@ AN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan.
y 29.-Beware, Tom Jones, of
Jim Griffin, local fight pro-
moter and referee, for if he does
one-half to you that he says he
will when you fellows meet face to
face there should be some lively do
ings. It must not be inferred that
blows will be struck, but there will
be a flashing Of tongues. Griffin's
Irish is up, and all because he read
in a Chicago paper the criticism of
Tom Jones on his ability as a ref
cree. 1t will be remembered that
Griffin acted as third man in the
ring when Ad lost his title to
Richie.
Praise For Chicagoan.
Jones has been taking liberties
with Gritiin's name and reputation
back in Chicago. 1t was while
Jones was endeayoring to make it
clear that Wolgast had been
wronged when the decision was
given against him in the Thanks
giving fight with Willie Richie.
While being interviewed by Ed
Smith, of The Chicago American.
on whose ability as scribe we
stand firm and who never gets his
notes garbled, Jones spoke az fol-

Use of Cocaine Is Growing

The extent of the prevalence of the
morphine and cocaine habits is not
found in the figures recording the an
nual importation and consumption Of
opium and cocaine In the United
States during the last ten years there
has been an annual Importation of NOR
phine and opium of over 100000 pounds.
Germany with 60.000.000 Inhabitants,
consumes only about 1900 pounds an
nually, while in Italy, with its $4,000, 900
people, there is an annual consumption
of only about 1000 pounds. 1t Is agreed
by most reliable authorities that one
eighth the amount of opium imported
into the United States would amply
suffice for the legitimate medical needs
of our people This country manu-
factures into morphine fully 100000
pounds of the annual importation, and
1T is estimated that 80 per cent, of the
morphine thus made is used by the
victims of the habit. A consideration Dt
the traffic in cocaine reveals no less
alarming situation. In spite of legis-
lation intended to repress. to prevent,
or to limit to medical and scientific
needs, the consumption has grown to
such an exteIt that its illegitimate use
exceeds 10000 ounces every year.

whatever the grade crossing situation
as it now exists in Birmingham.
In the two years which Mr.. Kirkpatrick
has been the head of the city engineering
department the grade crossing problem
probably has made better progress than
ever before in the history of the mnicipal-
ity. Mr.. Kirkpatrick with the aid of his
subordinates and of a special grade cross
ing expert, Engineer Stearnes, has
worked out a grade crossing scheme
which in time 1t is freely predicted will be
adopted or the basis of the plan finally

This plan is held up now, as is known,
by the refusal of the railroads to indorse
it or submit substitute for 1t. Mr.. Kirk
patrick right now, however, is preparing
an ordinance by which the city will at
tempt to force the railroads to build Il
viaduct at First avenue and Twenty-sev-
enth street, and it is believed that in time
the entire plan will be worked out some-
thing along this line.
Another important matter that has
been worked out during Mr. Kirkpatrick S
connection with the city is the scheme for
remaining of the streets Mr. Kirkpatrick
is the author of the plan which Is now
pending before the commission and which
there appears but little doubt will be
adopted.

II. f. Miles, chairman of the vocational
educational committee of the Chamber
OF Commerce of the United States, will
arrive in Birmingham this morning about
10 o'clock, for the purpose of comforting
with the vocational educational commit
tee of the local Chamber of Commerce
Mr.. Miles comes to Birmingham from
Cincinnati. 1t is probable that he will
meet the local committee, of which ]. d.
Moore is chairman, at II o'clock at the
Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Miles is a resident of Racine Wis
and is an expert In the line of vocational
education in the public schools. He comes
to Birmingham under the auspices of the
United States Chamber of Commerce and
1t is probable that some plan for intro
ducing vocational education into the pub
lie schools of Alabama will be brought
up for the consideration of the local com
mittee.
AT the present. time Mr.. Moores com
mittee is working under great difficult
ties and 1t is thought that legislation will
be necessary before any great good can
be accomplished. The committee is com
posed of some of the best known men of
Alabama-George Gordon Crawford. DR..

nam schools; Robert Jemison Sr., and f.

east and will not be present at this morn

State Committee

Without authority comes the news out
of Montgomery that the state democratic
executive committee will meet in Mont
gomery on the morning of December 10.
P. G. Bowman and John c. Pugh, Bir-
mingham members of the committee, and
D. r. Blackwood of Blount county, an
other of the Ninth district representa-
tives, who was in this city yesterday,
declared that they had not received notice
of the meeting. However. 1t is generally
believed in local political circles that the
report is true. and that the committee
will be called to order December 10.
The business of the committee will be
the naming of date for the democratic
primary next year, and the selection of
plan-either the majority or plurality

fact that Mr.. Kirllpatrick's departure
from the city engineering department was
in no way due to unsatisfactory service.
The commissioners believe Mr. I<rkpat-
rick is very able man, but they feel that
he had done as much as he can for the
city under present conditions and that for
financial reasons alone it is better to dis
pense with a head of the engineering de-
partment at this time altogether.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick came to Birmingham as
city engineer about two years ago, from
Jackson Miss. He has drawn a yearly
salary of $500.
During his connection with the city
some very important engineering feat is

ton is rife, the consensus of opinion now
seems to be that the primary will be
held April l. and that the pluarity plan
will prevail. Should the plurality plan
prevail there will be but one primary
even should no one of the candidates for
any office secure majority of the
votes polled.
Other Committees to Meet
In the primary next year, the people of
the state will nominate governor, a lieu
tenant governor, a senator of the United
States and all minor state officials. Fol
lowing the meeting of the state commit
tee, all district and county committees
will meet The district committees, this
year, will have much business to dispose
of. In the Second, Congressman Dent is
opposed by Woodford Mabry of Mont
gomery. In the Third Congressman Clay
ton is opposed by II. b. Steagall of Ozark.
In the Sixth, w. 3. Bankhead and w. B.
Oliver are rival candidates to succeed to
the berth to be vacated by Congressman
Hobson. In the Seventh district, Con-
gresham John L. Burnett has opposition
in Capt. l.. B. Rainey. In the Ninth,
there will be a four-cornered struggle
for the seat to be vacated by Oscar w.
Underwood, the candidates being Nathan
Ia Miller, Jere G. King, George G. Hud-
dleston and George w. Darden.
It is a safe prediction that the district
committees will call their primaries for
the same day on which the state primary
will be held, and will adopt the plan
provided for the state primary. The
county committees will do likewise. In
all the counties, sheriffs will be chosen,
and in jefferson, In addition to a sheriff,
several other minor officials will be Sc
lected. The candidates are out and work
ing at the present time.
In all of the counties, again, members
of the legislature will be chosen In the
election of senators and members of the
lower house, there is statewide interest.
Who Has Control
There is speculation as to who will be in
control of the committee. In the begin
ming, there was no question but that the
present state administration had ma
iority of the members. Some defections,
however, and the necessity of others re-
signing, leaves this point in doubt. Tt is
a certainty that each of the guberna-
torial candidates has strong friends
among the members.
Gardner Greene, of Pell City, candidate
for attorny general, and l.. F. Greer of
Choccolocco, candidate FOR commissioners
of agriculture, will resign from the COM
mittee because of their aspirations to
hold public office. It is considered prob
