suspected to have had something to do with the affair. They were taken to North Birmingham last night for identi- fication but the officers were unable to see Miss Nash, They will probably be taken before her today.
 Miss Nash was not seriously injured by her encounter with the negro and was able to make a statement to the off cers and to give an accurate description of the man. Miss Nash stated that she was on her way home from grocery store and that she had to pass through some woods. As she passed along path negro seized her and told her that if she screamed he would kill her and he might do so any way. She states that she fought him desperately, but was over come and thrown to the ground. The negro took a $2 bill from her. The negro was then frightened away by the shouts of some boys who had seen the occur renee.
 North Birmingham people are greatly aroused. This second attempted crin- inal assault by a negro upon white woman within week has enraged them greatly Aboutya week ago Miss Irene Pearson was assaulted by a negro, who has not been captured. Crowds quickly collected at Thirty-sixth avenue and Twenty third street yesterday where the assault occurred, and began hunt for the man. The hunt for the man will be kept up by the police and sheriff's men and 1t is believed that he will be cap tured shortly.

WHAT BROUGHT IT ON

The City Council will hold a short session tonight. The adoption of an ordinance establishing recorders S court promises to be the most import ant matter. The investigation of the light rates and the ordinance provid- Ing pay for aldermen will probably be held over as well as the viaduct mat ter.
 rThe livest subject scheduled to come up is the fire sale" which has been waving for two weeks like a red flag and not only developed Nbad feeling yesterday afternoon in the Board of Trade but has caused warm discussions on the street corners.
 It is all over the sale of the fire damaged stock of the Louis Saks fire. Just month ago Phil Harper intro- duced the following resolution In the City Councils Be 1t resolved, That any foreign firm or corporation en- gagged in selling fire stock shall pay a license of 5000 per annum."
 At that time the Saks stock was owned by an outsider who had pur- chased 1t from the insurance company.
 Today Phi. Harper Is manager of the store and 1t Is being conducted without license. This is due to the fact that the license schedule does not

Feeling ran high at North Birmingham.
 The two motorcycle officers were hur- ried to the scene of the crime, as were other officers. Two deputies from the sheriff's office rushed out but with all the efforts of the officers the negro has apparently made good his escape. Posses of men from North Birmingham searched the woods around North Birmingham all yesterday afternoon in hopes of finding him, but were unsuccessful.
 Deputy Sheriffs Lee Higdon and Ferier took Colonel Higdon's dogs to the scene of the crime and those, with some dogs procured from Dennis Eohols of Ensley. traced the negro to near Coalburg. The trail was very difficult one to follow for both men and dogs. No one saw the negro after he attempted the as- sault.
 It was rumored late yesterday after noon that a negro that fitted the de- scription given the officers by Miss Nash had been arrested near Lewisburg, but such information could not be verified, either by the sheriff's men or by the police. Two negroes were arrested in a pool room on Eighteenth street who are

REPORT ON ARRESTS
 FOR TWO MONTHS

The report of the work of the police department for the months of July and August has been made public by Chief Bodeker and shows a decided increase in the number of arrests over the months of May and June. There have been more arrests for minor offenses have decreased. laws than for sometime previous. The arrests for minor oqenses have decreased, however, and the effect of the chiefs order to make fewer arrests for small troubles Is being felt.
 During July there was a total of 1889 arrests made by the department. Of this number BPS were for violating the sanitary laws, and 3o2 of the number were convicted. There were $3599 in fines collected by the wardens and clerks and Ss01 worth of stolen property recovered. There were 30 arrests for violating the prohibition law and p convictions. The

provide for a fire sale and, since the 5000 resolution was held up at the meeting two weeks ago, Collector Bog gan has decided to wait until the board sets a license. q could collect the merchants license but I do not think 1t Is fair to charge so little, hc said. MT. Boggan states that the stock Is owned by Aldermen Collins, Gambill, ONeill and Harper. All of their terms run out next month.
 At the meeting of the Board of Trade yesterday afternoon Jacob Burger intro duced a resolution calling on the coun- ell to set a license for fire sales, rang ing from $50 to $500 a month. MT. Burger was opposed by Aldermen Heidt and Collins and the resolution was voted down.
 The council will tonight decide just what an equitable fire sale license is. Of course the resolution setting 5000 on foreign firms or corporal tions Is entirely unconstitutional as 1t discrim- mates against outsiders.
 However it would now serve no pur- pose as there Is no foreign person attempting to put on fire sale. MT. Harris who formerly owned it, has sold out and left the city.

lplan designed to exclude this well ap-
proved system from any state, city
or township it aspires to enter If
those who are shaping its destiny rec
Iognize a public demand for its serv-

interpose an objection to its extension ?
All the company asks of the public is
a right-of-way, which means the right
to do business, for the public benefit,
a right to which every legitimate Am
erican enterprise is entitled. The Tel
epost wants no subsidy and is not a
petitioner for financial assistance from
any state or municipal body Its plans
contemplate no abridgement or en-
croachment upon any right enjoyed by
any community from Maine to Cali
fornia.
The Telepost offers to transmit tele-
graph messages from the Atlantic to
the Pacific at a maximum rate of one
cent and minimum rate of one quar-
ter of one cent a word, regardless of
time or distance. Surely this is no
reason why it should be debarred from
competing for business with the mon
opoly The Telepost sends over its
wires messages at a speed of 1000

25 words a minute of its high-priced
