From official sources 1t was given out
yesterday that the trusteeship involving

company operating at Ragland will be
lifted within the coming 80 days. The
company announced a few days ago
contemplates some extensive improve
ments to the end that a so per cent in
crease In production may be made
The first formal step in the release
of the company from the bankrupt court
was the filing yesterday of report by
three appraisers that the plant is worth
s613, ,456, as 1t now stands. The men who
reported to Judge Dryer as to the value

SURVEYS PREPARED
BY B. RI. CO.
East Lake Extension Will
Be Pushed to Completion
Without Delay

The Roebuck Springs Golf club will be
available to the city by electric car service
within a short time. The taking over by
the Birmingham Railway, Light and Pow
er company of the Rugby Highlands line,
owned In the past by the East Lake Land
company, also owners of the Roebuck op-
erations, means that the extensions from
East Lake to the Roebuck club will go
forward without delay.
The Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company engineers have prepared
surveys to the club and beyond In antici-
patton of the extension of the line. Ap-
propriations, it is understood, have been
made for the work. The company will be
required to build only very short connec-
ton In order to reach the Roebuck club.
The present distance from the end of the
East Lake line to the club is just a little
over one-half mile. That the work will
go ahead without delay is generally un-
derstood.
When the car line is completed to the
Roe5uck club it IS believed that that place
will become one of the chief social centers
of Birmingham. During the past few
months it has attracted a large number of
members owning automobiles. Bathing
parties have become very popular. while
the golf links under the direction of Mr..
Barker, the Roebucls instructor. are said
to be rounding into shape and will
eventually become the best in the entire
south.
Automobiles at present render the Roe
buck club accessible without much loss of
time However. there are In Birmingham
quite a few members of that club who do
not own automobiles. It is believed. there
fore. that with the street railway line
connecting Birmingham with the club
that the place as summer pastime sport
VIII sprins instantly into great favor.
The new car line will be constructed as
far up the valley as Huffman.

Commissioner Will See How
Cars Are Handled by
Railroads q

In order to get a direct line on the
methods employed in weighing cars,
Charles Henderson, president of the state
railroad commission. will visit Boyles this
morning. His determination to make the
inspection was announced at the reweigh-
ing hearing yesterday
President Henderson is determined II
possible to get the last bit of informa-
tion upon the mooted reweighing case and
to that end will look at some cars weighed
by the automatic scales. In addition, the
president of the railroad commission will
be shown by experts how carefully the
scales are watched and with what system
the Louisville and Nashville and other
lines use in keeping the best possible con-
citions around shipment weights.
President Henderson will be accom-
panied on his trip to Boyles by several
railroad officials who are interested III
Dreventlng the railroad commission from
making final its tentative order that Goa
must be reweighed after delivery upon the
request of the consignee. After the IN
spection at Boyles President Henderson

Julian and Mr.. McCord, associate commits
sioners, went at o'clock this morning.
Other than this step to find the real core
of the reweighing case it was announced
by Frank Julian, associate railroad COM
missioner that between this time aEG
September / the commission would have
surprise tests made of weights in all part
of the state and on various lines. Specia
representa- tives will be used in obtaining
scale weights in order to discover any pos
sible inefficiency in the system employed
by the railroad companies in handling Goa
shipments.

NO ACTION IN SIGHT
ON MEAT ORDINANCE
Will Hardly Be Adopted Before Com
missioners Return From Their
Vacations

1t is probable that the meat and
milk ordinance which has been pending
before the city commission will not be
enacted into a law for some time yet.
The city commissioners now are secur-
ing data from Montgomery in regard
to similar laws in force there which
are said to be the best in the country.
The ordinance has been before the
commission for some time, but has been
delayed, pending the arrival of data in
regard to similar laws In other parts
of the country. The ordinance is a
departure from the ordinary milk and
meat law, there being but few cities
that have similar ones. as it prohibits
the use of diseased meat for food in
any way
AS Judge Lane intends to leave for
a vacation today and Mr.. Exum will
leave Sunday there probably will not
be a quorum of the commission pres
ent for some time to come.

the northern Atlantic coast for sum-
mer vacation. He also stated that De
fore he left he would make his an

would run for president of the city

that he will run for commissioner, al
though Mr. Exum himself tenaciously
refuses to indicate one way or the
other as to what his intentions are.
From what he said yesterday, however,
1t would seem that he has made up

LANE MAY APPOINT
INSPECTOR TODAY
Believes That Special Ordi-
nance to Provide for
Officer Not Needed

Following the receipt of a letter
yesterday from lady whose name was
withheld, Jude A. o. Lane stated last
night that he would do everything in
his power to appoint a soda fountain
inspector before he left on his summer
vacation trip this afternoon, as this Is
the time of year such an official II
needed most.
Judge Lane was under the impress
sion yesterday that the ordinances
which he drafted some time ago for
the inspection Of soda fountains had
been passed, but he found out later
that he was misinformed. The ordi-
nance has been pending before the COM
mission for some time. but has never
been adopted. Later Judge Lane stated
that he believed soda fountain in
spector could be named now. as there
was no provision in the ordinance for
such an inspector, the ordinance merely
describing what methods should
be used in the inspection of such places.
Judge Lane states that the soda foun-
tain inspector is needed now, while the
hot weather is in fun sway, and the
soda fountains are doing the biggest
business they do any time in the year.
The Judge received a letter from lady
yesterday urging him to name an In
spector as soon as possible. She told
of her little girl having sore on her
mouth which 1t was believed had been
contracted in this way. and which re-
quired much attention and time to cure.
Commissioner Lane is greatly impressed
with the Importance of the matter and
states he will do all he can to have
1t settled before he leaves
The appointment of the inspector,
Is believed, can be done any time as
an addition to the health department
and that the authority can be given
him later probably Friday. when the
other commissioners can pass the ordi
nance II is understood that all or
the commissioners practically agree on
the ordinance.

Business Is Good

look over the general situation and
finding the inquiry into the reweighing
question up before the railroad COM
mission he attended the sessions held
Yesterday. Mr.. Powell will return to
Cincinnati this evening, his car being
attached to the fast train leaving here
at o'clock.
He said yesterday that generally
speaking business is good. There is
some slight business in spots, Mr..
Powell said, but viewed broadly the
country was in a fairly good condi-
ton. He was very much interested in
hearing good reports about the optim-
ism felt here, and said Birmingham
continued to be the most amazingly
progressive city on the Queen and Cres-
cent lines.

WEATHERLY ALONE
WILL RULE EC|TYFOR
NEXT FEW WEEKS
Number of Important Mat
ters Will Be Disposed of
at the Meeting
Tomorrow

InGfe are likely u ne sumo III
teresting'' meetings of the city com
mission within the next two or three
weeks The probabilities are that every
tuesday and every Friday Commission
er Weatherly will walk into the con
fdence ROOM" state the commission is
convened and adjourned and then walk
out again
With Judge Lane and President
Exum out of the city next week there
Will not be a quorum of the commits
sion present until one or the other
of them returns. Ii is probable that
Judge Lane will be back first. 1t is
not likely that anything of any very
great importance will be done until
this fall. however, when the members
of the triumvirate all get back ION the
job again.
Therefore the meeting of the COM
missioners tomorrow is being look ed
forward to as of some considerable i'm
portance as it will probably be the
last meeting in some time with a
quorum present. The traffic ordinance
for one thing will be passed The com
missioners have been comforting on
this but have not as yet fully decided
upon the amendments. 1t is probable
that the time limit on the park ing
clause of the ordinance will be in
creased from 20 to 80 or even 40 min
utes, which will probably be the most
important amendment to be made. 9th
er minor changes in the different pro-
visions of the lengthy document will
l.. IA
that the commissioners will exempt the
doctors of the city from this parking
provision, in compliance with the plea
of the committee of 100 doctors which
appeared before them at the meeting
Tuesday.
Judge Lane stated yesterday that he
was in favor of repeating the parking
clause altogether and conducting that
part of the traffic affairs of the city
heretofore. The other two commission
ers are inclined. 1t is believed, to ex-
tend the time limit but otherwise
adopt the ordinance as it is.
Besides this, board of consulting
engineers and the library board will
probably be named tomorrow. Commits
sioner Weatherly was working on the
library board yesterday afternoon, stat
ing that he had selected four names
and would have the remainder ready
by tomorrow. AT a conference of the
commissioners yesterday morning they
agreed to the personnel of a board of
consulting engineers to aid in the en-
forcement of the smoke ordinance 1t is
composed of George Gordon Crawford.
F. B. Kiser and Maj r. H. Elliott. The
members of the board have not so far
announced their Willingness to serve.
The duty of this board will be to act
in an advisory capacity to the com
missioners in the enforcement of the
smoke ordinance. With the ordinance
in its amended form as it now is and
with the advisory board of consulting
engineers and a smoke inspector the
ordinance is expected to work agree
ably and not infiict a hardship upon
any factory operator.

Many and various are the methods EN-
ployed by the lovesick swain of all coun-
tries and climes to give expression to their
love. de that is very bashful Is content
to sit and dumbly gaze on the object of
his alteration content to be in her pres
ence. The impetuous lover fairly takes
the lady of his fancy by storm and cap
lures the prize, sometimes before the
price is ON to the situation. The rich
lover tries to gain the object of his af-
fection by means of rare and expensive
gifts. while the matter of fact lover mere
ly makes a bargain and generally gets
the best of 1t.
In the days of long ago when persuasion
failed brute force was brought into play.
The cave mans method was primitive but
effective Meeting his affinity he would
hit the object of his tender heart on the
