COOKS TO BLAME If
ARMY FOOD IS BAD
War Department Has Made
Provision for Ample Sup
plies of Meat, Vegetables
QUALITY IS
OF THE BEST

WASHINGTON. June SO.-The
problem of supplying food to the New
York and other State troops en- route
10 the border from the Eastern De
partment is entirely in the hands of
Major Gen. Leonard Wood and the
Department Quartermaster.
The department commanders can
buy anything in the way Of food sup
plies that is required. There is no ex-
cuse for any lack OF food OF the
proper quality.
II is possible that the cooks going
with the State troops are not COM
petent. and complaints Of the food
supplied may be due TO poor propara-
tion rather than poor quality.
Arrangements have been completed
70 see that an ample supply of fresh
meat and vegetables is on hand al all

border So long as they remain on
American soil they will have an album

ment officials are confident that the
food problem will be taken care Of in

MONEY LENDER IS CONVICTED ON
 CRIMINAL CHARGE
First Case on Record in Ala bama Where a Person Has Been Held Criminally Lia-
 ble for UsurOus Interest

G. V. Hoyt. who works for J. H. White, a money-lender in the Woolworth build- ing. was fined S25 in the police court yesterday afternoon for violating ordi- nance SIC. It was the first prosecution under the ordinance. This ordinance re- quires money lenders to give receipts to borrowers and to note upon the original instrument the date of payment. the amount of interest charged, and the bal ance due.
 Beulah Nichols, colored woman who preferred the charge, testified that she borrowed $S from White in 1915, and that she has paid s2250 on this sS. She pro- duced receipts in the court showing these payments. She further testified that White still claims a balance Of $S to- gether with the three months back ln- terest. and that White now threatens to take all her household effects to satisfy this balance.
 The case is an interesting one, as Il is the first case on record in Alabama where a money lender was tried ano convicted on criminal charge lnvoivins usurous interest

LIGHT CHARGES
 TO BE ADJUSTED

Commissioner Arle Barber stated yes terdav morning at the conference of ths board of commissioners that President Peyear of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company had shown dlspo- sition to adjust more amicable electric light rates with the city.
 When I conferred with MT. Pevear, said Commissioner Barber, he showed a very praiseworthy disposition to adjust the matter of more amicable rates with the city. He told me that he would only be too glad to talk over whatever differ ences existed He said the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company would not insist upon the present light charges if they were too high.''
 Commissioner James Weatherly Of the department of public utilities announced that the city would seek a reduction from the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company on the present rates charged.
 The entire light controversy came up through the activity of Commissioner Barber in Investigating alleged discrimi- nations in rates charged the city for cleo tric current and some other light consu- mers, Commissioner Barber has asserted several times that the city of Birmingham is paying more for it's electric current than it should pay
 Commissioner Barber also stated last night that his investigation into the by product gas matter was being prosecuted vigorously and report could be expected within the next 10 days.

BRIDGE |S STOLEN
 STATES BARBER
Steel Structure Valued at $2000 Missing-Said to
 Have BeenSOld for Junk

Commissioner Arlie Barbers pride in the police department was slightly low cred yesterday morning at the commis- sion conference when he announced that steel bridge-a mere bagatelle-some 5C feet in length, had been stolen on the I'd of last September. The discovery of the theft, admitted Commissioner Barber was made yesterday morning when City Engineer Julian Kendrick started to look for the bridge that had nysteriously dis. appeared.
 But" smiled Commissioner Barber gleaning ray of hope, "the theft oc- cured before took office. You will real ize, gentlemen, that under the circum- stances the high efficiency now generally 1 recognized as existing in the Birmingham police department is not marred by tht discovery of this theft, deplorable though it is"
 Well. just as long as they don't steal my viaduct,' said Commissioner Wealth erly, q am willing to overlook many things
 "They haven't stolen it yet chimed in Commissioner Hornady, for I rode over the famous viaduct yesterday" Thank the Lord,' breathed MT. Weatherly.
 The 50-foot steel bridge was stored away on lot at West End and valued at $2000 by the city. On September 2 of la st year an enterprising junk dealer pur- chased it and disposed of it as junk at Alabama City for about $7Q0. For various reasons the city officials have grown curious as to how it all happened. and Commissioner Barber, to make sure that nothing is withheld from the police is having three squads of detectives round up every scrap of evidence that will shed a ray of light on the affair
 Tt is not likely that there will be any arrest made,'' said Commissioner Barber last night, ''until we have pre- scented all our evidence to the grand jury. Of course, then the indictments will be made public. However, the pub lie may rest assured that the city will get paid for the stolen bridge"
 The discovery of the stolen bridge came through the fact of the disastrous Texas Oil company fire several weeks ago. This fire destroyed one of the city's bridges over Village creek and City Engineer Kendrick went out to West End to look at the 5O-foot steel bridge girders to as- certain whether they would be suitable for North Birmingham. There was nc bridge there, and hence the mortifica- tion around the city hall yesterday.
 According to competent witnesses who saw the bold theft the persons who made off with the bridge accomplished the foul deed in daytime with half dozen wagons and several assistants. There was no se- crecy about the matter and the mere fact that the theft was not discovered for five months and half is comparison with the fact that it was discovered at all.
 Well, the city hall is still left
