SALOON DISTRICT
THING OF FUTURE
COUNCIL WILL TAKE UP THE OLD
DISCUSSION AGAIN, 1T is RE-
PoRTED-No DEFINITE INFORM
ALTON POSSIBLE.

A futile effort was made yesterday TO
discover whether or not the aldermen
were considering the districting of the sa-
looms or rather whether or not the coun-
ell intended reviving the old matter
which has been semi officially discussed
on previous occasions
Probably on account of the fact that
Walter Moore, who is said to be the al
derman who will bring up the question at
the next council meeting is out of the city
at present. no definite information could
be obtained. No other alderman in Bir-
mingham knew anything of such an in
tention. or rather did not believe that
it would be brought up at the next meet
ing of the board.
The idea of districting the saloons of
the city was originated several months
ago by Mayor Ward himself and after
some discussion it was not acted upon. It
was thought at the time that the Mayor,
as soon as other pressing matters were
adjusted, would again take up the fight
1t was understood at that time that this
fight would be resumed after the install
lation of the new aldermanic board in
May.
Those discussing the matter yesterday
were of the opinion that the saloons of
birmingham would sooner or later be as
signed to special district but did not
believe that the effort would be made in
the immediate future 1t is said that
such resolution should ever carry it
could hardly become effective until after
the present leases on buildings expire.

OFFICER BENNlE MADE FIVE Ar
RESTS LAST MONTH-SEEkS TO
AROUSE ENTHUSIASM IN GOOD
WORK OF ORGANIZATION.

Bonnie shows that during February he
made five arrests for cruelty to animals.
and secured as many convictions. Three

one with police authority who made an

been called for the 10Th of this month at
4 o clock in the city hall.
Officer Bonnie is seeking to arouse re-
newed interest in the work of the organ
ization. and to bring Birmingham into the
class of other cities along these lines The
the ministers of the various denominations
are being urged to attend, as we'll as
ladies and men who are Interested
Judge Feagin and Mayor Ward will be
present and make short talks. A matter
of special importance which will be dis
eussed is a proposed amendment to the
city code, allowing the humane officer
jurisdiction over cases of cruelty to chit
dren, that he may defend the abused child
well as the dumb brute. These matters
are all of Importance. and a large crowd
is expected to attend.

INCREASE IN IRON
RATE IS POSTPONED
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION GRANTS RAILROADS RIGHT
+ TO DEFER THE DATE OF THE
I 25-CENT ADVANCE.

The interstate commerce commission has
granted the railroads the privilege of
postponng the date on which the increase
of % cents per ton in iron rates shall go
into effect.
Information to that effect was received
in Birmingham yesterday, which means
that the rates will not go into effect on
March 8, the date set The permission is
granted the railroads to postpone the rates
until April l.
1t is not believed that the rates Will go
into effect even on April l, and they may
he postponed until some time in May. IN
less the railroads show some ability TO
move the iron on the yards, it is not be-
1ieved that any effort will be made by
Them to put the rates into effect before
May. -
In February the roads were unable 10
haul the iron on the yards only a very
small percentale OF the stock on hand
was moved, and there is now praeucahy
as much iron on the yards as there
was thirty days ago.
The statement was made some days ago
that the railroads moved only about oo per
cent as much iron in February as they
did in January or in February OF last
year

ABUSIVE LANGUAGE
is AMUSING CHARGE
Foreigner Who Could Hardly Tell His
Own Name Is Sent to
Jail.

John Dembroskey, a foreigner, who can
hardly speak word of English, was ar
rested yesterday for abusive language and
against his strenuous protest was con-
fined in the county Jail.
1t is said the only way in which the
fellow might have done any harm with
his mouth would have been IN telling his
name. When the wardens at the Jail at
tempted to extract his cognomen he
writhed in a continued flow of jabber-
ing.
After blowing of. so to speak, and taxi
ing on steam dozen times or more, using
language which, If not abusive. was GER
tainly delusive, John succeeded In COM
municating to his hearers two names,
Dombroskey and Colmeyer. Which of the
two is his own nobody knows. but he was
docketed by the former with the latter
as alias.
The arrest having been made on charges
sworn out by an American, 1t is hard to
determine how abusive language could
have been charged against John. unless
he went through the same operation of
giving his name that caused so much
laughter at the jail last night.

SOCIETY.
BY ANNIE PERRY REID.
Bell Telephone 1887.
COMPLlM EMIT TO A
YOUNG WOMAN,

The announcement of the engagement
of Miss Alice Louise Moffett to DIR. J.
G. Hopping was made in this column
a few days ago and since that time
verg pretty compliment has been paid
her by her former employers.
Since her school days she has held a
prominent position with the car depart
ment of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road and when she severed her connection
with the office on Thursday she was pre-
scented with a handsome mahogany case
of silver containing every article neces-
sary for the table use. The presentation
was made by Mr.. G. G. Halliburton. and
he made a very beautiful talk on that
occasion
There were about 400 employees who con-
tributed to the silver and a great number
of them were present to witness the
presentation.
A hend-car with canopy top was
rolled up near the office and quite a
ceremony had been arranged.
After the chest of silver had been pre-
scented by the white employees, Mike Ken
bricks. a representative of the negro
workers, said that he had been asked
by members of his race to present Miss
Moffett with token of their respect and
esteem and he handed to her beautiful
silver pitcher.
Some one who saw the presentation
of these beautiful gifts to Miss Moffett
said that they had rarely, If ever, seen
such absolute admiration as was man.
ifested by all concerned.
When Miss Moffett was but girl OF
is she took the position with the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad car depart
ment and she has never made change.
The admra ton and love shown for her
by those with whom she was constantly
thrown should be an incentive to other
young women who are similarly situated.
to attend to ones duties unfailingly, and
to always be kindly in manner to all
with whom she thrown under the
most trying circumstances. which is in
deed the secret of success.
