JACKSON ID AID
 CHARITY PROBE
Business Men Will Pass Upon Worthiness of Char
 itable Institutions

r. NJ. Jackson has accepted the chair pointed several months ago by President Sibley of the Chamber of Commerce to investigate charitable institutions
 The committee is known as the chari- ties subscription investigating commit tee It WI be the duties of the com mittee to investigate all charitable in- stitutions in the city that depend upon the public for support and make sure that they are worthy of the aid. In this way the business man will know that the money he subscribes for charity reaches a worthy place. A committee of this nature has been in force in Chicago for some years and they report that the plan works admirably. If an institution is investigated and found to be worthy 1t is given a card by the officers of the committee. When seeking subscriptions from the business men the representative of the institution shows the card and the man may feel positive that his subscrip- tion will be well placed.
 There has been a little trouble in Bir- mingham along this line and the investi- gating committee was appointed some time ago. The members are Chairman F. M. Jackson, k. N. Culom, T. IT.. Motion, w. M. Cosby, Otto Marx, ]. J. Smith and R. S. Munger As number of the members are out of the city at the present time, 1t Is likely that the com mittee will begin active work about Sep tember 1.

Respects to MT. Fleharty

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 was one of the spectators who saw Fleharty deliberately throw the bean ball'' several times In yesterdays game until his purpose was accomplished, and as lover of clean sport I enter my pro- test against having such men as Fleharty in the league.
 trust that either MT. Woodward or MT Molesworth will take this matter up with Judge Kavanaush and will follow it up until he (Fleharty) is fired from the Southern league.
 In my opinion. and the opinion of sev- eral staid business men who were sit ting close to me- in the extreme left of the grandstand, between third base and the home plate. F'leharty deliberately tried to hit Ellam, as he had tried it in the case of Messenger. Johnston. Almeida. McGil- vray and Mcbride and. what made the action more dastardiy low. was the fact that he never took the trouble to stop ex- ereise long enough to see how much dam age he had done to a fellow player. I dare say if such a thing had happened in the New York Nationalss 'Mugsy' and his players would have made short work of the pitcher, and while l do not con- done mob rule. in my opinion yesterday would have been good time to show Mir. Fleharty a thing or two.
 Let all the lovers of clean sport in Bir- mingham, and there are thousands of them, take this up and see that Fleharty get his deserts. Yours very truly.

BOY KNOCKED DOWN
 BY AUTOMOBILE
John Hamilton Had Marrow Escape. Car Driven by c. E. Rogers.
 Accident Unavoidable

John Hamilton, white boy about IA years of age, employed at local tall bring establishment was knocked down by an automobile yesterday at the cor ner of Twenty-f1rst street and Third ave- nue and narrowly escaped serious in- jury. The boy was riding bicycle and in attempting to cross the street ran in front of the automobile and was knocked down, sustaining several severe bruises. The fact that the automobile, which was driven by Claude E. Rogers, was travelling slowly was responsible for the escape of the boy, for although MT. Rogers applied the brakes instantly. the boy was under the car when it was stopped.
 Fortunately he fell between the wheels and as a consequence escaped serious injury. Mr. Rogers took the boy to Dew berry's drug store and summoned medi- cal assistance, when it was learned that beyond a few bruises the boy was un- hurt and would be able to be out in a few days.
 After receiving medical attention MT. Rogers conveyed the boy to his home near Red mountain. According to the statements of eye witnesses the accident was unavoidable.

ALEXANDER BLUFFS AJAX
Bv CHARLES H. MANDY

Alex Power and Ajax Tobey, two leading members of the colored back alley 400. who were related by mar riage, inasmuch as Alex had led Ajax's sister to the hymeneal altar and prom ised to provide board and lodging for the rest of her natural days, were ar raigned before Judge Douglas of the police court on a number of charges ranging from "euss,ng to "scrapping.'
 The statement made by Alex was. that the lightning defiers invaded his dopicile and in ehe presence of his copper colred spouse had used language of a very tobascoitic variety. Alex further testified that he had picked up stick of stove wood with which he persuaded Ajax to de- sist Unlike his famous prototype, who defied the unseen. Ajax wilted when ne saw that piece of timber in the muscular hands of the brawny Alexan- der, and beat it. He didn't take time to leave by the door, but jumped out of the back room window, which. in his precipitate flight he did not stop to open. The result was disastrous-to the window-and the smoky Ajax sought protection of the police.
 What brought about the difficulty queried the Highland chieftain, who is presiding over the police court in the absence of Judg Hugo ,to) L.

 No sah. ledge. ah ain't nevah cussed, hit war dat trifiing Ajax wat did de cussing, all ah did was ter run him off"
 How about you. Mythoiogy?" asked Judge Douglas of Ajax.
 "Ah ain't never seed him, Jedge; he ain't in cote.n
 T mean did you use the profanity as charged by Alexander"
 "Ah belongs ter de Tobacco class of de fust African church, an ah don't nevah use no fanity whatsumever. Hit are a mistake. Jedge; dat nigger Alex he done lied erbout hit
 Tn the language of a popular song Somebody Lied in the case,' said the court, as it appears from the evil dence that cussing' was certainly done. You Alex, have displayed somewhat of the cumulative spirit of the ancient Alexander, who conquered the then known world. while you Ajax, have hardly come up to your mythological prototype, who defied the elements.
 However. that is neither here nor there, and much as I regret the neces- sity of imposing a penalty on such dis tinguished personages, you will be re quired to deposit S each In the hands of Clerk Bill, who. will receipt you for the same, or you can report for 10 days to Frank Gafford. who will give you a few lessons in physical culture bt means of a broom and shovel.
