SHACKLES TAKEN 0FF CITY PRISONERS
Commissioner Weatherly So Far Is Satisfied With the
 New Plan

The shackles have been taken of al city prisoners and City Commissions James Weatherly states he so far i, satisfied with the res2lts.
 There have been some few escapes but only one or two over the average run of escapes from the city chain gangs.
 This plan so far Is still an expert ment and if the number of escapes 1T using the convicts to clean the streets operate the garbage wagons and so or becomes large enough to overbalance tn. good points of the new plan the old system of working the convicts in shackles will be returned to, 1t is said
 Much criticism of the "chaingangs ol Birmingham in the past has come from various sources, based on humanitarian grounds. But unless the plan of work ing the convicts without the chains proves practical the commission does not intend to keep it up.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR
 MRS. M'COY THIS MORNING

Bishop Mccoy is one of the best known figures in the Southern Meth odist church and numbers his friends by the thousands. Throughout yester- day the stream of messages continued Bishop Mccoy last night, although dazed by the tragedy, stated that he desired through The Age-Herald to express his appreciation of the many acts of kind ness on the part of his friends.
 The closing moments of Mrs McCoy's existence were in keeping with her en- tire life. It was peculiarly fitting that Ter last act should be one of service Mrs. Mccoy was awakened about 1923 o'clock by Richard, one of her little sons with a request for a drink of water. She went to the bathroom to obtain it for him but did not return. The child heard her sasping and screamed for his father. Bishop Mccoy, who was asleep in an adjoining room, rushed to his wife's side and found her lying on the floor. Seizing her, he started for bedroom but she gasped twice and expired in his arms without speaking.
 Mrs. Mccoy apparently had never been In better health than on the evening of her death. She had attended a funeral on South Highlands during the afternoon and on her return was cheerful with no hint of the approaching end.
 Mrs. Mccoy before her marriage was Miss Annie Bradley a sister of Les c. Bradley and John G. Bradley. She was years old when her parents died and was reared by her grandparents in Flor ida. She was graduate of Athens col lege with honors in the musical depart ment After her graduation she came to Birmingham and resided for several years with her brother, John G.

the action of the board of trustees of
 Howard college in conferring the honorary degree of doctor of laws upon Principal c. A. Brown.
 Without even a hint as to what was
 forthcoming, Dr. James M. Shelburne, president of Howard college. called Pro- lessor Brown over the telephone Wednes- day and notified him that he must hasten out to the college and gave the principal 20 minutes in which to do the hastening. Professor Brown, being pressed with the duties of the principals office at this par ticuar season, argued that he would be forced to forego the pleasure of the ur- gently proposed visit. The speaker at the other end of the wire now put it in the form of command. and the principal yielded. But not until he was there and had been spirited to the platform and had sat through Dr. Sheburne's confer atory address-the. name of the conferee having been purposely withheld to the end did he. Professor Brown, know what it was all about. It was a unique occa sion indeed.
 President Sheburne said that no one who knows anything of the education- al life and history of Birmingham and of Alabama can fail to recognize the consummate force and constructive ability of the loved and honored prir- ciral of the biggest and best high school in the south, C. A. Brown; that the time had come for some substal- tal notice and recognition to be ac- corded Professor Browns distinctive hnc distinguished service in the fields of social uplift and education.
 Dr. C. A. Brown graduated from Au- burn with the bachelors degree In 1892.

ANOTHER PROBE IS IN PROSPECT BY
 CITY COMMISSION
Trouble in "Kiyi' Depart ment This Time-Car- ter Prefers Charges
 Against Kelly

The "kiyi department of the city gov. ernment is in trouble and another probe is threatened
 At 12 o'clock today the commissioners will examine witnesses in regard to the transfer of one rat terrier dog from the hands of it's owner via the "kiyi depart ment'' to parts unknown. It is nov al- legged that in the transfer certain officials of the kiyi department Improperly and illegitimately were enriched to the amount of about S2''
 Conflicting evidence in the case Is cir culated. The probe bids fair to De os equally as much public interest, however. as other of the famous city hall probes of the past few months.
 Complainant in the klyi department probe is young man named F. A. Car ter MT. Carter appeared at the city hall yesterday and raised about seven different kinds of sand until he was pacificd with the assurance that the kiyi department would be probed. In telling his side cf the case to a reporter. MT. Carter said:
 Last Christmas I purchased plooded rat terrier dog and gave him to one of my lady friends as Christmas present. Last night, it appears. Mr. kelly of the kiyi department appeared at the homs of the lady. Only her parents were there He told them that this dog had no license tag and that he would have to put them under bond.
 They were frightened and did not un- derstand what kind of trouble they were in. MT Kelly finally told them that the least they could get out of the matter now for them would be fine of slo but if they wanted to turn the dog over 10 him he would agree to pay this $O fine and cause them no further bother.
 He instructed the old gentleman to take the dog to a certain business house here, which he did, l have now learned that on the books of that firm the ac- count of MT. Kelly has been credited with &. The dog is gone, 1t appearing that he broke loose. I not only want the dog back but I want to know what kind of business Is going on In this so-caled kiyi department"
 MT. Kelly denies that he or any one connected with his department IS guilty of any wrong doing in the case, and states 1t can be so proven at the official probe today at 12 o'clock. Indications aie a large crowd of spectators will be on oand
 MT. Kelly has been superintendent of the dog license department of the city for two years under an arrangement by which he secures a percentage of the licensees paid. He has worked a system winch he has claimed would eliminate stray dogs from the city, but the number os stray and untagged dogs at large recently forced the commission to put into operation two dog catching wagons over his strenuous protest.
