At the meeting of the City Council last night, Alderman Fred A. Fughum, against whom sometime ago charges of bribery were preferred by Henry w. Egg gler, invited an investigation into his official conduct.
 After the statement of Alderman Fulg hum, Alderman John R. Copeland moved that d committee to make this investi- gation be appointed The motion pre- vailed, and Alderman Gregg, who presid- ed over the meeting of the council last night, appointed the following: Alder man Moore, chairman; Alderman Heidt, Alderman Gum, Alderman Morgan, and Alderman Cooper. No date for the meet ing of the committee was agreed upon, Alderman Moore stating after the coun- els session, that he would attend to the matter at the earliest possible mo- ment.
 Alderman Fulghums statement inviting the investigation and reviewing the con- troversy follows:
 MT President and Members of the City
 Council:
 1 rise to a point of personal privilege, and ask your indulgence for few mo- ments.
 A certain newspaper of this city, in a recent issue, calls attention to the fact that l am chairman of the judiciary com mittee of this honorable body, to which committee certain reports were referred of the last meeting of this council, and points out that the committee appointed by Mayor Ward to investigate certain charges against me has never reported and further states that my friends should insist on an immediate investigation of said charges.
 A recent mass meeting held in this city adopted the following resolutions:
 "Inasmuch as charges of bribery have heretofore been preferred against Alder man F'ulghum and such charges referred to a special committee, which has never made an investigation of or reported on the truth or falsity of said charges, that speedy, careful and impartial investi- gation be had of said charges, to the end that Alderman Fulghum be either vindicated or convicted"
 In this connection l desire to say, that if any member of this honorable body desires an investigation of any official act of mine, I will gladly vote for the same and will use my every effort to have such investigation made at once, and without limitations of any kind or char acter
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-17

In justice to the members of this board and to myself, l wish to say that any sta tement, by whomSoeVer made, to the effect that any charges of any kind have ever been preferred before this board against me, since l have been a member Of this body is untrue. On the contrary, the committee which was appointed by the mayor to investigate the matter of an indictment of bribery returned against me by the grand jury, was appointed at my instigation and upon my request made on the 10th day of February, 1907, as is shown by the following record, which appears in the minutes of the council meeting of that date.
 "Olderman Fulghum arose on a point of personal privilege with reference to an indictment against him by grand jury on charge of bribery, denying his guilt and requested that the board make an in vestigaton of the matter"
 On March 20, the following communica- ton from the mayor was read:
 'As per instructions of the board at meeting of February 20, the following committee is hereby appointed with ref erence to investigation requested by AL derman Fulghum:''
 Respectfully submitted,
 G. B. WARD, Mayor.
 The members of this committee sev- eral of whom are present here tonight. can testify that l used every effort to have the said committee meet and act, going in person to different members of the committee and requesting that they make immediate disposition of the matter. The indictment which was returned against me having been dismissed, I was anxious that the whole matter be dis posed of, and when on August 21, 1907, the City Council re-organized under the new municipal code, this committee, to- gether with all other committees, special and standing, was dissolved, and I natur- ally considered the matter at end.
 But recognizing the right of liberty of speech and of the press, and recognizing the inalienable right of the citizens, in a. peaceable manner, to assemble together for the common good, and to apply to those vested with the power of govern ment for redress of grievances or other purposes by petition, address or remon- strance, not alone am I willing and anx- icus, if any member of this honorable body desires an investigati but 1 in- vite the same, and l further wish to say that 1 will harbor no ill-will or feeling of resentment against any member of this board who desires to request such investigation.

 Charcoal is one of the strongest ab- sorbers known and mixed with the sa- llva of the mouth 1t quickly takes away the bad effects of mouth decay acids and odors.
 Charcoal wil! absorb one hundred times it's volume in gases.
 Charcoal is used at sea to keep water sweet. A little placed In a pan keeps a refrigerator sweet and free from de- caying odors, also sleeping room or foul cellar or sink.
 John Turnbull of Glasgow, Scotland, famous chemist, covered two dead dogs with charcoal and placed them in his study without any covering whatever be- yond charcoal. In six months time only the bones of the dogs remained. And the flesh was entirely gone, yet no odor what ever had permeated the study during tho decay of the animals notwithstanding the weather was highly conducive to rapid decay.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made from willow charcoal and honey. Willow is the most porous charcoal obtainable and therefore absorbs quickly and in greater quantity than other charcoal. It contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

manner. Nothing would satisfy the
audience but an encore.
The debate was interesting. The
negative, because of the failure of

and the audience with the facts ABOUT
Liberia, were compelled to present
both sides. Because Liberia had no
railways, telephones, telegraph, street
cars, sewerage, not many, if any, hos
pitfalls, blind or insane asylums, and
because the negroes to go there would
have to sell 746,717 farms which con-
tain more area in square miles than
is contained in all of Liberia, and be-
cause the negroes would be deprived
of the political, social, Industrial, ag-
