COAL OPERATORS
 COMPLETE PLANS
ORGANIZATION PERFECTED AT MEETING YESTERDAY BY ELEC- TON OF MCCORMACK PREsl- DENT AND SHELBY VICE PRES.

The coal operators of Alabama, who met 10 days ago at the Hotel Hillman, and formed a temporary organization, met again yesterday and perfected per- manent state association.
 Furnace, commercial and independent companies and firms participated in the meeting. and 1t Is stated that over 90 per cent of the total tonnage of Alabama was represented.
 G. B. Mccormack was elected president and John ". Sibley was elected vice president
 A constitution was adopted and the as- socation, it is said, will get under full headway at nee. Condensed from the constitution are these points, which ex- plain the scope of the association:
 It's object shall be to promote stable, just harmonious and business-like re- lations between the coal operators of Ala bama. their employees and the public; to aid in seeing that suspension of opera tions in violation of contract is visited with adequate penalties; to see that any member of this association suffering from strikes in violation of contract is sus- tained and supported to compile coal mining statistics, and, in general, to pro- mote in all lawful ways the interests of the coal operators of the state.

USE GARBAGE AS
 FUEL. IN FURNACE Unique Demonstration Witt messed By Officials Yesterday TEST WAS. SATISFACTORY Wagon Load of Worst Filth Is Treated Chemically and Cast Into Fur
 mace To Be Used as
 Fuel.

A party of some 50 citizens. physicians and officials of Birmingham and other cities attended the remarkable demonstra- tion of the Engle process of converting waste into fuel yesterday at the North Birmingham pumping station.
 wagon load of the worst refuse that could be found in North Birmingham, so nauseous that 1t was hard to approach within 50 feet of the wagon, was changed by simple process into an odorless fuel within 10 minutes.
 The system is a new one patented by Andrew Engle. It is simply the mixture of a few chemicals with lime and coal dust which releases all the gases and turns the remains into the best furnace fuel. Immediately after the process the wet fuel was put in the furnace at the pumping station and kept up a hot fire just as long as would a ton of coal.
 The argument in favor of the process is that it not only does away with the filth, but saves the waste of destruction, turning 1t into fuel which may be burned in any furnace.
 It is a new patent which is being intro duced by Engle and James Maine, both of Des Moines after years of experiment. ing with crematories. The company has just been awarded the Des Moines con- tract to destroy all sewerage at a price of $1OO,OO0.
 Among the out-of-town witnesses were Mayor V. B. Atkins of Selma pr. Skin- ner. an official of Selma; pr. J. L. wilxle, mayor-elect of Anniston; City Engineer Gillchrist of Montgomery. Mayor W. L. Rush of Bessemer and J. H. Berry of North Birmingham. They were all high ly pleased with the experiment
 MT. Atkins said: Selma is In need of some sanitary protection, and I was pleased with the exhibit. We will take the matter up and I hope can come to some agreement"
 Consulting City Engineer Julian Ken drick, Alderman Stockmar,N pr. E. H. Sholl, Dr. T. D. Parke and pr. J. H.. Hardness were among the Birmingham witnesses. MT. McCartin, while not ex- actly satisfied, will make thorough in- vestigation. Birmingham has been con sidering some way to destroy her filth for many yeara

PROHIBITION NOT
 GIVEN FAIR TRIAL Mayor Ward Says Antis Are
 Going Too Far WILL REAP THE REACTION Says If They Hope To Have Law Re- peaIed They Must Begin By Civ
 ing 1t a Fair Test In
 Birmingham.
WILL REAP THE REACTION

Mayor Ward does not think the prohibi- mingham. In an interview given out yes terday he says the law is being trified with by those at the head of municipal af- fairs, apparently having reference to the recent action in the case of Eddie Black, whose license was reinstated after 1t had been revoked.
 Ut seems to me that the anti-prohlbi- tionsts, especially those in authority, are making a mistake in trihing with the law" said Mayor Ward.
 That is, if they hope to get it repealed at the general election. When that time comes, the point will be raised that prohi- bition has never been tried-because it has never been enforced
 Hundreds of men will vote for it once more in order to give 1t fair trial. IT those men who are bound to make a liv- ing by selling liquor, who are bold and trained in lodging every law in the stat ute books, could be put under and showed aside for a year or two this great ques- ton would be settled on it's merits.
 If they continue their present course and receive the tacit assistance of those in power 1t simply means many more years of state and municipal strife.
 Tt is pity the antis can't look for ward as well as backward
 The mayor ordered closed another soft drink establishment yesterday, its clerk having been convicted of violating the prohibition law yesterday morning. The following letter is self-explanatroy:.
 August s. 1908. George H. Bodeker, Chief of Police:
 Dear Sir The Acme Soft Drink com pany, 2500 Second avenue, through US clerk, Robert Henley, was convicted or violating the prohibition law on Saturday, August 8, in the police court
 Under Ordinance No. Al of the city code, this conviction ipso facto revokes the license of said concern.
 Please see that it Is closed Respect fully, G. WARD, Mayor"

Completed Census Shows 99O9 Whites and 8212 Negroes
 In the Cib Limits
ESTIMATED POPULATION
 OF CITY PLACED AT 72,5OO
Heaviest Per Cent of Increase Shown In Fourth and Sixth Wards-Sec- ond Ward Leads All Others
 In School Children.

The enumerators of the 1908 Birming- ham school census have completed their work A A. Lyon, Jr., principal of the South Highlands school, and W. c. Griggs, principal of the Henley school, who have been canvassing the city for little more than a month for the census, made tabulated statement yesterday which shows that there are 18115 of school age, white and colored, within the city limits of Birmingham, including the Tenth and Eleventh wards, embracing Avondale and East Birmingham, the su- burbs recently annexed
 T believe the Board of Education will feel satisfied with the good showing made against unfavorable conditions" said MT. Lyon yesterday "A school census of Bir- mingham has not been taken since 1905. The per cent of gain shown by the census just taken was a good one, but had this census been taken 10 or 12 months ago, before the depression, the gain would no doubt have been much larger. Some towns in the state have even shown loss this year over the 1906 census. AS it is, however we feel that Birmingham has made a good showing.
 There are one or two points of especial interest. The heaviest per cent of in- crease came from the Fourth and Sixth wards. Two wards showed decreases. Three wards just about held their own with very slight increases. The other two of the old nine wards had good increases, in, ba Fourth and Sixth. The new wards, the Tenth and Eleventh, showed an increase over what they had at the last census"
 The total number of children of school age, white and colored, living in the old nine wards of the city at the time of the 1905 census was 13,S5S. The total given by this census in the old nine wards of the city is 14,772, giving a gain of 91A The increase shown by the last census in the territory now comprising the Tenth and Eleventh wards is about 800.
 The total net increase in Birmingham as bounded at present is about 1500. The gross increase is 3257.
 The table shows a total of 9903 white children and 8212 negro children of school age living in Birmingham.
 The Second ward is the biggest in the city considering the figures of the census, the total number of children of school age in this ward being 2l11. This is probably accounted for by the fact that there are 12S7 negro children against SPA white.
 The Fifth ward comes second, with 2OO6 children, and the Eleventh ward third with 1S10 children.
 Following is tabulation of the figures gathered by the enumerators:

EXHAUSTION Made Worse By Coffee Drinking.

There's a delusion about coffee which many persons, not necessarily chemists only, are fast finding out. That exhaustion from long hours of hard mental or physical work is increased by the reaction of coffee, rather than re- lieved, is well known fact. A prominent music professor found the true state of the coffee evil. and also the remedy. His wife tells his experience:
 For over thirty years my husband taught music six days a week and 12 to IA hours day. None too robust. such constant work made a drain on his strength so that he was often quite ex- hausted by Saturday night.
 He formed the habit of drinking strong coffee regularly with his meals. Occa- sonally when he did not have his coffee he would suffer from headache. nervous ness and weakness. This alarmed him and me also, for we feared he was be- coming a slave to coffee.
 About that time we heard of Postum and decided to try it. At first we did not like 1t, but soon learned it should be boiled 15 minutes after boiling commences, and then when served hot with cream and little sugar, 1t was drink fit for kings.
 My husband found he was gaining In weight while using Postum. He was rtA of constipation. his headache disappeared and his nerves became strong.
 Now at 61 he is still able to work at teaching, selling instruments or superin- tending the farm, and can out-work many younger men.
 "He has never gone back to coffee and says he never will. Recommending Pos tum to others is one of his hobbies. We are happy to say all our children drink Postum and are fond of it."

GAMb|LL ASKS FOR
 RECONSIDERATION Special Meeting of Council To-
 morrow At Noon PRIMARY IN THIRD WARD Mr. GambiIl In His Letter Thinks Party Harmony Will Be Sacrificed If He Continues Race for
 Alderman.

The Third ward difficulties seem to have reached a happy ending. Foilo"ihs A. A. Gambilps letter. asking the coun- ri, to reconsider its action at the last meeting the majority of the council has come to the conclusion that the acton of last Wednesday was ill-advised. A meeting will be held Monday at noon at which time the primary will be granted with hardly any opposition PresidehC Parker issued the formal call last night.
 This is practically the result of meet ing which was held in the office of one of the aldermen yesterday afternoon. It ia understood that the council will re- quest the city committee to take charge of the primary for the selection or the successor of Alderman Eggleston, and the date will be set for some day before the next meeting of the council.
 The people of the ward are desirous of getting the matter off their hands, and they will insist upon an early pri- mary. There will hardly be more than two entries, MT. Gambill and A. l.. Hoyt. While MT. Gambill would make no statement on the subject he did not deny that he would become candidate unoer a primary plan, and 1t is generally un- derstood that he expects to make the race
 The necessity for mass meeting to- morrow night will be entirely done away with in case the council takes the action which has been planned. There will hardly be a mass meeting unless some thing happens tomorrow at noon
 Should the board refuse to rescind its action MT Gambill declares that he would still be in the race for election at the next regular meeting. This con- dition, however, will probably not occur.
 Here is MT. Gambill's letter in which he requests that the council rescind its action:
 To the People of Birmingham:
 The question of who shall be alderman from the Third ward is of much less inn portance to me than the breaking up of the ties of friends, or tearing apart the democratic party. My entrance into the race for the position of alderman was brought about by solicitations from e>SS~~@S evident that goodly portion of the voters of the Third ward do not think the board should elect the successor to MT. Eggleston and having the welfare of my friends and my party at heart more than any desire for political advancement, I withdraw fro mthe race before the board, and earnestly join with the people of the Third ward in asking the board to refer the matter to the people and let them say who shall be the alderman. do this believing I would have been elected by an overwhelming majority, if the matter had been left to the board. hold that no mans personal ambition should stand in the way of party har- mony.
 I hereby request the council to meet at its earliest convenience and reconsider it's action of last meeting.

 NEW ATTRACTIONS FOR DOWN THE LINE" Manager Barnes Secures Fine Let for Big Fair BALLOON RACES EVERY DAY Programme For FireworksWilI Eclipse the Great Attractions In This
 Line at Last Years

With about half his contracts closed Manager George T. Barnes has already booked line of free attractions for this years fair, made up of real stars. to- gether with 20 of the best shows Down the Line ever gathered at Fairview.
 Frank P. Spelman, owner of the fa- nous troup of performing bears, and leader in his business, has been appointed superintendent of amusements. In secur- ing him for this work the associatin ac- complished a great step toward making the fair a startling success.
 The Five Flying Dordens, skilled tri- pie trapeze performers, will present their wonderful act before the grandstand both ] afternoon and night. Under the bright electric lights in the arena there is an especial charm about trapeze perform ances different entirely from that of the circus. The crowds went wild over a sim liar act last October
 Capt. Matthew Gay, with a worldwide reputation as a high diver, will accom- plish feats in high diving never witnessed before in Birmingham. He uses but q lew feet of water, and by pure science enters the water at such an angle as to save himself from destruction.
 The Hero of Niagara" James E. liar dy, is coming south for the first time The dinner which he cooked on a wire over Niagara is still the talk of that sec ton.
 Those who really enjoy a balloon race will be treated to a double excitement Two balloons will enter the races, both of them bearing double parachutes and making daring ascensions.
 Spellman's performing bears, which held the public attention at the New York Hippodrome for many days and can do anything but talk, together with great wild west performance will bring the scenes and excitement of the plains right under the eye of the grandstand.
 MT. Spellman declares that the shows down the line this year are going to bs exceptional in every detail. He is not standing for a mediocre performance. while ladies and children will be accorded special attention. ,f The programme for the fireworks display every night even eclipses the famous one last year. Wonderful fountains will pour !. forth light and color, turning the whole horizon into a continual changing pie ture of strange beauty.
 Manager Barnes will probably close a deal this week for the greatest individual act of daring known to the world If he succeeds in landing it, the whole south will turn it's face toward Birmingham.

CONVICTION IN
 TRANSFER CASES
JUDGE FEAGlN RULES THAT IT. QUOR CANNOT BE STORED FOR DELIVERY ON ORDERS FROM CITIES OUTSIDE THE STATE.

The Charlies Transfer company prohibi- tion case, which has attracted considera- ble attention lately, was thrashed out in the police court yesterday afternoon, re- sulting in the conviction of the persons concerned.
 It will be recalled that several days ago Police Officers Street and Little arrested George Jourdan and Oscar Winters, the drivers of one of the transfer company wagons, on charge of violating the pro- hibition law. A quantity of beer was taken from the wagon which the negroes were driving.
 It was alleged that the proprietor of the transfer company was keeping in store at his warehouse quantity of beer which he was distributing in Birmingham for a liuuor concern in Memphis. It is claimed that orders for beer would be sent to Memphis and the concern there, in turn, would wire the warehouse here to deliver the beer ordered. It Is said that the two negroes were delivering beer from the warehouse when arrested.
 A witness named Branle testified yes- ;erday that he had bought quantity of beer and had 1t stored in the warehouse of Charlie's Transfer company and would get it as he needed it. A Greek also tes- tified that he had had cask of beer stored there.
 Judge Feagin ruled that it is against the law to keep liquor in store in Birmingham for the purpose of distributing or selling 1t here, and fined both Jourdan and Win- ters s10O and 1SO. The cases were ap- pealed and the negroes released on ap- peal bonds signed by their attorneys. Judge S. D. Weakley was the prosecut- ing attorney, and Attorneys Oberdorfer and Hamil represented the defendants.
