BIRMINGHAM WINS
 ON EASTERN SIDE
Will Hold an Election in East
 Birmingoam
ELYTON GETS FIRST BLOOD
But Birmingham Will Fight the Matter Out in the Courts and Hopes Yet to Have Election
 On the West.

Judge Greene of the probate court yester- day rendered several decisions in the re- cent incorporation muddles which begin to clear away the clouds. In the first place he granted the petition of the city to take in the eastern territory. East Bir- mngham and Kingston, while he denied the petition of East Birmingham on the ground that Birmingham's petition had the precedence.
 But when he came to the western situ- ation the Elyton election was sustained, and Birminghams petition for an cleo tion to take place in Green Springs and the contingent territory was overruled. It is thus seen that Elyton won the first blood, but her fight with the larger city is not half begun. Birmingham feels her self perfectly in the right when she de- nands the western territory, and will fight it out.
 In the first place City Attorney Ed Smith will mandamus Judge Greene to show why the election asked for was not granted. Then after the election of officers is held in Elyton Monday 1t will be attacked by the city by quo warranto proceedings
 So the matter has gotten into the courts sooner than was expected, and it is prob able that the whole matter will be set tied before another month. At any rate the election for the east will be ordered, and unless it is voted down Birmingham will almost double her area by these eastern requirements.
 At the same time Elyton goes on calm ly attending to her own business. A mass meeting was held last night in the Walker store and no little enthusiasm manifested. After considering the situation a full ticket for the city officers was put in the field, and it now semes that Frank w. Smith will be elected mayor without opposition. MT, Smith is a promsiong young lawyer and he will give the town the proper push.
 These were nominated for aldermen: First ward, w. A. 4aarriner; Second ward, C. M. Vitz; Third ward, w. A. Brown; Fourth ward, D. H. Smith; Fifth ward, T. P. Alley. l. II. Howell acted as chair man and F. S. Stevens was secretary. The voters of the town will go to the polls Monday and elect the proposed ticket

LABOR DEBATE IN FRANCE. DeschanePs Brilliant Speech In the
 Chamber of Deputies.

Paris, May S.-The general debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the gov ernment's policy in labor matters. which promises to last several days, was marked today by a brilliant ad- dress by Paul Deschanel, a former president of the Chamber and now president of the committee on foreign affairs.
 M Deschanel declared the democ- racy had allowed itself to be led by the federation of labor noisy and revolu- uonary organization, composed of only 100000 of the 12,000,000 workers in France" The struggle, he said. was now between legal and revolutionary unionism the object of the latter be- ing the paralysis of trade by means of a general strike in conjunction with anti-militarism. Both were illegal and unpatriotic. In conclusion, M Des- chanel appealed to the Chamber to up- hold the republican laws.
 The debate, in which no member of the cabinet has yet taken part, went over until Friday.

From the New York Times.
 Uncle Constantine from Fishkill Land ing was in town recently, for the first time in thirty years. His relatives were industrious in showing him the sights but it was extremely difficult to get him to express surprise at anything. He even made disparaging comments, now and then, upon what he saw. and drew com parisons favorable to his own town. One afternoon they attended a crowded per formance at the circus.
 Uncle Constantine.' asked his niece. did you ever see such a number of peo- pie gathered together before?"
 Well" said -sthe' old man, slowly, as his eye ran critically over the thousands that filled the Garden, "I don't know IS I ever did in buildin'. but have to bush-meetin'! !'

New York, May S.-Passengers on the big German steamer Kaiser Wilhelm IT., which arrived today from Europe. de- clare that the liner had a remarkably narrow escape from collision with the German protected cruiser Bremen in a dense fog off Nantucket yesterday.

How Pabst Grows Malt

 Malt is b barley-g in, sprouted and partially grown. Most malsters force this pro- cess in three or four days time.

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside of the imitation
plugs of tobacco is fue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filled
with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made so much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
lation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many of these limitations are
