CROSSLAND REPORT TO BE SUBMITTED TO
 BOARD OF REVENUE
Government Engineer Has Gone Over Data on Proposed Routes for the Warrior Highways and Made
 Recommendation

The report from w. A. Crossland. gov ernment engineer, on the proposed War rior river highway, was not submitted to the board of revenue yesterday as origin ally intended Mr. Crossland was unable to get his manuscript into typewriter form in time to submit it, and turned it over to George H. Clark, county engineer, who will have it typewriter and turn it
 in to pr. R. F. Lovelady, president of the board of revenue, Monday.
 MT. Crossland and his wife left Bir- yesterday morning for Mont gomery. He had completed the work de- tailed to him by the government in CO., operating with the county board of reve- nue, and the committee appointed from the Chamber of Commerce. MT. Cross land has worked hard on the data com- piled by County Engineer Clark, and ex- pressions of apprecia tion have been ten dered him from members of the board.
 Just what action will be taken on the matter of building the highway is up- known at the present time. Everyone has conceded that the two highways putting Birmingham on the Warrior should be built, and it is quite probable that some definite action will be taken at once. The question has not been discussed by the board of revenue in sometime. They have been waiting the final report of the engineers.

MINE ACCIDENTS
 GREATLY REDUCED
Safety First Association Is Getting Ready for Its
 Annual Meeting

The activity of the coal operators and the miners of this district through the organization known a the Ala bama Safety association" with the aid of the United States bureau of mines, made splendid record last year, reducing the number of accidents 50 per cent in mine operations, thus conserving property and life to a remarkable degree.
 By continuous cooperation between the employees and the employers, it is confi- de ntly predicted that within a few years casualties in the mines of Alabama will be reduced to a minimum and but little will ever be heard of the horrors of the mines.'
 A great stimulus to the cooperative Safety First movement is the peaceful relations which now exist between miner and operator in this industrial fieid the improved systems in mine work the ad- vancement in training of the workmen the educational. social and moral envir- onment which elevates and strengthens and the satisfactory wage scales which prevail Each of these improvements aids materially in the present Safety First campaign which is now proving so effec- tual.
 Preparations are almost completed for the annual meet of the association, which is to be held at Redwood park Saturday, May 27 Sixteen teams have already been entered and are practicing for the occa- sion and more are expected before the closing date, which is Wednesday, May TO-

JOb
 VERY LUCRATIVE Citizens Have Two Best Plums at Their Disposal
 in Beats q and 37

During all the excitement caused by the races for the so-ca11ed big places in Jefferson county at next Tuesdays primary. very little has been said about the two places which have be- come among the two best plums which the voters of Alabama have at their disposal.
 These two offices are constable of precinct aI and precinct 37, the big beats in the heart of Birmingham While little is generally known about the income of offices which depend on fees for their remuneration. the gem eral impression has been that the con- stables of these two precincts have heretofore had incomes of at least 5000 8 year. Constables are among the few officers of Jefferson county who will continue for the next four years to derive their incomes from fees.
 Men who have studied the situation now estimate that with the elimination
 of the fee system in other offices much more work will be thrown to the con stables and their duties will be great ly increased to say nothing of the emoluments, for their pay will depend upon the number of legal papers which pass through their hands. It Is said that a good many men who always keep an eye open for the fat offices are now very much cha grined to find that they have over looked one of the very best bets. But even at that the office is highly ap- preciated as shown by the number of applicants for both of the city pre- cinct places.
 The candidates for constable of pre- cinct 21 whose names were certified by the county democratic committee are: J. E. Matlock. B. M. Grain. J. M. Tuck, A. F. James. Frank c. Macke. John L. Lunsford. J. G. Worsham, R. H.
 Allison. George M Dorman. C. M Burkhalter. John w. Caldwell, George M. Howle. M. E. Morris. R. T. Boatrite and M. Nunnelly.
 The candidates for constable in pre- cinct 37 whose names have been cer- tified by the county committee are: J. D. (Doc) Carlisle. J. c. Rabb. Jack Greener. Joseph T. Abernathy, A. S. Johnson. M. W. Parsons and Pink Li- cette.

 SING WEDNESDAY Famous Prima Donna to Give Private Recital to
 Music Lovers

Madame Marie Rappold, prima donna Of the Metropolitan Opera company, will ap- pear at a private recital before an audi Birmingham Wednesday evening at the Jefferson theatre She will be intro duced by Frederick Gunster, a Birming- ham man who has sung with her in the east in years past
 The fame of Madame Rappold's appeal ing soprano voice is far-fIung. Since 1905 she has been one of the leading singers in the Metropolitan Opera company in New York. She is celebrated not only for great personal charm and beauty. Her repertoire includes a score of prominent roles, her interpretation of Aida being perhaps, best known. Invariably when she is cast at the Metropolitan Opera house, the place is sold out immediately She has distinguished herself in such ex- acting roles as Desdemona in "Othello, :" Leonora in I'll Trovatore," Elsa in 'Lo- hengrin5s' Elizabeth in "Tannhauser Eva in Die Meistersinger" Micaela in Car mem and Freia in Das Rheingold." As Frela, the Goudess or Spfing, III Dds Rheingod," Madame Rappold has, per- haps, won her greatest fame. Only re- gently the impressario of the Metropoli- tan Opera company intrusted to her one of the leading roles in the revival of Herman Goetzs operatic version of The Tanning of the Shrew.
 Madame Rappold is a brooklynte. Since she came into prominence she has re- ceived numberless flatterng offers from foreign opera companies, but she prefers America. Several seasons ago the King of Roumania decorated her after she had added greatly to the brilliance of an opera season in Bucharest. The critics of New York are always lavish in their praises of her and one of them recently said that she had one of the most beautiful voices now heard on the operatic stage

 KEEP TICKS HERE
Dr. Jackson Points to the Desperate Means Taken at Eleventh Hour by
 Tick Advocates

Dr. R. E. Jackson, who is the local government representative in charge or tick eradication work said yesterday an eleventh-hour effort is being made to re- tain Jefferson county in the ''tick-infest- ed'' class by circulation of false reports.
 Tt appears that some dealers in ticky cattle in Jefferson county have become arprehensive that if the people of the county voted to eradicate the cattle tick their handling of this kind of cattle would be interferred with" he said. Therefore, in order to defeat the meas ure in the county false rumors are be- ing circulated throughout the county con- corning the work
 That they may continue to deal in ticks these individuals are willing to de- feat a measure that will insure the erad1- cation of the cattle tick from Jefferson county, and place the county in the area of Alabama released from quarantine and it's attending restrictions. They are will ing that their county should continue in fested with the obnoxious and costly cat tie tick in order that they may make a few paltry blood stained dollars handling tick-infested cattle without going to the trouble Of ridding the cattle of ticks. They are willing for the good people of this county t., drink the milk and eat the flesf of tick-infested cattle They appear not willing that Jefferson county should take advantage of an opportunity that is be ing presented to. it's citizens to rid the county of cattle ticks for all time lr order to poison the minds of cattle own CTS Of the county against the issue oi eradiea ting cattle ticks rumors are being circula ted that tick eradication will near that cattle owners cannot get to use th' public range in the county during the time the work is being conducted and after ward. Any statement made to that eff feet it is desired to brand as absolutely false and Inwarranted.
 7 During the progress of tick eradica- ton work in this state in the past years cattle owners have been able to use the range as desired. In Walker and Tusca- loosa counties adjoining Jefferson county this work is being conducted at the pres ent time, and cattle in these counties are using the range as freely as ever ap ] shorld the work be conducted in lief ferson county cattle owners here will be able to get as free use of the range as they have today.
 Regardless of the wishes of those un- progressive tick loving individuals who ferson county by false and misleading statements concerning this important movement the good people of the county who desire to see their county assume her place among the progressive, tick free counties of the state should take ar active interest in this matter, and ex press themselves at the polls in favor of progress and for the eradication of tn, cattle tick.
