TWO DELEGATIONS
 GOING TO CHICAGO
ANTiS HAVE MADE CERTAIN DE- HANDS OF TAFT WHICH IT IS GENERALLY THOUGHT WILL NOT BE COMPLIED WITH.

Anti-administration republicans in Ala bama are free in their prediction that there will be a contesting delegation to the republican national convention.
 As administration republicans are can did In stating their preference for MT Taft, 1t is considered certain that there will be contesting delegation from Ala bama unless MT. Taft complies with the demands made upon him by the anti-ad- ministration wing.
 In answer to the ultimatum of the antis. Secretary Taft has not as yet made an- swer. It is now considered that he will not do so. for the simple reason that if he complied he would alienate the af- lection of the administration faction.
 The demands of the antis were that no member of the state committee be an officeholder; that Frank Hitchcock have nothing to do with national politics in Alabama, and that delegates to the na- tional convention be chosen on the basis of the vote for Roosevelt in the last election, and not by population.
 As concerns the first demand. it Is now fact that the chairman of the state convention, J. o. Thompson, is an office holder, and concerning the second, Mr. Hitchcock has already been appointed Tafts manager in the south.
 So there Is nothing other for the antis to do but send a protesting and contest ing delegation. Just what tales out of school will be told is what interests, for the antis have threatened to tell such unless their demands are complied with
 Spice was injected into local political gossip yesterday when man very prom inent in republican affairs in the state made the declaration that Mir. Hitchcock would be in Alabama during the month of February. Plans are on foot to entertain him extensively

NO PRESCRIPTION
 FOR LAUDANUM
Narcotics Can Be Sold In Quantities of Not More Than Five
 Grains.

With reference to the selling of laudanum and other compounds con taining opiates, Sheriff Higdon has been advised by pr. R. F. Lovelady, author of the law forbidding the promiscuous selling of narcotic drugs, that an amendment to the law passed in July was adopted at the last session of the legislature which allows the sale of laudanum without prescription in quan- titles not to exceed one ounce, the amendment making the law, in this re- spect less prohibitive.
 It will be recalled that a few days ago Sheriff Higdon stated his intention to stop the country stores from selling laudanum without prescription because 1t was a violation of the law, having overlooked the amendment and pr. Lovelady seeing the statement in the salts, except on prescriptions of legal ized physicians or dentists, can be sold in quantities of not more than five grains, while paregoric can be sold in any quantity and any other prepara- tions of opium containing not more than two grains to the ounce may be sold without prescription.

VARIOUS OPINIONS ABOUT STREET TAX Will It Accomplish the Purpose
 Intended2 J. R. COPELAND STANDS PAT Thinks the 13 Aldermen Favoring the Tax Originally Will Have Even
 Greater Reason To Main
 tain Their Position.
J. R. COPELAND STANDS PAT

The sentiment of the business men is pretty well divided on the street tax ques- ton. The question in most minds seems to be whether the city can get along without it or not, and whether it really reaches the men who do not bear a share of the governmental expense at present.
 That there is politics closely mixed up in the question as it now stands before the city council is also often heard Among those who favor the tax from the citizens point of view Is George H. Estes, because We absolutely need the money Mayor Ward stated in his veto that we will have to borrow $2O0,0O0 before the year is out. The law only allows the city to borrow s60,0O0, so l want to know where the remainder is going to come from.
 "Of course, I am against any further tax if it can possibly be avoided, but l do not see where else it can come from, and l am going to vote to carry the ordinance over the head of the mayor
 Among the citizens who favor the tax is A. L. Fulenwider of the Birmingham Realty company: Tt is a very good thing, indeed, he said, and l think the coun- ell ought to pass it beyond a doubt. The city must have the revenue, and I see no reason why it should not be divided out among the people who get an advantage from the streets and institutions of the city of Birmingham.
 Alderman John ". O'Neill said: "As the alderman who introduced the resolu- ton doing away with the old street tax, I am partly responsible for it's repeal, and l still think 1t out of the question for a city of the size and importance of Bir- mingham. The tax will not do what it's champions claim, but means an additional tax on the merchants and their clerks, demoralization, and great injury to our city abroad
 Alderman John R. Copeland says tha. others may butt their heads against the wall in their zeal for political preferment, but he is going to vote for the street tax as the only remedy for the occasion. q believe the 13 aldermen who voted for 1t before will have even greater reason to support it at the next meeting. With scrip staring us in the face, any other action would be suicidal"
 Robert Jemison, Jr., declared that 1t should not be passed except as the very last resort. "I do not think the small sum of money would justify the trouble which it would cause in collection"
 r. Caheen had this to say: '"rhe veto is a good thing. It takes this great hard ship off the workers whom it might ac- cidentally reach, and assures the mer- chants and business men, who are about all the collector would lay his hands on anyway, that they will not be further burdened.'
 The laboring men are unanimously against the tax. The officers of the Trades Council and the Board of Trade oppose it. Union meetings are constantly objecting to 1t. The fight in the council will be warm one beyond doubt, and the outcome means much to the fighters.

MRS. SHINNEHAN
 KILLS HERSELF
Woman In Poor Health Ends Her Life With a Bullet at Acton
 Mines.

A meagre report of the suicide of Mrs. Shinnehan at Acton Mines, about four miles from Oxmoor, was received last night. It is understood that Mrs. Shin- nehan, who is the wife of the foreman of the Acton Mines, shot herself and died within few minutes. She had been in very bad health for some time and this is thought to have been the cause of her rash action. She spent some time in St. Vincent's hospital prior to her return to her home at Acton few weeks ago.
 Owing to the inability to get connection with Oxmoor or Acton Mines over the telephone it was impossible to get fur ther details of the suicide last night. It is understood, however, that the Shin nehans are well-to-do and are highly re- spected in the community in which they live. Arrangements for the burial of the deceased will be made today, Shaw Son, undertakers, being in charge.

MORE SHAKE-UPS
 IN SOUTHERN
Rumor Says Some of the Superintend- encies Will Be Abolished and Con
 soIidated With Others.

Since M. NJ Richey, formerly manag ger of the middle and western districts of the Southern railway, has complied with the request for his resignation, the report Is current that several of the division superintendents are trem- bling for their heads.
 Following the general order of re- trenchment, it is expected that several Of the numerous division superintend- encies with their superintendents will be abolished, and the territory com bined with other divisions.
 Some years ago, there were consid- erably fewer divisions on the South- ern than now exist Following the mar vellous increase in business some two years ago, there was general reor- ganization of the operating depart ments, and a dozen or more new divis- ions with their superintendents, office forces, train and road masters created. Under MT. Richey there were IA divis- ions with their superintendents.
 On a recent visit to Birmingham MT. Richey was quoted as follows: There is no doubt but that the freight traf- fic of the Southern is not as good as it was some years ago. Then. freight trains on the Southern averaged 30 miles per day, while now 16 miles per day is considered good. This is caused by the fact that more trains are operated, although they still have to travel over single tracks, causing much loss of time on sidings" This remark was in reference to the policy of the road in increasing its freight equipment without providing mora tracks and facilities.

SMITH SUIT BROUGHT.
Damages of $5o,ooo Sought For Death
 of Julius c. Smith.

Alice B. Smith, as administratrix de bonis non of Julius c. Smith. deceased. vs. The St. Louis and San Francisco Rail- road company, is the style of a new suit filed in the circuit court yesterday, in which the plaintiff sues for s50,O0O dam- ages for the death of her intestate.
 Julius c. Smith, 1t will be recalled. was killed in a collision between a Louisville and Nashville and Frisco train at Pratt City on October 12, 1907, while acting in the capacity of Pullman conductor on the Frisco train. The two railroad tracks cross at Pratt City and it was at this crossing that the Louisville and Nash vile sideswiped the Frisco train. the death of Conductor Smith resulting.
 The plaintiff ayers in the suit filed that the death of her intestate was proximate- ly caused by the negligence of the de- fendant's agents or servants, 1t being specially averred that the death was caused by the negligence of the con ductor and engineer operating the train of the defendant. in that they failed to bring the train to a full stop, within 100 feet of the crossing.
 S. D. and J. B. Weakley, representing the plaintiff, have given notice demand ing a trial of the case by a jury.

CITY HALL FORCE
 ID SHUN POLITICS All Departments Agree to Get
 Down to Business MAYOR CALLS CONFERENCE E All Realized That Business Was Suf- ferlng Under the Recent Political Disputes-Everybodys Time
 Needed at Present.
MAYOR CALLS CONFERENCE

Now that the mudd1e in the courts Is settled, and the chairmanship of the City Council Is no more a matter of doubt the city hall has unanimously decided to settle down to the business of the city. With this idea in view Mayor Ward yesterday called a meet ing in his office of the department heads
 It was a kind of cabinet meeting, a family consultation. While there has never been any friction between the Mayor and any department, except tn @ police, they have all realized how busi- ness has suffered under the political disputes that have been in progress.
 Thee Mayor assured them that they would serve their own interests as we'll by getting the municipal ma- chinery running smoothly and keeping the political dust cleaned out.
 He requested them to drop politics. If there must be a campaign on the streets, well and good, but the citi- zens must have no ground for calling the city hall political hot pot" "City halP' rumors must stop, and only business be attended to.
 This was unanimously the opinion of all the department heads. It will be remembered that last year, after the city committee put the small officers on the ticket, none of the incumbents could be found around the city hall. Very naturally, they were fighting for their lives, and spent most of the time on the streets hustling for votes. When a citizen wanted a permit, or anything he had to go down on the corner and find the public official.
 With the city in financial straits and needing every minute of every body's time to help cut down expenses, and with a greatly reduced force, 1t is recognized that that kind of work won't do. It is believed that the city committee will recognize these cir cumstances and leave the names off the ticket, whether the primary be early or late.
 The city hall has pledged itself to stay out of politics for the present. Meanwhile, every Monday before coun- cil meetings, the Mayor will hold these consultations with the department heads, in order to bind their interests closer together, and get better re- suits

HOUSE AT MERCY OF
 WEST END FLAMES
NO FIRE PROTECTION MADE IT. NECESSARY TO STAND AND WATCH HOME BURN-GARDEN HOSE WAS ONLY WEAPON.

Let 1t burn! Nothing to fight it withl
 Another illustration of the lack of fore sight of men, in that they builded a town pons with which to fight the fire demon, was given at West End yesterday morn ing in the total destruction by fire of the residence of Michael Albright. Only good fortune saved a large portion of the town from being destroyed, it so happening that the wind picked out the only exposed di- rection to blow the sparks.
 The house was pretty frame cottage at the corner of Pearl street and Cotton avenue. The roof caught on fire, proba- ply from a defective f1ue, and had gained good headway before being discovered. But few men were in West End at that time of day-11 o'clock-and then it was that Mrs. Albright's feminine neighbors rose to the occasion. Instead of becoming hysterical they began moving furniture out of the house, delicate ladies whom the lifting of a duster or the flirting of a dish cloth would tire, picking up heavy furni- ture and handling 1t with the ease of a truck driver.
 Insurance to the amount of $1500 on the house and $700 on the furniture was car ried by MT. Albright and this amount, 1t is believed, will jhst about cover the dam age.
 West End has no fire-fghting appara- tus or water plugs, and the only means of fighting the fire was by small garden hose, which was powerless against the rapidly spreading flames. Practically all of the furniture was gotten out of the house, although all of the clothing was destroyed.
 One man climbed upon the roof of the front porch and tried to overcome the fire with a small hose. He became very much excited and refused to get off the porch, although it was in flames and about to cave in. A negro man was sent up ladder to get him and bring him down, but was driven back by the brave fireman, who played a stream on the ne- gro's face. The hose was finally jerkeo out of his hands, after which he sat down on the roof and began telling the crowd what he thought of them. After much eff fort and moral suasion he was brought down to terra firma.
 About this time a wild rabbit, who had his lair under the house, found the heat too great for his comfort and started in search of other quarters. Small boys spotted him Immediately, however, and before Brer Rabbit knew what had hap pened he was having the chase of his life. Up and down Cotton avenue for block, with over fifty boys and men in hot pur- sui, he lodged and circled. Afer several minutes chase freedom was almost his, for clear path lay before him, and he struck out in that direction for dear life. A lone laundryman had just gotten out of his wagon and turning saw the bunch of fuzz coming towards him. Just time enough for him to reach out his hand and catch Brer Rabbit like he would base ball.

CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape Nuts.


 Healthy babies don't cry and the well- nourished baby that is fed on Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby. Many babies who cannot take any other food relish the perfect food, GrapeNuts, and get we'll
 My little baby was given up by three doctors who said that the condensed milk on which I had fed her had ruined the childs stomach One of the doctors told me that the only thing to do would be to try Grape-Nuts so 1 got some and prepared it as follows: I soaked 11s tablespoonfuls in one pint of cold water for half an hour, then l strained off the liquid and mixed F teaspoonfuls of this strained Grape-Nuts juice with six tea spoonfuls of rich milk, put in a pinch of salt and little sugar. warmed it and gave it to baby every two hours.
 Tn this simple, easy way I saved baby's life and have built her up to a strong, healthy child, rosy and laughing. The food must certainly be perfect to have such wonderful effect as this. I can truthfully say I think it is the best food in the world to raise delicate babies on and is also a delicious. healthful food for grown-ups as we have discovered in oui family"
