 CO. IS SAREVELATION
Many Guests Enjoy HOspi- tality of Company at Bar becue Luncheon and
 Inspect Plant

More than POO guests of the Alabama Grocery company-most of them phy
 sicians-partook of barbecue luncheon on that company's "back porch yes terday afternoon at 80 after having
 made an inspection of the plant, from the coffee roasting rooms on the top floor to the Buffalo Rock bottling rooms in the basement. The guests were enthu- siastic in their enjoyment and their part ing with Sid Lee was filled with express slcns of appreciation not only of the
 luncheon, which was great, but of the plant itself, which was a revelation.
 "A fellow just don't realize the many
 things we have right here in Birming-
 ham until he sees them,' was the won
 dering comment of one guest, and that
 summed up the sentiment of the crowd The guests were transported imme- diately to the top floor of the company s building upon arrival and inspected the coffee roasting plant in full operation. The method by which foreign substances ale removed from the coffee was ex- plained in detail, and the dry cleaning" process to which the berry is subjected was a source, of great interest From the coffee room the guests proceeded to the room where grits are made, thence to the l floor below where a number of tidy girls were engaged in filling cartons with the grits being ground on the floor above a chute sending the finished prod- liCt ba oIro

AUSTRIAN VERSION

Berlin, June 17.-(By Wireless.)-Re ports from Vienna during the last few days, delayed in transmission, empha- size the violence of the fighting on the Russian front.
 From these reports the Austrian resist ance in southern Galicia and Bukowina appears notably strong.
 On June 14 Vienna announced the re- pulse of the Russian attacks near Kolki. north of Nova Aleiniec, northwest of Tarnopol, and on the Dneister, with heavy losses to the attacking forces.
 The report of the Tenth recorded violent engagements along the whole northern Austrian front. Five Russian attacks were successively resisted. Russian at- tempts to cross the Styr near Kolki, and northwest of Czartorysz were frustrated, but the Austrians had to yield on the lower Strypa, being driven to the west bank. The Russians tried to advance northwest of Tarnopol, but were unsuc- cesSful

 $246, $50 interest.
 "A considerable sum can be obtained from street taxes at $5 per capita. "In 1897 and 1899 the legislature au- thorized the board of education of Bir- mingham to charge tuition as well as incidental fees in the public schools. T do not know whether these acts have been repealed or not but from these two sources must come the $144OO0 necessary in this crisis.
 Tn order to prepare for all eventu- alities it is recommended, first, that the city attorney be instructed to report im- mediately on the school acts of 1897 and 1899. Second that the city attorney pre- pare an ordinance providing a street tax of s5 on all male citizens over IS years of age and under 50. Third. that the city attorney be instructed to pre- pare an ordinance providing horizontal increase on all licenses, if such may be lawfully levied and collected. Respect fully submitted,

 ON SERIOUSNESS. OF : CITY'S FINANCES IF

 lateral, but in the event of a default, these bonds would no longer be accepted by the federal reserve bank.
 BONDS WOULD DROP
 Deprived of these markets and met by an influx of old bonds thrown on the market by frightened investors. it is easy to see that the price of Birmingham bonds would immediately collapse, there by entailing enormous losses to the pres ent holders and irretrievably destroying the citys credit which today is it's great est asset.
 Tt may be that raid on the citys bonds is desired by some financial inter ests for the purpose of depressing the value of the bonds in order that they might be bought up at panic prices.
 This was once done to Birmingham bonds and the theory is tenable on the idea that a constitutional amendment will later rehabiltate them by permitting a sufficient tax levy to take care of the interest and sinking fund. .'Ihe second alternative is equally inn possible of consideration. That alternative is based upon reduction of the police and fire departments by 50 per cent This would effect saving of $71 900 in the po- lice department and $7l,50o in the fire de- partment The efficiency of both de- partments would be immediately de- stroyed, and only half the sum needed would be saved.
 .The city would be unable to control crime and fire losses, and the insurance companies would immediately reinstate higher rates of fire insurance at cost to the people of Birmingham of probably $500.OOO per annum.
 CUTTING EDUCATION FUND After carefully scanning the budget. no other items can be found which can even be considered to meet this condi- ton, except the city's appropriation for public school education, which is $2S1 600 for the year. Even with this $2S1 O0O the board of education found it necessary to raise an additional $50.000 through an in- cidental fee If, therefore. the $24s000 i'm terest payable during the following F months were to be taken out of the school appropriation, it would necessarily re- | suit in having no schools or having the school appropriation supplemented from thew and unique sources.
 Tt was hoped the small incidental fee

PROGRESS ADMITTED

Progress for the Russians was admit ted in the statement of June 13, the en- trance of their cavalry into Zagadora. Snyatin and Horodenka being reported. They were repulsed on the Pruth south of Boyan and near Burkanow on the Strypa.
 The fighting northwest of Tarnopol was continued uninterruptedly. A Russian cavalry detachment was driven back southwest of Dubno in Volhynia, but their cavalry reached the Torezyn district. Further efforts of the Russians to cross the Styr near Zokul and elsewhere were futile. In this district 2000 Russians were captured. sss T
 Renewed attacks by the Russians south of Boyan and north of Czernowitz, all of which were repulsed were reported on

BOTTLING MACHINES

rTOIl lue uTdlIluS DOdTu, the DOllleTS removed the bottles, placing them under the bottling machines as fast as hands can move. As the operator dropped a bottle under the machine, there was a sputter of escaping gas, a tan-colored liquid quickly filled the bottle, a sharp lclick was heard as the top was clamped down, and the bottle was next seen on a running board on it's way to an in-
 spector who placed the filled container above an electric light to see that no foreign substances were therein.
 The inspector passes the bottles on to an attendant who places them in the case. They next are taken to the label ing machine and the labels affixed in one quick operation. This labelling ma chine was a wonder and a crowd of the guests constantly surrounded it. The label was attached to the bottle in the first downward operation of the machine. and as the downward move ment continued rubber hands" grasped the label on either side and smooothed it down. If the operator failed to place bottle in the fed, the machine stopped, without wasting label.
 The guests refused to leave the bot ting room until someone yelled, "barbecue" Even then they were re- luctant. but all arrived at the back of the building in time to enjoy barbecued beef pork, mutton. lamb, Brunswick stew, cold slaw Buffalo Rock" hot coffee and even hot biscuits. S. w. Lee declared that if any man at tempted to make a speech he would be arrested, and the guests were spared.

HEFLIN SEES VICTORY
 AHEAD FOR DEMOCRATS
Says Wall Streets Chief Grievance Against Wilson Legsla
 tion Which Took Control of Nations Money Out of Their Hands
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, June Especial )-"There was a great deal of interest shown in Washington by all classes of people dur ing the Chicago convention" said Repre- sentative Heflin of Alabama.
 One of the negroes who is well known around the capital asked me whom the republicans had nominated. I told him that Hughes had been chosen.
 Well, who is Mr. Hughes?' the ne- gro asked.
 Why, he is a justice of the supreme court" I replied.
 Yes, sir returned the negro with a comical shake of the head. And he asked again: And whom did the progressives nominate?
 T told him that Roosevelt had ~been chosen The old negro, his face beaming, turned to me with great expectancy.
 Well, say boss, who will the white folks nominate in St. Louis.'
 MT. Heflin is sanguine of democratic success. He declares that Hughes will not prove a strong candidate He be- lieves that the progressives, thrown down by Roosevelt, will break up, and that the democrats will get one-third of their votes.
 And the people," he continued "will resent the republican burglary of the supreme court. The people of the north and west and south will resent the effort of big business in New York to punish the democratic party because by it's fed eral banking legislation it prevented Wall street controlling the money of the world

INCREASING LICENSES

 'The general business licenses for the year 1915 amounted to $254,955.7S.

 Ut must be remembered that in obe- dience to the budget law all appropria- tions were cut last year to the bone. We denied all applications for charity, a position which ought to bring a blush of shame to our cheeks. We refused to appropriate one dollar to fight tuber- culosis in our community, crime against the health and lives of our people. We cut the library and reduced the appro- prations for street and police and fire protection. We reduce the inadequate scale of salaries for teachers in the pub lie schools. We abolished free textbooks, an incident of every enlightened school system. All this has already been done;

INTERESTING PROCESS

The cartons were placed on a moving work bench, and each girl had specific part of the packing, folding, sealing and labelling to do. As the cartons passed under her hands, one girl filed it with grits. It moved on to the next, who folded the cover. The next girl sealed it and the next affixed the label and the cartoon, ready for a grocery shelf, passed on into bin, which was replaced py an empty one as often as necessary.
 The physicians proceeded to the base ment to view the bottling of Buffalo Rock ginger ale, and this proved to be the most interesting part of the pro gramme. The bottling room was inclosed completely with screening wire. and the bottlers dressed in white. The bottle washing machine was very interesting, and it was explained thatthe bottles were placed in the machine for 40 minutes, the water used for the washing being at a temperature as high as the glass could stand without breaking.~ After the re- quired time, the machine elected the cleaned bottles into tub filled with run ming water. From here a white clad at tendant removed the bottles, placing them on rinsing machine, where rub Der brushes operated by machinery thor oughly rinsed the inside of the bottles, which immediately were placed on a draining board for period of 10 minutes
