STUDENT DOCTORS
 CANNOT HAVE DOGS
MAYOR DENIES REQUEST THAT IMPoUNDED DOGS BE TURNED OVER FOR EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSES.

The student doctors failed in an at- tempt to obtain possession of the inn pounded dogs which were and are doomed to death by the route of the gas tank.
 On account of the recent renewal of the campaign against the dogs, a campaign in which muzzles were required and the poundkeepers inspired to greater effort, many more canines have found their way into the pound than are generally found there.
 Some days ago some of the young doc tors requested Mayor Ward to turn the dogs which were unclaimed over to them for experimental purposes But the Mayor declined. He afterwards stated to a reporter that while he found 1t neces- stary to keep dogs off the streets and to visit upon them other punishment, he did not think it exactly right that these animals should be removed from the care of the keepers who are employed by the city.
 And so the dogs will not die under the surgeons knife. The gas route retains it's own.

MAN HIT BY GAR ON
 MT. PINSON ROAD
WILLIS HARRIS KNOCKED DOWN BUT CAR DASHED ON AND HE WAS UNABLE TO GET THE NUMBER.

Willis Harris, who lives near Mt Pin son, was run down, by an automobile on the Mt Pinson road a short distance from North Birmingham early yesterday afternoon. MT. Harris had no bones broken, but was badly bruised He was thrown to the side of the road and was unable to arise for several moments.
 Two men and a woman were in the ma chine, which was a large touring car MT Harris stated that he had gotten out of his wagon and was walking around to the rear to straighten some crates in the wagon. Just as he reached the rear the automobile came dashing up at a good rate and struck him squarely, throwing him several feet through the air. He jumped just before the machine struck him, and to this he attributes the fact that he was not killed. as the car hit him while he was in the air
 Instead of stopping the car the chauf- feur put on full speed and dashed away. being out of sight before Harris was able to rise from the ground. He did not catch the number of 1t, but described it as a dark red car and believes he would rec ognize it if he should see it.
 After getting up from where he was thrown he drove to North Birmingham m and had doctor dress. his bruises. and also reported the matter to the authori- ties He was very angry over the affair and stated that he was going to find the people in the car If it took him the rest of his life.

HOW ONE WOMAN
 CONQUERED MAYOR
SHE WANTED A TICKET TO MEM PHlS FOR HERSELF AND SEVEN CHILDREN AND SHE FINALLY GOT IT.

How a woman with a will can conquer any man, much less an individual with as kindly heart as Mayor Ward pos sesses, was demonstrated yesterday when Mrs. Richard Hendricks and seven chil- dren demanded and obtained a charity ticket out of Birmingham.
 The lady and the children appeared in the morning and made known their de- sire. The Mayor hesitated, fidgeted about in his chair and finally decided that the exigencies of the case were not acute enough to warrant him in issuing the transportation.
 Very we'll" stated the lady But we are helpless in Birmingham. On account of my children it is with great diff culty that I walk the street The office here is warm and ample. I will re- main"
 At the noon hour the Mayor left for lunch. When he returned the mother and her children were still in possession of the office, the lady quietly reading a pamphlet. while the children were play ing on the floor.
 But the Mayor did not surrender at this time. obdurate indeed. was the Mayor. But several hours later, when no developments appeared and the lady gave every indication of remaining in- definitely the cave-in occurred.
 Where do you wish to go?" inquired the Mayor finally.
 ITO Memphis" she replied
 You have very little money ard your husband is dead?'
 Yes" and the womans eyes slowly filed
 Then the Mayor spoke a trife more harsh than Is his wont. "Pepperman, cried he to his secretary, 'give this lady the transportation she desires. It's strange to me you haven't done so before this late hour"
 Then Mrs. Hendricks asandoned the fort, but in making surrender she had obtained terms to her satisfaction.
 "A woman is a funny thing" pom dered the Mayor, after the lady had de- parted. But the reporter had got his story and the Mayors views on the wom- an question being so familiar. he saw nothing of value forthcoming and de- parted.

BOUGHT MUZZLES
 BUT IT DID NO GOOD
o.B. HOOD COMPLAINS TO MAYOR BECAUSE HIS DOG HAD BEEN IMPoUNDEp BUT HE HAD TO PAY UP.

G. B. Hood was not in q very agree able mood yesterday morning when he called at the Mayors office and asked that his dog be released from the pound.
 He brought with him all the evidence in the case. He has three muzzles in his right hand and receipted bill from Warren Bros. In his left. He made known to the Mayor that he had purchased muzzles. He testified that he had put the muzzle around the face of the dog He declared that some mischievous per- that the dog himself had broken into freedom
 In spite of this evidence, however, there was nothing for the man to do but pay his dog out of the pound. He was a most expressive individual and created much amusement for some time.
 The most interesting incident of the dog muzzle era, however, occurred in the afternoon when complaint was received that little dog, belonging to a man with an experimental turn of mind had created havoc for several days in the neighborhood of Avenue H and Twen- teth street. The complaints were so numerous that an investigation was or dered It was testified that whenever the little animal in the mask approached other dogs there was instantly a howl cry of distress and a hurried flight An officer investigated and found that pro- truding from the end of the muzzle, to which it was closely bound, was needle. This was the cause of the distress. No arrests were made but the needle was extracted.

 Statement.

"There will be no more referees under the present administration, said former Referee Joseph O. Thompson. who re- turned early yesterday morning from Washington.

This Is still a republican administration and 1t will continue to be for the next four years" he said. But 1t is fact that MT. Taft will not have any more referees in any part of the country.

Both Judge Jones and Judge Hundley sat on the bench for a few minutes while Judge Jones ordered the clerk to record Judge Hundley's oath of office, after which Juose Jones LOOK up the nearing or number of cases in chambers.

 With several playmates the boy had gone up on the mountain. They decided to climb a tall pine tree and Willie was the first and only one to make the at- tempt. The lowest limb was quite a dis tance from the ground, and the boy had just reached up to it when he lost his grip on the tree trunk with his legs and fell heavily to the ground, landing on his side.
 He was unable to rise and his playmates became frightened. One of them ran to a house nearby and told the people there of the accident The injured boy was re- moved to the house in a semi-conscious state and an ambulance summoned to take him home.
 The doctors would make no statement regarding his condition

FEAR SEWERS MAY
 BE LONG DELAYED
WORK CAN HARDLY BEGIN BE- GIN BEFORE JUNE AND SUM- MFR WILL BE OVER BEFORE IT IS COMPLETED.

Fear is expressed in municipal circles system will be delayed to such an extent that sickness will result during the sum mer months.
 It was learned yesterday that the ordi- nance adopted at the last meeting of the council, No. AS, cannot be confirmed at the next meeting of the council on account of the fact that that meeting will occur in less than two weeks from the date on which the ordinance was advertised. The ordinance at the present time Is being advertised.
 No. AS will be confirmed, then, at the first meeting of the council in April It is thought that 1t will be May before the contracts are awarded This date will be certain to arrive before the awarding of the contract, if the advertisement for bids is inserted in foreign territory.
 Work will probably be begun, however. in June and the summer will be well-nigh spent, 1t is feared, before the benefits of the new system can be felt even In part
 This sewerage system will be completed. 1t Is thought, at expenditure of near ly $S00,0OO 1t being one of the biggest undertakings ever assumed by the city.
 There were many expressions of inter- est yesterday morning when the contract between the city and the Birmingham Water Works company, signed by the Mayor, was advertised in The Age-Herald. By this contract, the water works com pany will construct a standpipe on the southside, and the water pressure will be such, it is stated, that the residences of that section will have the protection which the fire chief states they do not have at the present time. The people en- toying this high pressure will be placed on meter instead of a flat rate. If the city wins its pending suit against the company the flat rate will be restored.
