officials; violated the freedom Of the
church by abolishing the authority
of the patriarch and substituted
synod controlled by the Gears. Finally
he crowned his efforts as a civilizer
and reformer by making the peasants
slaves to the noblemen.
These civilizing propensities were
appreciated by Peters subjects 80
much that the big bell, which used to
ring for the gathering Of the dumas
in Moscow, resounded in alarm. Peter
ouenched the rebellion in a sea OF
blood. Because Peter objected to the
wearing Of long boards and Jack boots
and his subjects dared to resent, 5000
of them were sentenced to death. The
cars ministers competed for the
prize as to which should execute the
greatest number, and 1t was won by
the cars favorite, Monshikov. Those
historians who dare tell OF these
crimes believe that If 1t had not been
for Peter Russia today would be on
the same level of progress as the rest
of Europe.
Peters bad reputation as a ruler
cannot be redeemed by the virtues
of his private life. His first wife was
Eudoxia, and by her he had a son
named Alexis, whom he made sue
cessor to the throne. He soon got
tired OF his first wife and fell in love
with Ammo Moons, daughter Of dram
shop keeper in Moscow. The Czarina
Eudoxia looked for consolation to a
young nobleman, Chleboff. Peter.
however, not wishing his wife to imi'
tate him in his amours, ordered her
to be shut up in monastery and
Chleboff to be impaled.
Even in this Peter wished to be
great. The impaling was done In his
presence, and while the unfortunate
lover was in agony the car climbed
the executioner's platform and, plac-
ing himself In front Of the victim, be-
gan to preach to him about he future
life.
Then Peter met he daughter Of the
poor Lithuanian workman, and event.
ually married her, and she became the
czarina under the name Of Catherine.
Because the Czarevitch Alexis opposed
this marriage and left the court, his
father had him brought back through
promises of forgiveness, which he
never kept, but instead had the court
sentence him to death.
When Peter found Catherine un.
faithful to him, he had her lover
Moons, decapitated, and it is said
that when he saw his victims head
roll from the block he could not mas
ter his joy, but rushed into the square
mounted the platform, seized Moens
head by the hair and laughed with
satisfaction.
1t would, therefore, seem that Peter
might justly be called the great
scoundrel." But his subjects had their
revenge. Catherine feared the car
and Menshikov noticed that he had
less influence with Peter, and under
stood that the alteration of the will
making Catherine his successor meant
the downfall of Menshikov. The latter
came from Peters school, and Cath
crime was fond of ruling, consequent
ly Peter died suddenly" and at the
opportune moment for Catherine ant
Menshikov. The rule of the reformel
was so much disliked throughout Rus
STA that no one thought about inquir
ing about the cause of Peters death
for it seemed to be a blessing fol
everybody.

MORE MONEY FOR
 CHARITY ASKED Delegation Appears Before Board of Revenue, Asking
 Increase

A delegation composed of the off cials of the Childrens' Aid society and the juvenile court appeared before the board of revenue yesterday and asked for an increased appropriation for the maintenance of the juvenile court and detention house. The board of revenue referred the matter to the welfare board appointed sometime ago to investigate the various charitable institutions of cation of charitable work.
 A member of the board stated that when making up the budget for the year the board had made appropria- tions for the several charitable insti- tutions based on the revenues of the county. He stated that In his opin- ion the board of revenue was expend- ing as much for charity as the revenues of the county would permit. as fully one fourth of the income of the county went to charity and charitable institu- tions.
 The welfare board was selected from the different interests of the city and consists of James Bowron, who was ap- pointed by the city; J. L. Geohegan. ap- pointed by the county; Dr. H. s. Ward, from the medical society and R. F Cross from the churches. These gentle men will look into the general condi- tions of the various charitable insti- tutions and make a report of their find- |ings Appearing before the board in the effort to have the appropriation for the Mercy Home increased were Judge Murphy, Mrs. John B. Reid. Leo Steiner. Frank Rushton. S. p. Thorsp- son and others.

NORWOOD BUSSES ID
 60 INTO SERVICE ON SATURDAY MORNING
Special Tour Will Be Made by Those Invited Tomor- row AfternOOn-TO
 Serve Barbecue

Following an initial tour of the an- tomobi1e success of the Norwood Trans portation company, invitations to par ticipants In which were sent out yes terday, the regular schedule will be stated Saturday morning. The company announced yesterday by invitation that a tour would be made to the Chesnut hill properties of the company near the Country club and the tour will be con ducted to the company properties in Norwood. A trip will be made around the Norwood boulevard by the busses directed by an officer of tho company. In this way many will get an oppor- tunity of riding over the entire boule- vard something which has been prao- tically impossible for many during the past.
 The invitation sent out by I. c. Beatty, general manager of the com pany, Is as follows:
 The Birmingham Realty company Invites you to participate in the initial tour of the Norwood motor bus line. Cars will start from the Newspaper club building, Friday, July 24 at D. Tn. The itinerary includes a visit to Chestnut hill and spin around Nor wood boulevard. Kindly signify your acceptance on the enclosed card. Bar becue.
 After the tour those participating will be served with a barbecue on the properties in Norwood. 1t is expected that very representative crowd will attend the barbecue and tour arranged by Mir Beatty.
 The automobile bus service to Nor wood Is the outcome of the failure of the Birmingham Realty company and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company as well as the com missioners to effect a satisfactory agreement in reference to a street car line through the recently completed Norwood developments. After long ne- gotiations Mir. Beatty determined to in- augurate line of automobile busses. The people residing outside of the cleo tric car zone were c1amoring for trans pcrtation service and Mir. Beatty final Fly determined to give the transporta- tion although it Is believed the com pany will be taxed heavily for that ac- commodation.
 The busses will be operated from the business center of the city. They will make all practical stops and the fare will be cents. This is the latest de- velopment in the complex transporta- ton problem in this city. This is the third line of transportation to be ar ranged for the citizens of Birmingham being in addition to the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company ara the Tidewater.

 number of suggestions have been made and are before the committee al- ready for their consideration. They in clude the construction of a technical school here and then donating it to the state, the bringing here of a branch Of Auburn or the state university, an in- dependent college supported by Birming- ham alone and similar plans.

Jacksonville Hotel Man Finds Good Crop COndi-

R. E. Mayer of Jacksonville, owner of the Seminole hotel there. the Hermitage in Nashville and other hotels in the south. was here yesterday He was formerly resident of Birmingham. and is now inter- ested in local enterprises. MT. Mayer has just completed tour of the west and Canada, and came back home by way of New York and Washington. He said yes terday that business was getting better every day and that it was remarkable how well hotel business had held up dur ing the past two months, always consid- cred dull
 MT. Mayer said that crops conditions in the country through which he had travelled were better than they had been in years
 Tt is remarkable what fine crop pros poets this country has," said MT. Mayer. ''The situation has not been so good in {, years. l am of the opinion that this ] country is on the eve of one of the great est waves Of prosperity that it has known in years.
 Tn addition to the crop conditions the situation looks very fine in all directions. find very little neasiness on the part of men with money. They seem to think that the sessions of Congress might be abbreviated and that some relief would be felt on that score. However, the gem eral situation is good even though Con gress refuses to quit and give the coun- try a resi-

He said yesterday that in all his travels lately he had seen no hotel better equipped or operated more progressively than the Tutwiler.

COAL MEN KEEPING
 WATCHFUL EYE ON
 PLANS OF |. & N.
Motive Power Will Be In- creased, Says Report-Ef- feet of Proposed Water
 Transportation

That the Louisville and Nashville rail- road was preparing to bring into this district some of the largest locomotives ever shipped south for the purpose of greatly increasing the capacity of freight trains on the line was reported here yesterday It is understood that the heavy type locomotives will be of suf- ficient capacity almost to double the train tonnage of all freight operations and that a merry war will be started between here and New Orleans as 10 rates if any serious water transporta- tion should begin. It is stated that with the double tracks of the Louisville and Nashville it's present equipment and its efficiency that rates to New Orleans will undergo a radical reduction on the part of the Louisville and Nashville should water transportation make it nec- essary to meet competition.
 Coal men who watch eagerly develop ments believe that the management Is preparing to start after business with a vim when the double track is completed. It was stated yesterday by an operator that he frequently loads the same Louis vile and Nashville car twice per week for shipment to New Orleans.
 In connection with the plans of the Louisville and Nashville 1t is stated that there would be little surprise if there was an announcement during the next few weeks of the intention of that com pany to build its doubie tracks south of Montgomery. The rumor has been spread here that that was on the programme. It was asserted yesterday by persons in position to know that all the drawings have been made for the south end of the double lines. The Louisville and Nashville is completing it's work on the north end now and all of that will be in operation long before the holidays. Inasmuch as the Louisville and Nash vile has an ambition to exceed all other lines on Panama canal traffic it Is be- lieved that active work will be started on the south double track work soon.
 With the line completed all the way from Louisville to New Orleans. with giant mogul engines to haul two trains where one was hauled before and with water transportation in prospect, the Louisville and Nashville may be expected to materially encourage coal shipments to the ports when this work is done.
 This campaign of feduced rate will have the effect of very materially check ing the Pittsburg districts efforts in New Orleans as with slightly lower rate, which is believed to be inevitable the Louisville and Nashville can send Birmingham coal to New Orleans so as to place the local sellers in a far better position than the Pittspurg shippers.
