NEW COUNTY BILL
 WILL HAVE NO CHANGE
Bessemer Will Take Matter BefO the Legislature to Keep the Subject
 Alive for Future Reference

It is understood in Birmingham that no danger threatens from the new county agitation which has been started by Bes- semer. In fact, the Bessemerites realize that it is hopeless fight. but they say they will push >their bill, go down and appear in it's behalf, though they do not expect to receive much encoura cement
 we simply don't intend to let single legislature pass without showing them the need of new county for Bessemer" said one of them. By and by We will find a sensible legislature which will give us what we ask
 While Birmingham will be on the watch for any danger, local people feel that the legislature will not tamper with some thing which the people of the state have once voted down, and are willing to trust the fight entirely to their repre- sentatves.
 The sentiment connected with pr. Rags dale in the handling of the last bill, which was the main feature which Birmingham had to contend with, is now absent, and there is really nothing to popularize the bill at this session.

POLICE START WAR
 ON CITY'S MIGRANTS
MOVED FROM SIDEWALKS AND ALLEYS, AND SIDEWALK BEG- CARS WILL HAVE TO MOVE ON

Chief Bodeker has begun a crusade the beggars who are seen on the streets The chief has issued instructions to the officers of the police depa rtment to see that the beggars are kept moving and that vagrants who hang around the pool rooms and soft drink stands of the city must be driven off or locked up.
 The order issued yesterday to the de- partment follows;
 No boot-black stands will be allowed city of Birmingham.
 'No beggars will be allowed to sit on the sidewalks and in the alleys. You must keep them moving.
 Also look after the vagrants around the pool rooms and soft drink stands. Arrest those you can convict and notify others that they must obtain work.
 "BODEKER, Chief"
 The chief is very indignant about the number of beggars sitting on the streets and the crowds of negro loafers that col ect around the boot-black stands. He is determined to break 1t up
 There is nothing more unslghtly than dirty beggars sitting on the sidewalks of the city, said the chief last night, in speaking of the coming crusade. ''The majority of these are not deserving, and at night can be found in the dives of the city spending for drink the money they have begged. The beggars who sit on the sidewalks make good money. l expect some of them average $10 or more day There is a city ordinance which prohibits this and I intend to break it up.
 Another class of people that are very annoying to the citizens are the crowds of loafers that collect around the boot Jack stands and soft drink places. The most of these are vagrants, and l intend to break them up l have issued such orders to the department and l expect to see them carried out. The beggars and ioafers must gO,'

'DRENNEN PLANS ARE
 ABOUT COMPLETED Raging of Present Buildings
 Begins April 1 COMPLETED BY OCT. 1 D. M. Drennen says Plans Are Practi- cal1y Finished and They Intend
 to Have Formal Opening in
 New House October

k That plans for the sx-story home of Drennen X Co.,, on the southeast corner of Second avenue and Twentieth street are almost completed and that ground would be broken about April 1 was the announcement of D. M. Drennen of that company yesterday.
 The architects are now engaged in com pleting the various floor and general plans
 for the new mercantile establishment which are approved or turned back after being checked over by MT. Drennen. MT. Drennen said yesterday the leases on the stores which will be demolished will
 not expire until April l, but that imme- diately following that date contractors would be set to work tearing down the old
 buildings and getting ready for the exca- vation of the new department store.
 The cost of this new place will be ap-
 proximately $100ooO, and 1t will be in reality seven stories high, as modern
 basement will be a portion of the con- struction and will take the place of a floor
 MT. Drennen said, yesterday that the
 
 in the new home October 1, this year.
 The store was announced several
 months ago by Drennen & Co. to be con-
 structed on the site occupied now by the
 Brown cigar store and adjoining build ings.
 Discussing the plans yesterday MT. Drennen said:
 "The architects will have our plans com pleted in about one week and they will be approved doubtless at once. We have the leases beginning April l, and immediately after that time he will put men to work tearing down the present stores and mak- ing ready for the excavations. We are sure to be in the new store by October l.. "We hope to have fine weather and no
 unnecessary delays in the work and if we
 secure this we will not fail to have an
 opening on that date. All our plans in a general way have been decided upon and
 all that is to be completed is the archi-
 tect's drawings. They will be ready for us In short time.
 The building we will erect will be
 modern in every detail, will be highly
 decorative and an ornament to the busi-
 ness center of Birmingham. We have plans which will call for the erection of a mercantile establishment equalled by few such plans in the south. "Our firm will at the completion of this
 building, occupy the site first occupied by Drennen & Co. In this marvellous city. Our company started here without any great capital and backing. We have been erection of modern mercantile home for our stores here. In our new building we will carry broad line of every sort of
 merchandise and will maintain depart
 ments for everything. Our ambition is to progress just as fast as Birmin gham.'

CITY MAY RECEIVE
 MORE THAN $25,OO0
TITLED TO SUBURBS SHARE OF THE COUNTY ROAD AND BRIDGE FUND

The city of Birmingham, according to City Attorney Boyd will not be satisfied with the $25,0OO which the county agrees the city is entitled to draw as its share of the road and bridge fund.
 Birmingham will get the share of the municipalities which have become a part of this city since that claim was sued,' said MT. Boyd. This should bring the total up to about s40,O00.''
 The city attorney has examined the supreme court decision carefully, and has come to this conclusions: I've have established the fact that if the Board of Revenue draws up its tax levy prop erly the, city is entitled to half of the taxes which it pays into the road and bridge fund every year.
 Now 1 don't believe, in the future, that the board will so word its levy that Birmingham cannot at least get half of the road taxes which it pays into the treasury. Such common justice as that cannot be denied, by men who probably owe their election to the people who live within Birminghams city limits''

ALL EQUITABLE
 OFFICES CLOSED

Out of respect to the late Paul Morton, president of the Equitable Life Insurance company, whose sudden death in New York Thursday night was made known here yesterday, the local offices of that company will be closed today.
 The Equitable offices all over the United States, of which there are great num- Der. will today close in silent honor of the dead chief executive, whose taking away was inexpressibly shocking.
 In Birmingham the officers of the com pany were not personally acquainted with their late chief, but in various imper- sonal ways they had come to know him well. His death created profound regret not alone among Equitable officers, but among others of the large insurance fra ternity here
 He was known as one of the progressive kind of insurance men, and went into the Equitable to rescue that company from an impending crisis, according to the general understanding. He was known among some Birmingham men who were in Washington when he was Secre- tary of the Navy. His death in New York was received here with regret in all circles.
