Chief Sanitary Inspector
Burs0n Says One Is
Badly Needed
ADDITIONAL LAWS
ALSO NECESSARY
Said That All Fountains That Look
Nice From the Outside Are
Very Much Different Be-
hind the Counter

II is probable that within a short time,
like other cities, Birmingham will have
a soda fountain inspector.
We certainly do need such an official
said Chief Sanitary Inspector Walter
Burson yesterday. while do not think
there are enough soda fountains in this
city to warrant the employment of a. man
to look after them alone. l think that if
we could secure an expert and rlaca him
In charge of the bakeries, restaurants and
soda fountains he would not only find
plenty to do, but that it would provel one
of the most valuable investments the city
could make
IL Is well known that there are soda
fountains in the city which appear very
neat and clean from the outside. but that
behind lin the wallow." there are oondi
tions not exactly conducive to the best
principles of sanitation. Not only is the
floor covered with a conglomerate mix
ture of water mud. ice cream, fruit scraps
and odd ends and bits of all the various
and sundry things usually in evidence
about a soda fountain of the 1913 model,
but in many such places there is a large
water tank into which each dish and glass
is dipped after being used. After one or
two more plunges this vessel is ready
for the next customer and the operation
is repeated. Thoughts of the germs of
different breeds that might be found in
this rinsing water after 70 or "A hours
use would not particularly invigorate an
invalid's appetite.
Chief Burson stated yesterday that even
il the city commissioners for some reason
could not see fit to employ the services
of an expert to inspect at regular inter-
walls. the soda fountains and bakeries
and so forth, that it at least would be a
very good idea to pass an ordinance re-
quiring the dishes and glasses at these
fountains to be washed in running water.
which practice is in vogue at some
stands now.
None of the city commissioners wished
to be quoted on the matter yesterday until
they had had time to think it over 1t is
stated that other cities have such an in
spector but that the matter has never
come before the city authorities here The
soda fountains are under a certain super
vision now, each health officer of the city
being apportioned certain district or sec
ton of the city to look after, and the
soda fountains of course are included.

NEW RECORD |SSET
IN REMOVING STAG
Twenty-Seven Cars or 5000
Cubic Yards Are
Loaded

Twenty-seven cars of Stag or 5000 yards
were loaded at the Sloss Stag pile yester-
day without moving the train. Thas Is
a record for loading Stag that is un-
equalled In this country, according to
well informed industrial men. The forces
under Solon Jacobs president of the Bir-
mingham Stag company, were enabled
to achieve this record by reason of a
tremendous caven which occurred yes
terday at the Stag pile. At one point
the bank is excessively steep, and when
the workmen dug under that point there
was mighty crash and roar of the fall
ing Stag The result was that the work.
men loaded the number of cars without
trouble and without moving them.
Mr. Jacobs said last night that the
pile would be completely cleared away in
less than six weeks from this time The
fixed time for the final cleanup was three
months The forces under Mr.. Jacobs
have been at work six weeks yesterday.
They have moved a tremendous amount
of the Stag from the northern side. The
forces are cutting In from that side.
The Stag was purchased by the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad, and is being
used by that company on the double
track work north of Birmingham. All
the cars needed for transporting the Stag
are being furnished by the company as
rapidly as needed, as the double track
work is progressing SO satisfactorily
that the contractors have been able to
get some fine results on that task.
The final removal of the Stag pile from
the landscape in the neighborhood of the
Sloss furnace will be an achievement for
which there has been an insistent de-
mand for several years.

JUDGE LANE WILL
MAKE HIS REPORT
AT MEETING TODAY
Understood That He Will
Recommend Change in
Sanitary Laws
HAS NOT MADE UP
HIS MIND AS YET
May Advocate Law Which Would
Prohibit Selling Tubercular Cows
for Food-The Commissioner
Studies Question Closely

81 have abandoned the law profession
and have taken up the study of medi-
cine" stated City Commissioner A. o.
Lane yesterday afternoon when asked
if there were any developments in the
tubercuar meat hearing Judge Lane
would not give any indication of what
his report to the city commission Will be-
but he stated that he believed he would
be able to make the proposed report by
this afternoon.
Three great books, treatises on medi-
cine, germ infection and pathology were
the conspicuous objects on Judge Lane
office table yesterday afternoon. lie
was deeply interested in their contents
in the few moments he could snatch be-
tween callers and, although tthe report
was strictly unofficial and could not be
verified it was rumored about the city
yesterday that the commissioner is going
to recommend change in the sanitary
laws of the city. by which diseased cows
will be prohibited from being used for
food purposes When asked about the
matter by direct question. Judge Lane
t1dt he lldu iiot yCt ihduC UP iiio
mind, and therefore could not say, even
If he wanted to.
1t is generally admitted now that the
only result that can come from the re-
cent hearing of evidence on the question
of whether or not tubercular infected
milk cows were condemned for milk pur-
poses, but slaughtered for meat purposes
and II So whether or not it was de-
leterious to health, will be a recommen-
dation from Commissioners Lane of a
change in the health laws of the city.
At the two sessions of the hearing it
was established beyond doubt that the
city health officials had not been lax,
that they had been enforcing the laws
as they stood on the statute books, and
that these laws were based in turn on
the United States meat inspection laws
and almost identical with the latter.
Evidence was introduced, however,
which would indicate that the use of
these diseased animals as meat was de-
leterious to health and dangerous in all
cases. that some states already had
taken action in this regard and had
adopted new health laws. and that it
appeared to be a circumstance brought
about by natural evolution, in that the
world was learning new things every day,
as time passed new laws were needed
to cover up loopholes in the old ones
which before were not detected
The only question then before Judge
Lane. it is understood is whether or
not the city health laws shall be amended
to prohibit the use for food of the flesh
of cows whose milk has been condemned
for public consumption because the ami
NAL has tuberculosis.

Among the candidates who will in
all probability be qualified for state
office, there is an excellent chance that
one will be a preacher. 1t is consid-
cred probable that John A Jenkins,
prison chaplain of the state of Alabama,
and son of J. e. Jenkins of Inverness
Bullock county's representative in the
legislature, will announce for the Of
flee of superintendent of education
There is interest in the probale can
didacy of Mr.. jenkins for other rea-
sons than that he is minister of the
gospel 1t will mean. first of all, that
William Feagin, chief clerk of the de-
partment of education, will not succeed
to the superintendency without the
necessity of overcoming opposition, and
secondly, that there will be revival
of the cry which resounded in the
campaign for congressman at large

ALL IS QUIET AFTER
BIC MASS MEETING.
None of ExcOriated Had
Aught to Say Yesterday
ANOTHER is PLANNED
Plan Now Laid for j. B. Drake to
Retire From Commission Race
and Let Clement Wood
Be Elected
ANOTHER is PLANNED

There were no stupendous develop
ments following the mass meeting of
Sunday in which various institutions
of Birmingham and especially the city
commission, the Birmingham Railway
Light and Power company, and the
newspapers, were severely criticized
and if anyone anticipated that the very
stones would be moved to rise and
mutiny, that one must of necessity
have retired last evening with an ach-
ing void.
The members of the city commission,
as was expected, had nothing to say. II
is understood that their reluctance 20
appear in public print was not due to
any degree of humiliation that might
have followed the rebuke of labors
fiery orators The officials of the Br-
mingham Railway, Light and Power
company sat silent in their boats al
though it is understood that A. II.
Ford president Of the company, was
made aware of what had been said and
done. The newspapers which shared
in the general fusilade of vitriolic lang
uage, have issued no official statement
for publication.
Hope for Second Meeting
Leaders in the cause of labor who
manfully strove to grasp this sorry
scheme of things entire, shatter 1t into
bits and remould it nearer to the
hearts desire, expressed elation in re-
gard to the success of the first meeting
of protest and promised to entertain
with second 1t is understood that
still other matters will be discussed,
and that documentary evidence will be
employed with which to back up what
ever statements might be made. There
was general satisfaction, it Is under
stood, on the part of the speakers in
that the newspapers published excerpts
from their fiery declamations.
Regarding Commission Race
Another interesting report which
gained remarkable headway yesterday
was to the effect that j. B. Drake
would not make the race for member
ship of the city commission and that
organized labor would crystalize it's
83 per centage of the population in an
enthusiastic effort to nominate and
elect Clement r. Wood, former recorder
of the police court, who, sometime ago,
was relieved of his duties and divorced
from his relationship with the munich
pal government
1t is understood that this idea gained
force when it was remembered with
what q remarkable and prolonged
demonstration the appearance on the
rostrum of the recorder was greeted
1t was argued by those favorable to
the proposed candidacy OF Mr.. Wood
that Milwaukee has paved the way for
the elevation in municipal affairs of
those with socialistic tendencies, and
that If c. EXum, G. Ward, j. Hornady,
M. Mcdowell and r. Mcdonald divided
the vote of the city in parts sufficiently
small, the former recorder would have
an excellent chance to acquire the goal
of his ambition.
