take command OF his troop of twenty
boys, ranging in age from eight to
twelve years.
About two months ago Jack, believ-
ing the boys of the -feighborhood
could be using their time to better
advantage on Saturdays, proposed or
ganizing the troop. He called a meet

over.
The resolution adopted was unani-

feasible since in the group was 1rv-

and, equipped with these, the young

setback, a damper on the spirit of

friendly to the troop, and an interested
observer at some of the drills, told the
boys they would better not drill with
air rifles, lest suspicion of shooting
birds fall upon them. The wisdom Of
this was Immediately seen by the boys,
but OF course none Of them had shot at
birds.
Now Boy Scout staffs are used in

Captain Jack. who has Roy DOlph as a

we are going to offer our services to

CITY CAUST|C IN
 T|DEWATER BRIEF Charges Railway Company Committed Fraud and Also Raises Question
 About Franchise

The city of Birmingham charges, in the brief filed in the federal court yesterday afternoon, seeking to prevent the sale of the Tidewater to the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company, that the Tidewater, in issuing bonds in excess of s1 100000. was guilty of a fraud.
 The brief is decidedly caustic in it's context. After declaring that the is- suance of bonds in excess of S1,000,G GOO was a fraud, and was done for the pur- pose of making it possible to sell to the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, the city asks that the Tide water be required to submit to an audit of its books.
 That the Tidewater has no franchise to operate a street railway but as an inter urban railway is another contention of the city. It declares that the original grant was for an interurban line from Gadsden to Tuscaloosa and that, inas- much as these plans have not been car ried out the Tidewater has forfeited It's franchise.
 The other contentious are that the whole operation of the Tidewater and it's subsequent bankruptcy were a part of the scheme to have it absorbed by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. It maintains that if the court should order another sale. a purchaser would be found willing to pay more than the Birmingham traction company of fered.
 Judge W. L arubb will hear the casa Monday.

 Captain Albert B. Kaemper, assis- tant mastering officer of the Alabama National Guard, and Maj. c. c. Scherer, quartermas arrived late last night from Montgomery to prepare for the coming of the Birmingham batteries and for mastering them out
 The orders to these two officials, which were not received by them from the war department until late yester- day, effectually put at rest all doubt regarding the place where the troops would be mustered out. For some time, these officials have been en- gagged in preparing for the muster ing out in Montgomery, orders to that effect issued several weeks ago not having been received until yesterday,
 However, the war department had assured members of the Alabama con gressional delegation that the batter ies would be brought back to Bir-
