Without Bail.

Walter J.. Sayles, 1I-year-old negro,
confessed drug store bandit and who
has been positively identified by his
recent victims, was arraigned before
Justice Ben s. Fisk. on IL felony
charges, Wednesday forenoon.
Bail was refused in seven hOld-up
cases, in which affidavits specifically
charge him with robbery by assault
with firearms, a capital offcnse under
the Texas statute. He was rcmandcd
to Jail to await action by the BeXar
county grand jury.
In two charges OF burglary, a third
for felony theft and n fourth for as
sault with intent to murder, bail ag-
gregating $1,000 was fixed by the
court, $500 being the amount set IN
each case.
The defendant was escorted back 10
the county jail by deputies, after the
cases had been disposed of in the JUS
tice court.
The negro, in a written Confession
made in the Fr',"nce Of city detec-
t;ves and several civilian witnesses,

AFFIRM TAX SUIT
Santa Rosa Hospital Must Pay Taxes
TO City.

Judgment in favor of the City OF
San Antonio in the sum of S3993.2S
against the Santa Rosa Infirmary was
rendered by the Fourth Court Of Civll
Appeals Wednesday. At the same time
the court overruled a motion for a re-
hearing. Wednesdays decision, nm
less il is appealed TO the higher courts,
finally upholds lthc. right of the city
to tax hospitals not operated strictly
for charitable purposes.
The same court, a few weeks ago
sustained the judgment of the trial
court. but remanded the case in or
der that the actual amount Of taxes
owed by the institution might be as
certained. This order was made on
the ground that the amount was no.
ascertainable from the record. Action
Of the court in thus remanding the
case. however, was attacked on the
ground that the trial court had admit
ted S3903.2S as the amount of taxes
due. that this amount was alleged in
tine original petition and admitted in
the answer. The appellate court there
fore rendered Judgment in favor of
the city in this amount, plus q per
cent interest.
The Santa Rosa protested against
taxation by the city on the ground
that it was a quasi-charitable institu-
ton. The city, however, insisted that
IL charged its patients and that rcvc-
nue. derived from its operation was
not devoted to charitable purposes.

DEPARTMENT HEADS AT THE CITY HALL FORM OWN ORGANIZATION

Heads of the various departments in the city hall perfected an organiza- ton at the last meeting held last Thursday afternoon. when Fred c. Culley, superintendent of the wei fare department, was elected presi- dent; w. Marvin Taylor. comptroller, vice president, and Mrs. Myrtelle Smell, city amusement inspector, sec retary. The, purpose of the organiza- tion is to assist the heads of the ue- partments through closer co-opera- tion with the other members by hearing complaints and discussion of the workings of other sections of the city hall.
 This plan was fostered by D. E. Me Lendon, president of the city commis- sion. MT. McLendon said: There Is no doubt but this is a good thing for the heads of the different depart ments, for it gets them together once month and all the problems can be threshed out and better cooperation will result"

PRINTERS MEET HEREI LYRIC WILL BE USED MONDAY AND TUESDAY FOR SUMMER OPERA
 ANNUAL CONVENTION PARK SCHEME FAILS

Opera presented by Birmingham talent may yet be realized. It was announced Saturday by Commissioner W. l.. Harrison that the proposed operas might be presented in the Lyric theatre during the summer season in conjunction with the vaude- vile. It was understood that Walter s. Crosbie, manager of the Lyric, had presented a plan to o. Gordon Erickson which would be submitted to the commissioners during the com ing week.
 The plan was offered to MT. Brick son when the building of an open air theatre in Woodrow Wilson park was found to be impossible. The con- veyance of the property to the city in 1883 by the Elyton Land company provided that the site would be used only for capitol or park site. w.. J. Wynne, city attorney, notified Commi ssioner Harrison that no charge could be made to the theatre should it be erected.
 By giving the opera, 1t will train local talent to a great degree. Many of the principals and the chorus have been holding meetings at which time selections for the casts and choruses have been made by MT. Erickson who has charge of the production. It was originally planned to present eight operas during an eight weeks season.

|l,45O BOY SCOUTS INV BIRMINGHAM AND STILL GOING

< Birmingham's Boy Scout or sanitation is in the healthiest con- dition now since it's birth. with 1.450 scouts actively enrolled. ac- cording to c. A. Moffett. commis- sioner of the Birmingham Boy Scout Council. These boys are members of 70 troops. During February. 1.057 advancement work examinations were passed by scouts of the Birmingham district, he said.
 Scout troops, in every section of the district are exerting wholesome and constructive i'm fluence over the boys of every neighborhood," declared Mir Moi fett. Men and women of Bir- mingham should fully realize this. They should be proud of the fact that Birmingham has one of the largest scout organizations in the south and one which has stood ready and willing, to serve its community in various capacities.
 "The voluntary service rendered by scouts during the past year to various organizations would have mounted into many thousands of dollars if 1t were figured on that basis"

Hinds, state entomologist when he begins his campaign may have all available data. Dr. Dowl- ing, city health officer stated many complaints had already been received by the department.
 At just what time Mr. Kinds will start his progra m is not known, but It was expected that actual work would be begun before the last of next week. Several colonies were found in the esastern and western sections of the city and immediate action was urged.
 The city commission voted an ap- propriation of S1 500. asked for by MT. Kinds, to establish an effective cam paign. According to Mir. Kinds, a poison is prepared that worker ants carry to the colonies. killing off the queens and the young, and later the workers die from the effects of the poison. N
