HIGH SCHOOL TO
PLAY WEDNESDAY

Due to unavoidable circumstances tho
football game scheduled to take nlaca
this afternoon between the team of the
Tuscaloosa High school and the Ioca1
High school squad has been postponed
Coach Guerdon N. Messer has worked
faithfully with the material at hand and
believes that in the end he will have
produced fast aggregation.
The team is lacking much in weight
but it is believed that this will be more
than made up in speed. 1t is certain
that the team will be able to tackle sue
cessfully any team at all near its weight.
The first game of the season will be
played at West End park Wednesday aft
ernoon, when the university High school
bunch will be met. From all indications
this victory for the Birmingham High
school team in this scrimmage will be an
easy one.
The full line-up Of the local High school
squad win be announced next week.

think it Objectionable for machines to
run 10 or 20 miles on hour on clear roads,
but they should be slowed down when
wagons or pedestrians are passed. AS 1t

to break worlds records and it is this
matter which 1 do not intend to tolerate

deputies out on the highways to time the
automobilists and every one caught run

WHISKY IS SEIZED
IN FREIGHT HOUSE
MaIIon of Illinois Central Cited
for Contempt
CLEARED Of The CHARGE
Judge Weaver Orders Deputies to
Amend Warrant, After Which
Eighteen Cases of Whisky Are
Taken in Charge.
CLEARED OF The CHARGE

Under the search and seizure section of
the Fuller bill IS cases of whisky were
taken from the freight house of the H.
1inois Central railroad yesterday and
confscated by the sheriff. The liquor was
secured, however only after John B.
Mallon, the railroad freight agent, had
been cited for contempt of court and af-
ter the matter had been taken before
Judge Weaver of the criminal court and
threshed out there.
The affair yesterday grew out of a
search of the Illinois Central freight de-
pot on September 20. Under a search
warrant sworn out by deputy sheriffs
the premises at 1861 First avenue were
searched and number of bills of lad
ing for whisky supposed to be In the
freight house, were taken.
It seems that the way bills called for IS
cases of whisky which had not arrived
and Thursday when Chief Deputy Lucien
Brown went to the freight depot to get
the whisky, which had arrived in the
meantime, the freight agent declined to
deliver 1t until the way bills were coun-
tersigned by the consignees of the whisky.
Deputy Brown cited Mr. Mallon for con-
tempt, and took the matter up anew yes
terday morning.
Mr. Mallon appeared before Judge
Weaver yesterday morning and was
clear Of the contempt charge. However,
Judge Weaver permitted the deputies to
amend the search warrant to include the
freight depot and this being done the
deputies went to the freight depot and Sc
cured the 10 cases of whisky in ques-
ton.
