Municipality Is in Bad Financial
Way—Revision of Budget
> Is Begun.
•
Aide, man John S t'nndlei. chairman
of the council finance committee, was
at work today with Comptroller Gold
smith prepailng a tentative revision of
the municipal budge.
Alderman Candler said the city was
•trained financially. All the depart
ments are crying for more money. He
said the only means lie saw fur the city
to get its- finances adjusted was to laise
the tax rate from 1.25 per cent to 1.5"
per cent.
Indications are that ail the "ms',
egge" provided in the budget in Janu
ary will be taken out when the new
budget is presented to council in Octo
b' The October budget is merely a
readjustment of the January budget.
Funds are running so sho:t that many
of the appropriations made just to start
improvements will be recalled.
Thousands of dollars was thu.- dis
tributed. Much of the money is lying
idle without any chance of it being
spent this year. It is very uncertain
which will b° recalled. Every council
man will strenuousl.ooppose the recall
of any funds from his pet schemes.

THROWING JAVELIN
IS NOW “COMING IN”
AS WOMAN’S SPORT
LONDON, Sept. 20.—Javelin throw
ing is "coming in" ns a sport for
women.
.Miss Dora Swinburne Roberts, a
y oung Oxford girl, is England's pioneer
lady javelin thrower, and she can throw
the javelin, which is eight feet long,
steel-tipped, and weighs over a pound
and a half, a distance of 78 feet 6
inches.
The javelin is held al abouuthe point
of balance, and the thrower sprints for
about twenty yards uplo what may be
ailed the "take off" mark, on the grass,
where the javelin leaves the li ml.
At the mark u. sudden .stop is made,
and the thrower—giving it a iwist a
it leaves the hand—hurls the javelin
with left leg thrust forward ami the
rest of the body bent backward, to get
the greater impetus.
It is against the rules to fall over
the line, as the novice invariably does,
before the javelin touches the ground
at the oiiier end.
Javelin throwing is one of the best
and most graceful exercises that could
be devised,” said F. A. M. Webster, the
English champion javelin thrower, who;
Is coaching .Miss Roberts.
It is especially useful to women as
It develops the muscles of the neck and
back as no other sport does. One must
also be a good sprinter, jumper and
vt ight throwei before one egn succeed
as a javelin thrower. Also it Is en
tirely inexpensive, und can be practiced
in n ai ly any pjm,

Absurd Rules at
; Terminal Station.
A striking illustration of the absurd
lengths to which a blind adherence to
technical rules may be carried was fur
nished at the Terminal station yester
day to the indignation of a small crowd
of onlookers.
A youth, who had barely missed
death In a motorcycle accident and
was badly crippled, was being wheeled
in a chair by a friend, accompanied by
his aged aunt, who was taking him
back to her home in Alabama. At the
gate leading to the train section the
three wete stopped.
The man aiding his injured friend
had no ticket, and there was no time
to get a permit to pass through It
would be necessary for some one to
help the cripple aboard the train. The
white-haired aunt pleaded with th ■
Terminal agent that the young man b>
allowed to go through to help her
nephew. The man added his plea. The
invalid added his. They were all vain.
“Another party waiting behind you.”
said the ticket man. not deigning tn
answer the appeals.
The aged aunt was ready to weep
with indignation, but the railroad man
remained unmoved, a negro was final
ly summoned and In* wheeled the chai’
on down to the .train while the friend :
who had been barred wasted the best!
part of e select vocabulary on a deaf!
railload and its deafer servants.

I. MOBILE. ALA., Sept. 20.—Many

The trouble happened in the waters
of Mobile bay when numerous bathing
parties went in for an evening dip. A
big lighter, laden with creosote and
beached during the recent storm, had
capsized and emptied its black contents
into the water.
At Monroe park and elsewhere, how
ever, there was not light enough to see
the floating scum, and it was not until
the first bathe: s began emerging that
they found themselves coated with, a
tariy substance that would not wash

tified by the civil service commission.
Specific cases were given by Attorney
Buckner of bad appointments, and the

his defense that he was obliged to ac
cept the men given to him by the civil
service commissioners.
At no time could Mr. Buckner lead
Mr. Waldo to admit that he should
have investigated the records of the
men appointed.
