PHILADELPHIA AFTER THE AUrosLAYER,


One great city of the United States is definitely
.sout AFTER reckless autoists who imperil human
life. After year of accidents fatal and otherwise,
which rolled up an appalling total, the authorities
began to take heed of newspaper urging. Now Phil
adelphia grand jury has been empanelled and in his
charge to it judge of the criminal court pointed out
that the number of persons kie by motor vehicles
in this city since the first of the was double the
number of those who met their deaths by other
forms of violence gunshots, stabbing or beating.
The intention to kill may have been, doubtless was
absent in the great majority of all these cases but
the obligation rests none the less upon the com
munity to protect itself from all these forms of
violence, says the Philadelphia Ledger. In the case
eof the auto fatalities the increasing number of mo-
tor vehicles operated in narrow streets and under
conditions for which the streets were never intended
and the carelessness of pedestrians must all be TAX
en- into account in fixing the responsibility But 1t
is unfortunate that there exists class of auto driy
ers Indifferent to and defiant of the speed regula.
lions and it is to these the judge referred when ne
recommended the Indictment of moter slayers.
1t has been found, in Philadelphia, the Ledger
adds that the imposition of fines is not sufficient
deterrent to the speeders. Perhaps the conviction
of few offenders for manslaughter and the appli
cation of suitable penalties will have greater effect
in impressing upon these persons respect for the
law and for the rights of the public. Law-abiding
automobile owners and drivers it to themselves
to cooperate with the authorities in making the
streets safe and in thus dissociating themselves
from the lawbreakers they will at the same time
take effective precautions against the enactment OF
unjust and too sweeping restraints upon legitimate
auto traffic.

INSPECTION FEES
TO Be REFUNDED
City Commission at Meeting
Today Will Discuss Rou-
tine Matters

No matters of Importance are sched-
uled to come before the commissioners
this morning. 1t Is generally conceded
that the policy of the commissioners In
the future will be to keep down as much
drastic law making and reform agita-
ton as possible.
An ordinance will be introduced in
structing the city comptroller to re-
fund the liquor inspection fees collected
by the city. This law was declared I'M
constitutional sometime ago, by the
supreme court. Attorney John Altman
appeared before the commission few
weeks ago with the claims of several
ment for the return of the inspection
tax. The ordinance will, in all prob
ability, be passed unanimously.
Commissioner Hornady will be absent
from the conference and meeting. He Is
scheduled to speak for the school
amendment at Sulligent today. w. +.
Feagin, state superintendent of educa-
ton, induced Mr.. Hornady to make the
speech to the citizens of Sulligent in
stead of himself. Mr. Feagin has been
waging an active campaign In favor
of the amendment for sometime and
owing to the numerous speeches he has
made during the past week his voice
has been impaired to such an extent
he can hardly talk.

matter of motorizing the garbage de-
partment with the commission infor-

SUBSTATIONS ARE
ESTABLISHED BY
BOARD OF HEALTH
Diphtheria Will Be Made Free
of Charge

Fifteen substations for the purpose
of examining blood cultures have been
establisher by the city department of
health. These stations were formerly
maintained by the city but were discon-
tinued when the budget system was
of the city. No charge will be made for
the examination of the cultures for
diphtheria.
Commissioner Hornady stated yester-
day that these substations were abso-
lutely necessary and would aid ma
terially in fighting the diphtheria which
is generally prevalent at this time of
the year. I'VE expect very little diph-
iberia this year, owing to the present
cleanliness of the CITY," said Commits
soner Hornady. The addition of these
stations will enable the city authorities
to Immediately ascertain whether or
not patient who is i'll has diphtheria
and in the event this is true the nee
essary precautions of isolation and
quarantine may be taken.
The stations will be located at the
following places: John L. Parker's drug
store, Letaw's pharmacy Highland
pharmacy, Quinn Drug company, West
End Drug company, Thomas Drug COM
pany, Berney's pharmacy, Wylam phar
macy, Twenty first Avenue Drug COM

for Sale Is in Demand and Ship
ments Are Increasing

1t was stated at the postoffice yester-
day that the parcels post shipments Of

Yesterday morning the refrigerator ill.,
stalled by the postal authorities to take
care of the farm products. such as eggs
and poultry, overnight and over Sundays,
was packed to it's capacity, and every par
cells post delivery wagon in the city was
kept busy throughout the day making de-
liveries.
THAT simply indicates" said Assistant
Postmaster Edward D. Norman, thai
the city folks are becoming familiar with
the fact that they can trade one OF two
hundred miles away from Birmingham in
farm produce cheaper than with the re-
tailers in the city.
"All that is needed is for the farmer
and the ultimate consumer to get together
and the problem of the high cost of liv-
ing will be solved"
That the housewives are taking an ac-
tive interest in what is going on was
also indicated at the postoffice yesterday
by the repeated requests for the published
lists of farmers who have produce fol
sale at reasonable prices The postoffice
attaches granted each request with smiles

press upon the people is that when [
leave the city hall my work will have
been done in manner so that whoever
succeeds me may be able to continue
without any undue trouble
DONE WITH POLITICS
When asked if he contemplated running
for governor or in any way re-entering
politics in the future. Mr. weatherly
said: Il have no idea of entering any
political race l am through with poll
tics and intend to pursue the practice of
law the balance of my days"
Mr.. Weatherly was elected commits
sioner in April, 1911. He Immediately be-
gan an active campaign for municipal
ownership. The telephone case now
pending before the Alabama public serv-
ice commission is another fight made by
Mr.. Weatherly for the principle of con-
trolling public service corporations and
advocating the ownership of others. Mr.
Weatherly has served continuously dur
ing the past five and half years, hav-
ing been reelected by the people two
years ago.
Under the commission form of govern
ment provision is made for the successor
of any commissioner who resigns or dies
during his incumbency. This provision
specifies that the remaining commission
CTS snail elecl the SUCCESSOR by u ma
jorty vote. Under this ruling any COM
missioner may indorse a candidate, but
one must receive a majority of the votes
cast before being duly elected.
No one has been named as a probable
successor of Mr.. Weatherly, although
Morris Bush, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, according to rumor, will
be considered if he can be persuaded to
accept the office. While it has been gen.
orally known that Mr.. Weatherly would
not enter the next commission race, it
was not thought he would resign. The
announcement to this effect will prob
ably bring out the names of several
aspirants to this office.
