COAL CONSERVATION
 BY CITIZENS URGED BY GOVERNMENT N I

The Jefferson county fuel board has
 been requested by the government to
 urge the people to conserve coal in
 every possible way. A pamphlet is-
 sued by the government says:
 The war has created a demand upon
 the United States for one hundred
 million extra tons of coal this year.
 Although fifty million tons more coal
 is being mined in the United States
 this year than ever before. yet the
 increased production will not supply
 more than half of the increased de- mand. The remaining fifty million tons needed to support war activities and to keep our people warm will
 have to be saved shovelful by shovel
 full through patriotic care in Ameri-
 can factories and homes.
 The army cantonments must be heat ed. The intuition factories must be maintained at full steam. The battle ships must be coaled. The public util- tiles must be adequately supplied with fuel The homes of the people must be maintained at healthful tempera- ture. The proper accomplishment or these things requires more coal than can be produced, Stretching the avail able amuont through conservation is the only solution of the problem. According to the government esti- mates there are 3,553,63 100000 tons | of unmined coal in the United States | There is shortage in transportation | facilities, as well as labor shortaSe and the people, especially the house. | wives of this country, ought to con- serve fuel as a patriotic duty, by l l.

The strangest old caravan ever seen is driving around Birmingham this
 week. Yesterday it came out of the
 in the pioneer time of Americas far
 west, and paraded around Birmingham. It is the 20-mule borax team from
 Death Valley, driven by "Borax Bill" with a jerkline The cavalcade is l16 feet long and the wagons are each T. feet high, IS feet long with hind wheels
 eight feet high. It is the last of it's kind on earth.
 The old desert caravan will be going for four years. 'Borax Bill" who drives with jerkline, has in his west ern crew Tarantula Pete, whom some call the Boy Orator of the Panamints. five swampers, who take care of the mules Six more western boys take care of the contents of the wagons and help to keep the inquisitive away from the easily agitated hind hoofs of the big strong Being desert bred animals and not familiar with the social usages ot large cities, care is taken to prevent playful tickling or undue familiartfes on the part of the curious, because of the hair-trigger arrangement in the mules hind pedals.
 So far it is true, no one has been hurt. but it has occurred a couple of times that the oddly humorous who poke ev- erything with canes or examine the reached tails of these big animals have viewed with surprise the blue sky to see where the bomb dropped from. 1rilsy, the lead mule, often spoken of as the brains of the outfit is as tame

POLICE NOTES

One of the busiest days in many weeks was seen at the city jail yester- day. During the whole day 52 arrests were made, 47 of these being after s:15 p. m.
 Five violations of the prohibition laws were recorded, those charged with this offense being Mrs Fred Con- rader: Joe Rush, negro: Johnnie Ward, negro: Catherine Brown, negro woman, and Ben Benson, negro. Benson also has charge of disorderly conduct to his credit.
 The special cases seemed to be those who couldn't resist the lure of the little worries. Twenty-seven negroes were lodged in the city's bastile to answer to this charge. The majority of the cases were not of any severe breach of the law. Several were ar- rested for vagrancy, carrying con cealed weapons and other charges.
 The entire force was kept on the move during the entire night. Over 45 quarts of whisky were captured du- ring the nights work
 Three negroes were arrested early this mourning on a charge of larceny oc money. A raid was made on a house on the corner of Third avenue l and Twenty fourth street in answer to a call by a negro man who stated that he had had $14S0 stolen iron, him by inmates of the house The accused negroes were arrested shortly afterwards. They claimed that the negro who put in the call robbed them.

GILMORE DENIED BAIL AT HAbEAS
 CORPUS HEARING
Judge Ferguson Refused Liberty to Slayer of Off, cer Sims-Self-Defense
 is Claimed

Arthur M. Gilmore. indicted for murder In connection with the killing of Police man Sims at the Vandiver residence in this city a few weeks ago, was yester- day afternoon denied bail by Judge C. w. Ferguson in the criminal division of the circuit court at the conclusion of the nabeas corpus proceedings instituted by his attorney, Hugh H. Ellis. The trial occupied the entire morning and after noon of the court, during which time many witnesses were examined.
 The defense made no denial of the states contention that Gilmore shot Off, Ger Sims, but sought to establish self defense, or rather that the defendant believed he was acting in self-defense, not knowing MT. Sims to be an officer
 Among the witnesses called were De- tective Ryan, who gave testimony that the dead officer identified Gilmore as the one who shot his and thta the defend- ant snapped his pistol in his face sev- eral times after he had fallen wounded.
 In his effort to establish self-defense on the part of his client Attorney Ellis asked the court to require Solicitor Da- Wis to produce a certain paper, purport- ing to be a statement made by Gilmore Here lively legal tilt was witnessed Solicitor Davis demanding that the de- Tense first prove that this paper con tained statements which would tend to t5hoW or prove self-defense. The court finally sustained the objection of Solicit tor Davis.
 Sitting with Gilmore throughout the trial was his mother and his young wife The young wife listened attentively to the testimony. making notes and con sulting frequently with her husband and his attorney.
 Attorneys interested in John Hall and Lively Vandiver who are also alleged to have been implicated in the murder, were present and took part in the examina- tion of witnesses.
 Hall and Vandiver were brought from the penitentiary Friday and placed in the county jail to be used as witnesses during the trial. These two men were serving a parole granted them some months ago by the governor when Off cer Sims was killed and, at the instiga- ton of officials. their paroles were re- voked. An indictment was returned against Vandiver by the grand jury Fri day, charging him with murder
