SERIOUS DEFICIT FACING COUNTY F
 BILLS ARE ENACTED
Must Redeem Large Amount of Back Script Other Bills Would Deprive the
 County of Big Sum

That the county is facing a serious de- fcit if certain bills now pending before the legislature are enacted was the state ment made yesterday by members of the board of revenue. The statement was made that bill has been passed by the house directing the board to redeem 600 of back script at S5 cents on the dollar, and that the bill to refund to the city of Birmingham the sum of $200,000 Is being strongly advocated. Bills requiring the county to pay witnesses in cash for their attendance on the criminal court and to increase the pay of all jurors from g to 8 will be passed and several other measures that affect the financial condi- tion of the county.
 The bill to redeem the county script provided that the county shall pay 5,0o( a year until outstanding script has been redeemed. It is estimated by members of the board of revenue that if all these measures go into effect the county will have less than s100,000 to run the county. It is stated that 1t also means the return of the county convicts to the mines and retrenchment in the several departments of the county almost as drastic as those proposed by the city
 It is said that the large majority of the script is in the hands of the script buyers who bought it at a very low figure, and that the other portion is held principally by officers of the law who are in con- stant attendance on the courts. The i'm pression seems to prevail that under thes' conditions the chances Of the city getting a rebate from the county is mighty slim at this time, for If the legislature passed the bill proposed there will be no available funds in the county treasury to pay it.

No Hunting in France Now

Paris, July .-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-The recurrence of the date for the open hunting sea- son in France, when, in past years, the trains are filled with men accompanied by dogs and armed with guns. game bags, and all the paraphernalia of the chase, has given rise&o popular pro test against anyone indulging in this sport, notwithstanding that there has been no evidence that the Frenchmen at this time had any thought of hunt ing. Etienne Clementel, chairman Of tho committee on agriculture in the Chamber of Deputies has formally pro tested to the minister of agriculture against there being any open season this year, or any other year until the war Is ended "It would be unfair" he said, "to those devotees of the chase who are at the front, and 1t would scarcely be understood by our soldiers, who have right to expect that all our available resources in powder shall be reserved exclusively for war Tn re- gions where crops may suffer through tre. increase of wild animals. the To- cal authorities may take whatever steps seem necessary. but so long as the war shall last there should be but one open season-that for hunting the Invaders"

DANIELS SCORED
BY GARDENER
In Letter to Taft Congressman
Points Out Weak Points in
U. S. Navy.

Washington, d. c., April 30--A let
ter addressed to former President
Taft was made public here today by
Representative Gardner of Massachu-
setts. 1t was written by Gardner in
reply, to Secretary Daniels recent
communication to President Garfield
of Williams College, dealing with the
preparedness of the navy, in answer
to telegram from Taft, requesting
Gardner to comment on views Of
Daniels.
Gardner declares Daniels, in COM
munication to Garfield, did not under
take to meet 'Gardners assertions, al
leging that the United States is at
present unprepared for military
emergencies. In the letter Gardner
asserts tie secretary's etter made
misleading comparisons regarding the
navy strength and that instead Of
comparing its size and strength with
foreign navies Daniels dwells on its
growth under the recent administra-
tions
".rhe question Of our readiness for
war with an efficient enemy is worth
considerating at some length" says
Gardner.
"The secretary's mere assertion
that our ships were in a position to
make brave showing against the
Mexican navy will not stand for a mo-
ment against the positive views as to
our readiness for war as expressed by
Commander Yarnell and Admiral
Fiske, chief Of operations feet
