"Of course do not expect to see

such economies will compel It's install

the big items Of expense to q modern

vessels will consume 10000 tons OF

the gas engine this could be reduced
TO 5000 or 1000 tons. a saving of
several thousand dollars.

eral years and has demonstrated that
this type of engine in a stationary
plant is capable of generating from
twice to three times as much power
from given amount of coal as the
steam engine. It has also shown that
the gas engine can develop more pow
er from low grade coal.
The purpose of the Government has
not been to develop the gas engine.
but to increase the efficiency of the
coal supply of the country, which is
now being depleted. The Govern.
ment spends $10,00O,000 yearly for
coal. and it was primarily to get the
best results from this expenditure
that the Investigations of the gas pro-
Queer and gas engine was taken up.

Washington, D. C.-The war vessel
OF the future will be swift, smoke
less. poiseless craft, lying low in the
water. with every vulnerable part be-
low the water line, the entire deck
being for the work of the guns. There
will be no smoke, because there wiN
be no smokestacks. In the night
time there will be nothing to betray
the presence of this invincible fight
ing demon to the enemy.
This prediction was made by Rob-
ert Haywood Fernald, mechanical en-
gineer, who has for several years
been connected with the fuel investi-
cations of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. Mr.. Fernald believes
that the gas engine, or internal COM
bustion motor, as 1t is called by engi-
neers, will be installed in naval yes
sells of the United States within the
next few years.
II expect to see the United States
ahead of every other nation in this
innovation" said Mr.. Fernald. THE
gas engine, In my opinion, Is feasible
on any vessel because of its economy
over the steam engine, but it is espe-
cially desirable on the fighting ship
for the reason that 1t makes no
smoke. The gas is generated in a
producer which has no chimney and
needs none. The coal is turned d.
rectly into gas. which goes straight
to the engine.
THE elimination of the smoke is
sufficient to call for the installation
of the gas engine, yet there are many
other features in its favor. The yes
sci would have a free deck for the
play of its big guns. There would be
no towering stacks to be punctured
or destroyed, thus Gripping the boat.
Then it would be unnecessary to
carry as much coal. for the same
power can be developed with one
third less than the steam engine

QUESTION IN THE
 HEALTH DEPARTMENT

There is current a very interesting controversy in municipal affairs bring ing in the question, Unless the Jef- ferson County Medical association nominates other gentlemen for assist ants and clerk to the sanitary and health department of the city, can the council oust the present incumb ents ?"
 The controversy was caused by the action of the council in suspending the elections of Messrs. Street and Mo- Kennie as assistants to the sanitary department, of Dr. Sutton as clerk to the health officer, and of referring to a committee the nomination of Dr. R. B. Hardness for reelection as city health officer
 The law stipulates that these offices are to be filled by the council with men nominated by the Jefferson County Medical association. It is also pro- vided that each incumbent shall re- tain his office until his successor is elected and qualified.
 In case the council should desire to hold up the salaries of these men after their terms of office have expired it is now a question as to whether they could not by manda mus or other legal proceedings compel the council to pay them.

IMPOSSIBLE TO
 IMPEACH SHERIFF
IT IS POINTED OUT THAT NEW CONSTITUTION MADE PROVl- SION, BUT THAT STATUTE HAS NEVER BEEN ENACTED.

As the law stands on the statute books and as a result of a ruling by the su- preme court it is said to be impossible to impeach a sheriff of any county in Alabama. The sheriff may be indicted for any wrongdoing on his part but inn peachment proceedings could not be in= stituted against him and he would simply face trial in the criminal courts on the same footing as any private citizen.
 The new constitution of Alabama states that a sheriff may be removed from of- flee under such regulation as may be prescribed by law" but the supreme court has ruled that the code does not provide any regulations for removing a sheriff. This decision was handed down a few years ago when Attorney General Matthew Wilson filed impeachment pro- ceedings against Sheriff A. D. Rogers of Madison county, charging him with neg lect of duty in connection with Q lynch ing. The supreme court ruled that there were no grounds for the proceedings.
 Section 174 of the new constition in book No. 3. code of Alabama, 1907. says lndl Snerll may De removed under such regulations as prescribed by law. It reads as follows:
 'The chancellors, judges of the circuit courts, judges of the probate courts and judges from other courts from which an appeal may be taken directly to the supreme court and solicitors and sher- ifs may be removed from office for any of the causes specified in the preceding section or elsewhere in this constitution by the supreme court under such regu- lations as may be prescribed by law The legislature may provide TOT the impeaeh- ment or removal of other officers than these named in this article"
 It was pointed out yesterday that the lawmakers did not put the provision in the form of law.

MANY APPLYING
 FOR CITY JOBS

While it is now a practical certainty that no new offices will be created in the city government for the time being at least, and no assistants to the present officials elected, applications for positions that do and do not exist, continue to pour into the office of the mayor.
 The job of purchasing agent, which was rumored probable creation by the coun- cil, has had more applicants than any other. Ten or twelve men, some of them well known, have applied for the post ton of purchasing agent, although no pur- chasing agency will be created.
 For the positions of assistant to tho license inspector. and street commissioner, numerous men have applied. and rumor of more recent date that a new clerk of the police court would be chosen, has caused another list of applicants to apply for city jobs.
 It is stated, however, by members of the council that no new offices will bo created in the immediate future.

BODEKER GIVES
 MEN INSTRUCTIONS

Chief of Police George H. Bodeker has addressed letter to the members of the police department calling attention to re- quirements which. 1t seems. the men have not generally observed.
 The letter sets forth that every officer must have memorandum book in which to write the names of persons arrested and the witnesses in the case in order that the clerk of the police cotft may be furnished with such names. Incident ally Chief Bodeker calls attention to the fact that the grand jury has made com- plaint of officers being unable to fur nish names of witnesses.
 It is also required that officers keep a list of accidents occurring on their beats and list of the stolen articles reported to them. Chief Bodeker also calls attention of the officers to the fact that they are required to attend police court during the trial of persons ar rested by them.
