THANKS BIR1NINGHAM M
 FOR HER HOSPITALITY

General Commanding the Veterans Clement A. Evans yesterday issued the following order of thanks for the hospi- ta,ity of Birmingham:
 Headquarters United Confederate Vet e-ans, New Orleans, La., June Il, 190S.- General Order No. ?: With devout thanks to God for His mercy In permitting the survivors of the Confederate army once more to meet in annual convention, the general commanding announces the term ination of the eighteenth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans
 Again have these old men been allowed to hold conversations and lived over in each others society the occurrences of the great interstate war, and tell of the deeds of the dead comrades.
 The general commanding desires to ex- tepd to the city of Birmingham and her people, on his own behalf as well as on behalf of the dear comrades, the many hospitalities that have been extended on all sides.
 Though the attendance was in excess of what was looked for and the provisions made for the entertainment of the visitors at Hotel Gordon greatly strained our, gracious hosts were equal to the occasion; the accommodations, both as to the food and quarters, was all that could be de-

CITY POLITICIANS ID ENTER THE RING Executive Committee Will Hold Caucus This Week WILL BE WARM CAMPAIGN Department Heads May Go On Ticket. Early Primary Seems Probable
 and Plurality Plan
 Is Popular.
WILL BE WARM CAMPAIGN

Now that the veterans are gone, the Birmingham municipal election will open up in full blast. The members of the city democratic executive commit tee will hold caucus in few dass, probably tomorrow, and before another week it will have met and acted.
 The primary cannot be later than the middle of August, and all indications point to a settlement of democratic squabbles before the middle of July.
 With two candidates running for Mayor, two for the city council, and a dozen men running like rabbits for aldermanic positions, it is claimed that the election must not be put off any longer than can be helped.
 The city hall people are going .o make d great effort to keep the de- partment heads off the ticket. but since the people in the last municipal phi mary decided by an overwh elming ma jority that these names should be voted on, it is probable that nearly every department head will have to go before the voters.
 The committee will probably decide for plurality plan as the state com mittee has adopted this, anS recom- mended it to all committees in the will be a lively one and will open one of the warmest campaigns Birmingham has ever known.

sired. The desirable result was in 10 small degree due to the careful manage rent of Col. George Gorff, and thanks are extended to him for his almost perfect management.
 No one could have managed the crowds on the stage and in the convention in better way than Capt. Frank P. O'Brien, and those who had dealings with him will look back for years with gratitude for his consideration and care. The lit- tie tots under the training of E. B. Will Hams added joy and gladness to the fearts of the veterans, for the charming way in which they sang, and their sweet voices and pretty faces. -c
 The general commanding expresses his gratitude to all those to the chairman of the entertainment committed; to the merchants and others for the grand dec- crations; to the railroads for reduc ad rates and other courtesies the hotels and boarding houses for low rates and, to the people in general for the part they have taken to add to the pleasure of himself and beloved comrades.

DRILL |S GIVEN
 FOR THE VETERANS Big Fireworks Display at Fair
 grounds Last Night CAMP ALMOST DESERTED Hotel John B. Gordon Will Soon Be Thing of tke Past-Veteran Were
 All Loud In Their Praises
 of Birmingham.
CAMP ALMOST DESERTED

Yesterday afternoon competitive drill ana exhibition was given at the fair grounds by the National Guard. The companies participating in the drill were Company G of Birmingham, Company B of Birmingham and Company A of Wood iawn. Troop D and Battery D of this city gave exhibition manuevers. About 5000 people were attracted to the fair grounds to see this, among them being d great many veterans. This exhibition was arranged as one of the entertainment features for the veterans, who are en- oemped at Hotel Gordon.
 The prize which was a handsome silver loving cup, was won by Company G, bet ter known as the Jefferson Volunteers This company whose captain is R. L. Gregory is one of the oldest in this city. It has been the winner of a great many honors and this cup is just one more trophy added to it's large collection. All of the soldiers drilled well, but the judges were unanimous in their decision that the Jefferson Volunteers, in precision, in training, and in general excellence sur Iassed all of the others.
 in addition to the above features, sev- ,ral races were held, both horse and motorcycle. Fast time was made in all of them, but as they were held only for the benefit of the veterans, no prizes were given. Stubbs, who has held the reputation for being the best motor oyolist in the city for some time, won the principle events.
 Last night a very large crowd atten1- ed the second and last display of Pains fireworks, which began at o'clock and was free to Confederate veterans, as be- fore Last nights exhibition was as good If not better, than the one given last Tuesday night, and all who were present greatly enjoyed it.
 Hotel Gordon is now practically desert ed. Many of the "Confeds" left yester- day morning and afternoon and the remainder started for their homes last night. Each and every one of them was loud in praise of Birmingham and it's people, and all expressed great thanks ft r the way in which they had been en- tartained during their brief stay Tonight tie camp will be totally deserted, and the stars and bars will be hauled down from it's lofty pinnacle and stored away to await another reunion.

VETERANS STAND PARADE ADMIRABLY
ONLY THREE HEAT PROSTRA- TONS OCCURRED AND THE OLD WARRIORS WERE REVIVED IN A SHORT TIME-MANY RUMoRS.

The veterans stood the long march ana hot weather of yesterday with fortitude really remarkable, only three cases or prostration being reported, and none or these it is believed will turn out serl- ously.
 Maj. T. S. White of Birmingham, member of Forests calvary, was over come by the heat on Twentieth street after he had traversed little over two miles of the course. Shaw & Sons ambu- lance responded immediately and removed him to his home in West End, where he Is reported to be resting well.
 James Weaver, one of the veterans from Mountain Creek, was prostrated at Capitol park, and was removed to the emergency hospital in the city hall in Shaws ambulance.
 Another member of Forests calvary was stricken with passing the courthouse being rendered unconscious. He was re- moved in the ambulance of the Green Un- dertaikng Co. to a Pullman car in the Frisco yards.
 Several rumors were afioat as to other people having met with accidents but when traced down proved to be ground less.

JEROME HAS NOT
 BEEN EXONERATED

Plattsburg, N. Y, June 1.-Commis- soner Richard L. Hand of Elizabethtown. N. Y, who was designated by Governor Hughes to investigate the charges against District Attorney Jerome of New York, was told over the telephone today of the story published in New York that his de- cision had been reached and that 1t was understood that while he criticised some acts of Jerome, he had found the facts did not warrant removal.
 The story went on to state that Com- missioner Hand had recommended the dismissal of the charges.
 In denying this report as a naked falsehood,' commissioner said:
 '.'rhe story Is absolutely without founda- ton. There are some 5000 typewritten pages of evidence to go over, and 1 have just begun the work of reviewing it. The time for filing supplemental briefs ex- pired only last night. As yet 1 have re- ceived neither MT. Jerome's nor MT. pieree's supplemental briefs. Further more l have read in the papers that new charges have been filed with Governor Hughes and that Governor Hughes has given MT. Jerome until June 16 to make reply, and Governor Hughes is quoted as saying that he will send along these new charges together with MT. Jeromes reply to be taken up by me.
 q have received no official information in regard to these letters of charges, but assume the newspaper reports are cor rect and that they will all go into my grist with the other charges

FAMOUS COMPANY B.
Nashville Veterans Make Fine Show
 ing With Their Full Equipment.

One of the finest looking companies of veterans in the parade yesterday was Company B of the Tennessee national guard While this company is a member of the state militia, their relation is in reality an honorary one. Their uniforms are of Confederate gray, cut exactly according to the pattern of the uniforms worn by the Confederates during the civil war.
 In the parade they made fine showing TEe state of Tennessee has furnished them with guns and full equipment, and despite their advancing years they carried the heavy guns with an ease and grace rvaling that of the young militiamen
 This company is 75 strong, but only brought 50 of it's members along to the reunion, the others being detained on ac- count of illness and other causes. It was organized about ten years ago, being originally made up of members of the Frank Cheatham bivouac, though any Confederate soldier is eligible to member ship in it.
 Sponsors for this company are picked from the daughters and granddaughters of it's members, Miss Lela Caldwell being sponsor for the Birmingham reunion. A feature of the parade was the appearance of Miss Sarah Mcconnell marching with the company. Miss Mcconnell acted as sponsor for Company R last year and it was at their special request that she marched with them.
 This company returns to Nashville this morning at o'clock.

POLICE OFFICERS HAD
 ALMOST NOTHING TO DO

With practically all of the poulation of Jefferson county centering on Birmingham in addition to 6O,OOO visitors, the past week has proven the quietest in the police and sheriff circles of any week during the year. In fact during the three days of the reunion there have not been enough arrests made to half fill a jail even as small as Elyton's.
 Last Monday proved terrible day to violators of the prohibition laws, nearly 20 of this particular class of law breakers being arrested by the sheriff's department on that day. Since then, however, things have been very qulet
