RECOUNT RACE
 IN LAST DAY Waldrop Starts With 15- Vote Lead Over
 Copeland

w. J. Waldrop will enter the last day of the race for fifth place on the board of reye.ue with fifteen vote lead over his contender, w. B. Cope land, With but nine ballot boIes to be opened when the committee starts counting on Tuesday morning, Dr. R. F. Lovelady announces that final re- suits will be known during the after noon.
 Waldrop held lead of five over the weekend, and during the morning count picked up five more votes. He dropped back to twelve about two o'clock but by 80 climbed back to fifteen again, where he stayed the rest of the afler- noon. It was the safest margin that he held over Copeland in almost a week; since in fact, he lost his original lead of 143 votes by discovery of mis- takes in the boxes aggregating a net loss of about 120 votes.
 A meeting of the Democratic execu- tive committee of Jefferson County has been called for Friday morning at 10 o'clock by Chairman R. F. Lovelady and Secretary George Whitfield, at which time a formal report of the re- count will be presented.

CITY ORDINANCE
 TO PAVE AVENUE
 WILL BE PASSED
Huey Says County Ready To Act-Early Start
 Indicated

The city commission on Tuesday will pass an ordinance authorizing an im- mediate start on the work of paving First Avenue. President D. E. McLen- don announced Monday.
 McLendon also announced that Thomas E. Huey, of the board of reve- nue, had informed him that the county in all probability would be ready to act in the next few days. A joint session of the city and county boards will be held as soon as Lacey Edmond son returns to the city.
 T am ready to vote for a quick start of the work" Mir. Huey told the com mission president, land I feel sure that my colleagues feel the same way about it." S
 The Birmingham Electric Co.,, last week announced it had withdrawn its plan to park between it's tracks and that it would pave instead. The addi. tional cost will be $150,000, but the company said it did not wish to delay the work and that it wanted to become a "good citizen" of Birmingham.
 The street car company will pave between its tracks; the revenue board will pave the strips on each side of the tracks, and the city already has ac- quired the necessary right of way for widening the avenue.
 The avenue, which is a part of, the Bankhead highway, is to be paved and widened between Forty-first Street and East Lake.

OFFICERS CASE
 AND CITY PROBE FACE GRAND JURY.
Lehman Is Expected To Make Startling Disclos-
 ures On Shortage

Investigatin of the city hall short age, with William Lehman, ex-clerk, in the improvement department of the city, as star witness, and the probe of the shooting of two negresses, Annie Lee Pitts and Bessie Tate, by Traffic Officer J. -E. Phillips, are scheduled for Jefferson county grand jury in vestigation Tuesday morning.
 The grand jury was in session all day Monday hearing the cases of Will liam Gray, who shot and killed Jack Brown at Edgewood several weeks ago, and Ali Brown, negro, alleged to have murdered Kate Crenshaw, an aged ne gress, and robbed her house at War rior, Ala, Saturday night. No .indict- ments have yet been returned.
 Lehman, who a few weeks ago was convicted of embezzlement of city funds while clerk at city hall, has repeatedly asserted that he took only $4,900 of the $7, ,145 which is reported as having disappeared.
 Lehman, it has been rumored, is to make startling disclosures.
 Officer Phillips may not appear be- fore the grand jury Tuesday as sched- uled, because the city hall probe may possibly last all day. Chief witnesses to be questioned are Bessie Tate, the least seriously injured victim of shooting, and Dr. 0. T. Dozier, by whom both of the negresses were em- p1oyed. Al
 Phillips version is that he shot in self-defense, aftre his billy had been knocked out of his hand when he at tempted to arrest the women for dis orderly conduct. He states the women were drinking.

WEATHER MAN T. !.
 IS SURPRISED AT MERCURY.

FVEN the weatherman was sur
 prised Monday at the lowness of
 the official temperature for the day, as recorded at the Fountain Heights weather bureau.
 Other Birmingham residents-the perspiring public, the heat hating hordes and the torrid toilers-have been receiving daily, surprises of this nature since the first hot weather struck the city. Always it appeared hotter by a score Or nor, degrees than the reports give it.
 And the weatherman says now: It is. The explanation of the para dox is that in, the valley the mer- cury likely does rise higher than on the higher levels, such as the one on which the weather bureau station is. located. $ r
 So it is that the weary worker in the business district is always certain that the heat from which, he suffered during the day was greater than the .93, 94 or 95 degrees announced.
 Mondays highest temperature, ac- cording to E. O. Horton, was only. 92 degrees. Continued abnormal hu- midity, caused by saturation of the, ground, is making the days seem much hotter than they really are, he says. sFaf
 S Possible showers were forecast for Tuesday.

A. W. C. WANTS MEN
 FOR BALL TEAMS
Birmingham B District To Be Rep- 7 resented At Camp McClellan

A cry for baseball players to enlist in the national guard units has been raised by officers of the guard.
 When the Birmingham contingents of the organization go to summer camu this year at Camp Mcclellan they hone to have a sufficient number of pro. ficient ball players to insure high honors in the sport.
 Approximately 25 men were taken into the various Birmingham units of the guard during the past week, Capt. Russell F. Walthour, Jr., has an- nounced. Company NJ, machine gun, took in six men, all of whom are re- puted to be able ball players.
 Other companies in this district also have made good progress in filling their ranks, and it is likely that ali Bir- mlngham units will go to the summer camp with full companies. An urgent request for all young men in the Bir- mingham district to enlist in the na- tional guard has been issued by the of- ficers. They stress the point that the men receive pay during the time from now until the camp opens and during the days they spend at camp. Captain Walthour maintains an office at POS Old Postoffice building to give informa- ton regarding enlistments.

SCHOOL PROGRAM
 TO BE DISCUSSED
Education Board To Con- fer With Consulting
 Architect

Another step towards the start of actual work on the school buildings in- cluded in the board of education's pres ent program probably will be made at a meeting of the board Wednesday.
 William B. Ittner of St. Louis recent ly engaged as consulting architect on all school projects, will appear before the board with plans for the five pieces of work now planned. Details of these plans will be discussed by the board, and it is expected that a decision to start the work immediately will be made.
 The projects included are additions to the Phillips, Ensley and Woodlawn high schools and the erection of two new intermediate schools, one of which will be located in the western section of the city and the other in the eastern division.
 Ittner has been working for some time on the plans for the building. During his last visit here he obtained complete statistical information regard ing the number of pupils of each school, the percentage enrolled in various classes and other technical data. Through the use of this material he is to said have completed plans for thoroughly modern and scientific build- ings.

JUNGLE MONARCH "BIG GAME"
Tiger Can Always Be Relied On to
Furnish Sport for the Most Ad-
venturous Hunter.

The tiger is one variety Of game
which is In no danger Of extermina-
ton. Tigers have been hunted for
centuries. They furnished sport to
the ancient Romans, both in the arena
where they faced the gladiators and
In the open field Before that, they
were the game Of great Egyptian mon
archs. II is doubtful whether primi-
tive man was able to kill the tiger at
all.
Today tigers are comparatively easy
game for the wealthy sportsmen who
hunt them with the great double-bar-
relied English rifles carrying express
bullets. A great crowd of beaters US
ually assists at the sport, and drives
the tiger into the open, though occa-
sionally he is killed by watching at the
carcass Of an animal he has killed. Oc-
casionaIly a tiger kills a hunter, but
not often. In India and also in Korea
many unarmed and haif-naked natives
are killed by tigers ever year. In the
war between men and tigers it is hard
to say which is winning.
Tigers are found in almost all parts
of the continent Of Asia, from the trop-
ical jungIes Of India TO the almost arc
tic heights of the mountains In ST.

Worlds Longest Car Ferry.

The new railway ferry line, which
is being planned to run between Eng
land and Sweden, will be the longest
in the world. A tremendous ferry
boat with engines furnishing about
1900 horsepower is TO travel daily
between the two countries. bearing
upon its huge decks freight trains IS
cars in length. Besides this there will
be provisions for takirs travellers
from the first 10 the fourth class, to-
gether with dining rooms, promenades
and other agreeable features. The
tourney requires SO hours. After ar
riring on land the freight train ar
once proceeds upon The English or
Swedish tracks. as the case may be.
Il is obvious that a tremendous saw
ing both in time and in labor can be
thus accomplished.
