COMPLAINS ABOUT

Frank P. File Objects to 1t
and Inspector Cassidy
Orders ii Down

The following communication has
been received:
Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
AS a citizen of Wilmington for a
number Of years, ! would like to know
why Mr. Cassidy, the building inspec-
tor, allows a temporary frame build
ing to remain upon the premises
after the building has been completed.
l have applied for relief, but have re-
ceived none. l have communicated
with the Mayor about the same and
nothing has been done. 1t seems
strange that Some people are allowed
to do as they please and others have
to live up to the strict letter of the
law. Now Mr.. Editor please let me
know, if you can, where am l to get
this matter attended to. It appears
to me if the proper officers of the
city will not attend to their duties,
it would be a good thing to elect a
new set of officers to enforce the law.
Respectfully Yours,
Frank p. File.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

By The United Press.
NEW YORK, May 31.-The happen
ings after the close of business on
Monday had a conflicting influence on
price movements at the opening of
the stock market today. An idea that
the tobacco decision would interfere
with projected developments in con-
solidations of other industries caus-
er recessions in a number of stocks
while others reflected the relief from
the long tension in brisk and import
ant advances. Union Pacific advanced
l "a, Southern Pacific "a. ST. Paul,
Northern Pacific, Chesapeake and
Ohio and Erie First Pfd., more than
point. Steel Common declined a
point At the end of fifteen minutes
recessions we're in order with the
market feverish.
On sales of 260 shares made within
35 minutes after the curb market
opened today, American tobacco stock
dropped 10 $50 bid and 460 asked as
compared with $40 and 515 just before
the close on Monday.
IL o'clock-Price variation of to-
bacco shares disturbed trading all
through resulted in concessions in
/ prices that were sufficient to cause
outside selling of many issues. Amer
ican Tobacco 6's declined about seven
points. The As however rose 4 3-S
points.
Governments unchanged other
/ bonds steady.
F. d. Lackey g. Co., say:
THE undertone is somewhat more
firm and the tendency to rally is evil
dence. This London break. is what
the outside public have been waiting
and hoping for, and we believe this
afternoon the market will recover
most OF the mornings loss"
c. l. Hudson & Co., say:
"It is not clear what the Depart
ment Of justice will do with refer
ence to prosecutions. The tobacco
decision was more drastic than most
persons expected, but we note that
most of the men identified with the
company and fnanciers generally,
profess to be glad that the decision is
out of the way"

HOW TO CURE CRAMPS

From Answers.
 Cramp, Who hasn't had a pleasant swim in glorious weather spoilt, at one time or another, by this most pernicous of sudden seizures? But how cheering to know that 1t is not a proof of one's in competence, and that it attacks both good anl indifferent swimmer alike!
 Never bathe soon after a meal, as in- digestion in many cases causes "cramp." Do not, also, exhaust yourself in a vain kndeavor to outrival some opponent, as fthe over-exertion of muscles that haze been little used will prove just as dan gerous.
 This horrible punching of the muscles is generally felt in the calf of the les, just below the knee. So curious Is the sensation of the "knotted' cords that the sufferer seems to lose all reason for tie time being, and is overpowered with min gled pain and terror.
 To effect remedy, turn over on the back at once. kick out the afflicted leg in the air disregarding the pain If possi- lie Rub the spot smartly with one hand, while employing the other in padding 10 keep aioat. To finish off the cure, draw the toes forcibly upward toward the knee. These instructions are for the passib,y good swimmer. As to the beginner-well. he will probably be near the shore and can | he hauled out.

Higher Commodity Prices

Prices which did recede in the spring and early summer months are again advancing. Bradstreet's index numbers show that prices in July are the highest noted since March last. With two exceptions the average on August 1 last was the highest August average in the whole Bradstreet list. Cotton went down, but foodstuffs went up. Fwenty-nine commodities were advanced in July, while 25 were reduced in price and 51 remained sta tionary. The commodities that were advanced include the necessaries of life, such as wheat, corn, beef, pork, milk, eggs, lard, butter, sugar, rice, potatoes and hay. Scarcely an arti- cle of food was marked down in the month of July.
 And yet Congress hesitates to put meat and cereals on the free list. The people of the country-the consumers will have an inning next year, and their vote on this subject will not be a bit uncertain or doubtful. It will be so plain that he who runs may read.

CRAWEORD,s SPEECHES

From the New York Word.
 Senator Crawford can make more noise during the delivery of a speech than any other man in public life He Will walk to and fro. banging the desks until the screws come out, and tossing forth his voice until it can be heard a mile away.
 One of Senator. Penrose's economical constituents heard the rumpus on the floor below and inquired what was transpirlng.
 "oh. Mr. Crawford Is taking little exercise" answered Mir. Penrose. Don | VI orry about it. The government is pay ing him for it and there will be no ex- tra expense"
 Vice President sherman was holding lis hands oyer his ears and looking at MT. Crawford in amazement, when Sec retary Bennett slowly and solemnly climbed up the steps to his desk and said :
 'grhe boys up in the press gallery com plain that they are unable to hear MT. Crawford distinctly. They request that you ask him. to speak a little bit louder.
 "TeI the boys in the press gallery to go to thunder;T yelled MT. Sherman, pull ing his mouth down at the corners.

Free Cereals and Meats

The amendment attached to the free list bill at the instance of Sena- tor Kern of Indiana is certainly ob- iectionable to consumers, and Senator Kern is a democrat. The amendment in question proposes to confine the importation of meats and cereals to those countries with which the United States has reciprocal trade agree ments-to Canada, in short.
 Oscar Underwood frankly ,said at the outset that the democrats of the House would not accept the Kern amendment. In all of MT. Under woods bills an effort is made to re- duce the cost of living, and surely this cannot be done by excluding the cereals and meats of Argentina and New Zealand and Australia.
 The Kern amendment is one of the pieces of legislation that keep in view a small section rather than the gen eral good of the entire country. h. diana farmers may desire to shut out foreign cereals and meats, but con sumers at large do not.
 ' The conferees on the free list pill could not agree on the Kern amend ment. They accepted all the other Senate amendments, and the bill was sent back to the Senate to let the Senate vote again on the Kern amend ment. Let us hope it will be stricken out of the bill. Let the bill go to the President offering free meats and cereals to 9O,OOO,ooO of people. This will directly raise the issue of lower cost of living.

SWANSON QUOTES HERoDoTUs

From the New York World.
 Senator Swanson of Virginia cant TOT get the first political speech he ever made. He was a college boy in the Old Do- nifion, and was much set up by an invi- tation to address crowd in little min- ing town. There were lot of other speakers. Young Swanson was at the end of the list.
 "A big fellow in red flannel shirt .hung out on the edge of the crowd, said the senator, "and,kept pepperingl the speakers with the kind of questions that any child might ask and Solomon him. self could not answer. He had the crowd with him, too, and was making things entirely too lively for the orators. With the rash concelt of youth determined to souech him when my turn came.
 "I jumped up and began: Gentlemen Herodotus tells us
 which tickets he on?' yelled the man with the red shirt
 "Herodotus tells us.' I resumed with a gulp, Of whole army that was put to flight by the praying of an ass.' s'The crowd applauded and I felt fine.
 "Then the mans voice rose above the din. Young feller.' he called, you needn't be afraid for this crowd. It's bin l tested.'"

THE ANTE WAS TOO HIGH

New York Letter to the Cincinnati Times
 Star.
 This sounds like a new story of John w.. Gates, who in his best days made all other gamblers look like old maids play ing at authors According to s. s. Fon- taine, MrH Gates and a party went west to hunt bear. Near their camp was lit tie town One night, for lack of anything else to do. the Gates party rode to town T'here the gambling fever started, and they began a game of poker in the com mon room of the one saloon. The floor was sanded, the lamps were fed by oil, and large persons redolent of the animal industries of the region, now and then taclxed to the bar and exchanged haw- haw repartee with the beer jerker.
 "Ain't that a funny gamer" said New York drummer, who happened to be In the saloon. He was one of those humoro's persons who are not restrained by any tmidity from offering advice.

MemoIi as Italian Bandmaster

Phil Memoli, native of Italy, but for many years a popular citizen and musi- clan of Birmingham, is making quite reputation in the ''old country" He went tc Italy a little more than two years ago for the purpose of studying harmony and composition He took his family with him and when leaving 1t was his intention to remain abroad at least three years. His first work as a student in Italy was under the. greatest harmonist in Europe. but for some time he has been director of a large concert band at Serino.
 The "Gionale D Italia" of Rome of July %, has been received in this city An article in that issue announces that Memo Ii has graduated at the s. Pietro Con- servatory of Rome with the diploma of bsndmaster. He passed the examination without difficulty. according to the paper referred to. His friends and admirers in Birmingham will not be surprised, for Signor Memoli had shown fine ability be- fore sailing for his native land He was not only a good band leader, but good chorus director as well.

Grade Crossings Are Deadly


 In the first seven months of the present year 95 grade crossing acci- dents have occurred in the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecti- cut. In those accidents 59 persons were killed and 67 injured. The prop erty loss included p horses, 37 ve- hicles and IA automobiles, all de- stroyed
 In cities the grade crossing is dis appearing. In the country, however, few townships are ready to bear a part of the expense in abolishing it.. The railroads are more willing to act than the townships.
 In New York the National High ways Protective association is en- deavoring to wake up the people to the dangers of grade crossings, and possibly in that state they will at length be eliminated as they were long ago in England. The latter has never known what the deadly cross ing really is, for the railroads were built, at the outset, either under or over the public roads.

SONG WON HIS FRIENDSHIP

Adlai E. Stevenson, Something of Men l
 Have Known"
 A touching scene occurred in the House of Representatives a number of years ago, when an aged member from New Jersey arose.. and for the first time ad- dressed the speaker. All eyes were turned in his direction as he stood calm ly awaiting recognition He was tall, snare and erect. His venerable appear ance and kindly expression, coupled with most courteous manners, at once com manded attention. AS in husky tones he again said, MT. Speaker!' there camo from the farthest end of the great hall in a whisper, but distinctly heard by all. the words, Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt" A moment later, and from the floor and gal lery many voices blended in the familiar refrain, Don't You Remember Sweet Alice. Ben Bolt?"
 The ovation which immediately followed was such as is rarely witnessed in the great hall. Business was suspended for the moment and the hand of the new member wafmly grasped by the chosen representatives of all parties and seo- tions It was an inspiring tribute, one worthily bestowed. The member was Thomas Dunn English, author of the little poem, sung in palace and cottage which found it's way into all languages and touched all hearts.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Hacking the Commission

| The address of Judge A. O. Lane of
 the Board of Commissioners pointing out his reasons why the saloon would
 be preferable to the dispensary in Bir-
 mingham has naturally been much dis eussed since it's first publication in Sundays Age-Herald Among public spirited and representative citizens who referred to Judge Lanes position
 in enthusiastic terms was Webb w.
 Crawford, president of the American
 Trust and Savings bank. who said Judge Lanes argument in favor or
 saloons is most convincing. There have
 been many able utterances against pro- hibition and in favor of the high H. eensed saloon, but, all in all, l regard
 Judge Lanes discussion as the most
 important yet published. It Is won derfully comprehensive. do not think
 Judge Lane overlooked any phase or the liquor question as relating to Bir-
 mingham. His arguments are simply
 unanswerable Some persons may un- dertake to answer them, but if they do such answers will be strained and will fall flat.
 AS the DuDIlC Wtll hhoN Q, o0Ho
 Lane is absolutely independent in the
 expression of his opinions. He is known to be one of the best lawyers in Birmingham and he Is known to have made one of the best judges that ever sat on the bench here. He has had larger experience in municipal ad- ministration than any man in Bir- rninoham nd when he points out to the public the weakness of the dispen- sary proposition and the reform that would be wrought by regulated sa- looms, all open minded men will give due consideration to what he sayA and vote accordingly,
 Those of us who asked for a com mission form of government are more than satisfied with the results up to this time. We have splendid board of commissioners. It Is giving us a clean, sane and economical 'administra- tion and all our people should support cordially its policies and act in full sympathy with its plans and purposes. When the commission asked for a 1900, 900 bond Issue we rallied to the support of this measure and rolled up a majority that made the vote practi- cally unanimous; and now that the commission favors saloons rather than heartily than ever for the saloon side. If I had been for the dispensary I would have changed and become a sa- loon advocate after reading Judge Lanes telling address"
