WELL PATRON|zED
All Night Service Over Five
Lines of the B. r.,

TEMPLE EMANUEL

Success for the "owl' street car system
was Indicated this morning when what
was admitted to be a very good patronage
was handled by the first all night cars in
the city OF Birmingham. The first five
cars left the downtown district over their
regular routes at o'clock this morning.
The five lines in operation all night last
right were: North and South Ensley,
Powderly, North and South Highlands,
East Lake and North Birmingham. BY
mistake the North Birmingham car was
not mentioned in the list yesterday.
Beginning at o'clock this morning the
cars on these five lines left the business
district every hour. leaving the end OF
their routes on about the half hour. The
regular cars now stop running at 12:3o,
the owl cars begin at ! and run every
hour thereafter until 4:90 o'clock when
the regular schedules are started again.
The agreement by which the all night
cars are now operated was reached some
few weeks ago between George II. Harris
of the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company, J. r. Mccutcheon, and
IC Exum president of the city commits
sion who CONFESSED q committee of three
TO decide on the matter. The agreement
then made was that the cars are to be op-
Grated for 30 days. beginning at mid
night. February Is, and if at the end of
that time they were shown to be paying
operating expenses, they would be malu-
tanned, but If they were operated at loss
to the street ear company, the service
would he discontinued.

Believed This Action Will Be
One Outcome of Slagpile
Controversy
VOLUNTARY ACTION
BY THE COMPANY
Judge Lane Says Ovens Will Be
Permanently Removed Within
Year--Have Been Source of
Much Complaint

Commissioner A. o. Lane announced
yesterday that the Sheffield Steel
and Iron company was arranging to
remove its coke ovens and that such
would be an accomplished fact with
in the year.
The announcement of Judge Lane
that the company intends to contribute
so much to the betterment of the First
avenue section and the city in general
lis said TO have become part of the
Stag pile controversy.
Judge Lane would not discuss in de-
tail the removal of the coke ovens, but
said negotiations were under way now
which would, he firmly believed, result
in the removal of the sloss coke ovens
within the coming few months. That
the matter had been under discussion
for some time was intimated by Com
missioner Lane.
Speaking of the Stag pile controversy
Judge Lane said that the company had
suggested certain matters in connec-
ton with that obstruction which would
be taken up at a meeting Monday.
"The company has coke ovens there
also" remarked Judge Lane, but l
assure you they win be removed in
12 months. They will be removed vol
UNFAIRLY by the company. They will be
permanently discontinued. That, | have
been assured, is the plan of the COM
pany. 1t is useless for me to COM
ment upon the great good such a step
will do to that end of the city The
Stag pile controversy led up to this
r fn 1nNfhinR that
will injure the Sloss company. The Of
ficials assert that to force them TO
comply with our order would entail a
heavy loss. | am inclined to act con-
servatively in this matter. do not
intend to do anything which will in
lure any of our industries. The Sloss
company coke ovens have been mere
for some time and have often been
the subject of complaint. | think sew
eral suits have been started in con-
nection with them. hope the negotia-
tions we have now in hand will result
in the removal OF the coke ovens, as
| am sure 1t Will"

avenue. The smoke from the ovens
has contributed very much to the dis
comfort of citizens in that section.
The Sloss officials have pointed OUT
that no good would result by opening
Second avenue, for across that ave-
nue. over 20 railroad tracks are now
constructed The small benefit TO be
derived from such a move as against
the removal of the coke ovens is eN-
pected to settle the Stag pile matter
Monday in favor of the coke ovens De-
ing removed.
The Sloss coke ovens have been To-
Gated in their present place for many
years The construction of car line
alongside the ovens and furnace plant
and the heavy residence development
east Of the furnaces have caused IN
numerable complaints about that STU
alton. That the end of the coke oven
nuisance is in sight Will be OF vide

Officially that the water had been said

VIOLATIONS OF THE
STATE MINING LAWS
I0S Arrests During 1912-Certificates
of Five Mine Officials Revoked
by State Board

There were los arrests for violations Of
mining laws in 1912, according to Chief
State Mine Inspector C. II. Nesbitt. who
said that these figures are in excess of
what the figures will show for 1918.
The persons arrested were for the most
part foremen, fire bosses and others in
and around a. mine controlling the am
munition. The penalty for negligence in
obeying the state laws usually falls on
these persons.
The certificates of five mine officials
were revoked by the state mining board
as the result Of violations of state laws.
The certificates of three others are being
held pending action by the board on
their cases. The records OF the chief
mine inspector show that over so per cent
of the persons arrested for violations of
the mining laws were convicted by the
county courts in which they were tried,
and that the fines in these cases ranged
from $40 to $50.

the object of the business Mems league
to educate the women of Birmingham to

last night correspondence which had oc-
CURED between him and E. Laekmond,

the position of government printer.
