ANTI-SALooN LEAGUE SUPERIN. PENDENT OF THAT STATE DIS cUSSES DlTIoNS-BRoOKS LAWRENCE BACK FROM OHIO.

Dr. Samuel Alden Smith, superintend- ent of the Anti-Saloon league of Louis- jana, was in Birmingham yesterday
 Dr. Smith is enth usiastically in favor of prohibition, and states his belief that Louisiana will soon be numbered with the dry" states.
 Dr. Smith occasioned some surprise when he remarked that the voters of New Orleans would voluntarily vote whisky out of that city.
 We are to hold primary elections in Louisiana January 2S. and the can didates favoring prohibition will most probably be elected. This means stat utory prohibition in Louisiana"
 pr. Smith was in Birmingham just prior to the recent prohibition election here. q am able" said he, ito note great change in Birmingham, even in such short while. The people are buster. the streets more full of peo- pie. and everybody seems happier.''
 The Rev. Brooks Lawrence, who played a prominent role in the recent prohibition agitation in Birmingham, returned yesterday after visiting his native state-Ohio.
 He stated that the Ohio legislature, which is now in session. would pass local option law. while Kentucky would make the county the unit in local op- tion elections.

BODY IS IDENTIFIED.
Lee Wade Is Said To Have Walked In
 Front of Fast Train.

The man who was killed by passenger train at Yolande Monday afternoon was identified at the morgue of Shaw & Son yesterday morning as Lee Wade. He was a resident of Republic and, it is un- derstood, is survived by a wife and two children. The remains of the deceased were sent to Blossburg yesterday after noon for interment, which will take place this-morning.
 Later information relative to the acci- dent Is to the effect that Wade boarded the engine of a freight train standing on the sidetrack and asked the engineer to bring him to Birmingham. The en- gineer informed him that he could not do so and 1t is understood that Wade got down, walked around the front of the engine and was struck by the fast train on the main track. He was knockel l down and death was caused by a heavy blow received<on the head.

B|G DECREASE IN
 RECORDS OF POLICE.
Only 22 Drunks During Past
 Three Weeks
LARCENY POPULAR CRIME
Assessment of High Fines and Long Jail Sentences Has So Far Kept Up Quota of Street
 Gangs.

At the close of yesterday prohibition had been in force three weeks. Before the police court Sg7 prisoners have ap- peared for trial. in comparison to 800 during any three weeks of the last four months of 1907, and TOO in January of last year.
 Larceny has become the popular crime on the docket, leaving drunkenness far in the rear This is especially remark able, since arrests for drunkenness used to double any other. Although there were IT of the New Years eve drunkards tried and convicted January l, only p have been charged with being drunk so far this year. There were seven trunks the first week, nine drunks the next. and six during the last
 This r may be compared to the 175 during the first three weeks of Decem- Der, or the average of per day dur ing last year. The ratio in comparison would be 1 to 6 per day.
 Larceny, however. has had GA devotees so far this year, fl of them for petty thefts and 23 of them for grand larceny.
 Under Chief Bodeker 51 gamblers have been arrested, three of them being pro- fessionals, several others prominent off cials. Disorderly conduct cases number 35; vagrants 16; carrying concealed weap- ons 13 affray nine; assault with intent to murder four assault and battery 16; forgery three.
 Six white men have been convicted of violating prohibition laws and nine ne- groes They were all given $9O and 1SO days. Eight of them appealed to the higher court. Here are the white men; January 6. w. H. Frederick, D. w. Jones; January T. W. R. Craft; January 8. J. s. Ferguson; January 10, J. G. Clark; Jan uary 1s, J. s. Ferguson again. Blacks: January 8, Jackson Jones, Alice Brooks; January 10. Jasper McAdory; January Il, Walter Davis. Tom Toby; January 13, Will Arnold, Lewis Butler; January 20, John Brown and Rafe McNeill.
 When the jail books were closed last night they showed balance of 155 prison CTS in custody. There were not so many on the same date last year, or on any l day in this month of last year. Considering the fact that Judge Fea- gin is assessing such high fines against drunks and prohibition violators, less men will be able to pay out, and there will always be sufficient convicts to clean l the city streets. Twenty-Five dollars for l trunks, s90 and 1S0 days for several other l crimes, is more than the average crim- I inal can pay out of,
 1 For instance, yesterday while there were only five prisoners turned over to the warden by the court two of them were sentenced to the limit, and the others had long time As soon as work in the various plants resumes it is point ed out that the police can always run in bunch of bad vagrants of the class of which the city would be well rid The financial end of the court Is the part now causing worry. Only few dollars more than s10C0 have been col lected in fines this year, while the aver age per week last year was over $500, and the total for the year $44,000
