About Sixty Dealers in Soft Drinks and Other Lux
 uries Are Arrested
DEFENDANTS MAKE BOND AND CONTINUE BUSINESS
Arrests Are Made Only on Complaint of CitiHens-Fruit, Newspapers, Soda,vater and Shoe Shines
 Barred on Sunday

About 60 dealers in soft drinks, news papers, fruits, and other more or less luxurious commodities were placed under arrest yesterday on complaint that they were violating the Sunday laws.
 The raids included many of the lead ing drug stores and most of the dealers made bond and continued business.
 The arrests followed the demand of a committee of citizens which called on Mayor Exum and Chief of Police Bode- ker Saturday, asking that the Sunday laws be enforced.
 Chief Bodeker yesterday morning in- structed his men to make arrests wher- ever complaints were made. but to make none on their own intiative
 Everything but the bare neeessities of life were barred and offenders were placed under bond by the police and charged with violating the Sunday law.
 Just 40 arrests were made in the bus mess district during the day. Practically every drug store is represented by an
 
 made in Ensley and several in Woodlawn and North Birmingham. It is estimated that at least 60 cases were made in all.
 Wherever a drug store was found sell ing soft drinks and newspapers, an ar rest was made Wherever a bootblack was at work on shoes, wherever hack man was seen transporting passengers all were placed under bond. Even the Taxicab company was arrested.
 Chief Bodeker instructed the men to make no arrest on their own initiative but where a complaint was made and witnesses furnished to promptly place the offender under bond. The arrests began early in the morning and con- tinued without ceasing until nightfall.
 All of the cases were set for this morn- ing in the recorders court. The action of the police was a complete surprise to the drug stores, news stands, hack men and fruit stands.

 Train No ?, due here at 12:1O o'clock reached here on time, but was held in the shed until o'clock last night wait ing for the derailed cars to be moved from the main line. The train left here at o'clock and operated up to the scene Of the accident It remained there some time making it about eight hours late ia getting to Nashville.

 The accident occurred syesterday at noon and it was about 8 o'clock before traffic conditions were anything like nor nal on the main line.
 An official statement about the trouble was given out by Assistant Superintend- ent Morrison, who said:
 From our reports four cars were de- railed about noon near Cunningham. The trains are tied up, but everything will be clear at o'clock from present indi- cations We held No. ? here, having decided that it would be best to permit the passengers to remain in Birmingham ra ther than at the scene of the wreck. The afternoon mail and express train is several hours late, it having been caught by the derailment. From ad- vices we believe the accident was due to broken flange on one of the freight cars. However, we have no official veri- fcation of that theory at this time"

MAY DECIDE SEALS
 CASE THIS WEEK

A decision In the Seals-Y Yeilding contest for the office of police commissioner will be made by Circuit Judge A. o. Lane some time this week. The hearing of the B. Yielding vs. Carl H. Seals, was set for Saturday in Judge Lanes division of the circuit court. but the attorneys were not in readiness, and arguments were not made.
 It was agreed that briefs were to be filed by the attorneys in the case. and they will probably be given Judge Lane this week. Judge Lane stated that he will render a decision as soon as possible after the briefs are filed.
 The suit seeking to oust Major Seals from the position to which he was ap- pointed by Governor Conner was filed in the circuit court several weeks ago by Gaston X Pettus, attorneys for the plain- tiff Major Seals is being represented by Attorney E. D. Smith.
 In the bill filed it was alleged that since Seals was declared illegally elected, MT. Yielding, who received the next high est numDer or votes, IS ehliiieu lo tie long term as police commissioner. Gov ernor Conner appointed Seals to the posi- tion soon after he was declared illegally elected, but it is averred in the suit that the appointment was only for the short term and that MT Yielding should not have been busted from his position on the board at the end of the short term, but should have been allowed to finish the long term.
 Since the filing of the suit Governor Conner has reappointed Seals to the posi- ton, this time specifying the long term. It is thought that the latter appointment will have considerable bearing in the cnsa tn cnme m before Judge Lane.

WANTS ARMY
; CANTEEN AGAIN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Drop-
ping from the heights of tactical
maneuvers and the finer points OF
the war game, Major General Leon
ard Wood has submitted an extraor-
binary report dealing with the COM
monplaces Of the enlisted mans
comfort.
The report was written by Gen
eral Wood as the commander of the
department of the east, but was sub
united to the adjutant general, after
he became chief of staff and there
fore is taken as criticism by the
active head of the army.
Within the sphere of the enlisted
man, General Wood in this report
touches upon there points; the. SOL
dier's canteen or post saloon, his
uniform-particular his shoes
and the desirability of establishing
a general service corps of men en-
ployed to do all the non-military
work
The crisp and blunt recommends
ton Of General Wood that the army
canteen be re-established Is one
with which most every army officer
would agree, but not one probably
which all would incorporate in an
official report. General Wood bases
this suggestion upon the assertion
that the canteen is for the best in
terests of the ARMY.

Straight across the continent IN

Twelve Years of

For twelve years Eilers Music

years have been one long record of
splendid successes.
Naturally at the beginning we did
not handle an extensive line, only

Today we represent the largest

other western music house. We
have taken on many new ones and
from time to time have weeded out
those who fell from the straight
path of quality, but being the larg-
est and most popular house for the
past many years, we have had at
all times practically a choice Of the
worlds best makes.
We want you to know these
things in order that you will un-
derstand why Eilers Music House

his mother removed him. 1t was

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 24.-Have
you heard of the midnight ride of
Clifford Pinchot?" The fame OF
the exploit extends throughout the
forestry service of the United
States, but the singular fact of the
affair is that a subordinate, and
not Pinchot, took the ride. But as
it was Pinchot's. idea entirely, he
gets credit. Like the midnight
ride of Paul Revere of Revolution
airy days the ride was taken in the
interests of plain Americans as
against their oppressors.
Four hundred water power sites
scattered throughout the national
forests of the western states were
the prize. In place of the redcoat-
ed hosts of Britain were the agents
of the greedy power monopolists.
PinchOt won.

1t was during holiday week Of
1907. the year Of the snappy little
financial panic. From his strategic
position at Washington, Pinchot
learned that word had gone out to
the field agents of the power mon
opolists to start a spring campaign
to secure every available water
pawer site in the west. Action had
to be taken during the winter or
not at all. Pinchot recalled an old
law passed originally to enable the
secretary Of the interior to file on
sites for lighthouses along the
coasts regardless of the nature of
the sites. 1t had also been utilized
by the forest rangers who withdrew
the scattered acres on which to
raise horse feed and to erect cab
ms for their own use. They were
called administrative sites and once
