Wo Onbict Weney Can
 Be Used For We Roads
From Jersons Convcts Goes for Fees and for Fine and Forfeiture Fund-Overton Amendments
 Seeks to Correct the Evil.

night Jere c. King said:
 The matter was brought up at the last session of the legislature, and it was found that the constitution as now drafted does not even allow the legis- lature to give counties permission to use the convict money for the develop ment of roads. This condition prompt ed Senator Overton to introduce his amendment to the constitution, which will be voted on, together with two other constitutional amendments, in November. If the matter of appropriat- ing the convict money, or any part of it, for the purpose of working the roads is voted on favorably in November, the succeeding legislature may then enact laws that counties may use the fund for road purposes, and then only.
 Tn quite a number of Alabama counties the fine and forfeiture fund has been abolished, but in the counties where the figures run away up and where the fee system has become so vicious, the officials have succeeded in retaining this system. However, the matter will be presented to the people in November, and they may decide then"

OPINIONS IN AvOhDALE
 DIFFER ON ANNEXATION

When questioned yesterday concern ing the forthcoming election which shall determine whether or not Avon- dale will become part of Birmingham immediately, Mayor E. B. Daniel Of Avondale expressed himself as being in favor of Avondale remaining a suburb of Birmingham until the gen. eral Greater Birmin gham law went into effect. Speaking on this subject, he said: Personally, I am opposed to the idea of Avondale becoming part of Birmingham immediately, and I have some reasons for my opinion. In the first place Birmingham does not prom ise us anything that we are unable to provide for ourselves. We have decided to float improvement bonds in the near future and we expect to complete our sanitary sewerage system by next fall. This in itself shows that we are amply able to take care of ourselves.
 Furthermore, the Board of Aldermen of Birmingham reserves the right to se- lect our representation without allowing us a voice in the matter Of course, l am unable to speak definitely of the outcome of the election to be held June 4, but from what l have heard l believe the mo- tion to become part of Birmingham be- fore January l will be defeated at the polls l certainly hope that it will at any rate'
 On the other hand, D. R. Dunlap, one of the county registrars, who is sit uated in Avondale for the purpose of is suing special registration certificates for the forthcoming election said:
 While I am not resident of Avon dale I have been here long enough 10 hear several men express their opinions. From what I have heard I feel safe in saying that Avondale will vote to become part of Birmingham immediately. How ever, this is only surmise, and l be- lieye the election will be very close

TRYING ID BRING POLICE
 CHIEFS ID BIRMINGHAM

Birmingham will go after the next an- nual convention of the International As- socation of Chiefs of Police of the United States and Canada. Chief of Police George H. Bodeker will leave Birminy- ham this morning for Detroit, Mich., where the conventions of 1908 will convene on June and continue for three days.
 Chief, BodeSer goes to Detroit armed with letters of invitation inviting the Association of Chiefs of Police to hold the convention of 1909 in Birmingham. One of the letters is signed by Mayor George B. Ward, another by Joseph B. Rabb, secretary of the Commercial club, and third is signed by Hal J. Cope ,and, chairman of the police commas sion. The letters set forth the argument that the chiefs of police may desire to study prohibition from a short range which they can do in Birmingham Mayor Wards letter mentions the fact that the police of the entire country may have prohibition to deal with within the next two years and such being the case their trip to Birmingham will be advantageous. Chief Bodeker stated yesterday that be would go to Detroit with an assured backing of the vote of 9 chiefs of the southland
 During Chief Bodekers absence of some five or six days duration, Lieutenant Martin Eagan will be the acting chief.

 dous backset in it's wealth on account of It's losses during the war and the period Immediately following it, but notwith- standing this it is fair to say that there ,s a direct relation between the amount of miles of railroad in d territory and the wealth of a territory Railroads can rot be sustained without business and where you have d showing of a relative greater railroad mileage and also a reia- tive greater wealth it is fair to say that the two are interdependent. Now if the improvement of the present system oe railroads and the building of new rail roads, as all l am sure will admit is going to have a direct bearing upon tn ? development of this country, are not .aa people essentially interested in treating this problem from the standpoint of what m a large view is going to rebound to their own prosperity? l am not making any appeal for present railroad bond holders stockholders I am merely suggesting some lines of thought from an intensely selfish point of view for the people of Alabama and the south generally

In connection with the good roads movement, and by way of the agitation of the convict system of working the roads the method of the disposition of the county convict fund is being aired It is learned from the higher county officials that not one cent of the fine and forfeiture fund of $12000 to S14,- coo a quarter, of which the convict fund comprises a great part, goes for the benefit of working the roads, al tho lgh tne county is entitled to 30 con- victs with which to do the work.
 It was learned from the office of the county treasurer yesterday that the convict fund is paid into the Board of Revenue, when in turn pays it over to the treasurer. After the fees of the clerk of the criminal court of 5 per cent are paid, and the sheriff is paid bis fees, the balance is turned into the fine and forfeiture fund to be used in paying the claims of witnesses for their attendance of court By this method it is to be seen that the roads must go begging.
 However, plans are on foot to rem edy this In discussing the matter last

er year passes into the ranks of the
"has beens," and we are all a
twelve month nearer the great be-
yond.
Each individual must judge for
himself whether the past year has
been well spent. Have we prosper
ed in business, and if SO. has every
dollar of the wealth accumulated
been honestly and fairly earned?
Have we kept the good resolutions
made year ago today? Have we
been of any use to our fellowmen,
and is the world any better for our
having lived?
To some the contemplation of the
dying yea, will be accompanied
with pleasure and satisfaction.
To others, we'll, that depends.

LEG BROKEN SECOND TIME.

On Tuesday afternoon DR.. J.
w. Bruner made a professional call
above Light Street, using his auto
mobile, and being accompanied by
his youngest son, Robert, and
Frank, son of Fred Ikeler Esq. A
few weeks ago Robert had his leg
broken by falling from the second
story of a barn.
AT Light Street the automobile
skidded in deep gutter of ice,
causing the machine to run into a
telephone pole. Robert, who was in
the back seat, was thrown out, and
his leg broken again, in the same
place as before. The machine was
hauled into the road, and the boy
brought home. 1t was damaged
but little. The accident was one of
those unavoidable and unforeseen
occurrences that is likely to hap
pen to any machine. The icy con-
dition of the road caused it to skid
toward the bank.

BURGLARS GET $50

Burglars entered the house Of J.
w. Shuman on Catherine street on
Tuesday morning, and stole about
twenty dollars i'll money. aud some
clothing, Entrance was effected
through rear window. A purse
containing SIS was taken, which
belonged to Miss Myrtle Longen-
genberger of Mainville, who WAS a
guest in the house. Two other
purses containing few dollars each
were found empty in the sink, Ar
ticles cf clothing were found scat
tered around the rooms, and an
overcoat and muff on the back
porch.
Mr.. Shuman discovered the
kitchen door and windows open at
3:4o O'Clock in the morning when
he arose to fix the fire. The family
had not retired until about two
O'Clock, so the burglary must have
been committed soon after that
hour.
