LABOR DAY
 WAS RESTFUL Yet City Had Great Many
 Visitors ALL TRAINS WERE LOADED Labor Quit Work and Rested
 Yesterday. Because of Special Railroad Rates Granted Rural Carriers . Grent Many Visitors Came to Mont
 gomery And spent The

Some 500 or 5000 persons from sur rounding towns came to Montgomery Monday to spend Labor Day. The rail- roads allowed special rates because of the meeting of the Alabama Rural Car riers' Association. but the simple truth is that most Of the visitors camo to see the two ball games.
 There were two features of special note. The first and foremost in the matter of public interest was the iouble-header at the ball park. The second was the meeting of the rural carriers at which an address was de- livered by United States Senator Jonn H Bankhead. So large crowd of visitors was not expected inasmuch as no attempt had been made to adver- tise the day or attract large crowd. But each train during the morning came in loaded to the platforms. The attendance of the rural carriers on their convention was sufficiently large but the great crowd was Of visitors who came to speid day in the city and to see the ball games.
 In the city itself. the day was widely observed. notwithstanding the deter nainatiou of labor men to make the day as quiet and restfui as possible. In the afternoon business was practically sus- pended throughout the city. The banks. the public buildings. the of- fees and most of the stores were closed. But little attention was paid to business in the morning hours still a number of the visitors came to Montgomery to shop and they insisted | on shopping. The stores that had open doors did good business. But short. | ly after 1 o'clock the hegira to the bal park began and most of the people or l the streets took cars and hurried tc | the games.
 In the morning the negro brick layer union of the city paraded in neat
 white uniforms. They made a yer, creditable showing. The parade wat given of their own accord and without reference to the labor leaders whS were committed to the policy of [ quiet and restful day.
 The negroes incidentally made ; great deal of the day. There was { picnic and dancing with a band a washington Park during the afternoon and evening.
 The parks of the city had q grea many visitors during the day. Visitor coming to the city visited Picket Springs and Electric Park while the,
 were waiting for the time for the bal
 game to begin. The moving pictnr I men, recognizing the fact that lars crowd was in town, had special per
 formances in the morning and man aged to do an excellent business. A | q matter of fact the streets of the cit.
 were crowded almost as much a

Besides saving Little Rock from a stinging defeat In the second game yesterday afternoon. the storm that put an end to the excitement also cut of the electric power of half the city . One of the main wires running from the power house at Tallassee was ren- dered hors de combat and until S:lS o'clock much inconvenience was sui fered. The company finding the wire could not go into commission again immediately. started up the steam plant and with the emergency machin- cry running after a while got the lights and power on again.
 But the effect was disastrous on those who were on cars going home to supper. Mad as hornets about the way the first game went, the devoted fans started home expecting at least the final of the Labor Day excitement would be a good dinner. but they reached home. some of them on cars and some of them walked.
 Electric fans in barber shops that had been doing a rushing business all afternoon, died down with a ghastly whizzIe and ceased to revolve. thereat perspiration assisted the father on the faces of the patrons of the tonsorial emporiums and the barbers cursed

 Annisto, Sept 7.--(SpeeiaL)--f re- concentrations of Judge Thomas w. Coleman. of the Anniston city court are carried into execution, the new Alabama game law. will be more strictly enforced than evor in Calhoun County, few blind tigers are likely to get their eyos open to the fact that prohibition laws are operative and the barrels of a few pocket guns will have to be elongated or else about half or the male population of the. county will be under arrest before the end of the month.
 The court convened Monday after noon. and the new game law. the pro. hihition law and the pistol law formed special features in Judge Coleman's charge. He urged rigid investigation all over the county without considera- ton of time or expense and advised the jurymen to bring indictments on mergre evidence in serious cases. He said the game law has come to stay and urged that 1t be rigidly en- forced.
 Referring to the prohibition law. he said that when properly enforced 1t is the greatest cheek to crime that can | be placed on the statute books of any state and declared the existence of blind tigers in a community breeds . ! spirit as extreme in bad effects as the prohibition law Is in good effects.

the property owned by the city should be entered and it's value ascertained by appraitement and the property ac- count, properly classified, should be debited with the several valuations while liabilities should be credited.
 As some changes in accounting are made necessary by the new Municipal Code, the suggestion is offered that new set Of books be opened when such changes are adopted.
 On the books of Treasurer Robert
 Tait, the statement is made by the
 Examiner. The Treasurer keeps &C., counts in the several banks of the city,
 yet not a statement rendered by the
 banks was verified by MT. Tait since
 he became Treaurer on Jan l last.
 Reference to the statement of the city's
 fiscal agent, the Trust Company of
 America, shows that nearly $134.00o
 of interest coupons were paid by them
 and forwarded to the Treasurer, yet
 I found these coupons in the original
 packages. consequently they were not verified until my arrival.
 On the question of tax collections. the following suggestions are made: That the receipts and stubs should be written up and handed to the Treas urer before the taxes become due. in order that three times as many tax payers can be waited on as before. That in view of the Clerk being re- quired to keep a separate account with each collecting office of the city ! the departments will make reports al stated times to the Clerk, who will charge such collecting officer with the report for which he is responsi- | ble. crediting the revenue to It's classi- | fed account and the Treasurer will | credit all remittances from such col lecting officers and direct instead oi creditfng the sources of income as al | present.
 Then the recommendation is added that in view of all these requirements
 under the Municipal Code, the offict | of City Auditor be created, to take
 care of the additional work entaiiee l thereby.
 There was no criticism of remit, | tances made by any of the officers con cerned and all moneys were properl, | handled.

 Of many vaudeville shows which have beeen presented at the Majestic since the establishment of that little playhouse few have produced Q more favorable impression than the bill of- ferred last evening There exists variety-music and acting, comic and serious A slight degree of those is introduced and a large element of fun It remains for the audisace only to enjoy the performance and the large assemblage present at the Majestic on the opening night of the week needed not to feel charitable in order to voueh- safe applause for the different num- bers of the program. There were many laughs and great handclapping and the one was as spontaneous as the other.
 Most pretentious of the numbers presented was the comedy y-dramatic sketch entitled. The Wildhower". Miss Theresa as the Indian maid. Wild flower. enacts admirably the part of the charming savage of the feminine gender The sketch is exceptionally clever. and the male support. Messrs. entirely adequate
 "Dr. Fresh" a comedy sketch by Harry Holman and Helen Parmlee Parmmelee Is provoking-of mirth. Mir. Holman has a manner which Is dry enough to crack open the laughs of his audience. Miss Parmelle in addition to the same gift possesses a soprano voice of strength and sweetness. She sang several solos which were pro- ductive of prohibitive applause-mean ing that 1t prohibited her disappear ance from the stage without respon- siVe encore.
 Mademoiselle Carrie jingled her audience into a joyful frame of mind with her skillfuI manipulation of musi- cal bells. and Eddie Leslie as singer and declaimer. made an equally fav- orable impression.
 Exceedingly entertaining was the novel act of Miss Alto Yolo. in which costumes were changed before the audience with entire modesty, start ling rapidlty and pleasing effect.
