BLIND TIGERS ARE
 AGAIN IN TROUBLE
BODEkER MAKES SOME MORE RAIDS AND HALLS BIG QUAN- THY OF GOODS DOWN TO HEAD QUARTERS.

The police department, under the direct instruction of Chief Bodeker, is mak- ing things warm for the blind tigers" who have chosen to make their lairs in Birmingham.
 The biggest tiger discovered in sev- era1 months was raided last night by Off, ficers Little and Reynolds. The place in question was run by man named Harris at 1872 First avenue When the officers entered the place they arrested the clerk, Harry Markham, white, and a negro por- ter However, while they were writing the bonds the negro slipped out and was not again caught.
 Some four or five cases of whisky and seven casks of beer were taken from the place by the officers.

BIRMINGHAM MAN
 SAVES COMPANY

St. Paul, August 12.-A certain fire in- surance company in Tennessee narrowly escaped having its name blazoned to the world as standing for encouragement of corrupt practices in fire insurance under writing and disregard of the rights of fire insurance agents during the third session Of the convention of the National Associa- ton of Fire Insurance agents. An open debate. "The Attitude of the National As scciation Toward Local Boards and Local Practices" was going on and a resou- ton had just been drawn up, aimed at the company in question, when John c. Me- lntyre of Minneapolis, demanded that the name of the company be divuiged to the agents. His demand was greeted with ap- plause and was seconded by other dele gates but after J. l.. Thompson of Min neapolis chairman of the executive con- mittee, had expressed belief that the com pany had a right to be heard first, and after Capt. R. '. Manly of Birmingham had added that in order to reform nnd correct it, 1t would be much better to withhold it's name, the matter was re- ferred to the committee on resolutions. The commmittee appointed yesterday afternoon to look into the matter of the advisabilty of the association becoming a member of the National Fire Protec- tive association reported favorably. and the report was unanimously adopted. This makes every member of the National Fire Agents association an honorary member of the Fire Protective associa- ton, and one member to be chosen later, an active member.

NO INTERFERENCE
 BY GREAT BRITAIN

London, August 12.-It Is definitely decided that Great Britain cannot in tervene in the dispute between the Ven evuela salt and match monopolies, two English corporations owned by fhe Ethelburga syndicate dimited). and the Venezuelan government.
 The concessions owned by the match and salt companies were annulled by the Venezuelan government early this year. At the time of the cancellation of the concessions, MT. Williams, the representative of the syndicate at Ca racas. protested, declaring the govcrh- ment's action to be both ruinous and illegal. The matter was brought to ne attention of the British foreign secre- tary, Edward Gray, but he advised that the British government could not Inter- fere until all means of securing redress through the Venezuelan courts had been exhausted.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 My attention has been called to a state- ment of the Hon. w. D. Nesbitt asso- eiate member of the railroad commission of Alabama, published on the Sth instant. in which he invites the attention of man. ufacturers in the Birmingham district to the increase in rates into Texas, that twill seriously affect the ability of cer- tain of our manufacturers to sell their products in the territory west of the Mis- sissippi river; and he also expresses a desire that shippers. whose business is adversely affected communicate with the commission.
 The advance in the rates of transporta- tion upon property shipped from the Bir- mingham district to Texas is the same as from other points with which the Bir- mingham district competes; the same as from St. Louis. The relative adjustment, therefore remains unchanged, and 1t fol- lows that the interests of the manufact urers who sell their products in the ter ritory west of the Mississippi river will not be unfavorably affected.

'Lost-Three cases of Private Stock blended whisky. One hundred and forty four quarts. Captured, but unclaimed" Thus Sheriff Higdon puts it.
 Colonel Higdon saw a negro driving through Woodlawn yesterday afternoon with three very suspicious looking cases loaded on his dray He stopped the ne- gro. who said his name was Jim Ward and interrogated him as to the contents or the cases and as to where he was talk ing them The negro said he did not know what the cases contained. but was hauling them to College station. East Lake, where he was to meet a man to whom the cases were consigned
 The sheriff told the negro to drive on. whereupon he got into a buggy himself and followed Ward. The negro evidently saw his pursuer and took one of the most roundabout routes known to Col lege station Finally be stopped in front Of vacant lot and when Colonel Higdon drove up the negro stated that that was the place where the man promised to meet him. But the man" never did come and the sheriff turned horse. dray. whisky and negro all over to Deputy Sheriff Jack Brown, who brought the whole outfit to town and locked the ne- gro up in the county jail. docketing a charge of ". P. L." against him. A white man signed Wards bond last night and he was released.
 The three cases of whisky contain AS quarts each of whisky The negro dis owns the whisky, so Colonel Higdon says 1t is lost
 The three cases were snugly etored with lot of other stuff" in a quiet cool cell in the county jail. Colonel Hig- don now has fine collection of bottles full-and a cell full of the full ones in the county jail. He alone holds the key.

OFFICERS MUST
 NOT SIT DOWN
Orders Issued State That It Will Mean Days Suspension For
 Policemen.

Chief Bodeker has written letter to the members of the police department to the effect that hereafter any officer caught sitting down while on duty will be discharged from duty for one day. He also states in the letter that 1t is Vio- lation of the rules of the police depart ment for an officer to stop to read a newspaper while on duty, and warns them against any such violation.
 It seems that several reports have beer made by the captain and leutenants of the police of officers sitting down and reading newspapers while on duty. A short time ago charges were preferred against one of the officers on this ac- count and the police commission laid the officer off for a day after his trial Tues day night.
 Chief Bodeker has instructed his men that this rule will be followed in all sim- liar cases hereafter.

WOMEN SHOT AT
 MARGARET MINES
Non-Union Mans House Fired
 Into
MANY WILD RUM0RS HEARD
Talk of Changing Military Headquar- ters To Field Camp-CoIonel Du- Mont Is Expected To
 Arrive Today.

Trouble in the strike district cropped out again early yesterday morning when the house of a non-union miner at Mar garet St. Clair county was shot into and two of the women occupants of the house wounded One of the women is said to be badly injured.
 The telephone wires from Margaret were cut and the guards at that place sent d ] messenger to Odenville, seven miles away, to send a message of the affair to Blr- mingham This message was brief and asked that bloodhounds be sent down, which was immediately done. Nothing has been heard from there since the dogs left Birmingham. The mines at Margaret are operated by the Alabama Fuel and Steel company.
 Outside of this affair matters were quiet, though rumors were still going the rounds Some of the false reports came so straight and from what were consider ed such reliable sources that the officers
 began an instant investigation, only to find the reports groundless.
 1 Lewisburg figured prominently in the false rumor business. Lieutenant Golohel
 Hubbard visited several of tfe camps yesterday ,and while at Lewisburg late
 in the day was informed that two men
 had been killed a short distance from 1 that town. The report reached the town l in such a way that everybody believed Il 1 and an investigation was immediately be-
 gun by the lieutenant colonel, only to find it to be absolutely groundless
 l A number of imported men were nam ] dled yesterday the strikers succeeding in 1 winning over several of them. number l of small groups were sent out to the va-
 rious mines without guards, these men as
 a rule reaching the mines without having
 been approached by the strikers.
 report from Mobile last night stated 1 that Col Robert E. Du Mont of the First
 regiment was leaving there for Birming-
 ham, and in this event he Is expected 10 l arrive in Birmingham this morning Col
 onel Du Mont went to Mobile sick
 leave He was at the Chickamauga en-
 campment prior to the First regiment be- l ing brought here.
 Talk of changing the military headquar-
 ters from the Metropolitan hotel to reg
 ular field camp is going the rounds. Some of the officers state that in this way the
 expense would be decreased, while others
 think that better results can be obtained
 by keeping the headquarters in the hearl
 of Birmingham, where they can keep ir | close touch with the situation.
 John P. White, vice president of the United Mine workers, who arrived in Bir-
 mingham Monday, has taken charge of
 the strike situation here. He does not re-
 place anybody, as his office is higher than
 that of any other man In the district, and
 he is therefore naturally in control. He
 denied yesterday that there was any frle- l ton in the organization here, saying
 'There is absolute harmony in this house. hold"
 Since Mr. White arrived. the headquar-
 ters of the union. at 1171a North Twenty i first street, has been an exceptionally busy
 place. Yesterday was one of the busiest
 since the strike began.
