 6-MONTH TERM
 IN COUNTY JAIL
Former Prohibition Off cials File Notice Of Ap-

W. E. Ford, together with J. A Wilson and Lee Moody, two of his agents at the time he was Alabama's assistant prohibition director, were each sentenced to six months in the county Jail and fined $100 by JudEs w. I. Gr6bh Wednesday afternoon on a. charge oi conspiracy to violate prohibition laws.
 Notice of. appeal was immediately entered by counsel for the sentenced trio, and it was said improbable that the terms will be begun before next fall even should the appellate circuit court at Montgomery sustain this yer dict.
 The court sentence followed the over ruling of a motion by the defendants for a new trial. In submitting this motion counsel centered their attack largely upon R. B. Doe, chief govern ment witness at the trial month ago, They also stressed "new evidence late ly come to light which was dismissed as "flimsy" by c. B. Kennamer,~ districa attorney, in his argument against set ting aside the jury's verdict.
 Unpleasant Duty
 Judge Grubb, in passing the sentence upon the three men, termed it an s1un- pleasant duty" and said had 1t moi been for the regulations and records while they were in office he would have made the term of longer nature
 The sentencing of Ford, Wilson uand Moody marks the climax of disclosures which shook the foundation of law en- forcement in Alabama little more than year ago. The trio were charged by the grand jury with disposing of l5s quarts of bonded liquor in violation of the prohibition laws.

IMPORTS FOR CITY SHOW BIG INCREASE Duty On Ore Is Chief Cause For
 Jump, Says Burke

A stupendous increase in imports for the sub-port of Birmingham, district of Mobile, caused chiefly by the duty on ore which became effective last year, is shown in an annual report made pub lie Wednesday by J. F. Burke, deputy custom collector stationed here.
 For 1922 the valuation totaled $90,- S56 while the sum for last year touched S197 ,444. $
 While ore is held largely responsible for this gain, MT. Burke says it is also a healthy reflection of the activity of all ports during the last year. Books, sporting goods, earthenware, sugar ma chinery, cotton goods, jewelry, silks, laces and embroidery are some of the articles imported by Birmingham.

SPRING IS HERE! DRIVE IS OPENED BY DOG CATCHER

Jip sat on the top step of the back porch, his nose pointed high, the while he strummed on his stom- aeh with hind foot in a vain effort to make life bur1ensome to a flea.
 Piercing hewls from around the cexner brought lips cars up, his nose down and his launches to a 1eveI with his shoulders. There was a sympathetic growi or tTo. then a vclIey of barks as he raced down the steps to the front fence, adding his excited yells te ekA fading cries.
 Curiosity was too much for him. He hopped the fene and took out after the source of SO much poig- nant distress.
 Three blocks away he saw a wagon packed full of dogs. lip had never seen so many dogs in such a small space before, so went to inves- tigate. As he reached the side of the wagon net settled over him. The hewildered dog was bundled in on the other scuffiing, scared ami malls and the wagon drove on for the hext-
 Birmingham has taken the neces- sary steps to take over from the Hu- smaae society a wire cage. The cage cost originally $500. The city got it for $150.
 Dogs are put in the wire cage, an electric current is turned on. and then the dog begins chasing rabbits over the clouds, or whatever it is good dogs do after they sever connec- tions with things mundane.
 In brief, the dog catcher has started his spring cleanup of un- tagged eanines, and those found without the little brass layaliere en- titiinx them to existence. soon cease to exist.
