some of the wind out of Senator

the senator once wrote to "My Dear
Mr.. Merriam" general counsel for the

courtesy of three round trips from
Little Rock to st. Louis" 1t is i'm

pleasing to reflect that when goven-

himself the duty of deadheading."

WILL START NEW
 PATROL SERVICE
E. D. Drummond Proposes To Put Out Uniformed Men In Business and
 Residence Sections.

On July 1 Birmingham will have uni- formed special policemen In the resi- dence sections of the city. The scheme comes in the form of new enterprise taken up by E. D. Drummond.
 Tn all big cities there Is some form of special night patrol" said MT. Drummond yesterday. "and Birmingham should not be lacking of this method of protecting the life and property of it's citizens. While the matter is entirely new to Blr- mingham I find that 1t takes well.
 My plan Is to employ a number of men, who shall be uniformed. and whom I shall place wherever their services are desired. The remuneration will only be a nominal amount, and where a number of citizens get together the cost of the special protection will amount to prac- tically nothing
 T have talked to quite number of the merchants and residents of Birming ham, and find that the idea Is received with enthusiasm By the first of the month I shall have all plans worked out and will be ready to start the service

WEST END ALSO
 WARS ON DUST
Council Passes Ordinance Requiring Street Railway Company To
 Sprinkle Along Tracks.

Down with the dust!" has shouted the West End council, and accordingly that body has passed an ordinance requiring the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to sprinkle the road along its route through that municipality after July 1.
 The South Bessemer, Powderly and Cleveland cars use the same track through West End, the route lying along lines have suffered much from the dust for several years. A month or two ago the City Council of Elyton passed a reso- lution requiring the street car company to sprinkle the street which 1t trav- ersed through that town. During the past month the water wagon has operated successfully in that town, and as re- suit the mile ride through 1t is probably the most delightful of any of the subur- ban lines in the district.
 After this pleasant ride, however. the limits of West End would be reached, and the dust would begin to fly. The matter of sprinkling the streets has been ag- tated for some time in that town and the cool ride through Elyton brought matters to crisis, resulting in the pass age of the act requiring the street car company to follow suit in West End.

SUSTAINS FINE FOR
 SELLERS OF MEAD
JUDGE HoWZE SAYS HE DOES NOT HAVE TO GO TO GEORGIA FOR LAW ON THE SUBJECT-MARx LOSES OUT.

With a general charge for the defendant concluding with, T don't have to go to Georgia for law on the subject" Judge A. c. Howze instructed the jury in the case of Julius w Marx, Birmingham agent for Mead beer to bring In a yer dict of guilty. This is the outgrowth of a case in Judge Feagins court several weeks ago, in which Marx was convicted, an appeal being taken.
 The fine for this offense is not less than $50 nor more than $1oo. Mead beer. ac- cording to the testimony introduced, con- tains 1SS per cent of alcohol The pro- hibition law does not place any limit on the amount of alcohol which liquids shall contain to be barred, simply stating that mo vinous, spurious or malt liquors. which if drunk to excess shall cause in- toxication, shall be sold or given away" away"
 Mead beer gained great popularity dur ing the first few months after the pro- hibition law became effective. It is man. ufactured by the Pabst Brewing com pany, this concern having prepared it for several years for a light beer and Is said to have been intended especially for sick persons and those desiring a drink not quite so strong as ordinary beer.
