thing but business during the days.
The question of extension will be live
issue. The order was founded at Wash
tngton and Lee university soon after the
civil war and 1t was the design of the
founders that 1t should be strictly south
ern. For a number of years 1t confined
itself to the SOUTH but recently active
chapters have been established in the east
and west. There is a strong sentiment
among the members favoring the adop-
tion of more liberal policy with refer
ence to the location of active chapters
In the north. This question was ag-
tated at the last convention held at Nor
folk in June, 1897, and the sentiment fav-
oring extension has been growing rap
idly since that time.
The Rev. f. P. Culver, who will repre-
sent the Birmingham alumni chapter as
delegate to the convention, is expected
to lead the fight for extension. Intensive
Not Extensive is the subject of a paper
by V. Otis Robinson of Jackson, Miss.
Mr.. Robinson will probably champion the
cause of the anti-extensionists on the
convention floor.
Delegates and visitors are arriving on
every train, and are being sent to the
Hotel Hillman, where headquarters have
been established.

Mr. King stated yesterday that he had
written to Montgomery for copy of the
salary" bill which passed the house at
the last session without dissenting vote
but which was never passed through the
senate.
This bill fixed the salaries of all sheriffs
and probate judges of the state at 5000
EACH and all other county officials at
$4,000 each, with the provision that each
official earn that much salary. In other
words, all surplus from unearned salaries.
1t was provided, was to be returned to
the state treasury
This is the only BILL" stated Mr. King
yesterday, (which, in my opinion, has
any chance whatever This may be
passed, though there is, of course, con-
siderable doubt"
At any rate. according to Mr. King and
others imbued with enthusiasm in the
fight against fees, the battle has lust
begun.

CELEBRATED DAY
VERY QUIETLY

Amid the promiscuous celebration of the
Fourth of July in various ways through
out the county a surprisingly small
amount of disorder was reported yester-
day. From all, quarters came reports
that the most extreme quietude prevailed.
At the county Jail last night a clear,
blank page was to be noted on the war;
denis docket under date of July 81 not
single prisoner being locked up during
the day. On the other hand possibly
dozen prisoners were sent out, and the
county bastile appears to be emptying.
There are only about $50 prisoners within
its combining walls.
AT the city jail there was no unusual
number of arrests recorded. Some 20 or
% prisoners were committed to Jail, but
a majority of them were arrested on
petty charges other than disturbing the
peace of the public.
AS a whole the day passed off delight
fully. Many picnic crowds were out en-
joying the day. Fully 10000 people at
tended the races at the fair grounds. 1t
is stated that there were no less than
1900 people at East Lake last night, the
park being fairly damned. An all-day
picnic and dance given by the Young
Mems Hebrew association at Germania
park was attended by several thousand
persons. Besides these there were
number of smaller crowds which Jour-
neyed to less conspicuous places to enjoy
the day.
The fireworks display at East Lake
was a creditable exhibition. Everything
passed off in an excellent manner and the
evening at the lake proved a thoroughly
enjoyable one.

HOWARD DIES OF

Allen N. Howard, the young man who
was run over by an Alabama Great South

teenth street crossing, died at o'clock
last night at the Davis infirmary The
remains were removed to the Lige 10y
undertaking establishment and will be
sent to Eutaw. Ala. at $50 o'clock this
morning for burial.
The deceased was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. A. w. Howard of Eutaw, who are
among the most prominent residents of
that place. His sister arrived in Birming-
ham yesterday and will accompany the
remains home.
His death was extremely pathetic. He
was coming to Birmingham for few
days visit and as the train neared
Eighteenth street he walked out upon
the platform of the coach and In some
manner fell under the wheels, which
passed over his right leg. He was rem
dered unconscious Immediately and never
regained consciousness.
