the city health officer "He shall perform all of the duties required of him by law and shall have all of the powers and authority granted to him by the city or dinances or state laws" Section 161 of :. 'ct (municipal code) also provides that ,uch city health officer shall be responsible for the proper execution of all laws ordinances and regulations of the said city, pertaining to the health and sanitation of the same.'
 In this connection I quote the following from my opinion rendered on April 20, 1908, construing the amendatory health act:
 'It would appear from a careful exam nation of the provisions of this act, so far as 1t relates to the duties of the coun- ty board of health and the city health officer, in respect to the health laws and sanitary conditions of municipality, that 1t was the Intent and purpose, as well as the spirit of this statute to empower the city health officer under the direction and control of the committee of public health with the general control over the enforce ment of the public health laws and gen (, al supervision over the sanitary condl- tions of the city. It would seem equally apparent that this general supervisory power must be exercised through the edium of and in accordance with the health ordinances of such municipality unless such ordinances conflict with the general laws of the state, and in that event the general law must govern
 It is essential to bear in mind here that the amendatory health act of August 15. 1907. being a later enactment, governs wherever there may be conflict between the provisions of thIs act and the act of August 13 1907, known as the municipal code.
 The sections of the municipal code men, toned above render obvious the purpose of it's framers. The intention Is manifest to confer upon the health officer of a municipality general supervision over the health laws and sanitary conditions of a city and to hold such officer responsible for the faithful and proper execution of the same And in this respect the two statutes named do not conflict. but evil dently seek to establish the same general policy with respect to the administration end enforcement of municipal health laws.
 In my former ruling I maintained that although the general supervision of the sanitary laws was lodged with the city health officer of Birmingham under the direction and control of the committee of public health, this supervisory power over the city bacteriologlst and other assistant health officers of the city should be ad- ministered in accordance with the health laws of the state and the health ordi- rances of the municipality. This was de-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-06-21

olared to be the law on the assumption that the health laws of the state and the health ordinances of the municipality were cooperative in their nature and purpose and not antagonistic and together consti- tuted a consistent and harmonious sys- tenn.
 It Is my opinion that the ordinance re- ferred to above is valid in so far as it re- quires the city bacteriologist to report d. rectly to the Mayor and clothes the Mayor with authority to require such officer to make such investigations as he may deem necessary in the interest of public health. But in so far as 1t would take from tho city health officer and the board of health general supervision and control over the meteorological department of the city of Birmingham it is in conflict with both the municipal code and the amenda tory health act, and to that extent IS void; and such health officer and board of health are vested with the authority, and the duty is likewise imposed, under and by virtue of the said general laws, to ex- ercise the supervision and control com mitted to them by the terms of the said laws Such supervision and control should, therefore, be invoked and exer- cised by these officers, notwithstanding the provisions of this ordinance. I re- man, yours very truly,

.BACTER|OLOC|ST IS UNDER HEALTH BOARD Attorney General Rules on Bir-
 mingham Question SUBMITS FULL OPINION .n
 Mayor May Require Investigations Along Certain Lines, But Cannot
 Take Control From the
 Board of Health.

Montgomery, June 2O.-(Special )-At- torney General A. M. Garber has ruled that the mayor of Birmingham may con trol the city bacterologist and require of him such investigation as he may deem necessary in the interest of public health. but not to the extent of taking from the board of health general supervision and control of the department. The opinion grows out of apparent conflict between the laws of Birmingham and the state, and as it is of general interest to that city the entire opinion Is given below:
 June 20, 1908. pr. w. H. Sanders, State Health Officer
 Montgomery:
 Dear Sir-Some days ago you handed me a communication from Dr. B. H.. Sholl, chairman of the committee of pub lie health of Jefferson county, with the request for an opinion on the question submitted to you therein. Dr. Shon re- fers to my opinion of April 20 1908, and now desires to obtain through you a con- struction of certain sections of the mu- nicipal code in connection with the amend atory health act of August 15, 19O7
 It appears that further inquiry concern ing the general authority and power of the city health officer of Birmingham has arisen on account of certain ordi- nance passed by the city council of Bir- mingham, a copy of which is attached to pr. Sholls letter, regulating the bacteri- ological department of the city. Among other things this ordinance ordains that the office of city bacteriologist shall be considered an integral part of the mu- nicipaI government, and as such the city mayor'' and - that he shall make any other meteorological investigations that may be deemed by the mayor necessary for the determination of diseases threat ening public health. It will be observed that no provision is made in this ordl- nance for the supervision of this depart ment by the city health officer as pro- vided in section of the amendatory health act, approved August 15, 1907, and as provided by section 163 of the mu- nicipal code act, approved August IS, 1907.
 Subdivision b of section of the first named act provides that. "It shall be the duty of the health officer of municipal ity to exercise under the direction and control of the committee of public health, acting for the county board of health. and in accordance with the health laws of the state and the health ordinances of the mu- nicipality general supervision over the sanitary interests of the municipality, etc." Section 163 of the latter act con tains the following provision concerning

Clears the Complexion
 Overnight
Pimples, Rash, Eruptions, Etc., Quick ly Eradicated by New Skin Remedy.


 Since it's discovery one year ago, pos lam, tha new skin remedy, has, in It's ex- traordinary accomplishments, exceeded tn most sanguine expectations of the eminent specialist who gave 1t to the world. It has cured thousands of cases of eczema and eradicated facial and other disfgurements of years standing. The terrible itching attending eczema IS stopped with the first application, giving proof of it's curative properties at the very outset.
 In less sesious skin affections. such as pimples. rash. herpes, blackheads, acne, barbers' itch etc, results show after an overnight application, only a small quan- tity being required to effect a cure A muddy or sallow complexion is notice ably improved by a single application. Those who use poslam for these minor skin troubles can now avail themselves of the special 50-cent package, recently adopted to meet such needs. Both the 50-cent package and the regular $2 jar may now be obtained in Birmingham at Jacobs Pharmacy, and other leading drug stores.

snce to our people than the careful work
 Ing out of the question of water trans portation,' said MT Taylor, when
 asked for an opinion on the sub
 ject 'I resigned my place on the appropriations committee of Con gress in order to take the place on the rivers and harbors committee, to be fully in touch with this department of the gov. ernment service. l and my friends regard it that I could be of more benefit to all the people of my state in that capacity than in the other"
 MT. Taylor realizes that the question of just how far the state may go in eeding water power rights now under discussion Is likely to delay some of the enterprises
 that had anticipated the use of this form
 of power. The government officials have
 interposed an idea that beyond certain point the rights of the state cease and those of the nation as a whole become eff fective. Until 1t Is determined just where this point is, there will possibly be some delay in settlement of matters Of this kind.
 MT Taylor is an enthusiastic Bryan man and believes that the Nebraskan VIII be nominated at the Denver convention. It is his opinion that MT. Bryan can poll more votes than any other democrat and he believes it is the time for democrats to use the very best means they have at hand in their effort to secure control Of national affairs. In the opinion of MT. Taylor, there was never a time in the history of the country when democratic principles and policies were so badly need ed at Washington as they are now.
 University Law School.
 Judge W. S. Thorington, dean of the University Law school, who has been spending much of the week in the su- preme court library, is very much en- unused over the success of the school dur ing the past session. For the first time in its history, 1t was self-supporting. Of a class of 67, 32 graduated, and practically all of the others are expected to be back next year. This Is larger nucleus than the school has ever had before, and he
 believes that 1t will be able to do better work now that the enthusiasm seems to
 be pretty well built up all over the state. Tn next work in the interest of the law department will be for a modern library, which the judge thinks will not be diff ficult to obtain when the needs of the in- stitutit are thorr 'ghly understood. I: Is ma CT of sped interest to the legal fraternity of the st that the graduates of the university are accepted for practice in the courts of the state without further examination. This fact may be credited to John McDuffe of Monroe county, who. as a member of the legislature secured the passage of a bill providing that this should be so. The code committee had left out the regulations to this effect in making up the new laws, which fact was discovered by MT. McDuffie and several others just in time to rectify the trouble.

MEETING TOMORROW

Gadsden, June 2O.-(Special) 1.-The grand jury, which adjourned here today, re- turned 30 true bills. Among the num- Der were indictments against Green AL bright and Matte Treece, who are Tn the county jail, charged with the murder of Albright's wife by administering strych- nine to her. The pair were found guilty by the coroner's jury and the same evil dence seems to have been sufficient to cause the grand jury to consider the charges well founded It is not known how soon the trial will be had. After hearing the report Judge Lee discharged the jury.
 Mack Huskie, who was recently convict ed of the murder of Louis Copeland and sentenced to 12 years in the penitentiary, was today taken to the prison at We tumpka by State Agent B. M Travis.

SOME WEEKEND GOSSIP
 FROM THE STATE CAPITAL
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, June 2O.-(Special.) 1.-The ef- feet of the decisions of the supreme court this week on the prohibition laws is to firmly establish the general prohibltory act, seemingly, beyond all question. In an opinion rendered several weeks ago, MT. Justice Mcclellan went fully into the sit uation and held that all elections at which the will of the people was ex- pressed, and as a result of which prohi- bition was to prevail on 1st day of last January were legal and in full force and effect The opinion this week was based on the now famous Cullman county cases, in which the saloon men there undertook to continue in business in spite of the fact that the law had been declared valid.
 The effect of this will be that thousands of cases raov he brought against the sa- loon men nan, and if they should be pushed .o the minimum penalty, would mean rarge sums of money in fines, and long terms of Imprisonment. It is of very great interest to all sections of the state that this question seems to be so fully decided. There need now be no question in the mind of any man with re- gard to validity of the law, and liquor in- terest will be allowed to move up to the first of the year, when all of them are to go out of business, with the full under standing of the situation, so far as their relation to the rest of the community is concerned

 Judge Humphries has made great suc- cess as a lawyer, and is now the general counsel of the Southern railway Colonel Mallory has been equally fortunate, and no man stands higher as a citizen and 3 lawyer than he.
