MORE BURGLARIES
ARE ADDED TO LIST
Reeds Pharmacy and Minchel Market
Are Entered-No Trace Found
of Guilty Ones

Reeds Pharmacy. 273o Avenue G, was
entered Tuesday night by burglars, who
broke in the rear door and took a large
quantity of merchandise, which consisted
of grape juice, chewing gum, cigars,
candy and tobacco. An attempt was
made to enter this store several weeks
ago by breaking one of the plate glass
windows.
Minchel Market company, 1900 Avenue
f. south, was also entered Tuesday
night by prying off the iron bars on
the side window. A large quantity of
foodstuff was taken, which consisted
mostly of hams and white meat.
The police department was notified OF
the burglaries yesterday morning, and
they We're referred to the detective de-
partment, which is working on the cases,
but at a late hour last night no arrest
had been made.
The police department has been worried
considerably with store burglars this
week, and only one arrest has been
made in connection with them. Thus
far. no highway robberies have been re-
ported to the authorities.

SPECIAL SALES ARE
OUT OF QUESTION
Clothing Men Arc Confronted With
Novel Situation as Result of
Advanced Prices

Due to a number of reasons, the fore
most of which is the scarcity of good mer-
chandise, the mems clothing situation
has shifted to an entirely different posi-
ton this year. and it is said that special
sales and cut prices are now quite out
of the question.
Time was when a merchant with the
right buying instinct could enter the mid
season market and pick up any quantity
of clothing at a price that would permit
him to sell it for materially less than its
former worth, and many men have been
taught to wait for just such opportunities
before buying their clothing. The stua
ton is actually reversed this year, and
when a merchant finds it necessary to
replenish his stocks he is invariably con-
fronted with advanced prices at market
instead of lowered ones.
And so it does appear unbusinesslike
that a clothing store should sacrifice O..
present stock when to replace it that
store must pay more for identically the
same quality.
Even maintaining the same standard of
retail prices entails certain loss, be-
cause the manufacturers, without regard
To a merchants standardized prices, have
advanced their quotations all along the
line
The representative clothiers of Biz
mingham, as we'll as those all over the
country, feel like this is the opportune
time to ween the public away from cut
price sales, as people are now quite ia
niliar with merchandising conditions and
cannot expect to find the special values
that were heretofore possible. This APP,
plies not only to suits and overcoats, but
to shoes, hats and furnishing goods for
both men and boys.

MEN AND WOMEN OF
COLLINSVILLE FIGHT
BIG FIRE HEROICLY
Large Mercantile Establishment
Burns in Early Morning With
$4,000 Loss, Partly Gov
cred by Insurance

Colinsville, December 13.-(Special.)-Be-
tween 1 and 2 o'clock this morning the
store and entire stock of general lner-
chandise Of A. c. Kirby was totally de-
stroyed by fire. The building was owned
by Mrs. w. c. Pyron, and stock of goods
was estimated at $4,000. with $4,000 in
surance.
Mrs. Pyron carried only $1,000 insurance
on the building 1t took heroic work to
save the adjoining property. The Nichol-
scr drug store, which Joined the Pyron
building, was badly damaged. All the
fixtures and most of the goods were
moved from the buildings of Reagon' s
meat market, j. e. Gibson, general mer-
chandise store, and F. e. Rogers grocery
store and the telephone exchange. The
town has no fire protection, but practi-
cally every man and most of the women
of the town were on the ground and
either carried water or removed goods
from the nearby store
TIL town was completely destroyed by
fire 16 years ago, and also in 1885, but In
the former fires the buildings were mostly
wood.

Immigration BILL
ACTION DEFERRED
IN u. S. SENATE
POstpOnement of Final Vote
Taken to Discuss Amend
ment by LaFOllette as
to Anarchists

Washington, December 13.-Final ac-
ferred by the Senate tonight to permit
committee consideration of an amend
ment proposed by Senator LaFollette to
eliminate language excluding persons who
advocate or teach destruction of prop
erty. A vote on the passage of the bill
probably will be reached tomorrow.
Senator LaFollette contended that there
were other sufficient bars against an
archists, and that the provision to
which he objected would shut the doors
of the United States to worthy men from
other lands because destruction of prop
erty had been incidental to a revolution
in which they were concerned.
Another entire day was devoted to the
bill by the Senate, most of the debate
centering on amendments suggested to
the nteracy test provision, the exclusion
of Asiatics and the right of asylum for
the prosecuted.
A provision which would have forbid
den entrance to any alien convicted of
crime, even of political character, con-
-|NeNN~'
was eliminated after several senators
had pointed out that such law would
have prevented the entrance into the
United States of patriots like Kossuth
and Garibaldi.
Senator Phelan's amendment to deny
entrance to women of any race whose
men are not admitted unless they are
married, according to American law, was
rejected. He explained it was purposed
to exclude the so-called Japanese picture
brides.
In answering a question, Senator
Smith, chairman Of the immigration
committee, said he had no knowledge
whether President Wilson would veto or
approve the bill. 1t has been stated
authoritatively, however, that another
veto awaits the measure if it is passed
with the literacy test provision.

BIRMINGHAIN'S SALARIES
NOW EQUAL ANY IN SOUTH

The fire departments have different
bases OF determining the salaries of the
hremen. In Atlanta the hosemen and lad
dermen are paid $500 for the first year of
service, $3.50 for the second. 5000 for the
third and $10S0 for the fourth and years
thereafter. The auto drivers are given
$1,000, the lieutenants 1920, and the cap
tains $1440.
birmingham, by its system, has paid all
hremen without office flat salary OF
$50 monthly. The captains get $3.50 q
month, while the two assistant chiefs are
PAID 500 and $l2O respectively. The chief
draws $40 a month.
Thus' the salaries of the Atlanta fire
and police departments were substan-
tally higher than those of Birmingham.
Los Angeles is perhaps the most gener-
GUS city with its employees. The patrol
men are PAID from $s3 to 800 monthly.
The sergeants draw $125. tire capfains s2Oc
and the chief $3.50.

Costs $4,000 More for Sup
plies Than Last Year
GRIFFIN MAKES PLEA
Costs SO Ia Per Cent More to Feed
the City's Mules Than One Year
Ago-Specimen Prices
Are Given

As an evidence OF the enormous gains
made in the price of supplies during
the past - months, City Purchasing
Agent Griffin has warned the commits
sioners that he cannot come within the
amount expended for supplies by the
city last year.
Last year the city's supplies for the
year ran $4,000. If the same supplies
are purchased by the city this year the
total cost will be approximately s4o,-
900 more, or $4,000.
The latest development in the finan-
cial condition of the city means that
some way must be found to raise more
money. In the budget for the fiscal
year, the commissioners failed to figure
on an additional $4,000 for supplies.
The contingent fund set aside to take
care OF unforeseen expenses amounts 10
only $4,000 The appraisement of the
waterworks amounts to this much
alone.
When Mr.. Griffin rendered his letter
to Mr.. Ward yesterday morning the
president of the commission asked:
Does it take more money to feed
Tie CITY lllS car Nudn last!
Yes STREE, and then some. About

agent

men and policemen said Mr.. Ward, as
he turned away and wrinkled his brow
in thought.
The letter of Mr.. Griffin follows:
LAS a matter of information, / want
to call the attention of the board of
commissioners to the very material adj
vance in practically all supplies used
by the city.
'Also as a matter of further infor-
nation, will say that if the depart
ments only use the same amount of
supplies as they did last year, they
would spend at least as much as S3 13
per cent more money on account of the
advance IN prices.

I'm THE PICTURES NDOU1T
BY H. $. RYALL

The best pictures today:
Iou-Tellegen and Cleo Rldgely and all
star cast in The Victoria Cross at the
Strand
Hobart Henley and Gertrude Selby in
THE Sign of the Poppy" at the Rialto.
William s. Hart and Enid Markey in
THE Devils Double" at the Triangle.
1.-THE Victoria Cross at the Strand
should be an exceptionally strong &C.
ture. Lou-Tellegen, Cleo Ridgely, Sessue
Hayakawa, Ernest Joy and Mabel Van
Buren, Is cast that insures a finished
production and the theme of the play
is of a nature to give each of these
stars full opportunity to register their
marvellous portrayals.
THE Victoria Cross is a photo-drarrn
founded on the Sepoy rebellion in India
in 1857. 1t is thrilling story, full of
action, and has been very effectively
staged in the hill country Of California
THE Sign of the Poppy" featuring
Hobart Henley and Gertrude Selby, at the
Rialto today. is story, in the main, of
the grip and evil of opium and the strug-
giles of the Marston family to escape its
baneful influence and heritage. The play
is deliberately staged and intelligent at
tention is given to every detail The Chi
natown scenes are good and we'll handled
A good conflagration scene is also staged,
with no dashing-through-the stuff
or ma n'lin antics. such as Is usual in the
crowd which congregates before film fires.
William S. Hart has never done any
thing better than his characterization OF
Bowie" Blake In the Devils Double"
showing at the Triangle today and to-
morrow. His impersonauon OF the really
bad two-gun man of the old west is abo 1t
perfect
Bowie Blake was quick with his Colts
As, but quicker with his bowie knife He
was killer firing of being an outlaw,
he settled down. to dealing faro in an
Arizona border town Discovered by an
artist he is prevailed upon to pose as
the Devil. He goes into the mountains
with the artist and the artists wife for
the completion of the picture and. of
course, falls in love with the wife. While
absent from the cabin, two cattle rustlers
come and kill the husband and are in the
act of cutting high cards for who shall
possess the woman, Enid Marley, when
Blake appears and kills them both and
rides away with the unconscious woman
into the mountain.
The fight with bowie knives in the burn
ing cabin is one of the most realistic and
thrilling scenes imaginable.
Harris acting in the final reel IS
wonderful The good and evil of his
nature each seek to predominate
Fighting it out alone, his better ele-
ment prevails and he returns to the
woman with the intention of carry
ing her safely back to civiliza ton. He
finds her in a swoon with a rattle
