SINNER SPEEDS UP
 LETTER DELIVERY
Merchants Can Have Replies Delivered In TWenty-four
 Hours, If They Wish

Parcels and letters addressed to Alabama territory can be delivered on the same afternoon as dispatched if they are placed in the early mails in the local post office. according to an announcement made yesterday in a series of circular letters which R. B. Smyer, postmaster, is sending to the business people of Birmingham.
 MT. Smyer calls attention to the fact that the business firms of the city can establish good reputations for themselves in the way of prompt delivery If they deliver orders to their out t-of-town customers the same day they are received.
 This letter Is one of a series of letters which MT. Smyer is sending to business firms in an effort to get them to mail their letters before the close of business in the afternoon Eighty per tent of all the letter mail does not reach the local post office until after five o'clock. The result is the night trains are flooded, and often letters which, would leave on the early night trains are delayed until morning.
 from MT Smyer's campaign, and he says he intends continuing it until all, the business firms awaken to the l fact that they are delaying their own mail by waiting until late afternoon to send their letters to the post office.

SALVATION ARMY WORKER INJURED Found in Alley With Skull Fractured = Negro
 Woman Held

Mike Labuco, said to be an employe of the Salvation Army, this morning is at the Hillman hospital in a se- rious condition as the result of being hit on the head, it is alleged, by Willie Young, negro woman, about 1030 o'clock last night in Fourth all ley near Sixteenth street.
 The origin of the argument be- tween the two is unknown to the po- lice. Another negro reported the in- jured man in the alley to the police. They investigated and an ambulance from the Ridout Undertaking estab- lishment removed him to the hos pital.
 The negro woman, Willie Young, is said to have been seen running from the alley shortly after Labuco was struck on the head She denies any knowledge of the affair. At the hos pital it was stated that Labuco had sustained a slight fracture of the skull and was in too serious con- dition to make any statement. The woman is held by the police.

WITHOUT J|TNEYS
 ON LOOPS, STREET
 CARS MAKING TIME
Several Routes Have Cut Minutes From Trips Be-
 cause Tracks Are Open /. In Business District

Improvements in the car service on the Avenue B loop. Twentieth street lcop, South Ensley and North Besse- mer lines were announced yesterday by T. G. Brabston, superintendent of transportation of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 Following the elimination of the jitneys from the tracks on the loop lines the receiver of the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power com pany is having a new switch con structed. on Eleventh avenue and Thirteenth street which will facili- tate the movement of loop cars. Since the elimination of the jitneys on these tracks the schedule for a trip will be cut down six minutes, beginning this morning.
 Schedule Change
 Changes in the schedule will give a car every four minutes down Twen- tieth street into the city fin the morning and a four minute service out Twentieth street in the after noon. During the middle of the day and late at night when traffic IS light, there will be car each way every seven and one-half minutes.
 The special car which formerly left Birmingham to run to Vinesville, on the North Bessemer line, each even ing at 6:10 o'clock leaves in the fu- ture at 5:10. The car which turns back at Vinesville station makes the trip in 30 minutes. This change was made because of the very heavy traf- fic between 5 and SEQ o'clock in the evening. and the change will prevent the overcrowding on the 5.20 North Bessemer car in the future.
 Suburban Cars
 The running time between termin- als on the North Bessemer line has been reduced 20 minutes for the round trip during the day and 30 minutes for the round trip at night The cars will leave the terminal points at the same time as hereto fore, the change in running time saw ing from 20 to 30 minutes each round
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-07-08

J. S. Pevear, general manager Tor the receiver, occupied the witness stand all day yesterday, being ex- ing session, which lasted until l o'clock, and examined by Forney Johnston, special counsel for the city, when the hearing was re- sumed at 2:80 o'clock. Cross-exami- nation of Mir. Pevear by MT. Johnston will continue when the session opens ct 8 o'clock this morning. It is ex- pected by members of the public serv- foe commission that the hearing will close today.
 Sharp Interchanges Sharp interchanges between MT. Johnston and MT. Bradley were occnsioned, when MT. Johnston started to read the public utilities act of 1920. Mir. Bradley inter- rupted to ask n repetition. MT. i, Johnston retorted that he should know the net, as he wrote ft.
 CT didn't write the statute and you did, Mir Johnston told MT. Bradley. s'You certainly ought to know it.-
 MT. Bradley then went on to ex- plain that he had been invited to col 1aborate with the attorney general. the invitation coming indirectly from the governors office. He declared that he had invited MT. Johnston to criticize the act, sending a copy Of the rough draft to his offices in Washington. He asserted the meas ure was based on the -Cummins bill, for which he gave MT. Johnston credit.
 Takes Exception
 During the morning session the atmosphere of the court room was suddenly electrified when MT. Brad ley belligerently took exception to a question asked by Commissioner of Public Utilities J. Ellis Brown. A. c. Patterson. president of the public service commission, was forced to hint at bringing in assistance to maintain order.
 MT. Brown asked if 1t was not . fact that the receiver was seek ing to continue in effect the present electric schedule of rates. He also asked if this were not in
 effect n repudiatiOn of the con-
 tract printed on the back of tho
 bills sent out by the company.
 .I don't .repudiate my con-
 tracts,- shouted Mir. Bradley, ris-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-07-08

Everything else is slowing down. he said, with all business naturally suf- fering.
 Would you consent to allowing your rates to be fixed on a base of your best months returns? he ques- toned
 MT. Johnston asked what effort to curtail expenses had been made, with all other utilities in the coun- try putting drastic retrenchment measures into effect. Faster Schedules Mir. Pevear stated that no reduc- ton of service had been put into ef- l feet, but that the price of common labor had been reduced somewhat. | Schedules have been speeded up also, he stated.
 He declared that no major econo- mics had been placed in effect. Re- routing proposals by MT. Johnston were met with the statement that shotgun tactics might again result Rerouting already gone over would only cut off nine cars during six hours of the day. Inconvenience to the public would more than offset the small saving which would be eff put the property in worse condition. 1 This would be only practicable on short lines.
 Jitneys Take S7OO Daily During the first week of May the jitneys handled 51, ,000 passengers, Mir. Pevear stated, saying that his men had checked them. This was the basis for a statement that the jitneys were taking $700 a day from the street railway system.
 "Is it your intention to ask an in crease in fare every time an unusual situation presents itself?" MT. John ston asked You admit that the jit- ney's relation to the problem Is small compared to the general depression Now it is a condition of men out of jobs who own cars who are on the jitney lines. Isn't this a transitory proposition?"
 Mr. Pevear rejoined with the state ment that he thought period of ex- treme depression was just ahead and tEat the jitney should be given full credit for it's damaging work on rev enues.
 Debt to Merchants | B. F. Moore was introduced at this point by MT. Patterson. He made a statement on behalf of merchants of Birmingham in regard to indebted ness of the property to them. He stated the receivership owed mer- chants of the city sl23,o0o. Money owing to concerns represented by local men amounts to $44S.ooo, he | said.
 This money is long past due ane the merchants need their money. In creased earnings are needed by the company. He declared the mer' chants wished to help and he be lieved the city commission was sym pathetic.
 The wage scale came in for quite bit of discussion, Mr. Johnston main taining that a reduction of expense is possible through curtailed operat ing expenses.
 He asked MT. Pevear if the pur chase of the Tidewater was not pri marily for protection of the B. R. I,. & P. Go. against competition. Nil
 Pevear stated that better service t
 the public was the idea of the com
 pany. Both public and Tidewate
 are better off because of the pur chase, he stated.
 The hearing was then adjourne until g o'clock this morning
