OLD FOOTBALL COACH OF UNI

Coach Pollard of the Universit: of Ala

rapid teams on the southern college dia-
mond. He is confident of having bunch
that will hand a lemon TO Auburn. and
will succeed in making the university the
athletic college champion of the state.
DIR. Pollard is a great trainer and n
great general. as was shown in the man
ner in which he handled the football ag-
rregation of last season. He originated

BENNIE FINDS NEW
FORM OF CRUELTY
Cows Allowed to Go Without Mikinu
For Several Days in Order That
They May Sell Readily.

Cruelty to animals in the worst form
has been discovered by Humane Officer
Bonnie recently. lie alleges that a num-
Der of the stock yards and dairies around
Birmingham make it a regular practice
to hold a COW for three or four days
without milking her in order that her APP
pearance will be that of a fine COW, Civ
ing quantities of milk
Sometimes, he says, they take a poor,
almost dried up animal, and allow her to
go without milking until her udder is
swollen almost to bursting. They then
take her out ON the streets and show
her off to the public for sale. complaints
of persons who have been fooled by such
a purchase show that the animal is few
erish and her milk is clogged for weeks
afterwards.
Humane Officer Bonnie knows the perpe-
traitors and expects to go after them this
week. Several arrests OF stockyard pro-
prietors will more than likely follow. ldr.
Bonnie intends also to rope in the negro
attendants. and anyone connected with
the cruel practice. The COW is one of the
animals which the Humane society in
tends to rieidly protect.

BNGINEMEN WILL
DEMAND INCREASE
CONFERENCE is TO BE HELD
MARCH 20 AND 1T is SAID 10
PER CENT INCREASE WILL BE
DEMANDED.

All the enginemen of all the south
ern railroads are demanding a 10 per cent
increase in wages. The demand is for 10
per cent increase on switch engines
On March 90 a conference will be held
between the general managers of the va
rous roads and the grievance commit
tees representing the enginemen of these
roads in regard to the demand. 1t seems
almost certain that the demands of the
enginemen will not be granted. although
it is believed that something will be done
looking to a material raise for them.
One or two of the roads have already
granted their enginemen an increase, due
to the increased cost of living. Each
road will, however, settle the matter with
its own men.
1t is stated that an increase of 10 per
cent given the enginemen would recess-
tate similar increase for all other en-
ployes, which would mean millions of dol
lars to the southern railroads annually.
Such an increase would cost the South
ern railway about 100000; the Louis
VILE and Nashville about s2.750.0oo; the
Seaboard about s75o,o00 and the other
roads in proportion.
The railroads will probably show the
grievance committees statements of the
increased cost of operating and the fact
that in nearly every state through which
they operate rates are being reduced by
legislation, and the revenue of the roads
materially decreased as a result.
1t has been stated that the Southern
would grant an increase to its enginemen.

In the matter of rules and regulations,
the Southern league has been the pioneer
in making innovations for the benefit of
the game. 1t was the first to do away
non-reserve contracts, and the first to
adopt and enforce to the letter a salary

OMMITlEE WANTS
TO AVOID PRIMARY
HOPE is EXPRESSED THAT SOME
WAY WILL BE FOUND FOR THE
NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES
FOR POLICE COMMISSION.

The impression that members of the
city democratic executive committee give
out is that If there Is any way to evade
primary for nominating candidates for
the new police commission, that course
will be pursued.
In other words, the majority of the
members of the commission are opposed
TO the primary idea for several reasons
They argue that 1t would be very expen
sive, that birmingham is tired of politics,
and that the campaign would be such an
exceptionally bitter one that it should
be avoided if possible.
On the other hand, the members hardly
know what to do. and state that as far
as they see there is no way of nominating
the candidates regularly and havin,,
their names enrolled regularly on the
democratic ticket save by a primary
Throughout the city, the nti-primary
idea grows stronger and stronger.
1t was learned yesterday that the com.
mittee does not think well of the plan
mentioned by Mayor Ward, City Attorney
Smith and Alderman O'Neill to the effect
that certain time limit be set In which
to receive the names of all would be can
didates, these names to be later enrolled
on the regular ticket 1t is argued thas
there is no regularity in this plan, and
that there is no precedent. The commit
tee meets Wednesday night in the city
hall.

Manager Talks of Coming Season,
Mentioning the Squeeze" Play,
and Other Thines-Hopes
to Succeed.

Manager Vaughn states that he will
pursue his policy of last season. that
the same tactics will be employed again,
and that the chances are good that Bir-

Manager Vaughn has never won pen

he differs from Charlie Frank, Billy

the Barons will do their best, and prophe-
sizes close race. lie does not say that
he will land the rag another time
AS far as / know" stated the vener-
able manager yesterday, we will play
the same old game of last season. We
will not play for individual records, for
we do not care to develop stars. A
bunch of stars never Won a pennant. 1t is
often that the man working to make a
personal reputation will sacrifice the
chance to land d game by trying for a

changed, we will use the squeeze play
again. You remember how successful it
was last season. The Barons will prac-
tice the play and get It down even more
perfect than last season. 1t has won
many a game.

Bond Issue.

Since the announcement that the City
Council had taken the matter under adj
visement as to the issuance of bonds for
school and sewerage purposes, this ques-
ton has been the main topic of CONVEX
sation the streets, and many diff
ferent views are being expressed as to
what the amount of the issue will be.
Everyone seems to favor the movement.
for they realize that the purpose for
which the bonds are to be issued are alb
soute necessities. and that it is i'm
perative that immediate steps be taken
in the matter.
The marvellous growth of the town and
the vast amount of money that is being
spent for real estate, without causing the
least excitement, SHOWS that there is no
boom on. and that the town is in bet
ter shape than 1t has ever been before.
and the city has to take steps to keep up
with the pace so that there will be no
drawbacks TO a continued rapid advance
ment.
Real estate that lies far beyond the
points where the present sewerage ends
is being improved, and handsome resi-
dences are being built. not small two and
three-r room cottages, but large two-story
dwellings, and the owners of such prop
erty are highly delighted with the move
ment that the City Council has taken.
Patrons of the schools fully realize the
crowded conditions and welcome the news
that an effort will be made to relieve
these conditions.
1t is probable that the bond issue will
not be as heavy as was at first figured
on, but an amount large enough to meet
the requirements will be fioated, and the
majority of the citizens feel sanguine
that the city will not meet with much
trouble or delay in disposing of bonds.

Southern Most Perfect
League Woh in Existence


Little Rock, March 0.-(Special.) Pres
ident Kavanaugh has decidedly optimis-
tic views on the coming season in the
Southern league, and thinks it will eclipse
all previous years He lays particular
stress upon the staff of umpires he has
secured, and declares his belief that ii is
better than will work in any other league
this season.
1.-THE prospects for prosperous season
In the Southern league this year are, in
my opinion, better than ever before"
said President Kavanaugh. Each sue
ceeding season in tile league has been
better than its predecessor, and l know
of no reason why the 1907 season should
not keep up that record. and in fact |
believe we will eclipse all previous sea-
sons. The clubs are all backed by strong
financial organizations, and in three of
the eight cities OF the league new parks
are being built Each club is in charge
OF a capable manager. and owing TO the
fact that we have been advanced to
membership in Glass A we were enabled
to retain a greater number of star play
ers than heretofore. not being subject
