Enlistment declined to open the safe
Chief Bodeker employed safe expert to

airy restraining order was recognized by
Judge Lane. and injunction was issued
against Chief Bodeker and Mayor Ward.
In the meanwhile, however. the sheriff
having not been enjoined, proceeded to
open the SAFE in which number of bot
ties of whisky were found. The openins
of the safe resulted in the charges OF
contempt against the officials.
The hearing consumed practically the
entire afternoon yesterday. Quite num-
Der of authorities on similar cases were
cited and Judge Lane has taken the case

The report of E. M. Duncan, meat
and milk inspector of the city, has been
made to the mayor
During the month Mr.. Duncan inspect
ed 5O6S animals, these being animals
slaughtered in Birmingham, inspected on

In addition Mr.. Duncan inspected 49,

being for the discovery OF various kinds

contained and Mr.. Duncan states that
as a whole the samples were very good.
Mr.. Duncan also tested % samples of
water taken from city hydrants. These
samples, Mr.. Duncan states. were fairly
satisfactory. He also examined three
samples of water from wells within the
city limits and these samples. he re-
ports, were very unsatisfactory.

Disreputable Dives viii Con-
tinue Until Issuance of Ii
cenSeS Is Restricted
PRESENT SYSTEM WILL
MAKE PROHIBITION FARCE
Alderman From Fourth Ward Says
Any Man, No Matter What His
Character, Can Get Soft
Drink License.

Restriction in the matter of issuing
soft drink and near beer licenses as
remedy for the unrestricted sale of real
beer and straight whisky, is advocated by
Walter Moore, alderman of the Fourth
ward.
Mr. Moore declares that as long as any
man. whoever he may be, and whatever
his character and reputation might be, is
able to procure on application a license
for the dispensation of soft drinks, =
Birmingham will never see prohibition en-
forced, and will continue to see infrac-
tons of the law and horrible crime
and killing
When there were open saloons the
city took the position that it could is
sure a saloon license to this applicant
if it saw fit, and refuse to issue a Ii
cense to this if it chose. Since prohibition
has been a law, however, the city takes
the position that it cannot issue a soft
drink license to this man, and refuse
that.
Alderman Moore. however, takes a diff
ferent view, and is of the opinion that
unless the city does discriminate in this
respect. last nights horrible chapter of
bloodshed will be a frequent occurrence.
Said Mr.. Moore in discussing this mat
ter: 1.-The city of Birmingham, which,
by the way, has made no single effort to
enforce the prohibition laws, must exer-
else some judgment in issuing licenses for
the dispensation of soft drinks.
"In other words. it is absurd to believe
that the man who, under the open sale
of whisky, operated a disreputable dive.
will abide by the law when under prohi-
bition he is licensed by the city govern
ment to sell soft drinks and near beer
"Asl, long as any man who applies re-
ceives license, 1t is ridiculous to hope
that the sale of whisky can be re-
stricted and prohibition given fair
chance.
at is ridiculous, too, to hope that the
man who operated licensed saloon and
transformed it into a dive, will under
prohibition, and armed with a license OF
the city of Birmingham keep himself
free of crime.
ut was the dive saloon that brought on
prohibition. 1t is the indiscriminate is
suance of licenses for soft drinks on the
part of Birmingham which makes prohi-
bition a dead letter, and initiates crimes
of all kinds killings and murder.
"If lawlessness in Birmingham con-
tinues you may give as cause the IN
discriminate issuance of soft drink Ii
continues you may attribute the blame
to the city council, its predominating fac
ton, and it's miscellaneous committee. :"

and has a national reputation in that
line. Then why should he be removed !?
He is honest, capable and faithful. I
have known him well for over 20 years
and have never heard anything to dis
credit him in all that time. Besides, he

Planning To Build Large
Industrial Home For Girls

The following address has been issued !:
To the public;
For many years it has been the ulti-
mate aim and plan of the Mercy Home
to establish an industrial home for girls
plan that we believe will meet with
the approval and cooperation of all
classes. These is. perhaps, at the present
time no philanthropy so neglected, and
no need so imperative, as suitable pro-
vision for the dependent girls of our
state.
With a large rural population and a
deficient public school system for many
years, numbers of girls now between
the ages of 16 and % are dependent and
without resources.
The boys are provided for by the State
Industrial school at East Lake, and one
or two private schools. The state school
at Monteva1lo cares for those who are
able to pay something, but nothing has
been done for the dependent girls.
From the police court, the probation
officers, the city missionary and from our
admission committee of the Mercy Home,
appeals come again and again for place
for the delinquent, and the inscorrible
girl And these girls are more sinned
against than SHINING. They come from
the country attracted by the stories of
friends, the advertisements in the pa
pers, etc, with strange erroneous ideas of
a city, and they find themselves help
less-utterly unable, because of their lin
itations, to secure work. Unframed and
uneducated they are easy prey for the
worst influences and become once for all
parasites, lost to themselves and lost
to the world, simply for the lack of prop
er training, for as has been we'll said,
you must make living to make
life"
Our plan will include the delinquent
girl and will provide for girls who can

At the meeting of the Board of Trade
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock on the
fourth floor of the First National Bank
building, two important questions will
come up-Birmingham's water supply and
shopping days.
The board will endeavor to secure the
cooperation of the railroads and mer-
chants to establish certain shopping days
when special sales will be put on. and
the railroads will grant special rates to
people living within 100 miles of the city.
President Ewing invites non-members
who are interested to attend, and is desr-
Gus to have all the wholesale and retail
merchants ATTEND the meeting.
The board will also probably appoint a
committee to take up the water supply,
and assist the Commercial club. Other
important matters are scheduled for ac-
tiop.
