party has been so far at WORK on the

in the basin, and that this work will
take some time yet to complete. Some
of the party are running the prelimf-

'I am saying goodbye to Frisco and
its army of fine fellows with real sad
ness.
I'VE have won many a fight together
because officials and men stood shoul-
der to shoulder.
mo line in the southwest has enjoyed
a better growth of traffic than the Frisco

nous and self-sacrificing efforts to handle
it well than those w.lo represent this
property.

IITEWASH
A COAT Or "
ny CHARLES H. MANDY

bovines. who make his business possi-
bic, are coted with liberal supply
of whitewash. There is possibly no
business or occupation that is so COM
pletely covered with laws, rules and
regulations as is the dairy business.
Probably no business requires such un-
ceasing hard work with such small re-
muneration 1t is right and proper that
the dairfes should be regulated for the
lives of thousands of children, and
those of adults. for that matter, are
dependent to large extent on the pur-
ity of the milk supply of the city
To the credit of the dairymen OF the
city be 1t said that as a rule they make
every effort to comply with every re-
quirement of the city. yet rarely a
week passes that a bunch of them are
not hauled up before the judge OF the
police court for some infraction of the
rules. Yesterday a dairyman was ar
rested and brought to court. The al
legged offense was selling milk in the
city that came from an unwhitewashed
barn" Judge CASTOR. who appeared for
the defendant, demurred to the war
rant on the grounds that the milk
came from full blooded Jersey cows
and not from a barn. and while. he
acknowledges that the bungalow
wherein the cows aforesaid "lay them
selves down to sleep" was not white-
washed, he contended that it was a
new structure, and made of sweet
smelling pine and was cleaner than any
old barn in the country, no matter how
many coats of whitewash covered its
CRIME and filth. The case was passed
until Friday, so that Judge Cabaniss
can look up the authorities as to
whether the milk can be sold in the
city that comes from cows who reside
in unwhitewashed apartments.
Cleanliness is said to be next to God
liness, but it has been decided by no
less authority than the medical corps
of the United States army that it is
best to destroy refuse by fire rather
than cover it over with lime. The ef-
feet of whitewash as a germ destroyer
has been seriously questioned, and
while 1t undoubtedly adds to the ap
pearance of farm yards in general and
daries in particular. its merits are said
to have been much overestimated.
{. So. on Friday next. the question of
whitewash or no whitewash will be
thoroughly thrashed out as Judge. Gas
ton expects to show the court what
was stated in the opening paragraph
of this article that "whitewash, lik q
charity. covers a multitude of sins"

necessary that we should see to it that or

whisked on the high-powered motorcycle
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayer were second in the
run and were Immediately followed by
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Stubbs. Accord
ing to accounts of the accident received
in Birmingham by long distance tele-
phone, the Mayors were speeding at a
rate estimated at about 45 miles an hour
over a rough country road.
1t was about 7:30 O'Clock and the motor
cyclists were approaching Springville,
about 81 miles from Birmingham on the

the accident happened. The Mayors did
not see the hole in the road near a
ditch, until they were on it and it could
not be avoided. There was a scream

TWO POLICEMEN
ARE BOUND OVER
Strong and Moreland Held
on Manslaughter
Charge

T.. b. Strong and II. Fl. Moreland,
members of the Birmingham police force,
were bound over to the grand jury yes
terday on a charge of manslapghter in
the second degree by Judge H. B. Aber-
nethy of the court of common pleas.
The preliminary hearing has been on
for several days and on Friday last the
Judge and the attorneys in the case and
other persons interested went to the
scene of the killing at North Birming-
ham, The arguments were made yes
terday morning. Hugh Locke. assistant
solicitor, and Borden Burr represented
the state f. d. Macarthur aid VIII
Howard were attorneys for the defend
ants.
The killing occurred short time ago
at North Birmingham. The two officers
had located a quantity of stolen property
and were watching for the person who
had hid 1t. The deceased, negro named
Brown, approached the place and on
being told to halt, broke and run. The
officers fired on the fleeing negro with
fatal results. The contention of the state
is that the officers fired too hastily and
that Brown had a right to be at the
place where he was killed.

the guarantee of financial stability that

bind the United States to enforce the col

that would have bankrupted the country;

MIDNIGHT WRANGLE

Tuesday night about IL O'Clock
the neighbors in ward No. 4 were
aroused by the rafting Of rocks,
tin pans and pistol shots around
the house owned by Dollie Dunn
ington. The cause of all this
racket is not clearly understood.
Reports come from those who
heard the noise that it was very
disturbing and that they felt I'M
safe to even get out and get any
details of the affair. The prop
erty owner was much frightened,
and said Il am a lone woman with
only my four-year old son and
my husband left me two revol-
vers to protect myself, T" so it ap-
pears that she must have been
doing the shooting. It's thought
that a gang of boys did the throw
ing of the rocks. Some window
glass is broken out, and other lit
tie breaks about the house can
be noticed.

Friedman Patients Not Cured

Official reports from the hos
pitfalls in New York where tuber-
culosis patients were treated by
Doctor Friedman with his live
turtle vaccine now are cited by
his enemies to prove that 80 per
cent of the patients are worse
rather than better. A movement
is on foot among medical men to
prevent the further use of the
friedman treatment in this
country.
The board Of health of New
York city on Thursday forbid the
use of living bacterial organisms
in the treatment of human beings
for disease. This was aimed at
the friedman vaccine, although
the name of the German physic-
ian was not used.
