CLOCK WILL NOT
RUN WHEN MAYOR
LEAVES THE CITY
City Hall Puzzled By Action of
iimepiece Which Re-
fuses to Work
STARTED UP AGAIN WHEN
WARD CAME FROM CAPITAL
City Engineer and Electrician Struggle
to Ferret Out Connection Between
Mayor and the City's Big
Electric Timepiece.

City Engineer kendrick is working upon
a most mysterious problem of mechanics,
and one which promises never to be
solved Perhaps the old janitor of tho
city hall could explain it better than
any one else.
Mr.. Kendrick has been unable, by any
kind of engineering to find an electrical
connection between the city hall clock
and Mayor Ward, yet he is sure that
such a connection exists, though the
phenomenon is impossible to understand.
Circumstances. however. stand proof to
the fact that when the Mayor leaves the
city hall this same electric clock loses
all its activity, and sinks into quiet. As
the Mayor passes down the marble steps,
grip in hand, the old clock closes its
eyes. and folds its hands.
So it did when the Mayor went to Mont
gomery. more than a week ago. No man.
ner or kind of persuasion could get it TO
stir ieself. The janitor climbed up and
shook it. the city electrician examined
1t, the city engineer puzzled over it, the
tax collector offered it money, the build
ing inspector issued a permit, the fire
Clncl OHertQ II water, allu llS poi'ec
chief arrested it, but to no avail. me
Mayor was in Montgomery.
Now there are two reasons offered for
this peculiar action. The one is that
the piece of machinery was merely
mourning at the absence of the chief
executive, but the other is that the old
clock and the old police commission could
not run at the same time in the same
city.
At any rate when the police commission
had been abolished and Mayor Ward re-
turned to Birmingham, the clock opened
its arms wide. gave big yawn, and
without giving any explanation, took up
it's monotonous ticking.

OSBORNE GETS OUT
ON BOND OF $500
NO LONGER WILL THE CORRIDORS
OF THE COUNTY JAIL RESOUND
WITH THE MELODY OF HIS
DEEP BASS VOICE.

The corridors of the county Jail have
ceased to resound with the melody of Dr.
John Osborne's fine bass voice. He is
out on a $500 bound. More than three
months in jail have not brought the al
legged bigamist any nearer to q resem-
blance of the renowned King Henry VIII,
nor assisted the curious in discovering
mis- mystical power over women.
This, 1t will be remembered, is the pris-
one who is charged with having FIVE
wives. all OF whom condemned him
through the mails for his tickle heart
Doc, as he was called by the inmates
of the Jefferson county bastile, had the
reputation of being the ugliest man in
side the walls. His countenance is fat
and fluffy, and bears none of the beauty
of Lothario. The eyes are slow of mo-
ton. and so far as conversation was con-
cerned he was often called Doc, the
Silent"
The only redeemng feature of the man,
to which is probably due the ease of
mis- many feminine captures is his voice.
lie had no sooner become a prisoner
than he became the musical leader of all
the Jail birds, formed "A choir of song
sters, and tuned their vocal chords to
accompany the movement of the planets.

SENTIMENT GROWS
AGAINST PRIMARY
CITY COMMITTEE WILL MEET ON
WEDNESDAY TO DISCUSS SOLU-
TloN-clTlZENS OF BIRMING-
HAM TIRED OF POLITICS.

There will be a meeting of the city
council chamber, city hall, Wednesday
night at s o'clock.
The meeting was called yesterday when
five members presented a petition TO the
chairman. The committee at the meeting
will consider the ACCESSIBILITY of calling a
primary to nominate the two candidates
for the new commission.
There is well defined opposition to hav
ing another primary in Birmingham fol-
lowing so close on the heels of that re-
Gently gone through with On the other
hand, there is argument that there is. no
other way in which candidates can be
nominated and regularly enrolled on the
democratic ticket for the May election.
Alderman O Neil, City Attorney Smith
and Mayor Ward suggested plan yes
terday whereby the necessity of a pri
mary might be obvlated. They thought
limit in which the names of all would
be candidates might be received. In this
way all democrats who desired to make
the race could send in their names and
be regularly enrolled. On account of the
fact that the race would be bitter one
one on which the concentrated gaze of
the entire city would be fixed. and on ac-
count of the worry and expense, the anti
primary idea is growing in strength
However, it is not known just what the
committee will decide upon.

Conner WILL SOON
MAKE SELECTIONS
SAYS HE WILL NAME POLICE CON-
MISSIONERS ON MONDAY OR
TUESDAY-WARD WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE ONE A PHYSICIAN.

The appointment of the two members
of the new police commission will be
made Monday or Tuesday, Governor
Conner, who will spend a few days in
Birmingham, made q statement to that
effect yesterday. Other than that the
Governor declined to commit himself He
did not drop hint as to the men being
considered by him. 1t is learned, how
ever. that he will exercise great care and
appoint men strong and able, who will
stand the best chance of receiving popu-
lar endorsement at the polls in May.
Mayor Ward would like to see some
strong physician a member of the new
board. According to the Mayor such a
commissioner would be wa.ehful for the
sanitation of the city, and his advice
along those lines would be of exceptional
value. The Mayor was asked to name a
physician who would, in his opinion make
a commissioner. but he shook his head.
The old commission is not expected to
hold its scheduled meeting next Tuesday
night. All matters awaiting a hearing
al present will most probably be adjusted
after the new commission is put in
mower

COUNTRY CLUB LEASE
ONCE MORE BOBS UP
PRESIDENT RAMSAY WRITES LET
TER TO DIRECTORS AND OTHER
OFFICERS URGING A MORE CON-
SENTATIVE POLICY BY CLUB.

It now seems probable that the lease
of the Country club on its golf grounds
will not be extended without further de-
bate.
1t developed yesterday that certain in
fiuences in the club were at work to
prevent signing of the lease at the
meeting of the board of directors next
Monday night. and that the same inter-
ests were urging more conservative ac-
ton.
Members of the club who have opposed
the new lease are said to be ready to Sc
cure an injunction to prevent it. and if
necessary they will carry the matter into
the courts.
The situation last night, however,
seemed favorable to an amicable settle
ment of the entire trouble, probably by
postponing action i'll the matter until next
fall or for "A year. 1t is urged by many
that the club would be unwlse to assume
heavier obligations just now, and that
the best thing that could be done would
be to postpone action for year.
Erskne Ramsay, president of the club
has written a letter to the directors ond
policy, and it seems probable that his
advice will be acted on, or at least that
1t will be seriously considered.
The club now pays $500 per year for
rent on its golf course. The Birmingham
Realty company has made an offer to ex-
tend the lease ten years longer, making
sixteen years yet to run, II the club will
pay $500 a year for the next six years
and $4,000 a year for the remaining ten.
Under the present lease the club holds
the golf course for six years longer. The
matter OF extending the lease was first
considered by the board of directors, then
referred to the club at a mass meeting
held, and now 1t will probably come be-
fore the club again. At the last club meet
ing the vote was almost unanimous to
extend the lease at the higher rental.
If an agreement Is not reached Monday
night the board will probably refer the
matter to the club, a meeting of which
will be called.

STRAWBERRIES AND
TOMATOES ARE HER Z
BERRIES ARE NOT YET OF VERY
GOOD QUALlTY-CHiCkE APE
SCARCE-A DEMAND FOR FISH
AND OYSTERS.

The general condition now prevalent in
the Birmingham retail market is reported
very favorable. Supplies in the various
lines are reported plentiful ana no ndl-
cation of the falling off of the demand is
even anticipated.
Perhaps the only things now being put
on the market which are new are fresh
tomatoes and strawberries. Florida to-
matoes are becoming more plentiful and
of better favor. They are retailing at
from 80 to 60 cents per dozen. Straw
berries from Florida arc beginning to ar
rive in more liberal quantities, and q few
crates have been received from South
Alabama but these were of poor quality.
Strawberries are now selling at from
% to doc per quart Practically every
thing else in the way of fruits and veget-
ables is unchanged In price, Irish pota-
toes are retailing at SOC peck, sweet po-
tatoes at 40c, apples, poor quality at this
season, Soc a peck, oranges 50 and 45c a
dozen, according to size, choice grapefruit
81 a dozen, and cranberries at 15c a quart
Chickens have been scarce for several
weeks, especially friers, which are sell
ing at 45 to Coo each. Hens are quoted
at so to 75c each, according to size. But
ter is still high, the best creamery grade
bringing 40c.
The demand for fish and oysters has
been very good during the past week
and the supply has been abundant. vita

FAMILY FOUND IN
SORE NEED OF FOOD
FATHER HAS CONSUMPTION, THE
MOTHER HAS PNEUMONIA AND
DAUGHTERS ARE WITHOUT
BREAD-ASSISTAN GIVEN.

Quite a pathetic case and one which
deserves the attention Of the public, was
called to the attention of Chief Wier yes
terday afternoon. A collection was taken
up at once among the city officials to
temporarily relieve the condition of a
family of sufferers, but the chief hopes to
receive liberal donations from the outside
today
The family of George D. Rice, a wifo
and two daughters, has been found at
721 North Twenty-iirst street, practically
destitute of food Illness has been the
cause Of it ali, but the daughter was try
ing to conceal their trouble
1t seems that Mr. Rice was at one time
editor Of the Blocton Messenger, and one
of the brightest newspaper writer's in the
state. He is now suffering with con-
sumption, across the bay at Mobile, while
his wife is here in bed with pneumonia,
and the two young girls are without
even bread TO eat.
The oldest daughter looks as if she too
were on the Verge of sick spell. a
special fund will be gotten up today
for their benefit. Chief Wier will be glad
to receive anything that may be con-
tributed, and see that it gets into the
thoroughly examined by the Salvation
army workers. and there is no doubt of
the genuineness of their need.

SIGHT OF JAIL TOO
MUCH FOR THIS MAN
NEGRO JUMPS FROM WAGON AND
AFTER a LIVELY CHASE GETS
AWAY-A LARGE AMOUNT OF
STOLEN BRASS RECOVERED.

The sight of the city Jail started the
blood through his veins, and sent him
bounding for freedom. The negro was
arrested by Policeman Williamson in
First alley between Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets, before day break yes
terday morning.
He was driving one-horse wagon.
piled full of stolen brass. when the po-
liceman caught him, and began to control
the direction of the vehicle himself. Walk
in, few PAGES behind, Mr.. Williamson
told the negro to turn down Nineteenth
street. The fellow obeyed
AS they reached Third alley the police
man told him to turn In toward the Jail
This was too much. The frightened negro
rose from that spring seat like a wild
animal, over the side, and out OF sight
in a iiffy. Mr. Williamson took after him
with his pistol, and was Joined by Po-
liceman Hamilton, who says that he was
gaining on the negro when Williamson
began shooting over his head. Hamilton
did not expect this, so went the other
way.
After firing several rounds the pur-
sners returned, and had to be content
with the horse, wagon and stolen brass.
1t was identified during the day.

WORK BEGINS ON
SOUTHSIDE CHURCH
Wcrkmen Are Busy Grading and Resi-
dences Are Being Removed
From the Site.

Work has commenced on the new build
Ing of the Southside Baptist church. One
of the buildings which occupied the new
site, bounded by Nineteenth street.
Eleventh avenue and Cottonwood avenue,
has already been removed, and the con-
tractors are now moving the other house
to another site.
The work of grading the property has
commenced, and there are a score of
workmen there at present. AS soon as the
site Is graded and the contract let, the
actual work of building the foundations
will commence.
Very little grading was necessary as
the property was practically level before.

MOCK SESSION OF
COUNCIL is HELD
THREE ALDERMEN GET TO-
GETHER AND DECIDE THAT TIE
NEXT MEETING SHALL BE HELD
ON SCHEDULE TIME.

The mock session of the house, after
the adjournment of the legislature last
week, was the probable example that the
three aldermen who reported for call in
the council chamber last night followed
in calling the council to order and declar-
ing it adjourned.
Those present were Alderman Fulghum,
Alderman Gum and Alderman ONeill
When it was seen that there would be
no quorum Alderman Fulghum received
the unanimous viva voce vote for the
Craftsmanship. He was given notification
to that effect by Alderman Gum, whose
language, pruned for the occasion, could
not have been bettered by such a diplo-
matte master as was the gay Alphonse.
The acceptance of Alderman Fulghum
was delivered in n speech that could
have made the renowned Patrick Henry
turn over in his grave. City Attorney
Smith and Bailiff Jack Curran escorted
the chairman to the rostrum His first
public statement was to the effect that
no newspaper reporters would be enter
tanned. After this he raped loudly. Hats
were instantly removed. The chairman
then, in stentorian tones, declared the
fact that the City Council of Brming-
ham was in session. Thereupon Alder
man Gum, being duly recognized. moved
an immediate adjournment until the third
Wednesday night in this month Alder
man O'Nell, being duly recognized,
seconded the motion. Those voting in the
affirmative were: Mr. Chairman, Alder
man Gum and Alderman O'Neill No nay
votes were cast.
The meeting was planned after the adj
iournment Wednesday night All matters
pending will go over until the next regu-
lar meeting.

as a fact that sembrlch gets one price
everywhere; that she is a 5000 luxury in
Berlin, just as she is in New York and

Sembrich never appears without guar

seating capacity of between 1850 and 1900,
