BETTER SERVICE
 TO RUGBY HEIGHTS
City Will Take Steps to Force B. R., l.. & P. Co. to Fulfill Fran
 chise Conditions

Following presentation of a signed peti- tion from the people of Rugby Heights near East Lake, asking for a better street car service on the Rugby line, the city commissioners yesterday authorized City Commissioner James Weatherly to take steps at once to compel the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to live up to the franchise granted them nine months ago.
 The complaint of the citizens is that although the franchise for the line calls for a 20-minute schedule and operation of cars until midnight the company is operating cars the larger part of ,he time only once an hour and not run ming any cars at all after g or 10 o'clock. Mr. Weatherly stated that Traffic Man ager DeWindt had conferred with him about it and had stated that the track was not in fit condition to maintain d 20-minute schedule. The delegation stated, however, that such schedule was main tained for an hour or so in the morning and an hour or two in the evening and therefore it could be maintained the re- mainder of the day.

 FOR WAR IN MEXICO
Telegram Sent Underwood. Offering Services-May Invite Veterans of 1898
 to Re-Enlist

While the lowering war clouds in the southwest are attracting universal at-
 tention, yet 1t is questionable whether the interest is more intense anywhere than among the Confederate veterans. Despite
 the fact that each year secs their ranks
 grow thinner, the eye less bright and
 the step less firm, the hearts of the battle
 scared warriors beat as high as ever
 when it comes to matters concerning the
 defense of the national honor.
 The gallantry of Little Joe' Wheeler
 during the unpleasantness was Spain and
 that many of the gray coated heroes of- fered their services to their united coun- try and to mix and mingle in a common
 cause with the men who wore the blue is well remembered.

 Following the passage of a resolution I the following telegram was sent to Wash 1 ington:
 Birmingham, Ala, April al, 1914. "To Oscar w. Underwood, Washington D. c.
 Please present to the President of the
 United States the services of Camp Will

 You can assure him we will be ready If called. CAPT. JOHN G. SMITH. Commander Camp Wilcox" And had anyone doubted for a moment that these men were not in earnest his
 doubts would have been speedily removed had he heard the discussion that led to the sending of the above telegram. Reports from Washington are to the
 effect that Spanish American war vet
