It would appear to me to be necessary for some individual, or such committee, if your honorable body thinks it wise, to personally inspect and investigate the different systems of garbage disposal in operation in the different cities of the size of the city of Birmingham, that we may determine just which method is the best. and which the most economical.
 Clerical Help
 q am advised that it is absolutely necessary for the proper handling of tax collections in the treasurer's office that an additional clerk be employed, and after an investigation recommend that this additional help be allowed the city treasurer at salary not to exceed 5000 per annum.
 'I further recommend that a com petent man be employed as assistant in the auditors office at salary of say $500 or $2000 per annum For this position 1t is necessary that a man be appointed who will be in position to assits your auditor in every detail of the office, and who, in the absence of the auditor at any time, will be com petent to act in his stead and furnish the executive department and your hon. orable body any and complete informa- tion that may be called for. I would suggest to your honorable body, that in the auditors office, which is probably the most important department of the city government, 1t might be better and respectfully ask that the matter of adequate assistance in that office be re- ferred to such committee as your honor able president may consider best, and this committee be given power to act in the matter.
 The Auditing of All Departments

Many of the old Confederate soldiers who went with him to the rrohe when the war hung low over this country are following his leadership to this day.
 The exhibits at the fair still continue to come in and the racing event of the afternoon was greatly enjoyed. The BPS pace was won by Lucy B., time 2;2Oi purse $1OO.

Golden Gate took two heats and Thurlow three Purse $50, time 2:1s.
 The balloon races were quite exciting, hundreds never having seen race or this sort and the audience stood spell bound when the girl and her companion each cut loose from their balloons ana started earthward making b dlnerehl shots in their parachutes.

BY TAV,
Special Washington Correspondence.

Thirty-fve per cent is the amount of profit Armour < Co. forced the public to "a st vear
 This fact has bee" ascertained by the state iieti' S' .allltted by Armour X Co.,, in connection with the listing of bond issue of $30,OOO,Ooo op the stock exchange. The company by itsrownI showing made gross profit of $l0,oo2 900 for the year 1909 on capital stock or $20,O00,000l and earned surplus of $7 127 ,GJ26, or the equiv alent of dividend of 35,e per cent. So far in 1910 the price of meat has been higher than in 1909, which would make it appear 35.6 per cent profit on capital stock is not ample, even though the commodity concerned is one of the necessar ies of life.
 The revealing of this enormous profit would seem on the face of 1t to require modification of the explanation of the high price of meat re- gently made by the chairman of the packers committee. That explanation was in effect that the packer, being obliged to pay higher price for livestock passed on the additional cost to- the dealer who, in turn shifted it to the con- sumer. This, however, is not the whole story of the rise of mess beef from $885 barrel 1906 to $13.20 in 1908. For its full understand ing there must be taken into account the millions in surplus profits reserved by the packers to convince Wall street of the safe and lucrative nature of their business.
 It is generally believed that the department of justice will have little trouble in convictng the beef trust of being in existence in violation of the antitrust law, or of proving that Armour l & Co, Swift < Co.,, Morris X Co.,, and the Ma tional Packing company are in conspiracy to control the price of beef It has long been charged that the National Packing company is controlled by the three other concerns named. These companies, it is charged control the price of beef through their control of the National Packing company.
 The United States government secured the necessary evidence to break up the beef trust several years ago, but failed owing to the stu pidity of James R. Garfield later secretary of the interior. Garfield gave the packers immuni- ty from prosecution by compelling them to di-

assuring them that he did not think they in tended'' to do wrong, and did mot believe that any public service would be rendered by making at this time a test case of past transactions"
 This action of Mir. Wickersham received crit icism from many quarters. Exception was taken to the attorney generals assertion that the cases in mention were "test" cases. Itwas asserted that Morris & Co.,, and three other large packers of Chicago, had been prosecuted under indictments almost exactly similar to the ones quashed by Mr. Wickersham. Each com pany so prosecuted had been fined $15,000, and paid the fine. The cases went on appeal to the United States supreme court, where, without any division of the bench, the convictions were sustained.

vulge certain information After thus securing the information, Garfield proceeded to use it to prosecute the victims with After the govern ment had spent hundreds of thousands ot dol lars in the investigation and prosecution, Judge new administration came into office it found Humphrey of Chicago threw the cases out of court for the reason given.
 JJp to this time the Taft administration has been most friendly to the beef trust. When the bending from the Roosevelt reign some import ant cases against members of the beef trust. It was declared that the Roosevelt admins tration had intended proceeding with the prose cutions.

CAPTAIN SAYS HIS COP
Is NO MUNCHAUSEN.

Patrolman John r. Weber, of the
First Precinct who reported at the
police station yesterday that he had
discovered someone attempting to enter
the residence of w. Campbell Clark at
1910 Broad street, gave to Captain
Ryan today more detailed report of
the alleged affair The report states
that the officer discovered the side
gate of the Clark house open. He in
vestigated and says that as he entered
the yard two men ran from the base
ment and vaulted the fence into DR..
H. C. II. Herold's yard, next door.
He fired at the fleeing men. the report
says, and thinks he hit one, for he
heard an outcry. He then climbed the
fence, but could see nothing. He says
that he then raped for assistance and
Patrolman Kerrigan, who was on the
next post, responded. He then declares
he saw a man running out of Walnut
street. He caught the man, who de-
clared that he was on his way to the
Beth Israel Hospital, where he had
been summoned to the deathbed of his
mother. The officer released him and
went to the house al 6S Walnut street,
the address given by the man, ana
says he found the mans story true.
Captain Ryan scoffs at the idea that
the report of the officer has no founda-
tion.
