RETAIL DEALERS LEFT TO STATE BY COAL COMMISSION
Regulation Of Sales To HousehoIderS Handled
 By Locals

WASHINGTON, August s.-Costs of retailing coal and profits made by retail dealers can best be explored by municipal and state agencies in the interests of the communities con- cerned, according to conclusions reached by the federal coal commis- sion.
 In a statement today the commis- sion said it had found coal retailing inextricably associated with truck ing and storage and with the retail ing of variety of other commodi- ties. The expense of concluding & national survey was estimated to bs $2000, 900.
 There seems to be a lack of in- formation as to how far the United the anthracite and intends to go in the bituminous industry with refer ence to the retailing of coal" the statement said.
 ITO set the matter right, the com mission announces that it soon dis covered that more than 1000 retail coal dealers in America, many of whom had their coal business com pliCated with other articles of mer- chandise, the appropriation would not permit a presentation relative to the investment, cost, margin and profits of each of these dealers. The commission has done all that it could in the way of sampling in many of the municipalities of the country the retail coal trade, and will present the result of it's investigation to the country, but it has not gone and can not go into an investigation of all the retail coal dealers of America.

AmuSenents
AT LOEW,s BIJOU

Although the vaudeville and pie ture program at Loew's Bijou for the first part of the week is balanced throughout, the Jimmy Duln Neigh borhood Trio offered something en- tertaingly different from the usual run of acts. It features the Comrade- ship of policeman, neWsboy and telegraph messenger boy in songs, dances and true-tolife scenes which go over with the audience.
 Bert Coleman is an act to himself, but in versatility he is a whole troupe. Taking his cue from a mocking bird he can mimic anything from canary to rooster. One thing that he does is to whistle soprano an tenor at the same time. He can reproduce the filtration of a rooster with feather ed chicken with ease.
 Florence Bell and Jack Bellgrave enacted the usual domestic scene when the husband comes home at 3 o'clock in the morning too full to hang up his hat. They received a lighter hand than they deserved.
 The woman and man In The Three Masks proved to be acrobats as well as clowns. They make more fun out of a balloon than a kindergarten full of children.
 Those who had never witnessed such a scene, saw something to won- der at in Charlotte's Mannikins. It was enjoyed by the crowd as much as by Andy Gump, Jiggs and Maggie, and Mutt and Jeff, who occupied box seats
 The Metro classic T Can Explain" starring Gareth Hughes is one of Loew's usual star film offerings. It should be seen to be appreciated. Scenes of Mexican bandits are es- peCially interesting in view of Villa 8 recent ssassination.-G. H. W.

q approve the aims and purposes of your committee, disapprove of the leasing of convicts by the state to private corporations, and have voted against the leasing of cLnvicts by the corporations with which I am connected. I disapprove of any sys- tenn whereby they are given inhuman treatment, but l don't believe mining is particularly detrimental or inhu- man to convicts." James Bowron said in an across the table" talk Tues day night with members of the state wide committee on the abC Clifton of the convict lease system. MT. Bowron is chairman of the Gulf States Steel company.
 The committee denied connection with any labor organizations and de- nied receiving any money from those sources They tLld MT. Bowron their fight was not against the operators, as he seemed to think, but against the state for allowing such a system to exist.
 When the committee denied being backed by the United Mine Workers of America, MT. Bowron stated he approved of the committee and their work.
 Considerable discussion followed the suggestion of MT. Bowron that the state lease or buy it's own mines in which to work it's surplus labor.

FOUR NE W BRICK BUS|NE ESS HOUSES
 G0 UP IN ENSLEY
Downtown Business Center Is Undergoing Extensive
 Building Program
ENSLEY BUREAU I THE AGE-HERALD A


 Four brick business houses, inVolv- ing large investment, will be con- structed in Ensley immediately bo Ramsay & Mccormack. Announce ment of the new buildings was made Monday to The Age-Herald by M. H. Mcdowell, agent for the Ramsay & Mccormack properties in this city.
 One building will be constructed on Avenue E between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, adjoining the Franklin theatre, for the Daniel Fur niture company. from whom long lease has been secured for the build ing. The other three will be located on the Ramsay & Mccormack prop critics fronting on Nineteenth street between Avenue E and Avenue F. The entire four will be two stories high, of brick construction and mod ern to the last detail. It was stated the building for the Daniel Furni- ture company would be 40X155 feet to the alley between Avenue E and Avenue F. The other three, situated on Nineteenth street, will be 20x100 feet each, and will occupy only portion of that property. Later on additional buildings will be erected in the space unoccupied between Avenue E and Avenue F.
 Construction on these improve ments. which will create in Ensley a new reason for the utmost optim- ism, will begin at once, according to the announcement. Contractors will have an opportunity of seeing the plans within few days, and work will not be delayed a moment longer than Is necessary to get them under way.
 W. Eugene Daniel, president of the Daniel Furniture company, which concern has negotiated for the con struction of it's new home, said Mon day that since opening his business in Ensley there had been steady increase in volume and that he found it absolutely necessary to obtain larger building where he could carry a more commodious stock.
 The other buildings 10 be erected in this group will be rented by eager tenants, it is believed. The locations of the four buildings are ideal. Es- pecially is this true of those to be built on Nineteenth street between two of the busiest avenues in Fins lev and in direct traffic line with all developments of this city. The con- struction will, it is believed, preclpi- tate other announcements. fer the reason that lately there has been the utmost eagerness to erect buildings on Nineteenth street, which has brought about wave of building on that thoroughfare.
 It is believed that the new build ing of Val J. Nesbit, on the corner of Avenue C. and Nineteenth street will be under way within few days; That building will contain several stores. will be 100x100 feet on Nine teenth street and will do its full share in rendering Nineteenth street the most attractive street in this section

Police Secure Ancient Pistol In Late Catch

Members of the Birmingham police force were greatly in- trigued by a bit of vest pocket artillery Pegler and McCombs, roundsmen, brought to head quarters Monday. It was a re- volver of ancient make but gen erous proportions. Easily it could have passed for the grandfather of all modern "gats," for it was of dignified heft and a bore that would easily accommodate a Malaga grape.
 Smith and Wesson, not un- known in the realm of firearms, produced the revolver along lines indicated by the Russian high command in 1874, for the weapon bears that date in the metal of it's stock and below it the number 46962, evidently the serial number of the class built for soldiers of the late czar's predecessors. The last patent number on the revolver is August 24, 1869.
 Chief Fred A. McDuff meas ured the weapon and found it to be over a foot long, with a bar rel almost seven inches. It's cylinder carries six cartridges and the bore is A or better. Engraved on the lock is the name "A. R. Brodies."
 Monday morning the massive piece was jerked from the belt of a youth caught in south side residence. Boy and pistol will be exhibited before Judge Martin in police court at an early date.

AT THE LYRIC

Patrons of the Lyric theatre Mon day night were given many laughs and many worth while truths in Six Cylinder Love-" William Anthony McGuires comedy, presented by the resident company. Russell Fillmore displayed again the talent given op- portunity in Getting Gertie's Gar ten,' and James Blaine did his best work since joining the group of play CTS who have given Birmingham an enjoyable innovation this summer.
 Automobiles and salaried couples who are trying to own their own home don't mix if collection of so- cial spongers are constantly on the calling list, the action of the play brings out sharply. They are all right however, for janitors who take care of go apartment houses at $40 a month each"
 Russell Fillmore and Beatrice Maude, new leading lady, give a good representation of a popularly visual ized newly couple. Miss Maude gives better performance than in East Is West" having fitted in well with the rest of the company after a weeks acquaintance.
 Arthur Byron is up to his usual standard after weeks layoff and brings many hearty laughs by his manipulation of the lines of Richard BurIOn, q man who mas 1C una out the truth of the maxim regarding auto mobiles and parasitic friends.
 Raymond Bramley is again cast in a role where he makes himself a tar get fsr the cordial hatred of the au- dience. He plays the teahound to per lection. Edith Speare and Franklin George are able aides. George R. Taylor gives a finished performance as George StapletLn, the employer who gives his erring worker another change.
 Hazel Reading is a good flapper type who turns sincere working girl after her fathers reverses, due to too much exercise of the muchly- maligned automobile. which holds d record of having been sold three times during the performance. Melba Palmer adapts herself well to the part of Geraldine Burton, daZzled by the tepid tangoers.

 By Resolution

Copy of a resolution adopted by the committee of allied labor organiza tions of Birmingham Sunday was submitted to The Age Herald Mon day for publication, in which opposl- tion to the candidacy of Senator Os- car w. Underwood for the nomina- tion for President of the United States was voiced.
 The resolution was signed by Ar chic B. Warner as secretary-treas- urer of the committee and Robert R.. Moore, chairman.
