for the horses" she said enthusia stical- ly. q know you have seen the poor things on hot summer days standing waiting their turn, many times hurried away before they ever got Q drop of water which Is absolutely cruel. Since the automobile has become so popular the horse which used to the King is now relegated to a back seat. The stable men will tell you this and that their business has suffered greatly on this ac- count. In consequence the good horse master has in large measure disap- peared and the horse has taken the po- sition where he is useful for revenue only or else he has ben snt back to the green fields of the country. Then. too, we want an officer who will look after these conditions, one who Is paid sufficiently to make it worth while. Of course our laws stand for protection of the dumb beast, but no law can be enforced without public sentiment and cooperation"
 Tt seems to me that the dog suffers even more than the horse," l suggested as I became greatly interested in our conversation.
 That is a very important item too, with the approach of summer said Mrs. Whelan, for then the dogs will be sub ject to the pound and the cruel manner In which they are caught, is one of the things we want to remedy. In other cities net is used for catching dogs while here we have the cruel hoops, which are used for that purpose. How anybody can mistreat dog is beyond my comprehension. Why, do you know that dog is the only thing in the world that will leave its own kind for hu- man being? Then, too, the chickens that come in great coops here from far-away places are badly packed and really, in many cases, it Is positively not health- ful to eat them. You bee. there Is no animal or fowl that does not come un- der the protection of the Humane so- ciety"
 'It seems to me that Birmingham should take q real pride in such an or ganization," I remarked.
 '1f only the necessity of cooperation could be impressed upon the people," said Mrs. Whelan earnestly. T feel sure that our membership today would be increa sed wonderfully. Greater Birmingham to be truly great must be humane and to quote Judge Feagin, who, by the way, h trs- mendously interested in our organizat tion:
 There Is nothing so degrading to the citizenship of a community as brutality to dumb animals
 "One of the best workers we have in this cause Is Mrs. w N. Wood who Is president of the Ensley Humane so- ciety," continued Mrs. Whelan. How ever, that organization Is going to join ours now that we are Greater Birming- ham. and I rejoice that we will have so capable and so interested member as Mrs. Wood"
 Tt seems to me almost a duty that ourc itizenship owes to itself to keep up this work and push 1t forward, I sug- gested
 Our responsibility to our Maker for our higher creation should prompt our attitude in this natter said Mrs. Whe- Ian in conclusion. and 1t is my earnest desire to see a large audience at our meeting today. Tn fact, every man. wom- an and child in Greater Birmingham is urged to come or send their name and Help Us Help the Helpless.' which Is the motto of the Humane society"

NO AU IHORITY TO
 ARRANGE WAGEG

New York February IA conference today between New York Central rail- road officials and committee of train men and conductors of the road devel- oped the fact that the employees were not authorized to negotiate at this time terms for a wage schedule.
 It has been expected and especially by the railroad companies that the New York Central employees would suggest some basis on which an agreement might be reached.
 General Superintendent Bradield said after the conference that the committee had told him they had no authority to negotiate terms and to suggest a com promise was to be had now, and added negotiations would be resumed when a conference was requested.
 The grand lodge at Cleveland will sub init amended demands on the railroads east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac before the week is over. It is declared replies will be forth coming three weeks after the demands re served
