 CONDITIONS BAD
Is Statement From COmmis- siOn-COnference Yester-
 day With Mrs. Searight

Reports are in circulation and emphat- ically denied by the city commissioners that serious charges have been made against the police force in regard to the present alleged prevalence of disorderly houses in many parts of the city.
 Mrs. Wilson Seawright, head of the city welfare department, conferred with the commissioners yesterday afternoon. The commissioners stated Mrs Searight had asked for new women's jail." and Mrs. Searight refused to give out any in- formation unless it came through the com missioners
 It is reported, however. that a list which incidentally is extremely lengthy has been prepared. showing the name and location of disorderly houses in different parts of the town. The commissioners stated that there had been no criticism of the police department found but ad- mitted that the "disorderly house condi- tions were bad, probably through the fault of the police department
 They stated no plans had been made or were contemplated to remedy the sit uation, but 1t is understood that steps along this line will be taken in the neal future.

Cooper Says Railroad C0m- mission Will Not Act for
 Thirty Days

B. II. Cooper of the state railroad com mission, who. with Commissioner Gail lard was in Bessemer yesterday. an noi.nced that the petition of tho Louis ville and Nashville railroad to increase passenger rates on branch lines in Ala bama from 21a to cents g mile had been postponed for 90 days.
 sThe question is important" said Mir Cooper. because there is more actual mileage on branch lines of the Louisville and Nashville in Alabama than on the main line through Birmingham. Mont- gomery and Mobile. Tho petition to in- crease passenger rates on these branch lines had been set for hearing April 6. but has now been postponed for 90 days or until the first Monday in May.
 "A number of commercial organiza- tions in the towns interested had planned to have representatives at the hearing April 6, and we are sending out prompt notice of the postponement so that none of them will be inconvenienced.

SHOULD REGULATE. THE JTNEYS-SPA|N
Coroner Petitions Commits sion to Act on Matter and
 Prevent Accidents

Coroner c. l.. Spain yesterday sub mitted a letter to the city commis- sioners of Birmingham, in which he set forth his objections to the manner in which "jitney' cars are being ops erated at the present time. Hc rec ommends that these. cars be regulated under a franchise. and that operators be required to furnish such bond as will guarantee the rules of this fran ohise may not be violated without fi- Eancial loss.
 The text of the letter is as follows
 Ut Is becoming a regular occurrence the cause of vehicular and pedestrian accidents.
 These cars are now operating with cut any regulation with the exception of the ordinance put through last week requiring them not to turn around on Twentieth street between the railroad tracks and Fourth avenue or go around the block This, while helpful, does not cover their operations in other parts of the city. They are run by young men of little and in many eases no judgment men not 21 years of age and in some instances by frail women ,cheir chief regard is to get as many prospective nickels into their car as is possible with complete disregard foi the public safety and as my office re- quires me to investigate every violent CT sudden death. cannot but feel thai the interests of the people at large require these carelessly operated ve- hicles to be regulatd in their opera tions in this city.
 Therefore, I wish to call on and hereby petition the city commissioners to require the operators of iitnoy busses to be regulated under fran ohise so that they could be governed to protect the lives and property of all and that they could be required to fur nish a bond of sufficient magnitude to secure their compliance with theiI franchise regulations and securing the public In it's lawful right to conpensa- tion for their wrongful injuries to per sons and property. c. l..

Newspaper Men Denied Ad- mission and Great Secrecy
 Is Maintained

At a conference yesterday to which a representative of The Age-Herald was de- nied admission, the board of public well fare and the city commission discussed the charity situation of Birmingham.
 After the meeting nothing was made public. The presence of the newspaper man was objected to by ]. D. Moore, chairman of the board, and James Bow ron, a member.
 Members of the city commission stated after the meeting that the board had merely discussed with the commissioners the recent recommendations made after a study of the charity conditions of Bir- mingham. "Those recommendations were that the city should do certain things" stated one of the commissioners, "aDd the board merely called to find out wha, prospects there were of having them done and we explained that the rush of other matters had simply excluded this"
 The welfare board which was appoint ed with a representative from the county, the city, the civic bodies and so forth, sometime ago in lengthy report, made after a rather exhaustive study of the charity conditions of Birmingham, rec commended that certain existing charity rganizations be consolidated and placed under one head to be administered under the supervision of the city government There are now, it is stated, some 20 or 30 charity institutions in the city.
 Why this consolidation, which it was stated would save money in the elimi. nation of overhead expense" has mol taken place, it Is generally understood was the burden of the welfare boards visit

FEDERAL STATUTE IN CONFLICT WITH STATES NEW LAW Uncle Sam Requires Whole sale Dealers to Keep
 Signs Up
MARKS COMPANY
 WAS IN QUANDARY
Solicitor Points Out to Firm Which Signs Are Proper and Which Are Improper Under the
 State Law

The antiliquor advertising law
 struck snag yesterday. according 10
 reports, when Solicitor Hugo Black
 rany store at 2o24 Second avenue and
 vas met with a copy of the federal
 statute with which it ss alleged the
 state law conflicts.
 Following recent agitation, Solicitor
 Black and his representatives have
 been making the rounds of the liquor
 stores and saloons ordering that all
 signs and advertising on the windows
 and fronts of the places be taken down
 or covered up. When MT Slack
 brought this matter to the attention
 of the J. c. Marks company yesterday.
 1t is reported, he was asked for advice
 as to whether the company should obey
 the federal or the state statute, the former requiring them to keep the
 name and class of the business on
 the outside of the place of business, and the state law forbidding it. Mir. Black Is said to have replied he
 knew nothing of any such federal law, but after looking the matter up he iitSli utltu tnt tPbiPdhN WHitil signs 1t should cover and which signs should be allowed to remain, aud the large signs on the windows and in front of the companys store as a re- suit are still to be seen
 The section of the federal statute relating to the matter as it was drought to the attention of Solicitor Black is as follows;
 Section S27s. Revised statutes oi the United States:
 Every person engaged in distillina or reetifying spirits, and every whole sale liquor dealer shall place and keep conspicuously on the outside of the place of such business a sign exhibit ing in plain and legible letters not less than three inches in length painted in oil letters or gilded, and of a proper and proportionate width. tho name or distiller, rectifier or whole saler with the words, registered dis tiiiery, 'rectifiers of spirits or whole sale liquor dealer as the case may be Every person who violates the fore
 going provision by negligence. refusal or otherwise shall pay a penalty oi l $500"
 Sheriff Batson is cooperating witt | the solicitor in having the signs re- moved, and 1t is understood that 7 | humber of warrants were in the sher- | iffs hands yesterday to be served II | cases where the dealers refused to conform with the state laws require ments.
 Several of the signs were removed yesterday.
