POPULAR JACK CURRAN IS
 CALLED TO ETERNAL REST

There was a tinge of sadness about the proceedings of the recorders court yes- terday morning Before being opened by Judge Black the news came that Jack Curran was dead. In the midst of pro- found regrets the court proceeded to transact the usual bushes.
 Call the first case said Judge Black. A strange voice called out Jack Gra- ham, Standing by the clerks desk was uniformed officer filling the place held by Jack many years. Just as Jack Used to do when the case was disposed of, the officer drew line across the name and called the next
 Jack Currans case was called by the Supreme Judge of the universe and a line drawn through his name. It seemed only few moments since he stood at his post, which will know him no more.
 But though he is dead he will not soon be forgotten Genial and big hearted, clever and courteous, faithful in the dis charge of his duty, he made many friends who sincerely mourn his loss. Good bye Jack, thou vert called before the last earthly tribunal. Until the final judg- ment may Thy soul rest in peace.

"RULE OF REASON"
 FOR THE GROCERS
Understood That This Will Be Ap- piled in Modification of the
 Charter

It is generally understood that the case of the United States against the Southern Wholesale Grocers association will end nthe application of the rule of reason to the organization.
 The statement of O. D. Street to the ef- feet that that the decree is not agreed upon for an absolute dissolution" is taken to mean that the southern assoca- ton will receive the same reorganization as has been indicated for the American Tobacco company and the Standard oil company
 It is gathered that the department of justice has indicated how the organiza- tion may operate within the meaning of the antitrust laws. and that rear rangement of the charter and bylaws will be effected.
 This proposition was made repeatedly to the departmen of justice, and it is under stood that If the association quits the alleged illegal operation the department will be satisfied. Although this is true, Assistant Attorney General O. F. Harri- son, who has assisted in the dissolution suit was quoted as saying in Brming- ham some months ago, 'If they have vio- lated the laws, should they be allowed to go unpunished if found and proven eililty?"

BIRMINGHAM BOYS
 BACK FROM HAITI
Have Spent Three Months in Island Where Revolution Is
 Raging

After three months in Hayti while the revolution was in progress, the party of Birmingham civil engineers engaged to work on the railroad in that republic reached Birmingham yesterday with the exception of Vert II. Peace, who remained in the troubled island. The engineers returned from the work of their own accord and while the work is said to be continuing, nevertheless there was evidence, they say. of some trouble ahead. which made Birming ham look better than foreign port.
 The Birmingham boys relate strange experiences of the late rebellion in Hayti through all of which however, the American interests were fully pro tccted.
 The party included Norman Orcutt, Oliver La Point and Jack Neil Eight additional engineers passed through Birmingham en route north.

MAY ADVANCE MEAT PRICES
 AT HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS

There is trouble in Birmingham over the meat question. For a number of years the packers have been supplying the large hotels and restaurants with meats direct without their passing through the hands of the retail butchers. The retail CTS objected to this arrangement. and it it is understood that the packers have agreed beginning some time next week, to supply no meats except to regular re- tail butchers
 The retailers expect this to force the hotel and restaurant men to buy from them.
 The hotel and restaurant keepers have made strenuous objection to the new ar- engagement They claim it is unjust not because of an increased profit they must pay the retailer but because the local butchers do not carry large enough stocks for them to get suitable selections.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Value of Circus in Town

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 The writer noticed in your valuable morning paper that there will be branch postoffice in the fair grounds That cer- tainly will be a great convenience as well as the phone booth. This recalls a pleasant feature of a convention l at tended in San Francisco. They. too had branch postoffice When the exercises were held many people had their mail ad- dressed there. In that same building they also had small spaces with partitions of canvass. and above each door the name of a state that could be seen all over the building No one seemed to be in charge, and there was nothing of value in there. It made the stranger feel so welcome and so much at home when the name of his own beloved state flashed be- fore the eye. All were anxious to go in and register In the little book We met there the first place In the morning and the last at night 10 see who had come from Texas since morning. It was very amusing to see the people rushing around reading the little notes and cards pinned on the canvass. No secrets, for | everyone Tn there 1tdu lntlli III StaiNi of message from a friend or perhaps just some one from home. Many friend ships were renewed, long forgotten friends of other days met again by that means. The scene reminded one of children hunt ing their names on a Christmas tree.
 And again, we had a nice little visit at the headquarters of our sister states, and it all afforded a great deal of pleasure. and I am sure left a lasting impression.
 I have also heard that the circus will not be here. Some people say they do not believe in them because they take away toe much money. The people who attend the circus feel that they have received full value for all they have paid out inas- much as they have had a good time. We who have the pleasure of a good show in long winter evenings and moving pie lures by day and night, know not the lonely hours of the country people. l feel sure they all enjoy good circus. Though they do complain of, the three rings being so hard to watch all at the same time 1 have been in close touch with the people who live in the country, my father having been county treasurer for long number of years. And we kept open house, Liberty hall as It were They came and went when they pleased. And on circus day l have heard them planning what they would do the next year on show day. The thrifty farmer spends his money freely on circus day. My father used to get extra help for the store on that day, and took In many dollars that otherwise would not have been spent Had the people re- mained at home. maybe they could have pulled through without going to town and spending so much money. ~
