500 Men Employed.

A Miami dispatch says: Over 800 men are employed in development and construction work at the Inspiration mine. Sinking of the development shafts continues, also the main west working shaft, which is now over 60 feet deep. It is intended to sink this shaft 1000 feet for the extension of ore from the Live Oak ore body. The new Ingersoll-Rand compressor of l,2OO cubic feet capacity is now in operation at the portal of the Inspir- ation tunnel and the development of that ore body is progressing rapidly, New dwellings are being erected to accommodate the increased working force, and grading is being done for the pumping station at the dam of Plnal creek.
 Preliminary figures give approxi- mately 2,7O0,OOO pounds as the produc- tion of the Miami Copper company for June or about the same as for May. There were mined S9,900 tons of ore during the month. One churn drill is at work proving up the northeastern part of the property and a Sullivan diamond is in operation on the 57O level exploring the ground below that level. It is reported that ore has now been disclosed for distance of nearly 800 feet below that level.

MAY CONSIDER V|ADUCTS TODAY
City Commission Will Hold Regular Meeting-Water
 Rate Report

The regular weekly meeting of tho city commissioners will occur this morning at 10 o'clock.
 In addition to the regular routine business to be disposed of, it Is prob able that matters of importance will be considered. Since the city attorney has reported that the commissioners have the authority to order the con struction of viaducts wherever in theis opinions one is needed. it Is expected that this matter will be broaehed to- day. The majority of the commissions CTS believe that active steps towards the construction of viaducts for the protec- ton of life at grade crossings should be taken at once.
 It is probable, too. that City Attor- ney Boyd will be ready to make his re- port t,concerning the city's authority to order arrangement of the charges of the Birmingham WaterworlSs com pany for the domestic consumption of water This matter has been under consideration for several weeks, and will result, 1t is thought, in the begin ming of an agitation for the purpose of furnishing the people of Birmingham water at decreased rates. Another mat ter that may be considered today is in reference to the collection of license taxes from the waterworks company and the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company. As Is known, these corporations have declined to pay the amount of the licenses demanded of them on account of section 36-F of the new revenue bill which provides that intangible property taxes shall be applied against the collection of license taxes As has been stated. the city is Investigating into the constitutional- ity of this section
 Judge Lane announced yesterday aft ernoon that he would bring to the att tention of the commissioners today the new ruling of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company in reference to the issuance of transfers. He con- tends that the transfer of the company should be good for the passage of an individual on all car lines which ex- tend in a general direction. Tn other words" stated he, "I should be per mitted to go home on either of the several cars which pass within block of my residence"

ALL COURT ROOMS
 FOUND OCCUPIED
Courthouse Too Small Yes terday Morning to Handle
 Volume of Business

For the first time in the history of the present courthouse of Jefferson county all the available court rooms were oc- cupied. and Judge J. P. Stiles of the probate court was obliged to hold sit ting in the rooms of the board of rev enue in a contested will case in which q jury was demanded. The session was brief. however, and was finally adju- dicated by agreement.
 When the will contest case was called il was found that jury was demanded The present quarters of the probate judge not being arranged for jury trials, it being the custom of Judge Stiles to use one of the divisions of the other courts for this purpose. Yesterday morning, however, found every court busy in all it's branches and every court room occupied. Four divisions of tho city court, two of the criminal court two of the circuit court, the chancery and probate court, two. divisions of the court of common pleas. the inquistorial court held by the grand jury and cor oner's court, making a total of IA courts of the county in session.
 The euOfl ol Juu6e otiieS to llhu a place to hold court caused much com ment around the courthouse, many be- ing of the opinion that new court house was absolutely necessary. There were those, however, who contended that the present quarters were amply large enough, and what was needed was more expeditions manner of dis posing of the cases on the various docke cts, claiming the multiplicity of cases being largely due to frequent eontinuances. In the second division of the criminal court S2 cases were marked up on the blackboard. Of this number only five were disposed of, the other 27 passed to a future date.
 Judge Greene however, took up one of the capital cases and held court un- til the hour of adjournment.

DESPA|N BOYS
 ARE SENTENCED Jesse Given Twenty Years
 and Will Ten MOTHER IS AT COURT Evidence of State Proved That Boys Robbed Store and Postoffice and {, Seriously Wounded Young
 Micklewright

We. the jury, find the defendants guilty as charged in the indictment and fix the punishment of Jesse Des- pain at 20 years In the penitentiary and Will Despair at 10 years
 This was the verdict returned by the jury. in the first division of the crim- inai court, Judge Caha1an presiding, in the case of the state of Alabama against Jesse and Will Despair, two white youths. charged with highway robbery and assault with intent to murder.
 Jesse Despair is about 21 years old, his brother Will about IS, At the time of the commission of the crime for which they were convicted yesterday they resided with their widowed moth CT at Avondale. A pathetic feature of
 the case was the mothers presence at the court room yesterday. Sitting be- tween her two boys, listening earnest lly to the testimony that fastened the grave offense on her sons.
 The crime alleged to have been com mitted occurred on the 18th of last May at Argo. According to the testi- mony of the state the two boys en' tered the store, which is also the post office, of T. A. Mieklewright at Argo and finding it in charge of young William Micklewright, son of the pro prietor, made him prisoner and roppeo l the register and cash drawer.
 After this act they compelled young
 Micklewright to go with them some
 distance from the store, where they
 kept him prisoner over night On theii
 departure next morning they ordered | him to run and as he started shot al him twice, the bullets taking effect 1 in his head and arm Leaving him TOT
 dead, they disappeared. The young
 man was not able to make his way back to the store, his injuries, while
 being severe, were not dangerous. The elder Micklewright notified the author l tiles, with the result that the boys were arrested and several articles al- legged to have been stolen found in their possession. They were commit
 ted to the county jail without bond and were found guilty yesterday

HARAHAN WAS ALWAYS
 FRIEND OF BIRMINGHAM
BY CLYDE W. ENNIS

terday morning in the most tragic man ner.
 He travelled in California last winter, but came back home few months ago. He could not remain out of work. so the Rock Island engaged him to become pres- ident of the Arkansas Memphis Bridge and Railroad company, s1O.0oO.0o0 corpor- ation. The purpose of that company is to unbotte Memphis from the grasp of the Frisco as relates to a bridge across the river there. MT Harahan was III charge of the work, Vice President Mel cher of the Rock Island was the design ing engineer, and Bridge Wright was the attorney. They were en route to Mem phis to look after some local details when the crash came and death followed.
 The death of Mir. IIarahan and the other officials was exactly the same as that of the late Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern railway. The last named official was killed when his car was tee- | scoped by another train. while MT. Spen cer was asleep in his private car en route to a point in Georgia for hunt. Both officials died in their private cars. l President Harahan leaves two sons, l. | T., Harana, Jr., who comes here often and who Is connected with a railroad supply | house, and W, H. Harahan, vice president i of the Erie railroad, under Fred Under
 wood, and two daughters, besides | widow

TELL HOW C|TY'S
 MONEY IS SPENT Boys Club Assured of Home
 With S100 a Month TAG DAY RETURNS
Salvation Army Rescue Home Gets S75, Which Is Put Into Gen eral Fund to Defray
 Expenses

Pursuant to inquiries instituted con corning the expenditure of the monthly stipends granted to the various charities by the city of Birmingham. Mrs. J. B. Reid, third vice president of the Boys club, and Ensign Beddle of the Rescue Home of the Salvation Army yesterday told how the money which they receive is spent,
 The $1O0 given the Boys club by the city or Birmingham each month goes into a general fund that is in the hands of the treasurer. Mrs. w. D. Nesbitt, for disbursement as the bills arise, and with out any stipulated purpose for any one check" said Mrs. Reid yesterday
 "But this amount exactly covers the rent paid by the association for the for the Boys club, the Children's Aid so- ciety and the juvenile court. as we feel sure that the clty's money will defray this expense. While we have never set aside the city's aid especially for the rent, we regard 1t as an assurance that this will be met for when one has roof overhead one can manage to pro vide the rest somehow. Besides the state and county take care of the finances for the upkeep of the juvenile court, and the board of control of the Boys club, in cooperation with Superintendent Ralph S. Barrows. has jurisdiction over these matters for this organization.
 'Our principal source of income is from the returns of Tag Day. as we never make an appeal to the public except at this time. for we try to avoid being public charge. But every citizen of Greater Birmingham should be interested in the relief work we do for the ill treated and destitute children through our association and we always invite any investigation into the nature and character of our endeavors."
 Ensign Beddle who is the resident offi- cer in charge of the Rescue Home of the Salvation Army. on Thirty-third street and Avenue E, south, said yes terday in reference to the disposal made of the $75 given them monthly by the city commissioners:
 ''The municipal donation goes into the treasury that meets the running expenses of the home. We are free from rent, as we own this building The light bills, heat and grocery accounts, as well as medicine and physicians services must be paid for and the $75 contributed by the city, combined with the s37 from the county form our main support.
 we are in need of a much larger house or another home to add to the facilities of this one, as we are rapidly outgrowing our present quarters and be- ortp ff,y fn bn otra tions. Many of the girls who come here are not financially able to pay the fee charged by us for those who have the money to defray their entrance, so it re- quires good management to make our money serve our purpose to the best ad- vantage"

How Society Woman
 Wards Off Wrinkles

aWrlnkles are not strangers to me. but when I acquire such disfgurements know how to lose them in a hurry" A we'll known society matron confided this to me I had wondered how she, with her strenuous social duties and late hours, could so completely ward off the usual marks of care and dissipation.
 "I don't wear wrinkles in public. nor those horrid rings beneath the eyes, she cvontinued, since I've learned what plain, ordinary saxolite will do. When any of those hateful marks appear, l send
 to the drug store for an ounce of pow dered saxolite and a half pint of witch hazel. l mix the two, bathe my face in the solution and-thats the whole se- cret. I've never tried anything that works so miracuously. My chin Is in- clined to double; this trouble. too. I keeI in check in the same way. Emily Dean in Town Talk.
