B0dekey Is Hon0yed By
 He Chiefs' Association

Chief of Police George IT. Bodeker has received notice of his election as one of the board of directors of the International Association of Police Chiefs to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Chief Shippy of Chicago. who was no longer eligible to active membership in the association after the severance of his connection with the Chicago depart ment.
 That Chief Bodeker should have been elected to the directorate Is regarded as being indeed a compliment to him. AL though he has been chief but two years and has only attended two of the con yentions he has proven himself a decided favorfte with the members of the associa- tion. He made quite a hit at his first convention and when at the second one he extended the invitation for the chiefs to visit Birmingham in 1910 ne lost to Chicago only when Shippy made spe- cial request-'that of man not long to live"-that Birmingham lost by three votes.
 The splendid detective record which Chief Bodeker has all over the entire country, however, had made him known to the chiefs and his appearance in their convention hall as one of them was well comed heartily. His election to the di- rectorate is also regarded as extremely complimentary to Birmingham also.
 News of his election was received by him yesterday in 0 letter from Chief Richard Sylvester of Washington, D. C., president of the association. The letter also contained encouraging words rela- tive to Birmingham's chances for the securing of the convention this year. Chicago having lost out by Shippy's no longer being connected with the depart ment there. In his letter Sylvester states that Atlantic City and other palces are pulling hard for it. but he also gives a gentle hint that Birmingham will sue sssd h landing A yhs deeasto4 vin

CH|LDERSBURG MAN IS STRUCK BY CAR Wm. 1. findley Will Probably
 Die from Injuries SKULL BADLY FRACTURED Attempted to Cross Twentieth Street, Between Avenues c and H, and
 South Highlands Car
 Struck Hlm.
SKULL BADLY FRACTURED

William L. Findiey of Childersburg, who is, apparently, about 40 years old, was run down and probably fatally injured last night shortly after o'clock by a South Highlands street car on Twentieth street between Avenue G and Avenue H.
 From all that could be learned of the accident last night it seems that Findley was walking across Twentieth street and that about the time he reached the middle of the street a Highland car going south came along. It is stated that Findley stepped directly In front of the approach ing motor car which, 1t is stated, was not running at an excessive rate of speed.
 The car struck him squarely and knocked him down. His right leg was run over and was so badly crushed just above the ankle that an amputation will be necessary. The unfortunate man received a heavy blow in the middle of the fore head which inflicted an ugly wound and fractured his skull. The toes on the left foot were crushed. the mans hips were crushed badly and he was seriously bruised about the body generally.
 
 an ambulance from the undertaking es- tablishment of Shaw & Son and in the meantime Ldge Loy's ambulance was called. The two ambulances had a race out Twentieth street. The ambulance of Shaw & Son was the first to reach the scene and when 1t arrived FYndley was picked up In an unconscious condition. He was hurriedly removed to St. Vim cents hospital.
 An Identification was effected by means of letter found in the mans pocket ad- dressed to "William L. Findley, Childers- burg, Ala" The injured man was unable to talk when he was picked up.
 Information received from the hospital authorities last night was to the effect that Ffndley had not regained conscious ness. The wound in the mans forehead is an extremely ugly one, and 1t is stated that the fractured skull is likely to end the unfortunate mans life.

Resolutions Ask Members
 To Stop Purchasing Weats

'Whereas. That gigantic union of multi millionaires, known as the meat trust, has by its astute manipuiations of com bined capital forced the price of meats to a height beyond the reach of the multitude who toll in the busy marts of industry for moderate compensation, and,
 Whereas, An organized movement has been inauguraed by the trades unionists throughout this country-backed by the patriotic sentiment generally, of an out ragged public to abstain from the use of meats, be it therefore,
 Resolved, by the Birmingham Trades Council, That its members, affiliated bodies and friends be urged to discontinue the purchase of meats for period of 90 days except in cases where home prod ucts are available or can be bought di- rect from members of the Farmers Edu- cational and Cooperative union in Ala bama; and, be 1t further
 Resolved. That copies of these resolu- tions be sent to the President of the United States and to the Alabama sen- ators and congressman, and that they be urged to lend their influences to the enactment of federal statutes which will guarantee the immunity of the public from such unjust and damnable specula- tion in the necessaries of life"

be made by the bos, directors unless they decide to p -. to a card vote of the entire me,1.oership of the association. As this would consume a great amount of time and entail quite an expense 1t Is believed the directors will settle 1t among themselves.
 Chief Bodeker replied to the letter last night and made the invitation even stronger, expressing his belief that no city in the country of 15o.000 population could compare with Birmingham in the extending of hospitality. Desire for the convention appears to be growing in Bir mingham and each day finds Chief Bod- eker being approached by business men with the assurance that they are with him and will do everything to help land the convention and entertain the chiefs here.-
