Gin TIK RAISE IS NEEDED-GANDLER 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. How $3,000,000 Was Spent, E A.

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.

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.

ALA., Sept. 20.—Many j young women of Mobile society, as well : as other persons, of both sexes and in | varying walks of life, were uninten | tional blackface comedians last night. 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 off. that he was forced to appoint men cer tified by the civil service commission.

At no time could Mr. Buckner lead Mr. Waldo to admit that he should have investigated the records of the men appointed.
