Bessen1er NeWs

Bessemer February (Special)-On
the streets in Bessemer today nothing
much was talked of except the cuts made
by the city council at its meeting last
night The principal cuts made were the
Withdrawal of support from the city hos
pital, the Carnegie library and the city
park.
When seen this morning, DIR. Wa D.
Taylor stated that he favored the city
keeping within its revenue and said that
it was necessary for cuts to be made
somewhere, but thought that every effort
should be made to continue the donations
to the library and hospital. c. e. Faux
ner stated that he heartily indorsed the
cuts made by the council, but thought
that it didn't make enough
Ex-Mayor L. A. Lewis stated that he
has always been opposed to the alder
manic board drawing a salary and that
when he was mayor he vetoed the ordi-
nance allowing them to draw salary.
No other municipality in the United
States pays its aldermen he said, and ne
thought they should have commenced
their retrenchment by leaving the SlS20,
the amount paid them in salaries yearly,
in the treasury. The city donates to the
hospital and library $500 a year, and if
$3.50 was added to the $1s20, the appropria-
tions to the hospital and library could
still be made, he pointed out.
Under the agreement with Andrew Car
ncgie, he was to erect library to cost
$4,000, and the city was 10 appropriate
$1,000 annually for its maintenance. The
advisory committee of the library will
hold a meeting soon TO take some action
as to the cut made in the appropriation
of the city council. IN the event the ac-
ton is not rescinded just what Will be
done is not known.
William Martinez, a Mexican, who has
conducted a hot tamale and Mexican
chile stand on First avenue between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets for
several years, closed his place Tuesday
and left for his native country TO join
the rebel army under Gen. Felix Diaz.
The basketball team of the Bessemer
Athletic club has been putting In some
hard practice for the game Thursday
night when they will meet the fast five
of the Columbus Y NJ. c. A. on the local
court. This will be the last game of
the season and will probably be one of
the best ever seen in Bessemer. However.
the local boys will put up a game fight
and Captain Clay hopes to lead his team
to victory. Following the game a dance
will be given for the visitors
The play. Aunt Jerusha Quilting
Party will be presented by local talent
Friday evening at the high school audi
torium under the auspices of the Roberts
School Improvement association.
The No. fire engine made quick run
to Eleventh avenue and Nineteenth street
about $50 O'Clock this afternoon where
a lamp had exploded in a negro house.
The blaze was quickly extingulshed, very
little damage being done.

WHAT OCCURS ON PROPERTY :?

II the owner of any building in Bir-
minsham has leased that building for
gambling purposes. or if in that building
gambling occurs within his knowledge, he

This is an old law in Alabama, accord

Gently investigated the points involved.
and has successfully withstood the test
of the supreme court.
There is another law" stated Mr..
Howe. dealing with the same subject.
It was enacted during the special session
of the legislature in 1909. and provides
that the existences of barricades, buzz
bells, screens and the like are prima

knowledge. been considered by the su-

HARTMAN REFUSAL
UPHELD BY COURTS

New York, February 1s.-The re-
fusal of the late F.. Fl. Hartman to

he considered exorbitant was upheld
today by the courts. A jury in a re-
plevin action brought nearly seven
years ago by the financier awarded

The bill which Mr.. Hartman refused
to pay is for approximately $500 The
automobile repairmen kept the finan-
cier's car. Mr., Hartman sued out a
writ of replevin asking fer $500 for
loss of use of the car and $500 dam
ages.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-02-20

It will be under these statutes that in
dictments are made, il any are made, by
the present grand jury, in reference TO
owners of property in which gambling Is
alleged to have occurred. As is remem-
hered, owners of Birmingham property
have been ordered to Birmingham from
various points in Alabama to explain
gambling in buildings owned by them. In
each instance, the owners professed ig-
norance, and eontended that If gambling
was occurring in their property they could
not prevent it-especially if the police and
deputies have been unable to prevent it.
Tho property owners are also of the
opinion that IL enough evidence is abdueed
to indfct them, enough will be adduced 10
indict the people who are alleged to have
done the gambling, and that it will be
through the conviction of the latter that
their own must be obtained

The Wall Street Girl

Blanche Ring paid Birmingham the
honor of second visit this season when
she appeared at the Jefferson theatre YES
terday afternoon and last night in ",rhe
Wall Street Girl" Miss Ring was given
a most cordial reception and her return
engagement was very enjoyable to those
who saw her breezy performances and
heard her sink her rolocking songs Miss
Ring has buoyant personality and al
ways seems in the best of spirits, even
when a cold Is trying its best to get a
strangle hold on her good humor. 1t
Is pleasure TO hear her sing and her
comedy is at all times most refreshing
Her very presence has a tonic effect that
puts the 'glooms'' to rout and dives
care away. In THE Wall Street Girl'

boy and likes to do as the men do but
finally turns out to be every inch a
woman when the right man comes along

moter, and also John Chester, the broker:

ninger and Miss Sullivan did some grace
ful dancing, while Miss Spencer, I'm addi-
ton to taking part in some attractive
song numbers, proved a highly pleasing
person to contemplate, with her pretty
face and figure. VIII Rogers made a great

FIND SAFETY IN PRISON CELL
Many Instances on Record Where
Criminals Have Taken Refuge In
Jalls and PenltentlarIes.

The recent escape of patient from
the Poughkeepsie Insane asylum, fol-
lowed by his begging to be taken back
because New York was "too noisy" Is
no droller than many kindred instances
that have come to the attention of in
stitution authorities in the past. 1t is
well-known fact that inmates of the
state prisons often ask to be allowed
to remain permanently where they
have served number of years SEN
tence. They declare that it is actually
more like home to them than any 9TH
er place in the world where they have
been. AS the authorities have no pow
er to continue them as prisoners at the
expense Of the state the released con-
victs will often commit another crime
in order that they may be resentenced
to stay in their former prison home.
1t sometimes happens that criminals
wanted for an offense that bids fair
to lead to their capture and long
prison term will deliberately break a
law that will lead only to light SEN
tence. They do this at some distant
point and elude the detectives search
ing everywhere but in prison for them.
They have been known to enlist under
false names in the army or navy, much
as they detest the strict discipline to
which they must conform. They argue
they are safer in the army for three
years than being shadowed constantly
by detectives.
Others who often feel they are safer
in custody are "squealers" who fear
the knife or bullet of the gang" out
side. This was plainly shown in the
Rosenthal-Becker murder case, when
Rose and Weber and Schepps trembled
lest the accused gunmen's friends
should be able to reach them and carry
out revenge threats.
