O'BRIEN ANNOYED
ANONYMOUS LETTERS TELL or LI-
 QUOR VIOLATION.
Birmingham Mayor Says That He Has Received No Less Than Fifty Communications In Refer
 enee to Dens.

Birmingham. June 22--(speciai)-- Mayor O'Brien is becoming somewhat disturbed owing to the frequency that anonymous letters are coming to his offiee complaining about violations ot the prohibition law. An anonvmus letter. stated the Mayor. is worse than no letter. and he desires to say that anonymous letters do no earthly good. He has received no less than fifty re- gently and he says he is getting tired of communications of this nature. Mayor O'Brien says if people know that violations of the prohibition law are being made. 1t is their duty to re- veal their identity and assist In the enforcement of the law instead of writing long letter and falling to sign 1t.
 Here is a sample of one of the let- ters which contains a deal of ugly charges. but which the writer tailed to sign:
 "Mayor o'Brien:
 Dear Sir-For the sake of peace, can't you put a stop to that whiskey den on Second Avenue between Four teenth and Fifteenth Streets as this stand is a shame to Birmingham. They sell all kinds of whiskey, gin and beer. Men go in and call for a bottle of whiskey and they hand 1t out just the same as If they were paying II. cense. They are very bold What they sell makes the men crazy and causes lots of trouble In the homes of those that drink Please for homes sake break 1t up, it is worse than highway robbery.
 "They get the men In and sell them the dope and get all of their money and then let them go home for the ones al home to catch the cussing and to contend with purgatory itseif--it could not be any worse. They threaten 10 kill any one at home they are 90 crazy. You need not put a police on 1t for he is on to 1t himself and hear that all of these soft drink stands say they are not afraid of the police on their beat for he takes the drink him. self. An officer that can't keep that place from selling whiskey is not worth his room on the str~et."

The Hillman company will have two
Eighteenth and Douglas streets. The com
pany is now complete for the winter tour
on the road and the new members are
working hard to catch up in study; the
last week the company will endeavor to
play a new bill every night. This week,
commencing tonight, the company will be
seen in a comedy drama, entitled, 9TH
Maid of the Mill" The scenes are laid
in Pennsylvania and, while the play is
more of a comedy than a drama, it con
tains a very pretty heart story and
abounds in thrilling climaxes and dramatic
situations. Hiram Flint is determined to
unite all large steel plants into one big
consolidation, but Peter Sterling refuses to
go into the scheme, as it would bring ruin
to over two-thirds of his employees. At a
very critical time Flint causes Sterling's
arrest for counterfeiting by placing some
plates used in his laboratory. This is done
in hopes that during the Investigation
which would necessarily follow the Ster-
ling mills would have to be closed and
Peter Sterling would lose the government
contract for steel. Flint's plans are frus-
trated by Sue Sterling, who obtains a
promise from the men to return to work
under her management until her father
should return a free man. The comedy is
furnished by Simonides, a colored servant.
and Michael Malone, who can do most any
kind of work, but not too much.

the game. In fact Grand Junction
