COLD WEATHER DOES

Wire Fence Around Resi-
dence so More Children
Can See Her

The cold weather has proved very un-
comfortable for Miss Fancy" despite
the fact that there is in her private
boudoir a nice roomy stove, crammed
with coal. She says she will be thorough
ly delighted when the open weather sea
son sets in.
A wire fence has been placed about the
lawn In front of Miss Fancys" resi-
dence to keep the curious from drawing
too near and to permit a larger circle
of kiddies around her. AS it was. the
children would huddle up about the ele
phant in a compact mass, causing her
much discomfort and fear that she might
some day trample on some OF her little
friends. Every day now she stands on
the lawn awaiting to receive her many
guests and despite the fact that it Is
sometimes colder outside than it is in the
building she remains at her post.
An addition has been built for "Curlv"

ARE PREPARING FOR
THE HOLIDAY RUSH
Southern Express Company Will Put
on As Extra Men-To Keep
Office Open Continuously

The carriers of Christmas gifts are
keenly alive to the fact that the "happy
Yuletide' is close upon an expectant
world, as was evidenced yesterday when
the various express agents and the par
eel post superintendent of the local
postoffice announced that they were
prepared to take care of anything
that comes along" The preparations
seem commonplace enough in the tell
ing, but when one recalls the many
hurrying vans and drays, the hundreds
of scurrying messengers and the gen.
eral appearance of expectancy that
combine to make Christmas the one
great-really great-event of the year.
they are not so commonplace.
The movement for shopping early has
gained such an impetus in recent years
that it is expected that Santa Claus will
have visited every child in Birmingham
by 10 o'clock on the night of the gath,
and this, of course, will make the shop
girls Christmas one to be enjoyed.
The Southern Express company will
give employment to As extra men dur
ing the holiday season, according to A.
J. Williamson, local agent. These men
will be placed on duty about the 10th,
when it is expected the annual rush
will begin, and will be dropped be-
tween December "a and January /. The
offices of the company will remain open
all the time, if it is deemed necessary.

tive there was another man with Richard
Son at the time he was shot
my husband mistook him for a bur-
elar," said Mrs. Deale, "and did what
suppose anyone would do under the same
circumstances. / notice the man shot
makes the statement that he was doing
some private detective work on our prem
ises. If we have an enemy in the world
do not know It, and cannot imagine
why man should say he was doing pri-
sate detective work on our premises
I'VE are sure there was another man
with Richardson, but at the time my hus-
band shot he did not even know whether
the man at the ladder was a white man
or a negro. He simply thought a burglar
was trying to get into the house and
fired"
1t was stated at st. Vineent's hospital
last night that Richardson had shown
great improvement yesterday.

The ringworm formed on their scaIps about

There was terrible itching and they scratched
till the blood came. They were very fretful
and could not sleep at night and they were
very cross.
They were treated for several months
with no Improvement whatsoever. Instead
of improving they were getting worse and
the ringworm was spreading and getting
larger. 1 was told they would never have
any hair and would always be bald. Then

MUCH UNCERTAINTY
ABOUT FRANCHISE
Lane and WeatherIy Favor
Competitive Proposition.
WILL DELAY ACTION
Nothing Definite Expected in Two
Weeks-Tidewater and KelIeys
Submitting New Propositions
to the Commission
WILL DELAY ACTION

Both Commissioners James Westherlv
ana Judge A. o. Lane favor a competi
i've proposition in regard to the Avenue F.
street car franchise, other considerations
being equal. they stated yesterday. This
Is taken to mean that the Kelleys. the
Underwater or Judge w. NJ. Walker stand

mltted IN writing to the city commission
several days ago, 1t is stated, which has
not been turned back. The Tidewater and
the Kelleys 1t is known, are submitting
new propositions in writing to the COM
mission. The exact status of Judge Walk
er's proposition is unknown. The pre-
'ailng opinion on the outside Is however,
that the granting of the petition to Judge

the exact status of the entire matter cp-
pears to be one of extreme uncertainty
All three commissioners stated yesterday
that their minds so far We're still abso-
lutely open to all arguments and COM
mitted to no petition.
1t Is believed that 10 days or two weeks
and perhaps longer, will elapse before
anything definite is done, as two new
propositions are now being drafted to be
presented to the commissioners and new
developments of almost any character
might be expected
The commissioners are going slow in the
Avenue + franchise because they believe
that it Is a matter of great Importance to
the city in the future. They state that
all four applicants are extremely anxious
TO secure the grant, and no better proof
could be asked of the value of the fran
chise.
1t Is stated that no proposition has vet
been received which would result In the
building of the line any sooner than a

Believing Migrants Cause
of City's Troubles, They
Will Be Subjected to
Relentless Warfare
ABERNETHY'S COURT
WILL HANDLE CASES
TO COAL MINE ROUTE
Six Trained Men Assigned to Duty
and Fight Will Be Con-
tinued Until Dissolute and
Idle Characters Are
Driven Out

The city commission has decided
that all vagrants must leave Birming-
ham or be sent to the coal mines.
The commission will begin at once
the most vigorous and unrelenting
campaign against vagrants ever
undertaken in the city.
The commission is convinced that
the vagrants are at the bottom of all
Birmingham's criminal troubles.
The campaign, which will begin at
once, will not be spasmodic affair,
but will continue until all the idle and
shiftless have been driven out.
Six special plain clothes men will be
assigned to do nothing else but look after
vagrants. These men have been selected
because of their long experience and
trustworthiness, but if they do not get
the results the commission wants. others
will be chosen.
All yagrancy cases will be taken di-
rectly into Judge Abernethy's court in
order that mine sentences can be i'm
posed at once and not let vagrants off
with fines. Judge Abernethys court and
all officials connected with it are on
salaries so that the fee system does not
enter into the present campaign

COMMISSIONERS TO MEET
WITH BOARD OF EDUCATION

President George Ward of the city
commission yesterday addressed letter
to President John L. Parker of the
board of education asking Mr.. Parker
to arrange date to suit his conyen-
ience upon which the two boards could
confer in regard to the city budget for
public schools. Mr.. Wards intention to
ask for this conference was mentioned
in The AgeHerald several days ago.
The purpose of the conference is to
discuss means by which the board of
education can keep within the limits
of the budget of 100000 made for them
by the city commissioners. 1t is stated
that this budget has been exceeded by
considerable amounts each year for the
last three years and the conference will
be for the purpose of evolving means
to stop this excess.

THEATRE ROUTES
MUST BE CLEARED

The gang will be cleared out which OBJ
structs the avenues leading to the city's
theatres. Persons lettering along these
routes must prove they have business
there or be arrested.
The street corner masher must go. The
vagrancy statutes are very broad and
constitute a wide dragnet. And the
statutes place the burden of proof on the
man arrested. He must be able to show
that he makes an honest living and that
his business requires him to be on street
corners-in apparent idleness.
The commission is firmly convinced
that the loafers and vagrants are the
cause of so much trouble in Birmingham
and the commissioners are unanimous in
their opinion that the driving out of
vagrants will make the future situation
much more easily controlled.
And by vagrancy the commission means
the whole statutory force of that term.
1t includes not only loafers, but gam
blers. petty thieves, beggars, pickpockets,
dissolute women and anyone who is not
able to show to the satisfaction of the
court that they are making an honest
living.
