HALEY IS IN FAVOR
 IF KINGS NEW BILL
Wants to See Birmingham'S
 Limits Extended
KING IS ENTHUSIASTIC
Ensley VIII Be Left Out In Cold Because of Strenuous Opposition That Has Arisen Toward the
 Plan.

Representative L. J. Haley gave out the following last night, when asked his opinion of the Greater Birmingham bill drawn up by Representative Jere c. King:
 T am heartily in favor of a Greater Birmingham bill. one providing way for bringing these towns Into the city and of asking the legislature to pass a bill charging the city limits, and to have 1t to go into effect some time within the next two years"
 MT. Haley also stated that while near ly all of the representatives from thls district were bound more or less by the referendum proposition that he consld- cred impractica ble the holding of twenty elections which this proposition would necessitate. He also stated that he cause no matter how much the people of East Lake or Woodlawn desired to come into Birmingham they would he shut out if Avondale should vote against 1t, and that personally he was in favor of Jere Kings bill.
 Assured of Square Deal.
 This bill has aroused a good deal of discussion, especially in the towns which 1t proposes to bring into Birmingham. The eoncensus of opinion is that they are perfectly willing to come into Bir- mingham if assured of a square deal, while MT. King states that 1t Is up to them as to whether or not they get sq are deal as they will have a repre- sentation of nine to Blrminghams one on the commission. He says that it Is the purpose of the bill that they shall be treated fair; that all towns owning pub lie utilities are to receive the benefits from them as at present at the same rates, and any changes will be made which seem necessary to secure harmony Under these conditions he cannot see how they can have any kick coming.
 It was the opinion of those present at the joint meeting between the Greater Birmingham committee and the city at- torneys of several of the municipalities affected that it was better for these towns to come in now when they could get everything they wanted than it would be for them to wait several years and be forced In without getting anything.
 The fact that Pratt City and East Lake will be unable to have any sew craze system until they become a part of Birmingham has created favorable sentiment towards the bill in both of 1 these towns.
 King is Enthusiastic. 1 MT. King is very enthusiastic in re- | gard to his bill and is highly gratlfied | at the favorable manner in which the people are discussing 1t. The purpose of the meetings of the attorneys for these different towns Is not to decide whether this bill shall be introduced in the legislature, but to draw up a bill which shall be the most satisfactory to these different towns
 l On account of the extreme opposition that exists in Ensley against coming into Birmingham that corporation Is not in- eluded in the proposed limits, though | it will be possible for small boy to l stand in Birmingham and smash win 1 doWs in houses located in Ensley, then swing on his front gate and make fun | of the helpless Ensley policemen.

VERY QUIET DAY
 IN POLICE ANNALS
A FEW HAIR PULLINGS, CUTTINGS AND A SCORE OF DRUNKS ARE CAUSES OF ARRESTS DURING THE DAY.
Saturday was one of the quietest in the

Saturday was one of the quietest in the history of the Birmingham police force. Arrests were numerous, but they were of class that took more manual labor than detective ability, for in most cases the unfirtunate was found lying in a gutter given a shake. picked up by the collar balanced after terrible struggles against post allowed to fall over again, while the policeman telephoned for the patrol wagon, then hauled with much difficulty into the bottom of old Maria, and the door slammed on his back
 Twenty drunks were locked behind the jail doors in the space of twenty-four hours. Besides these there were a num- Der only partly intoxicated who carved each other with razors Two negroes were slightly hurt in this manner, and two white women had free-for-all hair pulling Other than this, the day showed very few developments.
 
 innate cause or aiding any man or body of men, as long as he or we do not violate any of the laws of brother hood I will say for all of my brother engineer acquaintances that our locked out brother workmen, the motormen and conductors have the sympathy of all members of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers and that we will give them all the help we can. I. myself would contribute my last cent to cause like theirs, and I know that every other brotherhood man would do the same thing, and am very sorry that Brother Carlisle did not zee fit to act on said conference committee; for surely the mo- tormen and condu tors deserve the com mendation of the entire public for their quiet. conservative and gentlemanly con- duct during the entire lockout.

Suggest Forfeiting Franchise.

The committee finally asked if the fran chise of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company could not be for feited under certain conditions. Mayor Ward answered that it could, but that he had no knowledge of any act on the part of the company that was likely to forfeit it's franchise. The matter was further pressed by the committee, who said that the City Council could take action to- ward the forfeiture of the street railway franchise.
 To this Mayor Ward replied that contract is regarded as sacred by most people, and in the eyes of the law, and he did not see how the existing contract could be broken.
 After the conference Mayor Ward dis cussed the subject briefly and said in ref erence to the call for a general strike that the police department would not re- ceive any different instructions from those they are now working under, and he hoped that none would be necessary. No orders, he said, would be issued to the sa- looms On Monday.

Mayor Issues Statement.

The Mayor authorized the following statement:
 'I wish to say that I regret that no amicable arrangement could be made be- tween the railway company and its em- ployes.
 'In the meantime I wish 1t understood that I propose as far as Is in my power to guarantee to every citizen of Bir- mingham his rights as a freeman and the exercise of his personal liberty and the assurance of his inalenable rights under the constitution of Alabama and of the United States.

Letter From Engineer Chief.

The following letter to The Age-Herald is self-explanatory:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Kindly grant me space in your columns that I may be able to correct an er- roneous impression that might be in the minds of the public and my fellow work men in regard to the letter published over the signature of Brother George S. Carlisle, a very dear friend of mine, addressed to the chairman of confer ence committee in regard to the position of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers in the present controversy between the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and their employees. will say no one realizes more than my self how this would lower us in the eyes Of our fellow workers if allowed to go unanswered by brotherhood engl- neer know any well informed brother hood engineer will agree with me in say ing that our Brother Carlisle would not have been violating any laws of our brotherhood in acting as committeeman to wait on anyone in behalf of any legit-

that he could not
 Discuss Recent Resolutions.
 The subject of the resolutions adopted at the Majestic theatre on Wednesday night was mentioned, the committee say ing that they desired the company mere ly to take back the men who were locked out, and that the strike-breakers be sent from the city. The matter of open or union shop would be left for setue- ment between the carmen and the street railway company. The committee de- clared that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company had by It's re- fusal to negotiate the matter, thrown down the gauntlet to organized labor. Following this a discussion ensued re- garding the use of special policemen, and James B. Drake referred to the street railway strike In New Orleans, saying that in that city the Mayor had been called upon by the street railway company to furnish protection in running the cars and no extra men had been put on. The sheriff was called upon and finally the governor of the state appealed to with out result Mayor Ward replied to this by saying that he had not been appealed to by the company. but had put on extra men to cover an emergency.

RICHES OF GOLDFTEID.
Idaho Man Says Nevada Camp Is the
Richest in the World.

John Eneboe, who is one of the
recent arrivals from Goldfield, was
greatly impressed with what he saw
there, says the Boise Capital-News
In talking with Capital News re-
porter yesterday he said he felt GER
tain that there is no other mining
camp in the world that will compare
with Goldfield and several of the
other new Nevada mining camps.
Millions of tons of ore that carry be-
tween $40 and $50 IN gold per ton
Is thrown aside, he says, there be-
ing no reduction plants near enough
to make reduction profitable. Much
>cf the ore now being worked there
goes better than $4,000 per ton in gold
and silver.
Mr.. Fneboe has been a practical
miner and mine superintendent for
years. He says the Nevada field is
unlike most other rich camps. There
Is no lava or granite on the surface
at the mines and the ore-bearing
rock Is usually porphyry.
He predicted that when the reduc-
ton works are put in, more men will
be employed at the mines, mills and
smelters of Nevada than the entire
population Of the state at the pres
ent time.

GRAINGRowERs JUBmANT.
Prospects for Cereal Crops Were
Never Better.

Never Better.
Because Of the rains Of the last few
days the graingrowers are feeling ju-
bilant, for the moisture has been a
blessing to the growing crop. Copi-
GUS rains are generally wanted in June
so as to get the grain in shape for the
hot weather that follows. This year
the crop conditions have been good
and with the rains of the last few
days little is left'to be desired.
Reports from Athena and other
portions of the county are all to the
effect that the rain has been of i'm
mense value and there is every indi-
cation that a bumper crop will be
harvested this year.
In some cases volunteer crops have
been raised this year and reports re-
ceived indicate that good yields will
be had from such as the favorable
conditions have caused the wheat to
grow well.
