.BODEKER'S MEN
 ARE GIVEN ORDERS
Special Men Detailed to See That New Places Ob-
 serve the Law

Are the saloon men going to observe the law strictly? Ask Chief Bodeker.
 That official last night issued special orders to Captain Eagan and Sergeant Hawkins to confine themselves wholly, for a while, to the saloon proposition. They are to visit the places, according to the chiefs orders, and see that negroes and white people do not mingle at the bars, as they are alleged to have been doing for the past day or two Solid par titions must be built to separate the two races.
 They are also to see that minors are not allowed inside a saloon. Some complaint is said to have been made that minors were taking advantage of the crowds that are frequcnting the drink emporiums.
 The entire force is to be equipped with a copy Of the liquor law within a day or so and Chief Bodeker says the booze dispensers are going to walk a chalk line.
 After Il o'clock the legal time for clos ing Captain Eagan made the following report to Chief Bodeker: .ig
 Birmingham, Ala, September 29, 1911. George H. Bodel1er, Chief of Police, City. Dear Sir: As per your instructions, Sergeant Hawkins and myself have visit ed all the saloons in old Birmhgam sev- eral times tonight and find that every thing is in good order. The proprietors in the places seem to be trying to conform with the law. The partrolmen on :heir beats report that everything is very quiet around the saloons.
 'T respectfully submit the above report of conditions around the saloons as found by Sergeant Hawkins and myself Yours very respectfully, MARTIN EAGAN,
 Captain of Evening Shift"

MONTEVALLO SCHOOL
 IS FLOURISHING
Dr.' Palmer Says Many Were Turned
 Away-Alabama Needs Greater l Educational Facilities

Dr. W. T. Palmer, formerly occupying the chair of mathema tics at the Univer- sity of Alabama but now president of the Alabama Girls Technical jsntitute at Montevallo, was in the city yesterday and spoke of the progress of the latter insti- tuition in very encouraging terms.
 we had to turn away 150 girls this term" said MT. Palmer, "as there was not room for another student Last year our enrolment was 40, this year it feaped to 475, as many as we could possibly care for. As we only spent s200 for the adver- Using of the school We feel that the cur riculem has met with the recognition of those seeking technical education for girls. It is a certain indication that the de- mand for higher education is outstripping Alabama's facilities for this and one of the problems to be solved is the devising of ways and means for enlarging dorfni- tories and class rooms"

Industrial Secrets

From the New York Press.
 Our ancestors had little faith in patent laws to protect their rights in inventions. What they discovered or invented they concealed. Workmen were put upon oath never to reveal the process used by their employers. Doors were kept closed, artis- ans going out were searched, visitors were vigorously excluded from admission and false operations blinded the workmen themselves. The mysteries of every craft were hedged in by thick set fences of em- pyrical pretensions and judicial affirma- ton. The royal manufactories of porce- lain. for example. were carried in in Eu- rope with spirit of jealous exclusive ness.
 His majesty of Saxony was especially circumspect Not content with the oath of secrecy imposed upon his workpeople he would not abate his kingly suspicion in favor of a brother monarch. Neither king nor kings delegates might enter rhe tobooed walls of Meissen. What is erron- eously called the Dresden porcelain was produced for 200 years by process so secret that neither the bribery of princess nor the garrulty of the operatives re- vealed it.
 Other discoveries have been less sue cessfully guarded, fortunately for the world the manufacture of tinware in England originated in a stolen secret. Few persons need to be informed that tin- ware is simply thin iron. plated with tin by being dipped into the molten metal. in theory it is an easy matter to clean the surface of iron. dip it into a bath of boiling tin. remove 1t enveloped with a silvery metal to a place for cooling. In practice, however. the process is one Of the most difficult in the arts It was sl!s- covered in Holland gltar from publicity with the utmost vigilance for in vain to discover the secret until James sherman, Cornisch miner, insnutc1 himself master of the secret and brought 1t home

GIVEUP EVERYTHING
 FOR JESUS CHRIST
Evangelist Jones Breaches on Young Man Who Came Running to Jesus.
 Mems Service Sunday

The largest crowd of the week filled the First Methodist church last night to hear Evangelists Jones and Maxim who are conducting the revival services there.
 Rev. Jones read several verses from the 10th chapter of Mark, and took as his text the words, And he went away
 He said in part, This young man re- ferred to in the text did more than some of you. You have not even come to Jesus. This young man came running and kneeled at Jesus feet. I like man who is in earnest and who acts with en- thusiasm.
 thing, as wealth, social position, or oo- litical prominence in order to have fellow ship with Jesus Christ.
 This young man was no bloated faced reprobate. He was a clean young aristo- crat but he laid aside every mark of his standing and came running to Jesus
 Jesus was honest in dealing with nor- tai souls. He never turned one away, ror tampered with one. He spoke frankly to this young man and pointed out what was in his way-riches. He told him that must be removed.
 Money can't save men, nor can pleas- ure satisfy the heart. He turned away from the one thing that all hearts crave love. Tt grieved Jesus just as the going away of a husband grieves wife or the departure of a son wounds the affections of his mother.
 1T don't know what is in your way, what is necessary for one person to give up may not be the difficulty in the life of another. The besetting sin of one life may not be that of another: but whatever it is do not turn away from Jesus"
 Service for children and young people will be held this morning at 10 o'clock. No service Saturday night. Sunday after noon Rev. Bob Jones will preach to men only on "The Sins of Men, Sunday evening at o'clock there will be a work CTS meeting in the Sunday school room. The main auditorium will not be thrown open until o'clock. This will be the last service of the meeting.
 The feature of the meetings is the n,u- sic of a large chorus led by Mir. Maxim. Mrs. A.. D. Smith and Miss Annie May Cole presided at the pianos, and Miss Corrie Handley at the organ.
 Scores came forward at the close of the service last night saying that they wished to surrender their lives to Christ and live better life.

Marion, September 29.-tSpecial.)-- An exciting incident occurred in the circuit court room Thursday about noon when the jury rendered verdict in the case of Phillip Travis, negro who killed Southern Railway Flagman Fox all. near Uniontown in June
 After the verdict of guilty of mur- der in the first degree deputy sherin made an effort to place handcuHs on the negro to carry him back to jail. He refused to be again shackled and struck Deputy McCully in the face' knocking him down. He next caught bystander's finger in his mouth and almost bit it off. A number of cit < izens rushed on him and he was finally overpowered, and a rope secured and his hands tied behind him. When the trouble first started Judge Miller or dered a number of ladies to leave the court room and later all negroes were ordered from the room as there were many present from that section of the county in which the killing occurred and at first it looked like prear. ranged plan of escape by the aid of other negroes. When finally secured ITdNlS4 pledueu Wlll llle4 Juub1 u ildN C him Killed right now" Travis was sentenced to hang November 10.
 In the case of R. H. Lawson, charged with the murder of negro, Gus Horn buckle, near Spratt, the jury rendered . verdict of acquittal.

Sewed Her Fingers On
From the New York American.

From the New York American.
 Owing to a quick and sl1illful operation by pr. Milliken, of Lincoln hospital, Miss Elizabeth Manaber, who lost the first and second points of three fingers on her right hand in a cardboard cutting machine, probably will get them back. The severed sections were sewed back on the stumps an hour after the accident. and the sur geons think they will knit in their nat ural places.
 Miss Manaber is employed in a paper box factory. The keen, heavy knife of the cutter struck her fingers as she showed pile of cardboard against 1t and nipped them off. She fainted and fell to the floor.
 Her companions were terrified, but one called Policeman Milan. He stopped the further flow of blood. and Miss Manaber was hurried to the hospital.
