JUDGE CAMPS CASE IS QUASHED AGAIN Defendant Not Served With
 Summons COMES UP JANUARY 15 Proceeding Brought Against Judge Camp for Alleged Neglect of
 Duty and Improper Opera
 tion of His Court
COMES UP JANUARY 15

Impeachment proceedings against Judge c. F. Camp of the Ensley in ferior court were stayed yesterday when service was quashed for the sec ond time by Judge c. c. NeSmith in the first division of the city court. The hearing of the facts now go over until January b, the attorneys for the de- fense, Bell & Borden, having accepted service for that date and all the wit nesses having been instructed to ap- pear at that time without further sunl- mons.
 Grounds for the quashing of the serv- ice for the second time were found in the allegation that the defendant, c. r. Camp, had not been served, but that a copy of the summons and copy of thes information was served on Allen & Bell, his attorneys
 The proceedings were brought by the state through Circuit Solicitor J. k. Tate after an investigation into the of fee by the states special examiner of accounts, H. Y. Brooke. The allega- lions are neglect of duty and improper operation of the criminal business of the court.
 When the case was first called it was postponed because the city clerk had not included in the service certain all legations made, but had placed them on the back thereof The case was postponed yesterday on account of error in the service Judge NeSmith sum- moned before him Sam M. Blake, tre city clerk, and Sheriff McAdory, to show cause why they should not be charged with the expense of the court in the stance of postponefnent, and the sheriff in the second for failure of service The city clerk succeeded in satisfyin g the court and the sheriff will later show that Deputy James Merriman, who served the summons, has gone to business.
 There was objection on the part of J. R. Tate and Jesse Stallings, the at torneys for the state, to further de- lay and they asked that the hearing be set for the first Monday in Janu- ary. The judge held to his original decision to hear the case on January 15. After the ruling of the motion to quash and the resetting of the case. the hearings of the demurrers and the settling of pleadings was continued. The ruling of the court will be an- nounced this morning and it is prob able that all the pleadings will be set tied at this session of the court.

NEW SORT OF LODGE MEETING

Sister Blankenship came round. Con- fronting her, Deputy Steele said, Anna Blankenship, I hereby charge you with unlawfully, illegally and otherwise so- liciting membership in fraternal and benevolent society not licensed to do bus mess in the state of Alabama. as per the warrant sworn out before the Hon. L H. Benners, a judge in and for said county and state"
 The same process followed until L. J. Frazier, A. J. Farley, A. R. Hollings- worth, L. H. Harrison, Charlotte Proc tor, Sahar Black and W. 0. Adams were corralled in the choir lost, which served as a temporary stockade. Seeing that he was in tight pickle, Adams eased pistol from his pocket and was slipping it into a sacred nich in the pulpit when seen by Deputy Steele. A charge of carrying a concealed pistol was then placed against him also.
 At one juncture of the proceedings some of the negroes began to complain about the thing and orally to deplore their plight. Deputy Steele, who seemed to be running things. seized the gavel and banged on the table for order. A deep, dark silence followed and by force of habit, one or two of the noisiest ne- groes of the crowd lodged as if he thought that Deputy Steele was going to throw the gavel.
 They were brought to the county jail Part of them made bond last night and were released. The warrants were sworn Tout before Judge l. H. Benners

NEGRO WOMEN TO
 FIGHT DISEASE
Colored WOmen's Anti-TubercuIOsis League Organized Yesterday.
 Will Establish Camp


 The Colored Women's Anti-Tubercu- losis league was organized yesterday afternoon by a band of women of this race at the home of the wife of a negro physician, Dr. Thomas. The league is organized under the direction of the Women's Auxiliary of the Jeff ferson County Anti-Tuberculosis asso- citation. Zenia M. Thomas, as promoter of the movement among the colored women. called the meeting together, and Mrs. Richard Johnston, president of the Women's Auxiliary, made a short ad- dress, setting forth the motive of the league.
 The women who assembled for the purpose of definitely launching a prac- tical club that will keep in touch with negro homes that are infected with the white plague, instructing them in the best methods of isolating the persons diseased and using the proper sanita- tion, even in the poorest houses, are earnest in their desire to play a part in the campaign against the disease. The Women's Auxiliary of the Jeffer- son county association has for some time been anxious to awaken the negro leaders to the necessity of organizing the work among their people, who con- tribute the majority of cases to the county list of tuberculosis patients.
 The earliest endeavors will be the sale of the Red Cross seals to raise funds to erect well equipped tent at the Red Mountain camp for negro pa- tients This will be the first provision made at the camp for negro cases and the prospects are good for installing women present yesterday afternoon an- nounced that she could practically as- sure the association the donation of a tent She is Nellie Perry, member of the board of trustees of colored society.
 The league will affiliate with the negro woman to be employed as nurse by the Anti Tuberculosis association and will map out definite plan of study, with addresses to be made by physicians relative to the care and pre- vention of the disease. The treasury disbursements will be made for such literature as will aid them in becom- ing better instructed in the waging of the fight.
 The officers elected were as follows: President, J. T. Thomas: vice president, B. J. McCaw; secretary, R. Reece; treas urer, w. H. Perry; assistant secretary, A. R. Bell. Among those present were M. R. Jones, D. r. Brown, A. Brown, w. B. Driver, IT. R. Hairston, A. M. JJutchinson l., C. Mims d. P Phillips w. H. Black. These women will be in creased to 25, which will be the limit of the membership of this central league. The league will be sub divided with similar associations throughout the district. The meetings will be held weekly on Wednesday afternoon at the homes of the members.

DECIDE ON TIME TO LIGHT WHITE WAY Believed Hustlers Will Light Up Saturday Night EVERYTHING READY Question to Be Decided This Morning Is Whether or Not to Wait on
 Lower Third Avenue
 Lights

Unless the Third Avenue Hustlers cast a majority vote to postpone the turning on of the current to light their
 White Way posts at their meeting this morning, the opening ceremonies of the new light system along the avenue be- tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets will be held Saturday night. Everything is in readiness for the lighting tonight, but the delay is made
 with a view of affording the Boosters
 of Lower Third Avenue an opportu-
 nity of having their post installation
 completed, thus lighting the entire
 three and a quarter blocks at the same time. The Hustlers have arranged for a brass band and other features will mark the initial gleam of the beau tiful posts that the merchants are anx- ious to light for the holiday shopping season. Saturday is considered d very admirable time as a large number of people will be down town and the open
 ing would inaugurate the late closing hours of the stores that is to continue through the season of preparation for for Christmas It is believed the Hust-
 lers will vote to light up at once.
 Just previous to the general meet
 ing of the merchants composing the
 membership of the Hustlers the com
 mittee of the Great White Way. includ-
 ing Colman Blach, Bert M. Jacobs and
 J. II. Holcomb. will hold an important
 conference and report their attitude
 rega rding the matter. There are many
 arguments advanced for either side of
 the case The present expense of light ing with the streamers will be greatly reduced by the lighting of the posts and according to the expectations of many of the Hustlers the posts were to be put into commission as soon as they were finished.
 The overhead arcaues or streamers of smaller lights have been ordered
 taken down Thursday night, resulting
 from an agreement reached between the Hustlers committee and Mir Under- wood of the Birmingham Railway. Light
 and Power company, who is doing the construction work Of the installation
 of the posts. This will leave the ave- nue in darkness Thursday and Friday evenings and will no doubt heighten the effectiveness of the flood of brilliant nght on Saturday night.
 The whole matter rests with the Hustlers this morning and the outcome
