TURKEYS SCARCE
And HIGH PRICED
Supply Of Choice Birds at 80
Cents a Pound is Soon EX-
hauSted

Thanksgiving and cold weather. al
way conducive to family reunions and
oid-fashioned turkey dinners. sent the
prices of poultry, turkey in particlar,
spinning to-day.
When the markets opened yesterday
morning while the weather was un-
seasonable. poultry dealers said the
price Of turkeys would range to-day
between % and 30 cents a pound. But
a cool wave arrived last night. and
when the farmers Of the surrounding
country. who had fattened gobblers for
the Thanksgiving Day feast, started
cityward this morning with their stock,
they had visions Of better prices than
the ones the commission men had an
nounced before their coming And they
got them. The turkey supply was
not as large as had been expected and
the comparatively small number OF
birds that was offered brought as high
as 30 cents a pound. A few choice
birds could be gotten for 2s cents a
pound. but the supply of these was
Small and was exhausted early. At
noon there was not one turkey in the
street market.
The scarcity Of turkeys had the ef-
feet Of booming the duck, chicken and
goose market Prices held firm be-
tween the usual range of prices, how
ever. and there was enough Of the
fowl TO meet the demand
1t was a busy morning in the mar
ket. Housewives groaning under the
weight of loaded baskets, hurried
through the market places. The crisp
air made shopping somewhat COM
Portable and everybody seemed to be
in a good humor, typical of the
Thanksgiving season.

CONFER LIBEL CASE
 AGAIN CONTINUED

The case of B. B. Conner vs. the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad company has again been continued and is set on the docket to be heard on Monday, April 5.
 The case was brought up Wednesday afternoon and the interrogatories were taken up, but were not completed. The trial of the case was resumed yesterday morning and the interrogatories were again taken up, but some of the ques- tions had not been answered and the case was tied up again.
 number of the interrogatories filed with the suit were not answered by the respondent, it being claimed by the de- fense that they called for illegal testi- mony. The point was brought up before Judge Ferguson yesterday morning and the greater portion of the time of the court before the noon hour was con- sumed by the arguments on the question at issue
 Judge Ferguson finally ruled that the interrogatories, with the exception of one, were legal and required the respondent company to answer, granting the defend- ants until April to file their answers.

NEGRO HELD FOR
 CUTTING WIFE


 Lieut.. T. z. Hagood of the police de- partment returned late yesterday even- ing from Memphis. where he went after Tommy Neil, a negro charged with the murder of his wife here several weeks ago.
 Lieutenant Hagood has positively iden- tified Neil. When questioned last night Lieutenant Hagood stated that he tried to make the negro talk, but says that while Neil does not deny having cut his wife he is very reticent. It will be re- called that several weeks ago Neirs wife was literally cut to pieces here and her husband was charged with the offense. The negro woman died several days after the cutting.
 four police officers, accompanied by Lieu tenant Hagood, went to Neil's home to arrest him. They caught the negro and handcuffed him, and while Lieutenant Hagood was gone to telephone to head quarters for the patrol wagon Neil es- caped, handcuffed and under the fire of the three officers in whose charge he was left.
 The affair caused much talk at the time and finally resulted in the sus- pension of the three officers who allowed the negro to escape. These officers have so far not been formally reinstated

RUSSIAN PRINCE
 SPENDS DAY HERE Says He Finds Everyone Here
 a Business Man NO TIME FOR PLEASURES Prince and Princess Are Travelling Through and Only Inconvenience
 They Find Is the Excess
 iveIy Hot Weather.

Prince Carl Sarovitch, a real nobleman of Russia, with his wife, the princess, spent yesterday in Birmingham.
 The visitors are spending few months in America, and have already visited the cities of the east In New York they re- eeived fiattering attention They are now going through the south and will sail from California in May.
 Yesterday Prince Carl saw Birmingham, and made special trip in an automobile to Ensley and Bessemer. He left last night over the Alabama Great Southern for New Orleans.
 The prince speaks English well, though with a foreign accent. He is delighted with America. He finds the south de- lightful. save for it's heat When informed that yesterday was a cool day he mar veled.
 We are in America not to attract at tention, but for pleasure and education" stated the Russian. We have never been here before, but having heard great deal of your country we were very de- sirous of coming ? e have found every one a business man here. Business is everything. There is no pleasure, 1t ap pears to us. You run along the street, brushing brskly by each other as so many ants on a hill. In America we have seldom seen men gathered on the corners chatting. If one stops he says but few words, and the dash is com menced again.
 '"rhe conditions in Russia, never as bad as pictured, are improving. Russia has been maligned in every country. We are not all brutes, though, of course, cer- tain atrocities have been committed Since the war the country is developing have mines and coal in large quantities is produced In the southern sections we have agricultural people and cotton is raised along with other crops. Russia is a great country, indeed.'
 Prince Sarovitch did not discuss poli- tics the danger of an American-Japa- nese war, nor the recent struggle between his country and Japan. He did state that he saw service in several battles of that war, however and did intimate that Japan is so ambitious that he would not be surprised when this country is com pelled to defend it's possessions against the little giants of the orient. The Russians were accompanied by a valet and a maid

WEAKLEY SUGGESTS INJUNCTION FIGHT Weapon Might Be Effective for
 Temperance THE ANTI-SALO0N LEAGUE Convention Will Continue Through Today-Judge covington's Address
 Will Be Feature of the
 Night Session.

The Alabama Anti-Saloon league opened it's convention in Birmingham last night with two addresses by leading members of the organization, F. M. Jackson and Judge S. D. Weakley There were about 200 present in the audience, including representatives from different sections of the state.
 Dr. w. B. Crumpton, president of the league, presided, and introduced the speakers. The feature of the meeting was the statement by Judge Weakley that the prohibition forces can use the injunction. just as well as do the liquor people, and that they propose to do it if it becomes necessary. He also sug- gested that it may become necessary to have a beverage license commission in each county with power to cancel licenses when the laws are violated, and he con demned all talk of beer and light wine li- censes as out of the question.
 MT Jackson was introduced and well comed the league to Birmingh ham. In opening he said:
 Tt gives me genuine pleasure to tell you that we are really glad to have you come to Birmingham. In welcoming the members of the Anti-Saloon league let it be understood that we do not use the word welcome in any sense that implies we are undertaking to make glad the stranger within our gates. No member of this great and useful organization ever has been, or is. or ever will be a stranger in Birmingham. We are sure when you crossed our county line you felt in the air that something which tells us when we are almost home, and our hearts gladden. of their own accord. If we were to ask our friends, the enemy, how many state conventions the Anti-Sa- loon league has held in Alabama, the inn agination of every ally of the saloon would at once conjure up at least a dozen of, such assemblies as is now be- fore me. It is hard for us ourselves to realize that we have travelled so fast and so far without ever having taken counsel together as a whole or warmed each other with an elbow touch reaching from Tennessee to the gulf.
 Tt is meet that our first grand rally, our first state gathering of the forces that make for temperance in Alabama, should be held in Birmingham. We have through the complete and disciplined or ganization of the Anti-Saoon league won the first great battle. We have written prohibition on the statute books; we have outlawed the saloon in Alabama. Like many another great and holy cause, we float banner painted with the glorious device 'Excelsiorr But many a general and many an army has marched and fought their way to victory and failed to win its fruits.
 That the fruit of our great victory may not escape us is the duty of the hour. The enemy is even now calling

 The funeral of Hannigan will be the last of the F funerals resulting from the ex- plosion. All traces of the explosion have been removed from the mine, and there is nothing to indicate that terrible acci- dent had recently happened there.

PRATT CITY HAS
 EXCITING FIRE
TWO STORES AND SEVEN DWELL lNGS MAKE BIG BLAZE-FAIL- URE OF WATER RENDERED THE FIGHTERS HELPLESS.

Pratt City had an exciting fire last night when two stores, five white dwellings, and two negro cabins burned up on Fifth avenue. a short distance ! from the Frisco and electric car line | crossing. The water supply gave out and 300 feet of hose were burned up while the trolley poles and trolley wires of the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company were burned up causing traffic to stop.
 The fire started in the Cheatbam store and soft drink stand and spread rapidly under brisk wind despite the gallant efforts of the Pratt City volun- teer fire department. Had the water not given out on them they would very probably have been able to save half of the structures destroyed.
 The fact that the wind was blowing. in an opposite direction saved a row of 15 houses on the other side of the stores. Had these houses ever caught It might have meant the burning up of the entire town as the blocks are built up close and there was not a dron of water left to fight the fire with. Sev- eral thousand people gathered at the fire and lent their assistance in remov- ing furniture from the burning houses and preventing others from catching on fire from sparks.
 The total loss will amount to about S70o0 with but little insurance. John Benners occupied one of the residences which was destroyed
 The fire started about 9:45 o'clock and by midnight it had smouldered down to a few burning embers. The street car company put a gang of men to work immediately and expects to have the damage to it's line repaired by daybreak.

A GOOD THING.
Sure to Win When People Know It.


 The marvellous growth of the sale of Postum is principally due to the fact that when a man or woman learns that conee is hurting them and that there's relief by changing to Postum, they are pretty sure to find out for themselves by trial.
 For six or eight years l had suffered from Indigestion" writes Va. lady "un- til l was nothing but skin and bones. l tried nearly every patent medicine for stomach trouble. and several physicians, but without relief.
 Two years ago I was nervous and weak when my last boy came. and couldn't nurse him. l had an attack of bilious colic one day and could taste nothing but coffee. I told my husband I would not drink any more coffee as believed 1t caused my troubles.
 Having heard q lot about Postum had him get some. l did not like it at first, but when we boiled it thoroughly according to directions on the pkg. l liked it. felt better, and the baby was better, too.
 "s that time my husband was slave to coffee. He had his coffee and I had Postum. Che night he thought he was dying. I had had those atacks and told him he was only nervous from drinking coffee for supper.
 ''The next morning he told the cook not to make coffee. he would try Postum. When he came home that afternoon he still wanted Postum, said he felt better than for long time, and that night he rested better than for a good many nights.
 'From that day till this he has been a Postum drinker and has better health than for years. I used to weigh 120 lbs, when began to use Postum, now I weigh 150 All my children drink Postum and are healthy.
 Our grocer did not handle Postum but he got it for us. As our friends saw the good it had done us. they began to drink Postum. and now our grocer says he can hardly keep enough on hand.
 Tt is hard to down a good thing when the people find it out. l would not be without Postum for anything in reason"

 In the meantime the stock is growing larger.

If they cannot destroy it they are asking what can be done when the amount is so large that it cannot be handled with any degree of facility.
