
police protection.
Several parents of children have charged
that physical examinations are made
without discrimination and with unneces-
sary rolighness. In one case father
appealed to the school authorities, de-
ciaring that his daughter had been In
suited when examined as to vaccination,
although she had a physicians certincate
