CARPENTERS DEATH
 WARRANT DRAWN
Unless Governor Interferes Slayer of Camp Will
 Hang Tomorrow

The death warrant for Willard carpen- F. Camp and sentenced to be hanged. was drawn up yesterday by w. B. Cope land, clerk of the criminal court and placed in the hands of Sheriff Batson yesterday afternoon The date of the execution Is set for Friday, August 6. and unless Governor Henderson inter- venes Carpenter will be hanged in the yard of the county Jail tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
 A strong effort Is being made by his attorney, Vasser Allen, to have the sem tence commuted to life Imprisonment on the grounds that the negro had great provocation to commit the deed that has brought him within the shadow of the gallows.
 The murder of Mir. Camp, who was president of the Camp Transfer company. occurred in October. 1913, on Saturday afternoon. The cause of the killing was en alleged dispute about the amount of wages due Carpenter, who was In the employ of the transfer company. Mir. Camp died from the effects of blow with a piece of scantling Carpenter made his escape, but was later captured and while admitting striking the fatal blow, plead self-defense and provocation. He was convicted however. and given the death penalty.
 Carpenter has had a brief respite all ready and while realizing his near ap- proach to death still has hopes that his sentence will be commuted to life im- prisonment.

PETTY OFFENDERS
 ARE RECOGNIZED

Following out the policy of Solicitor Hugo L. Black, Assistant Solicitor James Davis is keeping the county jail cleared of prisoners charged with pet ty offenses. Yesterday Judge Charles W. Ferguson of the city court at the instance of Mir. Davis recognized Al bert Crews. charged with Sunday gam ing, and Charley Brown, charged with assault and battery, until the Septem- Der term of the criminal court.
 Charles Lewis charged with bur giary and grand larceny. was sent to the Hillman hospital for an operation The negro was in a pitiable condition. Judge Davis stated that while the pris- oners were released on their own cog nizance 1t did not mean that they would escape the penalty of the law for their transgression, but that they would have to appear and stand trial in the criminal court for the offense charged. He stated that in the event the ne- gIoes did not appear capias warrant would be issued and the penalty for forfeiting the bond would be added to any punishment that the court might impose.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-08-05

With the sanitary ordinances of the city. These ordinances will be strictly enforced
 If the occupant or owner of prem
 ises does not choose to dispose of his own garbage he can agree with the city contractor to remove 1t for him 1t the prices fixed, which will be reason
 able. and he must then pay this price to the contractor. The city will not un- dertake to collect from the owner or
 occupant of the premises.
 No officer or employe of the city will be permitted to be directly or indirect ly in any garbage contract. The city will be free to rescind any contract when work Is not satisfactorily done. The essential difference between the new method and the present method will be that the owner or occupant of
 the premises will pay for the cost of collection and disposal of garbage in- stead of the city but even so. this cost
 will not be a tax upon the occupant
 CT property owner. but will be vol
 untary assumption by him of this ex- pense. The city simply puts it up to the property owner or occupant to keep his own premises clean.
 Tn view of the financial condition of the city and the necessity of cutting off one-third of its present expendi- tures the citizens are called upon to make this sacrifice and cooperate with
 the commissioners in keeping the city clean and thus relieving the city from this part of its burden for at least one year. at which time 1t Is hoped the city may be able to resume this work
 The contractors In making bids will state whether they desire to use the crematories and other equipment of the city. The city has about 100 mules and about half the number of wagons
 W hich 1t will sell or lease in whole or in part to any contractor to whom the work is awarded.
 The city will also contract for the letting out of the. dry closets under the same rules and regulations as apply to the garbage collections.
 For that purpose the city will be di- vided into districts as outlined above

WELT ARE WORK OF MRS. STRAIGHT IS ID BE CONTINUED Salary of Her Assistant to Be Paid-The Detention
 Home Will Not Be
 Abandoned

The city welfare department, at one time threatened by the ax which has decapitated official heads and their ac- tivities at the city hall so prolifioally lately, 1t now appears will come out of the wreck with colors flying.
 The salary of Mrs Wilson Searight head of thes department, will be cut off temporarily, but further than that the department will be unharmed and as Mrs Searight hrs volunteered to go ahead with her activities without pay until the city reouperates financially the department will go on in the fu- ture in the past.
 The salary of Mrs. Searight's as sistant will be continued and the De- tention Home for Girls. which Mrs Searight has organized and maintained by public donations will not be aban- ooned The city will continue to sup port the department morally and or fcially and Mrs. Searight will have all the authority she has had while on the pay roll, according to information at the city hall
 The executive committee of-the Y M. c. A. has written letter to tho city commission asking that in the name of common "decency and moral ity that the wonderful work Mrs. Sea right" has been doing be continued and from many similar sources pleas for the welfare department have been sent to tho commissioners. The com missioners stated yesterday that just as soon as the city's income will war rant the expenditure Mrs. Searight will be replaced on the pay roll and her department developed as fast as pos sible.
 There has been some apprehension felt recently concerning the juvenile court bill which Judge s. b. Murphy, w. NJ. McGrath, Dr. George Eaves and others are advocating before the state legislature, in that it raises the age limit of girls under tae Jurisdiction of the juvenile court from 16 to IS years and it was feared by friends of the city welfare department that the bill might interfere with the departments activ- ities 1t is now generally believed, however. that such will not be the case and If 1t should the Interference could be easily stopped.
