LONG HAS MONEY
TOPAY WITNESSES
Believed Grocers' Case Will
Cost Government About
$4,000

A fund Of $4,000 has been received here
by Pope Nj. Long, United States marshal.
with which TO pay the witnesses in the
case of the United States against the
Southern Wholesale Grocers association.
The fund will go for witnesses, and others
that are engaged in the case having
claims against the government. Marshal
Long is here to distribute that money
with William Ford, his chief deputy.
In all it is believed about $4,000 will be
paid witnesses. That goes for railroad
fares and expenses while In Birmingham.
Some of the men summoned have come
here from New York, Texas and other
states which entails heavy cost for
railroad fare The government pays more
for railroad fare than the exact cost Of
mileage and on that account the trial Of
the grocers' case is costing Uncle Samuel
rather heavily.
The first man to be paid Off yesterday
was w. f. White. who came here from
Mississippi, bringing important documents
for the government. He was given a
check for $S3 by the government and ex-
cused as he was not a witness.

to State His Views to
Mr.. Exum

Cheaper gas rates in Birmingham
may be realized in the near future,
as formal notification was sent to the
city commission yesterday by the Bir-
mingham Railway, Light and Power
company that President A. H. Ford of
that company would be ready to con-
fer with President c. Exum of the COM
mission Thursday.
As to whether or not Mr. Ford agrees
with the report made by city Attorney
Boyd on cheaper gas rates for this city
follow. is unknown. Mr.. Ford declined
to make any statement yesterday aft
ernoon as to his position in the mat
ter.
Tile agitation for cheaper gas rates
was started several weeks ago when
City Attorney Boyd introduced report
before a meeting of the commission in
which 1t was claimed that by compar-
ison with other cities of like area and
population that the gas rates in Bir-
mingham were too high while the cleo
trio light rates we're about right The
report was turned over TO President
EXum and he submitted 1t to the Bir-
Railway. Light and Power
company, which operates the artificial
gas plants of the city, for the consid-
GRAFTON of President Ford. Mr.. Ford
will report his views on the matter
Thursday and thereafter some definite
action upon the part of the commission
is expected. one way or the other.

NOTHING DEFINITE
ON GRADE CROSSINGS
Kirkpatrick Says Work Is Steadily
Progressing-Much Detail Must
Be Looked After

Nothing of any definite character has
been done so far on the Birmin CHAM
grade crossing problem by the expert
grade crossing engineer, according 60 a
statement made yesterday by City En-
glneer Kirkpatrick. 1t will be remem-
bered that an expert grade crossing
engineer from Indianapolis was en-
gagged by the city commission some
several weeks ago to work out a COM
plete grade crossing system.
Mr.. kirkpatrick states that the work
is steadily progressing but that the
enormous amount of detail to be gone
through first has resulted in nothing
tangible being done in the grade cross
Ing plans yet. as far as the public is
concerned Mr.. kirkpatrick said he
could not say whether OF not the grade
crossing system would be complete by
September /, the time the employment
of the expert expires.

HAS AMENDMENT TO
TAG DAY ORDINANCE
Said That Mr.. Weatherly Does Not
Believe in Confining Privilege to
One Institution

1t was generally understood at the
city hall yesterday that City Commits
sioner Weatherly will offer an amend
ment to the tag day ordinance as soon
as he returns to the city. 1t appears
that Mr.. Weatherly Is not in entire
sympathy with the plan to confne tag
day to the Boys club alone as 1t is
generally understood is provided In this
ordinance.
The Boys club Is not mentioned In
the ordinance itself. but following the
passage of the ordinance the Boys club
was granted a permanent permit to
have a tag day on the time specified
in the ordinance. The ordinance was
intended to do away with the numer-
GUS and sundry tag day limitations"
that had become obnoxious TO tho cit
izens on account of their great num-
Der. 1t is understood Mr.. Weatherly
does not believe in confining this priv
ilege solely TO one institution.

LANE WRITES TO
O'NEAL ABOUT SHACKLES


Judge Lane. My personal belief is that
the result Of this whole matter viii be
that the county convicts will be relieved
of their shaclSles by order of the governor
and that the city eonviets In Birmingham
will be allowed to retain their shackles.
Since investigating the law on the sub
ject l believe this can be done. IL such
a step is finally decided upon by Cow
ernor ONeal. | believe though the gov
ernor will see the impracticablity of any
attempt to work the city convicts ON the
streets without shaelSles; for 1t is very
plain to any man who will think a mo-
ment on the matter that 1t can not be sue
cessfuly done for the simple reason that
too many of the men would escape and
could never be reeaptured, and justice In
the city of Birmingham thereby would
become a farce"

Complain of Last Paragraph


The government alleges that the last
paragrah of the above letter clearly in
dcates that the association by its own
confession is continuing the operations
against which the government proceeded
prior to 1911, which time the grocers con-
scented to the restraining decree This
the grocers deny
Before Mr. VanIIoose went on the
stand yesterday in the grocers' case the
first witness called by the government
was James Weatherby of Facing Rock
N. c. He testified that he was district
manager in charge of the two Carolinas
for baking powder concern. He was
asked If he composed a letter shown
him which he admitted. The letter was
read and purported to substantiate the
claims of the government that makers
would not sell to the retailers Mr.
Weatherby testified that for IS years
but one retailer had been placed on his
selling list He said that economic ne
cessities forced the makers to deal with
iobbers as the latter class assumed the
financial burdens. caused a minimum of
work in distributing the products, and
acted otherwise to the benefit and profit
his concern was not confined to the
south but was a general practice all over
the United States. He said that the
method had been found best by some of
the most careful makers in America al
though in some lines it had been found
profitable TO distribute goods such as per-
ishahle commodities direct between the
makers and the retailers. He was ex-
ctised and went home after examination
by Mr.. Street and Mr. Percy
