The firemen today sent out state
ment asking the voters to come to
their help and vote Eyes" on the two
platoon system. Part of it is as fol-
lows:
From the Humanitarian point of
view, the system of continuous duty
must be absolutely condemned as out
of keeping with modern civilization.
There can be no reasonable defense
of a system that divorces the hus-
band and father from the wife and
children for days at time; that
compels a man to abuse his stomach
245 days year; that deprives him of |
the privilege of divine worship and of |
the opportunity of social intercourse |
with his fellow men. It makes phys |
ical wrecks of the picked men of the |
community. 1t has broken up hun
dreds of homes and has been the |
cause of more f1remen's children go
ing astray than any other class of |
people in the various other occupa-
lions of life, a statement which can
be positively proven. Under the two
platoon system fremen would aver
age II hours duty day, $50 days a
year. During those II hours they
would not be absent from duty for
any cause except sickness. There
would be no absence for meal leaves,
thus saving about half a million dol
lars to the city and greatly promoting
the efficiency of the department.
1.-THE day shift would do 10 hours
duty and the night shift IA hours.
Once a week they would swing and
the night shift would do the 10-hour
turn and the day shift would do the
14-hour turn, thus allowing a 2O-hour
off once every six days. The firemen
would sleep at home, eat his break |
fast and supper at home, and carry '
his lunch with him to the fire house.
He would be doing as all workingmen
do. He would still have long hours,

RODRIGUEZ SHOWS POWER OF
MARSHALL FIELD ESTATE

Connections of the Marshall Field
estate with the city government of
Chicago was discussed by William E.
Rodriguez, candidate for alderman
18th ward, at Old Style Inn last night.
''The Chicago & Western Indiana
railroad has stolen 214 acres of land
inside the city limits" he said. "The
city map department has made a re-
port which shows that is the amount
of land encroached on and Illegally
occupied by the railroad.
According to reliable exhibit en-
tered as testimony by the railway
brotherhoods in the arbitration hear
ing, the chief owner of the G.. & WI.
is the Merchants Loan & Trust Co.,
which holds II 900 out of the $4,000
shares of stock.
'The Marshall Ffel destate owns

Field estate is getting profits that
come. in part through land stolen
from the people of Chicago"

it. undoubtedly would have little effect for if the recent interstate commerce com mission decision applied only to Great Lakes shipping, local men believe that a similar decision will soon be made ap- plying to the divorcement of coastwise shipping from railroad ownership. The local rate bureau of the Merchants and Manufacturers association now has this matter up with the Washington authori- ties and the city of Baltimore, it is re- ported, is looking into ,the same crcum- stances.
 The Accent rate from San Francisco to New York via Galveston by rail, by the way, is generally admitted to have been forced by the fact that railroad owned ships cannot use the Panama canal and therefore the private owned ship lines gave such competition to the transconti- rental rail lines that the Accent rate nearly half of the present water rate from New York to MobileD has been put into effect
 The question from the Birmingham point of view involves many phases. For instance the necessity of docks and ter mina site at some place on the Warrior is apparent. Many citizens urge the im- mediate purchase by the city or by the county of river frontage at some point to be decided upon as the best place for the terminus Even though this land is not to be utilized at once, it is argued it should be purchas sed and held before it goes up in price,.

ERECT MONUMENT
 ID PROF. DODSON
Former Students of Oxford College to Assemble at
 Anniston June 24

Former students of oxford college Will honor the memory of Prof John l. podson by unveiling a monument tc him on June 24. A number of Blr- mlngham citizens who were taught il years gone by by this revered teacher Will be present. The following outlines the committee's plans:
 "Anniston, Ala, April 30. 1915. ''Io eo,il the Former students of oxford The replies to the circ4lar letters sent out in August, last. indicate that the latter part of June will best serve the convenience of those who expect to attend the unveiling of the monument to the memory of Prof John L. Dodson The committee, therefore, has selecte Thursday, June 24, 1915.
 It Is the purpose to devote the day 10 paying tribute to the memory of our honored and beloved teacher, and me renewing of Friendships of col iege days. A programme will be ar langeu. beginning at 10 d. m, at the Calhoun County High school, formerly the oxford college, Oxford, Ala. Stu dents from distance will be enter .alned by the resident students of OK lord and Anniston. A picnic dinner will be served on the grounds, and in the afternoon the monument will be unveiled and the exercises concluded at the Oxford cemetery
 Tt is sincerely hoped that all who may be able will be present on the oc- casion. It will probably be the last as- semb1age of the students of Oxford col lege as a body. It will be the only opportunity to express collectively our love and veneration for Professor bod son since his death.
 While it is expected to have only one or two principal addresses. every one who feels inclined will have an op- portunity of paying brief tribute to this noble man, to whom we are all so deeply indebted.
 Remember the day, June 24, 1915. No other notice will be given by mail. If you desire to communicate with the committee in regard to any of the de- tails, address Miss Josie Wilson, secre- tary, Anniston, Ala Yours very truly.

PERMANENT HOME . 0F G0LDSTE|N BROS.
Extensive Alterations to Be Made at 1915-17 Third
 Avenue

D. B. Goldstein of Godstein Broth CTS has announced that the firms per manent home will be at 1915-1917 Third avenue, and that during August ex- tensive alterations and changes will be made in the building so that 1t will become one of the handsomest mercan- tile houses in the city.A
 Changes will be made in the front as well as the interior" said MT. Gold stein. Passenger elevator will be in- stalled so that we can use the entire upper floor for retail business We have leased this store, which used tc be occupied by Kress & Co.,. for eight yearsa We believe in Third avenue and we are going out after our full share of business in Birmingham.
 When the Steele-Smith fire on Sec end avenue spread to our store and practically put us out of business thei we finally decided to lease larger guar . ters on Third avenue. We still have three years left on the lease of our Second avenue building and as soon as repairs are completed we will sub lease it. We. have preferred to come over on Third avenue where we will have more room to handle our con stantly growing business"

RAILROAD OWNED STEAMSHIP LINES
 MAY GIVE TROUBLE
tcontinued from Page Five)

the Pacific coast to Galveston and from Galveston by water to New York is now in opsration shows that the 75-cent rate in effect by the railroad owned ships from New York to Mobile will never hold as soon the railroads are made to abandon control of the ship lines. There fore, the total rate from New York to Birmingham, it is generally figured, count ing 10 cents per hundred up the river and 10 cents from the river terminus to the city will be 50 to 60 cents.
 And at present the cost per JOG pounds by rail from New York to Bir- mingham Is a total of s1.16!
 There lies the enormous opportunity for Birmingham totaing in a year many hundreds of thousands of dollars to the city's business men in freight charges both on outgoing and incoming shipments.
 Do Not Expect Refusal
 It is generally believed at present that the railroad owned ships from New York to Mobile will not refuse to deliver goods at the Mobile port to the Warrior river barge lines, although such a position has been taken in similar cases in the past Railroad men decline to discuss the sub ject However, If such should result,

when a point on the river for the ter mine docks is suggested. Property owners in different parts of the section through which the road could pass are each pull ing for his own interests: this man wants to sell land: another man wants the road to pass his property and so on, so that a final decision in reaching the proper place for the terminals and docks is go ing to meet with many obstacles
 A suggestion has been made that the city should purchase a park site some where near the terminal and dock site and make there a large park where the pubic could avail itself of all the amusements and advantages of river life by making the trip from the city proper to the river.
 In time suburb of Birmingham un- doubted1y will develop at and about these terminal river docks-a small city by it. self springing up and in all proba bility being taken into the city proper as of course it will be very vital part of the municipality.

THOSE WHO
 HELPED IN PARADE

hiIs w. IN. w Oou, plcSlucit oi tHc Birmingham Humane society, has issued a statement expressing the appreciation of the society of all those who con tributed to the success of the work horse parade last Wednesday. Mrs. Woods statement was as follows:
 "The Birmingham Humane soceity. it's president, Mrs. W. N. Wood, and the humane officer, J. l.. Clements, wish to express their thanks to the business firms who participated in the work horse and mule parade of May 19, and also to the many others who con- tributed toward its success"
 ~~~~~~-~-~-~~~~~~~~ ly every register in chancery from Ten ,nessee to the gulf is opposed to the pro- posed change. Perhaps a majority of the chancelors themselves are opposed to fh" chance. Nearly every lawyer who is a special friend to the registers and chan cellors is opposed to the change. But the masses of the common people of this In their interest and in the name of hu- manity and justice the proposed change should be made
 Let the members of the legislature re- member that in government like ours the people are the sovereigns; that all political power is and of right vested in them; that they have the sovereign right to change or abrogate any instrument tal't' of government that makes for in Justice and oppression; that they not only have the right to change any form of government injurious and oppressive, but that it is their duty to do so.
 I trust that the present legislature will not suffer the beneficiaries of a sys- tenn that should be changed to dictate or direct the course that they shall pur- sue, but that in view of the interest of the whole people of the state of Ala bama, they will so act that the humblest citizen of all this commonwealth can feel that the courts of his state are indeed and In truth the refuge of the poor and the oppressed.
 Personally I have the profoundest of respect for the able chancellors of Ala bama. >t as a citizen I have never per mitted my >ersonal likes or dislikes to influence my conduct respecting that which l felt to be the true interest of my country. I know that the present system. of chancery procedure is wrong. 1 know that, in practice 1t subverts the very principles which 1t was ordained and established to conserve. I know that the only way to retain the confidence oi the people in the courts is to do sure and speedy justice therein.
 Knowing all of said facts. and being conversant with the conditions as they are. I am unalterably opposed to the present condition and am highly h ia vor of a change that will rebound to the future welfare and glory of the treat state of Alabama.
 am yours for real judicial reform,
