POLICE HANDS OFF IN
 SALE 0F AMBROS|A
About $200 a Month Spent in Buying Evidence" in
 Liquor Violations

Ambrosia-whatever that is-can be sold in Birmingham without interference by the police minions of Commissioner Arlie Barber. On this important question the socialist member of the city commission said:
 T am hands off in the prohibition of the sale of ambrosia and other soft drinks when 1t is proved that they do not contain intoxicants. I believe that the only req son for arresting any of these persons has been from the belief that the sale of these drinks was being used blind for the sale of real intoxicants.'
 Investigation of the activities of the purity squad of the police department in dicated that the purchase of '"evidence" is proving costly to the city treasury. About $7O was expended by officers in buying liquors last week for use as evil dence, and the average expenditure is about $200 a month.
 James Davis, assistant solicitor. is of the opinion that the injunction granted l.. w. Seville last week in the city court does not restrain officers from making arrests or seizing beverages of the na- ture of "ambrosia'' until the supreme court has ruled upon it. There is no law whereby an officer can be enjoined from enforcing criminal statute,' said Mr. Davis, until that law has been de- clared void. see nothing to prevent further seizure and arrests for selling the beverage"

STRONG COMMITTEE
 WILL MAKE FIGHT FOR FEDERAL BANK
Oscar Wells Is Named as Chairman of Committee to Start Campaign to Se-
 cure Farm Loan Bank

That Birmingham is in earnest in her efforts to secure for this city one of the federal farm loan banks and that the strongest possible campaign is to be con- ducted in her behalf was indicated yes- terday when Oscar Wells, president of the First National bank accepted the appoint ment as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce committee in charge of this work. The acceptance of MT. Wells for this important assignment was announced after President Bush had personally re- quested him to lead the fight for the bank
 To aid MT. Wells in handling the case of Birmingham, the strongest possible com mittee was named. The members who will assist him are w. w. Crawford, Tom O. Smith, John H. Frye, Leo K Steiner, Harry W. Coffin, Crawford Johnson, Sterling A. Wood, George Gordon Craw- ford, J. w. Mcqueen, E. W. Barrett, " H. Hanson, James J. Smith and Robert Jemison, Jr
 Work is to begin at once in preparing the data showing why Birmingham should receive this bank and everything will be ready for presenting the arguments of this city when the commission which is to locate these banks is appointed. Much encouragement has already been given Birmingham by the promises of support from cities throughout this section, and the officers of the Chamber of Commerce are very much encouraged over the out | look

TYPHOID FEVER
 CRISIS IS PASSED
 SAYS DR. GASTON
Cases Diminish, But City Authorities Urge Com pletement of Vaccine
 Treatment

Only about 10 cases of typhoid fever were reported for the last 4s hours at the health department and City Health Officer pr. Cecil D. Gaston now re- gards the crisis in the present epi- demic as passed. The number of ty- phoid cases from now on, asserts pr. Gaston, will diminish from day to day.
 Commissioner of Health and Educa- tion John R. Hornady stated yesterday that the free vaccination of the chill dren and adults of the city was pro- ceeding at great rate and that the third dose" would be administered; on Wednesday. He urge that all who had started the treatment should complete 1t. as neither the first nor the second shots" gave imunity from typhoid fe- yer.
 Everyone who has started the vac cination, said Commissioner Hornady, should complete the treatment The first and second shots will not make you immune to typhoid fever and therefore it Is imperative that the third dose be taken. AS the city is paying all the expenses the citizens should co-opeTdte to tHe eAIoHt to uo OH lhd' is possible to make the preventive treatment a complete success"
 The state and federal typhoid ex- perts are still in the city and will remain for several days planning 8 new system of sanitation for the city It is understood that on an inspection tour of the sanitary sewers last Fri day they were found to be in bad con. dition owing to the heavy storms.

|CE CREAM LAW AND NEW STREET TAX ARE
 SCHEDULED TODAY
No Action Expected by the Commission Today in Further Cuts
 Planned

A busy session of the city commits sion is scheduled for today.
 One of the principal matters that will come tup for consideration and for a vote will be the ice cream ordinance manufacturers and sale of ice cream In Birmingham.
 Commissioner of Health and Educa- tion John R. Hornady is the author of the ice cream ordinance and will lead the fight for it's passage before the commissioners today. The principal ob- lection to the ordinance is the claim that it will drive the smaller manufac- turers of ice cream out of business.
 The ordinance makes it unlawful for manufacturers of ice cream to neglect to report the illness of any of their employees to the health department. This section of the law also applies to soda fountains and ice cream par lors.
 Another important section requires the pasteurization of all milk used in the making of ice cream. The smaller manufacturers of ice cream are going to object to this section of the pro- posed law on the grounds that 1t will drive them out of business.
 It Is understood that every member of the city commission will favor the passage of the ordinance, because of the fact that 1t has been indorsed by the health department the board of health and the visiting federal and state typhoid experts
 Another ordinance that will be in- troduced today is the street tax meas ure. It is likely that this. ordinance will be brought up by City Attorney M. M. Ullman and no commissioner will take any credit for its passage, all though the entire city commission will favor the measure. The street tax or dinance will call for street tax of $2.50 for the remainder of the year and for $5 per annum after that period It will affect all males between the ages of 21 and 45 years.
 Regarding economies such as the re- ducing of the force of the police and fire departments, 1t is not likely that there will be any action this morning. Another conference is scheduled on the partments of the city within the next few days and nothing will be done un- til the commissioners have decided in an executive session on the various economies proposed. However, in the meanwhile, employees at the city hall and in other civic departments are liv- ing in fear of reduced salaries and some of losing their jobs entirely. z
 All other matters before the city commission today will be of routine nature.

JULY WILL SKATER
 ALL LOCAL RECORDS . FOR B|G RA|NFA ALL
More Than Half Inch of Water Fell Within Five Minutes Yesterday
 Morning

With little more than half the month gone, all records for rainfall for any one month in the history of Birmingham have already been broken, with several inches to spare. And the end is not yet in sight, Mir. Horton. the government weather ob- server, announced last night that contin- ued unsettled weather was probable for some days with local showers from time to time. However, he was of the opinion that there would be no more general rains in the immediate future.
 Birmingham. which has grown accus- toned to record rainfalls within the past 10 days or more was given another shock early yesterday morning, when .55 inch fell here within five minutes, between 3.53 a. m. and 3:5S a. m., and more than 1.5O inches fell in less than an hour prior to 4:3O o'clock. During the 12 hours from z o'clock Sunday night until the same hour yesterday morning, PSI inches fell, which Is not so bad, even In the present month.
 Considerable damage was done by the heavy downpour yesterday morning and an electric storm added to the uneasiness caused in many sections by the rapid rise Of the water. In many or the lower placeS around the city the water was 10 feet deep. and but for the fact that the rainfall soon ceased and the floods rapidly receded. scenes similar to those of 10 days ago would have been re-enacted. As it was, the water rose to a depth of two to four feet in many houses In the low sections of the city and suburbs and the sewers in the, downtown section were unable for time to empty the streets.
 Car traffic on many lines was held up for 90 minutes or more on the early morning runs, in some places the water being from two to four feet over the tracks Considerable damage was done to the streets and roads.
 Up to yesterday the rainfall for the month, but little more than half gone, was 18 33 inches, which is the greatest by several inches in the history of the city for any full month and far in excess of any similar length of time. The nearest approach to this record was in June, 1882, when the month showed 14.4. With the prediction of continued unsettled condi- tions and intermittent showers, it seems certain that more than 20 inches of rain fall will be recorded during the month. The average fall for July is about 4.7O inches.
