EmbezzIement Charge Ushersd In.
Over the Bridge of Sorrows this same
Joe Reeves crossed yesterday morning to
answer the charge of embezzlement before
Judge Feagin. He was confronted by
O roomer of the hotel, who claimed that
he had been robbed. SO the great high
way robbery of the hotel developed into
this picture which the clerk began TO
throw on the canvas:

Judge Feagin however, did not agree
with him, and bound him over to the

NO COMPROMISE IN
WATERWORKS FIGHT
M. O." League VIII Name
Committees TO Assist
EXPECT A BIG MAJORITY
Address Will Be Issued to Voters Set
ting Forth the objects and Prin-
ciples of the Municipal
Ownership League.

The current rumor that there is plan
to put an end to the fight for the mu-
nicipal ownership of the waterworks
plant, because of some promised reduc-
ton in the rates in force at present, is
unfounded.
The above is in conformity with an
authorized statement coming from the
Municipal Ownership league last night.
Since the recent arrival in Birmingham
of President A. NJ Lynn, of the water
works company, numerous rumors have
been on foot. one of them being that
compromise had been reached and that
the fight for the control of the plant
was to be called off. At meeting of
the executive committee last night this
rumor was declared untrue
Nothing in the first place in the way
of a compromise has been mentioned,
either to f. d. Smith, president of the
league. of B. H. Cooper, chairman of the
executive committee.
Name Committees.
At the meeting of the executive commit
tee last night it was determined to ap-
point man in every ward of the city
for the purpose of forming sub-commit-
tees, the object of which will be to work
that the intended ownership of the water
works plant may carry before the people
in every ward by a large majority. Az
ter the appointment of this chairman, he
he will confer with Chairman Cooper con-
corning the personnel of the committee.
Each ward or Subcommittee will num-
- ho olai
The meeting was held in the storehouse
of Chairman Cooper on Third avenue be-
tw cen Twentieth and Twenty-frst streets.
In addition to Chairman Cooper, Secretary
Rountree, J d. Collins. w. M. Drennen,
c. c. Houston, A. l. Dexter and e. ID.
Smith, president Of the league, were pres
emit.
Issue Address.
The committee decided to issue an inn
mediate address to the people concerning
the policy and principles of the leagues
In this address the work will be reviewed
and the plans outlined. The league, as
is known, was formed for the purpose
of acquiring municipal ownership and
control of the waterworks plant, and
was suggested by the general complaint
that the amount charged consumers III
Birmingham was exorbitant. The COM
mittee appointed to frame this address
is composed Of Messrs. Smith, Cooper and
Rountree.
The secretary was instructed to write
to the mayoralty and aldermanic candi-
dates for the purpose of getting a state
ment from each as to his position rela-
tive to the league, and its object. The
league will endeavor to have an alder
manic board and mayor thoroughly in
harmony with it's efforts.
Numerous other matters were discussed
before adjournment. The committee left
the impression that it was entering the
fight with renewed strength and determi-
nation and that nothing had ever been
thought or heard of in the way of a
compromise.
