Worms to the Good.

When the National Biscuit Bakers as- socation met in annual convention at Atlantic City last summer, Dr. Wiley, head of the pure food commission, came on from Washington to address one of the principal sessions. His attitude to- ward violators of the food laws was well known to the delegates, who however. pressed him with questions as to the quality of goods that could legality be of- ferred for sale to the public. The com missioner parried the thrusts of the bis cult bakers with his ready wit.
 The discussion ran into syale cakes and biscuits In the south. 1t was stated, 1t is practically impossible to keep bakery products for any length of time free from weevils, and such stuff is disposed of by selling it to the negroes at cheap prices. Was that right? Dr. Wiley was in a auandary. The commission could not in- terfere when the goods were not shipped from one state to another, and to express his own views on the matter might get him Into a needless tangle. He thought rapidly; he would be diplomatic.
 Honestly, now doctor. did you ever seen anything good with worms in it?'' urged one of the delegates from the north.
 Yes" was the quick reply. "a fishing box"

LAWS vExATIoUs DELAYS.
Tho Entire Country Agrees With Crit
 IcIsm Made by Justice Brewer.

From the New York Press.
 When Justice Brewer sticks to his old text of the laws delays he will not in vite such attacks as Senator Browns As a member of the tribunal which may be yitally concerned with the construction of income tax laws the able justice can afford to leave the question of legisla' ton on this subject to Congress and the people of the states. Nothing Is gained by his intrusion upon the debate, whether he is right or wrong in his views.
 We are glad, for this reason no less than for the sake of the cause of re- form in our Judicial procedure, that in his interview at Milwaukee, Justice Brew CT returned to his mutton and condemned as outrageous the reversals of judgments on technicalities when substantial justice has been done. All the country agrees with him, too that the farce of pro- longing tho simple process of picking o jury to many weeks is one of which an end ought to be made. Fortunately the President in his time on the bench has seen and felt the evils of this Kind, and may be counted on to procure from Con- gress some action which will set the states gQod example.
 At the Same time that Justice Brewer was denouncing the delays of the law in the United States, the lord chief justice of England sitting in Old Bailey, was showing us how much better the English deal with their criminals. The trial, conviction, and Sentence to death of Dhingra, assassin of Lieutenant Colonel Wylie, consumed altogether just one hour. In this country 1t is doubt ful if the jury would have been im- paneled inside of a week. The trial would go on for a month or two. and if the culprit went to the death chair in two or three years it would be because he lacked money to employ counsel skilled in the hairsplitting that brings our system into contempt.

 A man who has read the list through mot the books-declares that the Bible is missing; that Shakespeare hasn't even a look in; that there is no Don Quixote, no Robinson Crusoe, no Dickens, no Thackeray, in fact no fun at all-only culture.

MORE IMPROVEMENTS AT BESSEMER MILL Other Development Work
 Under Way In City WOODWARD TOO STRONG Defeats Bessemer Team by Score of to 2-News of pr. RagsdaIe's
 Serious Illness Causes
 Much Uneasness.

Bessemer, July s1.-(special.)- )-The work of the corps of Tennessee engineers at the rolling mill here last Thursday has given rise to the rumor of extensive im- proyements to be made at the mill, includ- ing the removal of the pudding and muck mill, which involves the removal of 24 single pudding furnaces, with capacity of about go tons per day. The removal of these departments will add good space to the already large mill, which is about 560 by 100 feet.
 There are also in operation in connection with the rolling mill, sheet, plate, bar and guide mills. These will not be af- fected by the removal of the pudding mill, which has not been in operation for some time past. The rolling mill has been running at full capacity for two months and the company has orders enough to run the mill for the remainder of the year.
 Another rumor current in industrial cir cles in connection with the Tennessee company is that they will erect struc- tural steel department in the district. It is also said that the department will be stationed at Bessemer. The work of repairing No furnace at Robertstown Is being rushed and it is thought that the furnace will be ready for operation in the near future.
 The statement that the Atlanta, Bir- mingham and Atlantic would go over Nineteenth street on a viaduct is being denied by engineers of the company. The contract for filling in the raise to the vladuct over the Alabama Great South ern and for the completion of the cut through Feeders Gap has been let The work will be rushed to completion and neither money nor men will be spared to have the work finished as soon as pos sible. 1Ae work through the city will probably be started during the second week in August.
 The new postoffice is practically com pleted and it is expected that Postmas- ter Lewis will move his quarters the first of next week. As soon as this is done the Birmingham Railway, Light and

BLACK HAND CASE FAILS

Ensley. July 3l.-(speeial.) -Ensley is full of speculation as to her fate in the fight to include the city in the Great CT Birmingham bill. Discussion of this topic will no debut overshadow by far anything else Sunday even the pink tea and baseball. The people are deeply in- terested for the reason that there are many vital issues it stake. There is hard fight on at home and neither side is leaving q stone unturned to win.

M. Perkins and M. H. McDon ald who have led the fight so far. It is understood that Sidney J. Bowie will be the spokes- man for the local advocates of Greater Birmingham. They have formed a great combination and have done telling work in the slxirmishes this week. There are many people in Ensley who believe that 1t is to the advantage of the citizenship to join with Birmingham and they have conducted a strong fight toward this end.

Bessemer Defeated.

Askew was too much for Bessemer this afternoon and Woodward defeated Bes- semer by the score of to 2 The game was an exceedingly fast one and up to the fifth inning not ball was hit to the outfield by the Woodward team. Besse- mer's first run came in the fifth. when Craig beat out bunt to the in1eld. John son was safe on a bunt to the pitcher, fumbled by Askew at first, Craig going to third. Fancher scored Craig on the squeeze play. In the same inning Wood- ward made all of her runs. H. Askew, first up, was hit by the pitcher and three hits and an error scored four runs.
 Bessemer scored again In the seventh when Craig was safe on an error by the shortstop went to second on Johnson's hit and scored when Fancher's hit struck Johnson between first and second bases.
 The crowd out to witness the game was the largest ever seen on the Wood- ward diamond. It was estimated that fully 150o people were present. Esdale, the umpire, who the fans claim gave them such an awful deal in the Y. M. O. A. game, officiated and gave general satis- faction. The fans regretted the loss of the game, but have no kick coming as they say Woodward won clean. The score by innings: R.H.E. Bessemer ................0 900 010 100-2 2 Woodward ,........0O 900 04o 00"-4 4 8
 Batteries: Fancher and Trotter, Askew and Farrow.
 Summary: Struck out, Fancher 4, As kew B. Bases on balls, Fancher 1. Hit by pitcher Fancher (Askew). Sacrifice hit, Fanoher.
 The loss of today's game again ties Bessemer with Grasseli for the lead, as Grasselli did not play on account of tho death of the Y. M. c. A. third baseman. However, Bessemer plays the Brming- ham Athletic club two games on the local grounds next Saturday and will probably take them both. This will again put her in the lead.

Black Hand Case Dismissed.

The cases against Serbin krutsoff and Nolia Nosoff, two Macedonians charged with sending a Black Hand letter, was dismissed in the police court for lack of binding evidence. There were so many complications connected with the case that the authorities were unable to place the charge on anyone. It Is believed that there are several Bulgarians connected with the sending of the letter to J. Nf- deriko It is said that a friend of Nidefiko told the authorities that he knew who placed the letter on Nideriko's front porch but was afraid to tell who it was under fear of immediate death at the hands of the Black Hand gang.
 That a strong Black Hand organization exists the police are certain. This Is the third move made by the gang in the last year, but so far the police have been unable to convict anyone, for the reason that the accuser will not testify against the accused when put on the witness stand. Chief Jordan, 1t is said, is de- termined to unearth the dongs of this gang and run them out of Ensley.
