Belgrade, Servia -Czar Ferdinand of Bull gara has decided definitely to abdicate in favor of Crown Prince Boris, according to & Sofia dispatch published in the Poltka. He was said to have made up his mind follow ing conference with Emperor Francis Jo- seph of Austria, in which the latter ex- pressed the opinion that the entire family [ was likely to be thrown out of Bulga if Ferdinand did not yield. The latter lost his popularity with his subjects as the re suit of the disastrous termination, from a Bulgarian standpoint, of the Balkan war. Ferdinand though of the royal blood of France, was not born a monarch He was an officer in the Austrian army when elect ed prince of Bulgaria The country was then under a nominal Turkish suzerainty, but few years ago Ferdinand proclaimed himself ''czar of the BulgarianS," or "the little czar," as the Bulgarans spoke of him, though abroad he was generally referred to as king.

PAGAN COMPARES
 WORK OF POLICE
 IN 1913 AND 1914
Arrests, Convictions and Fines Are Almost the Same in Spite of
 Changed Conditions

That there is a peculiar destiny that shapes the affairs of struggling humanity is uniquely demonstrated in a compara- tive annual report of his department just made to the city commission by Police Chief Martin Eagan.
 For the two years of 1913 and 1914 the tctal arrests and total convictions for this city are almost the same. The pe- culiarity of the coincidence that, In spite of different police chiefs and different police court judges for each of the two years almost the same number of people should get into trouble and be convicted strikes almost every one who notices the report.
 Not only that, but the fines and costs collected in the recorders courts for the two years are also almost the same. Even in the number of arrests for specific charges there is an amazing similarity between the reports for the two years. The report in part is as follows Comparison of fiscal reports for years 1913 and 1914:

PUBLIC COMFORT STATIONS URGED IN VARIOUS PARKS Eckerle Also Wants Them Installed in the Con-
 gested Downtown
 Locations

Public comfort stations in the pub Hc parks and at several points in the downtown business section is strongly recommended by City Plumbing Inspec- tor Charles E. Eckerle in his annual re- port just submitted to the city com mission.
 The commissioners have not yet con sidered the recommendation which will be done as a part of the conference over the city budget, but it is under stead they are favorable to the sug- gestion if it is at all possible to if nance the undertaking.
 Birmingham is probably one of the few cities of its size in the entire coun- try which does not afford public lava tories and rest rooms for both sexes at prominent points especially in the downtown business section of the city. MT Eckerle suggests that they be es- tablished in the parks as well as in the downtown section. It is probable, however, that if the suggestion is adopted, a system of public comfort sta tions will be constructed by units and the first unit will be located in the congested part of the business section.
 The lattef part of MT. Eckerts re- port dealing with this subject is as fol- lows:
 Another very important matter that your honorable body is requested to consider is the construction and main- tenance of several public comfort sta- tions, say one in each of the city parks and childrens playgrounds and sew eral in the business part of the city. which places would have to be selected.
 Tn the development of a modern and beautiful city like Birmingham, the comfort and convenience of the general public plays important part One of the chief demands of city's develop menu is to afford sanitary toilet con- veniences for the rapidly increasing population. The need of these accom-. modations is even more urgent today in Birmingham than in the past and our city should follow precedents set by other municipalities in this matter of toilet facilities. which will accom- modate thousands without adding ma terially to the burden of taxation
 Our city is notable for it's public Improvements of all kinds, but in pro- viding public comfort stations for the use of its masses we have not kept pace with other cities. The subject of pub lie improvement is the first to receive attention from the press, lecture plat form and legislative bodies, but the subject of public comfort stations is much less inviting to the average speaker or writer. Delicacy of feeling. therefore. prevents the free discussion of this important subject, notwith- standing the fact that such accommo- dations enable the people to obey the physical laws which are most essential to the preservation of health.
 In the study of this subject we must take the viewpoint of the physician, for by so doing we are impressed with f the imperative need of the public com fort station. Respectfully submitted,
 "CHARLES E. ECKERLE,
 Inspector of Plumbing"

"OUTSIDE" EMPLOYES OF
 CITY TO WEAR UNIFORM

plumbing and building inspectors, smoke inspector. street department employees and So forth will wear the regulation uniform whatever it is to be.
 The pros and cons of the proposition were thoroughly discussed al the meeting yesterday. Generally speaking it met with great approval. It was at first be- lieved all city employees and officials should wear the uniform, but the mental anticipation of Judge Lane or Scudder Ryall in a uniform caused change of the plans. Besides this. President George Ward objected because he said he feared some one would mistake him for a hotel porter Clarence Lloyd grew excited over his prospects of being mistaken for a bootblaek: Commissioner Weatherly said people always had insisted he was d water expert" and if he was put in uni form they would surely think 1t was a bathing suit, while Dr. Cunningham emphatically stated he would not appre- ciate being handed pennies by people who would think he was an organ grinder. This phase of the debate developed the ruling that only outside" city employees should wear the uniform and as soon as the necessary prellminaries are worked out such will be done.

BOND BUYERS HERE AFTER SECURITIES Local Situation Is Getting Better Every Day, Say
 Bankers

As an evidence of a better feeling in the security market it was stated yester- day that several well known bond buyers from Cincinnati, Cleveland and New York were in Birmingham yesterday, interested in buying securities of the city and the county which have been on sale for sometime.
 Bond men interviewed local bankers yesterday and arranged to buy some of the local securities, and 1t was stated that increased prices had been received for some of the securities offered and placed. The local situation so far as securities go is getting better every day say bankers and the general opinion is that there will be very marked change Tor the better during the next few days even over the present situation, which is far from bad in the opinion of local men.

ton of waterworks plant is just as im- rortant as was the step taken by the voters when they authorized the bond issue three weeks ago. It is all a part of one big fight, u light in behalf of the water consumers of Birmingham, and the city commission proposes to carry it forward with just as much dispatch as wisdom will permit
 There will probably be much more to say in this regard somewhat later. when I hope to be able to go into some de- tails and give full information to the people who are backing the bond issue and the municipal waterworks.'
 Interest in what the city commissioners next step in the waterworl1s fight is to be Is intense and many inquiries are be- ing made daily.
