The w. c. Y JJ has sounded call to arms against the tl-prohibitionists who are at present making efforts to have an election called to decide whether there sh.,r he a return of legalized liquor sell ing in Jefferson county.
 Probate Judge J. P. Stiles has in hand an inquiry from the leaders of the W. c. T. U. as to whether that organization rnav he nermitted to have access to the local optionfsts' petition when filed. They want it for the purpose of publishing the signatures and issuing an appeal to the citizens of the county to vote for the maintenance of present conditions.
 The ladies have been informed by Judge Stiles that they will have complete ac- cess to the petitions filed in the probate court Inst as they should to any other records that are open to the inspection of the public.
 The TeYnperance union, in connection with it's letter, has issued the following appeal to the voters of the county:
 orc the Friends of Temperance in Jeffer-
 son County:
 "The w. c. T. U. would call your at +ention to the above correspondence with reference to the petition now being cir culated for the opening of saloons in this county under the provisions of the Parks and the Smith bills We earnestly hope that the friends of temperance and good government in Jefferson county will not he nersuaded to sign any of these peti- tions.
 .It is the purpose of the W. c. T.

We respectfully ask all the electors of the county who sympathize with us IT relieving our city and county of this evil to help us to thwart this effort of the liouor trust to force this traffic on us
 "Now is the time to show whether the people or the predatory business of legal ized liquor selling is to prevail. Will you not come to our aid in this contest, ffrs' by refusing to sign the petition your self, and then by using your influence to keep others from doing so?
 "We regraet that at this time when un der the new commission form of govern ment the. prospect of enforcing the pro hibition laws Is so bright that 1t should 1 be wantonly snatched from us Our f1gh | Is against a powerful enemy, but we be lieve the people of the county will see tha

CITY BASTILE WILL
 RECEIVE ATTENTION
Commissioners Will Investigate Ger tain Practices That Are Said
 to Exist

The city jail will not long remain un- molested by the swings of the commission bludgeon, according to remarks yester- day by Commissioners Exum and Lane at the meeting.
 An ordinance was read and referred to prohibit attorneys and others from lott ering about the city jail and soliciting fees and clients from unfortunates in- carcerated in the city prison.
 Judge Lane in asking that the matter go over let drop the following remarks
 T am looking into that city jail sit uation. They tell me that the practice has been to charge a prisoner 50 cents to communicate with an attorney a friend after being locked up. If that Is true fc~1S an outrage and I intend to look into it thoroughly. If it is true that must stop and those guilty of 1t must answer for this malpractice. I have heard of such practices for some time and I wish this ordinance held up until I can get a line on that wrong."
 The same character of an ordinance was introduced in the City Council, but the commissioners superseded that body before any final action was taken.

PREPARE TO FIGHT
 THE BOIL WEEVIL

Atlanta, May 2.-An energetic campaign of defense against the boil weevil, which is said to be making it's way gradually toward the cotton fields of Georgia, has been determined upon by the state de- partment of entomology and to this end the state legislature will be asked at It's coming session for an appropriation to carry on the work. The cotton pest, 1t is said, is not due to reach this state for three years, and State Entomologist Worsham hopes to have the cotton plant CTS thoroughly instructed before that time in the most efficient methods of combating the weevil One of the meth ods Entomologist Worsham proposes to adopt in disseminating this Information, he said today, will be to have prepared exhibits showing the growth of the wee vii and its ravages on the young squares of cotton.
 The exhibits will be placed in the court houses of the cotton growing counties of the state Cards explaining the work of the weevil and the best methods of re- sisting it's advance will accompany the exhibits.

MANSION SITE
 HARD ID LOCATE

Montgomery, May 2.-(Special)-T governors mansion commission has not yet reached any decision in regard to the purchase or erection of a suitable home for Alabamas s chief executive. This mat ter has been hanging fire for more than two months, though no definite steps were taken looking to the purchase of a governors mansion until some days ago. But once started, the commission seems anxious to finish it's task and an effort will be made again this week to reach some definite conclusion regarding the matter
 Of the 20 or more houses and lots which the commission has examined, there has been some objection to nearly all of them. Houses that might be pur- chased for the governor have either seemed to the commission to be too high or else to occupy a lot that was regarded as too small for the needs of an executive mansion. Other desirable lots have seemed to the commission to be too far from the residential section. or else too close to the business center.
 Tn fact, there has been some objection to practically all the places examined, and it is difficult to even guess what the
  certain, however. that the members of the commission are determined to secure de- sirable home for the governor but wheth- CT they will build or buy, or In either event whether the mansion will be close to the capitol or remote from the state house. is matter about which few are able to speak with any degree of cer- tainty.
 Members of the commission recognize a paramount need for a governors man. sion. At present the governor of Ala bama and his wife are living at the Ex- change hotel, and have been since the inaugural ceremonies in January, last Residents Of Montgomery as well as members of the governors mansion com mission are particularly anxious to see the governor and his family established in a suitable home.
 The commission will go on another tour of inspection this week. It is under stood that several houses and lots that have been offered for sale have not yet been examined, and after these places have been inspected it is believed that the commission will announce It's decision. While there is no way of ascertaining just what the commission will do, it is believed that the officials having the mat ter in charge will condemn a suitable lot and build an executive mansion. It is certain, however, that the commission will reach some conclusion during the present week.

MERGER PLANS
 NOT COMPLETE Meeting Held in New York Yesterday AdjOurns
 Until Today

New York, May 2.-(Special.)-T di- rectors of the Southern Iron and Steel company and the Grenfell committee, which is working out terms for the con solidation of this property with the Ala lama Consolidated Coal and Iron com pany, met today but adjourned until to- morrow without accomplishing more than routine business.
 It was said on authority today that the committee is considering the terms of the proposed merger will not finish it's work for two weeks more at least.
 Gadsden, May 2-(SpeciaL)-A dispatch from New York to the Evening Journal says:
 The merger committee appointed by the directors of the Southern Iron and Steel company and the Alabama Con- soidated company to arrange for the amalgamation of the two corporations. held meeting here today to consider de- velopment of their plans.
 While expressing the conviction that the deal would go through ultimately, Cecil A. Grenfell of the Southern Iron and Steel company said there were a number of important details to be ad- justed before the plans under considera- tion could go through. It would re- quire another two weeks, he thought, to whip everything into shape and get down to a definite basis of action. The pros pectus prescribing the terms and provi- sions of the merger is still incomplete and no valuation, MT. Grenfell said. had been as yet placed on the respective properties. The committee in charge of the matter has reached a conclusion re- specting the capitalization of the new company, the personnel of it's officiers or the name of the corporation.
 The meeting of the merger committee was preceded by the regular monthly meeting of the Southern company direc- tors, at which the proposed consolida- tion was discussed informally, but in the absence of any report requiring its action, the business transacted concerned only the affairs of that corporation.

way into its columns, infcting an injus tice upon any individual will be chee.- fully and speedily corrected when such error or false impression is pointed out. In the news item referred to above, the writer feels that an injustice has been perpetrated against him, inasmuch as the inference is so glaringly apparent that he who runs may read and he kindly insists that the truth of the matter be published and the false impression removed. The horse killed in the accident at Ensley Sat urday did belong to the writer as did also the wagon in the case. The team was hired to a negro junk dealer, who was plying his own trade, and with whom the writer was in nowise connected. The only interest the writer had in the affair was to collect hire for his team.

MAY REARRANGE
 THE ARC LIGHT DISTRIBUTION

President Exum in suggesting this refor- nation said on Highland avenue, as an example, lights were placed every few feet in some localities, while four ana five blocks on other parts of the, avenue were unprovided with illumination. The discriminatory distribution was comment ed on by the commissioners.
 The city pays a heavy rate for the arc lights and it is stated better system of distribution will not only save the city positive revenue, but will result in the more worthy provision of better lights in Birmingham.
