AGREEMENT GIVES UNIFORMED MEN PAY INCREASES
Ordinance To Be Intro duced In Commits
 sion Today

The bitter squabble over salary in- creases for policemen and firemen was definitely settled at conference Mon- day and the city commission will adopt an ordinance Tuesday which, according to indications, will satisfy everybody.
 This ordinance will provide that, be ginning November l fee of $3 will be collected as costs in all police court cases which result in conviction. Comptroller Armstrong estimates that $70,O00 or $15,000 in added revenue will result.
 The commission will give all city de- tectives and the uniformed men in the police and fire departments flat salary increase of $15. In addition, the ser pertinent will receive increases that will put them on an even basis with officers of the police department.
 The balance of the cost fee fund will go into the general revenue, and al- though the ordinance to be passed Tues day does not pledge the commission to use it in increasing the size of the police and fire departments, President D. E. McLendon declared Monday that this is the plan and purpose of the commission.
 "No steps to increase the size of the departments will be taken until the cost collection plan has worked long enough for us to make an accurate estimate of the income it will yield" McLendon said.

RAILROADS LOWER
 BURLAP BAG RATES
Adjustments Care For Movement
 From North And Midwest

The Frisco and Illinois Central rail- roads have approved for publication at the request of the Birmingham Traffic association reduced rates on second hand burlap bags from Ohio and Missis- sippi river crossings to Birmingham for account of the Wertheimer Bag com pany. Last week the reduced rates on this commodity were secured from east ern points and this adjustment is to take care of the movements from the north and central west.
 A few of the old and new rates fol- lows: St. Louis, 72-53; Vicksburg, 56- 3S; Louisville, 56-38; and Chiacgo S4-66.
 The Wertheimer Bag company is en- gagged in buying and reconditioning burlap bags and they have built up one of the largest companies of this kind in the south. The new rates will place them on a competitive basis with Sa- vannah and New Orleans, both of which have all water rates from the east.

Commission To Act Upon Plan Of Birmingham
 And Southeastern

The Birmingham and Southeastern railroad has applied to the interstate commerce commission for authority to take over and operate the former Bir- mingham and Southeastern railway, it was learned in Birmingham Monday.
 The railroad operates between Union Springs and Eclectric, distance of 4S miles. John T. Cocheran of Mobile is president. It connects at Fort Davis with the Seaboard Air Line and at Milstead with the Western Railway of Alabama. ~
 From information obtainable here the line has not been in operation and the application to reoperate the line indi- cates that traffic will be resumed. The carrier came into considerable promi- hence when it initiated a motor train between its terminals. Mir. Cochrane is well known in Alabama as a pioneer in unproven fields.

Mrs. Moran's Absence Fails To Halt Court
 Proceedings

A trial started in circuit court be- fore Judge John Denson in which only one of the principals was in court. The case, that of Mrs. Mary Moran against J. w. Lovelace asking dam ages because of malicious persecution, has been called several times before when Mrs. Moran was not in court and her attorney, Won l.. Thompson, de- cided Monday to hear the case without his client.
 The case is based upon an alleged visit of Mir. Lovelace and 12 compan- ions to the lunch and soft drink stand which Mir. and Mrs. Moran were run ming, and ordered them to leave the community. it is said. Shortly after this visit, which the men claimed was under orders of Judge H. B. Aber- nathy, there followed by visit from another group of men, who burned the Moran buildings.
 As an outgrowth of these visits, six suits were filed by both MT. and Mrs. Moran, five of which were settled out of court. The present case is the only one which has been brought to trial.

 Shortly after court was resumed fol- lowing the noon recess, Dr. B. I. Wyman took the stand as the expert for the state. Dr. Wyman failed to testify to any insanity in Owens and contradicted, it is said, almost all the testimony of Dr. Woods.
 The trial of Owens started last Thurs day and has been prosecuted by Solici- tor Jim Davis. The state has called a large number of witnesses, who have testified to all angles of the case and rested Saturday, but placed Dr. Wyman on the stand Monday after Dr. Woods had testified.

Circus Folk All Have Their FavOrites
 Among Horses

Among the POO and more trained horses that will be seen in Birmingham Thursday with the Ringling and Bar nun and Bailey circus, are Arabian steeds, equines from Spain, Barbary stallions, and others of English, Bel gian and American bredes. Such are the encyclopedia names. But to the circus folk, who travel day by day with them, they are one and all just sugar horses" @
 No matter what part a horse may play in the main tent performances, whether he be among the fifty beauti- full Russian stallions, known through out Europe as the Warsaw Horses" !" who execute. intricate drills, or a broad old "rosin-back" in an end ring, there's somebody "back stage" to whom he looks for sugar. The supplier of sugar will not necessarily be his owner or trainer. More often it is otherwise. Those who have acts not requiring horses-such as the aerialists, gym nasts and clowns-all have their pets.
 The private dressing tent of Lillian Leltzel, the aerlaHStSt, IS uaIly luFdueu by several spoiled beauties-all looking for sugar. Aside from the ring horses" are the hundreds of Percherons and Clydes that draw the ponderous red Wagons, and even these are not neglected when it comes to betting and attention.
 More than ever before, the horse is glorified by this years Ringing offer ing and he dominates the circus pro gram to a greater extent than hereto fore.
 "Old Dobbin' may have been driven from the thoroughfares of the cities by the gasoline buggies, but he makes a last and gallant stand with the cir GUS, where his intelligence and beauty stands out in bold relief and proves a high spot on the program.
