DEMOCRATS TO
HAVE CONTROL
Report that Differences We're
Patched Up at Caucus OF
the Aldermen.
COMMITTEES NOT GIVEN
Calvin Has Little to Say
Republicans as Much i,
Minority as Ever.
COMMITTEES NOT GIVEN

Democratic aldermen, including
Alderman-elect John Kutcher. got
together In the council chamber OF
city hall following the committee
session OF the council last night, at
which time, it is understood, efforts
were made to have Calvin, Seaman
and Kutcher stand pat with the
Democratic organization men. Dlifi-
culties between Alderman Richard j..
Calvin and the regular Democrats
were referred to and concessions, II
is reported, were made whereby a
closer relationship in municipal af-
fairs was established. 1t now ap-
pears as though the five Democrats
In the council will stand together
and work In conjunction with one
another SO long as Messra. Calvin
and Seaman think matters are being
conducted In proper manner.
Calvin Has Little to Say.
Mr.. Calvin would say little con-
corning the caucus when questioned
today. He admitted there had been
one In the council chamber. When
asked IL he had decided to join
hands with the organization men, he
declared he had never been at odds
with them. When asked IL he would
stick wit Alderman-at-large-e e-elect
Ferd Garretson he declared he would
act no different after January l than
he has done previously. He said he
would be with Mr.. Garretson when
he considered him in the right and
against him when he thought he
was In the wrong.
When Alderman Seaman was ask
ed about a conference he declared
no conference but caucus had
been held. When he was asked
concerning the details of the same
he referred his interviewer to Alder
man-at large William D. Voorhees,,
saying, you'll have to guess at that.
without any help from me-"
Only Talked Things Over
When Mr.. Voorhees, was seen this
afternoon he denied there had been
any caucus, but there had simply
been a gathering to talk things
over. He said the disposition of
some ordinances now before the
council before the end OF the year
was mentioned. When asked what
was done concerning a lineup Of the
council for next year, he said he had
nothing to do with that as he would
be out Of Office by that TINA
II It Is a fact that the five Demo-
Gratis, or even four of them, stand
pat for the organization the Repub-
licans will be as much In the minor
ity in council affairs as they have
been since Alderman Hornsby be-
came the lone Republican alderman.
n-at-large-elect Ferd Gar
retson, 1t is cohtended, would be
nothing more than figurehead
after January / excepting for his
position as acting mayor.

ARE OPPOSED
TO MOVEMENT
Plan for Quarantine Station
Meets With Objections.

Many people along the water
front and several coal concerns have
registered complaints against es-
tabltshing a quarantine station at
the proposed location off Schantz
and Eckerts w. Parker. Runyon,
president of the Perth Amboy Dry
Dock Company, has been appealed
to by several of the complainants
and has been made spokesman. Mr..
Runyon has forwarded to the super
visor OF harbors written COM
plant why the quarantine station
should not be established at the pro-
posed situation.
The opposition to the plan was
made known at conference held
in the New York custom house yes
.terday between Supervisor of Har-
bors Emery and DR.. G. w. Nc
Naulty, Jr., Federal health officer,
land Captain A. M. Beebe, of this
city. The conference now places the
matter In the hands of the super
visor of harbors and If he endorses
1T Perth Amboy will have the desir-
ed quarantine station.
The assistant supervisor of har-
bors has been in this city lately,
has interviewed the merchants along
shore and has presented their COM
plants to his superior in New York.
Those who are against the move
nent claim that the barges and
schooners will not be allowed to
pass through the pocket without
paying fine of $500 maximum PEN
atty and that commerce will de-
crease locally with the establish
ment of such a station.
1t is also claimed that the port
|of Perth Amboy will be ruined for
all boats will be held up at this
station. Mr. Runyon said this
morning that he does not object to
the establishment of quarantine
station in this port but claims the
location chosen is not an advantage,
but great disadvantage to the
commerce OF this city.
pr. g. w Naulty. Jr., who is a
prime mover In the fight for. the es-
tabiishing OF such station In this
DerI. ridicnies the obstacles stated
by those who are against the move
ment DR.. Naulty has letter from
Captain Cherry of the l.. v. r. r..
feet who states that his. company
will help the local authoi tiles to win
their fight This letter has been
forwarded to Washington.
The Board of Trade will be ap-
#pealed to by Mr.. Naulty to assist In
having the station established.

ROBBERS AGAIN
AT MILLTOWN
Fourth Time Within a Year
that Post Office Has
Been Entered.
PRlED OPEN FRONT DOOR
Combination Of Safe Blown
OFF by Charged Robbers
Frightened Away.

Milltown Dec. 16:-For the
fourth time within a year the post
office at this place was broken into
last night and attempt made to
blow open the safe. The effort was
unsuccessful however, the robbers
evidently being frightened away by
the noise they made. Nothing was
taken although the combination on
the safe was blown off so that 1t
could not be opened today. 1t Is
suspected that local parties are inn
plicated in these robberies. Every
attempt has been on a stormy night
1t was about 2:45 O'Clock thfs
morning that some of the neighbors
were awakened by muffled report
1t was SO faint to them, however,
that they paid no further attention.
When Postmaster William Fl.
Huhlpahau went to open the office
this morning he found the front
door had been pried open also the
inner door leading back of the
boxes. On the floor In front Of the
safe was a blanket belonging to
Christian Crabiel, teamster, whose
stable Ia close by This had been
taken by the robbers to deaden the
sound. There were also several
tools. Including mallet, chisel,
pinchers and small ball of soap,
indicating that the robbers had beat
en- hasty retreat. So far as known
nothing was taken. The fact that
the robberies are SO frequent and
that all of them have been on the
same kind Of nights, leads the au-
thorities to believe that the deed is
done by some one familiar with To-
cal conditions.

WORK WILL START SOON ON NEW JAIL The Total Cost of Land and Construction Will
 Reach SS0,000

The commissioners announced yester- day that the negotiations for the jail site near the Standard oil company plant on Avenue F had been practically closed and that work would begin within a very short time upon the con struction of the prison. It is stated that the commission will secure approxi- matelv 19 acres which has a fine sup plv of water running directly through it from the Birmingham Realty com pany The price to be paid for the land is said to be about s40,0o0. The iail will be constructed, it is said, by the city forces under Street Commis- sioner Frank H. Gafford, who has en- tered the local market for the needed construction equipment for the prison,
 The jail will cost, when completed. about $4oOOo, that being the figure appropriated for the building
 Commissioner James Weatherly and President Exum have been working to get the property strengthened out so that work may be started just as soon as possible This, it is said, has been arranged.

CONDITIONS VERY
 FAIR AT ANNISTON
Post master Barker in the City as the
 Guest of c. s. Goodwin

C. R. Barker, postmaster at Anniston. was in Birmingham yesterday on person. al business. While here he was the guest of C. s. Goodwin formerly of Anniston.
 "Anniston is moving right ahead along progressive lines" said MT. Barker. We have been doing fairly well during the summer months and while generally speaking business has not been so flat tering at the same time little grumbling Is heard from those who have invest ments in Annston.
 "The industrial situation in Anniston seems to be much better, and we antici- pate the most active developments in an industrial way very soon. The location of our city Is fine for manufacturing plants and industrial mills, and we have no doubt but that great recognition from others will follow those who have already selected our city for plants.
 Birmingham. however. certainly does more than any city of like size in the country. The building activities about here are certainly encouraging and the outlook, l have been told is very good indeed. Birmingham is certainly growing fast into the first rank of southern cities"

DEFEAT WOULD
 DISCREDIT COMMISSION

"I am wholly in favor of the bond is sue." said Judge W. D. Fort. T think that this is the only remedy for the pres ent financial condition of the city. I have full confidence in the commissioners and I do not think that they would ask for this bond issue unless they thought that it would be the best for all concerned.
 "To defeat this issue would be to dis credit the commission, without cause, for those that do not desire this plan to carry offer no other feasible plan by which the city could meet it's debts
 It is impractical to expect the commits sion to borrow this large amount of money at the same rate as secured recently, for this recent loan was made on short time but nevertheless I think that the bond issue would be very much cheaper in the long run than borrowing constant ly in small amounts.
 While I understand this is serious issue and should be fairly and fully dis cussed, believe that the citizens are fully acquainted with it's general plan, and that the time set for election is long enough for every one to see the issue as it is. I think that it would be "a calamity if this business project would fail, but I feel confident that the bond issue will carry with a large majority"

 The statement follows A
 We have secured the extra 20 feet space on Second avenue occupied by the Williams Music store. which makes the space originally contracted for, except the % feet on Twentieth street occupied by the Peoples Tailoring company.

 "The building when completed will pre- sent the most effective appearance in the south, as there will be more plate glass frontage than any other store in the south in all over 200 feet.
 Three up-to-date mezzanine floors of latest designs will be accessible by ele- vators.
 "The main entrance and only entrance of importance will be Twentieth street. giving one solid plate glass show window of 125 feet which is by far the biggest frontage of any store in the south DRENNEN COMPANY"

John H. Frye's Opinion

John H. Frye president of the Traders National bank, said:
 Some years ago 1t was very frequently l argued that prohibition would interfere with business; at the present time the objection most often urged Is that it does
 not prohibit On the latter ground many | patriotic and conscientious citizens have opposed it. and for their views l have the utmost respect. The number of those
 who favor this law the ground that 1t should be made to prohibit, added to the number who would favor it if en- forced. in my judgment, constitutes in the aggregate a large majority of our voting population.
 "I have never been able to bring my self to the belief that it is either right in principle, or wise in policy, to repeal law on the ground that small minori- ty of the people propose to violate it. as the blind tiger element of Jefferson county has done. If a majority of our cit- izens are in favor of the enforcement of the existing law, and I believe there is such a majority, 1t would seem the part of wisdom to make further efforts for enforcement.
 At an election held in the fall of 1907 in Jefferson county. prohibition was adopt ed by a good majority. \ lat time we have had but one adh itionz of |. our police department, witiA ,rtnges in the force, some of thesS yeing been made by the commission. That admins tration has been capable in many ways, and at times has successfully enforced the prohibition law; but no other admin
 stration has had opportunity to do so. "If the department is unable perma- nently to enforce, with a reasonable de- gree of success, this, any other law, two options are left us; one to change the laws, the other to change tke ad- ninistration of the department. With no bias against this administration, l would say that, if it has had fair chance. or when 1t shall have had such chance, if it does not enforce the prohibition law or any other statute, I would favor a change in the administration, rather than repeal of the law"
