 Report. ATTACKS LOCKER SYSTEM Sheriff Higdon Comes in for Much
 Criticism. The Fee systen in General of OAcials ef Jefferson County is De-
 neunces--salaries Are
 necsmmended.

Birminghamy March 5.-(special.)-- Ending its work late today. the grand jury handed out sredhot report. rec ommending that the charters of the southern and Country Clubs be re- voked on account of the bad example set In infringement of prohibition law and calls on the Legislature to abolish the locker system as practiced in these and other clubs.
 The report pays much attention to Sheriff Higdon, who spent more than two hours before the grand jury this afternoon. Regarding the charge that the Sheriff paid Curtis Shugart $250 to swear out warrants for the arrest of over a hundred women in the segregat- ed district. the report declares that ew- idence Is found to uphold Solicitor Hef- lin.s statementS that Shugart said he received this money, but there is not sufficient evidence to prove Shugarts statement fact. No indictment there- fore Is returned. It Is known that the jury wrangled long over this point and that the solution was in the nature of q compromise. : s
 Tn q recent interview MT. shugart. who has returned to Birmingham from Oklahoma, denies that Higdon ever paid him money. >e .
 The report takes up the strike charge against Higdon and declares the cus- tom of receiving money from corpora tons for the furnishing of deputies to be bad one. It 'denounces also the refusing of bond to men caught in raids on blind tigers until the men have been march ed through the streets to jail.
 The fee system in general is de- nounced. the report recommending that County officers be put on q salary.

IRREPARABLE HARM

The passing of the Payne tariff
D!I! FER day evening by the house of
representatives, since it's present
form Is recognized as entirely tenn
porary, is OF very little Importance.
except in lesoening the time dur ng
which the business OF the country
must remain depressed through .he
tariff tinkering. If passed in anything
near its present form it would work
almost irreparable harm to the coun-
try The Chicago Post, conserva-
tive Independent paper, recognizing
TINS tact, has the following 20 say of
the Payne bill a1 it will go to the
senate:
In the judgment OF the Evening
Post 1t is time for the Republican
party 20 stop and consider what such
course would mean. AS we see IL
three most grave consequences void
follow.
/. Their President Taft would
veto the bill Or he would sign II
under protest, out OF regard for the
pressing financial needs OF the M
ton. In either case he would be
discredtted as a party chief and h
party would face the same disinte-
grafton that came to the Democracy
over the Wilson bill.
2. 1t is almost certa n that there
would be a popular revolt sufficient.
t. sweep the Republican majority
out OF congress. This happened in
1892. There is no reason in sight
why it should not happen again.
3. The immense sacrifice which
our whole business and financial
world is making in order that the
costly work OF changing the tar. If
may be done would have to be made
all over again.

THE PRICE OF PEACE

Since 1897 the expenses OF the
German army and navy have risen
from S152,00O,00O to $32S,OOO,OOO;
real estate, incomes and every arti.
Gle OF general consumption are sur
charged with taxes; the cost of lly-
ing has gone up enormously, and IL
Is precisely on the absolutely indis-
pensible things that the rise IS felt
most severely, says the Courier-Jour-
nal. The Peace Society of the M
pre- at its recent meeting held al
Stuttgart declared that war in Eu-
rope had become almost an inpossi-
bility. and recent developments in
the Balkan crisis encourage that be
lief.
In its official protest II sets form
that more than 100000 Germans
are dependent on commerce and
Grade; that the raw materials they
need come for the most part from
abroad, and that war would spell
starvation, If not revolution and the
downfall Of the present regime. Great
Britain has millions of unemployed.
VINO cannot hope for work until
the laying of the spectre of war
starts up the machinery of prosperi-
". Ru-sia and Italy and France
need rest, and, say these Stuttgart
ers' all the world is tired OF arma-
nients and is c,amorous for their
reduction.
And, in the next paragraph, we
read that Austria is going TO have
some Dreadnaughts, too. TIL IS
Germany's answer to the voluntary
aid Of New Zealand, Austria and
Canada. Her ally has been asked
to make good Which is right
