 Find the Fastest Route.

Japan is laying plans for a quick mail service and is making tests to determns the fastest routes Birmingham was se- lected one end of the race, Nagasaii Japan, being the starting point. There were two contesting lines, one the Cana dian Pacific route and the other a Japan csc route.
 There were two letters; one was mailed on June 10th and the other on June 16 at Nagasaki, but while there was six days difference in the time of mailing at Nagasaki the letters arrived in Birming- ham only thirteen hours apart; the first one arriving at p. m. Monday and the other at q. m. yesterday.
 Postmaster Carter was requested to certify to the exact time the letters were received in Birmingham, which he did and sent the cards on their return jour ney yesterday. The Japanese govern ment will use the time shown on these return cards as a basis for letting the contracts for carrying their mails.

WANTS FLAGMEN
 TO WEAR UNIFORMS
THE IMPORTANT MEASURE BY AL GERMAN MOORE SEEKING TO STOP GRADE CROSSING AccI- DENTS COMES UP TONIGHT.

The lines are drawing for an interesting meeting of the city council tonight. This afternoon the Judiciary, the finance, the street, the cemetery and the railway com- mittees will meet in the mayors office, and lay the basis for an interesting meet ing
 The railway commttee meets to con sider the resolution introduced at the last session of thd city council by Alder man Walter Moore. This is one of the most important mtasures that has come up for many months, ana will no doubt be passed.
 It calls for a uniformed policeman to be stationed at evfry railroad crossing in Birmingham. Instead of the old crip- ples that are placed at these points at present, they will le hale, hearty men. capable of fiagging | train safely and of making an arrest when the law is in. fringed.
 The cost of the ofcers will be divided among the railroads. If the present rate of salary is not sufficient. the city will see that the men yho have in their hands the lives of hI Indreds of Birming- ham people, are paid according to their deserts.
 The city attorney hts been instructed to draw up such an ddinance, and 1t is probable that it will be passed at the meeting tonight. Hsste is important, in order to prevent aibther of the many grade accidents whidh monthly occur In the city.
 It is hoped that the suburbs where rail- road crossings are dangerous will take up the movement and bee that 1t Is carried out. At the meeting onight saloon ques- tions will come up, aijl no doubt, some of the regulation measuts will be passed.

Lalp7ence Busy m Fight
 For Ami and Shipping BiH

While I have nothing to do with the time nor manner in which the prohibl- tion fight is to begin in Birmingham" said Brooks Lawrence yesterday, "as the Anti-Saloon league never takes hand in that, yet we are prepared to render all necessary assistance when the fight Is on.
 'I propose to give the merchants and business men food for thought and It. erature that will give them reason to see the advantage of a dry town. We have prepared pamphlets that we are using all over the state showing the results accom- plished in other cities. People say Bir- mingham is different from other cities, but I can show where places with just her kind of population have thrown out the liquor traffic and prospered for years. When the fight does start, if in the next few years, we will be in a position to give every man a clean understanding of the situation"
 Just now MT. Lawrence is making ex- tensive preparations for the fight in tho legislature on the anti-shipping bill. All the energies of the Anti-Saloon league will be turned that way and it is claimed

Prominent Men Tell How Build ing Operations Are Set
 Back in Birmingham
EXPRESS SURPRISE AT
 coy. COMER'S ATTITUDE
Lawyers Say Constitutional Provision Is Misapplied and Docs Not Refer to the Law Recently
 Enacted.

According to Judge A c. Howze, Cover nor Conner entirely avoids the issue in discussing the franchise tax question and says that such a statement tends to con- fuse the public mind, for Judge Howze says that the franchise tax and the for eign loan tax are two widely different subjects and that the section of the con- stitution which was quoted has no bear ing upon the foreign loan tax at all.
 Judge Howze yesterday discussed the subjects referred to and said that as he was a member of the constitutional con- vention in 1901 he had some knowledge of the laws upon the question of taxes.
 Tt appears to me- said the judge, that there is some confusion upon this matter which might be cleared up for the benefit of those interested. If Governor Conner meant to discuss the franchise tax he based his views upon a very different con- ception of the law upon the subject from what those directly interested in the mat ter now hold. In the acts of the legisla- ture directly following the constitutional convention the law upon franchise tax ation is very clearly interpreted and pro- vision was made by that legislature that the law imposing a franchise tax should not apply to corporations loaning money in the state

if the law is not taken from the calendar passed it will be against mighty public voice.
 Every pastors union, and almost every religious organization in the state has prayed the legislature to take this step, and all kinds of influence has been brought to bear on the individual mem bers
 Mir Lawrence will leave Monday for little trip winding up Wednesday at Mont gomery in time for the opening of the July session. The superintendent and the league have many friends in the sen- ate. and every effort will be made to have this bill taken from the calendar. If passed 1t will supplement the local option bills that have been made into law, by forbidding the shipping of liquor into prohibition territory. This will put stop to the subterfuge that, over in Georgia, has enabled the jug trade to take the place of saloons
 In time for the pastors meeting on August B. MT. Lawrence will return. This meeting while executive, will not be strictly secretive, as the papers will bo given all the news in connection with it that could be of any interest

about $3O0, GOO although the figures cannot be exactly compiled for some time. The loss for the other five months in the half year was exactly s42, ,992.s7. The loss for the first six months in 1906 was $9l SO4,20.
 The marked difference in these two pe- rods is because the Chalifoux May berry fire of 1906 did not come until Oct. 1s. The last six months of 1906, however, show larger loss than the period just passed.
 Comparatively speaking, the fire depart ment has never before kept down the loss to so low a figure when the value at risk is considered. While there have been hundreds of fires this year. that might easily have been large. Chief Bennett and his well organized force have done great work. The record of fire losses is carefully kept by Captain Ed Keith, one of the neatest bookkeepers and most gen ial fellows in the city.

June was big month for fire losses. They were fifteen times larger than any other month so far in this year. They were seven times larger than all the other months in this year put together. They were three times as large as during the first six months of last year.
 This is due entirely to the Chalifoux- Mayberry fire of last Thursday. Every year has it's one big fire, and it seems that 1907's came in the merry month of June. It is a peculiar coincidence that the one big fire of 1906 was on the very same corner as that of 1907 in the Chall- foux and Mayberry buildings. Not only in this the case, but the alarm of both were turned in at 12:25 o'clock It took the same length of time to put both out, and the loss in both cases will be about the same.

Dairymen Sued for Back Payments.

The cases of thirty-eight dairymen who are fighting the collection of back license came up in Judge Abernathy's court yes terday. Ten cases were dismissed, twelve were settled and the rest were carried over. These cases are the result of the dairymen refusing to pay the lceu6e placed upon them by the city. The dairy men claimed that it was unfair and joined together in a body In their refusal. The city also entered suit for back license for the last two or three years, and these cases are the ones tried before Judge AhernathY yesterday.

Which gives you a bit Of heartache

The letter you did not write.
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way.
The bit OF heartsome counsel

That you had no time or thought for
With troubles enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness.
So easily IA of mind.
These chances to be angels
Which even mortals find
They come in night n silence.
Each chill. reproachful wrath.
When hope is faint and tagging
And the blight has dropped on faith
Fer life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow Is all too great
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do. dear:
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives o the bitter heartache
