JAMES WEATHERLY'S
 EFFORT ID KILL THE J|TNEY LAW FAILURE
Ordinance as Printed in Tuesdays Age-Herald Is Adopted by Majority
 Vote of Commission

Tn spite of the efforts of "Jitney Jim weatherly to kill the ordinance by amend ment. one of which would have permitted 'jtney passengers to ride on the running boards, the ordinance for regulation of the jitney cars of Birmingham yesterday was adopted by the city commission by a majority vote. Judge Lane and Presi- dent Ward voted for the ordinance. Com missioner Weatherly against it.
 The ordinance was identical with the draft printed in Tuesday mornings Age Herald, it's main feature being regulation of the downtown terminals of the jitneys, and provisions that persons may not ride on the running boards of the cars, and that an inspector shall examine all cars and see that they are safe and properly operated
 MT Weathery made an eloquent plea for what he called the poor little jitney which runs for cents" He declared that the ordinance was discriminative, in that it proposed to put restrictions on the jit- ney which were not put the taxicab and the street car.
 It was explained to him that this had been done in order to make the ordinance valid and that additional ordinances plac- ing similar restrictions on taxicabs and all motor vehicles and street cars operated for. hire would be drafted and considered.
 At the close of MT Weatherly oration, President Ward called for the roll call. When it came to Mir Weatherly's vote he said: This is the vote on my amendment, l suppose?"
 ''No, sir said MT. Ward. this is the vote on the ordinance"
 Well. made motion here,' he com plained. "Ryall where is it?"
 Secretary Ryall rummaged among his papers but found no Wea therly motion. 'I'll make it over" declared Mir Weath- erly, which he did and which his two colleagues promptly voted down.
 Then he made second motion to amend the ordinance by striking out the section prohibiting passengers riding on the run ming board of the jtney. It too was voted down. and then the ordinance was adopted.

Suggests An Inspection

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 After reading with much interest the story in The Age-Herald of the North Birmingham little boy being sent back to the reformatory, l am moved to suggest the inspection of all prisons. especially all places where children are held against their will
 The miscarriage of justice is a common thing and often as it seems in this case, reverses itself and commits a greater crime than the victim was guilty of in the first place. As long as the rights and liberties of the children are abused. Just that long will the race murder and en- slave. M D. ALEXANDER.

 "The establishment of the federal re- serve system itself is in question, for it is not believed by many that the breaking up of great central reserve bank into 12 fra gments. with 12 governors and F boards of directors. and the consequent cost of the administration thereof, and the use of the policy of coercion toward national banks whereby they must either surrender their charters or subscribe to the capital stock ofs these various insti- tutions, limiting the return upon the cap ital and demanding reserves of national banks to he carried with them upon which no interest whatever is allowed, has not yet demonstrated it's wisdom to many In this connection 1t must be said, how ever. that these institutions have been but recently organized, and that they have not as vet had ome to demonstrate their usefulness nor what they can event ually accomplish.
