JUDGE CATALAN
 CHARGES THE JURY
Birmingham Bank Failures to
 Be Investigated
SPEAKS OF PERJURY
Says Crime Has Become Very Common Benson Cain Foreman of Grand Jury-Petit Jurors Organ
 ized for Week

The grand jury for the January term of the criminal court was empanelled yes terday, and an oral charge was deliv- cred by Judge M. Frank Cahalan. Petit juries for the week were also organ ized but the cases set for the first day in the first division were passed until today
 Benson Cain, assistant cashier of the Birmingham Trust and Savings company, was chosen foreman of the grand jury. The other members are as follows: Adol- phus Parsons, James Bailey, Samuel F. Oliver. Archibald A. Hogan, William Jesse Liee John w Riley. Oliver ". Wells, George A. Miller, Jasper H. Ken nody, Ed Lambeyt, Perry E. c. Yam, Theodore Tucker, James Faulkner, Joe Tucker. J. William Minor, James Downs and James C. Everett.
 In his charge to the grand jury Judge Cahalan laid special stress on bank fail- ures which have occurred during the past year, and charged the jury to investi- gate such failures.
 "There have been two bank failures during the last 12 months" said Judge Cahalan. "and the court charges you that they be investigated. About 5000 indvid- ual depositors had placed their savings with one of these banks, and there was s1oG000 on the accounts which had re- gently been put there. When the receiver took charge, however, there were only a few thousand dollars I do not say there was anything criminal in the failure but 1t is a matter of no small seriousness for a person to lose the savings of a lifetime The court charges you to look into such failures. If you find evidence of any fra ldulent conversion of funds, any col fusion to defraud, the court charges you to return indictments against lender and borrower as well, if such seems the preper course"
 Judge Cahalan also declared that the crime of perjury is in too general prac- tice He advised the jury to consider the motives of people presenting charges be- fore the grand jury, and to act accord ingly in finding indictments. He in- structed the jury to find indictments for violations of the prohibition and gaming laws, but to use discretion in indicting persons guilty of only misdemeanors.

 Many Repairs at Steel Mill
 Notwithstanding the fact that the steel mill is shut down, there are many men at work at the plant making the neces- sary repairs and improvements. The steam lines and water pipes are being overhauled and all leaks stopped. The electric cranes and other apparatus are being put in first class shape, and the safety department is installing additional guards against accidents. Everything will he done to put the mill in first-class order by the time the mill resumes, which will be about the middle of the month.
 Police Circles Quiet
 There was no session of the police court held in Ensley this morning, owing to the holiday.
 Police court circles have been very quiet since the holidays, and but few ar rests have been made. Owing to the gen. eral reduction of the police force about eight men have been suspended in the Ensley division. This will necessarily leave a large part of territory uncovered and enlarge the beats of the men re- tained

 ous will result from their plans. On the contrary, am inclined to the be- lief that by the re-apportionment the southern states will gain in the num- Der of their representatives. In other words, believe that hereafter Ala bama will have 10 congressman and that Jefferson county will have one of it's own. In case. this result obtains, Jefferson will take its place as one of the three counties in the south which have congressman. At the preS- ent time Jefferson county, Kentucky, wherein is Louisville. and the parish of New Orleans have congressman of their own."
 MT. Underwood believes that the re- vision of the tariff downward will be undertaken by the democrats without fear of failure and that wisdom will so govern theIr actions that the pres ent good prospect of electing a dem- ocratic president in 1912 will not be disturbed.

OUTBREAKS MAY
 ORGANIZE HERE

Rev. W. c. Schaeffer. Jr., pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, Atlanta is spending the week in the city canvassing this territory looking to the organization of an English Luth- eran church here. MT. Schaeffer was here several years ago to investigate this field as the emissary of the mis- sion board of his church, but the work was not undertaken at that time owing to pressing calls from many other sec tions of the south. The matter will be prosecuted energetically, however, and for the first seS eral months the movement will be pushed and fostered by the Atlanta congregation.
 While southern Lutherans comprise communicant membership of only 5O,OOO adherents, the denomination ranks third in this country among the Protestant bodies. Throughout the world there are over 75.000,000 Luth- erans, aggregating as many as all oth- CT Protestant denominations together.
 MT. Schaeffer will spend the week in the city at 1903 north Sixth avenue, Peoples phone 2384, and desires to communicate with any Lutherans who will assist in the cause he represents.
