J|TNEY MEN WILL KNOW THEIR FATE SATURDAY HEARING
Judge Walker To Hear City Motion To Dissolve
 Injunction

Whether jitney operators will be successful in their efforts to block enforcement Sunday of the new city ordinance regulating jitney operation in Birming ham will be threshed out before Judge William Walker in chancery court at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
 A motion for the dissolution of the temporary injunction granted the jit- ney operators Thursday restraining the city from enforcing it's ordinance was filed by city attorneys Friday.
 The motion denies many of the points voiced in the petition for a temporary injunction circulated by the Jitney Owners and Operators association. The motion entered Fri day by the city states that the jitney owners are not incorporated outside of the few named as complainants and that the association as such has no pecuniary interest in the matter nor could its complaint prevail jointly with that of the individuals named.
 Says No Permit Grants.
 The motion states that the jitney operators have not been granted per mits to operate on the streets of Bir- mingham but that they voluntarily paid the comptroller $50 for what purports to be license but which is not authorized and to all intents and streets without authority and il- legally.
 Jitney men, in their temporary in- Junction suit against the city, pleaded that the rigid regulating ordinance to be put into effect Sunday would kill their business and cause great financial loss. The citys motion an- swers that If the operators cannot engage in a business that would se profitable when legislation occurred for the good of the whole people they cannot complain, because the good of the whole people cannot be endan- gered by the pecuniary wants of the operators.
 The jitney operators pleaded in their suit for a stay in the enforce ment of new regulations until the matter could be submitted to an elec- tion.
 James Weatherly and G. J. Prosch, attorneys. will represent the Jitney
 ners and Operators association d. the hearlns eaeurday morning.
 Details Of Agreement.
 The new ordinance was to have gone into effect Sunday. The in Junction prevents this. If the legal matters are cleared and the ordi- nance prepared by the city hnally goes into effect, the representatives of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company, three days after official notification that the ordl- nance Is fully in force, will go before the Alabama public service commits sion with the request that street car fares be reduced as provided in the agreement with the city. The pro- vision Is for seven-cent cash basis
 All orders placed by the utility company for additional cars, street lights and other Improvements are subject to cancellation and are in abeyance until the jitney question Is settled.
 Two men crews have been placed on the cars where they were prom ised some weeks ago. Separate en. frances have been provided also ana are now in use. Officials of the utility state the partitions will come
 10 use July ].
 The improvements and paving or First avenue are subject to the final inauguration of the ordinance.

NEW DRY OFFICER TO TAKE CHARGE OF WORK IN ALABAMA FIELD
Eugene N. Reed Comes To Succeed Judge Sartain,
 Who Has Resigned

Judge Charles M. Sartain of Jas per, federal prohibition directcr for Alabama. will turn over his office to Edgar N. Reed of the Washing ton, Maryland and West Virginia area, Saturday morning, his resigna- tion from this office becoming ef- fective at this time.
 Director Sartain has been in charge of the federal prohibition de- partment of Alabama since Novem- Der 1, 1921, and his resignation sent to Commi ssioner Roy A.

Austin, then federal pro- hibtion agent, and continued by Special Agents Frederick and Camp i, bell of the special intelligence unit . of internal revenue.
 As result of this investigation the local office has been in a dis organized condition for several months, and for the past week Henry Morsthorst and Robert Joyce. field supervisors of the internal revenue department have been busy checking up the records of the local office which will be formally turned over to Edgar N. Reed Saturday. At the present time no successor has been named for the directorship of Ala . bama and MT. Reed will be in charge of the southern division, which includes the states of Ala ~lbama. Mississippi and Louisiana. z Following the arrival Of Mir. Reed. | 1t is~understood that the entire per- 1onncl of the local office department Twill be changed, although it has (been practically disrupted already land raiding has come almost to a ktandstill The department, it is un- derstood, will be completely reor- ganized.
 Just what field of business Judge Sartain will become engaged in could not be determined, but it is said that he will devote his time to the op- eration of the coal mines which he owns in Walker county and remain at his home in Jasper.
