The people of Shades valley held an edu-
cation rally and picnic at Rocky Ridge,
just beyond the reservoir, yesterday.
There was a large crowd of men, women
and lots of babies.
Then, there were some politicians. The
let a picnic slip by these days. They
don't go out in automobiles, although
several own machines, but scrape up an
old nag with a rickety buggy, get on
trousers without creases, old coats, buy
some vile tobacco and stick a cob pipe in
their mouths. Then they are ready to ask
a countryman for his vote.
The first thing on the programme yes

by Col. Sumpter Len, who made an elo-
quent appeal for sacrific in educating the
children. Master of ceremonies, P. w.

BESSEMER COURT
IN REBIE HALL

Tomorrow morning the Board of Reve-
nue. will take final action in the matter
of the selection of quarters for the city
court at Bessemer. The matter has been
come Is awaited with considerable in
terest.
1t is understood from a semi-official
source that the court rooms will be al
lowed to remain in Rebie hall, the pres
ent quarters. Such being the case, i'm
provements will be made on the hall and
1t Is understood that the present court
rooms will be remodeled to a large de-
gree ard put in the best of shape.
The lease on Rebie hall is about to ex-
pire and when the Board of Revenue
took up the matter of the renewal Of the
lease it was found that there was some
objection to the present quarters, and
McAdory hall was recommended as a
more suitable place for the court. This
complaint seems, however, to have come
from outsiders altogether, all Of the court
officials desiring to retain the present
quarters.
The board has been considering the
matter for more than a week, but 1t Is
understood that the commissioners have
definitely decided to retain Rebie hall as
a location Of the city court.

It will be recalled that the coroner
stated last Sunday that ii was his bellef
that Howton had shot his father and
that the Norwoods were implicated. He
also put forth the theory that whoever
shot the elder Howton with the revolver
had stood over him and fired the bullet
into his body after the man had been shot
down. This theory was gained from the
fact that the bullet passed entirety
through Howton's body and lodged in the
back of his coat, evidently having been
stopped by the impact against the ground
upon which Howton was lying.
The case has been carefully worked up
by the coroner and he states that he VIII
push it to the very end.
II am confident" said the coroner last
night, that Howton and the elder Nor
wood are equally guilty.
A preliminary investigation of the case
will probably be held within a few days
and the outcome will no doubt be eagerly
awaited.

PROTECTION FOR
ALL THE PEOPLE
BODEKER. PLANS
While Nothing Definite Has
Occurred the Chief
Is Figuring
PRIVATE SECRE TARY
is ONE NECESSITY
Would Have Mounted Patrol Over En-.
tire Greater Birmingham With
Sub-Headquarters at EnsIey.
Commission Gets Busy.

Chief Bodel1er Of the police department.
in an off-hand statement yesterday after
noon, declared his intention of doing his
utmost to give the newly acquired terri
tory adequate police protection.
In this connection 1t is learned that the
commission, probably at its next meeting,
will discuss this problem. Before the
department is in a state of operation over
the entire field of Greater Birmingham
more than a thousand kinks will have
to be worked out, 1t is understood.
Chief Bodeker, of course, will ask for
more men-probably for twice as many
as are at present on the staff. In addi-
ton to desk sergeants and telephone
sergeant-this man to receive reports
over the telephone and do nothing else
the chief is very anxious for an assist
ant, one who can work and at the same
time advise The chief, in other words,
wants a private secretary. which prac-
tically all the chiefs of other cosmopoli-
tan cities possess.
As to how he will operate the depart
ment, the chief, naturally is still a trif1e
in doubt. He desires, however, to have
a mounted patrol extending over East
Lake, Woodlawn, Avondale, East Thomas
and other suburbs, and another extend
ing over the suburbs to the west of the
present city. 1t is his intention to estab-
lish a sub-station in Ensley, this branch
to have charge of Ensley, Pratt City
and Wylam.
According to the plan every officer will
be required to call police headquarters
once each hour This will result in an
almost continuous ring of the telephone
bell, and in the need Of the telephone
sergeant.
Although nothing for certain is settled,
Chief Bodeker has gone on record as
being determined to give the suburbs
police protection.

DOUBLE PRIMARY
VERY IMMINENT

The fact that three prohibition candi-
dates seem about to precipitate them
selves into the race for governor-Mal-
lory. Weakley and Seeds considered by
local politicians a sure sign that the
state democratic committee will select
the double primary system by requiring
a plurality to elect.
The prohibitionists, it IS said, would be
afraid to leave the bars down for an
open race, because local optionist might
slip through The news comes from
Montgomery that should three prohibition
candidates announce, a double primary
is sure thing. Capt Frank White,
chairman of the state committee, is now

NELSON ENDORSES IDEA
OF THE BIG CELEBRATION

President Frank Nelson Endorsed the
idea last night. He said:
THAT is not a bad idea 1t is time
that we got together. The celebra-
ton should not be in the spirit of a
triumph, but time for the removal of
petty jealousies and getting together
for the good of the whole city.
"If the matter is taken up we should
see that celebration is pulled off with
no equal. Plenty of money and time
would have to go into it, and the people
aroused to such an extent that the
noise of our success would travel over
all the states. An elaborate parade,
and many other features, could be
worked up. 1 think well of the plan,
and hope to hear many suggestions"

a general act will not hold water.
THE exact area, as 1 had it carefully
checked, of the greater city is 481a
square miles.
Il believe the population will reach
$4,000, and if all the plants are run
ming it will probably go as high as 1885,
900; but no higher.
II will return to Montgomery Monday
and check up the journals which are
Gus amendments offered"

ENGINEER COTTON
HURT IN WRECK

In a. collision which occurred last night
about o'clock at Weems, between two
freight trains of the Southern and Cen
trail of Georgia railroads, Engineer Col
ton Of the Southern, was painfully in
1ured about the head and limbs and the
engineer of the Central Of Georgia train
was badly bruised and narrowly escaped
serious injury. The collision was caused.
1t is said by an open switch into which
the train of Engineer Cotton ran, thus
colliding with the freight on the Gen.
trail of Georgia tracks.
The injured men were brought to Bir-
mingham. where Cotton was taken to an
infirmary.
