B. .R.,L.&P. Co. MAY
GET AN INCREASE
To Be Paid 4 Cents Per
Mile For Carrying
Mail

An agreement will probably be reached
between the postoffice department at
Washington and the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company by which
the latter company will receive an in
crease of one cent a mile for carrying
the United States mail to Ensley, Wylam
and other points within the limits of the
city. The present rate is three cents and
a few months ago the street car company
petitioned the department for an increase
to five cents a mile, contending they
could not carry it at the present rate. The
matter was investigated by the depart
ment and a proposition was made that
the rate be increased to four cents mile
and that the street car company be given
additional contracts such as carrying the
mail sacks from the car tracks to the
various stations.
Superintendent Bum of the railway mail
service was in the city yesterday and it
is understood the contract under the four
cent rate will be signed up at once as
the street car company has agreed to the
proposition.

Two Lots Near Old Smith Residence South Ensley Line
Bought BY the Company and Two Donated BY
Col T. O. Smith

Battery d." the local artillery organ
ization, will remain part of the Ala
bama National Guard. as a site for new
armory was purchased yesterday after
noon and the excavations for the founda-
tion will be commenced at once. The
site is located on the South Ensley car
line near the old Smith residence and
consists of 4 lots, 50x14o. making a plot
200 feet front and 40 feet deep Two of
the lots were purchased by the company,
the other two being donated by Col. Tom
o. Smith, a retired officer of the Ala
bama National Guard and a Spanish
American war veteran
It will be recalled that the government
threatened to remove the $4,000 worth OF
guns and equipment from Birmingham
unless better armory facilities could be
secured. The officers of the local bat
terry, active and retired, decided to make
an effort TO keep the battery here and
to that end organized the Battery d
Armory company, which was duly in
corporated having for its purpose the
erection of suitable armory by popular
subscription. The articles of incorpora-

DIDN'T END LIKE
THE STORY BOOKS

Last night certain deputy sheriff
went calling on a young lady. Beneath
the silvery moon his Imagination ran
wild. With tho spontaneity of an en-
bryo Baron Munchausen he told of his
adventures bold and finally to cap the
climax he enacted for her special ben
eft his famous capture of notorious
negro brigand.
1T war like this" he hoarsely whis-
pered, as he reached for his handouts
and quickly snapped them on the fair
wrists of his companion, who was
aghast at his action-"that l put the
hooks on Blue Steel"--
But" interposed the fairest damsel
of Brighton. "why should you place
those things on me?"
'oh," more calmly from the deputy
sheriff, II was excited by my story and
/ will take them right on
However this proved easier said than
done and after an hour of twisting and
tugging with all kinds of keys and the
handouts still locked securely on the
girl the now thoroughly abashed deputy
sheriff went to police headquarters
where he told his stroubles 10 Chief of
Police Bodeker The obliging head of
the police department sent an officer
TO unlock the handouts. This was soon
done and the couple-well unlike the
story book they did not go on their
way rejoicing.

large firms, business men and corpora
tions. sufficient sum was raised TO pur-
chase Site which was done yesterday.
In order to show the good faith of the
company the lots donated by Colonel
Smith can only be used for military pur-
poses. The proposition is to build a two
story brick building on the newly ac-
quired site, the upper story for the head
quarters and locker rooms, the lower
floor for the gun room and drill hall. An
inclosure will be fenced in to be used
as rifle range
In speaking of the site and the pro-
posed armory. Major Dorrance, comman-
der of the artillery battalion, said;
THE site selected is well suited for an
ar1nory, as 1t is comparatively close to
the city and easy of access by the car
lines. We had a number of sites to choose
from and after carefully looking over the
field we concluded the site near the Smith
residence was best suited for our pur-
pose. / voiced the sentiments of every
officer of the battery when / say that
we feel deeply grateful to Col. Tom Smith
for his very generous donation. 1t re-
duced the cost of the site one-ha1f.
I'VE also desire to thank those who
have donated to this cause and expect to
show that it is a most worthy one We
will need further assistance in order to
erect a suitable building, but feel assured
that the funds will be forthcoming. This
will be the first armory in Alabama that
is owned by a military organization"

Allen & Bell. While Mr.. Allen was not
present yesterday when the consolda-
tion was effected as he is abroad, he
has been communicated with and had
fully concurred in the new partner
ship.
The firm of Allen & Bell is said to
be one of the best in the state and
since the partnership was formed sew
eral years ago has built up one of the
best practices in the city. Both Mr.. AL
len and Mr.. Bell have long been re-
garded as among the leading lawyers
of the city and state and each had
acquired prominence in the profession
previous to their partnership.
The firm of Burgin, Jenkins & Brown
is composed of three young attorneys,
all natives of the county, who by their
ability and close application to busi-
ness have built up a large and grow
ing practice. They will retain their pres
ent quarters in the Title Guarantee
building until October 1, when they will
move to the Farley building.
The articles of partnership were drawn
up yesterday and the new firm is
ready for business. They will do a gem

PRESENT PETITION
FOR CALL MEETING
OF SOUTHERN CLUB
Petition Turned Over to
President Smith and Some
Announcement May Be
Made Today

petition signed by members OF
the Southern club that a special meet
ing be called to consider a. change in
the bylaws In regard to the election,
removal and suspension of the secre-
tary of the club was filed yesterday
Col, t. o. Smith.
The petition asked that the meeting
be called for August IS. Inasmuch as
more than 10 names were attached to
the petition it is a certainty that a
special meeting will be held, although
1t is not considered necessarily incum-
bent on the president to call the meet
ing for the date specified in the pc
tition.
1t is the general understanding that
the petition grew out of the recent
dismissal of Secretary James Randall
and the election by the board of gov
ernors as his successor of Capt Frank
L. Demere, one of the best known cit
liens of Birmingham. II Is said that
there was and is considerable dissat-
isfaction in that action of the board
The petition was delivered yesterday
to Secretary Demere. and shortly aft
erward by the secretary to President
Smith. No action as yet has been
taken. but it Is thought that today
announcement Will be made as to
whether or not the meeting will be
called for August 2S.
Captain Demere last night at the
club expressed regret that news of tile
petition had been published IN The
Age Herald. This seems to me-" said
he, "a club matter and not news for
the general public. Personally. of
course. L don't care. L was not an ap-
plicant for the position of secretary.
was elected and accepted the place
Should it be necessary I could retire
without any strained feeling toward
anyone"
The matter OF the petition was a.
live subject of gossip last night The
late secretary. Mr.. Randall, one of the
popular club men of the city. was at
the club last night. He had nothing
to say.

Condemnation proceedings against the
Schwab property adjoining the site of the

will be filed in the next few days by
Oliver D. Street, United States district
attorney who is in the city completing
the preparations. The Schwab property
has So feet frontage on Fifth avenue
which the government has decided to add
to the site already purchased. A failure
to reach an agreement about the price
asked for the property and the amount
the government was willing to pay is the
cause of the condemnation proceedings.
