nile gap between Sharpsburg and Shep-

BOWIE IS HEARD
 BY COMMISSION
Makes Another Argument Favoring Site of the Anti-Tubercu-
 lOsis Camp

President S. J. Bowie of the Anti Tuberculosis association with Mat Sloan and Hugh Martin appeared before the commissioners yesterday and made an other plea for the establishment of the association camp permanently on Red mountain where it is now temporarily located. After a speech from MT. Bowie the matter was referred to Commis sioner James Weatherly and the board of park commissioners for final action. joint meeting between the two com missions will perhaps result for the purpose of settling the controversy.
 The most unlocked for move of MT. Bowie was a letter he read from Miss Alma Rittenbery In view of the fact that Miss Rittenberry has spiritedly opposed the request for a long lease by the association the letter was of more than passing interest.
 MT Bowie made what was designated as an able argument for the permanent lease on the city property and it was said among those who heard him that no one has addressed the commission with such convincing argument since that body has been trying to solve the problems of this city.
 MT. Bowie reviewed the appalling in roads which are being made by the dreaded disease which the association is trying to combat. He gave instances where such hospitals are located within the very heart of cities and no i'll af- fects occur therefrom. MT. Bowls read letters from experts wherein it was said that if proper precautions were taken no chances or risks are taken by such a camp as the one proposed on Red mountain. It was pointed out that the camp there now has been operating some time without affecting anyone seriously or otherwise.
 MT. Bowie closed his argument by assuring the commission that he would be pleased at any time to give them the most minute details of the great charity and would be glad to carry any of the body to the site at any time.

"The present agitation on the liquor question Is one fully worthy of the deep and earnest consideration of every citi-
 zen of this great county" said John W. | Altman. That statutory prohibition has
 been a failure is conceded by everybody who is unbiased and unprejudiced. and who is familiar with the present condi- | tions prevailing in the city and county. I say this advlsedly and challenge a satis- | factory denial of the charge
 Tn the first place, when the prohibition laws were enacted Governor Conner made
 the assertion that they would be enforced
 even at the bayonet's point. A prohin,- | tion jury commission was appointed with
 absolute powers In the selection of Jury | lists.
 "A law and order sheriff was elected appointed to rule the destines of the city.
 That these officials have tried to do their
 duty in the enforcement of the law is
 conceded by the prohibitionists them
 selves, for when Mr. Beddow mentioned
 the name of A. o. Lane at a recent meet
 ing of the prohibitionists the applause
 was loud and prolonged.
 | Yet. In spite of these conditions favor able to the cause of prohibition. blind | tigers have waxed and grown fat : the H. | legal sale of liquor has continued; whole sale arrests have been made with few or
 no convictions; contempt for law and decency has been fostered; perjury and ttxr. ha,,
 rest and disturbed conditions have been and are in evidence; while the report of
 the agents of the prohibitonists them selves acknowledge failure
 Prohibition is good in theory, but bad in practice. It undoubtedly works we'll in the rural districts. The dispensary sys- tenn may be worked out advantageously in small cities, but in a city of the size and importance, of Birmingham it has always proved failure and in my opinion always will
 prohibition has been tried in the bal ance and found wanting I might call at tention to the older states, not one of which has been disturbed by the prohi- bition wave, now happily receding. The question with them is settled, even Maine proposes to throw off the old Man of the Sea that has been disturbing element for the past 50 years and has proved a intolerance to the cause of temperance in stead of help.
 "The older states have adopted regu-
 ation and high license. Instead of high handed dictation, that produces rebellion
 in the mind of the average American citi- zen, they are teaching temperance and moderation with far more benefcent re- suits than are accomplished by the mis- taken policy of force and coercion. be- leve the high license saloon to be the practical solution of the much mooted question from a moral and every other standpoint"
