GOVERNMENT SAID
TO HAVE GOOD CASE
AGAINST GROCERS
Street Declares Evidence
Worked Up by Depart
ment of Justices Agents
Very Convincing

That the government had worked up
evidence which will result in an unusually
strong case against the Southern Whole
sale Grocers' association was informa-
tion furnished by Col oliver D. Street,
United States district attorney, who was
here yesterday. The case has grown
out of the injunction issued against the
grocers by Judge William I. Grubb about
two years ago in the celebrated antitrust
case against the grocers.
Colonel Street said while here that the
outcome of the case could not be pre-
dicted by any means, but that evidence
of the department of justice as worked up
by the special agents was very convine-
ing. This assurance of Colonel Street is
of considerable interest here when 1t is
recalled that at no stage of the disso-
luton suit which lasted ssome time was
Colonel Street ever doubtful for moment
has recently been started to punish the
grocers for contempt of court, it being
alleged that they violated that injunc-
ton, will come up for trial in June.
In connection with the suit it is tipped
for a certainty that the attorneys for the
grocers will attempt to exonerate them
selves by alleging that no injunction was
ever granted IN the dissolution suit. That
Is the expression of at least one attor-
ney for the association. 1t is recalled that
the grocers agrede to a compromise and
modification of the constitution. Whether
under the new modification passed upon
by the government. the injunction has
been violated is said to be one plan to be
pursued by the attorneys for the grocers'
association.

A ONE LEGGED BUTTERFLY
BY CHARLES II. MANDY

its leg; In fact, had pulled so hard that
they had pulled them off, and the beau
tiful butterfly was left with only one left
leg.
OF course, a butterfly does not fly with
its legs, but evidently believing that life
without it's limbs was not worth living,
1t either could not or would not fly away,
so it was taken in charge by the police
man." otherwise Miss Hutchinson, of the
welfare department.
To digress a moment The nature of a
policeman calling tends to create the i'm
preston that they are harsh and for
bidding, let among the members of the
force will be found many men whose
ear Is always open to the cry of distress,
and whose heart heats with sympathy for
the poor and unfortunate. But in the ex-
ercise of their duty they are sometimes
called upon to do seemingly harsh things
and to turn down fearful apepals for lib
erty.
Miss Hutchinson is full fledged ''po-
liceman,' with all the authority the po-
lice department of the city can confer
Her work, however, is principally con-
fined to the welfare department, of which
Mrs. Searight is the head, and which is
doing such splendid work among the
wayward girls of the city. Miss Hutch
inson's mission Is more to protect than
to punish; her first arrest, however, was
that of a man charged with mistreatine
young girl. She is full of sympathy
for the erring and is kindness itself tc
those who come within her charge. She is
well fitted for the novel position to which
she has been elected.
AS was stated, Miss Hutchinson tool

ment, it is said that she took it to OF.
ficer Patton and requested him to Osler-
ize it. 1t is further stated that Of
ficer Patton complied with her request

Kind in jefferson
County

Judge Samuel e. Freene and Judge Will
liam E. Fort are sitting jointly in the
trial of Walter Metcalfe in the first di-
vision of the criminal court. According

judges have presided over criminal case
in a COURT of record
As Judge Greene stated at the begin
ming of the case. the act creating the
second division of the court provided that
the judges could sit separately or to-
gether. The judges are sitting at the
request of Mr.. Metcalf, who specially
waived his right to triaI by jury, but
asked that both judges preside over the
trial.
The trial will be resumed this morning
at 10 o'clock. The examination of char
acter witnesses for the defense will be
taken up, after which Mr.. NIetcalfe Will
take the stand in his own behalf.

One of the many worthy institutions OF
the city is the Birmingham Humane So
ciety which of recent years has grown
from a mere handful of people to large
association of interested inen and wom-
en-. Its functions are many and various,
the principal features. however, being
the prevention of cruelty to children and
animals Since its reorganization a rev
years ago, and with the cooperation OF
other institutions of the city, whose pur-
pose is the welfare of childhood, much
better conditions prevail and much good
has already been accomplished.
Progress has also been made in the
prevention of cruelty to animals, but
much yet remains to be done, for there
seems to be a lack of sympathy for dumb
animals in the many instances that come
to the notice of the society. This condi-
tion the society is trying to overcome,
first, by calling attention to harsh or
cruel treatment of an animal and a warm
ing; second, by arrest followed by inter-
view with the recorder, and after sub
sequent contribution to the city treasurer,
One of the many purposes of the society
is the humane destruction of diseased
and injured animals. If the animal can
be cured of its injuries, we'll and good;
if not, the services of Special Humane
Officer Patton is called upon, who sends
them to the happy hunting grounds by
the Osler route.
Since being connected with the society
Officer Patton has often been called upon
and has sent into the never-ending
dreamland almost every animal, from
sick kitten to a fiea-bitten mule. He
has been solicited to stifle the pipes of
consumptive canary bird, but the limit
was reached recently when his services
were asked to chloroform a butterfly.
The butterfly in question was found by
one of the latest acquisitions of the po-
lice department. 1t was lying apparently
helpless on window sill at the city hall.
Its colors We'd with the beauty of the
rainbow. 1t was in the predicament OF

ing will come well within the law
The fact that Commissioner Weatherly
attended Memoli's premier concert and
made an address from the stage congrat-
ulating Birmingham on having such fine
band and welcoming the Sunday concers
as an institution is causing some spec
lation as to what action the city Will

many indignant remarks were heard.
