CITES OBJECTION
 TO AUDITORIUM

To the Editor of The Age-H Herald
 The suggestion in your issue of today by an enthusiastic auditorium advocate that the cost of n site for the proposed auditorium be saved the city by erecting the building in West park, appears Inn practicable. If not impossible, to those who know that the public parks consti- tute the fixed plan and map of the city as much as do the streets and avenues and that the city government has no legal right to transfer or dedicate any part of these pots for any other than park purposes. As well might the suggestion come that the intersection of Fifth we nue and Seventeenth street be used for such purpose.
 Do not account me an obstructionst when I ask if the municipality which is unable financially to remove garbage from the city, thus hazarding the health of the people; unable to provide adequate police protection. thus haZarding the peace. quiet and lives of the people unable to provide adequate fire protection thus hazarding the property of the people; unable to properly salary the teachers of the pub lie schools, thus hazarding the efficiency of our educational system-is in a position to entertain for one moment the idea of now erecting at it's own expense an audi torium or playhouse?
 I admit that the possession of an audi torium would prove an ornament to Bir- mngham and a joy to her people, but in point of necessity. I list such an ustitu- ton far down the line of teh things most needed for the comfort and happiness of our people. Necessities just now and d. ways outweigh luxuries with the people of any community. From whence Is to come the funds for paying interest audi torum bonds. to ask nothing as to .he principal at maturity?

SILVER STOLEN FROM
 HOME 0F RALPH TIES RECOVERED BY COPS
Clever Work of Detectives Crenshaw and Eubanks. Negro Under Arrest
 Through Their Work

Robert Powell, negro, was arrested in Mobile yesterday afternoon and locked up on the charge of burglary and grand larceny. The negro was arrested at the instance of Detectives Eubank and Cren- shaw of this city, who claim he entered the home of Ralph Fies, 2Sl4 Highland avenue, on July 13 this year and stole silverware to the value of $2O00
 The silverware was recovered in Mobile yesterday by the Mobile detectives when Powell was arrested. Detectives Eubanix and Crenshaw have been working on the case for several months, and in that time have trailed the negro all the way to New Orleans. Through information which they received several days ago, they were able to inform the Mobile police department as to the wherea bouts of the negro as well as the silver
 The burglary of the F'ies home was a daring one. The thief broke in the house through window in the rear The rear door was then unlocked by the bur glar, who stole all the silver in the house and carried it away in several sheets. The loot was traced to the western part of town, then to Acmar, to Mobile to Meridian, to New Orleans, and then pack to Mobile. Detectives Eubank and Cren- shaw were so hot on the trail that 1t was an impossibilty for the robber to dispose of his booty.
 Inspector Turner made the following statement regarding the case: 'T am highly gratifed over the success of De- tectives Eubank and Crenshaw in engi- neering such big catch. They deserve a great dea, of credit. Ever since the burglary of the Fies residence some weeks ago they have been working uncea singly to get the property back, as well as get the man who did the job. The property Is recovered and I believe they have the burglar beyond any question of doubt.
 Time and again they were haudi- capped and seemingly defeated, but never gave up. They have been rewarded with one of the best catches made in the de- tective depart in severa, months. Their work on this case demonstrated the fact that they are clever detectives ard know their business"
 Detective Crenshaw left Birmingham last night at o'clock for Mobile to get his prisoner and the silverware. The de- tectives had little to say in regard to the case. Eubank merely smiled and said he was glad 1t was over and they had gotten their man.
 Tn my opinion, Powell has figured in several robberies, said Crenshaw. When I bring him back, We expect to learn something more about other bur glaries that have baffled the department during the past year"

GARBAGE BIDS ID
 BE OPENED TODAY Eleven Received-Weather- ly May Urge Continuation
 of Present System

At 12 o'clock yesterday the time expired for the bids for the handling of the gar bage of the city and this morning the city con missioners will open the Il bids received at il o'clock The specifications gave the bidder the opportunity to bid on the city a whole or for sections or suburbs, the city reserving the right to reject any or all bids.
 Under the plan of retrenchment adopt ed several weeks ago the collection and disposal of garbage by the city was to be discontinued. On the motion of Com missioner Lane the city continued to collect the garbage during the heated months and set October l as the time for other arrangements to be made. Bids for the removal of garbage were asked by the city and the above number will opened by the commissioners this morning.
 1t is probable that Commissioner Weathe may advocate the continuation of the city collecting the garbage and make small charge for the same, un- der the provision of the municipal code the city has the right to collect a fee for the collection of garbage.

SPEAKER TRIAL UP BEFORE FORT TODAY Charged With EmbeZZle- ment From Wood Lum-
 Der Company

The trial of Harry L. Speaker. indicted for embezzlement from the w. D. Wood Lumber company, some years ago, will begin this morning after a series of post ponements
 The Speaker case was docketed for trial on Monday in the first division before Judge Harrington P. Heflin. As Judge Heflin was solicitor and helped draw the indictment against Speaker. the attorneys for the defense flied objections to trying the case before the former solicitor and this necesstated the entrance of Judge William E. Fort in the case. The absence of witnesses caused Judge Fort to post pone the case until yesterday when It was again called for trial Yesterday aft ernoon the case was called and the state announced ready, but the defense pleaded the absence of certain witnesses which caused more delay The case. ac- cording to Judge Fort, will go on trial promptly this morning. Attorney c. P. Beddow will aid in the prosecution with Assistant Solicitor Walter Brewer and Speaker will be defended by Aird and Sin mott
 Tn the second ulNlSlol, JuuSe Niiidiu c- Fort cleared his docket of 30 cases by 1 O'clock. All of the cases were non jury misdemeanors, of which there were several for violations of the prohibition law. The state kept up it's large percent age of convictions.
 In the morning session of the first di- vision, Judge Heflin also made great head way with the work.
 We are cleaning m the dOCketS. said Judge Fort, and allowing no cases to be continued If 1t can possibly be avoided. If the state is not ready and there is little hope that 1t will be ready. the cases are dismissed. Cases have very little chance of lingering on the docket for years at the present time as we are all doing our best to catch up"
