INTRODUCE SOCCER
 IN BIRMINGHAM

Soccer is to be introduced, in Birmng- ham. Already the Minor and Moore schools in Ensley have teams, while the Central High school is organizing a team to play this sport, which is new to the south. It has just recently been introduced in the south by Coach Mike Donahue of Auburn. After teaching the team the rudiments of the game Coach Courleux, who looks after the athletics in the public schools, an nounced that 1t was his present intention to form a soccer league next fall.
 Many of the old football players at the Central school have signed up for the team and will soon be out for practice Among those who have intentions of going out for the new sport are Morton, Hubby" Antwine, Lathem Charley Jones, bowman, Wingo, Stockmar, Stephenson Dillon, Cary Robinson, Bailey, Neal. Strange and Smith.
 The advantage that this game has over football is that brute strength nor heavy weight is not one of the requisites of the game. In soccer ball is used as in foot ball. but not as large, and the games con- sists for the most part of just kicking. Batting the ball with the feet and the head is permitted but 1t is a foul to touch the ball with the hands

BROOKS LAWRENCE
 HAS THUMB BURNED
Oil Stove Caught Fire Yesterday at Headquarters and Caused
 Much Excitement

Brooks Lawrence superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league of Alabama, had the thumb of his right hand painfully burned In the explosion of small oil stove yes terday morning at league headquarte on the fifth floor of the Chamber of Com merceS building. A scorching to the desk, upon which the stove was resting, two slightly burnt spots in the linoleum floor covering and a mild sensation in the build ing were the chief points of damage done. The cost of renovation will not exceed si0 and not a single paper of importance was lost in the blaze.
 The stove was being lighted when 1t suddenly became a mass of flames from the oil and in the efforts to extlngulsh the blaze it was thrown to the floor. The burning oil created a quantity of smoke but was soon extinguished by suffocation with cloth and water. A fire alarm was turned it. But on the arrival of the fire addies the only signs of the blaze was a corridor full of excited people and a hazy atmosphere.
 There were several persons in the office at the time of the flare up but the only personal injury sustained was that lu- cured by MT. Lawrence in attempting to move the stove while it was ablaze and this only inconvenienced him for the day. bowl of lnseed oil to extract the burn from the injured thumb was placed on the superintendent desk and he kept his thumb thoroughly soaked in that liquid for the better part of yesterday.
 The stove is as good as ever and the agitation caused by the smoke and ex- citement was soon abated.

FEDERAL AGENT
 IS INVESTIGATING Federal Grand Jury May Take Action on Alleged
 Conditions Here

That a special agent of the Unit ed States department of justice was in this district looking into alleged conditions ex- posed by recent grand jury reports, and that if the report to be made by the special agent justified such a measure, indictments would be asked of the next federal grand jury. was the official state ment of Oliver D. Street, United States district attorney, who was here yester- day.
 1t was stated that the investigation was precipitated by the report of the grand juries to the general effect that a situation almost similar to peonage was creeping into this district on ac- count of the manner some justices of the peace are said to have handled ne groes and i'll informed white persons who have been taken before them.
 If the report of the special agent who is here now warrants it, the evidence will be put before the next federal grand jury when that body is organized in March," said Mr. Street
 He would not disclose what scope the investigation would take, but simply an swered commonplace questions as to what would occur if system of peonage or anything like f was unearthed in this district. The investigator for the depart ment of justice whose presence here has been known to a few persons on the in side for several days, will complete his report within a few days more.

CAMERON DOES NOT
 DISTURB OFFICIALS
Commissioners State They Will Welcome Proposed
 Graft Investigation

Members of the city commission were not disturbed yesterday as a result of the sensational statement of James Cam eron of New York. Neither of the com- missioners perceived the necessity of re- plying to the statement of MT. Cameron that while Birmingham is reported to be free of graft. he doesn't believe that that state of affairs exists here.
 Commissioner Weatherly said: "I wel- come the investigation which Mir. Cam eron states that he will make. I know of no graft practiced in connection with the city government. If he finds any he will have done us service and we will hasten to nail it. It is immaterial, of course what Mir. Cameron believes or doesn't believe.
 Commissioner Lane said: MT. Cam- eron makes no charges. He says simply that he doesn't believe that Birmingham is a city free of graft Had he said this after having made an investigation his statement might be worth consideration. In case he sees proper to visit the city hall we will throw the situation open to him. We will welcome him.
 Commissioner Exum reserves his judss ment until the case has developed Dur ing the day Mir. Cameron did not visit the city hall and if he has mapped out a. programme for his investigation he has not made known the details.
 In yesterday mornings Age-Herald hs was quoted as follows; k
 The city without graft is the way Bir- minrham is known throughout the north and east don't believ it.
 MT. Cameron is known as the graft prober,- and 1t is said that he has un. earthed scandals at Harrisburg. Wheel- ing, Pittsburg. Louisville and other places. He states that he is here to inspect the .inside workings of the local commis- sion government. N.

WILL TAKE UP THE
 WATER RATES SOON
Ordinance to Be Introduced Declaring City Has Right to Regulate
 the Rates

At the next regular meeting of the city commission an ordinance will be in- troduoed declaring that no contract ex- ists whereby the city is restrained from regulating the rates for domestic use of water The resolution will provide for the woking out of the details, and it will subsequently, occur that a new schedule of rates will be drawn up and put into effect.
 It is understood that this resolution will be introduced by President c. Exum. It will have the hearty support of the other commissioners, Judge Lane and MT. Weatherly.
 The introduction of this resolution and the subsequent action of the commission CTS will probably preeipitate a legal con troversy. The company claims that un- der the 30 year contract entered into q number of years ago the rates for the domestic use of water were agreed upon and that the contract has several addi- tional years to operate
