 FOy Veterans ReuniOn

of the veterans, for Birmingham is go- ing to give them the greatest reunion they have ever had. The people of Birming- ham will have to contribute this $50,000
 but no trouble along this line is ex- pected The sum is large, it Is true, but Birmingham has always risen to the sit- uaton, and the reunion committee hasn't any other idea but that Birmingham will stand up to it's colors in this instance.
 A plan for collecting this amount is being made and work on gathering in the shekels will begin in short while. The social side of the reunion will be very prominent, and the sponsors from the different towns and states will be royalty entertained. They will not how ever, be allowed to overshadow the vet erans as they have been permitted to do in former reunions held in other cities.

The Confederate reunion will be held in Birmingham on June 10-11-12, and plans for the entertainment of the old fighters are being formulated. June 2S was the date recommended, but 1t was decided that the 10th would be much better for several different reasons. It will not be so hot then and the hotels here are usually less crowded at this time than at any other.
 The problem facing Birmingham is just how the immense crowd which will at tend the reunion is to be taken care of. The hotels and boarding houses will not begin to take care of the many Visi- tors. and it will be absolutely necessary that many private homes be opened to them.
 A sum amounting to $5O,O00 will be necessary for the proper entertainment

ASKS FOR TWO OFFICERS TO DO SOME SPECIAL WORK
Tom Ashford Says He Will Ask Chief Why He Does Not Close Gambling Den Run By a Member of
 the Police Commission.

Only another gun in the battle, but one which has the thunder of a battery came from the office of Mayor George B. Ward yesterday. It will sink deep into the walls of the opposition, and may cause no little confusion.
 It is a letter which charges that gam bling and whisky selling are going on in Birmingham. known to police officials, and declares that laws are being per verted and officials humiliated and in suited by officers who have no proper conception of their duties as public serv- ants.
 It is in reply to letter offering CO., operation from Chief of Police Bodeker. Tn that connection the Mayor asks that two officers be placed at his disposal for 60 days. and he agrees to render surprising account of assistance that would not be possible otherwise
 Will Ask Councils Aid.
 In case these men are refused. the Mayor will request that the City Council by an ordinance, give him the two men, to follow his orders with the authority of deputy sheriffs. The Mayor is re- solved to enforce liie ldWSt NAiSii iiS S"'| are being nullihed.
 It is believed that the Council would uphold the Mayor in an endeavor to exc cute his duty as an executive officer or the city It is believed that Presldent Parker would be one of the grst to ln- dorse the idea. The fact is pointed out that hitherto MT. Ward has had police men at his disposal, both to the ad- vantage of the police force, and to the detriment of no one but law preakers' The Law and Order league may hsure in the matter before it is finished
