ADJUSTMENTS.
Mrs. Leslie Carter Seat Sale.

The advance sale of seats for the en- gagement Monday night of Mrs. Leslie Carter at the Jefferson theatre in her new play, "vasta Herne,'' will open at the box office at o'clock this morning. Manager R. s. Douglas shas received so many inquiries about this engagement that he requests the announcement that the first person in line this morning will have the pick of the house. It is one of his rules to show no favoritism when it comes to reservations, and there will positively be a limit to the number of seats sold each person. In this way Man ager Douglas hopes to prevent specula- tion. Mrs. Carter will be seen in a play that has been called somewhat differ ent'' by the critics who have commented on it. It deals with woman whose mind is made brilliant by the use of drugs and her struggle to overcome the evil. The supporting company is said to be first class in every respect, and no expense has been spared in staging the production. The book is by Edward Peple, best known as the author of 'The Prince Chap"

NINE MONTHS
 OR ONE YEAR?

Were the heads of the various depart ments elected at the last meeting of the City Councel elected for nine months or a year?
 This is a question which is causing these heads to look at each other in askance. In the past they have been elected to serve from the first of one year to the first of the next. At the recent meeting of the Board of Alder men they were elected to serve from Jan uary l, 1910. to January 1, 1911.
 Clause T of section 78 of the municipal code, however, according to some will make these terms only run from the first of the year to October 1, at which time Mayor O'Brien's term will expire. Mayor OBrien Is only serving a IT, months' term brought about by the new code, which rules that the next mayor must take office on October 1. 1910. his clause reads that their terms shall not ''extend beyond the term of the mayor. "
 Mayor OBrien made the discovery re- garding the heads of departments in reading the code and he expresses the opinion that it makes their terms cease with his The three code officers terms city attorney, treasurer and city clerk s terms-have been running all along from October l to October 1.

O'BRIEN WOULD LET SUBURBS NAME MEN
HOPES COUNCIL WILL DECIDE ON THIS PLAN OF CHOOSING ADDl- TloNAL ALDERMEN FOR GREAT FER BIRMINGHAM.

Relative to the action of the Board of Aldermen at the last meeting in turning down resolution inviting the towns to be absorbed by Greater Birmingham to elect in primary their aldermanic rep fesentatives Mayor Frank r. O'Brien thinks it but right that the suburbs should be allowed to express q choice.
 Along these lines the Mayor said yes terday afternoon: While the impression outlying towns might attempt to get con trol of the Board of Aldermen and disrunt things generally to Birminghams dam age, I don't believe such would he the case. l think it but fair that these peo- pie should be allowed to choose their rep | resentatives. I believe the people Of Greater Birmingham have too much pride and public spirit in the future of the Magic City to allow such thing and I sincerely trust that the Board of Alder men will finally consent to the primary idea
 Quite an amount of talk was created by the action of the board, many ex- pressing themselves as thinking the board had not acted justly toward the suburbs while many took the opposite view. Bare ly four weeks intervene between now and the time Greater Birmingham becomes effective, though it is hanging in the balance awaiting the decision of the su- preme court next Monday. and the ult- mate outcome of the election of the new aldermen promises to be interesting.

MORE TROUBLE IN
 CODE PROVISION
ONE SECTION SAYS THERE SHALL BE THIRTY ALDERMEN AND AM OTHER SAYS THERE SHALL BE FORTY.

whether Greater Birmingham shall have 30 or 40 aldermen is a problem which will have to be thrashed out as the re- suit of the way in which the present leg islature handled matters.
 Section 1154 of the municipal code in providing for Wards and aldermen of merged municipalities" states that there shall be mot more than 30 aldermen,' ' while section IS allows for 20 wards with two aldermen from each ward for cities with population greater than 50,0oo.
 If the Board of Aldermen is allowed to choose between these two rulings it will undoubtedly take the limit of 40, as with only 90 aldermen confusion will there are p aldermen from Il wards. The territory to be annexed is great, both in area and population, and with only 30 al- dermen it would very surely result in the rearranging of the present ward boun- daries in Birmingham.
 Contentious are being made on each side of the proposition and. some main taining that section 1154 will have to be the one, while other insist just as strong ly that section 16 is the one which will prevail.
 With only eight aldermen for the outly- ing territory there promises to be trou- ble ahead and the city fathers will have to pull their hair in solving it.

 age at Five Points, was severely burned
 about the legs last night when he att tempted to dry gasoline out of his clothes. The accident happened about 10:SO o'clock. Beasley has been working at

 went into the office and approached the stove, saying that he had spilled water on i his legs and they were cold. He wanted to dry them. The instant he approached
 the fire his clothing burst into flames. He ran into the street and after being dragged about by the crowd like sack | the fire was finally extinguished by an l overcoat being thrown over him.
 I Two physicians were called and the mans burns were dressed right away. He
 was taken to the Hllman hospital in Lige 1 Loy's ambulance. After a thorough ex-
 animation of his burns it was stated at I the hospital that the wounds were not

EARLY'S TROUBLES
 GROWING DAILY

Washington, December 9-Troubles seem to pile up ahead of John R. Early, ''the leper," as fast as his counsel can break them down. Early expected to leave Washington today a free man to go to the Rockefeller Institute for Med ical Research in New York for examin- ation. Surgeon General Wyman of the public health and marine hospital ser vice gave a permit for Earlys transpor- tation. with the health authorities Of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey through which he will have to pass. concurring.
 When the railroad companies were ap- preached a new objection bobbed up in the rates they intend to charge for Early's transportation. The Pennsyl- vania railroad decided to furnish bag gage car to Early for si13. which is the sum of 25 single fares from Washington to New York The railroad claims that this is the regular rate for a special car and the law prohibits Earlys transpor- tation in any other way.
 Today Early drew all his back pen sion, $196.S0 which is all the money he has in the world, he says, and he does not want to pay nearly all of it to get to New York. Earlys counsel then turned to the Baltimore and Ohio and negotiations with that company are now in progress.
 Meantime Early is quarantined on tho government reservation in the little brick house he occupied during his long in- sarceration last year.
