Hearing Monday = Gov
ernment Asked to Be
More Specific

No trial of the case of tho Southern
Wholesale Grocers' association, members
of which have been charged with con-
tempt of court, is likely on March 3. the
date set. 1t was learned yesterday that
the defendants in the case wfl merely
be represented by their attorneys at that
time, and that date will then be fixed
by Federal Judge william I. Grubb for
the hearing of the case. This is ex-
pected to be the latter part Of April
Walker Percy. one of the attorneys for
the defense, stated yesterday that moth
ing OF any importance would occur in
it would not suit Judge Grubb's con-
venienee to try the case at that time,
and after the attorneys for the different
defendants have appeared and answered
to the charge in formal petition, the
case will be set for later date said
Mr. Percy. 1t was reported yesterday
that Attorney Caruthers Ewing and
Luke E. Wright, former secretary of war.
both of Memphis. would not be in Bir-
mingham during the trial Mr.. Ewing
and Mr. Wright are two of the defend
ant companies principal attorneys, hav-
ing represented the association in the
former famous case. The report was ex-
planned by the fact that they would
probably not be here March 3, as nothing
OF any Importance in the case will be
done then.
motion in the case asking that the
petitioner give more specific charges
against the defendants was filed in fed
eral court for the northern district OF
Alabama yesterday by Attorneys Luke e.
Wright, Walker Percy, c NJ Cooper and
Carruthers Ewing.
In the motion it is set forth that ]. II.
McLaurfn and other defendant members
of the association are charged by the
petitioner in the case with various Of
fenses for which they have been cited to
appear and show why they should not
be judged in contempt of the courts de-
cree some time ago dissolving the asso-
citation. The motion prays that these
charges be made more specific in that
where the defendants are charged with
giving certain companies to understand
that under certain conditions they would
cease to patronize them, the company or
companies in question be named, when
and by whom the threat or understanding
was made, and that the same be ap-
piled to the charge that the defendants
compelled marketing products through
certain wholesale men and that the de-
PENDANTS took certain steps to regulate
prices.
The motion is prayed for on the plea
that what is to be proved in the case
must be known before the attorneys for
the defendants can prepare their defense.

NORTH AND SOUTH
Property Owners Petition
City Commission to Open
Twenty-Eighth Street

That a new north and south street will
be opened from Fifth avenue to Avenue
G south is indicated by the commission.
petition was presented Yesterday py
property owners that Twenty-efghth
street north and south between the ave-
nues mentioned be opened. The petition
is signed, it is said, by majority of the
property owners of that section.
The commissioners passed the final con-
sideration of the matter until Tuesday,
but all three of them indicated that favor
able action will be taken. Informally, the
subject has been discussed time and again
and all of the officials are conversant
with TIE general situation.
The proposed stree is now blocked by
q network of railroad tracks on First
avenue out TO Avenue B. However, it is
proposed by the commissioners to open
up the street over that crossing. Consid-
GRAFTON of the measure with the corpora
tions interested has been on the pro-
gramme for some time, and it is said they
are reconciled to the payment of the
paving charges.
The city may force viaduct construe-
ton over that Tart of the proposed street.
Al least it IS believed that such propo-
sition will develop before the city adj
vertises the paving contract

CITIZENS ASK FOR
FILTERED WATER
IN HIGHLAND PARK
Weatherly Explains That
Steps Are Being Taken
Protect Spring From
Surface Pollution

The citizens In Highland park are
getting active about the water supply
from the city plant in that section.
Charles F. DeBardeleben, a resident
OF that territory, asked Culpepper
Exum yesterday for immediate relief
from the alleged contaminated water.
and also asked for fire protection
'If you don't give us filtered water"
said Mr.. DeBardelben. "Dr. Prince and
l intend to pay out of our own pock-
cts for line of the Birmingham Wa
terworks company to our houses. I do
not intend that my wife and children
shall be sick from the unfiltered wa
ter. 1 do not intend to wait until
typhoid fever breaks out to make a
complaint. either"
Mr.. DeBardeleben presented petit
tion signed by Judge William /. Grubb
of the federal court, DR.. e. M. Prince.
]. S. Coke, Lee c. Bradley. A. B. Har-
ris, c. f. DeBardeleben and other res
idents of that section.
In their petition the residents point
luton from surface sources 1t Is point
ed out that the residents there have
only terra Gotta water pipe and that
seepage into the underground stream
is almost certain to cause impurity
In the opinion of the signers to the
petition there is nothing that can be
done to remedy the situation except to
filter the water. The residents say that
the tank holds only $4,000 gallons Of
water and If fire We're to break out
in one of the. homes there 300 900 gal
Ions per hour would be needed to
quench the flames Mr.. DeBardeleben
characterized the water supply as a
toy.
President Exum assured Mr.. DeBar-
deleben that he for one would not con-
slider a moment selling water which
was polluted and that Immediate ac-
tion would be taken toward getting
good, pure water supply. AS for fire
protection. Mr.. Exum said that would
be considered later, as the health of
the residents of that section was the
first consideration.
AT the commission meeting the pe-
tition was presented and was referred
to Mr.. Weatherly. He explained that a
gagged now in arranging that no sur
face pollution shall get into the
spring.
IF after this Improvement is COM
pleted we find thut the water is i'm
pure" said Mr. Weatherly, 1T viii be
our duty as a corporate body to stop
that supply OF water. However, ] be-
lieve after this surface proposition is
corrected the residents of thar section
viii find that the water is pure and
wholesome"
The petition is 10 be reported upon
Friday
The city of Birmingham bought that
supply Of water from some property
owners who built it when Highland
park was first opened. The supply is
a part of a park purchase

What'll Stop
Sour Stomach?
They Act Quick and Relief Is Almost
Immediate.

There are some things so exactly
right that to mention them brings
calm and repose. And to use Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets gives the stomach
just that kind of lift that makes YOU
check up 100 per cent to the good.
Particularly is this true with those
who suffer with sour stomach. You
feel so mean that you actually hate
yourself. And yet in few minutes
these tablets sweeten the stomach, ar
rest unnatural fermentation, start q
powerful digestive action and prevent
the formation of gas.
They are composed of only such di-
gestants as are approved by the very
best of physicians.
Real. live. progressive people want
to be around where the activities of
life embrace whatever circumstances
dictate II a house party serves a
Welsh rarebit go TO ii. 1t isn't the
easiest thing in the world to digest.
tis true but what of il? Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets will take care of
you. Keep your stomach in control and
your dreams won't see an army OF
hobgoblins playing hobs with your
nerves. Many physicians regularly
prescribe Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
for the stomach disorders Of patients
who are Ill with some constitutional
malady. They do so for the reason
that these tablets are not patent
medicine and their composition Is
known and recognized as the most
approved and most powerful OF all
dgestants.

OBJECT TO PARKING
AUTOSON FIRST AVE.
Petition From Number of
Merchants Presented to
the Commission

The question of parking automobiles for
an unlimited time in front of downtown
business houses came up yesterday and
was referred to Mr.. Exum for investiga-
tion.
A business man of the north side of
First avenue between Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets, with a petition signed
by all but one of the merchants on that
block, requested the commission to clear
that space in front of their places Of
business which is constantly occupied by
parked automobiles. The merchants are
published for the reason that it is as
serted trade would be lost from those
whose automobiles are now causing the
trouble.
1T was reeited by the merchants that
their stores are almost hidden from view
by the automobiles being there all day
long, and it is getting to be very grave
matter.
President Exuln, who drafted the traf-
fic laws, and who is interested deeply in
that subject received the petition and
said he wished widespread publicity be
given the matter as he did not wish to
inflict any hardship or Inconvenience upon
automobile owners or the merchants Tn
der the traffic laws the merchants have
the right to petition that the space be
cleared in front of their stores and police
action will follow

Exun1 and Weatherly Have Spirited
Tilt During Consideration of Smoke
Ordinance By the Commissioners
EXUM AND LANE ARE BOTH
AGAINST DRASTIC ACTION
Large Party of Manufacturers Before Commission Yesterday
Amendments Suggested-Fnal Action On Proposed
Ordinance Is Again Deferred Until Friday

The unusual spectacle of citizen. tax
payer and manufacturer almost kneeling
to city commissioner and imploring that
official not to ruin long established
business was witnessed at the commits
sion meeting yesterday. 1t was while dis
cussing the smoke ordinance that Thomas
Caldwell of the Caldwell Watson COM
rany begged Mr. Weatherly not to ruin
that successful foundry plant.
In voice trembling with emotion Mr
Caldwell said:
You want to run me out of business
For 30 years 1 have labored day and
night working up my business and now
after it's successful you, Mr.. Weatherly.
by this smoke ordinance will ruin me.
That is what you will do if this unrea-
sonable ordinance is adopted"
At the city hall there has never been
such scene of supplication as Mr.. Cald-
well acted In trying to get what he
termed reasonable legislation from the
trio of commissioners
The appeal of Mr. Caldwell was not
the only one A half score of manu-
facturers argued and pleaded with the
" DO Tch5OUdDle dDOuI the
smoke ordinance. DIR. Boland was bolder
than Mr.. Caldwell while ]. w Donnelly,
a well known laundry official. stated the
case of the manufacturer with delibera-
tion and fairness. Mr.. Exum and Judge
Lane indicated that they did not intend
to vote with Mr.. Weatherly and when
the argument was about to be close Mr..
Weatherly said: II ask no courtesy from
this commission. If you want to kill this
smoke ordinance then kill it. Don't con-
slider me in any way But I would like
to say that you have heard only one
side OF this case. These men know
are honorable and good citizens, yet they
are actuated by selfish motives somewhat
and should not be taken without investi-
CATION. You have not word from your
smoke Inspector
Il prefer the advice of this delegation
to that of the smoke Inspector inter-
rupted President Exum.

PLANS TO RENAME
STREETS OF CITY
City Engineer Proposes to Make the
Street Numbers Odd on Southside
and Even on North

Pursuant to instructions of the com
missioners the city engineering forces are
engaged in tentative plans for rearrang-
ing the streets and avenues of Birming-
ham. The city as now arranged has
multiples of many streets and avenues,
and such has caused endless confusion
among some of the very best informed
men here.
The city engineer is, it is said, arrang-
ing a plan whereby all the streets on the
North side are to be given even num-
bers substituting Second street for
Twenty-frst street.. and so on, while on
the South side odd numbers will be used.
Broadway has been suggested for
Twentieth street. although nothing def
mite has been done as to that
The plans as now arranged will not be
submitted to the commissioners for sew
eral days on account of the tremendous
amount of details connected with the
work. However, as rapidly as possible.

commissioners are as one on this propo-

AGAINST PROPOSAL
TO WIDEN SIDEWALKS
Petition Presented to the
Commission
ACTION Is HELD UP
City Engineer Will Take No Steps at
Present Toward Widening Four
Blocks of Sidewalks on
Second Avenue
ACTION IS HELD UP

A damper was thrown over the ardor
OF the commissioners yesterday as to
widening the sidewalks on Second ave-
nue. from Nineteenth street to Twenty
second street A petition and delegation
appeared signed by practically Is per cent
of the property owners objecting TO the
proposition. Mr.. Exum, who voted for the
wider sidewalks confessed that MY
wishes to widen the sidewalk are some
what dampened by this showing
The petition was presented by ]. l..
Yaneey. who said that only one day had
been used in getting up the petition other
wise he was of the opinion that 90 per
cent of the property owners would have
been on the petition He said that prao-
tically every business man on that street
was also opposed to the plan.
The commissioners explained to the
petitioners that the advice of the city
engineer had guided them in the matter,
and his information was based upon ex-
periences of other cities.
They assured the citizens that no ac-
tion would be considered which would in
fliet upon them hardship of any kind.
The citizens were then given the opinion
of Mr.. kirkpatrick. city engineer, who
said that expert figures indicated that
the sidewalks were more congested than
the streets, and that therefore the side
walks space should be added to. That
opinion backed up by the census taken
of traffic in that locality guided the
city engineer in making the recommenda-
tions.
The petitioning property owners and
agents included J. L. Yancey Mr. Gill
lespy the First National bank the JEFF
ferson County Savings bank, Bailey &
Howard and w. B. Leedy & Co. They
represented 1895 lineal feet of 24o0 lineal
feet which is 75 per cent of the property.
Commissioner Lane said that he had al
ways been apprehensive as to the wider
sidewalks and would oppose the proposi-
ton to the last ditch. President Exum
suggested that census be again taken
of traffic conditions. and upon some
practical plane the question be determ-
ined In the meantime the city engineer
was instructed to postpone any action
whatever upon the matter until advised
further by the commissioners.
