SCHOOL BOYS DO
 WEED CUTTING

San Antonio, Tex, May 2.--(Special.)- Weed cutting in many cities in Texas has taken a new turn. Some time ago the school boys in a small Texas town organized a number of weed-cutting com panies, each one with officers to direct. To each company was assigned a certain section of the town in which to make war on the weeds, and when the work was done a committee decided which had done the best work. Three days later there was not a weed in the streets or alleys in the town and the boys have decided to continue their organization. But this is not the best thing that has grown out of this effort. Other cities got cue from this work and now there is talk of making the boys organization for weed cutting purposes statewide.

1t looked mighty ugly, and wanted to know what l wanted him to do. l re- ouested that the Birmingham Grain eX- change would require that he go out of business which he said he would do and would not handle another car.
 Now when this committee called al the mayors office we went there feeling that we would have the full cooperation and sympathy of the mayor and nearly every man on our committee so expressed himself but we were sorely disappointed to find that such was not the case, ana we found that MT. Petersen, the auditor was the only man that we came in con tact with that showed any disposition to aid us in investigating this matter. He was full of it and rendered us invaluable service in our investigation. and l feel like it would be a crime against decency and society if this man should suffer on account of this matter.
 'I have papers in my possession to sub stantiate the above facts, and the auditor is receiving additional information in re- ply to communications sent out and be- lieve that the good citizens of Birming- ham who want an honest administration will stand by this honest man in his hour of trouble.
 Now that we have an opportunity to do so we should abolish the mayors of- flee and name as commissioners three nlRn ClaSS men, DullI OI IHo OTu6F Ol Judge Lane. w. c. AGEE."
 Petersen's Reply
 The reply of MT. Petersen to Mayor Exums official communication of Sunday morning follows:
 "The controversy between Mir Exum and myself is not a competition in the use of epithets and vituperation. I leave that field to MT. EXum, as he seems much stronger there than on facts. Every word contained in my signed statement is true and Mir Exum knows it. He replies in mass of evasons and generalities. He makes up in harsh words what he lacks in facts. He even admits that he told me I would have to line up. His only ex- cused Is that I misrepresented his mean ing.
 My motive for making these facts pub. lie should be apparent and clear. Gov ernor O'Neal was about to appoint the Birmingham commission. AS city off, cial 1 had come into possession of facts which throw light on the qualifications of MT. Exum and MT. Jones, who were aspirants for the places. It was my duty as citizen and an official to lay thess facts before the governor. l went to Montgomery for that purpose. I found Governor O'Neals office crowded with persons seeking audience, and believing the facts should be put in writing, l did so and left two copies in the hands of one of the governors close friends to be sub mitted to him. I did not care to act in the dark and was willing for the state
 ments to be given to the public 'I know that I did only my duty, and | I am proud to have been able to serve | my city 1 would have been traitor | to it had I remained silent under the cir cumstances.
 1T do not charge MT. Exum with mis- 1 conduct in connection with the changing 1 of the minutes. The dates of my state
 ment will show that it did not take place during his administration.

BENNETT IN FAVOR OF
 UNDERGROUND WIRES
Writes Letter to George A. Mill Ter Approving the
 Plan

plan Of Illuminating the city has been presented to Chief Bennett of the fire de- partment and he approves of it. The plan provides for all wires in the busi- ness district to be placed underground and this is a thing for which Chief Ben nett has contended for some time.
 The chief has written letter to George A. Morris who is advocating the new plan, giving his reasons for his approval. The letter is as follows:
 February 27 1911. MT. George A. Miller, City:
 Dear Sir-I take this means of ex- pressing to you my hearty approval of your proposed plan of illumination for our city, recognizing the very decided ad- vantage that will accrue to this depart. ment when your system will have been installed.
 "Appreciating the many advantages our merchants derive from well lighted streets, We have felt a hesitancy in enter. ing a vigorous protest against the arcade system, at the same time we realize the serious obstruction it offered to quick and efficient work to this department because of the numerous wire arched across the streets. delaying the erection of ladders and adding additional hazard to adjoining property. "On numerous occas sions we have urged that all wires in the business part of the city be placed undergrouna As I under stand it, your plan provides for this l method of installation, which is step, if but a short one, in the right direction. For the above reasons the fire depart rnent wishes for you every success in your undertaking. Yours very truly, "A. V. BENNETT. "Chief Fire Department"

has a very difficult comedy scene to do in the first act with MT. Bartling and his work in that one scene was sufficient to stamp him as a very able actor. In the heavier moments of the play he is equally at ease as is the Countess Dagmar There is something refreshing about the work of MT. Finn that pleases.
 J. H. Lewis plays Baron Dangloss, minister of police, and does it In very pleasing manner. He portrays the gruff but kind hearted old martinet very ably and won much applause for his efforts last night
 Louis J. Epstein as Gabriel. Prince of Dawsbergen, shows the conventional villain. He is nothing out of the or dinary but is up to the standard set by the other members of the cast. Sitsl1y, from the Bowery. is amusingly played by Billie Lackaye. Quinnox Is faithfully shown by Paul R. White.
 The play as presented at the Bijou this week is well worth seeing and all who read the novel will find the characters faithfully portrayed on the stage as the author shows them in the book, which is as pleasing as meeting old friends. J. B.

TELEPHONE COMPANY
 IS NOT PENALIZED

Jackson, Miss, Fbruary 27-A de- cision favorable to the Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph company in suits against that company claiming penalties due the state for the alleged violations of the antitrust statute was handed down by the state supreme court here today.
 The court held that the telephone company as a common carrier was un- der the supervision and direction of the railroad commission, and as that body had approved the tariff rates in effect any violation of the tariff should be adjusted through the commission.
 The claim for accrued penalties in the aggregate had the case been af- firmed would have run up to $l,o00,o0O on the basis of 5000 day for each day that the alleged discriminatory rates had been charged. running through a period of about four years. The case came to the supreme court on an appeal from the chancery court of Prentiss county.
