Freak Sand Storm.

The elements put one over on
the oldest inhabitant" Wednes-
day afternoon in the way of a
sand storm. At this season of
the year sand storms are expect
ed most any time, and one was
seen approaching from the south
shortly after the noon hour, but
before reaching the city limits
the air currents carried the storm
over the town, and for two hours
the sand ladened air obscured
the sun, and cast lurid light
over the town. All the time the
storm was raging in the sky, an
almost dead calm was prevailing
in the city. So strange was the
phenomena that considerable un-
easiness was manifested by some
of our citizens. About 4 O'Clock
the storm was over, Old Sol was
as bright as ever, and confidence
in the perpetuity of the universe
was restored.

FRIENDLY SUIT ON
 STEAM HEAT ISSUE
Commission Maintains an Agreement Made by Board of Aldermen
 Is Illegal

A friendly suit to determine the sta tus of the steam heat controversy be- tween the city commission and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will be instituted shortly by Commissioner James Weatherly.
 The steam heat controversy dates back to 1902, when a franchise was given the power company to operate steam heat plant with the provi- sion that the city should receive its steam heating free. Later the board of aldermen entered into a contract with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company whereby the city would pay for its steam heating.
 The city commission holds that this contract is illegal and in violation of the original franchise. The matter in- wolves about $14,000 for the city
 The steam heat matter was the only one discussed at the conference yes- terday morning between President J. s. Pevear and the city commission, as im- m ediately afterward the Clairmonr avenue matter started and took up the attention of the commissioners the re- mainder of the day.
 This morning at the conclusion of the Clairmont avenue paving matter the city commission will again confer with President Pevear and will at tempt to reach an agreement on the paving of Thirty-fourth street in Wy lam, the installing of tungsten lights and the refund of $7500 in alleged light overcharges.

Only two cases of typhoid fever were reported at the health department yes terday.
 Commissioner John R. Hornady re- garded this small number as a certain indication that the typhoid epidemic was over with and only preventive meas ures were necessary to put a stop to all typhoid cases in the community.
 With over 300 cases in the city at the present time,' said Commissioner Hornady, i've are bound to have one or two cases daily for awhile longer. And on some days when the hospitals report five or six cases may come in, but on the whole I look on the situation most enthusiastically and feel that the worst is over.
 But we must not get careless. The vaccinations must so on until everyone is vaccinated. The city commission is doing its share. The people must do theirs by getting vaccinated''

NOT GOOD EXCUSE
 FOR STREET TAX

Tc the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Forced on the city commission by the action of T. c. Mcdonald Is, I submit ar unjust way in which to allude to the ordinance assessing a street tax against the men of Birmingham; unjust to the one man who had the nerve and the foresight to point out to the municipal authorities the actual status of the city s finances, and to show them that they were sailing under false colors and mis- leading the people in an unlawful appro- priation of a specific fund over which they had no lawful control. Necessity for a street tax is not more pressing today than 1t was before the Mcdonald ex- posture.
 A just and righteous mind will accord to MT. Mcdonald the simple desire and purpose to furnish enlightenment as to the true financial status of Birmingham through the courts, and had he not done so the city would have been plunged into hopeless bankruptcy through the pro- posed s3,Ooo,OO0 additional bond issues. We were on the verge of the precipice when the hand of T. c. Mcdonald snatched us back from the abyss. He deserves thanks rather than censure, and time will prove it. Respectfully,

AMBROSIA PLACED IN

Seventy barrels of "Fehr's Am- brosia" was locked up in the county jail storage room yesterday under pro- visions of the prohibition law. The bev- craze was seized by Sheriff Batson and his deputies at the Louisville and Nashville freight house Wednesday afternoon.
 It took four loads to transfer the beverage from the freighthouse to the county jail and as there was not space in the regular booze vault" in the basement of the courthouse it was placed in the storage house connected with the county jail.
