MAKES COMPLAINT
OF FAST SKATERS
RESIDENT SAYS CHILL
DREN'S LIVES ARE ENDAN-
GERED BY RECKLESS CoAsTiNG.
BoDEkER ORDERS 1T STOPPED.

Vigorous complaint was made to Chief
Bodeker yesterday by a citizen residing
on the South Highlands of children skat-
ing and coasting in toy wagons on the
sidewalks, especially on Highland and
Eleventh avenues.
1t has been a pastime for several years
for children to skate on the sidewalks all
over the city, and there have always been
a few with wagons who coasted down the
hills. However, little complaint has been
made and the only requirement the po-
lice have made is that the children lay
by their wagons and skates on Sunday.
letter received by Chief Bodeker yes
terday, however, insists that if it be with
in the authority of the police department
that the matter be stopped on the street
on which the writer resides. 1t Is stated
that the lives of small children are en-
dangered by way of the fact that the
skaters and coasters are very speedy.
When it comes to a matter of law it is
a violation for any one to obstruct the
sidewalks of the city. Accordingly Chief
Bodeker has instructed his scouts to at
tend to the matter and remedy the COM
plant if possible.

Turnkey Ed Newman and Inside Man
Dave Bridges had their breath taken
away from them for a few moments at
the county Jail yesterday morning by a
"buttermilk" blind tiger trying to break
into that bastile This sightless feline was
the most innocent looking one that has
ever secured the wilds of Jefferson coun-
ty. and the officers of the law had to rub
their eyes several times before they were
convinced that they were awake and not
dreaming.
During the morning hours negro wom-
an appeared at the jail with bucket OF
buttermilk for one of the white prisoners
She gave the bucket to Turnkey Newman
and then fitted away, while the recipient
of the bucket unlocked the heavy iron
door and handed the bucket to Mr.
Bridges, having previously glanced at the
inside, but ~ small specks of butter
floating about on the white surface spoke
nothing but innocence.
But it was thought that it would not
hurt to be too careful, and it was decided
to strain the milk befors turning 1t over
to the prisoner for whom it was intended
This was done and the Jailers jumped in

bucket a tightly corked half pint flask
of whisky. The bottle had been corked

and the buttermllk poured over it.

ers were almost paralyzed with the au-
dacty of the act.

CAPT. WHITE URGES
MOUNTAIN TUNNEL

The proposition to build tunnel
through Red mountain has found a new
champion in the person of Capt. Frank
S. White. Capt. White has just APP
peared before the Board of Revenue
and is urging that the tunnel be built,
even If the board has to mandamus
the county treasurer to make him fur
nish the money.
According to Capt. White the new
road built from the top of Shades
mountain into the Oxmoor and Shades
Irondale road is bottled up and of no
service to the public until a thorough
fare is opened up over or through Red
mountain.
Capt. White congratulates the pres
emit board upon it's great work in tn e
past. but is insistent upon the building
of the tunnel even though the first
cost estimate is enormous.
While the Board of Revenue seems to
rejoice in finding such an ardent sup
porter of their pet scheme, on account
of the fact that 60 per cent of this
tunnel would lie inside Birming h am
and the county treasurer says he will
refuse to pay for any road work done
within the city, and the city's finances
prohibit them from paying their part,
they have decided to let the tunnel mat
ter wait and go ahead with the con-
struction of the st. Charles street road
to connect with the county's work.
