ADOPTS LEATHER LEGGINS.
War Department to Abolish Presen,
Expensive Canvas Covers.

The cavalry equipment board has rec
commended the adoption of leather leggins
for all mounted troops and the War De-
partment has adopted the recommends
ton. The board considered the state
ments of more than 400 cavalry officers
and the clothing records Of thirty-five
troops of cavalry and three batteries Of
artillery, together with it's own expert
ments covering more than a year and a
half. The board concluded that leather
leggins were decidedly more economical
than the canvas, wear longer and afford
better protection.
The canvas leggins have not proved sat-
isfactory to the mounted arm and the
board insists that the cavalry will well
come the leather leggins, although it will
take considerable time to supply that
branch of the service. The maximum
cost of the leather leggins will be 81 a
pair.

 BY JUDGE CROW Noise of Street Cars and Vehicles Drowned Out
 Voices

Judge F. C. Crow of the circuit court stopped all traffic on Twenty first street between Third and Fourth ave- nues yesterday afternoon for the req son, he said, that the running of the street cars and other vehicles over the brick pavement interferred with the court proceedings.
 Judge Crow notified the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company to stop running street cars on Twenty first street during court hours. and ordered the sheriff to stop all other traffic. Sheriff McAdory carried out the orders of the judge and had his deputies to stretch ropes across the street at both the avenues designated Judge Crow stated that the heat of the afternoon made it necessary to open the windows of the court room to let in air and that the rumbling Of the street cars and the noise of the passing vehicles made 1t absolutely im- possible to hear testimony in the case at bar.
 These steps have been taken several times by former judges and the street has been temporarily closed during court hours in the summer months.
