at WoOdlawn

Will Farley, negro brakesman employed
by the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company, was fatally injured at
o clock yesterday morning when a trailer
of work train of the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company struck
a cow at SiXty-seventh street and First
avenue, Woodlawn. The impact threw
the trailer off the track in front of a
passenger car coming to Birmingham

The work train was going east on First
avenue and the passenger car was go
ing west at the time of the accident.
Motorman S. ]. Waters, 74l2 First ave-

DU POINT COMPANY is
SEEKING COAL HERE
Price of 81 Per Ton for Steam
Coal Offered on Big
Contract

The fact that the country is faced with
a famine of coal was given strong sub
sanitation yesterday. 1t was reliably
reported that the du Pont Powder COM
pany was in the Birmingham market for
coal. This followed closely upon the
announcement that the powder mills at
Hopewell had been forced to close be-
cause Of a shortage of coal for fuel.
The du Pont company offered 81 ton
for 10000 tons of steam coal, the fuel
to be shipped as soon as possible TO
Hopewell. This price is unprecedented.
Steam coal has never attained this figure,
but it is predicted that it will soar be-
You'd this mark before the termination of
the approaching winter
The most remarkable fact about the
offer. which C. p. Allen. Birmingham
representative for the du Pont company,
would neither confirm nor deny, is that
Hopewell is within a short distance OF
the Pocahontas coal fields of West Vir-
GINA, and is on the main line of the
Norfolk and Western railroad, which
handles coal shipments originating in that
state.
Birmingham is over GOO miles from
Hopewell.
The situation that has caused the du
Pont company to seek coal from the Bir-
mingham market has brought more than
a score of buyers, representing large in
dustries in st;0as that have been sup
piled formerly by other fields, to the city.
| Here they have plead with the large
companies for immediate shipment of
coal But, by virture of existing con-
tracts, these companies coulf rot aid
them.

WOMAN CLEARS $500
ON QUARTER ACRE IN
JEFFERSON COUNTY
Enterprising Birmingham Woman
Puts Up Brand of Pepper Sauce
From Home Grown Product

That ideas out of the ordinary some
times prove profitable are demonstrated
day after day. One of these ideas led a
Birmingham woman to make pepper
sauce and from one-quarter of an acre of
land this year this enterprising woman
will clear between $500 and 5000.
The originator of this pepper sauce
business is Mrs. A. c. Smith of Alb First
avenue, West End. Mrs. Smith put out
one-quarter of an acre in Orange and
Shoe Peg peppers, and from her crop has
bottled about 5000 TASKS of pure home
made sauce. 1t is put up in bottles to
wholesale at 80 cents. % and 80 per
Dozen Striking an average of SIPS per
dozen, this crop from a small plot of
ground will net Mrs. Smith over $500.
Certainly this beats cotton, and no weevil
or other insect pest has the audacity to
attack King Pepper, either in the field
or out. So it is a safe crop.
Mrs. Smith has named her product the
"Purety Brand and Birmingham mer-
chants are patronizing this home indus
try.
The extreme wet weather in the early
summer washed up many of the plants,
thus cutting down production and profit,
but it is doubtful if any other quarter
acre of ground in Jefferson county OF
the state equalled the cash output of this
West End land

CITY TO TAKE CASE
TO SUPREME COURT
Review of Tidewater De-
cision by Public Service
Commission to Be Asked

petition to the Alabama supreme
court for a review of the decision of the
Alabama public service commission, in
the matter of granting the majority bond
holders of the Tidewater the right to con-
solidate with the Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company, will be filed by
the city within the next few days.
The petition prays that the supreme
court review the evidence submitted IN
the hearing before the public service COM
mission, and refuse to grant the right f
consolidation or operation to the Bir-
mingham Railway, Light and Power COM
pany The petition was prepared by Com
missioner Weatherly and City Attorneys
Ullman and Sadler. Much secrecy re-
garding the step taken by the city has
been maintained up to date.
The validity of the act creating the pub
lie service commission is attacked in the
petition of the city. The contention Of
the city is that the public service COM
mission had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter and that their decision should be de-
clared void. Much stress is laid on the
fact that section 220 of the constitution Of
1901 expressly states that the streets of
any city, town or village shall not be used
by any corporation without the consent
of the authorities of such municipal cor
poration.
Commissioner Weatherly in commenting
on the latest step of the city to invalidate
the operation of the Tidewater lines by
the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company said: This is simply the
next step in our fight to prevent the con-
solidation of the two lines. 1t is what
should have been expected. There is
nothing unusual in the proceedings"
The Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company will have a hearing be-
fore Judge Grub of the federal court on
their peptition for the substitution of the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company for the name, of j. d. Kirkpat-
rick, who appeared before the Alabama
public service commission as agent of
the majority bondholders of the Tide
water company next Friday.

REPUBLICANS DID
NOT COMPLY WITH
CODE OF ALABAMA
Failed to Submit Required
Number of Names for
Election Officers to the
Board, Says Knight

The Ninth district republicans were
not denied representation in the matter
of election inspectors and clerks. accord
ing to statement last night by f. B.
Knight, chief deputy sheriff, who served
as clerk of the election commission.
Mr.. Knight pronounces these charges
Of the district republican campaign COM
mittee as ludicrous. The idea that the
republicans might defeat the democrats
in jefferson county was not considered
seriously by the election commission, ac-
cording to Mr.. Knight.
1t is declared that the republicans them
selves failed to comply with the election
law in the matter of submitting a GER
tain number of names from each of the
119 precincts. Mr.. Knight asserts that
Mr.. Kennamer. who was acting for the
republican organization, submitted the
number OF names required by law in only
80 of the 119 precincts of the district and
that in 40 precincts the republicans sub
mitted not oven one name

PURELY CIVIL MATTER

Mr.. Wilkinson admits that the oliis
remedy for the city authorities when
citizens refuses to pay his street tax is L.
file suit in the circuit court.
TT is purely civil matter" said Mr
Wilkinson, land the city authorities have
arbitrarily usurped the constitutions!
rights of citizens by haling them into thu
courts on criminal charges for failure to
pay a street tax. The city can sue II,
the courts for it's street taxes, but II
has not the right to place citizens VIII,
refuse to pay in jail. That is clearly M
unconstitutional procedure and is onlt'
consistent with the high-handed manner 81
doing business at the city hall regardless
of the public.
I'VE are ready for trial in the Cart
Moon case and it is possible that Attorney
Joe Emery will join us in the defense OF
his client, f. f. Best, to conduct t's
proceedings on both cases together. Tho
facts are practically the same, as tho
city will argue that it has the right y
send citizens to Jail who do not bow 10
its imperial will, while we will hold -
the contrary
At the court house there is much ia

NOT ENOUGH NAMES

Section 352 of the code of Alabama pro-
vides that any political party may fur
nish to the appointing board a list Of not
less than three qualified electors from
each voing place from which list the
appointing board is required to appoint
inspectors and clerks to represent such
political party at each voting place. A
list was furnished by Mr.. Kenenamer
containing pol names for all the voting
places in Jefferson county.
There are 119 voting places in the coun-
ty, which number multiplied by three
would require a minimum of 357 names
in order to comply with the law as above
referred to, provided as many as three
and not more than that number had been
given for each voting place. The list
furnished by Mr.. Kennamer, however
contained more than three names for 81
precincts, exactly three for II, only two
for 80 precincts, only one in five, and
no names at all for the other 40 voting
places, and of the names furnished a
number did not appear on the official list
of qualified electors furnished to the ap-
pointing board.
Under the above circumstances the
board endeavored to appoint from the list
in every precinct possible and no thought
of discrimination was displayed by the
actions of any member of the board nor
was any fear of defeat suggested"
