 New Regalia

Some live tailor is going to get an crder for 40 suits of clothes within the next few days Chief T. J, Shirley of the Birmingham police department feels spring in the air and wants to see his boys look smart in their new suits.
 Just what the final design will De in the summer garb of the fellows who keep Birmingham in the straight any narrow path. the chief is not yet reaoy to say, but he thinks it time to nave some change in the summer uniform and is going to take that phase of the question up with John H. Taylor com missioner of the police and fire de- partments.
 Not to be outdone by the Jaw infcrc- CTS. the rumor erept around thescity hall yesterday that Chief $. A. Middle ton, who, by the way, is a decendant t of Arthur Middleton of South Carolina. enc of the signers Of the Declaration of Independence, was going to have his flame jockeys all rigged out in sum : mer stuff. too.
 So instead of 140 new uniforms, some smart tailor is going. maybe, to get an order for somewhere around 5OO suits of summer serge At $i0 profit, at a minnu. per suit, that would be a commission on tile job of about sS, GOO. which, in this day and time it is said. few dyed in-the wool taflors would scorn.

Influenza Situation
 No Cause for Alarm

Although more than a hundred new cases of influenza were reported yes- terday, the city authorities feel in no wise alarmed. There has been a recur- renee of wet weather for one thing and the ma lady is prone to show freakish losses and gains without apparent req son.
 Should the increase continue from day to day in the same properties of new cases reported. ~s shown in the gain of yesterday over Monday. then the authorities would feel some cause for worry. There were no new cases of pneumonia reported yesterday and no reports of deaths from influenza reached the city hall.

 By o'clock in the afternoon the ques-
 ton and it's entailed arguments had
 cached out into the street, and like smoke from a factory chimney, the old dark cloud was again settling over the city, dividing brother against brothci
 and house against house, and there were
 no places to go where one could rest the right foot on the brass and wash away the heat of such arguments. And finally it all simmered down to a dead parallel of the first sentence Of the Englishmans letter, to-wit, 1. C., that IS, as follows:
 1 "The public is in q state of bewilder-
 ment as to the real reception of prohipl-
 tion in the United States"

BurrusS is Inc only person that has mentioned the word 'indict' Unless the grand jury purposes to indict. punish or compel somebody to improve the condition of the streets. then all of this talk. travel and picture taking Is futile, void and childish.
 'sThe statement is confession Of conscious folly and m acknowl- edEment that the grand jury has exceeded the bounds of its jurisdic- tion. legal propriety and common public decency. | am glad the dis tInguishcd solicitor begins to sec himself as others sec him.
