in their schools and that in imposing tuition fees. rather than closing the schools they are carrying out the wishes of the people, Besides the patrons of the
 schools will get the full value of their money in the unsurpassed privileges af-
 forded their children The tuition wilr
 begin with last Monday and will be paid
 monthly in all the schools as follows:
 First and second grades, $1 per month;
 third and fourth grades, S1.50 per month;
 month.
 After the present scholastic month, the
 tuition in the high school will be in-
 creased from $2 to s per month
 It is the earnest desire of Superintend-
 ent Phillips and the entire board that tho
 tuition requirements shall not deprive
 any children una ble to pay of the priv
 ileGe of the schools. They hope that the people will respond cheerfully and that
 the public schools will be maintained during the remaining four months of the session, with the same degree of excel
 lence and efficiency as in the past. The board had hoped to be able to make some arrangements without talk ing this step, and no doubt could have done so but for the failure of the senate
 to pass the constitutional convention Dill. The defeat of that measure has
 taken away their last hope of meeting the requirements of the schools without re- sorting to tuition fees. The teachers salaries for the month ending February F have not yet been paid, but the board expects to arrange this matter within a few days.
 As the fees charged will not be suffi- cient to maintain the schools, a committee was appointed tc wait upon the board of mayor and aldermen to request that body to supplement these fees with an appro- priation from the city treasury This committee consists of Messrs. Steiner, Lane and Gray.
 While 1t Is unfortunate that the city is thus hampered financially, the people will cheerfully come to the rescue and will maintain their schools at all haz- ards,

TWO SOUTHERN WITNESSES
To Testify in the Graham Trial-They Like the North, But the South is
 Good Enough for Them

The Anderson, Ind, Evening Bulletin contains the following notice of Ex-Sher- if Morrow:
 Two of the most interesting witnesses on the Graham trial are City Marshal Seary. of Ashland, Ky, and ex-Sheriff George M. Morrow, of Birmingham, Ala. Both are ideal southern gentlemen and peace officers. Calm, collected and quiet to degree that leaves no doubt of the unflinching bravery back of it. Mar shal Seary and MT. Morrow came to An derson Monday, coming in response to summons from the defense in the case being tried. They are here to testify as to the character of Worthington, the man killed by Graham, each having known him. They both very wisely declined to indicate to the public what their evil dence would be, saying they were here as witnesses and from the witness stand was the best place to hear what they had to say. This one thing shows their wisdom as careful and efficient officers.
 Mir Morrow says the north has the wrong idea of mobs in the south, Any officer who can or will get to the place of disturbance in time can prevent a, iynching. Modes of communication are not so many in the south as in the north; consequently, there are times when a mob has done it's work before officers can be informed of the danger and get to the scene of action. There Is one crime in the south which, however, is always punished with immediate hanging or shooting and no questions asked. The crime is rape, and white and black share alike in its memorable demands
 Mr Morrow is enthusiastic over the future of the south. He says Birming- ham has almost recovered from the col

lapse. of the boom, people are out of debt, and the next ten years will show an un- precedented growth in business and man ufacturing in the south. Iron, coal, cli- mate and soil are at their command Iron is now being shipped daily from Birming- ham furnaces to Chicago and Europe. Next week work on a $575, ,0O0 steel mill begins, it having been discovered that the bitumlnous coal of that region can be used for converting iron into steel Next summer there will be two cotton mills erected, and a railroad and mining com pany are arranging to put in a million and a half dollar steel plant. Banks in the south, MT. Morrow says, were never In so healthy a condition as now
 MT Morrow is sound money demo- crat. Speaking of politics, he said a northern republican coming south would be voting the local, that is, county and city, democratic tickets within six months, while a northern democrat might vote the state and congressional republican tickets within the same time. dence in politics in the south than in the north.
 The Birmingham man has number of acquaintances in the north. He visits Petoskey, Mich, every summer and has met several Anderson and Muncie peo- pie. He was at the latter place Tuesday and Wednesday, the guest of A. M. Shon- field, and thinks next to Anderson 1t is as fine a city as he ever saw. He has a daughter who is ai classmate of Miss Nell lie Forkner's at Columbus, O., college, and last evening Mir. Morrow took tea with the Forkners. He has another daughter who is one of the leading ac- tresses with James A. Herne's Shore Acres" company.

 "CHILDREN OF GOD"
The Theme of the Evangelist Last Night
 Large Crowds and Deep Inter- est-Ordinance of Baptism

Evangelist Martins theme last night was Sons of God" He traced the his- tory, character and destiny of the sons of God. Then he took up the final des- tiny of those who rejected the Redeemer, and refused to become the children of God by faith in Christ. His closing de- scription of the meeting of all the child ren of God at last in the heavenly home was profoundly pathetic and realistic. The speaker then called upon all who were determined to live better lives to come and give him their hands, and a great number responded. When the op- portunity was extended to any who wish ed publicly to confess Christ before men, quite a number went forward.
 Many thought the sermon the best of the entire series. The great audience was deeply moved by the eloquent and earnest speaker. The old habit of the lawyer to "cite authorities" fingers still with Mr. mand of Scripture proofs.
 The quartette last night, as we'll as the chorus choir, was much enjoyed.
 The ordinance of baptism was an- nounced for tonight before the evening
 As the meetings draw to a close, the people seem to become more and more interested.
 MT Martin announced that he had been requested to repeat his sermon on "Hor- nets" and would either preach on that subject tonight or Sowing Tares.''
 Services were announced at and 7:30 p. m. daily until Sunday night The song service begins at 2.

 Miss Oln returned to Montgomery yes- terday after a pleasant visit to Misses Isabel and Helen Mushat, on the South Highlands. She made many friends while in the city.
 The Birmingham Art League met in it's studio yesterday afternoon, and arranged for the Poster show on March 16. About $50 posters, consisting of loans from pri- vate collections. including MT. Will H. Bradley's collection of his own work, and work by such famous French artists as Cheret and Aubrey Beardsley, Phil May and others, will be exhibited. Miss M H. Fogarty was elected vice-president of the league.
 The pretty Gibson posters in the show windows announcing the Creche enter tainment next Thursday evening are gems of art. They represent some of the most queenly women and cultured men of Birmingham. Many of them are excellent likenesses. It is really re- markable with what skill and business sagacity the ladies of the "Creche" are conducting the advertising of their en- tertainment. They already have in- spired a keen interest in the coming event, but keep hard at work devoting themselves to the finish of every detail. The women of Birmingham seem to be able to do well everything they under take and in this, their latest enterprise. the ultimate object of which is a home for helpless little ones, they have been particularly clever and capable. Among the ladies interested in the Creche are Mrs. Robert Cunningham, Mrs. James Bowron, Mrs. H. B. Gray, Mrs. Chas. O.. Locke, Mrs. J. T. Nixon, Mrs. Sig Steiner, Mrs Albert Adler Miss Bertha Gelders, Miss Florence Lopez, Miss Flora Solo, mon, Miss Ola Roden, Miss Kate Nor row, Miss Mamie Pearson, Miss Hannah Elliott, Misses Kate and Sarah Rogan, Miss Mollie Jordan Miss Daisy Moody, and a hundred others.

\ STREET GAR COLLISION An Open Switch Comes Near Causing Serious Damage. SEVERAL SLIGHTLY BRUISED Side of One Car Broken and the Front
 End of the Other Nearly
 Torn of,

About 7:S0 clock last night two South and North Highlands cars had collision on Twentieth street. near Avenue F. Fortunately no one was seriously injured, although the cars were badly dishgured.
 Car No. II, northbound, in charge of Motorman J. NJ. Collins, met car IT, in charge of Motorman o. C. Greeley. No. 1T was going south and running at high rate of speed.
 The Avondale cars take a switch near the corner of Avenue F. and pass to the track on the east, where they take an- other switch in order to proceed up the avenue. An Avondale car had turned the first switch in advance of No. F, thus leaving the switch closed. Motorman Greeley knew the condition of the switch, and, as usual, attempted to shut off the current and apply the brakes. The con troller of the current in some way hung and the car dashed into the siding or switch just as No. Il was passing. A collision ensued.
 When Greeley recognized that he was poweress to avert the threatened danger he called to Collins to look out" The latter hoping to avoid the inevitable, turned on the full current, and tried to pass the point of danger. He was unsuc- cessful in passing, but his quick action no doubt prevented serious injury to himself and passengers.
 As the cars came together Motorlnan Collins was thrown over the front end of his car and landed several yards away. Several men on the platform of both cars were thrown off and those inside the car jostled around promiscuously. The lady passengers were greatly frightened, as both ears were well filled.
 MT. Porter Walker had his face and hands slightly cut with flying glass, and MT. Lsnier Yancey, who was caught In the corner of car No IT by the jam, had his arm and elbow slightly injured. Sev- eral others were cut by the glass or bruis- ed in falling from the cars.
 The left front window and side of car No. Il sustained the shock and were broken and splintered. Car No. F had its front end almost torn off several panes of glass were brogen and the pro- jecting top carried away. The boxes con- taning the motormen's change were all most emptied of their contents. Later most of the money was recovered.
 Other cars soon arrived and in short while the tracks were opened up and travel resumed. delay of about thirty five minutes was caused by the trouble.

LENAGHAN- N-MARTIN CASE.
Nearly All of the Interested Parties Have Departed-Mrs. Lenaghan Placed
 in the Asylum.

Yesterday afternoon Judge c. G. Butt left his hotel and remarked that he would take the Louisville and Nashville south bound 4 o'clock train for Florida. If such be the case the characters in the Lenaghan- Martin case have nearly ali disappeared. W. O. Martin is now the only one directly interested in the city He is still in prison and his case has been reset for hearing this morning.
 MT. W. H. Garner returned yesterday from Tuscaloosa, where he placed Mrs Lenaghan in the asylum. Upon arrival in that place MT. Garner and his charge were met by Judge Butt, the woman's s brother. All arrangements had been made and she was taken direct to the hos pital
 When she realized where she was go- ing she seemed agitated with conflicting emotions. She turned to her companion and in a clear, calm voice said: eff am crazy hope they will keep me here until I am entirely cured" Later on, just before MT. Garner left the office of the hospital Mrs. Lenaghan asked for him. She took his hand and, thank ing him for his kindness and attention to her during her stay in his charge, told him goodbye Though tears rolled down her cheeks her voice never faltered nor her lips never trembled. Her actions, far more than the few words she uttered, told of the conflicting fears and hopes and doubts as to her future and she seemed to think that she was bidding a long farewell to the great outer world. The scene is said to have been touch ingly sad one.
 Judge Butts returned to this city yes- terday at noon and, after having dinner with friend, announced his intention of going back to Florida.
 Martin will probably be discharged to- day and the case assigned to oblivion, while the main characters will in a short while fade out of the minds of the pub lic

CARDOVA COTTON MILL.
Four-Fifths of the Funds Raised and Work on Building to Begin
 Next Month.

Col B. M. Long and his friends at Cor dova have been made exceedingly glad by the news from Massachusetts that the building of the large cotton mill at Cordova will be begun next month. About four-flfths of the funds wherewith to build and equip the mill will, it is said, be furnished by the wealthy Massachu- setts corporation (who own extensive and prosperous mills in that state), who de- cided last year to locate a big modern cotton mill at Cordova. Col Long, Messrs. Musgrove and their associates have spent much time and been to con- siderable expense in inducing these east ern people to erect large mill at Cor dova, and the State Herald knows 1t voices the sentiments of the people of Alabama in thanking them most heartily for their efforts and success in bringing it about

Chris Coleas, who is a Greek instead of an Italian, and who shot and killed his wife, Hattie Henry, early Wednesday night, is still alive at the Hillman hos pital At late hour last night he was reported as sleeping quietly. with a chance in his favor of recovery.
 The body of the murdered woman re- mains at the morgue of the Warner Smiley company, on Twentieth street, and no arrangements have been made as to it's final disposition. A great many of the dead woman's former friends and companions in sin called to view the re- mains.
 The sympathies of the Greeks and oth- CTS seem to be with Coleas, and 1t is understood they will render all needed assistance to him.

WILL CHARGE TUITION.
The Board of Education Met Yesterday and so Decides-The Necessity De-
 plored. But Can't Be Helped.

It has come at last. It was simply a question whether the public schools of Birmingham should close their doors. or charge tuition fees. At 8 meeting held yesterday afternoon, the board of education resolved to charge tuition fees in all the schools as a last resort.
 Theaboard of education have can vassed the question for weeks, anc every member, deplores the necessity eor such action. They recognize the fact, how ever. that the people feel deep interest
