FIRE CHIEF TAKES UP ESCAPE
ISSUE
Hotelmen Warned to install Es-
capes in H~ostelries to Con-
form With State and
Local Laws

L. II G4N11@1N
Following the mailing to local hotel
men copies of the state and municipal
laws on requirements for fire escapes,
considerable criticism was voiced by
some hotel owners over the order to
install escapes before opening for
business this spring.
In reply.to the hotelmen Chief Nick
erson issued the statement below.
Copies of the state law and city or
dinance can be had by applying at
City Hall.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
It has come to the writer's attention
that the Mayor of our city is being
criticised for enforcing a certain
known State Fire Escape Law and
City Ordinance covering anne.
The writer wants it distinctly I'M
derstood and for the critics to take
notice that the Mayor is entirely
blameless and cannot be held to ac-
count in any way. The law specifi-
cally defines whose duty it is to see
that the fire escapes are installed,
both inside and outside, and specifies
the penalty for ignoring the same. The
law defines the officer to do the in
spection and enforcement.
The state law and also the city or
dinance will be followed to the letter.

Chief of Department and
Inspector of Fire Escapes.

Nearly Departments Precautions
SEEK COURT ORDER
TO PREVENT USE OF
TENTH STREET DUMP
Removal Of Insanitary Refuse
Also Sought In Terry's
Petition

An injunction suit seeking to re-
strain the city OF Birmingham from
using the city dump at Fifth avenue
and Tenth street, south, was filed in
the evil division of circuit court
shortly before noon Saturday by w.
NJ. Terry, proprietor of the Terry
Show Case company, operating on
block adjacent to the dump. The suit
alleges that noxious odors have made
it impossible to live in comfort in
that neighborhood and that the dump
is breeding place for all types of
disease producing germs. 1t also
asks the abatement of this nuisance
by the removal OF the waste already
deposited there.
The suit is filed directly against
the city commissioners OF Birming-
ham. D. E. McLendon, w. L. Harri-
son, w. E. Dickson, Mrs. Mary Echols
and w. B. Cloe, and also against the
Birmingham Realty company, who
are alleged to own the property. The
suit was filed by Weatherly, Birch
& Hickman. attorneys for Mr.. Terry.
1t Is alleged in the suit that the
bodies of dead cats and dogs, garbage
and waste, deposited on the dump
send forth an odor that makes habi-
tation almost impossible and that
stagnant pool Of water on the dump
is the breeding place of flies and
veritable host of disease producing
germs.
The suit enjoins the city from fur
Their use of the dump and seeks to
make them remove the garbage and
waste already deposited there.
The Concrete Steel company, VINO
also operate in the vicinity of the
dump, also filed similar suit against
the city of Birmingham at the time
of the filing of Terry's suit.

GRAND JURY PROBE
Of BAR PRACTICES
WILL BE LAUNCHED
Fite Case Begins Investiga-
ton Of Alleged
''Chasing"

The entire Birmingham bar will
face investigation by the Jefferson
county grand jury when the new
grand jury meets July 8, 1t is under
stood in court house circles. Solicit
tor Jim Davis has indicated that he
will ask the grand jury to investi-
gate charges that several well-known
Birmingham attorneys have agents
or solicitors employed to obtain suits
for them. This Is violation Of the
criminal statutes of Alabama. Dis
barment proceedings against Fred
Fite, now being tried in circuit court
have directly resulted in this In
vestigation. Fite is charged with
EMPLOYING solicitors to obtain DAM
age suits for him, and one witness
testified during the trial that an
agent stated that Fite had paid him
$4,000 since January in commissions
on the suits no had obtained for
him.
Since Fite's trial has been in pro-
gress, charges have been made by
attorneys that numerous lawyers
chase ambulances" and tina. it has
almost become a part of the regular
code of ethics in the legal profession
In Birmingham.
@
Judge Rice States Views.
Judge John Fleetwood Rice, Judge
of the circuit court of Tusca. ocsa
county, on the stand in the Fite case
Saturday, stated that what might be
regarded as unethical practices in one
place may not be SO regarded in an
other.
II understand that it Is quite COM
mon among Birmingham attorneys to
chase anbulancas," Judge Rice stat
ed, land in a community where the
best lawyers DO thing l would not
consider it unethical for other attor-
ncyS to do so.
1.-THE matter Of bad character in
connection with professional practice
depends great deal upon the COM
munity in which the attorney lives.
If the best attorneys of a place do
a thing it would hardly be consid-
cred unethical when lawyers Of less
prominence did the same thing. 1t
is not a matter of prominence Of the
LAWYERS but matter of course, as
generally the leading lawyers do
the customary things"
Judge Rice further stated that In
his opinion when a cleanup of these
matters was started it should start
with some gray-haired attorney and
not young lawyer who has Just
arrived on his feet in practice.
The Fite case has brought the
matter Ol leBdl ttnlCS " luc lOiC
most in the minds of the attorneys
and considerable interest has been
shown by men outside the profess
sion as every day the court room
where the Fite trial is being held
has been filled to capacity with
spectators.
Proceedings against Fite were in
stituted by the central committee
of the Alabama Bar association,
which has gone on record as vio-
lently opposed to Ambulance chas
ing" and has opened war on this
and other unethical practices. said
to be done by numerous attorneys
in Birmingham. Horace c. Wilkin-
son, Solicitor Jim Davis and C. p.
Beddow, all members of the bar as
ISOLATION, are prosecuting Fite.
At the. annual meeting of the bar
association charges Of open and
fragrant solicitation of law suits
were made following which the Bir-
mingham Bar association appointed
a special committee to act on charges
of this kind.

OTHER CITIES HAVE.
TRAFFIC WORRIES, TOO,
CHIEF M'DUFF FINDS
Reports More Stringent IL
censes For Drivers Re-
quired In North

Traffic regulations. the discussion
OF traffic regulations. and private
conversations about traffic regula-
lions. Chief of Police Fred A. Nc
Duff, who returned from the inter-
national conference of chiefs of po-
lice In Buffalo, n. z. Saturday. said
constituted the business of the meet
ing.
Birmingham isn't alone in such
worries. the chief states. The same
problems are besetting the police au-
thorities of every city of any conse-
quence in North America. Other
matters We're attended to at the
meeting, some other things dis
cussed, but invariably all came back
to the one big problem.
Toward the close OF the week of
discussions. a special committee was
appointed to draw up model traffic
regulations as reference for all
cities interested. Birmingham will
get a copy within few days and
the recommendations will be laid be-
fore the city commission.
The reason for the need of con-
slant study of the subject, Chief Nc
Duff said. is that most American
cities, and those elsewhere, for that
matter, were built before the advent
of the automobile.
Chief McDuff visited Buffalo,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toronto and
New York while away. studying the
traffic problems of each on his own
hook. All seemed to be handling
their situations satisfactorily, he
said, save Cincinnati, where there is
room for improvement. All these
cities, he said, demand that all
drivers of motor vehicles have chauf-
feur licenses. and have to pass rigid
examinations to get them. He said
he only saw one accident while on
his trip, and the average driving
was almost faultless. Such speed in
Birmingham would result in num-
Der of wrecks each day. The cities
visited do not permit the indiscrimi
nate renting of cars, as far as the
prospective drivers ability is con-
cerned. No license, no car, is the
law

ALABAMA Portland cement mills are
headed to a production Of 5000, 900
barrels for 1923.
This will be an Increase over 1922
of approximately rs per cent. The
1922 production exceeded that of 1921
and 1920. The increase of produce
ton this year is the third successive
one and is accepted in industrial cir
cleS not only as Indicating the in
crease in structural operations but
the steady increase in the use of
cement in all sorts of building.
According to Frank G.. Conkling.
sales manager of the Atlas Portland
Cement company at Leeds. it is esti-
mated that consumption of cement in
Alabama during the five months of
the year amounted to so per cent
more than consumption in the same
period of 1922.
Due to the wet weather there has
been some let-up in shipments of
shipments of cement to jobs under
way, but with the business on the
books for the remainder of the year,
1t is estimated that the full produce
ton of the mills will be cared fof
during the balance of 1923.
o O O
No Price Advance.
Cement Is one of the building ma
terials which. it is claimed by produc-
since August of 1922. The cement
mills have held to the 1922 price all
during the year. Production has
made new high records and so have
shipments in the southeast, which IL
served by the Birmingham nils
New business is reported as COM
ing in very we'll This. added to con-
tracts already booked, makes another
assurance OF the production and ship
ment record which it is thought 1924
will bring.
Construction of the Cherokee Bluffs
dam by the Alabama Power company
VIII call. for a large amount OF
cement this year and next, and pro-
gressive highway building campaign
Is also calling for a large amount,
while reinforced concrete steel con-
struction of garages, office buildings
and the like are also demanding large
quantities.
This years Alabama production
will owe a large part of the Increase
to the coming in of the new mill OF

pany. which has been busy since
