LIQUOR QUESTION
 IS BEFORE PASTORS
UPON MEETING THIS MORNING PROBABLY DEPENDS STAND THAT WILL BE TAKEN BY MIN ISTERs ON SUBJECT.

Today at 10 o'clock the monthly meeting of the Pastors union will be held in the basement of the First Methodist church. and among other things the report of the committee appointed at the last meeting to present plan for the consideration of the liquor question will be received.
 Upon this meeting probably hinges the stand of the pastors for or against a cam pagn in the interest of prohibition this fall.
 It will be remembered that one of the ladies' societies has arranged to bring per- haps the greatest temperance fighter in the United States to Birmingham thi7 fall for a series of lectures. The record of this man in other cities has been in many cases to start the fight and push 1t through The Pastors union at it's last meeting gave it's approval to the invita- tion, and from that 1t would seem in line with the movement. The Women's Chris ton Temperance union is eager to bring the matter to a head, as 1t had several representatives at the pastors meeting last month.
 If the ministers do decide to discuss the matter, they seem determined to have their say in executive session.

SHERIFF PLEASED
 OVER QUIET WEEK
LAW AGAINST PLACING TORPE- DOES OR OTHER MISSILES ON TRACKS WILL BE MORE RIGIDLY ENFORCED THAN EVER.

Sheriff Higdon last night expressed his great delight at the peaceful week just ended, saying that he thought 1t tribute to the quality of the citizenship that no serious difficulties have taken place, such as almost invariably occur under similar circumstances in other cities.
 During last week, he said, there was nothing more than a few little fights and the explosion of torpedoes on the tracks to disturb the peace. He calls attention to the fact that the law against putting tor pedoes will be more rigidly enforced this week than before. Patrols will be sta toned along the various lines, and chill dren or men will be arrested for placing anything on the tracks. This Is done in protection to the ladies and children who ride the cars, as they are frightened al- most Into mysteries by the explosion of a torpedo. The sheriff wishes to impress the fact that no fun must be indulged in, that it is too serious a matter, where a rude joke by supporters of either side might bring on a world of trouble.
 The deputies brought in nearly a dozen boys and young fellows charged with dis turbing the peace yesterday. Colonel Hig- don gave them a careful lecture, and on their promise not to repeat 1t turned them loose. Three foreigners were among the number who were charged with soaping the tracks on the Powderly line.

 Morning.

"A year ago l was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position In the school room be- cause of nervousness.
 T was telling a friend about 1t and she said, We drink nothing at meal time but Postum Food Coffee, and 1t is such a comfort to have something we can en- joy drinking with the children
 'I was astonshed that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee. but she said Postum was the most health full drink in the world for children as we'll as for older ones. and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be fact
 My first trial was failure The cook boiled 1t four or five minutes and 1t tasted so fiat that l was in despair. but determined to give 1t one more trial. This time we followed the directions and boiled 1t fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was com pletely won by it's rich delicious flavor. Tn short time l noticed decided im- provement in my condition. and kept growing better and better month after month until now l am perfectly healthy. and do my work fin the school room with ease and pleasure. I would not return to the nevre-destroying regular coffee for any money"

He does not like foreign countries, how- ever. as he states everyone over thera thinks an American Is a walking mint. He would not talk of his foreign trip very much, as 1t was a nightmare to him. He says he made the quickest trip on record through Europe and Asia and that he would sometimes go as long as four days without food, and that hs was arrested over thirty different times.
 Too Many Offers of Work.
 shikey Jim says 1t Is hls object to live as nearly as he can without any effort on his part and that he always skins a person when he can, but that he has never denied being a hobo. as he finds it pays to admit being one. Peo- pie in Birmingham like to work too we'll to suit him. He says that every time he goes to a man for help that ths man wants to put him to work at good wages; that he doesn't want to york; and that the people here are too wide awake to let him skin them.
 .nilxey Jim thanked the three men for the supper they had given him and said he intended to get out of town on the next train, but that In case he returned to Birmingham again that he would cer- tainly call on them.

RUN SEVEN MILES
 TO CATCH BURGLAR
HOUNDS MAKE GREAT RUN FROM TRUSSVlLLE COMMIS SSARY THROUGH WooDs-WHITE MAN LANDED IN COUNTY JAIL.

One of the most exciting and suc- cessful bloodhound chases yet pulled off by Sheriff Higdon's animals was that in the country around Trussville yesterday morning.
 The commissary of the Southern Steel company was broken into Saturday night, and the burglar was discovered at his work. He escaped leaving his hat nearby. The storekeeper had the presence of mind tc keep everybody away from the trail and when about four hours later, Deputy Parker arrived with the bunch of dogs they took up the trail from the old hat immediately and ran three miles through negro settlements and woods to negro house, where the inmates said a white man had stopped and sold a pistol.
 The dogs circled around the house, as the negroes said the man had done, two or three times, and then started off for three and a half miles more of the chase. They then came to a house where a bunch of negroes were playing craps. As they approached the white man stepped out on the veranda, and started to run, when the dogs hemmed him in on the porch, and bayed at him as if they had caught a squirrel.
 He was taken back to Trussvlle, given preliminary hearing before the justice and yesterday afternoon was in the coun- ty jail, bound over to the grand jury. His name is Obin Newson. There were others connected with him, but he re- fuses to disclose their names.
 As far as could be ascertained jewelry of considerable value had been stolen besides pistols and other stuff. None of this has yet been found. Colonel Hig- don has ordered two fine bloodhounds from the Indian Territory to cost more than $20O The kennels have been moved out to the Colonels farm near Wood lawn

STRIKE ORDERED
 FOR NOON TODAY
Indications Are That Few VIII
 Respond to Appeal
NOON WILL TELL THE TALE
Rumors of Secret Meeting of Trades Council Were Current Last Night But Nothing Definite Could
 Be Learned.

At noon today the general strike called by j. E. Jacob. president of the Birming- ham Trades Council will go into effect and it is expected that some part, but not all of the 12,OOO organized working men of the Birmingham district will cease work until the strike is declared off
 That the strike order or rather the call made to the workingmen will not be fully responded to in the district Is practically certain, for 1t has developed that some of the unions of the city and district have not received authority from their headquarters to go out on strike, while it is also learned that some local unions have manifested little desire to take part in a general strike.
 Will Be Decided at Noon.
 The matter will be decided today at noon. Definite information as to the plans of certain union organizations was not obtainable yesterday although many rumors of meetings were being discussed on the streets.
 Outwardly there was no change in con- ditions in Birmingham yesterday relative to the street railway service or in labor affairs and there was not the slightest indication of excitement or feeling on the part of any one. The street cars handled the Sunday traffic as usual, while there was no gathering of crowds on the streets at any time.
 Rumors of Secret Meeting.
 rumor was heard on the streets yes terday evening that the Trades Council held secret meeting during the aft ernoon but nothing was reported as to the proceedings.
 Several merchants and business men were heard yesterday discussing the im- pending strike and while they declared that business had been very poor this spring on account of the weather and was still further affected by the street railway difficulties of the past two weeks they did not appear to be greatly con cerned over the call for a strike and said they would wait for developments.
 Nothing was given out by the dis charged carmen or their representatives yesterday and their movements during the day were inconspicuous.
 The extent of the strike cannot be fore told hut will probably be very fully known before today's close.
