MRS. EARLE'S PARTYs
 FOR DCHILDREN

| A pretty hospitality of yesterday afternoon was Mrs. P. H. Earle's en-
 tertainment of company of children
 in compliment to her two granddaugh-
 ters, little Mary Collett Earle and Mary
 Allen Northington. There Is no set
 in Birmingham perhaps that enjoys life
 to the extent of these tiny daughters
 and sons of society people, and party
 Lis the very summun bonum of their
 existence. The little lads and lasses
 who go proudly forth in all the bravery
 of white Russian blouses, white socks, stick-out skirts and enormous bows of
 hair ribbon, are different indeed from | the forlorn little crew that returns
 home late in the afternoon limp as to
 skirts and blouses missing, maybe as
 to pink and blue bows and with faces and hands too sticky with candies to
 kiss, but they are always radiant after
 these festive occasions and untidy CO.'S
 tune Is forgiven for the reason summed up by a proud Swear a few days ago when he said: But I've been to a birthday cake! Games and good
 things made Mrs. Earle's party yes- terday one of the very loveliest of the
 summer and the little boys and girls whom she asked to come were Mary Collett Earle, Mary Allen Northing- | ton, Madeline Jacobs, Marguerite | Wilkinson, Rosa Wilson, Harriet Smith, Jimmie Terrell, Lucille Smith, Catherine Marbury, Florence Jordan, Florence Young, Amy Young, Mabel Plosser, Elizabeth Smith, Elizabeth | Parker, Katherine Massey, Mary Eliz- abeth Fowlkes, Janie Barrett, Gustrine Milner, Nora Grace Carter Anna Me | Lester, Bowron McLester, John Le- Vert, William Fort, Edward Wilkinson, Jr., Everard Meade, Jr Joseph Meade, Hardee Johnston, Jr Lewis

 the influence of friends who were fa- miliar with his pet ambition.
 Augusta being an old settled town hc soon discovered that his progress new town offered the greater op- portunty for rapid advancement.
 This was in 1886. The name of Brming- ham was ringing from one end of the country to the other. It was at the height of its first glory. It was booming. It was swift enough to be bad Indeed, 1t had received the name of Bad Birming- ham,"
 This seemed to offer a fine field for adventure and exceptional opportunities for the young man who wanted to make a reputation as criminal chaser So George Bodeler came to Birmingham. He found it bad and decided to stay. | His first engagement was as a mule driver on the city street cars. The sys- tenn was very small at that time and he was used on all the lines at the conven- fence of the operators His pay was 10 cents the hour. When the East Lake dummy line was completed he was pro- noted to conductor on that line and was one of the first men to operate cars to | East Lake.
 | Offered higher wages he went with the Southern railway in the car repair de- partment. He was employed by several of the roads then coming into Birming- ham, changing positions only when of- | fered more money
 | But all this time he was watching for an opportunity to get on the police force. He had his friends watching also. He had gained the warm friendship of John Dean, one of the city aldermen, and one day Dean called for Bodeker informing | him that there was a vacancy on the force, which was small at that time, and that he thought he could land the place. | Bodekers application was placed be- | fore B. A. Thompson, who was then mayor of Birmingham, and he was ap- | pointed as patrolman. He served as city detective at various times and distin- guished himself for thoroughness of method and courage. More than once he has been complmented by the grand turies of Jefferson county for the sys- tematic manner in which he prepares and presents his cases. MT. Bodeker recalls with special pride the compliments pair him by Gov. B. B. Conner while foreman of the grand jury a few years ago.
 MT. Bodeker worked overtime and while 10th of nt Tell off trying to prepare himself as the most successful officer on the force He kept careful memoranda of all criminals who were reported at headquarters and was

BALLINCER DID
NOT SHIRK DUTY
Gets One Vindication at the Hands
Of Supreme Court of D. c.
Today
CHARGE TAKEN FROM RECORD
Claim That BaIIinger Did Not Do Full
Duty in Connection With SiIetz
Indian Reservation Cases is
Not Upheld.

Washington, May 3.-Secretary Bal
linger received what might be called
one vindication in the supreme court
of the District of Columbia today when
the charge that he had shrked his du-
ty as secretary of the interior was or
dered expunged from the record.
In the Injunction proceedings i'm con-
nection with homestead claims on the
Siletz Indian reservation in Oregon il
was alleged that because Ballinger as
a lawyer had been counsel for some of
the claimants. he refused to pass upon
the cases when he came into office.
and delegated the work TO his first as
sistant, Frank Pierce, and had there
fore refused to give the benefit of his
judgment and had therefore shirked
his duty.
Ballinger denied the imputation, de-
claring the cases had been referred to
Pierce in the regular course of business
as the latter had direct charge of the
general land office affairs, and the
court struck out the charge.

NOTED AUTHORITY TALKS ON
The CAUSES OF CONSUMPTION
Impure Milk or Foods Not Great
Cause Of Spread of Disease
Says DR.. Park
is CONTRACTED FROM HUMANS

Washington, May 3:-Only two and
one-half per cent of all tuberculosis
in New York City comes from infect
ed milk, butter or meat from bovine
sources, according to the statement
made by DR.. William III. Park of that
city today before the Pathological
Section of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis. Moreover. said DR.. Park,
this small percentage is found mainly
in children. In other words pulmon-
airy tuberculosis among adults is con-
tracted solely from human beings, and
is not the result of impure milk or
foods.
DIR. Park supported throughout his
paper the contention advanced by DR..
Robert Koch of Berlin, the discover
er of the tuberculosis germ when he
stood practically alone in declaring
that cattle did not transport pulmon-
airy tuberculosis to human beings.
The significance of these conclu-
sions, it was pointed out will be to di-
rect all the energy of the campaign
against tuberculosis to combating the
spread of this disease among human
beings. by preventing splitting, bad
housing, overwork and other condi-
tions bad for the health.
Attacks State Laws.
DIR. s. Adolphus Knopf of New York
attacked the Nebraska law which re-
quires INDECENT consumptives to submit
TO serum treatment and also the action
of the Oklahoma state board of medl-
cal examiners which forbids any ply
sician to practice i'm the state If he is
suffering or has suffered in the past
from tuberculosis.

ula delegation on its trip to the nation
al convention to be held in Detroit In

the uniforms TO be worn by the upper

the same, a committee having been Sc
lected to choose a typical miners uni
form, with the exception of the boots.
After deciding upon the uniform to be
worn, the committee proposes to secure
twelve samples which will be sent to
the different lodges of this section, so
that uniformity will be secured.
