What is probably the most unique or
der ever issued by any railroad commits
sion is the one issued last Friday by
the Georgia railroad commission to the
Southern railway to the effect that ne
gro women be provided with footstools
in alghting from or boarding trains.
The order issued detailed the fact that
complaints had been made to the COM
mission that discrimination Is being
shown between white and negro women
in that the negro women passengers are
not provided with stools when alighting
from trains"
Upon receipt of the order J. Fl. stan
field, superintendent of the Southern rail-
way, issued an order which Enclosed a
copy of the commissions order, to the
effect that hereafter no discrimination,
IL any has existed, shall be shown.
In this city no foot-stoos are used in
alighting from trains either by white
or negro women. However, at the smaller
centers 1t is true terminal facilities. are
not so happily provided.
1t is understood that the order was
issued at the instance of some citizens

FIGHT ABOUT
CHURCH FUNDS
Negro Pastor and Deacon Both Have
to De Locked Up Because
of the Trouble

E. P. Mayo, colored, pastor of the Zion
African Methodist Episcopal church, was
lodged in the county joil last night in
company with one of his deacons, o. w.
Adams, because the two had assayed to
settle a little difficulty by means of their
respective fists.
Mayo. weight $50 pounds, was SO busy
pummeling the head of Deacon Adams
when Deputy Sheriff yaught walked in
on them that 1t was necessary for the
deputy to attract Mayo's attention by
hitting him over the head with the butt
end of his "A calibre Colts. Hence the
bloody countenance and tottering foot
steps of Mayo when he was presented at
the county Jail last night for imprison-
ment.
The story of the difficulty is that
Deacon Adams charged Mayo with OPEN
ly and boldly appropriating some of the
church funds for his private use. Mayo
was very much chagrined by the charge
and proceeded to show it by knocking
Deacon Adams down and landing on him
with his $50 pounds of righteousness.
1t was it this juncture that Deputy
Vaught interceded and now both parties
are behind the bars. Mayo charged with
assault with intent to murder and Dea-
con Adams with ARRAY

SINGERS FINISH
THEIR CONVENTION
SACRED HARP AUDIENCE ALMOST
FILLED THE soUTHsIDE SKATING
RINK YESTERDAY-A JEFFERSON
COUNTY MAN is PRESIDENT

A largely increased attendance was on
hand yesterday at the southside skating
rink for the third and last days session
of the Alabama Sacred Harp Singers,
who have been holding their first annual
convention in Birmingham When the
first period of singing began at O'Clock
yesterday morning, many were present
from various parts OF the state who were
unable to attend the convention earlier,
and the spacious rink was almost filled.
Singing was in progress all day yester-
day until 4:30 O'Clock, when the conven-
ton took formal, or rather informal, ad-
journment, for simplicity is the keynote
of all the Sacred Harpers' services. At
ter the opening singing periods of one
hour were followed by intermissions for
rest and longer intermission for
luncheon was taken at noon.
The harp singers who attended the con-
vention expressed themselves much
pleased with the services, though it was
generally regretted that more delegates
could not be on hand.
the singers was not decided yesterday,
but will probably be placed by w. R.
Davis, president of the Jefferson County
Sacred Harp Singers association, who
was also elected president of the state
association Saturday.

PUT ON ANOTHER CAR
Birmingham Special VIII Attach an Ex-
ira Pullman In Atlanta

On account of the increased travel east
on the Birmingham Special. the Southern
railway has announced that within few
days a new Pullman car will be provided
for the Atlanta patrons. thus allowing
birmingham people to have one solid car
on this train.
The division Of Pullman car space be-
tween Atlanta and Birmingham has In
the past frequently robbed local people of
desirable accommodations, and 1t Is to
avoid this that the new improvements will
he made. The car will be attached to the
train in Atlanta, and in returning will be
detached from the train In that city.
The car will be the latest design of
pullman cars and will be Of solid steel. 1t
is calculated to operate this car into New
York along with the regular cars over
the Pennsylvania railroad, all of which
must be of solid steel.
"The new Improvement in our service
will be made within a few days. said
M. H. Bone of the Southern yesterday.
1.-THE patronage has increased to such
an extent and we appreciate the Bir-
mingham business given us SO much that
we are not inclined to take any chances
in discommoding the Birmingham people.
The necessity is great enough to warrant
another car, and we have decided to
place 1t as soon as possible"

LAW ENFORCEMENT IS
INTERESTING THEME

THE thing that has interested me
most during the day was an article in
the Saturday Evening Post from the pen
of Brand Whitlocl. the mayor of Toledo,
Ohio,' said H. A. Wallace yesterday at
ternoon. 1.-THE caption of the article is
Enforcing the Law in Cities and 1t fits
present conditions In Alabama as If
written around them. Although the IL
quor law Is not mentioned the application
is perfectly plain.
"Mr. Whitlock points out the differ
ence between a law and statute. The
mere writing of law in the code books
of the state does not make 1t law. 1t
Is necessary to have the majority of
the people behind the law to make it
a law In truth Until this is true the
law will never be enforced The article
in my opinion is mastery and should be
read by every thinking man in the
state"

DEAF MUTES SHOW
GREAT INTELLIGENCE E

"An incident that interested me to-
day." said DIR. B. F. Riley, was a party
of deaf mutes that rode in the car with
me coming from Ensley.
There were six or seven in the party,
and totally oblivious of the rest of the
people on the car, they kept up splr-
tied conversation by means of signs and
gestures among themselves.
81 was much impressed by the inteili-
gence depicted on their expressive
countenances and by their fine personal
appearance, the young ladies being es-
pecially attractive.
1T was wonderful to watch the
graceful gestures and nimble fingers as
they gave expression to their tn Dug hts,
and the quick recognition of their
meaning as told by their smiling faces.
Judging from what l saw, the loss
of their faculties WAS in a measure
compensated by keen intelligence and
a quick perception, and my feelings
were not of pity but of admiration for
the whole party"

GRAY IN FAVOR OF
ROAD BONDS ISSUE
Says Both the Merchants and
Farmers Want It
TALK WILL BE USELESS
Thinks Everybody Is Agreed Upon the
Necessity for Better Highways
and the Thing to Do Is to Go
Ahead and Build Them

Along with a host of prominent citizens
of Birmingham and Jefferson county
Lieut.. Gov. Henry B. Gray, who
is to be acting governor next month,
announces his approval of bond Issue
of 100000 with which to build better
roads In the county.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Governor Gray said he has been in
favor of good roads for many years and
believes no one agency does more to
promote a better feeling among the
farmers and business men than the
bctterment of the roads.
My views upon the question of good
roads or better roads are pretty well
known to my friends" said Governor
Gray yesterday. But I am glad to add
my approval of the plan to issue bonds
for 81, 100000 with which to construct good
roads 1t is useless continually to preach
upon the merits of better highways. We
should simply all get together, issue the
bonds, construct the better highways and
then maintain them.
Il am very much opposed to the meth
VI VI temporary ltpdho NhaA iioS bcOh
in vogue for many years here. AS l
see 1t this character of road building is
simply of temporary nature and soon
spends itself. We should have sufficient
funds to construct read highways which
will wear like some of the old roads in
this state. We should also have a ebert
inspector and engineer to watch after the
materials used in the work so we will be
positive that only the best the used. The
roads should be scientifically constructed
and then intelligently maintained
1T is said that equipment Is half tho
fight in any battle. That goes in life and
every undertaking. If the work is done
properly then half the fight is attained.
The other half lies in the proper MAIN
tenace of the road after construction.
THE farmers needs the roads, con-
tinued Mr. Gray. 1.-THE city merchants
need them and 1 believe there is no
question about the wisdom of a policy
upon which the two vital forces of our
community are SO happily united"

Grace OsHara appeared to be last night
only Grace isn't boy. She don't want
to be a boy and she won't be a boy,
either, she says. With all her little
brown baby curls closely cropped, wear
irg a cap and knickerbacker suit, little
Grace and her mother came up to police
headquarters last night and told their
story to the police
Mrs. O'Hara said: II took the child
rem, boy and girl, when my husband
and l separated few months ago. l
went to work to support my babies and
was getting along all right when a few
days ago my husband. Owen O'Hara,
came and took both the children from
me.
HE does not like girls so he had
Grace's hair cut off short and dressed
her up in boys clothes. He told her
that If she wanted to live with him she
would have to be a boy, thinking that
that would shame her and she would not
run away to me. But Grace broke away
this morning and dressed In her boys
clothes she came to where l live. did
not know her at first, but when 1 real
ICED what had been done l was very
angry.
AS her mother told of how Grace had
been dressed in boys clothes the littlo
girl glanced shyly from one detective to
another as they sat around listening to
the story. She had no place to sleep
last night so she stayed all night in
Chief Bodeker's office. sleeping in the
big office chair.
AS soon as Judge Feagin can be COM
municated with the police will attempt
to do something with the girls father for
his actions.

GAMES IN ATHENS

Athens, July 17.-(Specia1. )--Athens
has enjoyed three of the most interest
ing and enjoyable ball games ever play

ems and Alabama City, one of the best
amateur teams in the south. The first
game Thursday afternoon was taken by
Athens, a score of 5 to 8. Friday after

game ever played here. Neither side
made a score until the first half of the
eighth inning, when Alabama City by
an error made a score. In the last half
of the ninth Athens, by three-bagger
by Massey, was able to score. In the
last half of the tenth Athens scored
again, breaking the tie. Saturday aft
ernoon the game was witnessed by a
large audience and resulted in a vic
