WEAKENED A TRESTLE
THIS CHARGE BROUGHT
 AGAINST A NEGRO.
Man Killed in Wreck at Powderly is Identified as Gusty Kaetz, Laborer at Bridge
 Works.

Birmingham. Nov. 16.-(Special) )-Will Morgan, colored, has been arrested, charged with maliciously injuring trls- tie by taking from it portions which weakened it so that engines and cars passing over 1t would go through. The warrant for the negro's arrest was sworn out before Justice c. J. Martin and the preliminary trial will take pl 4ce Nov m ber 20.h. The trestle alleged to have been tampered with is at Leeds, on the Central of Georgia Railroad, about fifteen miles east of Bir rmingham. A few weeks ago a freight train, drawn by two locomotives, went through the trestle. The trestle was forty feet high. The engineer and fir, men on the first engine were so badly injured that they di and other members of the crew wero more or less injured. An inspection of the structure after the wreck l to the theory that the tdgs had been tempered with, and thorough investigation has since been in progress, re- uiting in the arrest of Morgan. The negro denies the allegations.

PROF. HENRY j. COX HERE
HE Is MAKING A TOUR OF WEATHER
BUREAU STATIONS.
VIII Recomme end Additional Room for
the Local Bureau-FOrecasts
for Farmers.

Henry J. Cox. professor of meteorology in
connection with the United States Weather
Bureau, is in the city. having stopped here
on a tour of inspection OF the Weather Blu
reau stations in different Western States.
Professor Cox is located in Chicago. He
speaks highly of the past work of William
T. Blythe, the new local forecaster. Pro-
fessor Cox thinks the present quarters of
the local bureau in the Majestic building
insufficient for the work that is being done
here, and will recommend to the depart
ment that additional room be provided.
During his present tour Professor Cox
visited the station at Cairo, ILL.,, and re-
ports that the people of that section are
much pleased with the river forecasts that
are now being made. Cairo is at the
junction of the Ohio and Mississippi riv-
ers. and that locality is ever on guard
against high waters. The Weather Bureau
keeps the people informed in advance of
the rise and fall of the water, and warns
them when there is danger of floods.
Professor Cox and Mr.. Blythe are both
enthusiastic over the success of the scheme
TO furnish the farmers of the country with
daily forecasts. These are sent the post
masters each morning by telegraph, and
by them are sent out over the rural mail
routes. In Indiana these forecasts are cir
culated among the farmers in many locali-
ties. Professor Cox will probably wind up
his work here to-day.

HELD FOR COMBS MURDER
-FOUR COLORED MEN APPEAR BE-
FORE JUDGE STUBS.
Three of the Men Bound Over With
out BaiI-JOhnsOn's Confession
Other Cases Heard.

In Police Court yesterday James johnson,
Sam Williams Charles Bradshaw and Will
liam Griffin, negroes, were examined and
held to the grand jury for the murder Of
Joel Combs on Saturday night. Johnson
charged with the murder and the 9th
ers with being accessories. Johnson had
previously made confession, telling all Of
the details, which corroborated the stories
told by Griffin. Williams and Bradshaw.
plea of guilty was made, but withdrawn
upon demand Of their attorney, who in
sisted that the men be given an examination.
All but Griffin were bound over without
bail. He was given opportunity to secure
release upon furnishing a bond of $1,000.
but was unable to secure it. Commitments
were ready at the conclusion of the exami-
nation, and they were hurried to the jail,
where they were separated.
The police have strong cases against all
of the men, and, with the possible excep-
lion of Griffin it is thought there will be
no trouble in securing convictions OH the
charge of being accessories to the murder
JohnsOn's father has considerable property
and many friends, and it is thought when
the cases come up for trial a hard fight will
result in an effort to clear Johnson. Yes
terday in court superintendent Hyland and
Captain Gerber were the only witnesses put
on the stand for the State, and they gava
but little of the evidence they have against
the men.

STOLEN FLAG RECOVERED
INFLUENCE OF RELIGION IN RESTOR-
ING IT TO ITS OWNER.
Governor Durbin Highly Gratified to
Again Have Flag of His Regiment
in His Possession.

The restoration of a regimental flag
through the mysterious workings of relig-
ious impulse is the subject of story that
is arousing much interest in state official
circles just now. The flag in question is the
one that adorned the headquarters tent of
Col Winfield r. Durbin, now Governor of
hundred-and-sixty first, in the Spanish
American war was in camp. The flag was
originally presented by the women of
Mount Vernon, Ind, to Company b, of
the One-hundred and-sixty- and by
that company loaned to Colonel Durbin TO
be used at his tent in Camp Mount. When
the misunderstanding first was or
dered TO Jacksonville the flag accompanied
it, and was daily saluted in front of Col.
Durbins tent al that point. Later the
beautiful emblem did similar duty at Sa-
vannah, Ga. When the order came TO the
One-hundred-an d-sixty-firs at the latter
place TO embark for Havana, Cuba, Colonel
Durbin superintended personally the pack
ing of the flag, and himself stenciled the
name of it's destination on the box. Ar
rived at Havana, the camp equipage was
unpacked, but when Colonel Durbin's flag
was sought it could not be found. The
most thorough search failed to bring it to
light The loss created much regret, es-
pecially among the officers and men of
Company b. by whom the silken banner
was highly priced.
Time, however, effaced this feeling, and
the loss of Colonel Durbin's flag ceased to
be even a memory. About two weeks ago
Adiutant General Ward received a letter
from a man residing in Western town
inquiring If the acknowledgements
first Indiana Regiment had lost flag dur
ing the SpaniSh-American war. The writer
of the letter confessed TO having been
tempted by the silken richness of the en-
bem. into stealing it, but he declared that
recently he became converted and his con-
science commanded him TO restore the flag.
General Ward knew nothing of the loss of
the flag al Havana, but upon inquiring of
Governor Durbin was quickly informed of
the incidents related above. The banner is
now lying upon table in the Governor
parIor in the StatehOuSe.

FIFTY MEN GO ON STRIKE
QUIT WORK BECAUSE NEGROES
WERE NOT DISCHARGED.
The HaughviIIe sequel to the Shooting
of Joel Combs by James john
sOn-No Violence.

About fifty employees of the National
Malleable Casting Company, in Haughville.
struck yesterday afternoon because the
foreman refused TO discharge thirty ne
groes. All of the men were employed in
the core making department. The strike
is the direct outgrowth of the shooting of
Joel Combs by James Johnson, colored,
both of whom were employees of the COM
pany.
Racial prejudice has been apparent at
the plant for some time. and there were
several minor outbreaks before the riot and
fatal shooting Saturday night. This latter
affair embittered the white men against
the negroes and fresh fuel was added TO
the flame yesterday morning when George
Faber, white. was discharged The super
intendent claimed that he had been the
cause OF the riot Saturday night. The news
OF Faber's discharge soon spread through
the plant and at noon the white men work
ing in the core department held a meeting
and demanded the immediate discharge of
all the negroes. The superintendent refused
TO accede to the demands OF the white men
and all of them struck after working about
one hour The men were then told that
they were discharged and would not be re-
employed
A meeting was held in the afternoon in
the hall in the rear of John Baist's saloon
at the corner of Warman avenue and Mich
igan street. and another in the hall over
Pat Frederick saloon at 1926 West Michi-
gan street last night. and at both meetings
IL was decided 10 stand firm and rot go
near the plant unless the negroes are dis
charged The men have organized them
selves for the purpose OF holding out
against the negroes. but are acting inde-
pendently of their union.
The white men complain that the ne
groes have caused considerable trouble at
the plant at different times. About a month
ago one OF the negro employees shot at
Rich2rd BrOderick, and il has not been
long since a negro fired into a crowd of
white boys. There were no demonstration
of violence yesterday afternoon or last
night. y police sergeant with a squad of
