Post Office Supplies May Go Through Magic City-Letter Received From Third Post Master
 General.

Birmingham. Ala, Jan. 9-(Special) Birmingham will probably be desig- mated as distributing point for sup plies for postoffices in Alabama and Mississippi in the near future.
 A letter received at the local post office from the third assistant post master general, asks In reference to room in the Federal building here, looking to the making of Birmingham of a depository for supplies.
 At present the postal cards. stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers sold through the postoffices are order ed from the St. Louis postoffice by the postoffiees in Alabama and Missis- sippi. It is believed that time can be saved by making Birmingham the dis tributing point and in all probability the change will be made shortly.
 There Is plenty of room in the base ment of the Federal building. If the depository is placed here it will mean employment for a number of additional clerks. It is intended, according to the letter received from the department in Washington to place stock at this point of two and half millions stamp ed envelopes, four millions postal cards and newspaper wrappers In proportion. The supplies will be shipped to the depository by the car lots Instead of acquisitions from the postmasters be- ing sent to St. Louis, they will be directed to Birmingham.

Judge Feagin of the police court to- day tn acquitting two negroes arrest cd onfa charge of violating the prohi- bttion laws, took occasion to give some instruction to the police in regard to the law. He commended the police on being diligent in enforcing the prohi- bition laws but asked that they be sure of their cases before making arrests. He stated that it was not against the law for a man to drink out of a bottle except on railroad train or perhaps in street car. It will be necessary to show that one man gives another liquor to secure conviction, the mere discovery that person has a bottle and did not have it some time before not being sufficient to convict, A ne- gro woman who was arrested day be- fore yesterday on a charge of violating the prohibition laws. 1t being shown that negroes were seen coming Qrom her house with bottles of whiskey and the officers found two jugs containing liquor in her house. was fined S90 and 1SO days extra in the city prisons.

 Attorney John S. Miller. of waIsh,s counsel. recited list of bonds of tine Southern Indiana Railway Company which the bank had held at various dates as collateral for loans, and ellie ited from the witness the statement that he considered the transaction profitable to the bank.

 Two hours of cross examination of Mir. Walsh by Assistant District Attor- ney Fletcher Dobyns this afternoon, failed to change in any material point the testimony which the ex-bank pres ident has been engaged in giving in his own behalf during a greater portion of the past two days. The Interrogation was interrupted at frequent intervals by argument by attorneys over the propriety of questions put to the wit ness in which argument the court of- ten Joined.
 The subject matter covered by the cross examination was chiefly the deal ings of the Equitable Trust Company an adjunct of the Chicago National Bank, with the Bedford Quarries Com pany, the Bedford Belt Railroad and the Centralia and Chester Railroad, The cross-examipation will probably be completed tomorrow.
 The interrogation reverted to Walsh's relations with c. M. Foreman receiver of the Centralia and Chester Railroad. which were considered to some extent yesterday. Walsh denied the truth of statements made by Foreman as a wit ness for the prosecution.

He said:
 "I never made such assertion in my life. I had referred analytically to dif- ferent kinds of witnesses. I divided women witnesses into classes. After defining the method to be employed as to women witnesses generally, I con- cluded with the last class--the few who bring suits against men for money for certain well-known alleged reasons. It was of this last class of women I said that revenge or cupidity was their purpose--and the oath a useless thing They were there to accomplish their object. Of all other women, I spoke in the terms that honorable and Chris. tian men employ referring to good women"
