SLAGP|LE IS BEING
MOVED RAPIDLY
10000 Cubic Yards Are
Gone and But 100000
Remain

One-third of the old Sloss Stag pile
already has gone the way of all the
earth and within another so days it is
believed the famous old bone of con-
tention" will have passed out of the
history of Birmingham.
Solon Jacobs, president of the Bir-
mingham Stag company, which is NOV
ing the great pile of Stag for the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad, stated yes
terday that about $4,000 yards had
already been removed and that there
were about 100000 yards remaining to
be handled.
A force of about 25 workmen equipped
with steam shovels and automatic ma
chinery are eating away the great pile
of Stag that since the early days of
Birmingham has been a landmark and
about which there has been staged
many a political tea party. The pile
of Stag has closed up some of the most
important streets connecting the main
part Of the city with the eastern section
of the city and these streets will be
opened when the pile Is gone.
The Stag is being used by the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad as ballast
ing on their double track work nortf
of Birmingham.

STRIKE SITUATION
FAST CLEARING Up,
SAYS JUDGE LANE
Police Go Back to Regular
HOurs-WOrk Resumed
on All the Large
Buildings

No truer sign that the strike among
the buildings trades of Birmingham Is
over can be furnished than the fact that
Chief of Police Bodeker announced yes
terday that the vigilance of the police
force had been reduced to an amount
equal to the dismissal of 1O1 policemen.
As matter of fact, only Is of the
extra policemen who were taken on to
help handle the strike situation have
been dismissed but the entire police force
has been placed back on its regular
working shift The force during the
strike was working shift and half,
so that the action amounts to the dis
mssal of the services of 101 policemen.
There were no disorders of any kind
yesterday from the strike situation, Chief
Bodeker said Full forces of workmen
were on duty on the large construction
jobs, such as the Jefferson County bank
building, the two hotels and the Ridge
ly apartments and everything indicates
that the agreement as signed up Friday
between the unions and the Independent
strikers to all intents and purposes end
ed the sympathetic feature of the strike.
No agreement has yet been reached with
the master builders, who hold out for
an open shop, and who state they are
going right along with their work on
this basis. The situation yesterday was
apparently identical with what it was
before the strike was called on account
of the wage dispute with the master
builders some two weeks ago.
The only apparent results that can be
said are due to the strike seems to be
the loss of some $4,000 in wages by the
strikers and the tying up of all build
ing operations for two weeks.
1T appears the strike situation is fast
clearing up said Judge A. o. Lane.
commissioner in charge of the police
department, yesterday. "All but one or
two of the allied trades have returned
to work, l am informed and we are
anticipating no more trouble

Capt Joe V. Allen, back tax commits
sioner of Jefferson county, and Frank
Hewitt, tax assessor filed their state
ments with the board of revenue yester-
day afternoon, as required by law. Cap
tain Allen estimates the total property
tax raises by him will not exceed $4,000.
1t will be remembered that last year

which brought about a storm of protest
from the property holders and persons In
terested A strong effort was made
to have the members of the
board of revenue refuse to docket
the cases, but on vote of three to
two the cases were docketed and the
hearing of each case set.
A large number CT cases were settled by
agreement between Captain Allen and the
property owners but in the cases tried
before the board of revenue but few OF
the raised assessments were allowed en-
tire, although in many instances raise
was allowed by the board
The raises for the year 1918 filed yester-
day by the board will be checked over and
1t is understood If any have been made
for 1918 that were adjudicated last year
the board will refuse to docket them, but
that all others will be docketed and the
date of the hearing set

COMPANY | TO ASK
TO Be MUSTERED0U
Members Discouraged at
Failure to Have Support
of Citizens"

The members of Company L. Fourth
infantry. Alabama National Guard, sta
toned at East Lake. have prepared
petition to have the company mustered
out of service. The company armory
is entirely inadequate, being the third
floor of the fire department, and men,
bers of the company say that this has
discouraged those who wished to make
the company one of the best in the
state.
Capt W. p. Newton was installed about
a month ago as commander of the East
Lake company and only recently resigned
his post, giving business reasons as the
cause.
The petition, which is being signed by
many members of Company l., is as fol
lows: "Owing to adverse conditions To-
cally, and our failure to have the sup
port of the citizens and our inability to
acquire adequate company quarters, and
realizing that under these conditions we
cannot render the service required of
us by the state, we, the undersigned
members of Company L, Fourth infantry,
petition and request that Company L.,
Fourth infantry, be mustered out of serv-
ice of the state of Alabama
Captain Newton has posted the follow
ing order in the company arinory: May
81. 1918. All members of Company l. will
turn all property and equipment over
to the quartermaster sergeant after the
above date. Failure to do SO and prop
critics in possession Of any member after
that time makes him liable to courtmar-
tial under the military laws of the state
of Alabama"
Captain Newton is at present absent
from the city and no statement could
be secured from him.

ASK LANE TO MAKE
SENTENCE LIGHTER
Pratt City Citizens Ask Clemency for
Ed Shell, Who Is Serving SEN

A petition signed by large number
OF citizens of the Pratt City neighbor-

Lane requesting him to set aside a part
of the sentence of Ed Shell, white
man, who few days ago was sentenced
to fine of 500 and so days on the
streets for carrying concealed weapons.
Judge Lane has taken no action on
the petition and stated yesterday he
would not do so unless some recommen-
dations to this effect were made by
Judge Fort. The case was appealed
from the recorders court at Ensiey and
the city officials refused to reduce the
sentence because they hope that a few
such sentences may have some effect in
curtailing the very prevalent practise
of pistol toting."

BENNETT WOULD
DANISH SHINGLES
Offers Ordinance to Com
mission Extending the
Fire Limits

Fire Chief A. V. Bennett filed with the
city commission yesterday ordinance
to extend the fire district of the city to
the city limits of Greater Birmingham.
The ordinance thus prohibits shingle roofs
being built within the city limits after it
becomes a law.
The ordinance will come before the CITY
commission at the regular Tuesday meet
ing today, but there Is some speculation
as to what action If any will be taken in
regard to it.
1t is well known that Chief Bennett Is a
staunch opponent of shingle roofs and de-
sires to abolish them forever by prohibit
ing any more being built. This plan, 1t Is
admitted. will take several years before
1t would begin to show much effect on the
number of shingle roofs, but at the same
time there Is no doubt but that in time
II would abolish them.
During the recent inspection of the city
by the Alabama Fire Prevention society
the experts were very emphatic In thelr
condemnation of the shingle roof In Bir-
mingham is being one of the greatest
causes of fire loss. which In Birmingham.
1t is alleged. is far greater than II
should be.

and conduct detrimental to good order
were recently filed by Attorney j. b.
