SHERIFF DENIED
 EXTRA DEPUTIES
Asked for Additions to Police Celebrations, But Rev.
 enue Board Refuses

Request of Sheriff J. c. Hartsfield for additional special deputies to aid his regular force in policing various Christmas gatherings throughout the county Saturday night and Sunday was denied by the board of revenue at its meeting yesterday on the grounds that the financial condition of the county and it's policy of reduc- ing expenses would not warrant it In assuming the obligation for the premium on the bonds required for each of the men appointed.
 According to the sheriff the law requires a s2,000 bond of each deputy regardless of the shortness of the time he is in service and he Is pro hibited from deputizing man with out such a bond being provided for.
 Has Many Requests
 He appeared before the board and stated that he had received numerous requests from persons in all sections of the county asking him to furnish a deputy at various gatherings and celebrations to be held Christmas eve, Christmas day and night and that if he furnished all the men requested he would use his entire force, leav- Ing no officers for emergency calls and would still lack 14 men to com ply with the requests.
 He stated that he had made appli- cation to the city police authorities for assistance without success. He stated that he felt the people who had made the requests of him should be given protection, but realized the financial condition of the county and that the board is doing all 1t can along these lines.
 He was told by the board that the financial condition of the county pre- vented their giving him any aid and 1t was suggested that he should send as many of his men as possible to the worst places and allow them to deputize citizens to help them in emergencies. which it Is believed can be done without the necessity of making the bond required for special appointment of deputies.

Sheriff HartsfeLd WithdraUs Deputies
 From City Duties
Drunkenness Increasing in Country Districts Declares Sheriff, and People Entitled to Protection-Of flee Handicapped by Insufficient Force
 Is Claim Made

Declaring that violation of the prohibition laws and others has grown to such an extent in the coun- try districts of Jefferson county be- cause of the curtailed number of off, ficers available for police duty there, that it has become almost un- bearable to the country citizens, Sheriff J. C.. Hartsfield yesterday stated that he intended to give the rural sections protection if it be- came necessary to keep every one of his 24 men In the rural sections.
 Under the plan which the sheriff says he will inaugurate to properly police the rural communities every man working out of his office will be withdrawn from performance of any duties inside the city limits and will be assigned to permanent duty in the country districts.
 He declared that although seriously handicapped by the small number ot deputies allowed him he intends ta give protection to the citizens of the country sc far as possible with his entire force and allow the police to look after Birmingham alone.
 Call on Volunteers
 Sheriff Hartsfield declared that the request for protection against drunk enness and reckless autoists by the country people Is overwhelming and he purposes to see that they get It.. In this connection. he said. he intends to throw every available deputy into the country districts tonight and to- morrow to afford protection and en- toIce order at the various ChristmaG celebrations to be held in commun'. ties throughout the county and if any emergency arises at the main office requiring attention he will call on volunteers to aid him in enforcing the law.
 His request for additional special deputies to handle these Christmas celebrations had been turned down earlier in the day by the board of revenue oi. the ground that the coun- ty was too poor financially to pay the premium on the $2,0oo bonds re- Luired for deputizing each man, ne said.
 Liquor Sold Openly
 Liquor Is being sold openly in many communities" he said, and drinking in the country districts is on the increase, resulting in fragrant disturbance of public worship and other gatherings of the country peo- pie and they have appealed to mo for help and they are going to get it, If I have to put every man I have in the business of protecting them. l have 10 men fewer now than l had this time last year owing to cuts by the board of revenue, leaving me only 24 men to police the entire terri tory of Jefferson county.
 This is known to violators of the law and they take advantage of the fact that when a call for help is made the deputy usually has to travel from the central office. By that time the vfolators have had time to make good their escape.
 Insufficiency of Officers
 'Tnsuffieiency of officers outside the city limits is resulting in more
