Parker Thinks It VIII Do.

The aldermen of Birmingham now have n copy of the new municipal code in their possession. and each one is en- Tightening himself on It's provisions. Near Iy all of them will go to MoG zomery to- day, both to work on the Greater Bir- minghnm bills and to investigate the municipal code.
 Alderman John o'Neill is one of those who does not like the provisions relative to Birmingham and stated yesterday that nearly all the aldermen with whom he had talked were of the same opinion. They see no reason why Birmingham should stand in the way of other towns, but as she is the only town of her size in the state, they think she can be left alone without harming plans for other cities,

COMPROMISES IN
 TAX ASSESSMENTS
Cases Are Gradually Being Adjusted and Little Trouble Is Expected
 at Hearing.

The increased tax assessment proposi- ton is rocking along steadily in the boat, with a few waves splashing in every once in a while A few of the cases are set tied nearly every day between Back Tax Commissioner Thompson and the property owner. Of course, there are generally A few devlations from the figures set by MT. Thompson, but the assessments ar riyeed at are in line with the general raise It is believed that when August F rolls around that only about 50 per cent of the cases will remain unsettled.
 Neither MT. Thompsons attorneys nor the attorneys for the real estate associa- ton are resting. however. They are both hard at work preparing their arguments. and each side Is firmly convinced that it will win out. Current opinion also has 1t that the two sides will get together and arrive at some kind of understanding be- fore August P, which will save long, as well as expensive litigation to both sides.

Urquhart Favors smyer Bills.

Representative Urquhart is one of those who fayors the Smyer bills, as he makes plain in the following letter to the edi tor of The Age-Herald
 q notice in this mornings issue of your paper an interview in which I am quoted as saying: If Birmingham would get mad enough to go down to Montgomery with an enormous delegation she coull pass those King bills, having reference to Mir Kings Greater Birmingham meas ures; also quoting me further as inti- mating that although some of us wel e pledged -tu the referendum the bills could be passed in spite of us if Birmingham were sufficiently aroused. I know your representative did not intentionally mis- quote me, but lay all the blame on a very imperfect telephonlc connection, through which instrumentality the inter view was held. In my remarks l did not have reference to MT. Kings bills, but to the Greater Birmingham bills. l had in mind the bills that have already passed the house with the unanimous support of all the Jefferson county members In the house, seven in number, and which are commonly known as the Smyer bills. These bills have been in the senate since the January-Fe February session, and the senate comminttee seem to be under the impression that they are not what js wanted by the people concerned. If they are so minded in reference to the Smyer bills, the terms of which could not be ef- fective except by mutual agreement, in l tI0xr xtrIn he f1anr apt to look with favor upon other bills which arbitrarily extend the city limits without the consent of those to be taken in. In view of all which I am under the impression that the Smyer bills are easier of passage, having already passed the house, than any other measure that would have to again weave it's devious course through the house of representatives q nearly wrote lower house, but Colonel John objects to such a designation, and rightly sol.
 T am confident that the only chance for Greater Birmingham Is for our most representative citizens to arouse them selves and consider each one that 1t is his own particular business and go to Montgomery and camp on the trail, en masse and in detail, of every senator of that august body, presided over by our own distinguished lieutenant governor. Let them know that we mean business, and that we have blood in our eySs. In this way we can back up any effort toward this object being made by our senator, who I am satisfied will place him self in line if he is not there already with the manifest desire of the people of this district
 Thanking you for the courtesy or the publication, and again exonerating your representative from all blame concerning the misquotation, am. yours very truly.
 "w. F. URQUHART.'

Birmingham Will Send Down a Large Delegation Today to
 Work for Larger City
SMYER'S PLAN SEEMS
 ONLY ONE ACCEPTABLE
Bills Have Already Passed the House Unanimously and the Senate Com mittee VII Take Up the
 Subject Tonight.

The Smyer bills, those ill-treated and de- spised creatures, seem about to be resur- rected, and fawned back into perfect ia vor, so much so that fair Lady Birming- ham may refuse the arm of the King bills as maid of honor at her wedding to the suburbs, and will walk in proudly with her old friend, the smyer bills.
 Yesterday a telegram was received by T. H. Motion from Secretary Babb, now al the capitol, stating that a committee will meet in Montgomery tonight for the purpose of considering the Smyer bills, looking to reporting them favorably.
 The telegram also urged the presence of a good crowd of Birmingham people to speak and lobby in favor of the bills He said that unless Birmingham turns out in great numbers the chances will not be nearly so good for passage.
 The apepal of the secretary will not De neglected. MT. Motion will head a large delegation for the capitol this afternoon All the aldermen of Birmingham will probably go down, and everything possible for the passage of the bills will be done It is pointed out that the King bills were only gotten up because the Smyer bills seemed unable to win favor, but now that they are coming back into their once eX- alted position, everything looks brighter
 The Smyer bills contain the referendum which all of the legislators have been fighting so hard for, allowing the subu. bs to vote on the question of union. If they can be passed nearly everyone will be sat- isfied

Moore and Gray Oppose Cod8 Plan But Commissioner
 Parker FaVorS It
MOORE SAYS CITY IS TOO
 BIG FOR ALL TO AGREE
Parker Says There Is No Use for Bin n1ingham to Kick, for the New Idea Is Going
 to Prevail.

"fhe extract from the remarks of North Alabama legislator in this morn. ing's Age-Herald, quoted by the Mont gomery correspondent, does not make me sore,' if the differences of opinion expressed by several Birmingham people does make that objector tired Of it, said Alderman Walter Moore yesterday.
 T stand strictly by the position stated agree with the unnamed North Alabam- ian In the main, he added. T take 1t for granted that he Is willing 10 agree upon any agreement agreed upon by agreeable Birmingham people, but that what he wants is absolute agreement. l am doubtful as to his ever finding that in q great, growing, nervous, hopeful. progressive city like Birmingham. and I can only suggest to our North Ala bama friend that he be patient with us all and listen for yet q while to the views and agreements of all sides.
 One thing is certain and that is that everybody, not only in Birmingham and Jefferson county, but in the state Of Alabama, wants the best legislation pos- sible for the advancement of this city, because every Alabamian Is interested In Birmingham If jealousy of us has ever existed l am sure 1t does not today.
 ny purpose is to go to Montgomery tonight and tomorrow explain in person the motives and the ideas which prompt me in my Ideas of what municipal code should be so far as this city of ours Is

have .-ad with deep interest the views of Alderman Moore on the subject of the proposed municipal code,' said Lieutenant-Goyernor Gray Just before his departure last night for Montgomery
 q may differ with MT. Moore on few minor points, but in a general way I am fully in accord with his ideas. He is q man of fine parts, a student of municipal government. q large taxpayer and a man whose idea has ever been, In public life, the greatest good to the greatest number.
 served for many years with Alder man Moore on the city board and know h.Ll to be a citizen broad In ideas, superb in tact and ever alert to the best inter- ests of this municipality and to the best interests of the state of Alabama. I re- gard him as a real representative man of this city, district and state, and one who helps bear the burden of it's most pro- g@essiye movements"
 That there Is really some conflict of opinion as to the desirability of the new code is shown by the following views ex- pressed by Police Commissioner Tom Parker yesterday:
 'I rather like the newly proposed mu- nici .al code. It draws together these authorities which sometimes go astray from each other and makes unity where there has heretofore been division.
 Tt would be wise for Birmingham to pull together to rid itself of all those clements which are in conflict to elim- inlte double-headed ideas and make one of many. Tn unity there is strength is an old adage and 1t means much. In municipal government 1t Is in common parlance, the whole cheese and l hear tily agree with the general proposition; Let us get together It's no use kick ing, for ths Idea Is going to prevail, not only in Birmingham, but all over the state of Alabama"

Absolute Local Control.

 If they fully understand us and think us fitted to the task of governing our selves In a municipal way and are tired of disagreement on the part of our own people, l shall say Amen to the propo- stion: Let Us alone

Carpio Answered BY foxholm.

Carpio Answered BY foxholm.
To, the Independent The
right side Of the story would
like to make a few comments on
''the other side Of the story" as
appeared in last weeks indie
pendent signed by the Carpio
ball team.
In the first place their side is
very, very weak. and of course it
cannot be otherwise so long as
they keep within the shadow Of
the truth
They do not attempt to deny
hiring the Bowbells professionals
and their lame excuse is that
they did not pay as much for
their services as our expense Of
getting our pitcher here, who had
wired us that he could not come,
and we'll did we know if we had
put another man in the box for
this game, Carpio would be sure
to make a boiler, and that is the
reason why we went after him.
We feel very grateful to the
Carpio News for giving us such
a tame write-up and not as we
deserved, especially since two or
three of US wtr very Ungentle-
manly. And in fact, positively
disgraceful considering the num-
Der of ladies present. OF course
had the ladies been less in num-
Der it would have been entirely
different.
We also readily admit the poor
support given our pitcher on this
memorable day, but alas; poor as
this support was, three Of them
were eagerly sought by the Car
pic manager, to fill out with
''Carpio's six fast players when
the famous Bowbells-C arpio 16 to
0 game was pulled off earlier in
the season.
When we were at Carpio to
make final arrangements the
manager told us as stated that
he was three men short, but
would not spend a cent towards
hiring any players, but neither
would they play kids.
And we told him as Bowbells
did not to bring any kids or far
mers.
Carpio does not deny that they
sent a man here in advance of
the players with a request that
the money be placed at once.
Neither do they deny that
their own players were among
the spectators.
Now as to the rag chewing
there certainly must have been a
few from Carpio similarly occu-
pied, or there would have been
no chewing, hal there been more
from Carpio there would have
been more chewing no doubt,
but of course the Bowbelis and
Donnybrook players were not in
terested as they were hired to
play ball.
If we organize next year we
shall try to secure a manager
from Carpio, one who is equal to
or better (jf such a thing is pos
sible) than the gallant, faultless,
Carpio manager of 1907, One
who can also manage the tongues
of the two or three of us so that
we may refrain from violent Ian
guage while in the field, then our
goal in this world will be reached
and our great success will be her
aided from ocean to ocean and
from border to gulf and the pub
lie will be so deeply interested in
the Foxholm Ball Team.
