A Good Move.

Crowley Signal: A most helpful

set lines OF the Southern pacific which
have arranged for a rice advertising
campaign that is something new and
novel, and which will benefit the rice
belt. The company has purchased a
moving picture machine and has films
made showing everything connected
with the raising and harvesting of
rice, together with the scenes around
the larger rice mills in the rice belt.
The company has engaged Jack
Hussey, formerly chief of the Houston
fire department, to manage the NOV
ing picture apparatus. A special car
has been constructed for the purpose
and this car is to be sent to every sec
ton of the Union. 1t is so arranged
that the exhibition can be given with
in it. The company expects to create
more interest in rice culture with this
moving picture machine than with any,
thing yet put out in the advertiser g
line.

JUNK DEALERS ARE
 TO FACE THE LAW
ARE CHARGED WITH BUYING A LARGE AMOUNT OF BRASS WHICH HAD RECENTLY BEEN STOLEN BY NEGROES.

Nearly all of the junk dealers of Bir mingham are to be arrested today on the charge of receiving and concealing stolen property. This is the result of the cap ture of four of the worst brass and gem eral thieves that have been working in Birmingham for some time. and the re- covery of 5000 pounds of metal, valued at nearly 5000.
 This is one of the biggest pieces of work that has been done for months. Policemen Ellege and Parker, who have been on their trail for a long time, made the round up this week and Eliza Cor don, John Wilson, Savannah Ward and Ed McFarlan lodged in Jail
 It seems that the negroes had been stealing all kinds of metal from the Southern, the Louisville and Nashville the Frisco and the Central of Georgia yards and shops and storing it away in many and various parts of the city. The officers also charge that the negroes had no trouble in selling their stolen property to certain junk dealers. who never ask ed any questions and immediately broke 1t up for shipment.

CHECK BAGGAGE ON
 INIERCHANGEABLES
NEW ARRANGEMENT WILL GO INTO EFFECT JULY IS, AND IT MEANS MUCH TO THE TRAVEL ING PUBLIC.
FIRST AVE. AND 2OTH ST.

Announcement was made yesterday on interchangeable mileage on any rail- road in southern territory on and after July 15, an arrangement which is natural ly very pleasing to the travelling public. Now that interchangeable mileage has been permanently adopted in southern territory and n travelling man does not have to carry grip full of mileage books, it is to be expected that the railroads will fall in line with the railroads of the north and east and adopt all the reforms necessary to the good of the travelling public.
 Interchangeable mileage has not been in general use in the south many years. and the railroads were slow to mahe good the mileage on many of the leading roads, but they have nearly all fallen in line, and a passenger can now travel over half a dozen or more roads on one mileage book. While this is an estao- lished fact, a hitch has occurred over the baggage question. and all the roads Tn southern territory have heretofore refused to check baggage through from point on one railroad to point on a different road. This matter has been the source of great trouble and annoyance 10 the trav- cling public, particularly to the commer- cial traveller, who often missed a train through having to recheck his trunk al way station.
 The members of the Travellers Protec- n. the railroads some time ago. and now they were rewarded by the united action of the railroads in announcing the decision that all baggage may be checked througn on Interchangeable mileage.

As yet they are not fully enough developed to be made public. but it Is known that they are looking to fight for prohibition this fall. A well known member stated last night that the members were of one mind in wanting the saloons eliminat- ed and consider that the time is ripe.
 At the meeting yesterday afternoon the Rev. Brooks Lawrence, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, made an in- teresting talk, outlining the course that should be pursued and what may be ex- pected from the league in a local fight.

MOORE TALKS ON PUNCHING SALOONS Believes This With High License Will Solve Question COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT Saloon Question Will Probably Play Important Part and Session Prom
 ises to Be of Unusual
 Interest.
COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT

Alderman Walter Moore, who is ths father of the redistricting saloon resolu- ton, is still quite anxious to see 1t passed While it may come up at the meeting of the council tonight and may not, he intends to push it as soon as the time is ripe.
 The idea is to get the saloons collected into one district, not too large, in the business part of the city, as to cut out salons in the residence districts, and in far away places where police protection cannot be sufficient and the dive is nur- tured.
 MT. Moore said last night: "I believe that the saloon problem can be solved in Birmingham by high license and red,s- tricting. These two measures would force them to obey the law, and placo them where they can be managed.
 'The first would cut them down in number and keep up the city's revenue the same as ever. an object which We all desire. With the saloons few in mum bers they could all be gathered into a small district in the center of town, where they could not cause trouble if they would.
 ''I believe that under those circum- stances a person could walk by a saloon and not know 1t. They would not be any more rowdy nor much more numerous than our central saloons are at present. We want to get the saloons away from the bad elements for such have no busl- ness with drink.
 '1 feel confident that with such a law passed, instead of 1t being more danger ous for the ladies in the shopping district it would be much less so, for now the saloons are found in the residence dis tricts right near the doors of many homes"
 It is also said in defense of the propo- sition that the bad element of Birming- ham people walk the streets in the shop ping district now without causing any great trouble, and if the police could he concentrated in one district they would cause even less annoyance. Merchants are being warned that they need fear no danger In such a resolution.
 In the meantime Alderman Estes reso- lutions cutting out saloons from the red light district. and relative to the lease and purchase of buildings, will be acted on tonight The meeting promises to be an interesting one
