LANE CONTRAD|CTS
 W|GG|NS' CHARGES
Says Majority of Fraternal Orders Are Not ViOlat-

Lodge and fraternal society men of the city, it is said, are indignant regarding recent alleged statement of Chief of Detectives Steve Nigeins to the effect that practically every fraternal organ ization in the city was violating the law in regard to selling liquors and gam bling.
 A delega ton of lodge men called upon City Commissioner A. Q. Lane yester- day and made an appointment with him for a discussion of the matter. At a recent meeting of Old Hickory camp Woodmen of the World. strong resolu- tions were adopted protesting against Wiggns' published statement, and 1t is said other lodges of different orders will take the same step.
 Judge Lane himself said yesterday that the reported statement Of Wiggins was wrong. If Wigglns sard that" said tn, judge, "he made misstatement. I an member of some of the fraternal or ganizations Of the city myself and whil, am not a very active member. | know that they are not violating the law

LANE WOULD GRANT
 FRANCHISE ASKED
 BY THE T|DEWATER
Competition Will Do Much to Improve Service, He Says-DevelOpments
 Expected Soon

Many people do not understand it seems just what direct advantage is to be obtained from a competitive street ear service" said City Commissioner A D. Lane yesterday in discussing the prospee- tive grant of street car franchise to the Birmingham. Ensley and Bessemer Railway company.
 T am in favor of granting tho Tide water franchise because I believe they will build a railroad and that will give Us competition. Now some people ask. will competition lower street car fares. and if not. what is the advantage to be gained?
 Competition will not lower street car fares. l do not believe that street eas companies can operate for less than ,s 5-oent fare, for it has been tried i'll other cities and has failed. But the com petition will improve service. In other words. a man who pays his nickel tos d street car company will get more for it. Service can be improved in many ways, but one way I will illustrate.
 Tn New York city they say 1t used to take an hour to go from Manhattan tn Eighty-second street; now it takes , minutes. The same company that used tosrun that distance in an hour now does it in less than half that time and all because it has to compete with the sub way lines. Those s5 minutes often mean much to q business man and he gets the use of them merely through competition l between two lines.
 "Competition in Birmingham will do the same thing in many different ways and the sooner we can get 1t the better for the town"
 Although no decision has been reached. 1t is said, and probably none will be for sometime yet, 1t has been g generally accepted fact about tho city hall lately that the Tidewater is to be given the street railway franchise 1t is asking for. This proposition will probably draw the principal attention of the city eommis soners in the next week or so and some interesting developments may be expect ed il is said, almost any day.

VACCINATION CAMPAIGN
 BY HEALTH DEPARTMENT

vaccinated and this list is submitted to the health department officials. every pupil whose name appears on it being vaccnated when the school is visited. 1t was stated yesterday that in some of the schools large numbers have been treated with the vaccine serum.
 While the smallpox situation Is not con- sidered serious, it Is admittedly bad. Any where from two to four or five cases are being reported daily. mostly among the negroes, but many are among white peo- pie. Officials of the health department state they do not consider it best for them to discuss the situation except to say that it is not serious
 The city commissioners have considered issuing proclamation for compulsory vaccination of every citizen, but have delayed doing so in the belief that condi- tions did not warrant such a step, which always brings trouble in that 1t is hard to enforce. The campaign in the public schools. it is believed, will take care of a source of possible contagion greatly feared in epidemics.

LANE |S OPPOSED ID PROPOSED WAR ON ENGLISH SPARROWS
Thinks Money Can Be Used to Greater Advantage Than in Paying Counties
 on Dead Birds

"I am strongly opposed to this proposed sparrow killing campaign if anything like a gun, air rifle, sling shot or other in strument which might be harmful to citi- zenis is to be used" said City Commission CT A. o. Lane yesterday. If l can help it, no such instrument will be used, either, by any boy in this town, for I've given orders to the police department to prohibit it.
 "I am opposed to paying a reward for the sparrows killed, too. This city hash got any money to be paying out for spar row heads, even if they are a nuisance, and I can't see that they are doing any body so very much harm. There's a whole lot of things we need in this town worse than a war on sparrows. cent head, as is proposed, l believe by the other commissioners, I know is not much, but in the long run it might amount to a good deal but whether it is much or little this city hasn't got the money to pay it anyhow.

 prevent any other bird from going into the trap, and we don't want to kill off other birds In paying a reward, how could We guard against birds killed outside of the city We couldn't tell the difference.
 "rhe whole thing is too trifling. There are so many big things which demand our attention, things which mean much to future generations, things involving invaluable rights and privileges, millions of dollars in OF out of the pockets of the people, that l think it's foolish to go to killing sparrows and paying for it. The system of bookkeeping which would have to be naugurated for the new department would be as intricate as for banking in- stituton."
 Statements that a war was to be made on sparrows and a reward would prob ably be offered for them of cent apiece were given out at the office of the other two commissioners d day or two ago. the campaign. it was stated. to be along the lines of the city beautiful movement
