HEARING
 POSTPONED A WEEK
Little of Consequence in the County Courts Yesterday.
 Davis Goes Through Jail

Judge Harrington P. Heflin postponed for Archie Lee until next Saturday. Lee was convicted several weeks ago of aid ing in the wreclxing of a Seaboard Air Line train at Weems In which several lives were lost, and was given 10 years by jury.
 There was little of consequence done in the criminal courts yesterday. Nearly all of the members of the solicitors staff took advantage of the lack of judicial activity to take much needed holiday and were away from the courthouse early.
 Assistant Solicitor James Davis again visited the jail and his trip was produc- tive of nole pressing several charges against white man and the placing Of a negro in the asylum for the insane.
 Hardy Williams, who had just completed a sentence of eight months on the county roads after conviction of carrying con- cealed weapons. was in the county Jail on charges of abusive language. and af- fray. After 6 talk with Williams, As sistant Solicitor Davis recommended that the charges be nolle pressed, and Will Hams was released from the "carbuncle."
 Rudolph Wright, a negro, who had been in the county Jail for the past three months on a charge of breaking and entering the Henley school, was sent to the state asylum for the insane on the recommendation of MT Davis. Accord ing to Mir. Davis, the negro had been insane for years.
 Tomorrow both branches of the criminal court open for the trial of noncapital felonies Judge William ID. Fort will or ganize the juries and sound the docket

Whiteside Hears l.. 6 N.
 Arguments On Rate Case
Unable to Give G. S. and Southern Opportunity Be Heard and No Date Has Been Set for Continuation on
 Raw Material to Birmingham Y

Chancellor w. W. Whiteslde of Anniston heard the argument from the standpoint of the Louisville and Nashville railroad as to why the railroad should be per mitted to increase it's rate on raw ma terial Into the Birmingham district from 12l1 cents to 17ih cents yesterday. but was unable. on account of the elapse of time to hear the arguments from the standpoint of the Southern and Alabama Great Southern.
 For the continuation of the hearing. no date has been set, although A. c. Smith. representing the Alabama Great Southern. said last night that further work might be undertaken one day this week. The state which enjoined the rail- roads from putting into effect tho pro- posed increase is represented by Attorney General w. l.. Martin. while Judge s. D. Weakley of Birmingham. and Stuart Me- Kenzie of Montgomery. are representing the furnace companies.
 The contention of the railroads is that as the rate which now obtains was grant

 that the members of the union now feel that their efforts. expended for more than quarter of century. have in a meas ure been rewarded.
 Many prominent speakers will appear on the programme of the convention dur ing the three-day session in Birming- ham, Among the noted speakers from other points will be Mrs. A. D. Poole, vice president of the National Wom- ans Christian Temperance union. and president of the New York Woman's Christian Temperance union Mrs. Boole will speak at the convention on the sec ond evening
 Mrs. Lillian Kitchener. president of the kansas City Womans Christiani Tem- perance union is another prominent speaker who. will take part in the pro- gramme Mrs. Kitchener will speak at the concluding session of the conven- tion Thursday evening.
 All plans have been completed for the convention in Birmingham. Mrs. w. H. Jeffries and her various committees. who have been in charge of arrangements for the meeting, are delighted with the outlook for the convention. Mrs. F. M Jackson, chairman of the entertainment committee, announces that all of the vis-

ms IS que to the fact that general law, enacted by the legislature in recent session-and of which the city authorities until the publication of The Age-Herald yesterday knew noth- ing-provides that the proclamation of the governor giving notice of the pro- posed election must be printed on sub stantial cardboard and displayed in every voting precinct of the state at least SO days prior to the date of the election.
 The bill providing for the election names the date as the first Monday after the expiration of 90 days follow ing the final adjournment of the leg islature. The date will be December 27.
 The governor therefore, has only four days in which to issue his proc lamation, have it published, and dis play in every precinct of the state.
 Henderson Urged to Haste
 City officials during yesterday--and until late hour last night-were in earnest conference. As result, a telegram was sent Governor Henderson calling his attention to the statutes. and the necessity for immediate and nasty action.
 In still another respect, is time an exceedingly valuable commodity with the authorities at present. The law. ran1liTaS that ba of ha ment election must be advertised in every county of the state for eight con- secutive weeks. Before the date of the election, only nine weeks will elapse.

ID HANDLE GARBAGE FOR SEVEN MONTHS. Candidates for Commission May Be Asked for Express
 sion of Attitude

The city has money with which to handle garbage as at present for seven months.
 The policy of the city in this re- spect will be positively determined aft- CT the election in December when the commission will be a body of five.
 President Ward stated yesterday that until such policy is announced oondi- tions will remain as at present He in- timated. however. that 1t was possible that the commission in December would require the households to bear frao- ton of the expense so that means for disposition of garbage might b. at hand for the entire 12 months.
 It is regarded as probable thse the people of the city will demand of the, 12 candidates for the two seats on the, commission information as to their co tion respecting the disposal of garbaUAs

PENSION FUND
 CAUSES NEW DILEMMA

of constitutionality Inasmuch as the city of Birmingham Is required to put into the pension fund only the revenue derived in the recorders court from fines imposed for violation of fire or dinances, 1t is probable that no action against the statute will be undertaken in the eity's behalf
 Fire insurance companies are re- quired by the statute to pay to the firemen's fund one-half of 1 per cent of gross premiums derived from pol icies sold in this state. It is provided that unless the money is paid within 30 days following the approval of the act-and the act was approved Sep tember Accompanies so failing will be denied the right to sell policies un- til fine of 5000 has been paid.

details in every respect are not full filled While the burden will be upon the governor should any miscarriage city. according to the commissioners. can never expand unless the treasury is reinforced by additional revenue, and the treasury. 1t Is definitely established. cannot be so reinforced unless this tax amendment or another of similar import is indorsed and permitted by the people
 The amendment provides that the city of Birmingham-if the people of the state. December 27, and the people of Birmingham, October l, next year, vote favorable in special elections may increase its rate of taxation from s1 to s1.50 per $1o0 of value. It has been estimated that with the increased revenue to accrue from this proposed tax raise. Birmingham will have income sufficient to permit its operation on the scale of city of its size and impor- tance, and that without this increased revenue. present conditions. with every department of government impaired. must continue to obtain.
 City Must Pay Cost
 Despite its depleted treasury. Bir- mingham must take immediate steps to raise sum of money variously esti- mated at between $10,000 and $20,000 with which to defray the expenses of the amendment election. The statutes provides that Birmingham must bear the expenses although 1t Is not defi- nitely established that the city will be forced to pay the per diem wage of returning officers clerks and managers.
 All incidental items of expense must be borne by the city, however. and of course the cost of advertising the proclamation in every county for eight successive weeks will comprise sum the payment of which will be incum- bent on the municipal government.
 George B. Ward, James Weatherly, Capt. Romaine Boyd, city attorney, and E. D. Smith, legislative attorney, were in the conference last night.

COOPER DECLINES ID EXPRESS HIMSELF ON THE RATE SITUATION
Danger That Agitation Be gun During Conner Ad- ministratiOn Will Be
 Renewed

Regarding the tense railroad rate situa- ton obtaining in Alabama at the pres- ent time, B. H. Cooper, associate mem the state. declined to express himself yesterday.
 There Is every reason to believe, how ever, that at the next meeting of the commission. scheduled for the first week in November. action will be taken which will result in the people of the state ob- taining positive and concrete informa- ton. For as has beea published in Tie Age-Herald there is danger of a revival of the rate agitation which had its beginning during the administration as governor of B. B. Conner and It's con clusion few weeks prior to the non,f- nation of Charles Henderson for the office Of governor.
 In nutshell the situation Is this:
 The utility commission, according to
 the minutes of it's August session, has
 cited the Louisville and Nashville
 railroad to appear on a blank date and give cause why it's freight rates should
 not be reduced.
 The railroads operating in Alabama
 have formally filed petition with the
 commission that the 10 per cent fn-
 crease of the 110 commodity rates, now
 temporarily in effect, but which ex-
 pires November 30. he made perma-
 nent.
 1t Is believed that the commission in It's session in November will deny. bv a vote Of to ], the petition of the rail roads. and will name date for the ap- pearance of the Louisville and Nash Vile to give cause why its rates should not be reduced
 But, as stated. Mr. Cooper declined to discuss any phase of the situation
