Nothing has happened in Birmingham for the past few years which is so much regretted as the announcement that the railroads intend to eliminate the 'trave- lers' aid from the Terminal station here, said Mrs. W. H. Warrington captain of the Red Cross Sunday can teen.
 During my work with the canteen I have been in position to see what the Travellers Aid means to this city,, Mrs. Worthington continued. and the necessity of such an organization. It is pitiful that such a magnificent work must be brought to a close, especially at this time, and 1t seems to me that the railroads could certainly strain CD point with all their wealth and influ- -ence to continue a service which is of the utmost importance and value Co Bir- minsham."
 Mrs. Walpole and her assistants have done the most beautiful Christian work in this city" Mrs. Worthington said They have aided many a poor, unpro- tected girl; they have helped many an aged person, and they have cared for many little baby who otherwise would have had no attention from anybody. So how can the railroads say that they will discontinue this work?

CLOVER KILLED IN PISTOL DUEL WITH DEPUTY SHER||FFS While Searching for Illicit Stills in Sayre District
 Officers Engage
 in Duel

In a pistol duel between Deputies Mar shal Smith and U. Jones of the sheriff s forces and Wiley Glover, aged 45. of the Sayre district, whom the officers allege was engaged in the manufacture of whis key, Glover was shot through the stom ach and killed early yesterday morning. X shot from the pistol of Officer Jones is thou~ht to have been the cause of death, having been fired, the officers state, after Glover had shot twice at Officer Smith.
 Recently the officers were warned not to invade the above district, which is on the Little Warrior river, in their quest for whiskey and illicit stills, but this did not deter Officers Smith. Jones, White and Sam Arnett from making search Sunday night. While walking in the woods where they thought stills were To- cated Officers Smith and Jones met Glov- CT, according to their statement. They ordered him to halt, which he refused tc do few words passed, the officers as- sert when Glover pulled pistol anc fired twice They returned the fire and following the report of Officer Jones gur Glover fell upon the ground, fatally wounded The officers picked him up carried him to house ana procureo medical aid, but he died at o'clock yesterday morning.
 L. F. Felton, q discharged overseas sol 5ier, who was not engaged in the shoot ing, but who. it is alleged, was with Glover, was arrested on charge of vio- ls ting the prohibition laws and brought to the county jail shortly before o'clock yesterday morning and was released on bond.
 The officers stated last night that they found 19 still supplements in the dis trict before they encountered Glover They added that they had received warn ing that it would be best for them tc stay out of the district. Officer Jones' according to his statement, was warned again Sunday morning and Sunday night the raid was planned.

TRUCKMEN DONOT WANT T0BE MOVED ID THE V|ADUCT Claim the City Wants Them to Have Stalls on the Slippery CreOsOted
 Blocks
Statement, May F. 1919. RES0IRCE
By JOHN c. MOSES.

The truckmen of the Birmingham district have a kick to make.
 And I'm with them in the fight be- ing made to change their selling place from First avenue, between Twenty first and Twenty y-second streets to the new Rainbow viaduct.
 They were originally stuck away un- der the old viaduct in a dirty section. where it was unfit for a woman to go and buy fresh greensuff Later Com missioner Barber measured off spaces on the above mentioned streets, and since then the marketmen who sell di- rect from wagons have been satisfied.
 I am now told by these men who help to cut the cost of living by eliminating g the middle man that an effort has been launched to place them on the viaduct
 In the first place, it is inconyenient and will be more or less dangerous with country-raised horses lined up on both sides with whirling aueomo- piles passing between the string oi wagons
 But the greatest danger will be from the slippery creosoted blocks covering this viaduct. When these blocks are new f(and for a year or so afterward) an oily substance oozes from the blocks, which make them slippery for horses. And after rain it is almost impossible for an animal to keep on his feet. Especially is this so with the farm animal, which in many cases Is not shod and it is almost impossible for them to get toe hold.
 And after or during a rain 1t will be dangerous to back team up to the curb on the viaduct, as the animals feet will go from beneath them
 Only yesterday, during the shower, ] witnessed two heavy falls on the street one being horse attached to a dray on which I was riding to the freight house. And this horse had on claw shoes at that.
 It takes all the confidence out oi an animal to be worked and driven on these blocks, and with the sharp inclines at both approaches of the via duct, it seems to me the city commits sioners will be doing these truckmen an injustice if they force them on this highway. They willingly pay $2 per month for their location on First ave- nue. so why not let them alone?
 What we really need is a market house. as all metropolitan cities need where both seller and buyer can be in out of the weather. These fellows from the country tell me they have few friends in town to help them in theil fight, but as I spent two years raising truck and marketing it under difficulty it's only right and proper that I place the situation in the right light.
 If anyone doubts the danger of these ing on a damp or rainy day and watch the dumb animals carefully pick their footing as a human would do with the streets a sheet of ice.
 Let's keep this market place where 1t is

ONLY s34, 4,OOO SUBSCRIBED

Approximately $34,OOO has thus Tar been turned in as the result of the canvass up to Monday night and much work still remains to be done if Birmingham is to reach anywhere near it's goal.
 Still more workers are needed to aid in the canvass, and it is admitted by the leaders that this lack of workers and canvassers is chiefly responsible for the comparatively poor results shown thus far in the campaign.
 ssIt is clear to us that there are many who are ready and willing to contribute to this Salvation Army home service fund campaign" said City Chairman James J.. Jackson Monday night.
 "In view of the shortage of workers and the many other matters which have occupied their attention and still are mak- ing calls on all generous citizens, it is therefore of utmost importance that all who wish to contribute bring or send their contributions to headquarters with out further delay and thus encourage those who have so faithfully worked to make this campaign success.
 Zone Director Ben I. Rapport is espe- cially pronounced in his praise of the women workers and declares that they were the backbone of the canvass and that the larger share of the credit of what has been accomplished is due to their work.
 NOT A CASE OF CHARITY
 'sThis is not case of charity" said one campaign executive. sIt is an in- vestment The better people we have the better class of employees the large cor porations will have to draw from These concerns, or many of them. claim to be interested in the building of character in their communities. If this is a fact, now is a mighty good time to prove it..
 The Columbus, Miss, zone could get up little faster pace without any seri- ous injury to anyone. The Dothan zone hasn't burned up the track yet, but is coming along very well. Houston county is over the top. Henry county hasn't as yet made it's report
 New Orleans is evidently up against probelm. A little more than $22.00O has been raised there. That's a long way from the quota, but they say they'll get it. Members of the American Legion, 100 strong, will take the field there Monday morning and expect to mop up in whirlwind campaign.
 The Pensacola zone is dragging along without any apparent reason. Pensacola says she's going over but somebody's got to get busy if she does.
 The Vicksburg zone is over and still getting the coin Also the Decatur zone.
 The Montgomery zone is looking better. Montgomery proper is over the top, and is now out to beat Birmingham.
