MUST PASS ON ALL
 GAS TANK PERMITS
Hereafter Such Matters Will Be Han- dled Directly By the
 Commissioners

Hereafter all permits for the cree tion of gas tanks in the city of Bir- mingham will have to come directly through the commissioners and not through any subordinate department as in the past. An ordinance was intro duced at the commission meeting yes terday by Commissioner A. O. Lane which requires all tanks to be first passed upon blythe commissioners be- fore work Is started.
 The ordinance grew out of con troversy between citizens of Wood lawn and Ensley and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. The citizens protested against the erec- tion of storage tanks near their homes The commissioners promptly ordered work on the Woodlawn tank stopped until an investigation was made. It is said the company immediately obeyed the commission order but later 1t Is said the tank was authorized at Ems ley by permit of the building in- spector. No indication was given yes terday that the commissioners would revoke the permit issued to Ensley.
 Judge Lane in speaking upon the matter said from time to time the commissioners would be petitioned in respect to such matters and it would be we'll to have all such propositions come to them first
 Hearty concurrence was received on the part of President Exum and Com missioner Weatherly.

GELDERS TALKS ON
 THE EXCISE BOARD
Suggests Men Who Would Be Inflexi- ble in Performing Their
 Duties

'I regret that some of my friends have misconstrued by recent interview in The ASe-Herald," said Louis Gelders. Know ing my activity in behalf of sanely regulated liquor traffic for Birmingham, my friends have had no little amuse- ment at my expense this week for ex- me ssing myself as doubtful of the work
 ing of the Smith bill But what I really said is this, and of it am convinced that if the governor appoints on the excise commission men like Capt. John G. Smith, Dr. Samuel Ullman. and Judge John H Mller-men who will be as con- scentious and infexible in the exercise of their duties as our splendid civic com mission. then the prohibition laws can not be abused either by a 3O-room hotel CT any other. This is a question which must be decided without rancor or preju- dice. that the greatest good may accrue to our community and that we may be forever freed from the evils of the blind tiger"

l negro nurse employed by one Of the most prominent families has a pro- pensity for getting into trouble with the police
 She Is very competent and indus trious and outside her scrapping pro- clivities makes an excellent servant. l The other day she did not show up at the usual hour and the head of the house after making due inquiry went down to the city jail to locate her if possible.
 He secured permission to look over the dozen or more women confined in the city bastile. but none of them an swered the description of the missing nurse.
 The mans wife was indlsposed, so he was very anxious to secure the services of a woman until the erring nursemaid returned He held a consultation with the war den and learning he could secure the release of any of the women by pay ment of the fine assessed against her, and as there were several fairly re- spectable looking women in the bunch, he decided to make the best of a bad bargain and hire one of the prisoners.
 The women were lined up again and the gentleman made an offer to pay out any one of them who would hire out as nursemaid.
 Not one of them spoke. He repeated his offer and assured them of kind reatment Again the silence was as marked as that of some of the county candidates as to their views on the prohibition question.

MOORE IS PLEASED WITH THE OUTLOOK Local Option Literature Will Be Ready for Distribu-
 tiOn This Week

All reports emanating from the local option headquarters last night indicated that the campaign for local option in Jef- ferson county was progressing nicely, and the officials feel very optimistic over the situation.
 Increasing numbers of citizens are com municating with Chairman Jones G Moore to express their wish to help ln the approaching election and commend him very highly on the stand he has taken.
 Preparations are being made to can vass the whole county thoroughly and bring out every voter on election day It is expected that the pamphlets in refer ence to the Smith bill that are being pre- pared will be ready for distribution in a few days.
 This pamphlet will give valuable infor- nation in regard to the Smith regulation bill and to show the effects of prohibition not only in Jefferson county, but in the state and in Tennessee and, Georgia. It will show that statewide prohibition is much harder to enforce than the local option laws; that there was no decrease in drunkenness under statewide prohibi- tion: that the statewide prohibition laws have created a class of lawbreakers that were practically unknown previous to their enactment.
 It is expected that the country districts of Jefferson county will poll large ma iority for the legalized sale of liquor. and this in itself will show what change in sentiment there has been since the local option campaign of 1908.
 Chairman Jones G. Moore stated yes terday morning that he was greatly pleased at the personnel of the excise commission for Colbert county, which showed that the governor was careful as to- his appontees.
 Information is expected early from the probate judge as to when the date of the election will be given out.

COMMEND THE WORK
 DONE BY CHARITIES
McGrath Appears Before Commission and Explains
 Where City Money Goes

You are doing good work" was the felicitation of the Board of Commission CTS to the Associated Charities yesterday when Secretary William M. McGrath ap- peared and made a short statement at the Invitation of the board The sentiment of the board was first expressed by Pres idcnt Exum and followed immediately by similar statements from MT. Weather ly and Judge Lane.
 The invitation of the board to the As sociate,, Charities that a report be made 10 that body as to the expenditure of the city appropriation arose from request that a full fare ticket be furnished an ap- rlicant by the city.
 MT. McGrath gave a detailed statement of what was done with the city money end other moneys, and in a short space of time convinced the commissioners that the work was carried on in the best way possible. s f.
 I have heard complaints frequently about the delays of your association in giving relief,9 said Judge Lane.
 We always inquire as to the truth of an aplicants story" said MT. McGrath '',Hhat is the only way we can handle it For instance, we have frequent requests for tickets to this city, accompanied by the statement that certain relatives will take care of the applicants. We must wire first and get a report to the truth of the story. It is apparent that if we did not investigate, such propositions we would be imposed upon to a great extent While we are Investigating an applicants story we always provide them with food and lodging and oftentimes with work Where there is no pressing urgency we write, but where the case is urgent we telegraph.
 "The association Is a member of the national one composed of some 300 cities and we have an agreement not to send wiring the association in the city to which the applicants desire transportation"
 The finale of the examination of MT. McGrath was a request of the Board of Commissioners that he report every month to President Culpepper Exum as to what had been done the month pre- ceding. This Secretary McGrath readily agreed to do
 The commissioners are appealed to very cften, in fact almost daily. to render clarity to some one. Complaints, per haps unfounded, have been made and the disposition of the commissioners has been to take counsel with the Associated Char ities and find out the exact status of af- fairs. The result as, far as the commls- sioners is concerned was highly satisfac- tory

OXEN ON FIFTH AVE.

It is a long jump from the OK to the auto as means of power and locomoton, yet the medieval OK and the modern auto were seen side by side yesterday afternoon on Fifth ave- nue, Birmingham.
 Plodding along the avenue yoied to- gether as in the days of Abraham, were four teams of oxen. They were slick, fat and apparently as. patient as de- picted and quoted, yet they were un- mistakably disturbed by their strange surroundings. s.
 Two white men, typical of the coun- try, had them in charge With long whip and shrill cries of Gee" and "Haw" they drove along their patinet yet seemingly weary and footsore charges.
 There were

Autos to the right of them, Autos to the left of them, Autos in front of them,

Yet onward they plodded
 The sight of the swiftly moving and somewhat gorgeous cars, evidently filled them with misgivings, for they gazed at them with startled eyes and exhibited fright by their actions.
 It developed that they belonged to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company and were employed at a lum- Der camp hsyond Wylam It was cer- tainly a revelation to learn that the Tennessee company, notwithstanding g its vast development, its most modern equipment, it's newest and most up-to- date appliances, its monster locomo- tives and powerful motors, still found a use for the OK of ancient history and biblical lore.
 The oxen were being transferred from the lumber camp at Vivian to a point near Henry Ellen. As the teams passed The Age Herald building on Fifth avenue they showed unmistak- able signs of distress.
 The drivers stated that If they got to .Woodlawn they would camp for the night and obey the part of the fourth commandment relative to giving, cattle a rest from their labors on the Sab bath.
