(COQUlQu0Q IRON laSL Week.
Judge Pollard won the support of
the delegates from twenty-three coun-
tries for the abolition of his plan to
suspend sentence in the case of every
first offender who are brought into
court charged with drunkenness. This
involves such first offenders signing
pledge to abstain for one year. If
the. .-probationers fail to live up to
their pledge they may be arrested and
summarily sentenced. The knowledge
that one drink may mean prison
sentence, Judge Pollard argued, kept
many man straight until he has had
time to collect himself. The penalty
for failure to keep faith with the court
was not settled, several of the dele
gates arguing in favor of various de-
grees of punishment. The principle
however, was regarded as admir- able,
and 400 delegates urged its adoption
by the various governments of the
world.
There was considerable debate on
the effects of the use of small guam
titles of alcohol No conclusion was
reached.
While the Congress took no action
looking to International organization
for work, the meeting resulted in the
organization of two auxiliaries. One
is the International Prohibition Fed
Grafton, which proposes to wage an
educational campaign among adults.
and the International Abstainina
Teachers Union, society composed
of teachers in the public schools and
universities who will pledge themselve.
to promote the temperance education
Of youth.

The AameleSS Dead.

We only know they fought and died,
and DER their graves the wind has sigh
ed for many a long, slow-footed year;
and winters SHOWS have driftsd here:
and in the dawning warmth of spring
the joyous birds came here to sing.
We only know that rest is sweet to
weary hearts, and toiling feet, and they
who sleep beneath the sod gave all thew
had to give to God. And in the radiance
OF the Throne, their names are known
their names are known!
We know not from what homes thew
came; We can but guess their dreams Of
fame; but lamps for them vainly burn.
and mothers waited their return, and
listened, at some cottage door, for steps
that sounded never more; and loving
eyes grew dim with tears, and hearts
grew old with grief Of years.
And here they sleep as they have
slept since legions DER the country
swept; where mothers wait before the
Throne, their names are known-their
names are known. Walt Mason in The
Washington Herald.

TUBERCULOSIS CAMP
 ON RED MOUNTAIN

The temporary camp for tubercular pa- tients will be located in few weeks on top of Red Mountain, on the property owned by the city of Birmingham for merly known as the pest house property. The committee of the Anti-Tuberculosis association appointed to select a site. has practically decided on this location.
 Barnes Morgan, chairman of the commit tee, had Q conference with Mayor O'Brien yesterday morning. and the Mayor ex- pressed his hearty sympathy with the plan.
 A resolution will be drawn, and no doubt passed by unanimous consent. allowing the city property to be used for the camp. It is considered an ideal spot, as 1t is convenient to the city, and yet out of the dust and smoke. A fine spring is near at hand, with the best water in the district.
 There are about thirty patients In the city and county who are unable to pay to go away. who need the care of this sanitarium immediately, and the associa- tion hopes to give it to them. It will require, however, the cooperation of tha people of the city, who must join the association and pay the $1 dues. in order to help meet the expenses.

LIGHT CONTRACT
 TO EXPIRE SOON

The light committee of the City Coun- cil is now one of the busiest, with all of Greater Birmingham on it's hands, and the time approaching for a renewal of a contract with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 Chairman Simon Klotz has called . meeting to be held Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, when a mass of detail work will be gone into. The committee Is swamped with petitions for new lights, but will have to be cautious and see that 1t gets a reduction "a the price of arc lights.
 The present contract expires in Septem- Der and MT. Klotz proposes to take time by the forelock and have an understand ing with the light company in plenty of time to take action If the terms are not satisfactory. He expects, however, to get material reduction.
 The finance committee of the council has been called by Chairman Heidt to meet Tuesday night This committee will take up the advisability of calling bond election for $1 00o,0O0 of bonds to be used for schools and a crematory. It Is very probable that the election will be called, and that Monday, August 22. will be the date selected. The council meeting We'd nesday night will be a busy one.

MCDOWELL OPPOSED
 ID THE BOND ISSUE
Ensley Man Wants Further
 Investigation
PILES UP FUTURE DEBTS
Is Needed Ensley Hns a Brand New One That Cnn Accom-
 modate About 600

In reference to the proposed bond is- sue for schools and crematory, Alder man M. H. Mcdowell of the Sixteenth ward gave out the following interview yesterday:
 T will have to be shown not only the need but the imperative necessity for Il before I would support any further bond propositions just at the present. The fact that the bonds could be sold or that pro- bonded indebtedness than certain other cities gives no excuse for an issue.
 "The city now has a system of schools in advance of anything in the south and further extension should be looked into in a thorough and business-lke way with out hysteria Half the school buildings in the city are inaccessible during bad weather to a large per centage of the pupils. owing to lack of street and side- walk improvements. If the Birmingham High school is overflowing there is a new building at Ensley thoroughly modern in all essentials which can accommodate 600 students and which could take care of the situation for some time to come.
 Personally, I would rather see half a million dollars expended in equipment for the street department. so some ef- fective work of general benefit could be done but even this should not be au- thorized until after intelligent and care- full investigation. The present equipment is not sufficient to attend to the gar bage.
 'It also seems that $150,O0O for crema- tory is paying pretty high to get rid of waste. Interest on this alone would be s750O a year; depreciation and repairs would amount to at least $10,000 more, and in addition there would be operating ex- penses. Collecting the garbage would then, as now, exhaust all the means of the street department.
 ''The problems of Greater Birmingham are yet to be solved. and they are many and complex There Is no use taking two bites at cherry. It will take time and thought and investigation to deter mine the pressing needs of the city as a whole, and the people should be thor. oughly informed as to the items Of pro- posed expenditures and when and where and how. It may develop that million dollars is not a third enough. and 1t may be shown that 1t is too much.
 'The fixed charges of the city for in terest account alone are s2500oo a year or approximately 20 per cent of the reve nue from license, taxes. etc. Generations hence this same old debt will be hanging over our posterity It should be added to only when found absolutely necessary That more money will be needed in ths near future Is generally admitted bu the people want to know all about 1t I have found few who would blindly fol low q bond crowd simply because th' credit of the city would permit the issu' and sale. Six months hence will be tint enough to take the matter under con sideration and 1t will take that long tt get a true insight into conditions.
 There have been too many elections lately and everybody wants a rest"

SHELBY -MENGE co.
 IS PROGRAMMED

The Sibley-Menge Brick and Coal com pany was organized yesterday with cap ital stock of $20O0 with the privilege of increasing to any amount. J. W. Sibley, president of the new corporation, states that the capital will be increased to $SOo coo at once and the properties and busi' ness of the Sbley-Menge Press Brick company and Sibley Brothers Coal com pany will be absorbed by or consolidated with the new company, and $1oo0oo of fresh capital added for enlarging the plants and handling the rapidly dncreas- ing business.
 The company will continue to mine, with increased output, the celebrated Black creek seam of coal, for which there is a well established trade, and the new company in addition to the high grade face brick turned out by the plant at Sibleysville, will add department for making large quantities of common brick.
 Nearly 75 per cent of the press brick made by the Sibley-Menge company is shipped all over the southern states. thus causing an inflow of foreign money to Birmingham.
 The officers of the new company are: John W. Sibley, president; Joseph A. Menge, vice president and treasurer. with the main office in the Brown-Marx build ing, and w. L. Sibley, secretary and man. ager, with headquarters at Sibleyville, where the extensive plant is located

BOWRON AND TILTON MAY
 LEAD THE REPUBLICANS


 the leader of the prohibitionlsts in the democratic party.
 It was thought strange that the demo- crats should nominate two men of such widely varying opinions, but the republi- cans seem likely to duplicate the deed. If possible the convention will also nom- mate Ruben F. Kolb, the democratic nom- inee for commissioner of agriculture. There is some question about the legality of his name appearing on two tickets. Present indications denote that there will be no opposition for Congressman Underwood, nor for members of the su- preme court.
 Active republican politics will open to- morrow at noon, when the Therapeutics and the anti-Thompsonites will clash at the meeting of the county republicans. There will be big fight for control of the organization, with the probability that the Thompson forces will retain power.

THIS BABY IS HAPPY

He's just as pink and chubby as any little ten-day old lad that ever was born. He is so cute that even the policemen love him, just a short, kicking, cooing little roll of flesh with a little red spot for his mouth and two little blue spots where his eyes are. He's cute, awfully cute, but nobody wants him and nobody knows who his papa and mamma are either.
 Sergeant Shirley of the North Birming-
 ham police station says that the child. according to reports, was left at the home of Mrs. Pyle, 2100 North Twenty sixth avenue. The oman that left him said she was a school teached. She was in big hurry and told Mrs. Pyle that
 if she would keep the baby little while she would receive good payment for her
 trouble. The girl left. Nobody knows whether she was the mother or not. She never came back and hence no one knows who the young man with the chubby fists happens to be. In the meantime
 the police are Investigating and the little boy Is happy.

S25,OOO IN FEES ARE ALLOWED BY MURPHY Receivers Are Also Allowed
 $15,000 on Account MIR. GODBY'S STATEMENT Withdraws His Petition for Fees and States That He Will File n Counter
 Plea Later-knight Present
 at the Hearing
dR. GODBY'S STATEMENT

The allowance Of fee of $25.000 to five firms of attorneys. the withdrawal of a petition for fees by Attorney Godby and a statement by W. D. Nesbitt of the firm of Knight, Yancey & Co.,. printed else> where in this issue, formed the most in- teresting events in the hearing of credits ors which occurred yesterday.
 Attorney Godby, in an implied state- ment that he did not relish the intima- tions of attorneys which were included in a petition to investigate fees that he had received, withdrew his petition for fees which was filed by the attorney be- fore Referee Murphy at the hearing sev- eral days ago MT. Godby stated that he would file a counter plea later and wished the referee would investigate the fees that he Is said to have received hereto- fore This Referee Murphy refused to do inasmuch as those fees were not be- fore the court.
 The hearing of the pleas for fees, which include those claimed by the attorneys. the receivers and the trustee, was prac- tically al lthat developed at the meeting held yesterday. Several attorneys were examined who testified to the reason- ableness of the fees as claimed by those interested.
 After the testimony of the attorneys and other witnesses the trustee and his attorneys rested their case Referee Mur- phy at the conclusion of the testimony listened to an argument by Attorney Godby, after which he announced that the fee of $25,o0O would be allowed, and a. fee of $15,Ooo on account would be allowed the receivers.
 John W. Knight of the bankrupt firm of Knight, Yancey & Co. was present at the hearing yesterday. However, his presence was for the purpose of testify- ing to the reasonableness of the fees claimed by Attorney Godby. And as the petition for fees by MT. Godby was with drawn the presence of MT. Knight on the stand was dispensed with.
 The next hearing will be held on the third Saturday in this month MT. Knight Referee Murphy and MT. Godby returned to their homes last night
