was another and in few minutes there
was an ugly blaze started.
THAT is where the beauties of the
sprinkler system came in. The system
is operated in this way. There is a net
work of pipes all over the building con-
nected with a tank which has a high
water pressure on all the time. The pipes
are closed with soft solder and when a
certain temperature is reached the solder
melts and the water is turned on. These
pipes are called heads. Four of them
went off last night and completely
drowned the incipient fire.
Another item-when the head goes off
1t automatically turns in a fire alarm
Why, we would have been fighting fire
there this time next week if that blaze
had ever gotten away from US. AS 1t
was there was only damage of a few
hundred dollars from water where there
might have been hundreds of thousands
of dollars lost If it had not been for the
sprinkler system"

''Mr. Wood showed inexperience
and lack of judgment. The board

Commissioner A. o. Lane.
II think it is an outrage. They

him chance to defend himself or
know what was the charge against
him. They have not used him like

Recorder Wood OuSted
By the Commissioners;
JelkS CdbdniSS Elected
Action Taken By Commissioners Executive Session Yester
day Aftenoon-Lane Issues Statement That MIR Wood
Showed Inexperence and Lack of Judgment in
Disposition of Business

aThe action of the board in removing
Mr.. Wood was taken without any regard
TO charges heretofore made, or which
might have been made against him as
recorder.
1T was based wholly on the idea that
Mr.. Wood showed inexperience and lack
business of his court-a business which
requires considerable knowledge of the
world and of men. and considerable poise
and Judgment. The board thought that
the everyday. practical work of the court
as well as its extraordinary features
would be handled more effectually and
with more satisfaction to the general
public, regardless of class or creed or
sect by a man of more experience, and
especially of different temperament"
Agitation for Some Time
There has been much agitation for Re-
corder Woods removal from office for the
past several months. Several charges
have been filed before the commission,
the latest being those of J. B. Chrisman,
an attorney These charges, however,
were wit hdrawn at the commission meet
ing Tuesday and 70 explanation was Of
fered. 1t Is generally understood that
general understanding that the board was
already contemplating the removal Of
Judge Wood.
President c. Exum for the past several
months has been openly against Re-
corder Wood, stating he believed him In
competent. Commissioners Lane and
Weatherly however stood for the re-
corder and no action was taken. When
Recorder Wood became involved In the
recent building trades strike the commits
sion called him before 1T and heard sew
eral witnesses as to his behavior and
conduct. Upon the insistence of Mr.. Lane
and Mr.. Weathery the recorder was not
discharged. Mr.. Exum at this time made
the matter unanimous, it is generally un-
Wood was to be dismissed within short
| time.
No Previous Announcement Made
| 1t was not announced yesterday that
| there was to be any action taken on the
| Wood case. nor even that the commits
sioners were to hold a conference. The
conference began late in the afternoon.
There was no one about the commission
ers' offices and no one knew what was
going on behind the closed doors.
About $50 o'clock the doors opened, the
| commissioners filed out into the secre-
tary's office, where there was not a soul
present except an assistant secretary and
lone newspaper man. The announce
ment was then made of what had oc-
Cured.
Judge Lane introduced the resolution
discharging Recorder Wood and made the
motion that Jelks Cabaniss be elected his
| successor. The vote of the commission
was unanimous on both questions.
Yesterday morning Recorder Wood fined
two strikers, Tom Willard and Frank
Heck, s75 and $50 respectively on charge
of assault and battery in connection with
the recent trouble at the West End con-
vent during the building strike.

Weatherly Behind Move

Weatherly Behind Move
City Commissioner James Weatherly Is
the man back of the move. Mr.. Wealth
erly is deeply interested in the solution
of the grade crossing problem, which he
believes one of the most serious the city
of Birmingham now faces. He has been
keeping in close touch with the progress
being made by the city engineering de-
partment in gathering data and making
and at conference some few days ago
with City Engineer Kirkpatrick the lat
ter admitted that with the innumerable
other duties that were flooding his office
it would undoubtedly be long time be-
fore he could assemble the data his as
sistants had gathered, form a concise
grade crossing plan and make recommen-
dations Mr.. kirkpatrick stated to Mr..
Weatherly that il would be three or four
months before he could do it, providing
he could devote his entire time to the
matter.
In the meantime 1t had occurred to Mr..
Weatherly that as other cities employed
specialists, men who made It their pro-
fession to work out these grade cross
ing plans, it was the best procedure for
Birmingham. He held consultations with
two or three experts from different parts
of the country, one of them from Men,
pnis. and at the conference with his asso-
oiates yesterday recommended that Mr..
Stearns be employed.
At Work Without Delay
Mr.. Stearns is now in Birmingham. 1t
was stated yesterday that he was at work
30 minutes after he had been notified of
his employment
1t will be remembered that after con-
ferences with representatives of the rail
roads some few months ago the grade
crossing system for this city was left by
the commission and the railroad repre-
sentatives to the city engineer and ensi-
neers from each of the roads. This body
of engineers in turn left the matter in the
hands of City Engineer Kirkpatrick to
work up the data and form set of plans
20 submit to thern for their approval.
1t is this work which Mr.. Stearns will
do, and at the same time make specific
recommendations to the commissioners as
to cost and construction of these grade
crossings.
