STRIKERS MURDER

Three Persons Killed and

ingham, Ala., Miners.
LYNCHING BEE THREATENS
Indignant Citizens Search For
Those Committing Outrage said
to be Inexcusable
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 10—Three
innocent persons were killed and
seven wounded yesterday afternoon
by strikers who discharged a volley
at a passenger train on the Mineral
Railroad. This act on the part of the
miners has aroused the greatest in
dignation and if the identity of the
perpetrators can bo definitely ascer
tained a lynching is almost certain.
Since the strike was called the
strikers have boen more or less turb
ulent and on one occanion they
stormed a train load of strike breakers
but the act of yesterday was entirely
uncalled for as the only purpose was
that of revenge on the railroad for
carrying striko breakers. Thoro were
no strike breakers on the train fired
into nor was there anything to give
the strikers the impression that there
was.

TOWN COUNCIL IS
FACING PROBLEMS
Business Wen ask PrivUone
of Installing Gasoline
Lighting Plants.
SALOON MEN WANT CENSUS
Whether or not Desires of Citizens
Shall be Granted is Matter
of Dispute.
Two petitions coining before the
town council last night have given
the mombors of that executive body
Home tiling to ponder concerning,
and further more promise to result in
a pretty mix-up before Dually de
ckled. The petitions in question are
one signed by a committee of liquor
dealers asking that a census be taken
to the effect, that a reduction in the
license may be obtained, and the
other thnt ordinance .»'o. SO be ho
amended that it will permit the use of
gasoline lighting |>hmts. Both peti
tions wore referred to committees
and will be acted ui>on at a meeting
of the council to be held next Mon
day night.
It is the potition with regard to the
gnsolino lighting plants that bids fair
to cause trouble, for at least one
momber of the council, Whitley, is
opposed to its being granted and he
said so last night. Edmund Smith
presented the petition, which is signed
by noarly ovory business man up and
down McKinley street, and in the do
ing he declared his belief that ordin
ance No. 30 is invalid inasmuch as it
gives tho right to use gasoline for
manufacturing purposes and, particu
larly provides that dentists may use
it. Mr. Smith declared before the
council that tho ordinance is, in his
estimation, one of discrimination and
ho advised granting the petition say
ing that so doing "may prevent ex
pense to tho town and to others."
Tho saloonmeu believe that tho
town has less than 1,000 inhabitants
and if a census proves this belief cor
rect tho license is reduced from
$1,000 to $500 a year. There are
several licenses expiring within a
month and it is desired to have the
question settled before that time.
This petition was referred to tho
license and revenue committee, and
the one having to do with tho gaso
line question to the police and liro
protection eommitteo.
Tho council accepted the bid of
Jamos Mitchell for handling garbage
and othor refuse, the acceptance car
rying with it appoinment as ofllcial
garbage movor. Mitchell's rates are:
family privios, 75 cents a month;
clubs and hospitals, $1.50 a month:
Garbage, one barrol, 50 cents, two or
more up to wagon load, 75 cents.
Special rates for saloons. Just to
show that they do not believe in
trusts tho cotmcilmen granted the
application for a license made by J.
O. North who is at present in the
garbage business.
