TAXES
 60 TO CHANCELLOR

On January l. the city treasurer an- pounced yesterday, all delinquent personal and real estate taxes will be turned over to the register in chancery for collec- tlon
 This is the law as contained in the new municipal code. Heretofore, the law has been that all delinquent taxes would draw iiterest at per cent, and be increased by a fee of soc.
 Inasmuch as the attention of the people was called yesterday to the fact that there would be several of the county of- ficials drawing fees on all delinquent taxes turned into the chancery court, there has begun rush on the part of the payers.
 City Treasurer Eustis stated yesterday that the indications pointed to a large amount of delinquent taxes January 1.
 He stated too, that the indications were that there would be many delinquent taxes for street improvements. Unlike the taxes on real estate the street im- provement fees do not go into the chan c.ry court Mir Eustis stated yesterday that in the matter of taxes on street improvement, the Third ward was behind more than any other ward of the city.

SIXTH WARD JUM MPS
 INTO LIMELIGHT
MABEN ROBSON IS PROMINENTLY MENTIONED AS PROBABLE SUc- CESSOR TO ALDERMAN FoRNEY. WILLIAMS HAS FOUR YEARS.

Into the limelight comes the Sixth ward to take the place so long occupied by the Third. The Sixth is greatly exercised concerning tho man to be elected to the Board of Aldermen to succeed John c. Forney, resigned.
 The people of the Sixth wish to have a "say so" as to the man who shall rep resent them.
 It is generally understood that the members of the council, prior to the next meeting of that body, will be requested to elect a certain individual of that ward, and in case enough promises are not se- cured, it is understood that the council will be petltioned to let the Sixth ward eject it's own alderman.
 So far but two men have been men toned as prospective aldermanic candi- dates There are Maben Hobson, who was defeated in the last primary by AL oerman-elect Williams, and M. M. Stew art, who led the fight for A. A. Gam bill against Asa l.. Hoyt in the city dem- ocratic executive committee. It has also been intimated that Alderman-ele Will Hams might be asked to to accept the seat made vacant by MT. Forney. Inas- much, however, as MT. Williams was elected for a term of four years, and had but two more years to serve, it is not considered likely that he will accept the Forney seat.

FREDDY MURDER IS
 FULL OF MYSTERY
Young Mans Body Covered
 With Knife StabS
FIVE ARRESTS ARE MADE
1t Was Learned Last Night That He Had Fight With Some Negroes, But Information Is Being
 Carefully Guarded.

In the demise of Reuben Freddy, a young man about p years of age, who died yesterday morning as the result of knife wounds inflicted by unknown per- sons Monday night, the police and coun- ty authorities have to solve one of the most mysterious murders with which they have had to do in a. long time However, both deputies and city detec- lives are hard at work on the case and have clews which they consider very important.
 At a late hour last night Detectives Williams, Perkerson and Disheroon ef- fected the arrest of Louis Chase and Clark Mccormack, two white boys about 19 or 20, years of age, and Charles Wall 1, thall, John Henry Brown and Jake Mad den, three negroes Charges of murder were placed against the negroes, while the white boys are being held on sus- picion.
 The case is being handled very carefully and the authorities are reticent in talk ing about it. Consequently a dozen ac- counts of the murder are abroad.
 From the best information that could be gained last night, however. 1t seems that Freddy got into a cab at the cor ner of Second avenue and Nineteenth street about Il o'clock Monday night and instructed the negro driver to take him to his home, which Is at S1s North Eigh- teenth street. The cabman denies that he had any knowledge of the fact that Freddy was cut when he got into the hack.
 When Freddy reached home he was undressed and 1t was found that his wounds had been bandaged up, evident ly by skilled physician. Whatever physician dressed the wounds, however, did not report the matter to the author ities yesterday.
 It was learned last night from an un- official source that. Freddy had a fight with two negroes Monday night and 1t Is supposed that it was these negroes who inflicted the fatal knife wounds The body shows nearly a score of wounds. Deep gashes were cut about the chest and one side and on the right arm, but the fatal wounds are believed to have been two stabs, one in the right side and the other In the back
 Yesterday morning Dr. Sholl was called by the family of the wounded boy, but the wounds were of such a nature that no aid could be given the young man. Sheriff Tgdon was notified by Dr. SholI and he rushed to the Freddy home but the boy died before the sheriff arrived Freddy is said to have made a state- ment to Dr. Sholl before dying but the facts contained in his statement have not been divulged.
 The fearful work of Preddy's assail- ants, whoever they were, Is shown by the condition of his coat when he reached home The garment was literally cut into shreds.
 Arrangements for the funeral of Freddy have not been made.

CIT2 DEPENDING. RIGHT
 70 DESTROY ALLLIOUORS|

Has the city the right to eonfscate whisky and beer?
 This question is being worked out be- fore Judge H. B. Abernathy of the in ferior court.
 The city is defending it's action in having poured a large quantity of liquors into the gutters some time ago under that section of the code which authorizes the destruction of such con fiscated property.
 The prosecution, however, is contend ing that the city had no right to pass such an ordinance. City Attorney Thach contends that the city is author ized to pass such an ordinance on ac- count of the fact that the city is au- thorized to destroy things that are a nuisance, a menace to peace and menace to health.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-09

Judge Abernathy has requested briefs on the subject His decision Is awaited with interest.
 In discussing the matter yesterday Mayor Ward stated that the city has no other alternative under the prohi- bition law than to destroy all whiskles and beers captured in blind tiger raids. He stated that unless the beverages were poured into the gutters the city would soon have no place to keep the captured goods" He pointed out that the City Council could not sell or give away the liquor
 The city is being sued for damages by several individuals whose liquors and beers were confiscated. M NJ Ull- man is appearing for the prosecution, while the city is being represented by it's attorney, R. H. Thach.

EARNINGS FOR QUARTER

The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron con- pany is about to start the work of re- habilitating it's No. furnace at North some time. The furnace will not only be refined but new stoves will be built and when the stack is ready for relighting this pig maker will be as good as new. The estimated cost of the work is $751; coo but President Maben said yesterday that by the time the job was finished it would cost something like S250000. The re- building will require about four months
 The Sloss Sheffields Philadelphia fur nance at Sheffield which was thoroughly overhauled and put in first-class condition months ago has not been lighted be- cause a full supply of brown ore at Rus sellvlle could not be washed, owing to the drouth. The recent heavy rains, how ever, have improved conditions at Rus sellvile on the Philadelphia will be blown in immediately after the holidays.
 With five furnaces in operation the sloss-Sheffield made high record output in November. The following statement of earnings of the company for the quar- ter ending November 30, 1908 (November estimated) was issued yesterday: Profits from operations ....... .$493 5.16
