Seeks Light on the Situation
First Hand
CONFERENCE is HELD
Boy of Fifteen Who Has Sold Papers
Three Years Makes $40 a Month
and Is Equipped to Enter
High School
CONFERENCE is HELD

The statement made some days ago
that Commissioner Weatherly would
thoroughly investigate the ordinance
by means of which certain associated
philanthropists plan to regulate the
newsboys of Birmingham. is proved In
the fact that on yesterday he inter-
viewed one of the sellers themselves.
The little fellow, dignihed. well
poised and from having mingled with
the world for three years altogether
unterrifed in the presence of one of the
big men of the community quietly told
the commissioner his story.
He was IS years of age and had been
selling newspapers on the streets OF
Birmingham for three years. At the
present time he earns $40 per month.
In three years he has attended school
and aided in the support of his family

and educates itself
Mr.. Weatherly was much impressed
with what he had heard and he glowed
In the knowledge that an American boy
under whatever circumstances can take
care of himself and at the same time
aid those dependent on his energy.
The proposed ordinance in reference
to regulations to be thrown about young
boys who sell papers or perform other
work in Birmingham was subjected to
an extended conference yesterday aft
ernoon. A committee from the Boys
club, headed by Burr Blackburn. super
intendent OF that organization. and
Commissioner James Weatherly held
the conference. Proposed amendments
which, is is said, Mr.. Weatherly will
mist upon and to get light as to the
whole proposition were the reasons for
the conference. In addition to Mr..
Weatherly and Mr. Blackburn the 9TH
ers in the conference included DIR. j.
II. Phillips, superintendent of schools
Rabbi Morris Newfield, Judge S. d. MUIR
phy of the Juvenile court: Hugo l.
Black and Griffith r. Harsh.
The conference was adjourned In or
der that Commissioner Weatherly
might attend the meeting of the com
mission relative to the Kelly franchise
which was the subject of special
meeting No conclusion was reached.
Mr. Weatherly said he desired the
fullest Information upon the boy stu
alton here and before he reported his
views to the commission he would give

contributing to the general topic. His

ALL DETAILS FINALLY
ARE AGREED UPON

The commissioners, with the assistance
of Captain Boyd city attorney, and the
city engineer, agreed first upon all the de-
tails of the franchise. A great many con-
ditions were imposed, including the per
cent per cent and per cent gross
rev enue clause to be paid the city for a
period of years. The minutest detail was
finally agreed. upon when the financial
cart of the case was taken up. Mr.. Exum
was ouispoken in his position on the
proposition, and said henceforth, begin
ming then and there the city franchises
would not be given to anyone for specula-
tive or trading purposes. He said that II
the Kelly interests did not have the infor-
nation regarding which they had been re-
peatedly' warned, then he was through.
Mr.. Kelly and associates argued that a
great many of their financial details had
been completed, but the final plans could
not be consummated because the hackers
at least wanted to know what was to be
given He said that no man wanted to
finance anything without knowing some
thing about what he was putting his
morey into
The commission informed Mr. Kelly that
months had been consumed on his case.
He had been given careful hearing and
had been requested repeatedly 10 get tins

ADMINISTRATIONS
JUSTICE COSTLY IN
JEFFERSON COUNTY
Facts Shown in Examiner
Gorman's Report to
Gov. O'Neal
ADVOCATES CHANGE
IN JUDICIAL SYSTEM
Large Difference Shown in Expendi-
lures and Receipts-Lovelady Dis
cusses Convict Contract and
Judges Salaries

That the administration of justice IL
jefferson county is a costly proceeding
is evidenced by the report of State Ex-
man. submitted to Governor oNeal by
that official, who has recently examined
the books and accounts of County Treas
urer II. c. Miller and other county Off
cials. SO far as the manner in which
the books are kept and the correctness
of the accounts Major German has moth
ing but the highest praise, but he points
out that the present syster Of courts and
court procedure in this oounty is un-
wieldy and costly, and recommends "a
reorganization of the judicial system OF
the county, which will result in a more
economical and efficient administration of
justice"
Major German claims the fine and for
feture fund to be lin a bad condition;
that the county received only $4255 SO for
the hire of 465 convcts and that sl9,074. q
was the amount paid in cash for fines
assessed, total of s23,39o13. Against
these figures he states that the county
paid in salaries to the judges and solici-
tors s45, 5,9o5 .63, to the jurors s65332 % and
to the bailiffs 20. total of s1ss5l Il
and difference of sl10. 1872 "a in the ex-
penditures and the receipts.
These figures, however cover the cost
of operating the civil as well as the
criminal courts. There are eight divisions
two criminal and six civil although they
are only in session eight months in the
year.
DIR. Loveady, president OF the board
of revenue. when asked as to the re-
port of Major German, stated that whils
less than that of former years it wa.
the best the board could do at the time
There was only one bid and as no pro
vision had been made for placing this

not only by the Jefferson county, but
by 10 other counties at the same figure

Official figures received in Birmingham
from Chief of Police ]. 8. Beavers of
Atlanta, are of exceptional interest Just
at this time. showing as they do a strik-
ing comparison between that city and
Birmingham
This report shows Atlanta has 276 men
regularly on its police department apay
rolls. Birmingham has 1852. Atlanta has
an area of 27 square miles. The area of
Birmingham is so square miles.
The population of the two cities is ap-
proximately the same. though Atlanta
claims few thousand more than Bir-
mingham.
Chief of Police Bodeker who is now
under a thirty day suspension, was asked
yesterday for confirmation ofsthe figures
en- the number of men regularly en-
ployed in the Birmingham department.
He confirmed absolutely the above list.
Judge A. O. Lane, commissioner of
public Justice and official head of the
police department, yesterday issued fig
ures to show what the police of Rrming-
ham have done during the past year. In
reply to the criticism that gambling is
wide open" he shows that during 1912
a total of 1901 arrests were made for
gambling, an average of nearly three a
day for the whole year.
The statement of Judge Lane was
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-09

issued in contradiction of the report of
recent grand jury which charged that
the town was wide open, and the
charge to the grand jury by Judge w. f..
Fort this week, in which that judge
made reference to the gambling which
he alleged is in progress in the city.
What I am furnishing said Judge
Lane. Consists of figures representing
what has actually been done. The report
OF grand jury is always based on ex
parte evidence; the jury believes. but
does not absolutely know
"The figures relating to money deal
alone with that money which was actu-
ally collected, and not with fines pending
in cases appealed to higher courts. And
the total sum collected does not include
the fines worked out on the streets by
those convicted and sentenced to hard
labor"
The report shows that during 1912 the
department arrested 1901 gamblers in Bir-
mingham. Out Of this number of arrests
there was total of 99l convictions, while
A of the cases were continued. The re-
port further shows that the total num-
Der of arrests, for various causes, during
the past year is HAP.
The total number of fines and forfeit
ure amount to So, ,566.4o. Stolen property
was recovered and returned TO the
amount of $50 $3.50. The total receipts of
the department are $l61H3
