Authorities Want Cooperation
In Guarding Against Dis
ease This Summer
EXTRA WAGONS PUT ON
TO HAUL AWAY TRASH
First Campaign Will Be Made In the
Eighth and Ninth Wards Friday and
Saturday, After Which other
Sections Will Be Visited.

Birmingham's spring cleaning is at hand
and IN order to avoid another epidemic of
typhoid fever and to prevent the spread
of smallpox and other contagious dis
eases the city authorities will put forth
an extra effort to make the city as free
from filth as possible and have everything
'spick and span when the warm weather
sets in, thereby counteracting an inroad
of any of the contagious diseases that
might prove detrimental to the general
welfare of the public. Friday and Satur-
day are the appointed days for the collec-
ton of garbage in the Eighth and Ninth
wards.
The following letter was addressed by
Mayor Ward to Street Commissioner John
M. McCartin yesterday;
John NJ. McCartn, Street Commissioner:
Dear Sir-In order to get cleaning op-
erations under way before warm weather
sets in you are herewith instructed to put
on a number of extra teams in the Eighth
and Ninth wards, which is the territory
west of Twentieth street and south of the
railroad.

all their trash and garbage and place

After this section is given a thorough
cleaning we will handle other sections Of

thing is hauled away promptly.
1T will cripple and nullify the whole

fever. Sanitary Officers Burson and Wler
Will cover the section on the south side
of the railroads within the next four or
five days and enforce the garbage can

given especial attention, and all citizens
who have not pride and interest enough
and help in this good work will be dealt
with if the law is being violated
'The authorities are determined that
Birmingham shall go through the summer
under healthy conditions. Smallpox is now
under control and is petering' out, and
will disappear entirely this summer If
the city is given a thorough cleaning.
The extra force of wagons will be sent
to another section as soon as the work at
hand is finished and due notice will be
given so the other housekeepers can CO.

SHANNON SAYS HE
HAD To SHOOT TWO
Huntsville Man Adds to MyS-
terry of Smith Shooting
CORONER SENDS AT TER HIM
Shannon Says He Had To Shoot At
Men In Birmingham and Was
Himself Shot During the
Trouble.
CORONER SENDS AT TER HIM

Again comes information this time
from Huntsville that may lead to d
solution of the mystery of the shoot
ing of officer w. A. Smith, who was
killed on Avenue between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets several weeks
ago. The latest news is interesting, al
least, even if the circumstances prove
to have no bearing on the mysterious
shooting of Officer Smith.
Deputy Sheriff William Mitchell of
Huntsville called Coroner Paris by long
distance telephone yesterday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock to say that he had Just
met white man named Dave Shannon,
formerly of Huntsville and quite well
known there, who stated that he had
to shoot two men in Birmingham two
or three weeks ago. and that the coo-
oner was after him. Shannon is said
to have stated further that he had been
shot as the result of the scrape, and
this statement was borne out by bull
let wound in the thigh which caused
him to limp. After being caught, ac-
cording to the information received by
the long distance message. Shannon
stated that it had been his intention
TO make his way to the mountains.
1t is stated that Shannon's family
lives in Birmingham having moved
fere from Huntsville. shannon him.
self had been in Huntsville about a
week when apprehendas3.
AS soon as the MESA ge was received
from Deputy Mitchell by Coroner Paris
yesterday the coroner instructed the
Huntsville authorities to hold Shan-
non until he could be sent for and
brought back to Birmin CHAM.
On the face of Shannon's statement,
which is unaccounted for as far as is
known here. it would appear that Shan
non might have been responsible for
the death of Officer Smith and wound
ing of officer Byers since he stated
that he had to shoot two men. The
fact that he said he shot the men two
or three weeks ago is also considered
as a circumstance by the local au-
thorities.
At any rate Coroner Paris will have
shannon brought back to Birmingham
TO find out what two men he shot two
OF three weeks ago and in what locality
he shot them.
With reference to the burglar shot
in Biloxi, Miss. last Thursday, whom
the auth critics here believe might have
teen the man who killed officer Smith,
Coroner Paris will send for the clothes
worn by the man at the time he was
killed in order to see whether the tai
ly with the description given by Officer
Ryers of those worn by the man whom
he says shot officer Smith.

THEY GROW
Good Humor and Cheerfulness From
Right Food.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight. 1t dis
gels the clouds from the mind as sunlight
chases away the shadows of night.
The good humored man can pick up
and carry off a load that the man with
a crouch wouldn't attempt to lift.
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt TO keep cneerfulness and
sood humor in the background. A Wash
ington lady found that letting coffee
alone made things bright for her. Shs
