CITY COMMISSION STANDS
 BY WORKERS TRYING TO
 ROOT OUT TUBERCULOSIS
Exum and Weatherly Both Willing to Give Much in the
 Past and May Even Decide Increase the Appropriation

Almost the entire session of the city commission was taken up yesterday morning with pleas for the anti-tubercu- losis camp on Red Mountain and the arguments in favor of the citys increas- ing its appropriation caused other inl- portant questions to be sidetracked until some later day.
 No less than a half score persons spoke to the commissioners TOT more money and when the committee departed it was with the assurance of President Exum and Commissioner weatherly that the minimum help would be equal to the 1911 appropriation of s250 and perhaps more would be given. Judge Lanes only state ment was in defense of publication last Sunday morning in reference to an all legged typical case and motion to pass the matter over. His statement did not carry any intimation that he would favor giving the association more than it is now receiving from the city,
 Impassioned appeals were made by the Rev. George Eaves, secretary of the association; Dr. Morris Newfeld, Mrs Richard Johnston, S. ]. Bowie, J. B. and pr. Samuel Ullman for the old ap- propriation at least, or even more money than has been heretofore given.

appeal for the camp, and said: ''It is not necessary for the city to provide places such as this for the rich man They have money to puy the services of physicians and nurses. They can se- cure good food and can search the wide world for a suitable climate. We ap- prove this fully. because it is the poor worklngman whose family consists of q wife and perhaps two or three children who. when stricken with the fatal draught cannot stand the strain. It is the man who tolls in dust, In sweat and in grime, that we appeal to you for aid. Those who have scarcely enough bread while work ing. those who can scarcely provide the necessities of life. It is for them that such places as this should be maintained. This camp is doing a work unequaled In this community and they have brought succor to a vast number of indigent per sons. It is the duty of the city to main tain this camp and I hope I may re- port to the council that you have raised this appropriation

Eaves ana his associates were striking In their defence of the anti-tuberculosis camp, and replete with statistics and statements showing the work that has been done. memorandum for four typical months of operation was shown the commission and passed around among those present.

TOM LONG THINKS WILSON IS WINNER Backs Judgment by Odds
 of 10 to 1 PROGRESSIVE VIEW Scott Says Attempt on Roosevelt's Life Will Not Lose Him Votes.
 Colonel Would Have Been
 Elected Anyway

Tom l.. Long of Jasper believes that Woodrow Wilson will be elected Presi- dent of the United States.
 He believes 1t strongly-so strongly, in fact that yesterday he expressed the willingness to bet ten to one that Roose welt will not land the job
 The representative members of the pro- gressive" faction in Birmingham might not believe way down in their hearts that Roosevelt will be elected but they think that there is hope enough to war rant them covering money at odds of 10 to 1.
 Therefore. R. A. Perryman. manager of Roosevelt's campaign in Alabama, accept ed the challenge of the gentleman from Walker.
 MT. Long deposited sIoo and MT. Perry man s10 with Clerk Dameron of the Hotel Morris, and the money will be decided.
 There is general belief among the pro gressives" that the sensational attempt ito kill MT. Roosevelt Monday night will rebound to his political advancement.
 Captain Charles H. Scott of Montgom- cry while in Birmingham yesterday said; "We are going to elect Roosevelt
 When asked if he thought that result would obtain as a result of the attempt of a fanatic to murder the former Presi- dent, Captain Scott shook his head.
 NO" said he, T do not think that attempt at murder will put Roosevelt again into the chair of the President, but 1t will not cause him to lose votes. have always felt that Roosevelt would win The tide is turning Look out for the Ides of November"

EXUM SAYS CITY
 IS NOT HARD UP"
Makes Measuring State ment About Condition of
 the City's Finances

For the first time In many months a city commissioner has said openly that the city of Birmingham Is not hard up." or words to that general effect. And a no less well informed perz son than President Culpepper Exum yesterday at a commission meeting gave vent to ss rather optimistic state nent in reference to the city's financial condition. In the course of his state- ment Mir Weatherly interrupted Mr. Exum with the observation: "I was pretty well convinced that we were 'broke,'" which evoked considerable laughter from those attending the meeting
 Mir Exum said: 'I want 10 say that sa far as I have been able to calculate the money of the city we are not hard up. Our comptroller has figures here and he Is a pretty reliable man. which indicate that we have money enough to pay our obligations without any possible trouble of course, we cannot pay the inherited deficit but so far as bills are concerned we have the money right here. l feel that we are new within our income safely and all this talk about being hard up is to my mind rather far fetched

Some of them were old timers and had been up before on a similar charge They were lined up before the judge and not one of them offered any defense, apparently will ing to take the Jail sentence they knew was coming.
 Hand mo the deck" said Judge Alb to the clerk. T surely ought to draw a good hand out of this bunch."
 Clerk Bonner handed tho judge bunch of warrants, which the judge shuffled and then commenced dealing himself a hand, or rather laying out the warrants on the desk as though he was playing solitaire. After looking over the entire deck he selected five and looking up said:
 "I thought recognized some of these defendants; have held these cards be- fore, and. believe me, 1t is a hand strong enough to open most any jackpot"
 T am out of the game myself" said Jack Greener. What have you got?"
 Three queens and a pair of jacks'' an swered the judge as he handed the war rants to the high sheriff.
 "A full house Is hard to beat" com mented Jack as he presented the three women and the two men Gall negroes) before the court.
 we will try the three graces' first" said the judge, "as I expect to do a lit- tie raising at this stage of the game"
 The women were brought before him and after questioning them he learned that they had been before him several times and for the same offense.
 Here's where T go the limit, and I re- gret that limit has been placed on this game. for l learn from experience that only long sentence does any good in a case like yours" he said. "A F months vacation at one of the country sites pro vlded by the board of revenue Is your portion, where you will be required to con tribute to the cost of your keep by a daily interview with the washtub A diet of SOW bosom and black eyed peas will be given you so that you may recover your former health and strength. Present the two black Apollos."
 The two men were brought before the judge. In addition to using the deadly coke they were charged with peddling the same to the rest of the unfortunates.
 Tn your case the limit Is raised and you get the full extent of the law, $500 ana l2 months. For some time past you have been drawing to fill, but have only sue eeeded in landing a bob tailed flush. For u year and a half you will find steady em- ployment with the county and state. Remove the prisoners, and the judge stepped down from the bench
 "What did Judge Alb call them womenY' asked Sheriff Jack of Clerk Bonner

 "I suppose he meant grace, disgrace, and axle grace" replied Jack with grin as he left the court room with the bunch of prisoners.
