slavery which faced the nation nearly
80 years ago. So long as a community
believes in the social evil the question
can not be solved. We may talk con-
ceitedly about our civilization, but there
are conditions and sights in our big
cities, and especially San Francisco,
which indicate relapse to barbarism.
In regard to the remedy, what Will
apply to one city will not apply to an
other. The probation committee in San
francisco is composed of good men and
men and women. Since the fire it has
been necessary to thoroughly reorgan-
iZe our work and to secure funds for
detention home. Because our COM
mittee is composed of sound citizens
we have been literally helped by phil
anthropic people.
AT present we have so or 70 people
engaged in the work of looking after
the young boys and girls. The COM
mittee is bringing its efforts to the
highest efficiency. Children should not
but for years until they have reformed.
and this requires systematic effort, with
the highest type of men and women
on our committees
ADOPT RESOLUTION
1t was at this point Judge Wilbur
asked for a resolution extending the
age of majority for girls to 81 years,
which was done by reclamation.
In the evening DR.. Hastings II. Hart,
WHO Is lQSHtlueu WIFI the
institutions of Illinois, made a strong
address before a large audience on
The Receiving Home for Children
His talk was lengthy and in effect was
that the taking of dependent children
into private homes where they may
be given home attention and looked
after occasionally by agents of the
state or societies, was the best solu-
tion of a difficult problem. He said
that the effect of institutions made the
children rather helpless when thrown
on the world. as they had been looked
after by teachers to such an extent
that they lost their initiative.
This morning there will be a trolley
ride around the city for the visitors by
invitation of the chamber of COM
merce and the conference will be re-
sumed in Chabot hall in the afternoon.

ASKS NEW QUARTERS
Judge LawIor Declares Present
Courtroom Is Unsuitable

Judge Lawlor of the superior court
yesterday mailed to the board of su-
pervisors a letter asking that imme-
diate steps be taken to provide him
with a more suitable courtroom than
the one his department. now occupies in
the criminal courts building at the
corner OF Hyde and McAl1ister streets,
Judge Lawlor set forth in his COM
munication that when the courts were
moved from the Temple Israel several
months ago. he accepted his present
quarters under protest, and that condi-
tions there have now become almost
unbearable- He declared that the room
is not only too small and too poorly
ventilated for the trial of criminal
cases. but that when the windows are
opened the noises from the street make
court work almost impossible and when
they are closed the atmosphere is unfit
for human beings
Some time ago Judge Lawlor re-
questeds as a measure of partial re-
lief, that McAllister and Hyde streets
in the vicinity of the courts build
ing, be repaved to deaden some of the
noise, but the request was not acted
upon It is within his province as a
judge Of the superior court to order
the sheriff TO provide him with suitable
quarters, and unless some action re-
suits from his present request it is
probable that he viii take such steps to
secure better accommodations.

MRS. DUMOUR|Fz IS
SUED BY AUTO CO.
Fair Claimant to Governor
Budd's Estate Defendant
in Two Actions

Two suits against Mrs. d. T. Du-
mour1ez involving money alleged to be
due on automobile transactions were
filed In the superior court yesterday by
the White company. In each complaint
1T is alleged upon information and be-
lief that the defendant is an unmar-
ried woman. Mrs. Dumouriez recently
has achieved notoriety through her
claims to the estate of the late ex-
Governor James Budd.
The first action is a suit for $S34.29,
alleged to have become due within the
last two years for goods sold, work
and labor performed and garage and
storage services rendered. A portion of
the sum claimed is stated to be for
automobile parts sent through the post
to London, Eng.
In the other suit $3.50 is claimed. The
complaint states that in May, 1906. the
company entered into an agreement to
sell the defendant White automobile.
1t was arranged between them that she
should prosecute against the Red Cross
funds claim for the use of another
automobile belonging to the White
company, and pay to the company all
money so received by her up to $1,000.
any excess belonging to her. In case
the money received from the Red Cross
Iunds should be less than 81, 800 1T was

Fred Robinson Tells What viii
Happen In
SAVANNAH THANKSGIVING
Drivers of international Fame to Com
pete Over Most Superb Course
In the WorId-The
Details Given.
SAVANNAH THANKSGIVING

Birmingham is fast becoming enthused
over the great automobile races in Sa-
vannah Thanksgiving Day, and it is prob
able that a large number of the Magic
Citys automobilists will turn their faces
toward the eastern coast of Georgia for
the purpose of witnessing the sport.
1t is an established fact that the races
will be the greatest of the kind ever
held in the United States They will
compare favorably to the Grand PriX
events of France. The greatest drivers
of Europe and America will compete,
and the excellent Savannah course,
judged the finest in the world, guarantees
reckless driving and marvellous speed.
Fred J. Robinson of the Central of Geor-
gia railroad spent yesterday in Birming-
ham and talked interestingly of the races
THE city of Savannah and Chatham
county, through patriotism alone, are ex-
pending s62, 900 in making the course of Is
miles the most perfect that the world has
ever seen. Experts of the Automobile
Club of America have visited the course,
and they describe 1t as splendid for the
purpose of fast automobile driving. Ev
cry day sees the elimination of the few
remaining curves of a sharp angle. Oil
will be sprinkled over the entire course
to prevent dust and skidding No detail
is being omitted.
As you know, the greatest automo-
bile drivers of Europe and America will
compete, among the number being young
Strang, who broke the worlds record for
a mile on a circular track in Birming-
ham. All those who have figured in the
Grand Prix events of France, the Van
derbilt cup event of America, and 9TH
ers will be at Savannah, and there is
no reason to believe other than that the
event will be the greatest that America
has witnessed.
There will be two events. On Novem-
Der % occurs the international light car
race of 200 miles. Twenty-Five have en-
tered cars for this event. On November
26 occurs the grand prize race of 400
miles. The drivers will have to make the
circuit IS times. There are "a entrants,
Germany having five, Italy 6, France
O. and America 8.
Special trains will be operated from
every direction, and a magnificent at
tendance is anticipated. The grandstand
will seat 5000 people comfortably"

NEW FIVE DOLLAR
GOLD PIECE MADE

Washington, November 5.-The mnts at
Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver
today began coming a new five-dollar
gold piece struck on a different plan
from any heretofore coined in the world.
1t. follows an idea expressed to President
Roosevelt by William Sturgis Bigelow of
Boston-that to permit the coins being
piled to a uniform height, a high or
browning relief might be obtained by de-
pressing the design below the field or face
of the coin, instead of raising it above, as
is usual in all coinage operations This
would present a fiat field and uniform
thickness, the fiat surface taking the
wear and protecting the relief, the shape
of the depression following the outline OF
the relief The same design Will be USED
on the two-and-a-half dollar pieces, and
all will bear the I'm God We Trust
motto.
