BUSH AGAIN CONDEDINS
 JAIL IN STRONG TERMS

pr. c. F. Bush, state inspector of prisons and cotton mills, was in Birming- ham yesterday and he again called on the Board of Revenue and inspected the coun- ty jail. Dr. Bush was in the city only few hours.
 The inspector was very positive with the Board of Revenue yesterday. He stated that the county jail was in an un- inhabitable condition and insisted that certain improvements in the sewerage and sanitary arrangement of the jail be made at an early date.
 The members of the board called to Dr. Bush's attention the fact that the bond election to decide the matter of whether or not the county shall erect new jail

News comes from Washington, which has been confirmed by Senators Johnston and Bankhea that President meyer of Birmingham to the Senate to be consul at Charlottetown, Prince Ed ward Islaf4l.
 By executive order of June 27 1906, no person can enter the consular ser vice without having first passed an ex-' animation. These examinations are held periodically at Washington. The applicant for the examination must be designated thereto by the President. MT. Deedmeyef was designated for this examination by President Roosevelt on the- recommendations of Senators Johnston and Bankhead, Joseph O. Tn ompson and Judge A. A. Coleman. The written examination includes French German or Spanish; the natural, industrial and commercial re- sources and the commerce of the United States; political economy, information al, commercial and maritime law; Amer ican history, government and institu tions; political and commercial geog- raphy; arithmetic; the modern his tory, since 1850, of Europe, Latin America and the far east. MT. Deed meyer took this examination in the month of April, 1908, and passed with high average, standing eighth in a class of over 3O most of whom were college professors.
 Alabama has now no representative in the consular service except the pres ent appointee. MT. Deedmeyer has made a special study of the resources of the south and is therefore peculiar ly qualified to serve the people of this section of the country. Charlottetown is the seat of government of Prince Edward Island. The American con ical force and it supervises the eon- sulates at Sours and Summerside
 Frank Deedmeyer was born in Bad en, Germany, in 1863, where he re- ceived the most careful training in sch ools and through private tutors. When he arrived in the United States at the age of 16 years he had well grounded knowledge of Latin, Creek, French, English Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. He has since mastered ether languages. This qualities him well for the consular service. He completed his education in Connecti- cut and then entered upon the study of the law. After having been admitted to the bar he located at Williamsport. Pa., from which place he came south

is to be held on June 19 and suggested that the improvements recommended be postponed until after the election, inas- much as these Improvements will repre- sent an outlay of not less than 5000. Dr. Bush favored this request.
 In the meantime, however,. improve ments are being made at the jail The sanitation of the jail is very bad and even if the bond election carries it will be necessary to use the present jail through the present summer If the elec- tion carries such Improvements as are absolutely necessary will be made to make the jail habitable. If the issue is defeated Dr. Bush's recommendations will be carried out to the letter and the en- tire sewerage system will be overhauled

TO IMPROVE JAIL.
Conditions In City Building Are Found
 to Be Bad.

Recommendations will be made to the council at its next meeting by Alderman Coffee Jackson, of the public buildings committee, Alderman A. A. Gambill, of the police and sanitation committee, and City Physician Watts, looking to the es- tablishing of a system of ventilation in the city Jail.
 The inadequacy of the city jail to &C., commodate all of the prisoners at times, rendering 1t necessary for many of the prisoners to sleep on the floor of the corridors outside of the cells, has over taxed the ventilating facilities and condi- tions are bad The recommendations will be that the jail be thoroughly cleaned and painted inside and that special ventlat- ing system be installed. It is believed they will be adopted by the council.

BOYD IS AGAINSZ FEES:
 "A TORS GREAIER CI72

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 Replying to your editorial this morning inviting all candidates for the legislature to express themselves on the fee system, l wish to say that I am unqualifiedly opposed to the fee system and if elected will be glad to assist in preparing and passing a bill to remedy this evil.
 And now, just a few words in regard to Greater Birmingham. The Chamber of Commerce has unanimously indorsed a bill including Ensley. The Ensley Board of Trade has likewise indorsed this bill and I was nominated and am run ming solely on this issue.
 Just before the last census was taken Atlanta and Nashville were positively claiming 125,O0o to 15O,OOO people, but the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-01

census showed both with less than 90,0OO and Ensley is surely needed to land us in the 100000 class. If anyone has any doubt that Greater Birmingham will pro- mote the welfare of Ensley let him read the set of resolutions, giving our req sons for the faith that is in us, which were unanimously adopted last week by the Enstey Board of Trade.
 Since l have been nominated and am running squarely on the one issue of Greater Birmingham, with Ensley includ- ed. there will be no need of any refer endum vote on the King bill if I am elected, as I take 1t that every vote for me will be a vote for Greater Birming- ham with Ensley and the 100000 Yours very truly, ROMAINE BOYD.
