Saturdays Campaign.

Il a. m, Birmingham district confer ence, attended by mayors, city health officers. officers of commercial organiza- tions and editors.
 D. m., relief and charity conference for church. lodge. union and other rep- resentatives of sick, relief and benefit committees.
 Birmingham district as well as "Br- mingham city" is to benefit by the hold ing of the American tuberculosis exhibi- : tion in this city. According to the plans of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, Brming- ham was selected as the strategic center from which to reach the heart of Central Alabama. To this end Director F. C.. Routzahn is sending out invitations to a Birmingham district conference" to be held at the exhibition headquarters to- morrow at Il a. m. Plans will be present. ed for concerted movement among all the cities and towns of Jefferson county and the tributary territory It is ex- pected that there will be delegations and days and committees at the exhibition, with meetings and much doing in all Jefferson county communities.
 One day of the exhibit will be devoted especially to the negroes, who are the greatest of all sufferers from tubercu- losis. Hence the conference at Il this morning with a group of negro leaders will be one of the important sessions in preparation for the exhibition The two conferences this evening will bring to- gether groups of influential men and women wno are much concerned about the success of the exhibition. Many of the final plans will be submitted for discussion. and decision.
 Every lodge which has a benefit fund or a visiting committee, every union which looks after it's sick brethren, every church which is interested in any of the poor or the sick, every public school or Sunday school teacher who interests her self in the home conditions of her chill dren, every official of a public relief or charitable institution of any sort and a host of other folks are all interested in the present campaign against tubercu- losis.
 These are the arguments offered by the director of the American tuberculosis ex- hibition for a pre-exhlbition conference called for tomorrow afternoon at o'clock. In this meeting there will be some discussion as to how the coming exhibition may be made of the greatest value to all those who are interested in relieving physical or financial distress in the homes of the people. Some consid- eration will be given to what tubercu- losis does to help make institutions neces- sary,, as well as what it accomplishes toward depicting benefit funds of all sorts. The meeting Saturday will pre- pare the way for some important devel- opments which will make the tubereu- losis exhibition of considerable impor- tance to many people both in the city and in the nearby towns.
 In addition to those especially invited to be present, all who are interested will be welcome tomorrow at D. m.

structed to make a note of such signs and when such are reported arrests will follow.
 In this connection. it might be well to state also that it is an unlawful act to hitch horses to trees and telephone poles or to throw glass upon the streets. Ere quently when horses are hitched to trees the animal nibbles the bark. or if it he young tree the top is often bitten off and the tree is killed. This mutilation is punishable by heavy fine
 The law makes provision that the fine imposed shall be divided between the city and the person reporting the case.

ERONAUT PUT
 UNDER ARREST
OFFICER TAKES HIM IN FOR DIS TRIBUTlNG HANDBlLLS ON THE STREETS, WHICH IS CONTRARY TO LAW IN BIRMINGHAM.

Claud Laws, an aeronaut who has at tracted considerable attention in Bir- mingham with his maneuvers during the past few days, was jailed yesterday aft ernoon. Since his arrival in the Magic City, Laws has been an attache of a local restaurant in the capacity of an ad- vertising medium.
 When the aeronaut struck town the restaurant man employed him, and for several days he was busily engaged in his shop in the rear of the restaurant in con- structing an airship, perhaps one of the first which guarantees absolute safety to the operator. He first procured a pill low slip and sl1illfully inflated it with feathers or cotton or some light material. This he mounted on a wooden frame, to which he attached his car of rim draped with red bunting.
 Yesterday Laws, equipped with a good 1y supply of ballast in the form of hand bills, set out for an extensive naviga- ton. Shortly afterward crowd gathered on one of the prominent street corners. Police Officer Hawkins had ''nabbed" the navigator. It was at first rumored that Laws had ascended to a great height and was exceeding the speed limit when Officer Hawkins drew hls trusty irons and punctured the bag. Quite number of handbils were scattered about the streets and it was evident that some of the ballast had been thrown out of the airsnip to counteract the speedy descenson.
 It was learned later, however, that Laws machine would not fly for some reason and that he was passing away the time in distributing handbills, which is against the law in Birmingham. He was conveyed to the city jail. where he made bond.

WANTS NEW ROAD
 OVER MOUNTAIN
REPRESENTATIVE HALEY POINTS OUT IMPORTANCE OF HIGHWAY OUT ST. CHARLES STREET, WHERE GRADE IS VERY LOW.

'The movement so ably begun by the Board of Trade and City Council in the resolutions already introduced for the St. Charles street road across Red Mountain into Shades valley, in my opinion, should Le pushed by the Board of Revenue, an1 built without delay" said Representative L. J. Haley, Jr., yesterday.
 "The present board should be the one to start the work, and no candidate now running for the next board should be voted for unless he Is in favor of such badly needed improvements.
 "The St. Charles street road is really a small matter. so far as cost and length of time necessary to complete it are con- cerned. It is big matter though to peo- pie living in Shades valley, and the coun- try south of Birmingham and also to the people of this city. as 1t will open up 8 large body of land and make it accessi- ble for building homes for the people of the city
 From the information have been able to obtain the total cost of this St. Charles street road, macadamized, is about SIP, ,0O0 which is exceedingly small for d road that will be of so much benefit not only 70 the people living in that section, but to the citizens and merchants of Birmlng- ham also. The present roads into Shades valley from Birmingham are, good mac adam roads, and in good condition, but the grade is so steep that only small load can be hauled over them. This new t1rfII aa f1.1, one-half the grade of the most of the present roads, and will be on a line due south of Capitol park in Birmingham. From the present end of St. Charles street in Birmingham to the point in the Iron dale and oxmoor road where this road will connect is only one mile.
 'I cannot see how the present board can avoid the immediate commencement of this road and the tunnel, also, later, especially as work was begun this morn ing to macadamize the Irondale and Ox- moor road, which macadamizing will be largely wasted unless the St. Charles street road is built.
 Tn view of the fact that the St. Charles street road will have a maximum grade of per cent, which is about .one-half the grade now existing on roads across Red mountain; that it will only cost the small amount of about $12,000: that it can be started and finished in three or four months and that it will aid the mer- chants in Birmingham, on account of it's central entrance and easy grade. and on account of the taxpayers south of Bir- mingham calling for it. is the cause of my interest. l do think the present board should call a meeting and set aside s12,- GOO for the construction and order it built at once'

Moffat Road Reaches Its Goal.

The track laying machine of the Mof-
fat railway last Saturday reached the
Perry coal mine, the goal for which the
road has been striving since the work of
construction first commenced six years
ago. Next week, the locomotives will
begin using Routt county coal, the best
fuel for steam purposes found in the
west.
The Perry mine has this year been
the scene of a vast amount of develop
ment and is now ready for the installing
of machinery to be brought in immedi-
ately by the railroad. The mine is now
the busiest place in Routt county, work
of all kinds being rushed to prepare for
commencing shipments of coal. -Yampa

which is about half an inch thick, splits
up enough tough-papery sheets of al
most any desired thinness, and can be

were paper. Sheets of the bark will be
cut into note paper size and some will
