THE DEFENSE MOVES

MT. Murphy cited law giving the opinion of Judge Bickell in similar case, and al sked that the defendant be discharged

NO RELIEF POSSIBLE

Commissioner Burruss stated that he had heard many complaints of the sew CTS, and said that there can be no real relief until better and adequate sys- tenn is installed; that the shortcomings in evidence now must be borne in pa tience.
 sThe sewers are defective and arc very Inadequate and Jesus Christ Him. self could not give relief unless He should change natural laws that gov ern water." the commissioner said.
 "rhe system is lower in some places than others. The water naturally backs up in the lower places. We frequently attempted to patch it up in places only to see that the trouble breaks out in others. There is absolutely no way to prevent it with our system. We are short of funds and our bonds nre not saIable at present.
 q can give no help; this department can give none, and the city commission or any one else cannot remedy the s't- uatiOn There is but one thing that must he done. Birmingham must have n new, modern and adequate system of af0 sewerS.@

REFERS TO WAR

It is understood that it will require many hundred thousands of dollars and several years to install new system that would be satisfactory.
 Commissioner Burruss said that the present is not the time in which to car ry out great improvements.
 "We are just out of war. It is a period of reconstruction. Materials are very high and will continue so for consid- erable length of time. Bonds are not saleable In a years time matters will be changed and the prospects for bet ter conditions will be brighter.
 "T have found that 90 per cent of the people of Birmingham are the most pa tient people l have ever known When we explain to them that we are out or funds. that the sewers are inadequate, that we cannot build another system at present and cannot do anything else that will really remedy the situation, they accept the facts and patiently await the better day.

Angered because Benny Leonard,

him in a titular decision contest, and
bitter because Leonard will not ac-
cept one of his repeated challenges,

Charlie has instructed Nate Lewis,

Willard has trained off another pound.
Now the Big Tn scales q trif1e over

Promoter Richard heaved a sigh OF
relief when he heard that Willard is
having no trouble getting rid of his
surplus flesh. Tex is certain that in
five months Jess will be able to get
down to 249 pounds.
Rickard announced that as soor
as he had concluded arrangements
with Big Jess, the latter stopped

Whitley Witt of the Mackmen is
slated to be an outfielder when he re-
turns to the club. Mack is satisfied
to string along witc Joe Dugan at

Mordecai Brown, veteran pitcher Of
three finger game, probably will be
lost to baseball. Brown, who assisted
Joe Tinker in the management of the
Columbus American Association club
last season, is SO well satisfied with
his position with an Indianapolis con-
Germ that he intends to quit the game.
For years Brown was a star with the
Chicago Nationals.
Tommy Quinlan, outfelder who was
badly wounded on the morning of the
signing of the armistice and who still
is lying in a hospital in Paris, will
have a job in baseball regardless of
the fact he has lost one leg and one
eye, and has one arm badly shot up.
Joe Tinker, boss of the Columbus
club, announced recently that Quinlan
will be offered a position with the Co
lumbus club, where he was playing
when called into service. Previously
he had played two or three years with
Salt Lake and for part of 1915 was
with the Chicago White Sox Last
spring he was bought from Salt Lake
by Columbus but left for the army
after a few games.
