GAMBLERS SCORED
 BY JUDGE FORT IN
 GRAND JURY CHARGE
Enforcement of Prohibition Law and Indictment of Profiteers Are Urged
 ByJurist In Charge

Asserting that the professional gamb7 Ter and the bootlegger were menace to society. and that the strictest enforce nent of the law was necessary to keep
 down thc,r evil practices. Judge William F. Fort severely arraigned this class of lawbreakers in his charge to the grand jury organized yesterday for the January term of court
 Tt has come to my Knowledge stated Judge Fort, that there are in operation in Birmingham gambling houses, while there are said to be number of the oN- time gamblers who have returned to Birmingham. who are infesting the pool rooms and other places of public gather ing.
 These men. stated Judge Fort, are a menace to society. and where an in- dictlnent is returned against any of them am going to impose if a conviction is. had. a severe penalty"
 Enforcement of the law in regard to prohibition violators was another thing. which Judge Fort stressed to the grand jury
 "Violation of the prohibition law in Je<- ferson county is greater I believe than m any county of similar size, but l also be- lieve the sentiment against the violators is as great here in this county as any other part of the country.
 Much trouble is resulting fro mrhe traffic in liquor," stated Judge Fort to the grand jury, and it is your duty to see that none of the violators escape. The people of the. county are coming to realize the necessity of putting down tais class of law breakers. and believe the sentiment against the 0ootleggers ard others who violate the prohibition law IS greater at this time than ever before
 Profiteering was alos stressed as a great evil by Judge Fort. and he asssed the grand jury to indict wherever they found that dealers were boosting the price of living beyond a reasonable limit,
 The various feIonies were mentioned by Judge Fort in the charge and prln- cipally cases of vagrancy where the of- fender is also found to have concealed weapon. This class of criminals is dfl- gerous to a community, stated Judge Fort and the practice should be stopped

place had been burglarzed some tune back he and his friends wen' out ana found the stolen merchandise hidden in a field and immediately notified the sheriff's office. Two men came out according to Mir. Turner and remalnel in hiding near the stolen property, knowing tlat the thieves would return for it. These officers, however, get tired of waiting. moved the hidden stuff into the yard Of a nearby friend and went on back to town.

FAIR PRICE BOARD AGAIN RULES ON
 COFFEE AND MILK
Five to Seven Cents Held Profitable Price and Or der Must Be Obeyed.
 Protests Heard

Restaurant and soda fountain proprie- tors must not charge more than cents for a cup of coffee or glass of milk, ac- cordng to ruling of the fair price Loard at it's meeting yesterday after noon in the directors room of the cham Der of commerce.
 The board was unanimous in this de- osion after deliberate consideration and after the various proprietors in this city interested in the matter had talked to them regarding the price being charged
 Several weeks ago the board ruled that , to ' cents was a fair price to be charged for these beverages, but on petition of the restaurant and soda fountain proprietors held the meeting yesterday so they might appear and give reasons why they should be allowed to charge 10 cents,
 Each proprietor was given an oppor- tunity to present his case, but they were unable to convince the board that they would lose money by charging from to : cents. the former for places with small overhead expense and the latter Tor those having more expense. It is state tHdC 1nlS ueCiSlOu is Athoi otfb tshA fAN rrietors will be required to conform tt this ruling
 In speaking. of the boards decisloa Frank Spain. chairman. stated:
 'We call upon every cafe and restaur- ant man to support the board in this ac- ton. We are informed that few pro prietors have disregarded the former ac- ton of the board because they were nc, officially advised of it. Please say to them that the publication of this not~e must operate as notice to the public ano to the proprietors that to [ cents IS a fair price for coffee and sweet milk. the lower price to be charged by those pro nrietors who have lower operating eX- penses and the higher price being allowed to those whose expenses are greater.
 We think that this decision IS very in,oortaut one It seems that from six to rine people out of every ten drink eof- fee with their meals. and the average meal ticket would be not more than i' cents in the downtown cafes. FIhe poaro feels that under these circumstances the difference of few cents in the price oi coffee is very neary as important as the difference of few cents in carfare- that it comes ill the class or pupiie service.
 .On the other hand it is clearly estap- lished that the prices fixed VIII aiio" q fair margin of profit and all persons serving coffee and milk will be expected to abide by these prices without any further notice"

DRY CAMPA|G IN STATE POSTPONED
 UNTIL LATER DATE
Insufficient Number of Or ganizers to Handle Cam paign In All States at
 Once, Says Dr. Baker

The Anti-Saloon league campaign in behalf of national and worldwide pro- nibition has been postponed so far as Alabama is concerned.
 This announcement was made yester- day in joint statement from pr P. A., Baker. general superintendent of the Anti-saloon League of America and Brooks Lawrence. superintendent ir Ala bama.
 The statement explained that owing to delays in the organization in Alabama, brought about by the work in the other states. there had not bee" sufficient time to organize Alabama properly. The de- cision to postpone the campaign Ill Nh hama will not effect the work in the other six states in the southeastern diVi- sion. and the organization formed here will be transfer d intact to another field
 The campaign in Alabama will be car ried to completion later when the appeal
 is to be maGe thr oughout the country
 The statement from the Antl-Saloon league is as follo vs:
 When the drive to raise S,O0.Wo was decided upon in these eight southeastern states as their part of the proposed S@,- 0000oa which the budget provides for in the entire country for national and world wide prohibition there was doubt as 10 whether there would be sufficient time to perfect an organization that would insure success i1 all the states selected
 towing to the limited force of aVaila- hle workers, Alabama was month be- hind the other states in getting started In view of this handicap it has been de cided by those in charge to postpone the work in Alabama until later when the drive is to be out in the balance of the country Meanwhile the organization that has been begun here will be carried forward to completion.
 "The workers now in the field in Ala bgama wjn b, transferred to the other states where their services are greatly needed.
 In announcing the postponement Of the campaign, Df Baker took occasion to pay warm tribute to ]. IT, Winans. state director of tn campaign, and ]. M Hal pren. his associate.
 'NTr. Winans and MT Halpren have done extraordinary work, he said. Their organization was being perfected rapidly and along excellent lines. Their work has met with the enthusiastic ap- | proval of the officers of the campaign and the decision to postpone the actual l canvass could in no way reflect on them. 1 Dr. Baker said that all citizens of Ala 1 hama who ha,e accen'e1 a"n0i"tme"''' '''

 MT. Josselyn comes to Birmingham with a most liberal education and long experience in library work, having started in a small library in the town where he attended preparatory school, where he served under Professor Woodman. who is we'll known to the profession.
 l Before going to Florida, for two years he was in Chicago, where he or. ganized and built up the University library of that city.
 During his stay in Jacksonville he and the libray were great factors in the community life, as well as school. buSpess and industrial fields, and it is said that nowhere in the south is there a better collection of books
 He was an active member of the Rotary club, being it's club correspond ent. director and acting secretary of the Florida University club, member of the Alumni association of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. Florida Outing club, as well as the chamber of com merce.
 During the war MT. Josselyn was f,, r Camp Johnston and also supervisor of the libraries at the aviation camps of Miami, Key West and Pensacola, which . have the reputation of being the best organized during the war.
 NIT. Josselyn was accompanied to F Birmingh by his wife and two lit tie daughters. Mrs. Josselyn is her self trained library worker and will be an addition to Birmingham social life
 Tn speaking of hia work, MT. Jos selyn said: Outside of my library work. I have two hobbies. breeding of thoroughbred cattle and growing roses. Before We came to Alabama we really did own a small herd of regis tered Holsteins and grew over 20 va rieties of prize-winning roses T believe that Birmingham fs the greatest city in the south Nowhere in the south is there q city with such  wonderful resources and nowhere is there a greater need and greater op- portunities for the development of the library. Such a great industrial city must have a most complete technical | library for the use of the artisa rs There must also be recreational ana ! cultural. educational and Americaniza- ton books that the people may become better citizens.
 This city. climbing to the half mil
