Citizens Endorse Plan to
 Stop Speeding in CityI
Temporary Suspension of License and Deprivation of Use by Owner Are Plans Suggested-Police Authorities in Favor of Method-Twenty-nne Persons
 Killed and Many Injured Is Record

While many suggestions have been made as to ways of stopping reckless driving and speeding one suggested by Attorney Charles A. Calhoun has been indorsed by a number of promi- nent Birmin gham citizens. The plan proposed was to place fine" against the automobile rather than the driver when arrests were made for speeding or reckless driving, and to deprive the owner of the use of hfs-car for cer- tain number of days or weeks as the case may be. Others have suggested that the driver be deprived of his license for a period of ten days and this they are of the opinion will stop all speeding and reckless driving in this city.
 Last year twenty-nine people were killed by automobiles, according to the records in the coroner's office while a large number were injured by being struck. During the past few months many automobile accidents have been reported to police headquar- ters, it is stated, and this plan. if adopted, will in all probability largely decrease the number of accidents.
 Dr. Percy Woodah. president of the Rotary Club, said: We have tried oth- CT plans and they have failed to help the situation very much so l think the one suggested by Mir. Calhoun very good. Anyway we can try 1t. Many of the accidents are caused by ~drivers falling to comply with the dinner ordinance in my opinion and persons

CITY WILL TAKE
 NEW ORDINANCE
 TO HIGH COURTS
Say Whole Social Sanitary Structure Based on Legality of Holding
 Migrants for Examination

Notice of appeal to the court of ap- peals of Alabama was given yesterday by the city to uphold the legality of the ordinance permitting the detention and examination of persons suspected of hay- ing social diseases.
 George L. Bailes, assistant city att torney, stated that, if necessary the matter would be carried to the supreme court.
 The appeal came as result of a decision of Judge John c. Pugh in the chancery court holding that the re- corder of the city court had no right 10 deliver persons to Dr. ]. D. bowling city health officer, for examination pe- fore giving them a fair trial. Ihe decision was given in habeas corpus proceeding brought by.Dora Glass, who claims that she was unlawfully de- tained following her arrest Tor vagrancy.
 The health department will hold all persons now detained at the isolation hospital unless individual proceedings are brought for the release of each one. Information obtainable yesterday was to the effect that other petitions would be submitted to Judge Pugh for the release of patients of the hospital
 The contention of the city IS that authority for ahe present handling Of all vagrant and disorderly conduct eases is given both by the state health laws and by the city ordinance. The city ordinance was recently held to be constitutional In decision by Judge Hugh A. Locke of the chancery divi- sion of the circuit court.

 BAPTIST HOSPITAL Local Committee to Make Further Efforts to Secure
 Sites for Institution

Representatives Of Selma will be m Birmingham this week to follow up their proposition to the Baptist Hospital com mission for the location of that institu- tior in their city.
 When the location commission. of which Dr. J. R. Hobbs is chairman. asked for propositions of the cities de- sir.ng the hospital, Selma made the most definite offer, and later followed it up by a more liberal offer of & site and a cash bonus if the hospital was located in their city.
 Selma is the biggest rival of Birrning- ham in securing the institution, and the Selmians will come to Birmingham to follow up their offers with the location commission. This commission meets in Birmingham on July 26, and will begin an inspection tour of the cities who wish the hospital.

TWO HELD ON GRAND NY CHARGE

Charged with grand larceny and oper- atina business under false pretenses, Loo Fuerst, alias Rego Herzog, and Paul Altman, alias Charlie German, are being held in the city jail and city detectives have in their possession nearly 2'No worth of jewelry and dry goods which they claim the two men had fraudulentiy obtained.
 Fuerst and Altman were arrested by City Detectives w. l.. Brannon and Ed die Lyons yesterday afternoon at the Louisville and Nashville depot. When ar rested the two men had already bought tickets for Mobile.
 stigation of more than half dozen large trunks, which the detectives say are the property of the two men, showed them to contain more than $l 200 worth of uncut silk Two of the other trunks revealed about $500 worth of jewelry and several suits of clothes and other Iner- chandise.
 Immediately after their arrest, Detec- lives Brannon .and Lyons sent telegratns to more than half dozen cities. Less than two hours later an answer was re- ceived from the chief of police of Colum- bus. Ohio tosthe effect that the two men were wanted in that city for having iefs town with about s4.5o0 worth of jewelry' suits of clothes and many other kinds 9t merchandise that was not paid Tor
 About an hour after the first telegram was received. another came in at detec- five headauarters. It was from police officials at Dallas Texas, and was to tho effect that Leo Fuerst and Paul Altman were also wanted in that city for obtain ing nearly 5000 worth of merchandise under false pretenses.

found to be guilty of this offense should certainly be prosec uted."
 "The idea of depriving the driver of the use of his automobile for cer- tain period is a splendid one" said w. D. Nesbitt,s and I think it would be a great assistance in decreasing the nu- merous automobile accidents in this city California has tried this law and has been most successful with it. In my opinion Birmingham should try it out"
 "If the plan suggested is constitu- tional I am in favor of trying it." said pr. Courtney W. Shropshire president of International Civitan as well as the local Civitan Club. ITO fine a driver guilty of speeding does not cause him any inconvenience to speak of, yet if he was forced to give up his automo- bile for certain period. he would be careful not to exceed the speed limit and thus endanger the lives of pedes- trians.r
 Tn speaking of this plan, Frank Stevens stated that he thought the idea splendid and 1t together with the committee of citizens appointed by Commissioner John Taylor should do much to stop speeding and reckless driving Tt seems that thej city and coanty could in some way secure au- thority to deprive an owner of his automobile license if arrested for speeding" he declared land when put to this inconvenience fo ra period the same offense would not be committed again soon."

COAL PRODUCTION ON THE INCREASE Operators Taking on More Men Daily and Output
 Is Moving

Additional improvement is reported in the production of coal at mines where there have been strikes, and in the num- Der of men who have returned to wor,<.
 The operators have entered on de- termined campaign to operate their col lieries on the open shop basis and have taken definite steps to tnat end.
 Marvel mine of the Roden Coal Com pany was among the first of those tha. shut down on account of the strike to resume. This company posted notices Monday that 1t was going to resume op- erations on Tuesday and it did so on time. The company has perfected ar engagements to keej going ahead and expects to increase the force of workers daily.
 Some of the mines where strikes have aeen in vogue have called for more cars than they have been receiving.
 The receipt of domestic coal in the Birmingham market is larger than it has been and appears to be growing gradu- ally
 There has been no marked change in any one day but reports from the strk- ing section Is that of constant gain of ground over the strikers.
 All the operators are paying the scale of wages awarded by the bituminous coal commission, but stand against having union officials injected in the internal af- fairs of the mines, as is proposed by the strikers

LOCAL FINGER PRINT ].
 BUREAU COMPLETE.
Birmingham Bureau Clear ing House for ldentifi-
 fication of Criminals

Birmingham has the most complete and best equipped finger print bureau south of the national bureau in Wash ington according to those Informed on this subject.
 Under the supervision of H. B. Brown, finger print expert, the Birmingham bureau of identification has grown from small station to the best in the south, surpassing the ones at Atlanta and New Orleans
 There are on file In the office of the bureau on the fourth floor of the city hall over 5000 finger prints of local persons who were arrested on more or less serious charges, and more than 4.00o prints sent in. from outside sources. These prints are kept in fire proof vaults and form the absolute means of identification of those from whose fingers they were taken.
 Recently, through the efforts of Chief Tom Shirley and Mr Brown. the cooperation of many sheriffs and con stables throughout the state has made Birmingham the finger print clearing g house of the state, and make easy the Identification of criminals picked up all over the state.
 MT, Brown has been connected with the police department of several cities and served as a captain in the army during the world war. Before enter | ing the service he studied finger prints and finger print detection, until he is reco gnized as one of the best informe ed finger print experts in the south The reasons why finger prints are such sure means of Identification, MT Brown says, is that they never change Ifrom childhood to maturity, except to grow larger. and that there are no two alike in existence.
 At a recent convention of the police
 chiefs at Detroit the heads of the po- lice departments from all large cities in the country were in favor of gettin 2 and filing the prints of every person in the country as means of identifica- i tion. This would do away with un-
 known deaths unidentified bodies and escaped criminals.

BANQUETS POPULAR
 FEATURE AT HOTELS

Despite the prediction that prohibition would spell the death knell of banquet ing, Birmingham people are more and more inclined to gather around the festal board, according to the managers of local hotels which specialize in banquets.
 There was a time, say hotel men, when the wine cup was considered a necessary adjunct of the banquet table. This con dition has now changed
 Another reason assigned for the popu- arity of dining out is the scarcity Of domestic servants. However. the banquet feature was popularized during the war. Leaders of Liberty Loan drives and other war work soon learned that the way to a mans pocketbook was to gather around the banquet table.
 Figures furnished by the managers or noted hotel for it's banquet feature shows that an average of three banquets day or over 1000 banquets per year, are given If the records of other hotels were included, it would be found that Birmingham has thousands of banque.s each year.
 The banquets are of every description ranging from political or civic gather ing to a tea party. All drives. cam paigns and conventions, as rule. open or close with big festal gathering. Weddings. dinners, luncheons. supper dances and tea parties come in the cate gory of banqutts.
 The increase in hanquets has made i necessary for some of the leading hotels of the city to maintain elaborate organ izations for service. The musical ana decorative ends of ban1uets and lunch. cons must be looked after. In addition a large waiting staff is maintained. Ad. ditional service is also needed to work oui menus and to arrange dates for the var. ous gatherings.
