INTERESTED
 IN NEW INDIANA LAWS

Richmond, Ind, Jan. 4.--(Special.)--- Sociologists. charity workers and leg islators in Alabama have written tho Indiana State Board of Health for in- formation regarding the movement started in Indiana for the elimination of criminals through sterilization in prison.
 This law was enacted during the last Legislature and it's provisions have been taken advantage of by the prison officials and 1t Is believed the results will be beneficial, not only as affect- ing the individuaI-prisoners who may be the victims. but in a salutary way. serving to restrain those who might be inclined to commit crimes for which sterilization would be the punishment.
 Many other States besides Alabama, have also shown interest in the moves ment. which promises to be nation wide.
 Alabama is also making inquiries regarding the Indiana marriage laws, which makes illegal the marriage of first cousins. paupers, criminals. idiots and insane. Practically all of the in- quiries are made with a view to in- troduclng similar legislation in other States.

FOR GREATER CITY
BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT WILL VOTE
 MONDAY.
Campaign Closes and Mayor Ward is- sues Proclamation for Holiday.
 May Take in the Suburban

Birmingham. Jan. 4.--tSpecial. )-The campaign for Greater Birmingha am came to a close tonight Much work was done by those advocating larger city and the expectations are that there will be good majority for the cause.
 The Legislature provided for iars- CT city, if the majority of the people in the communities affected say so.
 There Is considerable opposition ex- pressed to the larger city. not only in the city proper, but also In suburban towns to be taken in. The greater city plan include Birmingham, Elyton, West End. Gravmont. Pratt City, North Birmingham. East Lake. Woodlawn, Avondale and East Birmingham. There appears to be some opposition on the part of the larger corporations which have interests in the territory de- scribed.
 Housing meetings have been held and during the last few days much boost ing has been done. While the vote Monday, the day of election. Will hard- ly be as large as 1t was in the pro- hibition election. 1t is believed that many citizens will turn out for the event.
 With but one or two sections all the Mayors in the different towns in the Birming gham district are for the greater city. E
 Bessemer. which is not tncluoed in the territory is watching the outcome of the election .nasmuch as It IS claimed that the result will have some bearing on the plans under considera- tion there. looking to separate coun- ty, to be known either as Pettns County or Bessemer County.
 If the proposition carries Monday, Birmingham. on October l, 1909, will cover fortyone and one-half square miles. and will embrace all of the im- portant suburban towns except Besse- Der and Ensley. The population or the greater city is estimated at 12A,0OO.
 Mayor Ward today issued a procia- nation declaring Monday holiday.

FIGHT OVER CHHDPEN
 ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION
Mothers of Children Protest Against
 ProceedlnEa.

-
 That the action of Captain Odom of the Salvation Army in attempting to secure several white children who are being reared in negro houses and in houses of i'll repute is having its ef- feet as was evidenced yesterday. Ma bel Hudson and Ruby Brown. the mothers of three of the children. who are fin the custody of Susan Phillips. called on Captain Odom yesterday and asked him to take the cases out of court.
 In an interview over the telephone to The Advertiser the women stated | that they were being raised better than ] the average white child in Montgom- l cry and they were paying S5 a week for each child's board. Promises were made of sending the children away and putting them in schools out of the city as soon as they were old enough. Captain Odom was severely scored personally by the mothers of these chill dren when he first attempted to get possession of them and at that time they did not care to come to any reas- enable understanding with him. The matter has gone so far now that only a decree of the court Monday morn ing will change the situation in any respect.
 Not only is this case being watched with intense interest in Montgomery.
 
 watching the outcome. The same question has been a source of trouble to these children. but never has any concerted effort been made to take these children from their unfavorabIe environment. Should Captain Odom he successful in his suits Monday 1t Is entirely probable that the same step will be taken in other cities.
 In talking to The Advertiser yester- day Ruby Brown and Mabel Hudson stated that Susan Phillips was a re- spectacle negro woman and that she kept her house clean. They stated that they were paying s5 a week for the care of the children and that they had investigated the place and found that it was clean and respectable. They also invited anyone to investigate the conditions under which their children were being raised. They stated that the children would be sent to school as soon as they were old enough and while about their present home they were not allowed to associate with any negroes.

 This case grows out of continual trouble that merchants of this class in Montgomery have among themselves. The police have been sent on hurried calls several times to quiet what was supposed to be serious trouble, and on arriving would find that two of those alleged merchants were squabbling over customer for some trivial arti- cle. One of the belligerents usually call the officers.
 It is expected that when this case is heard that the Chancery Court will re- sembie closely a police court. as many of the petty troubles of people are set- tied there. The clerks at the Regis ter's ofice stated yesterday that 1t was one of the most peculiar cases that they had ever run across.
