commissary. and Sam knew TINT he

The boy was choked into insensi-

Sheriff Fennell was notified, but
had no available deputy he could
send to the scene, and himself had
to leave on the noon train on more

Jones had made his escape, but a war

STEPS TO EXTEND
 CITY'S PLAYGROUND

The board of directors of the Birmng- ham Playground and Athletic association held a meeting in the Commercial club rooms yesterday afternoon and transacted considerable business in connection with the association's work. The feature of the meeting was the election of four ad- dtional members of the board of direc- tors, the four men elected being A. H Ford, M. V. Joseph, Leon w. Friedman and T. c. Young. the original board consisted of nine members but it was lately decided to increase the number to 15, which still leaves two vacancies The original nine members are Col T. G.. Bush, Mayor George B. Ward, w. M. Cosby R. S. Munger, W. D. Nesbitt James Bowron. John L. Parker, Dr. J. H. Phillips and Ed Warren, Jr.
 Officers were also elected at yesterday s meetings, those elected being w. D. Nes- bitt, president; James Bowron, vice pres ident; T. c. Young, secretary, and Leon w. Friedman, treasurer.
 The president was instructed to appoint committees on publicity, membership, games and athletics, and a committee to consult with the constituted legal au- thorities to secure the proper supervision over the playgrounds already established The president was also instructed to issue an address to the public setting forth the purposes of the association and requesting the cooperation of every citi- zen.
 The membership was also decided upon it being decided to have two classes of members. First, all children, who will be non-paying, and another class consisting of active and associate members. The active members to pay yearly dues of 5 and the association $2.5O.
 Several matters of interest in connec- ton with the establishment of play grounds were spoken of, among them being the. case of New York and an- other of Chicago. It was said that New York had expended over s6,O00,0O0 during the past six years on the equipment alone of her playgrounds. while Chicago had expended nearly s1o.oO0.O0O for equipment alone. during the past three years. The establishment of paygrounds in all parts of the city will be prosecuted viz orouely, and it is believed that Birming ham can do equally as much if not more in proportion for it's children as New York and Chicago have done.

trusts was the surest way to prevent the iniquitous development of these great combinations, and has likely had more restraining effect upon them than even the laws, jures and courts of the country.
 As explained to you in my verbal report. the wholesale grocers of Arkansas at one time fought the American Tobacco com pany to a finish, and were only beaten on account of the fact that the trust" purchased the independent factory in St. Louis from which Arkansas jobbers saw fit to purchase their supplies rather than purchase same from the trust"
 The wholesale grocers properly feel afraid Of the sourse which the so-called trusts have mapped out and are so re- lentlessly pursuing Having broken up and put out of business the smaller fac tories and independent packers and whole sale grocers, they will then proceed to also eliminate the retailer and go direct to the consumer; having thus also. eliminated the retailer, they will then have the consumer completely at their mercy, and will be enabled to exact from the head of each family whatever price they. may see lit to place upon the most important articles of .,ving. This was exactly what was done in the elimination of the smaller in dependent companies, wholesalers and re- taiers in the matter of oil,
 trust that the court, through you, will pardon me when 1 say that this policy of the oil and other trusts Is so damnable we would be justified in going to almost any limit in opposing same, not only in our own interests, but in the interest ot the smaller factories, retailers, women and children of the land
 In conclusion, as verbally stated to you, I will with great pleasure answer any further questions you may see fit to send me; will at any time gladly place you or any person duly authorized to represent you, in full charge of the records of this office, and would be glad if you were to make a thorough and exhaustive ex- animation as to whether the above state ments are or are not substantially cor rect. You will find no books mutilated, or files lost. We do nothing secret or un- derhanded.
 Under the circumstances I trust you will pardon what may seem unnecessary length in answering your questions l. however, felt 1t due you personally. due the department of justice, and all citizens. interested, to answer your questions as fully as possible. Very respectfully, i J. A. VANHOOSE
