F WEST ACCIDENTS
 BY J|TNEYS, CLAIM
Inspector Makes Several Rec- concentrations in Sur
 vey of Lines

"Percentage of accidents among jitney drivers Is much less than among any other class of automobile drivers in Birmingham" declared A. .C. Smith, jitney inspector. Monday, after he had completed a survey of jitneys and taxicabs operating in Bir- mingham.
 q find" said Smith, "That the ma jority of the jitney men are anxious for regulations that will stabilize the business, and I find them eager to CO., operate"
 The report made by Smith Monday shows that there are 300 jitneys run ming on 13 lines in Birmingham. Nine of these lines, with about 225 drivers, are white, and four are colored. There are approximately 75 taxicabs, 50 interurban buses and ITS drive-it- yourself cars.
 The South Highlands and the Glen Iris lines have the largest number of cars, with 35 each. The largest num- Der of people are hauled on the West End line, however, since it operates seven-passenger cars. There are 3l jitneys on this line.
 Smiths survey was made prelimi- nary to adoption of an ordinance regulating jitneys. Features of this ordinance will be that each driver. will be assigned to route. from which he cannot depart; drivers must run on regular schedule, and checker must be furnished by jitneys at ends of each line. These checkers have already been provided on some lines, it is said. Increase%of license is also designed to weed out unstable jitney drivers.
 Commissioner W. B. Cloe has de- clared that he means to "clean up'' the jitney business, and that an or dinance will soon be drafted to that end

Cloe Loses Three Pints,
 and Someone Says Negro
 Janit0r Had Three Pints

Gentle aroma of corn wait ing from the office of W. B. Cloe, commissioner of public safety, where it was stored, after being seized by detectives. proved too strong Monday for the vul- nerable will of someone at the city hall.
 Three pints of the spirituous liquor were missing from Commis- sioner Cloe's collection Monday morning. and they were found In the possession of an over-zealous 1anitor, who cleaned the office of the head of the police department just 8 little too literally.
 Emmett Johnson will answer before Judge Henry J. Martin Tuesday morning--not for Illegal ly appropriating the liquor, for there is no law against that-but for having it in his possession.

Pouches For BeSsemer and Selma Disappear From Terminal Station in
 Morning

Post office inspectors were busy Monday gathering any clues that might lead to the arrest of robbers who took two pouches of registered mail from the Terminal station Sun day night and escaped without being observed. No information was given out as to the results of investigations made following discovery of the theft.
 Post office authorities announced that the pouches were not stolen from a mail truck, as first reports indi- cated The pouches, among others, had been delivered to authorities at the Terminal station, and receipts for them are held at the-post office. The most definite information authorities at the station have Is that the pouches disappeared between 5 o'clock and o'clock Sunday morning.
 The mail force at the Terminal changes shifts at II o'clock at nisht, and the only information that em- pIoyes could give was the time at which this delivery of mail from the central post office was received and the time when a check showed the two pouches missing
 Officials secuted the theory that the robbery was committed by ex- perienced criminals. There was noth- ing spectacular about the theft. While both pouches were registered, the time at which they were dis patched would indicate that rich haul was not made by the thieves; such, for instance, as might have been made following the delivery of mail during the late afternoon.
 Postal authorities have not yet made check of the contents of the two pouches which were addressed to Bessemer and Selma. They stated that this was not possible until all registered mail sent Sunday night could be checked with the addresses.

MORE BANDIT AFTERMATH
douglas Enterprise)

The capture of Brown-Busch-
Grimes seems to have stirred up con-
siderable discussion as tU who is en-
titled to the credit Of picking him
up. On Thursday. June 15. Brown
had disappeared. The officers look
ing for him had no idea where he
was. Nobody knew II he was in
Wyoming. Colorado or Nebraska and
peace officers in all three states were
on the lookout for him. Brown had
gotten away and all trace of him was
lost. The evening Of June IL he was
in the heavy timber on the head of
Little Medicine Bow Creek nea the
Comstock cabin. where he could have
stayed for weeks and nobody would
have known it. He had driven his
car in over an old log road that no
one ever travels and was safe 80 long
as he kept quiet.
On Friday. the 18th, he back-trailed
down the Little Medicine to the
Burnett place. He was tired OF be-
ing In a safe place and wanted &C.
ton. Burnett Immediately sent
ont word that he was there. Bur-
motifs are entitled to all of the credit
for capturing Brown. There was no
chance for Brown after Burnett sent
out the word and he could not es
cape. The Douglass posse. consisting
OF Albert Pevton, John LeBar. Roy
Combs and Walter Shredder. had ex-
amined every road leading away
from the Burnett place north and
were bound for the Taylor place
when they learned of Browns cap
ture only two hours before thew
reached there. If Brown had stayed
a2Iav from Burnett's = had stayed
up on the head Of the Little Medi-
cine - he would be there yet and no
officers would have known. Mr..
Burnett is entitled to all of the credit
for the capture Of Brown-Busch-

BE CAREFUL SMOKERS,
MATCHES AND CIGARETTES
CAUSE FOREST FIRES

The fire danger incident to the
use Of matches and tobacco, writes
Secretary of. Agriculture Wallace, is
usually given little consideration by
the vast army OF smokers.
Statistics compiled by the Ma
tionai Board Of Fire. Underwriters
show that the annual loss from
fires caused by matches and burn
ing tobacco in the United States
reaches the impressive total of more
than $73 900 during the five
year period 1915 to 1919. inclusive.
To this total must be added q con
siderable percentage OF the unneces-
sary fire destruction in the forests
of our country. where each year fires
destroy or damage sufficient timber
to build homes for the entire popula-
ton OF a city the size of Washington,
New Orleans. Denver or San Fran
cisco.
Campers, hunters. fishermen and
woods workers should read this and
resolve that their c~arelessness will
not contribute to destructive forest
fires.
