With the streets and buildings decor ated in flags and colors, Ensey is ready to help entertain the Confederate vet
 erans during their reunion, which be- gins today. The local merchants have
 have thrown open their doors to the visiting delegates The members of the
 Ensey club have secured a man to stand on the corner of Avenue F and Nineteenth street with sign, Ask Me- on his hat to assist the visiting veterans
 to find the places which are assigned to
 them. While number of veterans came
 to Ensley yesterday they were imme- Ciately taken care of and there is still
 room for a number of others. The Ems
 ley lodge No. 9S7, Benevolent Protective
 Order of E,lls have promised to take
 care of 15 or 20 veterans, giving them
 their food and meals free and also to
 lend their hall as rooming house dur
 ing the convention, dwhich will hold over 50 cots. They, together with the
 Steel City lodge No. 1856, Woodmen of the
 World, and the Ensey hospital, will take
 care of nearly 200 visitors, besides those
 being cared for by individual families
 in this district While the majority of
 the Ens,ey Boy Scouts have been called
 to Birmingham, where they are great
 ly needed and are rendering a great
 deal of service, there still enough
 left in Ensley to help take care of the
 old soldiers. Every member of the Ems ley club and the business men of this
 district have organized themselves into
 a committee to look after the veterans
 visiting the town and will show them all the courtesy possible. The members of the Stonewall chapter, United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy of Ensley, will serve sandwiches with another chapter in Birmingham during the reunion and .. they will also take care of number of visitors.
 A number of inquiries have been made 9 bout the opening of the Ensley play grounds and ] A. Dupuy, president Of the Ensey Playground association. has called meeting of the association for next Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Ensley High school. The Ensey playgrounds proved to be very popular last season, especially among the small CT children of this district, and the Ems ley park is the largest and most beau tifu park in the whole Birmingham dis trict. Practically all of the equipment used last year will have to be refur- nished and several new attractions will be added The members of the asso- citation have taken a great deal of in terest in the work and President Du- 1 puy believes that they will be able to do much better than last year owing l to improved financial conditions. All persons interested in this movement are urged to attend the meeting on next Tuesday afternoon.

what transpring in Toxic and now the answer has
been given 1t rock-bound alliance between Russia
and Japan and contains at least two agreements That
is say, two agreements have been made public.
Whether there any further understanding which has
not been published has not yet been indicated
The first article is innocent enough, merely
agreement that neither nation will take part IN

The second article is far significant 1t pro-
vides that ain the territorial rights special in

which recognized by the other contracting party

The Toxic foreign office explains that the second
clause is extension of the Anglo Japanese alliance

Probably one has yet been able to any recent

People Must Uphold Law

1t has been proven in the of COchise county,

the people themselves uphold the law They must them
selves want prohibition of the liquor traffic. otherwise
laws and officers enforce the laws are Of no avail
From the experience of prohibition IN Cochlse county
Arizona "dry" it would appear the total alb
snence sentiment in that county none too strong.
So almost impossible has it become to secure eonvc-
tons by jury where it has been proven liquor

nounced that in the future he would seek convictions

Introduction for personal use" has proven the loop
hole for booteggers in Cochse county, and ues have
shown themselves willing to acquit defendant who
made the plea of personal use if it appeared he
had brought enough liquor trip to last him the
greater part of his natural life and also though he
possessed federal license for the sale of liquor.
With big county and small force of deputies
sheriff Harry Wheeler has made gallant fight for law
enforcement, but he has frequently complained of the
difficulty of obtaining evidence to convict in liquor SELL
ing cases and has insisted that good citizenship de-
manded cooperation of the public with the authorities

Sheriff Wheeler is right. Citizens everywhere it
