ROUTINE MATTERS
BEFORE COMMISSION
To Revise License Schedule
for Confederate Veterans.
To Paint City Jails

Among the less important matters be-
fore the city commission yesterday was
the granting of permits to do business
without a license to Confederate veter-
ans. 1t was stated that many of these
veterans were wealthy but that they
| came to the commission and secured free
permits. Mr.. Exum and Mr.. Lane both
stated that this was unfair, and favored
granting permits only to those veterans
who were shown to be in need OF the
aid Mr.. weatherly made a motion, and
it was adopted. that the license schedule
for the Confederate veterans be made to
conform to the state law. and City At
torney Boyd was requested to look up
the state law in this regard.
The petition of the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company for
double track on Twenty-first street was
called up and passed over, to be dls-
cussed in q conference with the street car
company officials later
Mr.. Weatherly called up the applica-
tion of Pisgah Home for small IN
crease in their monthly allowance from
the city. Mr. Exum suggested that there
were good many like institutions In
the same fix" and that they be taken up
all together at later oate. Ihls WIS
done.
Commissioner Lane stated that he had
secured reports on the Ensley and Cen
trail city jails and that both of them
needed painting on the inside. He stated
that they were in some places insani-
tary and unsightly, but that the main
objection was that they were too dark,
especially the Jail at Ensley. He there
fore recommended that they be repainted
ard that white paint be used in order
to give moro light. The motion was
made and adopted, and sealed bids were
received from painting contractors. The
successful bidder was not announced.
An ordinance was passed authorizing
the issuance of bonds to the amount of
$4,000 for paving and other street i'm
provements. A mass of routine matter
was gone over, some adopted and some
rejected, among 1t being many bills
awaiting the Endorsement of the commits
sion.
The meeting at II O'Clock this morning
is called especially to pass upon the Kel-
ley franchise. but Mr.. Weatherly stated
yesterday that delegation of plumbers
might be heard in regard to some license

SHERIFF OF HALE
MAY Be |MPEACHED
Attorney General Files Pro-
ceedings Against Martin
ACCUSED OF NEGLECT
Brickell Charges Sheriff Allowed
Prisoner to Receive Bottle Con-
tanning Carbolic Acid Before
Ascertaining Contents
OF NEGLECT

Montgomery. January 14-(Special.)-
Impeachment proceedings against Will
liam Martin, sheriff of Hale county,
were Instituted by Attorney Geoeral
Robert c. Brickell Tuesday in the SUI
preme court In his statement TO the
supreme court, the attorney general
charged Sheriff Martin with wilful
neglect of duty in allowing a prisoner
in his custody, VIII Thomas, a negro,
to receive carbolic acid before first
ascertaining the contents of the bottle,
thereby enabling the prisoner to COM
nit suicide.
The attorney generals information
to the court set out the fact that Thom-
as, under sentence to be hanged for
murder, applied to the jailor for a bot
tie of carbolic acid on December 81;
that the poison was purchased, and
that it was delivered to the prisoner
in the presence of Sheriff Martin, be-
fore the sheriff ascertained the con-
tents of the bottle.
In his first charge, the attorney gen.
eral alleged that Martin was guilty
of wilful neglect of duty in allowing
as such sheriff, and under the sentence
of death, to obtain carbolic acid or
other poison for the purpose of self
destruction and in thereby causing
his death; that the said William Mar
tin as sheriff of Hale county, was
guilty of wilful neglect of duty in
negligently giving to prisoner any
package without first ascertaining the
of such package, thereby per-
hitting such prisoner to commit sui
eide; that the said William Martin was
guilty OF wilful neglect of duty in
giving a prisoner in his
custody a bottle containing poison,
thereby enabling such prisoner to COM
nit suicide, and thereby avoid the PEN
atty OF the law"
The second charge alleges incompe-
tency, in that the poison was given
to the prisoner without the contents of
the bottle having been ascertained.
The supreme court is asked to issue
a notice to Sheriff Martin requiring
him to appear before the court and
answer to the charges filed against
him.
