LANE SAYS RE NEEDS NO HELP ID RUN THE
 POLICE DEPARTMENT
Gan Do Without Assistance of Ward and Will Ignore His Recommendations,
 He Declares

II am still able to run the police de- partment without any aid from George Ward, and l am going to do so," ex- claimed City Commissioner A. o. Lane yesterday afternoon.
 T fiatter myself that still know lit- tie something about the police depart ment, and l am going to run that police department to suit me" added the judge, whose ire had been aroused by an nsaileged recommendation from President Ward re- garding the operations of the police and detective departments.
 A report had been heard that Captain Eagan had made a recommendation to Judge Lane regarding a plan of clearly outlining the separate duties of the police and detective departments and the report CT asked Judge Lane concerning it.
 Yes" he said, and his eye snapped, there has been such recommendation made to me, but it didn't come from Cap tain Eagan It came from George Ward. Fm not going to pay any attention to it, and I'd like for you to say so'
 ''I have always had a reputation for executive ability, and I think I'm able to run that police department to suit the people. If l haven't the executive ability to do so, I've certainly succeeded in foolng the great majority of the people in this town into thinking I have.
 ''rherell be no changes in the duties of the police or the detective departments now. If I see that any are needed at any time in the future l will so order. That police department is under my con troll and if there's anybody connected with it who don't see fit to do as l tell him. he may consider himself discharged v

vides for police patrol and started
 back for he city. At Twelfth street and Eleventh avenue. south, d motor cycle police scout ighted us and called
 on us to stop. It was. there that one
 of the best races ever pulled off be- tween a motorcycle and an automobile took place. Between you and me Nthe
 motorcycle Is an inferior vehicle ,Me for the motor car every time Well that old patrol touched only the high spots for awhile and before
 we reached town we had lost the mo- torcyele, We rode the center of the city-through Twenaeth-street and at Sixth avenue, north, near the Young
 Mems Christian association building. we carefully stopped the motor put out
 the lights and left the police patrol
 there by the euro and walked away. l understand that an hour or two later police scouts riding by on their bicycles 1 discovered the machine. Really, 1t was an exciting ride"
 And the boys, having finished drink 1 ing their "dcpes." started off tostling
 each other and laughing.
 When Acting Chief Martin Eagan was asked about the abduction of the police patrol last night he stated em- phatically that thora was not a word of l truth in the story.
 AS far as I can ascertain" said 1 Chief Eagln, from the patrol drivers, there Is not a word of truth in the | story that some high school boys bor-
 rowed tho police patrol Thursday night for Joy riding purposes. It ap- pears to me that the story emanated from the fertile imagination of idle youths I don't thinlx that there Is any
 thing to the story"

 We have no criticism to make of Judge Abernethy or any other officer who meroly did his duty said Judge c. c.

NORMAN MORRISON LEAVES SERVICES 0F THE B. R., 1. &P. CO.
Feels Impelled to Give Up Place After Being With ' ocal Company for
 26 Years

Norman Morrison has resigned from tho service of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. Having received what purported to be a promotion only to find that such was not the case. even in the face of an official statement to the effect that he was promoted, Mir Morri- son has felt so deeply aggrieved that he has severed his connection with the street railway lines.
 This Announcement will be heard with Intense regret by hundreds of friends ot MT. Morrison, who have for years as sociated him with the very life of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. Of all the men who have been i filled with enthusiasm for his work with that company and ambitious to promote the interests of the street railway com pany MT. Morrison has been pointed to as a striking example.
 He announced yesterday that after 2G years Of service he had determined tn qult the company and go into the real estate business He will be associated With Jack Allison Tn the 5telner building
 MT. Morrison very modestly said that ne had no comment to make in reference to the method by which he had been re- tired from the service of the local street railway company. However, the fact that he had served the company 26 years and that he had been subjected to emba rrass- ment attending the publication of an al. legged promotion created especially wide interest in the resignation as announced yesterday. It is stated by friends of MT. Morrison that he was never promoted by the company and that the announcement that he had been promoted was not only matter of surprise to him. but caused nm intending embarrassment As to this MT. Morrison had nothing to say last night.
 He started with the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company when the local concern was headed by Col f'hoch Ensley 26 years ago. MT. Morr son was the first postmaster of Ensiey and is NGiGl.aia iia Ia.

MUSGROVE STATES
 THAT ENDORSEMENT
 WAS PURE FORGERY
Letters From HObsOn Man. ager and From Author of Article Throw Light
 on the Subject
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-l1erald:
 In one of your issues of last week an article written by MT Hugh w Roberts, quoted Captain Hobson as having in dorsed negro jubilee singers in the fol- lowing terms:
 They are ladies and gentlemen of cui- ture.'
 I will say for your information that this charge was exploited in 1908 by thc then political enemies of Captain Hobson and was found to be false. The newspa- pers of the state, friendly and unfriendly, printed at that time a refutation of that same charge. I will further state that have in my possession letter from Charles P. Williams, manager of the Ju- bilee Singers, referred to, in which ne de- cares q must admit that the wording of the testimonial was purely my own. This letter is dated July % 1909
 In view of these facts I hereby respect fully request you, in the interest of fair ness, to print correction of this false charge and give it the same publicity ifs was given the erroneous quotation.
 It is with regret that I call your .tteli- tion to this matter because l am iure it was an unintentional injustice. The m;s- ever, if the writer had taken the slightest pains to ascertain the truth. Yours very truly. L. B. MUSGROVE,

 Sometime ago, a MT. LarlSins of Phila- delphia wrote a letter to The Age-Herald. He inclosed circular. On the front page were pictures of negroes. On the rear page was what purported to be an indorsement of these negroes by Captain Hobson MT. LarlSins, who declared himself to be a democrat, had been incensed, apparently, by reading the Angus MeSween articles in the Philadelphia North American a bitter antidemocratic newspaper in which MT. Underwood. the leader of the demo- cratic host in Congress. was assailed. and the fair name of Alabama and her people besmirched.
 An insinuation to the end that l knew the indorsement was a forgery. or that anyone connected with The Age-Hefa1d knew the indorsement was a forgery, could come only from an individual who is bitterly partisan as to be blind to the requirements of great newspaper l did not know whether MT. Hobson had written the indorsement or not I did not know. and do not know now, whether or not he has ever appeared on the same platform with these negroes and with titSt heSiotS tluttNoIcu lO entertain TOT financial remuneration. Until the appear ance of the letter of MT. Musgroye did not know either of the negroes had admitted that the wording was his | do not know, and do not care whether or not Mir. Hobson presented these ne- groes and in course of his presentation said things complimentary.
 There was the indorsement, however. t., plain black and white. Had | 4resnmet, that the indorsement was forgery might With equal justice have presumed that that each of 20 others was a forgery l knew that Mir. Hobson had delighted audiences on the chautauqua platform. l knew, too that these negroes had done likewise had no reascn to believe, therefore, that the indorsement was d forgery.
 But I did not know. Therefore. con tiary to the statement made above by Mir. Musgrove, or implied above by AIr. Musgrove. did not say under my sicna- ture that Captain 11obson had indorscd these talented descendants of some Afri- can cannibal. I did say that in circular which The Age-Herald had received ap- peared the followng--and then tram ecrbed the indorsement in question.
 am certain from what l know of the fairness of The Age-Herald that Tue Age-Herald would be delighted in further refutation of the forgery . to print the says that is now in his possession.
