 CIVIL SERv|CE: ACT
Charges of Drunkenness Sus. tained and Commissioners Sign Discharge-To Try
 Accused Policemen

R. M. Burnen and NJ c. Tucker, members of the Birmingham fire de- partment suspended by Chief Akin following their alleged participation in drinking party on Sunday, Feb ruary Il, were formally discharged Monday night at a meeting of the civil service board.
 An order making their discharge effective, charging them with having been under the influence of intoxi- cants and being drunk and disorderly on February II, and with being un- der influence of intoxicants at No. l fire station, was signed by John Alt man, chairman of the board; J. G. Vance, J. E. Lacey and R. c. Gladden.. H. P. Burruss, three-year member ot tho board, was absent, being criti- cally i'll at a local infirmary.
 An order was also signed by the board commanding that the chief of the fire department conduct an in- vestigation of the alleged complicity of West, another fireman with Bur nell and Tucker in the party on Feb ruary Il, and file charges against West with the civil service board it he finds probable cause for so doing.
 West, who is said to have admitted taking a drink with the two firemen and a civilian, J. E. Smith, was sus pended for 10 days by Chief Akin at the time he investigated the case Of Burnell and Tucker. Burnell and Tucker were discharged on the day following the party by Chief Akin but the order was later changed to suspension in order that it might comply with the civil service law which had just been enacted.
 The case was continued from last Thursday on account of the absence on that night of J. E. Smith, who, according to his own testimony. ac- companied Burnell, Tucker aud West on February Il. No witnesses for the defense were introduced at the trial Monday night. M. A. Dinsmore. their attorney, in resting their case. stated that the two men admitted having had some liquor earlier in the day. but denied emphatically that they were under the influence when they reported for work that night.
 Prior to the opening of the trial. a letter from J. E. Weaver. member of the police department at Pratt City, was opened and read to the as- sembly by John Altman. Weaver stated in the letter that he had served on the police department at Pratt City 16 years before its incor- poration with Birming ham, and Is years since, u totdi ol No yedio coH- tinuous service. Weaver stated that during that time his services had been entirely satisfactory to those in charge, and that he was now unable to serve on account of an attack of acute inflammatory rheumatism. He also said that his wife was seriously ill, and asked that he be given hls Irregular salary, $125 per month. A note attached, signed by A. B. orsey, M D., substantiated claims as to the illness of Weaver and his wife. As sistant Chief of Police Christian in- formed the board that Weaver was at present receiving half pay.
 A motion made by J. E. Lacey that Weaver be allowed s1o0 a month by the board was overruled by Chairman

MARC TRIAL OCCUPIED IN SELECTION OF JURY

Marc is the second person to face jury in connection with the killing of Roberts. His wife, Edna Marc, was sentenced to 25 years in the peniten- tary following 10-day trial last June.

Altman. who asked that action be deferred until the city physician could investigate and make a report as to the condition, cause and length of time of Weaver's illness. It was stated that Weaver had been i'll for some time. The civil service does not provide for cases of disability which arose before the law went into effect, but 1t is thought that some action may be taken in Wea- ver's case.
 At the next meeting of the board on March g the case of Police Officer J. E. Phillips will be tried. A letter, signed by w. c. Moran, was read to the commission last Thursday night. charging that Philips had given an alleged brutal beating to a negro whom he arrested near the Hillman hospital on the preceding Thursday. Phillips will be the first police off cer to face the board since the enact ment of civil service.
