LETTERS TO EDITOR
West End Street Conditions
A. I,dilnr of Thn Acn- Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
To a subscriber will you kindly give
space in your valuable paper and pupiisn
the following remarks which | feel con-
strained to make in connection with con-
dition which has obtained in West End
for the past five years and previous 10
that time as well, as I am Informed. l
refer to the condition of Tuscaloosa ave-
nue. Just west of Elyton school, after
every heavy rain. This morning just after
reading about opening the new street
across the city and having in mind the
proposed boulevard from one end of the
greater city to the other, | was COM
PEELED to walk along, with all the other
residents Of our suburb, to get to my
office in time. 1t is not only long
walk but a very wet and muddy one just
at the point where this street overflows,
and it is not necessary to have a storm
like we had last night for this street TO
become impossible to street cars, just a
heavy rain.
Now it does seem that if there is any
money available in the present low state
OF the city finances it should be spent on
making this street passable to the street
cars in all weathers and talk about boule-
wards and new streets afterward Re

Bladensburg, Md, February 2l.-"Gen. >
Rosalie Jones and her army arrived
here late this afternoon after a wet tramp
from Laurel, which they left this morn
ing. At Laurel a message was received
by General Jones that the national
suffrage officers themselves desired to
deliver to President Wilson the message
the pilgrims are bearing TO Washington,
This situation caused CONSERVATION in
the army" but the protests of some of
the soldiers were silenced by the pacific
attitude of General Jones. When the
"hikers" reached here they were met by
Miss Alice Paul from the Washington
headquarters, and after a long confer
ence it was decided to leave the ques-
ton open until after the capital head
quarters is reached tomorrow.
The most disagreeable adventure of the
day was encountered at College park,
where students jeered the marchers. Their
remarks finally became so unpleasant that
newspaper men with the party interfered
and lively fist fight resulted, with the
students getting the worst of the argu-
ment All the fair suffragists were at
tended by physicians tonight and bruised
and blistered feet put into condition for
the final march tomorrow.
Trouble over the message to President
elect Wilson apparently was not settled
by the decision of Miss Paul and Gen

to further conference tomorrow. In
surgency developed late tonight and Miss

Differs From Kirkpatrick
1ha Editnr nf The Aec-Heral ll:

1O the Editor oil Ine A8c-t1erdiu.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick. city engineer, in a
quoted interview with the Ledger of the
26th inst, says: "The proposed widening
of the sidewalks has grown into nothing
less than a fight between the wealthy
and the common people. and that is just
what this movement against the WIDEN
ing of the sidewalk ON Second avenue
amounts to-"
/ do not doubt Mr.. KirlIpatrick's engi-
nering ability: in fact. | must concede II,
for our commissioners would not have
employed him had not his ability been OF
the highest type. But ] do question his
right, province or good Judgment to enter
into this controversy ana insult property
owners who have the temerity to disagree
from him, in their efforts to protect their
interests as they see it. Widening the
sidewalk on First avenue and on Nine
teenth and Twentieth streets would not
interfere with the traffic so much, for
they are already 100 feet wide. but to
make Second avenue a 4s foot street
would. in my Judgment, seriously injure
this avenue.
The Age-Herald's most excellent edi-
torial suggestion in today's issue, If car
ried out. there would be no congestion on
any sidewalks in the city, and in that
connection. Mr.. Editor Sou say: IF the
commissioners would take steps through
the patrolmen to make pedestrians keep to
the right and quit holding conventions on
the sidewalks, the sidewalk space would
be found to be sufficient You cover
the ground completely. The wide side
walks and wide streets and avenues in
tbe business section of the city of Bir-
mingham are. the admiration of every
visitor. and we see no reason to change
any Of them. ~ w. b. LEEDY.

SUED BY SHERIFF
Claims He Was Elected

Montgomery. February 21.-(Special) y
Sheriffs in Alabama can use their own
discretion in carrying negro prisoners
into coaches for white persons or negro
sections of passenger trains. according
to the ruling of Judge w. w. Pearson
of the circuit court in the case of Sheriff
" A. Spenny of Autauga county against
the Mobile and Ohio railroad, today,
Sheriff Spenny sued for $1,000 for dam
ages alleging that he was elected from
the train at Montgomery while he had a
negro prisoner in custody because he
refused to carry the man in the colored
compa rtment. The railroad filed demur-
rer. but the court oVerruled it and the
case will be tried at the next term OF
the circuit court.
Judge Pearson held that IL the statutes
were strictly construed sheriffs with ne
gro prisoners would be denied passage
on railroads, as the law says no white
man can sit in a section furnished fos
cplored passengers. The court ruled that
