 UP MORRIS HOTEL
GRlEL BROS. HAVE NOT YET DE- cIDED WHAT DISPOSITION THEY WILL MAKE OF PROPERTY RE- GENTLY PURCHASED.

NJ. Clifford and Bert Clifford have given up the Morris hotel and will not run it after May 1. As yet no arrangements have been made public by the owners, the Griel brothers of Montgomery, as to who will conduct the hotel when the Cliffords surrender it.
 The lease that MT. Clifford had on the Morris hotel expired early in the year, and father and son have been conducting it from month to month until the prop erty was sold according to the decree of tho court and until the new owners de- cided upon their plans.
 MT. Griel made an offer to the Cliffords recently which they did not care to ac- cept and so surrendered what rights they had. They wanted certain work done on the hotel property and did not feel like making a lease unless those improve ments were made
 One of the owners of the property will be in Birmingham tomorrow, and it is expected that some announcement will be made at that time of what disposition will be made of it.

 Was Found In an
 Alley.

The curtain has been raised on the vag- rant again!
 In likeness and drunkenness, neither white nor black can lie unmolested in Birmingham. The gamblers who have been run out of their dens cannot stand around on the street corners and in sa- looms. So say the policemen. as well as the deputy sherlffs.
 In the quiet of the night after ces- sation of several weeks, county and city officials cautiously slipped out again yes- terday, and gave a crowd of loungers the greatest fright of their lives. 'The Bowery," that strenuous district of an- cient history the last hunting ground of the chief vagrants, was the scene of the raids.
 Early in the night the deputies turned out, armed with warrants already pre- pared for 8 crowd that had been spotted in Hentchell's saloon. They were headed by Chief Brown, and the party was com posed of Minor, Curl, Carter, Davis. Col Her, Cowan, Courson, Allen and Garner.
 When they reached the saloon on First avenue, between Eighteenth and Nine teenth streets, the door was closed by them, and each deputy handcuffed two men to himself Strenuous were the de- nials, and great the claims of industry.
 One old fellow. lying in the corneI drunk and down. had the audacity to humble out that he was the yardmaster of the Southern railroad. However, they were all fifteen carried to Big Rock" and will have to give better evidence of thriftiness than their actions denote
 The second raid was in the same neigh borhood, except in the alleys by Police men Street, Parker. Henderson and Hyatt. Negroes were hauled out one at time from their dens, men and women. and all were marched into Judge Feagins hotel.
 Thirteen they were in number, some being recognized as the most criminal do-nothings that have been arrested for good while. The city Is rid of a goodly bunch for few weeks at any rate.
