TWO SALOON sUReLARIEs.

The saloons Of Palermo Brothers
and Frank Kosh, both on Main street,
were entered last night by an un.
known burglar or burglars and
quantities of whiskey and other LIQUORS
stolen. The cash registers at both
places were rifled and s1.75 in small
change stolen from Mr.. Kosh's place.
but no money was obtained at Pa.
lermo Brothers. The thief effected
an entrance to both houses at the
rear of the buildings. A transom was
forced open at one place and a win.
dow at the other. Sheriff Mum and
the other officers were notified as
soon as the burglaries were discov.
cred, and although no arrests have
been made as yet, they hope to have
the burglars apprehended in a short
time.

ROGERS PROTESTS

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 The commissioners budget a1lots s10.oOO to city attorneys office and sS000 to libraries. If these sums were given to the garbage collection and dis posal department it would not be crip- pied.
 Judge Lane, being relieved of the police department, could give his time and talent to 8 department when he is at home and some person could be found to keep the library open for exchange of novels for $60 to s75 a month. One hundred and fifty thousand persons, all vitally interested in the removal of garbage from his premises by the city. Not 20O0 persons have any interest in the attorneys office, and l don't sup pase a taxpayer ever enters the library.
 that the commissioners won't allow the householders to be bothered with self appointed committees. for advertising g purposes, who propose to undertake garbage work. By the time the various subcommittee of the subcommittees re ported that they were ready for work it would be Christmas and then the town would be decimated or the gar bage frozen. GEORGE H. ROGERS.

YOUNGSTERS AT THE ZOO DIDN'T SEEM ID MIND THE WEATHER
With the Minimum Amount of Clothing and the Wad- ing Pool Handy They
 Had Fine Time

Yesterday was a scorcher in Birming- lam, but there were scores of young sters at the Avondale zoo who didn't care for they not only saw Miss Fancy. but they had a swim-some of them a swim which lasted all day.
 There is a fine sandy bottomed pool at Avondale big enough to hold several hun dred children. and just deep enough to make it interesting and at the same time not dangerous.
 There were all sorts of improvised bath had on overalls. Some mad on some pants and a piece of shirt, while the little girls splashed about in their skirts and had the biggest time ever. A thoughtful park-keeper had put half a dozen tubs in the pool. and it is was great sport for the youngsters to ride in these tubs and get tucked. Some of them stayed in so long their teeth chattered, but after a few minutes in the hot sunshine they were ready to plunge in again.
 The pool is fed from the spring, so that the water is always clean and fresh. and up close to the intake the water is pretty cold, too. But down at the other end it was just right Hundreds of grown people lined the pool and enjoyed the antics of the youngsters. and to tell the truth, they wished they could get Tn too.
 Fancy was out for swim, and was sur rounded during the afternon by her young admirers, who seem never to tire Of looking at their own elephant.

LOPEZ DELEGATE TO
 LABOR CONGRESS
Elected By Local Typographical Union to Represent Body at Con.
 vention in Chattanooga

At a meeting of Birmingham Typo graphical union No. 1o4 yesterday, w. s. Lopez, of The Age-Herald composing rooms, was elected to represent the union at the third annual convention of the Southern Labor congress, which will be held at Chattanooga September 15-17.
 As it's name implies, this congress is a representative body of southern trades organizations, having for its prime object the unification of labor legislation in the southern states. It is vitally concerned in the regulation of child labor. compul- sorry education. good roads enactments, and similar subjects. =
 Tt believes through uniform agitation in the southern states more can be accom- plished along these lines. with less con- flict of states interest. than by individual effort.
 The congress met last year in Birming- ham with the local Typographical union as host. MT. Lopez is one of the general officers of the organization.

S125 PER MONTH
 FOR D|SPENSARY
Appropriation Is Made By the Board of Reveue
 In Emergency

At the request of the board of gov ernors of the free dispensary the board of revenue Saturday voted an appropria- ton of $125 per month during the sum mer for the purchase of medicines for the free clinic. With the loss of the appro- rriation from the city the free dispen- sary is short on funds and pr. g. IT.. Ward at the instance of the dispensary board presented the matter before the board of revenue. He called attention to the fact that by making this appropria- ton the charity patients could be treated at home but that without it the county would have to take care of such patients at the Hillman hospital
 pr. Lovelady stated that the appropria- tion was temporary, but that at this time 1t would be a saving to the county to make it as it would increase the cost more to take care of charity patients at the Hillman hospital than 1t would by treating them and furnishing medicine at the homes. He stated that similar ap- populations had been made before during. the summer months for the free dispen- sary.

drawn our prisoners in Germany would be worse treated than ever, and probably n.li dered by being starved to death. ! fancy the war would have been over by now if we had made cotton contraband and the reason we did not do so was that we did not want to hurt the susceptibil- ities of America.
 'I see that some American manufacture CTS are now complaining of our hamper ing their trade to ostensible neutral coun- tries by our blockade and are bringing pressure to bear on the White House to take up this question with England. I sincerely hope that the United States will not harress us in the midst of tLe fight for human liberty we are engaged in which concerns the United States as much as England, by putting the loss of profits as of greater moment to you than the blood we are shedding for the cause of civilization and the loss of the very flower of our lang given in this cause.

HEAVY DOCKET IN
 RECORDERS COURT
Unusual Number of Arrests Saturday Night Regarded
 AS Sign of Prosperity

When Judge Davis takes his seat on the bench this morning he will find one of the heaviest dockets since his advent to the position of recorder. Almost 100 arrests were made Saturday night. None of the charges consist of felonies, most of the unfortunates being charged with gaming About 90 per cent of the arrests consisted of negroes.
 The unusual number of arrests is looked on by the police as a sign of returning prosperity Every negro who became in volved in the web of the law had been working all the week and most of them explained that inasmuch as they had some surplus cash for the first time in months 1t was necessary to have little game. :" About half of the number arrested suc- ceeded in making bond. This in itself is a sure sign that money is much looser than in the past, it being absolutely neces- sary for a negro to have some money be- fore he can procure a bondsman.
 Quite a few of the number were arrest ed on the charge of imbibing too freely, indicating that some few have found a means of getting their gin" Saturday morning a line of negroes half block long waited in front of the express ofN fee at the terminal station to receive a package"
 It is estimated that over 1000 packages of booze were delivered to purchasers in Birn ingbam Saturday morning. Several trains from wet territory have found it necessary to put on extra express coaches to accommodate the thirsty.
 The police report for the month of July will show an unusually low number of ar rests for the month. It is thought that the report for August will appear normal in comparison to the preceding months.

MOONSR|NE STILL IS RA|DED BY OFFICERS AND TWO ARRESTED
Sixty-five-GallOn Outfit Is Captured In Lonely Spot 20 Miles From
 Ensley

W. C. Clements and J. M. Frazier, al- leged moonshiners. were captured by Dep utes Hartsfield. McDuff and Harris of the sheriff's office and Officers Wiggins, Pope, Long and Sandefeur of the Ensley police yesterday morning at 4;15 clock. Clements and Frazier were placed in the county Jail on the charge of vio- lating the United States revenue law
 few gallons of corn whisky and about 50 gallons of beer was destroyed by the officers The still used in the manufac- ture of the liquor was brought into town by the officers and is now at the county jail. It is a regulation copper still and has a capacity of 65 gallons. The still was found or the Monroe Goodson place. which is located about 20 miles from Ensley, in a very lonely and deserted spot.
 According to the officers making the arrest the men did not attempt to re- sist.
 "They were surrounded and we had the rop on them before they knew It. said Deputy Hartstield. We have been watching these fellows for the last few months. The Ensley officers first got onto the fact that these men We're con- ing into Ensley and selling quantities of whisky to various individuals. Tht y were trailed from time to time and Saturday night we decided to capture the outfit. The country in which they operated is very mountainious and is . bad country to get into We got to tho spot where the liquor was being made about o'clock in the morning, anc after waiting until daybreak surround ed htem and put them under arrest The men were in the act of making the liquor at the time we called on them to surrender. Luckily we escape q the sentries which they must have had on the outskirts of the place where they worked. l suppose we would have been resisted if they had any idea that we were within dozen miles of the place.

PRESERVE HEALTH

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 pr. Cunningham is to be commended for the stand he took yesterday In his speech to the city commissioners re- garding the health of the people of this city and the removal of the garbage. The city commissioners evidently over look the fact that the health of city is it's best asset In the retrenchment policy recently enacted I do not notic :, that the commissioners cut themselves any. but put the health department on the measly pittance of $500 per month. s100 of which goes to pay actual eN- penses of the department and $6S0 to pay two office men and six inspectors for all of Greater Birmingham
 This leaves the insignificant sum of $120 for the city health officer, jus; Q little more than enough to pay for the upkeep of his automobile, furnished by himself. and no assistant. I say that the health officer is more important than that of the commissioners them- selves. and therefore their salaries should be reduced to s4o0O per annum. which would mean saving of 5000 per year. ms VIII so d iohs way .o7 ward maintaining an efficient health department and give the health officer decent salary, and help out the gar bage question.
 There are two ways to get the salary reduction of the commissioners: One is voluntary reduction by themselves; an- other is to appeal to the legislature to reduce their salaries, and if necessary to accomplish this purpose. abolish their office and create a new management at a breatly reduced salary. l have no doubt that such can be done If the people will make the necessary de- mand Yours truly, w. A. BURNS.

OHME MAKING PROGRESS IN

Outside of the beats in which Greater Birmingham and Bessemer are located there will be little change in this regard as many of the beats do not contain 300 voters, but in the Birmingham, Ensley and other large suburbs and Bes- semer about 40 additional voting places will be required. The bill was passed to relieve the congestion at the large boxes especially in the city, and also that the votes cast may be quick ly counted. Under the present arrange ment it sometimes takes several days to count the ballots cast in large city boxes, which not only works hardship on tn. clerk but increases the possibilities of in- accuracies in the count

HAS PLANNED POLLING PLACE FOR EVERY 300 VOTERS IN 37 AND IS WORKING ON 21

The work of dividing the beats of the county into voting precincts and providing polling place for every 300 voters is making satisfactory progress, and a number of the beats have been sub divided. Capt. c. H. Ohme, the we'll known engineer, is working out the prob lens, and has finished one of the large beats of the city, Beat S7, and is working on the other beat. namely 21. It will be recalled that by a recent enactment of the legislature a voting place has to be pro- vided by the board of revenue for every 300 voters in the county, and each of the large beats divided into precincts to meet this requirement..
