Sacred Alamo Used as a Place to Sc
cure Victims.
Texas News Service Special
San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 21.-The
old horse race game that was tried
some years ago and worked quite
successfully in Missouri, Iowa, Ne
braska and other northern states,
came tonthe surface here yesterday,
those operating it using the historic
Alamo as the place to secure victims.
Hundreds of people from all parts
of the United States visit the Alamo
daily. Their plan was to approach
some one who looked easy and
show him a racing card on which
they had just won snug sum, the
alleged races taking place at a track
in California. To prove they had a
sure plan they placed few bets and
in a half hour had the assurance
they had won. This usually induced
the easy ones to invest five or ten
in eve0 instance a winning was rv-
ported. This game was worked upon
a couple of North Texas farmers who
were visiting here and their luck ran
so easy that they finally invested
$1,000 or more. Just at this stage Oh
the game Sheriff Tobin made his

TIGERS ON LABOR DAY

'Talk about Labor Day. Help." cried
 Officer Moore of the blind tiger squad
 last night as he surveyed the pile of slips
 before him indicating that he had made
 no less than ten arrests in company with
 his partner Darnell during yesterday
 This has been Labor Day with us for
 fair," he sighed as he thought of the
 weary day at court in which he would try
 the prisoners.
 Moore and Darnell were about the bus fest officers on the force yesterday. They ranged all over Birmingham and made numerous arrests. The day was auspici- ously started when they raided very ldfficult tiger place on Nineteenth street and caught three casks of beer "on the wing" as 1t were. Fs
 Now Moore usually has sudden feeling Ithat the present is good time to make a raid He dubs this feeling "hunch." As he and his partner were strolling leisurely along Nineteenth street yesterday he sud idenly gasped and without word to Dar- Inell set out down Nineteenth street at top speed. Darnell is a fairly intelligent man

COMMISSION MUST
 ESTABLISH RIGHTS
Quo Warranto Filed Against Montgomery Excise
 Commission

Montgomery, September 4.-(SpeciaL) The quo warranto proceedings against the excise commission of Montgomery, which were filed late Saturday after noon in the circuit court of Montgom- cry county, have given rise to consid- erable discussion In this city, both among the prohibitionists and local op- tionists.
 Tl~ case is styled "The State of Ala bama, ex rel w. B. Crumpton, vs. Arthur H. Montgomery. George W. Halls and Richard G. Banks" members of the ex- else commission. The proceedings att tack the constitutionality of the pres- ent state liquor laws, and seek to have the members of the Montgomery. ex- else commission show by what right they are holding office.
 Judge w. w. Pearson of the circuit court, has set September 12 as the day for the hearing of the proceedings, at which time the respondents in the case have been ordered to appear in court.
 The attack upon the Montgomery ex- else commission is regarded as pre- liminary step for a state wide fight against the Parks and Smith bills, the fight in this city being in the nature of test proceedings.
 Local optionists of the city profess that they feel little concern as to the outcome of the proceedings, claiming that the constitutionality of these bills was suf- ficiently thrashed out before the Parks and Smith bills were enacted into law. On the other hand, many ardent prohi- bitionists claim that the state liquor laws show fragrant violations of the Alabama constitution, and they declare that the decision of the court will be against the Parks and the Smith bills.
 The chief attack upon the Smith and Parks bills. hinges largely upon section +, of the Parks bill, which reads as follows That te provisions of this act shall not become effective until there shall be hereafter provided by law regulations and restrictions for the conduct of dispensaries and for the issuance of license to pri- vate dealers for the manufacture and sale of said liquor.
 The proceedings set out that the Parks bill has never become effective in that no valid legislation has been enacted meeting the requirements of the 17th sec tiOn.

COFFEE CONCERNS
 CITED ID APPEAR

Montgomery, September 4.-tSpecial)-A list of the coffee concerns that have been cited to appear at the capitol at Il o'clock their products has been furnished by the state agricultural department, with whom the charges against these companies were filed by State Chemist B. B. Ross. The department announces that there is one case each against the Alabama Grocery company and the C. D. Kenny company of Birmingham, and the Brock Grocery com pany of Montgomery. Against the Batter ton Coffee company of Birmingham there are five charges in all, the specific causes of complaint being adulteration with chickory and cereals. The charges against the first three companies allege adulteration with chickory without the brand so stating. These charges of adulteration all grew lout of reports submitted to the agricll- tural department by State Chemist Ross, whose investigation was made at the re- quest of the state pure food department. The cases are set for hearing at Il o'clock Tuesday morning at the office of the com missioner of agriculture.
 In justice to the coffee dealers it is stat ed that the adulterated materials, which lit is claimed they have introduced into the coffees, are not injurious or deleterious to health. The law, however, requires that, when such materials are mixed with the coffee, the packages should be branded so as to show that the coffee is not pure coffee.
 "The idea is,' said Commissioner Kolb, that man who buys pure coffee should get it and not a mixture containing some thing that is cheaper. He is not getting what he is buying, if the label does not state that chicllory cereal is mixed in the goods
 In the notices sent out to the several coffee dealers, the following language is |used
 You are hereby notified that, in ac- cordance with the provisions of section ? |of the food and drugs act approved Au- gust 26 1909. the commissioner of agricul- ture and industries and the attorney gen eral will on Tuesday, September 5, at II a. m., meet in the office of the commis- sioner of agriculture and industries for the purpose of hearing and determining the matters in said report'' (Report Of |state chemist)

At the Orpheum

Probably the most wonderfully real %istic and artistic production in the mo- tion picture line that has ever been seen in Birmingham Is the the film of Dante's Inferno which is being shown this week at the Orpheum. From beginning to end the picture is true to the spirit of the great classic, and 1t is of inestimable value in placing before the masses treasure for so long known to only a few scholars in such beauty that it canont fail to be appre- ciated.
 The pictures consist of one hundred scenes, representing every phase of the poets imagined passage through the realms of the under world. From the moment when the poet finds himself lost in the trackless wilderness in the midst of human life. and finds his way to salvation blocked by the panther of lust. the lion of pride. and the fema le wolf of avarice, to the time when he emerges with his guide, the poet Vergil, to the light of the stars again, no de- taif of the wonderful effects Is lost. The most horrible and awe-inspiring scenes depicted in words by the immor- tai Dante are faithfully reproduced on the canvas.
 Guided by the poet Vergil, who has been sent to Dante by Beatrice, who represents the embodiment of pure and uplifting womanhood. Dante passes through the nine circles Of hell. behold : ing the tortures of the. unbaptixed. the iustful. the gluttons. the evil spend thrifts. across the Styx to the city of

 Does President Markham's refusal mean that a strike will be called on the Illinois Centra1?" he was asked. "I suppose it does, if our representa- tives now in charge deem 1t advisable e to carry out the ultimatum delivered to President Markham"
 When asked if the action of Presi . dent Markham would have any effect on the action of the advisory board of the federated shop employees of the Harri- man lines, which meets here Friday, he answered.:
 "Of course. If President Markham has refused to meet representatives of the federation there will be something doing"
 While MT. Kline denied he had heard of any action as yet regarding the call ing of strike, he intiraated that mo- tices to union shop men hold them selves in readiness to strike tomorrow without further notice, probably would be posted throughout the Illinois Gen. tral system tomorrow morning.
 Paducah. Ky, September All. S.
 Kieley, member of the advisory board of the Federation of Illinois Central Elm Pioyes, gave oul lue lOllOWldB SldleIhtnt over the telephone late tonight: "The notices posted at the Illinois Gen. tral shops today calling for a strike Tues day were absolutely unauthorized, and I have no idea who posted them. I shall institute a search for the perpetrators, as believe it was done for the purpose
 of injuring our cause"
 r. Bell, secreary of the local branch of the federation, said:
 'I have not received any message from President McCreary about the posting Of strike notices, at the Illinois Central here today. One thing Is certain, and that is that the strike would not be called in such manner if called at all." San Francisco, September 4-"No strike on the Illinois Central has been author
 ized by anyone in authority" said Presi- dent J. w. Kline of the Blacksmiths' and
 Helpers union, tonight. If there is a
 bulletin in the Paducah shops to that effect, it has been issued without the
 sanction of the international presidents of the unions involved, who alone have authority to call strike"
