EVIL ONES MUST GO
A WAVE OF REFORM SWEEPING
 OVER BIRMINGHAM.
Sheriff and Police Chief Unite In De- termination to Drive Gamblers and Vagrants From the
 District

Birmingham. March 24-- Especial. A reform wave in sweeping over Bfrm- ingham and Jefferson County, and the white gambler. after a long season. is packing his grip, disposing of his pos- sessions of permanent nature, and leaving for pastures new.
 The sheriff has gone in combination with the Chief of Police in Birmingham to clear the big city of the evils of gambling and vagrants, and a good start was made during the last few days. The sheriff's detectives visited men suspected of conducting gambling houses and informed them raids would be made by the county and State offl . eials if all suspicion of gambling rooms were not removed at midnight on March 23. The last minute of the 'skidoo" day would be the limit for tho gamblers.
 Several raids have been made ai- ready on negro gamblers, who while away their time on Sundays at the mining and furnace camps in the coun- ty.r while negro women termed va grants were rounded up a few even ings since. showing that the determin- ation Is not one of mere talk. The entire profession of green cloth men has been disturbed
 The denizens of the Red Light" are now Tn an uncertain frame or mlnu. whether they are next 10 be the vic- tims of the great reform wave. The sa- loon men today strictly obeyed the new laws pertaining to Sunday closing. The ordinances recently adopted by the City Council prohibits even the pro- prietor or clerk of a saloon from en- tering the place on Sunday except with a permit issued by the Chief of Po- lice, and then the proprietor or clerk must be accompanied by Q policeman in uniform.
 The record for March of men arrest ed on charges of gaming and violating the Sunday law, (playing cards or dice on Sunday) made by the sheriff s forces, will be great. Several squads were out again today.
 Oxmoor was visited last Sunday and the Sunday before the deputies were in the vicinity of East Birmingham and Boyles.

state Riae Ranges.

Major A Slaker, who inspected a portion of the Alabama Militia last year, in his report to the Government says that "the militia should be efl- couraged to secure ranges wherever practicable. up to and including 500 yards. Larger ranges are unnecessary. To rent slip of land 50 feet wide and 500 yards long would be inexpensive and the money could not be put to better use than for this purpose. The matter of providing suitable armories is a very important one and should be taken up with the State authorities as soon as possible. with view of ob- taining suitable buildings. Local pride may be counted upon in most places for assistance. This Is the view of many Of the army officers who have inspected the militia and are familiar with conditions. Better armory privi- leges are the great need of our troops. and it should be provided for without further delay.

By the use of the Winchester 22 caliber musket or the Krag fitted with the 22 caliber barrel and an ar rangement whereby the targets are di- unfinished in proportion to the distance, 1t is possible to obtain the same re- suits in a small indoor range as on the outdoor range. Of course weather conditions. such as wind and mirage cannot be duplicated but indoor prac- tice when outdoor ranges are not avail able is highly recommended It has been the experience of all good shots that to keep in form there must be com stant practice

By it's liberality Congress has great iy encouraged the construction of anges and rife practice galleries throughout the country Onefourth of the appropriation made by the Gov ernment for the militia Is now required to be set aside for the promotion of rife practice and this money is avail able for acquiring ranges Any state so inclined however can use more than this proportion of the appropriation, and of course assistance can be re- ceived from the State Treasury. As a result, ranges are being secured in all parts of the country There is good prospect that a national rifle range will be established near Washington. General Grant, commanding the De- partment of the East, has ordered a hoard of officers to meet in Washing ton to examine sites in Maryland and Virginia convenient to Washington, and suitable for rife range for cavalry, infantry and field artillery. Among other sites to be considered Is one of about 1,500 acres not far from Fort Never. Va, which was used during the Spanish war and called Camp AL ger It Is expected that if a range is secured sufhciently near the city it may be used by the District of Colum- bia militia as well Us by the army.

The Chief Constructor of the French Navy Is quoted as expressing the be- lief that the battleship and armored cruiser must before long be merged into a single type. the battle cruiser. This resultant concentration of great attack and defense with ex- treme speed will. he believes. be found illustrated say, in 1915, in vessel of 25,O00 tons. mounting a unit battery of high calibre guns and developing a speed Of not less than. twenty-two knots. The French constructor is also persuaded that any navy now bold enough 10 lay down battleships of 25,000 tons displacement will by one stroke secure a tremendous advance over all it's rivals, because a squadron of four such vessels will greatly out class six battleships less effective in the energies that can be assembled

The standard for recruits in the army and the National Guard is pitched at a much higher standard than In the past. Only men of the highest moral character are desired m the regular army and any others are not being received in the National Guard at all. It has been most truly observed that the National Guard re- cruit Is both a soldier and citizen. having surrendered none of his rights to the latter qualification. neither nas he, by becoming a soldier. been given license to violate any of the conditions imposed upon a citizen. He snoulo do nothing to disgrace his uniform. put should remember that ie Is all the more obligated to uphold law and order He should not forget that his uniform lends to him a certain conspicuousness. noticed and commented upon by the general public according to the con duet of the wearer. If his conduct DC at variance with the high Ideals of pro priety. the soldier Is characterized as "a disgrace to the uniform of his coun- try and unfit to wear It. Men are gaueed by their actions, and especially is this true Of soldiers: therefore. they should do nothing to bring disgrace upon what they are expected to stann for. namely. the State and Nation

Special Ammunition.
 Rifiemen contemplating the use of ammunition of private manufacture in the National Matches next August, as permitted under the recent action of the National Board, should bear in mind that such ammunition will not be purchased in the open market, but will be manufactured under specfhca- tions and under inspection of govern ment officers.

 Camp By Brigade~.
 According to custom" says Tho Philadelphia Inquirer, the National Guard of Pennsylvania vii encamp this year by brigades. Brigadfer General Wiley, in order to get an option on tho land before the farmers put in their crops, thus lessening the cost, and also securing better top soil, has made an early start, and will go under vancas at Tyrone. Two places were offered, one at New Castle. and that decided upon. near Tyrone Major Aushutz. the bri- gade quartermaster, was directed to make an examination of the sites, their surroundings, accessibility, etc. Acting under his orders, and accompanied by the General, the Major proceeded tn Tyrone, where Lieutenant Zentmyer, of the Sheridan Troops was awaiting him. The Lieutenant represented committee of citizens of that locality, who were anxious to have the soldiers encamp there. The sites offered em- braces about 200, acres, and the land is said to be suitable,k in every way, for military purposes The citizens of- fer the land. water and pipeage, ice and forage. If needed, extra sidings, foi the better handling of the cars, will be laid. General Wiley was well pleas ed with the place, and also with the Inducements. As both officers were about leaving Tyrone. to view the site at New Castle, telegram from Cap tain Cunningham of Troop F. was handed the General, in which the Cap tain stated that certain of the farmers of New Castle refused to lease their land, and the matter was all off. There have been but two sites offered, and with one of them thus eliminated, 1t is reasonably certain that Tyrone will capture the troops from West of the Mountains for the summer work in the open."

SERVICE PENSIONS COMING
McCumber Gets the Right of Way in
the Senate.


Washington, Jan. 10-Receiving the
right Of way for his service pension
Dill In the senate McCumber expressed
the desire that the measure should re-
eeive general discussion McCumber
said there are persons who will not
concede that at some period after the
close Of the civil war a general service
pension bill should be enacted, and
some think it should have been enact
ed ten years ago.
There was. he said, a greater obliga-
ton to the survivors Of the civil war
than to the survivors Of any other war
in the history of this nation. The
amount of pensions which were being
paid to the young veterans Of the Span
ish war; McCumber said, was entirely
out of proportion. He opposed the
suggestion which he said had been
made for a fiat rate of $12 to those
who had reached the age of 30. There
wasn't any opposition expressed to the
bill. At the conclusion Of the debate
McCumber secured unanimous consent
to take the bill UP tomorrow. when
the opinion was expressed that q vote
might be taken
