Pugilist's Wife in Charge.

Last night they got their chance. Mrs.
Gus Rubin. whose husband was con-
sidered a fairly good prize fighter him
self until he fought better prize fight
ers. was mistress of ceremonies. She
is suffragette. Other suffragettes had
man e corIs. Tie ciut n
that rue. But very militant suffra cites
arrived in coup es and squad. and
were determined that the silly rule
should not be obeyed: And they looked
so severe that the doorkeepers tmany
OF whom had punched prize fighter
rudely on the 'larp y d, rsD
didn't dare to tell the suffragettes that
they couldn't come In without an escort.
About one hundred and fifty wom-n We. .
there.
Among these were the lately divorced
Mrs Suydam. She was with young
Noble. Mrs. Suydam wore low-necked
pink opera gown and a swansdown outer
cigarette. Noble smoked one also.
AS has been aid. the pugi isn was
generally of the daintiest character.
Nothing was permit. ed to offend the
aside. Instead OF fighting almost in the
altoeether the scrappers wore bathine
suits They used eight-ounce gloves. Bis
Gus Rubin was the referee. His wife
stood at the door. clad In a long sra,
coat and diamonds. and smiled at tn.
suirragettes who invaded the homo Of
swings and 'haymakers."
Women Could Not Be Fooled.
First there was q wrestling match.
Both men tried to make II look very
vicious They didn't even fool the wom-
en-. Their most violent efforts were
ereeted with 'aurhter. Then two boys
boxed. After each round they were re-
vived with eau de cologne and taicum
powder Then two little negroes r. ally
did fight. 1t was their only chance to
appear in a real fighting club. and they
pounded away fiercely.
But the women smiled just the same
until, in a lit while. they forgot to
smile and look to clapping their hands
hard whenever one little negro punched
the other hard on jaw. or eye. or nose.
or wind
And when that aforementioned nose
reddenins incident took place, apparent
ly the only thing thai kept the women
from throwinI up their hats was that
their hats were pinned on. One rim SIDE
sutfraeette had a great time Every
blow struck she followed with swim IS
and jabs and uppercu Of her own. But
afterward she aid she wasn't I'm the
least excited She said she regarde
boxing as very tame compared wi "a

HARPER LEAVES THE
 PEOPLES COMPANY
We'll Known Official Gives Up Work He Has Been Doing for Many
 Years

W. B. Harper, secretary and assistant treasurer of the Peoples Home Telephone company, has rendered his resignation as mediately. His resignation was given in to the new owners few days ago, but was not announced until yesterday.
 MT Harper has been connected with the Peoples phone company since its early history and has witnessed the company grow from small proposition to 8 for midable factor in the local service.
 It is announced that MT. Harper will leave for an extended trip north, after which he will engage in looking after some coal land developments in which he is interested.
 MT. Harper has been a resident or Woodlawn for a. long number of years, and has a host of friends in the entire city who will keeniy regret his removal from Birmingham.
 The resignation of Mir Harper is the first change of any consequence to take place since the Birmingham citizens se- ,cured control of the Peoeples company. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Peoples company will be held to- day in the company building, located on North Eighteenth street.
 At the meeting A. l.. Fulenwider will be elected president and Vice President Mcconnell will probably be retained. The remainder of the organization will remain unchanged for the present.
 In addition to electing executive officers today 1t is announced that the new di- rectors will be chosen who will be in accord with the policies of the new man. agement.

THOUSANDS TOOK
 OUTING ON FOURTH
Parks and Amusement Places Were All damned
 With Humanity

To a greater extent than most holidays with events that kept the populace we'll oc- cupied for the entire day and for once no one was heard to complain of the dull ness of the occasion. There was every kind of attraction that could be wished for, including the ball games both morn ing and afternoon, the amusements at East Lake park. the festivities at the fair grounds, and the barecue and picnic at Germania park.
 Everybody was on the go yesterday and there was as much stirring without doubt upon this occasion as there was nearly a century and a half ago when the young Americans took decided distaste for all things English and turned Independence hall topsy-turvy
 Fully four thousand persons wit messed the ball game yesterday morning while the attendance at the afternoon game was variously estimated from six to eight thousand. The number of peo- pie who visited East Lake during the day, it is said, ran to nearly twenty five thousand, while three of four thousand are said to have been at Ger mania park with almost as many at the fair grounds.
 Every arrangement had been made at all places of amusement for a record breaking crowd and it was shown plain- ly that extraordinary accommodations would have been necessary had 1t not been for the rain that set in about o'clock at just the time when the throngs of the city were making ready to enjoy themselves during the long afternoon. As 1t was countless num- bers were kept at home, though there were hundreds who braved the drizzling rain and went to the parks anyway.

BURNING OF GARBAGE AS
 MEANS OF PROMOTING HEALTH
By C. H. MANDY

Much good has been accomplished by fly, and the slogan, swat the fly" has aroused the people to the danger from the disease laden pest. But a still greater danger lies in the fact that flies are still numerous, due in a measure to the ac- emulation of filth and garbage. So long as present sanitary conditions prevail in the outskirts of the city, and in the city proper, for that matter, the menace from the death-dealing fly will continue. Swat the. fly is excellent advice, but burn the garbage" Is better. The magnificent success of the system of incineration em- ployed by the United States army au- tlorities at the vast camps on the Mex ican border. has been the subject of worldwide comment. and what the army has done can be accomplished by the small corporations. school boards, firms and individuals.
 That the accumulation of garbage of any kind Is a menace to health is gen. erally conceded, also that such accumu- lations attract or breed flies in great num- bers, and that tho flies pick up and carry the germs or bacilli broadcast has been demonstrated time and again.
 While. it may not be practical to adopt the system of incineration used by the on the market that can be adopted. not

MORE CUTS ID BE
 MADE BY THE CITY Commission Wants Strictest
 Economy TALK OF THE PLANS Will Be Careful, However, Not To Impair Efficiency and Will Keep Up With Birmingham's Pro- gressive Ideas
TALK OF THE PLANS

President Culpepper Exum of the cons mission and Associate Commissioner A. o. Lane both said yesterday when asked as to further economies in the city ad- ministration that the trimming was not finished by any means.
 MT. Exum said in discussing the work to be done now that the bond issue is over. that street improvements must be authorized. And of a much better grade and character than In the past,'' was the way he put it. we must make Birmingham a place of good living, the city must progress and we must reducs expenses further without impairing tho efficiency of the city. but keep pushing iks forward
 'The bond election relieves the situa- ton. We will no longer have to worry about temporary loans and speculate as to whether we will get the money. But we must be watchful and see to 1t that economies do not stop. There will cer- tainly be further reductions in all cons sstent directions.
 Associate Commissioner Lane, whom later asked as to further economy, said
 
 that where 1t could be done without im- pairing the efficiency of the city admin istration of affairs. costs would be re- duced.
 "It is obviously true that the greater part of needless employees has been re- leased" said Commissioner Lane. But where we find that services may be dis-i pensed with I am sure releases will re- suit. Again, other steps can be taken to reduce the city's expense and these will receive close scrutiny, feel sure"
 It is said there are few remaining de- partments in the city that can be re- duced, but with the utilization Of the North Birmingham light plant 1t is said there will be saved the city S5o,ooo per year at the least figure. Other steps are, said to be contemplated which will tend to relieve Birmingham of the tremendous expenses now being borne.

ANOTHER S5 WAS BID FOR ONE SHIRT Sol Caheen Got a Lovely
 Creation TOTAL NOW S344.90 Age Herald Shirt Sale Seems To Have Struck Popular Chord Judg-
 ing From Numerous Fa-
 yorable Comments

The Age-Herald's shirt sale for the ben eft of free park concerts seems to have struck popular chord not only in Bir- mingham but all over the state, to judge from the newspaper comments already being made upon It.
 Its successful termination was a popular theme of conversation yesterday, and the ladies of the Music Study club were espe- cally gratifed at the result. A more careful checking of the bidders shows that there was one mistake and that the ladies have 8 more coming to them than the first figures indicated.
 It seems that the bidding and sales came so rapidly on Monday that the man who was keeping the books failed to get down Sol Caheens bid of $5. MT. Caheen got what would be pronounced by the society editor as one of the '1oveiest creations" offered during the sale. The addition of this bid makes the total for the Music Study club s3449O, instead of sSS9 90, as first announced.
 The shirt purchased by President Exum of the Board of Commissioners for $50 was duly presented to the man who had agreed to get married publicly at the fair grounds yesterday.
 The revised list of bidders with the amounts rearranged is as follows:

 r. will be remembered that following ar epidemic of typhoid fever the city authorities compelled all dairies to install incinerators While much good has re- suited therefrom. there are still many other concerns and places in the city and county where the incinerators could as profitably be installed.
 There are 50 schools in Jefferson coun- ty, with an average of 250 pupils each. that have no sanitary connections, and many other large concerns are in the same condition The installation of in- cinerators at these places would add im- measurably to the general health of the county. and has been recommended by the county health officer, Dr. H. M. Ross ser, who is a firm believer in the use of the incinerator for the disposal of garbage.
 In the city propert the collecting of garbage and its disposal, Is not only a great problem, but an expensive one. With the use of incinerators the cost of col- lecting would be reduced to a minimum, for all that would be left to collect would be handful of ashes.
 But the greatest advantage would be the healthful benefits of the system which is practical and sure ro burn the gar- bage" would greatly tend to mitigate the fly nuisance with it's attending danger of disease.
