ALL EYES TURNED
 TO THE HEAVENS
ASTRAL BODIES PRESENTED LIN. USUAL SPECTACLE LAST NIGHT AND THOUSANDS WE'RE SPECu. HATING OVER PHENOMENON.

A strange phenomenon appeared in the heavens last night shortly after o'clock. and many thousands of people throughout the city watched it. There were four exceedingly bright bodies, about two feet long, lying in re- spect to each other as would the four fingers of the hand outstretched. The bodies occasionally disappeared as cloud passed over them, to reappear a few min utes later with increased brillianee.
 Just what the bodies were is problemat- c Some considered each a constellation of stars. Others considered them station- ary comets.
 The phenomenon appeared almost at the zenith. and attracted much attention. Star-gazers for hours stood with craned necks. It was almost enough to Inspire superstition. and there were remarks concerning hand over Birmingham ex- tended in blessing that prohibition had carried, and that it prophesied continued prosperity The fearful considered it an omen of hard times.
 The bodies were seen for several hours. finally going behind d cloud and never showing again.

 It is interesting to note how important every section in the country considered the result in Birmingham. The Atlanta Journal played up the story with heavy headlines all the way across the first page. The Atlanta Constitution printed several columns of the account which was as full as that given in Birmingham. The Montgomery Advertiser.

 HIGHEST PENALTY S10O and 180 Days for Saloon
 VioIator WILL 60 TO HIGHER COURT Tuesdays Docket Was the Liehtest Recorded In Many Weeks-Feaein Discusses Enforcement of the Law.
WILL 60 TO HIGHER COURT

q am going to start out right said Judge Feagin in court yesterday morn ing "I intend to give every violator of the whisky laws the full limit of the statute, and not only make the fine as large as possible but give the labor sentence as well.
 "The judicial department of Birming- ham Is going to do its part toward giv- ing prohibition a fair trial. The legisla- tive department has already done it's duty in placing the prohibition laws on the statute books. Now the public and the executive officers must do theirs, and they may depend upon the judiciary so far as the city police court is concerned.
 'I believe that a strict enforcement of the law will prove whether 1t is a good one or Q bad one, and the results can de- eide future action. 1 expect the police to use every effort to bring violators into court"
 After uttering these words Judge Fea- gin gave A. R. Walstrom the saloon man who was found in his saloon on Your teenth street on Saturday when the may or's proclamation was in effect, $l00 and lS0 days.
 That is the highest fine that can be given by the inferior court. An appeal was taken. and the result of the sentence in the higher court cannot be prsphesied- The second blind tiger caught was tho Railroad club. This case was postponed for a few days.
 The regular Tuesday mornings docket in police court resembled the list usual on Friday. Instead of 65 cases, as last Tuesday, and more than 100 the week be- fore. there were less than l5 yesterday. and only three of them were for drunk enness. There was not drunken man seen on the streets Monday.

 SERIOUS PROBLEM Many Heads Put Together At
 City Hall HOW WILL MONEY BE RAISED City Auditor Begins Work On Careful Estimate of the Expenditures and

 Prospects for 1908.
HOW WILL MONEY BE RAISED

Undoubtedly the greatest problem accompanying prohibition is the finan- cial question in Birmingham. Prohibi- tionists admit that it will be a hard matter to meet the expenditures of the city, and many of them are thinking over the matter carefully.
 The prohibition victory was not the topic of discussion at the city hall yes- terday. In every office heads were to- gether, and pencils were figuring on a solution of the enormous financial proposition that faces the city govern ment.
 City Auditor Peterson began yester- day afternoon a careful estimate of the expenditures and revenues of the city for the year 1907 He is passing his calculations on the ten and one-half months already passed, and even goes so far as to estimate the interest on the debts that will be contracted be- fore the first of next year.
 When this exhaustive table is for mulated the city officials will be in the position to make a total estimate oi the expenses and revenues for 1908 that will be within few dollars of correct figures.
 It will then be up to the administra- tion to fix things. Mayor Ward is working on the proposition, but is Dot ready to state how the board can come up to the requirements. As he stated Monday night he is ready to do every thing possible to give prohibitic> a fair trial.
 The city is already collecting every cent of taxes allowed by the state con- stitution. There remain the licert;e schedule and the expense budget which may be arranged to meet
 The subject is live one. Treasurer auditor, street commissioner. fire and police officers are all worrying over it. for January is only 50 days distant.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-10-30

The prohibition victory was swelled by the later returns to something over 1900 majority. The exact figures will not be known 1nntil the official count at the court house Friday morning at o'clock when every box will be recorded and the total figured out.
 The prohibtionsts wore bright and happy faces yesterday and everywhere the discussion of their triumph took first place.
 All enmity and bad feeling had van ished. the fight was matter of history and business had resumed regular chan nels. The country people. especially the old ones. brought their ballot boxes to town with a body guard numbering dozens. and stood around the corners enjoying the cold atmosphere of future anti-liquor city.
 We intend to enforce it." was the password everywhere Just let me

Board of Trade Expresses Approval.


 Believing that the banks of Brming- ham are as solid as the famous Rock of Gibraltar. the Board of Trade at special called meeting yesterday aft ernoon unanimously passed a resolu- ton endorsing the action of the banks in issuing clearing house certificates. The attendance was composed of Bir- minghams most representative mer- chants and each one expressed the full est confidence in the banks here being able to hold heir own under any cir cumstances. The resolution was as fol- lows:
 Resolved That the Board of Trade hereby commends the action of the as- sociated banks of Birmingham in talk ing the action they did to preserve the local credit and to keep their cash re- serves intact so as to insure the con tinuaton during this period of cur rency famine of cash pay rolls and full operation of all the great industries in this district. and the prompt pay ment in cash of all labor. Resolved, further That the members of the Board of Trade hereby expS,ss
  Birmingham. and of the Birmingham district, and pledge their cooperation and support to the banks in the pres ent situation of affairs.
 Resolved. That we note with satis- faction the bright prospects for an immediate improvement in the gen eral situation over the country and that we feel sure that normal con ditions will be restored within very short time."
 A motion was carried that the sec retary be authorized to sign the names of all members of the Board of Trade who were present to the resolution. Heidt- Nelson Coal and Lumber com pany, by C. c. Heidt. Collins Shoe co., by J. D. Collins. Porter Clothing Co.,. by II. J. Por- ter.

NEGRO HELD UP.
Tells Story of Being Robbed Near the
 Chemical Works.

Oliver Sutherlin, a negro man apparent ly about 60 years old, put in his appear anee at the sheriff's office last night with a story of another highway rob- bery.
 Sutherlin states that negro highway man threw big gun in his face as ne was passing down the road. near the chemical works. close to Powderly, and while his hands were pointing skyward relieved him of a s42.2O watch cost him s1S.s0. The old fellow states that he also had two keys and car fare in his pocket but that this was spared by the highwayman.

PROHIBITION BILL
 BEFORE THE SOLONS
Little Doubt Is Felt But What State Will Be Made Dry Since Jefferson
 Has Fallen In Line.

Whether or not there will be a statutory prohibition bill passed by the legislature in extraordinary session, con- vening November T. is matter of much discussion and great interest in Brming- ham,
 That such bill would find two-thirds of the legislature supporting it, is a cer- tainty. In addition to it's friends in the house, it's object is keenly favored by Governor Conner, Lieutenant Governor Gray, and Speaker Carmichael.
 The latter gentleman, before leaving Birmingham for his home county, reiter- ated his recently published statement to the effect that he would introduce a pro- hibition bill before the house on it's first days session. He expects to have it passed easily.
 Since Birmingham has gone dry by big majority, it is freely predicted that ev- cry county in which the agitation is felt will follow suit. In every county so far attempted prohibition has won with remarkable ease. In the majority of coun- ties not yet attempted, the wave is be- ginning to touch. It is predicted by those in positions to know, that the entire state will go dry by counties within a very short time. even if a state prohi- biton bill does not carry during the ex- traordinary session.
 Governor Conner who left yesterday for Montgomery, states that the reasons for the session have been enumerated, and that all other matters to be consd- cred must have the endorsement of Q wo-thirds vote of the legislature. It is a matter of interesting speculation as to whether or not anything other than the matters mentioned in the Governor s pfoclama ton, and the state prohibition bill of Speaker Carmichael, will be called up.
 It is understood in Birmingham that experts are already framing up the bills to be introduced concerning the further regulation of railroad rates. An inter- esting bit of news yesterday was the action of the educational association of the state in procuring the services of Dr. John w. Abercrony6ie, president of the University of Alabama, in framing the bill for compulsory education. It is un- derstood that Dr. Abercrombie will fol- low the lines of the Reynolds bill, in- troduced last spring to a limited ex- tent.
 Local members of the legislature hope that the session will be short and to the point, and believe that it will be-

Only Routine Business Trans
 acted Last Night
CHECKS CASHED FOR S25
Board of Trade Passes Resolutions Unanimously lndorsing Step Taken By Birmingham Banks Dur
 ing Present Emergency.

The Birmingham Clearing House as- sociation met at the Commercial club last night but transacted only routine business. ". w Crawford. president of the American Trust and Savings, presided and every bank in the asso- citation was represented. The meeting was executive, as usual. It was stated that no action was taken and that nothing was done of interest to the public, Only details of clearing busi- ness, it was said, came up for consider ation.
 Those attending the meeting ex- pressed themselves as greatly plea sed with the improved banking situation in New York and through out the coun- try. And they seemed especially pleased with the local situation. It was stated that in no city in the south were the banks in such fine shape as those of Birmingham.
 The action of the banks here in lIn- ting individual cash checking to S25 a day. as a precautionary measure has met, 1t Is said. with general approval This rule does not apply to payroll depositors. Corporations and other business concerns can draw unlimited | cash, as usual And every check, no matter how large the amount drawn against an individual account will pass through the clearing house and be honored the same as ever. Since the bulk of the banking business is done by checks, little or no inconvenience is felt because of the temporary rule ap- plying to individuals in withdra wing cash

Negroes and Whites H1
 NerUy HOIdup Games

The hold-up game appeared in the lime light twice last night, the robbers being so nervy as to hold up a policeman in one case and in another instance held up a cripple under an arc light.
 While Officer Elliott was riding his horse down Alley D, near Twenty fourth street, about 10 o'clock, three negroes sprang out and stopped his horse. Mr. Elliott was dressed in citizens clothes and the negroes did not know he was policeman. But while the negroes were quick and the odds were three to one against him, Officer Elliott was a little bit quicker and got the drop on them. Two of the negroes vanished, but the pointed pistol held the other one rooted to the ground. A vain search failed to reveal the other two sons of Ham, but
