To Tell How Philadelphia
Car Strike Was Handled

John B. Taylor, superintendent OF the
Philadelphia police department, is one of
the most interesting characters attend
ing the association of police chiefs, for
he comes fresh from an experience
through which few chiefs in the world
have ever passed.
Chief Taylor directed the forces during
the recent street car strike in Philadel-
phia. which brought about one of the
largest sympathetic strikes in history. He
handled the situation with $500 policemen,
covering 500 miles of street railroad while
26O, coo people were out on a sympathetic
strike
There were 100 men arrested he said
last night, ''and about eight or nine killed
during a period of 10 weeks that the
strike lasted.
How to handle a mob was the great
question which confronted us, and has
always been the hard fight for law en-
forcement in the past. 1t is for this
reason that we hold thees conventions,
to impart the knowledge gained by ex-
perience. and I shall have something to
say to the chiefs about the handling OF
crowds in Philadelphia
Chief Taylor worked out plan for
handling mobs which is said to have
served admirably. Police departments
from all sections sent representatives to
Philadelphia, and the eyes of the world
were on the police force while the great
strike was in progress. The address OF
the man who directed this plan will be
one of the features of the convention

MAYOR O'BRIEN is
AGAIN AT HIS DESK
TALKS ABOUT THE SERIOUS PROB
LENS WHICH WILL CONFRONT
THE NEXT MAN WHO OCCUPIES
THE MAYORS CHAIR

Mayor Frank P. o Brien was down at
his office yesterday for the first time in
several weeks, and while still feeling
little badly appeared to be much i'm
proved over his condition at the time he
left Birmingham to attend the Confed-
crate reunion at Mobile.
After the reunion Mayor OBrien went
to Pass Christian, Miss, and recuperated
a bit. He suffered greatly from in
somnia and nervousness, but during the
last few days has found some relief from
this.
In the course of conversation reference
was made to the sensation which had
been created by his withdrawal from the
mayors race while away from the city
Regarding this Mayor O'Brien said: The
next man in the mayors chair has my
sincerest sympathies, for he is taking
hold of one of the most worrisome posi-
lions which a man could have. The
duties of this office now are Immense
and they will be many times greater by
the time the next mayor takes hold.
The city is right up against it finan-
cially and a great amount of work which
is badly needed is being held up. The

SUBURBAN MEETING
TAKES NO ACTION
SEVERAL NAMES PROPOSED FOR
MAYOR BUT AGREEMENT COULD
NOT BE REACHED AND ADJOURN
MENT WAS TAKEN HURRIEDLY

The caucus of suburbanites, THE
Birmingham Municipal league" which
was held last night in the first division
of the criminal court room at the court
house, and the meeting of the city
democratic executive committee to-
night, are the things which are at
tracing interest in local politics.
Nothing definite was done by the SUI
burbanites last night. A large crowd at
tended and three candidates for mayor
were held up in the limelight
Former Mayor George B. Ward was
talked at great length and his name
was put in nomination as one on whom
the suburbanites should center their
vote. The names of Carl II. Seals and
Culpepper Exum followed in quick sue
cession and the debating over the three
men grew interesting. Jere C. King
and F. !. Monks, the other two an
nounced candidates, were also proposed
1t looked like quite miX-up for
a while and it was impossible to tell
anything by a standing vote. Sc
cret ballot was suggested and matters
were progressing toward the holding
of one when motlOn was mace TOT
adjournment. 1t carried and the meet
ing broke up without another date Of
meeting having been set.
Suggestions to nominate some one
for president of the Board of Aldermen
were made, but did not meet with final
action. No names were put in actua.
nomination for this place.
Something like $50 men attended the
meeting and the first division Grim
inal courtroom was well filed. For
mer Mayor w. E. Perryman of Wood
lawn presided. There were short talk
by great many of those present .rela-
tive to the ability of the various can
didates, some being full OF praise while
others were the reverse. Matters were
assuming an interesting stage when
the motion for adjournment came and
the meeting broke up hurriedly.
Whether there will be another at
tempt made to get the suburbanitss to-
gether is not known, but 1t Is be-
lieved another meeting will be held In
the next few days.
The meeting of the city democra tic
executive committee tonight should be

of which o. 8. Finch Is chairman. will
make report on the plan of the pri-

Has anybody here seen Kelly, Kelly
from the Emerald Isle?' Sure and he
came in right from the land O. Erin yes
terday morning, together with a whole
raft of Irishmen. who have come to at
tend the annual convention of the police
chiefs.
And among them all there is no jolier,
finer fellow than Mike Raglan, the SUI
perintendent of police of Buffalo, n. Y.
who is the talest member of the inter-
national organization of chiefs, and no
condensed good nature pleasant as
that of w. D. Vinzant of Jacksonville,
Fla, the smallest police chief in America
The two of them are the long and the
short of Irishdom, but there are many
among the chiefs who believe in the wear
in of the green. Mike and Murphy,
O'Connor, Pat, Pete and Hennessay, all
came in on the trains yesterday. and soon
had the corridors of the hotels full of
Irish good humor.
Big Chief Ragan is the happy man. He
is the fellow who royalty entertained
the chiefs in Buffalo last year, and they
are all showing him their appreciation
is the greatest police chief on the face OF
the earth, and what Mike Rodgers don't
know hasn't been written.
Now, there's Monahan of Jersey City,
the heaviest chief in the convention,
r-"irhing close to 300 pounds but as live
as a two-year-old and wears his hat
-~oat two sizes too small.

scale upon which the mass meeting en-
tered into the fight. Mr.. Exum has called
a meeting of the big committee for this
