| Ing before the flames could be reached.
 Many of the firemen came near be- ing overcome by the dense clouds of smoke that poured from the doors and windows of the house, making 1t extremely dangerous for them to remain on the inside and attempt to cope with the flames. They were all highly praised for their work by officials of the road who were summoned upon the scene.
 Two Men Injured
 Two persons injured were reported as a result of the fire, they being Frank Williams and MT. Beasley, they being employed in the round house of the Frisco as mechanics.

New Secretary Anti Saloon
 League Makes First Talk
 In Birmingham Tomorro w
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

By profession 1 am a lawyer; by oceupaiE I am secretary of the Anti-Sabon League of Alamama; am a kcal preacher, though not an ordained preacher; I am the son of preacher; l have never lived any where that I haven't preached, and I have always been told that while many who are preachers talk about everything else under the sun but the gospel, have never failed to bring the message of the gospel to my au- ditors."
 The New Secretary.
 The speaker was the new secre- tary of the Anti-Saloon league of Alabama, Mir. Bibb Mills:
 The time:
 Yesterday:
 The place:
 Headquarters of the Antisaloon league of Alabama:
 The occasion:
 Mir Mills's first appearance, which will be tomorrow morning at Il o'clock, at Highlands Methodist church. when he will speak for the first time in public since his ac- eeptanee of his new position in this state.
 The board of stewards of this church having invited MT. Mills to take the place of Dr. W. R. Hendrix. the pastor of the church, who is away for a months vacation, tomor- row morning, the recipient of the compliment expressed his apprecia- tion of being given the opportunity of speaking to Birmingham au- dience, so soon after his arrival here.
 "Of course we prohibitionists never talk about but one thing" MT. Mills said laughingly. We never let the chance get by when we can say a word for prohibition because 1t Is the thing nearest and dearest to our hearts," so my subject tomor- row morning will be "The Prohibit tion Situation Throughout the Ma tion."
 And are you optimistic?" I asked.
 Absolutely" was the quick re- ply.
 The Johnstown Incident.
 What about the recent debacle in the Pennsylvania town?" I inquired.
 You see the result; disorder; drunkenness shooting and scrap Flne, the same things that always follow in the wake of whiskey. Of course this sensation was staged largely to see if tho law could be violated. The only hope they had is a nullification of the law. Even tho sentiment is against whiskey, one that IS hard to overcome 1t Is up to the people how they will handle the situation"

-YOU-ENTER
 SYSTEM DEF ENDED
Plan Has Greatly Decreased Street Car Accidents,
 PeVear Declares

In defense of the pay-as-you-enter system on Birmingham street cars, J, s. Pevear, president and general manager of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, In letter 10 Commissioner of Public Utilities w. L. Harrison, declared that the system, since 1t has been in operation on the various lines in the city, has greatly decreased the number of se- rious accidents to passengers alight- Ing from the street cars and has also proved a saving to the company in insuring the collection of all fares due from passengers.
 This letter was sent by the head of the traction company in reply to a letter from Commissioner Harri- son, in which the payas you enter system, especially on North Brming- ham cars, was declared disagreeabie to white passengers and Q source of possible danger in causing friction between white and eolored passen- gers in the congested cars.
 Mir. Pevear declared In his letter that the protests filed with the com mission grew out of negligence on the part of conductors and their fail- ure td properly adjust the color boards, allowing ample seating and SNolihlhE cRtIe AOi SOACAVo BehSSSAa- gers.
 The traction head declared in his letter that under the old system where colored passengers boarded and left the car by the front en- trance and white passengers the rear. the conductor of the car was forced to spend his time in collecting fares and issuing transfers after the pas sengers had become seated. Pevear declared that 1t was physical im- possibility for the conductor to go to the rear end of the car at each stop and then return and collect his fares, so the duty of protecting the white passengers fell upon the motor- man."
 The motorman are provided with mirrors which enable them to look back along the aisles of the car, al- though they cannot see what Is talk ing place on the platforms and steps, it was stated. There are many cases where children or weak and decrepit persons are caught off their balance on the car steps. andf are thrown to the pavements as car starts, and as result sustain severe bruises" MT. Pevear said.
 Figures were compiled by Pevear to shaw that since the installation ol the PoS -eAs Ou- -SatS4 syot has been decrease in the number of street ear accidents. During the year 1919. this type of accidents averaged SS per month, he said, in 1920, 54 per month; in 1921, A per month and for six months in 1922. 37 per month.
 In commenting on the possibility of friction arising between white and colored passengers, Pevear declared that the pay -you-enter system as objected to by patrons of the company will be taken upon the re- turn of Lee c. Bradley, receiver of the traction company, which will ba about September 1
