.L|GHTNER FRIENDOF
BIRMINGHAM RAILS
Former Citizen Talks of the
Tariff Effect on LOuisi-
ana Sugar Industry

Trade in Birmingham is the slogan OF
a. D. Lightner, chief traffic officer for
the Frisco lines in Texas, who was in
Birmingham yesterday. He has placed an
order here for % miles of rails for his
lines south of here, and also a consider
able number of switches with the Kilby
Frog and Switch company.
The orders were placed by the receivers
for the Frisco properties for which Mr.
Lightner was geneal agent in this city
for long while. He said yesterday that
he was personally very much gratified
that Birmingham was receiving orders
from his lines as he did not expect ever
to go back on Birmingham, where he
was stationed for so long and where he
has SO many warm friends.
Mr.. Lightner said that the new rails
would be for general work on the new
line. and did not indicate any extensive
construction. He said that the general
work of bettering conditions was going
on all the time, and that this, while of
large volume. was In the nature of rou-
tine purchase.
The tariff bill has not injured sugar
interests In Louisiana to any great ex-
tent" said Mr.. Lightner. ''It may mean
slight loss In the luxuries of life, but
as for having any great effect 1t is all
a mistake. The sugar growers in that
state have fine crop this year, and are
sure to make a great profit. They have
adjusted themselves as nearly as possible
to the situation and are not inclined to be
pessimistic over the new tariff regula-
tions.
New Orleans is destined to be a great
port of entry from all countries when the
Panama canal is completed. The other
day witnessed a fine example of the
receptive attitude of New Orleans to
immigrants. A stowaway was found and
instead of sending him back, as they
would have done in New York he was
taken up town, given new suit Of
clothes and found a job in short order
His picture was also placed in the news
papers. In New York they have such a
great number of them that they are more
strict than anywhere. In the south We
need the fine Germans, such as this boy
was, and other Europeans, to take care of
the ever increasing labor problems that
we have here. We are fixing up to take
care of a great volume of immigration
when the canal is completed. That move
ment is destined to fill this country with
desirable immigrants. and will eventually
solve the labor problem of this country.
The people of New Orleans are greatly in
terested in this new southern Development
and may be depended upon to do every
thing possible to help the cause along"
Mr.. Lightner came here on official bus
mess and remained only until last night
mt 10 o'clock, when he returned to New
Orleans.

Resources

Commissioner James Weatherly follow
ing the unsatisfactory meeting of rail-
road engineers on the viaduct scheme Fri

posed to exhaust every means to get via
ducts for Birmingham. In an interview
issued yesterday morning, Mr. Weatherly

The statement of Mr.. Weatherly is as
follows:
II would like for the public to under
stand clearly the present status of the
grade crossing problem.
More than a year ago, the city COM
missioners called a conference between
the railroads and the city to devise by
mutual agreement ways and means for
solving the grade crossing evil That
conference was held at the city hall
and representatives of practically all the
railroads were present At that confer
ence, 1t was agreed that each railroad
would select it's own engineer to meet
with the city engineer at an early date
and those engineers would get to work
on the physical data needed as basis
for any plan.
'Those engineers met with the city en-
gineer In the city hall and It was unani-
mously agreed. should work up the neces-
sary data and that the railroads would
furnish the city engineer all the data in
their possession ms to their physical lines,
and upon this information and such In
formation az the city engineer should
report to tile full body OF engineers a

Step Taken toMeet Demands
of Tentative Budget
Recently Adopted
THE PATROLMEN NOW
WORK BUT 8 HOURS
Order Goes Into Effect Tomorrow.
Exum Says Matter Has Been
Given Careful Consideration
by Two Commissioners

The police force will be placed on a
12-hour shift, effective tomorrow. Or
ders to this effect were communicated to
George II. Bodeker, chief of police, late
yesterday afternoon by Culpepper
Exum, president of the city commission,
and In charge of the police force pro
tempore.
The order means that the patrolmen
working now eight hours win Work IL
instead, so that the tentative budget
may be complied with and at the same
time give. In a measure. adequate police
protection to this city. The only losers
In the new arrangements will be the
policemen who have been accustomed to
work only eight hours, but who will
now work IL.
The force will after today become less

ber were divided into three shifts.
working eight hours each. the greatest
number at work at any one time during
tho "a hours would be less than 25.
With the policemen working IL hours
it is expected that better showing
can be made
Change Made Under Ward
The eight hour shift for policemen
was made effective several years age
under the administration of George b.
Ward, who goes into office as head OF
the city government next month. The
change from the 12-hour shift then
operative to the eight-hour shift was
the occasion for general rejoicing
among the men. The policemen have
worked under the short-hour system
for several years. although the city has
been very badly embarrassed as far as
finances are concerned.
The step Is held to be confession
by the city commission that the police
force Is inadequate In its present
numerical strength to take care of Bir-
mingham.
Chief Bodeker received his instruc-
tions last night and is arranging the
change, effective tomorrow. He has
made no announcement as to who will
compose the two shifts, but is expected
to work out the problem without con-
fusion.
Exum's Letter to B0deker
The note of Mr.. Exum to Chief Bode
ker follows
October II, 1913.
George III. Bodeker, Chief of Police.
Dear Sir-As the budget for your
department becomes operative on
Monday, October 20 which viii
necessitate the reducing the num-
ber of policemen about 25, and in
order that the efficiency of your
department may not be affected,
you are instructed to put your de-
partment throughout on a 12hour
shift instead of an eight-hour shift
as at present.
"This course has been decided
upon, after careful consideration
by Commissioner Weatherly and
myself, the two commissioners
present, and will become opera
tive on Monday next, and will re-
main operative in keeping with the
tentative budget recently passed.
II name Monday next SO as to
give full day after the close of
the fair as no doubt the large
crowds will be moving on Sunday.

AT conference yesterday between
President George II. Denny of the Uni
versity OF Alabama and local men, the
preliminary arrangements were made for
the launching of a campaign about Mo-
vember II to raise a fund Of s125,oOo for the
university free dispensary in this city.
Culpepper Exum, retiring president of
the city commission. has been named ana
has accepted the chairmanship OF the
executive campaign committee. The exact
date OF the beginning of the campaign.
which will last eight days, has not yet
been fixed, but 1t will probably be No
vember II, 1t was stated yesterday
II have nothing further to say about
the campaign for funds for the university
free dispensary other than I have already
said to the people of Birmingham" said
DR.. Denny yesterday. Il believe it is
good and meritorious undertaking: | be-
lieve the people of Birmingham think th|
same thing, and believe that they arl
going to raise the fund we asked for
the spirit that has made and is destined
to make Birminghams greatness"
Personal Workers
The campaign will be conducted by
committee of 100 named some few month";
ago by DIR. Denny, which I'm turn will be
in charge of one smaller committee called
the executive campaign committee and of
which Mr.. Extnn Is chairman. The orr
ganiZation will consist OF 20 men captain
and 20 women captains, each captain within
team OF eight persons. That will make
total of 800 persons in the active work.
Water the Fever" will be the slogan
of the campaign, and It's appropriateness
has been considerably commented upon as
the campaign relates to a medical dis
pensary for the treatment and prevention
of sickness, which is closely related to
fever. Headquarters will be located some-
where downtown. Efforts are now being
made to have them at the Hotel IIillman
A huge thermometer some 80 or 40 feet
high will be hung out in front of the
headquarters. On this Thermometer will
be figures showing the progress of the
campaign, or in other words, the rise of
the fever"
After the campaign gets actually start
ed, luncheon will be held every noon
at some large hall where meals will be
served free to the workers and reports
of the campaign will be made All these
details are now being worked out and
will be announced, together with the per-
sonnel of the teams and captains before
the campaign proper opens.
