 I. A. Lewis this morning suspended Off cer Newt Clements from the Bessemer police force on general charge of con duct unbecoming an officer. Mayor Lewis refused to say what the specific charge was and it will probably not come out until the investigation of the suspension by the police committee of the council. It is understood that the charge was made by Sam Raine, who runs fruit stand on Nineteenth street and Second avenue. The charge will probably be h. vestigated by the police committee De- fore the next meeting of the council on Tuesday night and will make a report to the council at that time. The suspen- sion caused considerable surprise as Ofn- cer Clements has always been looked on as one of the best men on the police force.

Bessemer has played two games with the Northerners and has annexed them both. The Young Mems Christian association is scheduled to play the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power com- pany and will have a hard game. The loss of game by the Sox at this stage of the season would mean that Bessemer would take first place.
