CITY HAS GAINED DECISIVE VICTORY Citizens Will Make Great Saving on Water IS END OF- LONG FIGHT Former Mayor Drennen Believes the City Should Go a Step Further and Fix the Rates for Water.

The decision of the supreme court in favor of the city, in the case of the Birmingham Water Works company vs. the city of Birmingham, which was an appeal from the decision of the city court of Birmingham, was a victory for City Attorney Edward D. Smith, and will save the citizens several thousands of dollars annually, it is said. Former Mayor W. M.

Drennen is greatly pleased with the decision, but says that he is not surprised. Eight years ago he made a minority report to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, stating that the Water Works company was not living up to their contract to supply the city with pure and wholesome water. The city won out after a long fight, and filtration plants were installed at an expense of $300,000. He later took up the matter of the high rates the people were being charged for water, believing that it was Illegal to make an charge for sprinkling. He was upheld this view by City Attorney extra, Smith, and by a test case they began the fight which ended last Tuesday in the decision handed down by the supreme court.

Mr. Drennen is delighted with cess of the fight he started, and believes the city should go a step further and fix the charges for water. He believes that the Board of Aldermen has the legal right to do this, and thinks it should file suit in order that a test case might be made of it. City Attorney Smith believes that the city has gained a decisive victory and that the citizens of Birmingham will now receive the privileges they are entitled to in the consumption of water. As a result of the decision of the gupreme court.

citizens of Birmingham will no longer charged meter rates the, for sprinkling their lawns or flower gardens; reception halls shall not be counted as rooms in fixing the rates on dwellings; meters cannot be installed without the consent of the consumers; the Water Works company can no longer make a private contract for meters on residences if that contract amounts to a price higher than the flat rate; rates for more than one dwelling cannot be charged in cases where two or more families are living 1 in the same house; meter rates cannot be charged to persons whose residences were outside the city limits when the contract was made it they have since come into the city.

District No. 20, yesterday was held behind closed doors. The convention convened at 1:30 p. m. in the Knights of Columbus hall, and after the committee on officers' reports had made its report, the body went into executive session.

The motion to go into executive session was made by Delegate Adam Pow, and it was adopted without a dissenting vote. After deliberating for several hours over the report of the committee on resolutions and other committees the convention adjourned to meet again this morning at 9 o'clock. Today's session will probably be behind closed doors. It is understood that the convention has not yet taken up the report of the scale committee. This will probably be reached today, and the indications are that the discussions over this matter will be long drawn out.

The committee on officers' reports praised very highly the annual report presented to the convention by President Ed Flynn, Secretary and Treasurer J. L. STREET PREACHER IS UNDER ARREST CANADIAN HOLINESS MINISTER ARGUES WITH JUDGE FEAGIN. THE CITY CODE AND THE BIBLE. JUDGE LECTURES PREACHER.

Because he refused to move on when told to do so by Officers Johnston and Burke, John Smith, a street preacher, was arrested and taken before Judge Feagin yesterday afternoon. A charge of blocking the streets was placed against him and he was lodged in the city jail to await trial today. When brought before Judge Feagin, Smith, who says he is from Canada and is 25 years of age, opened a gmall Bible which he carries with him and argued that scriptures gave him authority to preach in the highways and hedges. Judge Feagin called for the city code and taking text therefrom locked horns, SO to a speak, with the young Canadian on the point of evangelical doctrine. The judge argued that preaching on the street was commendable, but directing the preacher to his own book he pointed to the command of Christ when he told his followers to subject themselves to the laws of the land.

Smith' charged in a spirit of apparent antagonism that the Salvation army was allowed to preach on the streets without molestation. "Yes," replied the judge, "but if they block the streets and are told to move they obey at once. Preaching on the street is no crime, but it is against the law of this town to block the street and refuse to move when ordered to do so." "The followers of Christ in olden times were cast into prison and persecuted for His sake." said the Canadian preacher, "and I glory in this persecution which likens me unto Him." "You want to go to jail then, do you?" replied Judge Feagin. "I am ready to go it that is your decision." "Officer, put this man in jail. There he will have a fine opportunity to preach, and in one of the most fruitful fields in this city.

And, too, young man, you will have time and opportunity to reflect upon that spirit of gentle submission so kindly and justly taught by that Christ you claim to represent." Smith claims to be of the "Holiness' order. Epworth League Social. An interesting social will be given this evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.

M. Dyer, West Highlands, by the Epworth League of the Simpson Methodist Episcopal church. This is to be the first of a series of entertainments toward raising money for the new church fund. Those wishing to go will take the Owenton car. AMUSEMENTS East Lake Casino.

Reserved seats for the performance can be had at Burnett's cigar store on Twentieth street and First avenue. MAY DECIDE NOT TO GRANT REQUEST Weather Observatory Site Before the Park Committee OPPOSITION DEVELOPS Mayor Does Not Think the Advantage to City Worthy of the Concession--Chairman Cooper Talks.

The indications are that the City Council will not grant space in one of the public parks of the city as a site for the weather observatory which the department at Washington propose. to build in Birmingham. This matter has been before the municipal authorities for some time past, and it is now in the hands of the park committee, of which Alderm.an B. H. Cooper of the Fifth ward is the chairman.

The matter will probably be acted upon at the next meeting of the committee, which will be held prior to the semi-monthly meeting of the City Council, next Wednesday night. Congressman Underwood took this matter up with the mayor about two months ago. A few days ago he called at the city hall and the mayor that the 1 department informed, Washington was anxious to ascertain if the city proposed to grant the concession. "It seems to me that the advantage derived by Birmingham would be small compared to the concession," said the Mayor yesterday afternoon in discussion the matter. "As I understand it, the department will require a space of about two hundred feet, and that will take up a large part of anyone of our public parks.

It has been suggested that a space be allotted the government in a park belonging to the city at Fountain Heights, but this proposition will probably not be seriously entertained. The government wants a site either in West End or Capitol park." "I voted against granting the concession when the matter came before the City Council several weeks ago," said Barbour of the park committee. "Our parks are for the public, and I do not think that any space should be granted for' buildings of any kind. The matter is to come up before my committee shortly, and it will be thoroughly investigated before any recommendations are made to the City Council." Another matter to come before the park committee at its meeting will be the final disposition of the Spanish cannon which stood for several years on the stone pedestal in Capitol park at the head of Twentieth street. The cannon was removed several months ago, when the monument to the Confederate soldiers and sailors was put up in the park.

Since then the relic has been lying on its side in the park. The cannon will, probably be set up- in Highland circle at Five Points. The street forces are now busily engaged in cutting the reeds and grass, and otherwise beautifying the public parks of Pirmingham. This work is being done under the direction of Street Commissioner McCartin. RAILROAD WORLD, D.

Smith and Mayberry of Birmingham, and Burns of New York. Vice President B. L. Greer and Clemo, the other officers. The following recommendation in the annual report of the president was concurred in 1 by the committee on officers' reports: "I further desire to call your attention to a very unpleasant feature that seems to become more general throughout the district, that is the uncalled for suspension of work at mines where grievances might exist without making the necessary efforts to adjust such grievance and especially without the consent or action of the district board, and as this does not tend to conserve the best interest of the miner or the operator, I think this convention should insert in our district constitution a clause which might aid in abolishing such practice in the future.

The report of the committee was adopted by the convention. The joint scale convention Mine Workers and the operators of the Birmingham district employing union men will be held next Monday at 10 o'clock in the Knights of Columbus hall, This convention is called for the purpose of agreeing on a working scale for the year beginning July 1.

Woodlawn's New Telephone System. The People's Home Telephone company is rapidly completing its new Woodlawn exchange and will have it in operation by July 1. This will be the best and most up-to-date telephone exchange of its size in the district and the company is leaving nothing undone to insure its Woodlawn patrons a first-class telephone service. The switchboard is manufactured by the Stromberg Carlson company, and is of their interest and most approved design. The poles are high so that the wires will not be interferred with by shade trees or other obstructions and cables have been largely used to further protect the wires.

The switchboard will be connected with the Birmingham exchange by twenty-five copper trunk circuits, thus insuring quick service with any of its patrons in the Birmingham district. The exchange is located in the Wood block, immediately above the postoffice, thus being located in the most central part of the town. Woodlawn is growing much faster than any of the other suburbs of Birmingham as shown by the Commercial club report. and the company has arranged ample accommodations for EL large list of subscribers. The People's Home Telephone company has made arrangements to connect with the lines of the Independent Long Distance Telephone company, now being built, and within a year will have long distance connections wit.
