YOUNG ATTORNEY
 SHOT BY WOMAN Mrs. TGfnham Shoots and
 Wounds Mir. Harsh 1T SMACKS OF SENSATION She Says lie Tried to Force Ills At tentions Upon Her and When He Tried 10 Come in Her House
 She Shot Him.
II SMACKS OF SENSATION

Harry Harsh, young attorney, was shot ard slightly wounded by Mrs. Anna Turrham at her residence in South Twen- ty-sixth street early yesterday morning.
 Five shots were fired, two of them striking MT. Harshs legs and the other three imbedding themselves in the floor of the front verandah of the Turnham residence. Immediately after the shooting Mrs. Turnham walked to the sheriff's office and surrendered.
 She says that Mir. Harsh has been pay ing her more or less attention for sev- eral months, and that it had grown to be a great annoyance He had called at her home several times and refused ta stay away whcn ordered to do so on penalty of being shot
 Mrs. Turnham says that Mir. Harsh called up her telephone yesterday morn ing and 1t was answered by the house girl. The girl told her that MT. Harsh used very bad language to her and Mrs. Turnham then went to the telephone and told MT. Harsh never to call her tele- phone again. She also told the central of- flee not to give MT. Harsh the connection if he wanted to call her number. MT. Harsh heard this last direction to the central office and became very angry, so Mrs. Turnham says. She expected him to call at her home after the telephone episode, and prepared for him.
 Mrs Turnham says that Harsh did come to her house as she expected and rang the door bell. She went to the door, pistol in hand, and partly opened it. MT. Harsh then tried to force himself in and, Mrs. Turnham says, tried to grasp the re- volver which she held. After a struggle she pointed the weapon at his legs and fired five times, two of the shots taking effect.
 MT. Harsh was only slightly wounded and walked to a carriage nearby and rode away. A tour of the city hospitals last night failed to find him and nothing can be learned of his side of the case.
 Mrs. Turnham is the wife of J. M. Turn ham, a machinist. She is an attractive brunette of about 2S years of age. She was one of the candidates for the span of horses given away by the State Fair Association to the most popular woman in Alabama.
 It is said that the acquaintanceship be- tween MT. Harsh and Mrs. Aurnham grew out of a business transaction some months ago when she was conducting a small grocery business in Avenue F, near Twen- ty-sixth street. He was employed as her attorney and was given several accounts for collection.
 After being arrested Mrs. Turnham gave bond in the sum of $500 to appear be- fore Justice Abernathy for preliminary trial on next Tuesday.
 MT. Harsh is well known young at torney of this city and is married. His wife is not in the city at present.

POSSIBILITIES
 OF BIRMINGHAM An Interesting Article Printed

 Center of the WorId-ls
 Yet Tn Its Infancy.
GREAT FUTURE BEFORE US

In a recent issue of the Baltimore Man ufacturers' Record, c. FA z. Caraeristi the iron and steel expert, contributes an Intensely interesting article on the possl- bilities of the Birmingham district.
 He describes the mineral section thus
 '"rhe handiwork of an Onnipotent Pow CT has been illuminated by the lash of hu- man conception and force to the serv- ices and needs of our age, and this in so short lapse of time as to startle the mining and industrial world and revolu- tionize those very elements that have made the existence of our present civiliz- ation a possibility Not having stopped in Birmingham for very many years, almost shuddered when I was asked to lie over at this point, and so changed is the scene that dislike to leave it. I write this because know that there are many people who have not been here since the early eighties who feel as felt, and I am glad to disillusion them. It is so unlike the Birmingham of the past and the other great mining and iron and coal-producing centers of America and Europe, that one asks himself many times over if really he is not mistaken in his whereabouts. And the end is not yet.
 Actual Possibilities.
 ''The actual possibilities of this city can not be estimated until at least 1920. We may make ourselves believe we know them, but I fear we are mistaken. be- cause there are industries that are pre- eminently adapted to the Birmingham district that so far have not even been mooted-cemmercial and industrial propo- sitions that can only come as by-issues or others. A few to point: The manufac- ture of novelties and cheap ''made-in-Ger- many'' hardware; paper mills as soon as you have suitable water; the manufac- ture of oil-well supplies, farming imple- ments on large scale, automobiles, trac- ton engines, locomotives for the Spanish American markets, mills for the working of ramie and other fiber, carpet factories, mining and quarrying machinery, petro- leum-burning devices, etc.
 ''There is no reason why Alabama should not supply the rails and equip ments to the whole of the South and Central American and West Indian rail- roads. In those regions, where exist vast empires of neglected wealth and territory, capital must turn, and railroads and other permanent Improvements of public utility must be undertaken. And where better than in Alabama can King Iron, together with all that it is capable of constructing, be had? Aside from iron and steel tand steel here is in it's semi i-neglected infancD there is demand in South America alone for s5, 900, 900 tons of coal per year"
 Pig Iron Production.
 MT. Conacristi further along in the ar ticle has the following to say concerning the production of pig iron:
 Regarding the amount of pig iron pro duced in Alabama, 90 per cent of which is claimed for the Birmingham district, quote the following from the proceedings of the Birmingham Commercial Club:

THE RIO DE JANEIRO.
John B. Roach Says She Had Not
Water-tight Bulkhcads.

Chester, Pa, Feb. 2S,--The steamship
City Of Rio de Janeiro was one Of a
fleet of Pacific Mail steamships built at
the Roach shipyard In this city, al
though she was not contracted for by
the Pacific Mail company at the time
OF her building.
In 1877 the late John Roach conceived
the idea that fleet Of first class Amer
ican ships running to South American
ports would build up American trade in
that section and prove a profitable in
yestment and he organized company
among his friends and built and
equipped two fine ships for the trade as
his share Of the capitalization. It was
believed that Congress would aid the
enterprise by giving the line a subsidy
for carrying the mall, and the new
ships, City OF Rio de Janeiro and City
of Para. were built for the service.
The City Of Rio de Janero was
launched on March G. 1873, and just one
month later, on April 6, the City Of
Para was launched This was a great
occasion in Chester, and President
Hayes and several members Of his cab
met were present as the guests Of the
veteran ship builder President Hayes
stood on the deck Of the CITY Of Rio
de Janeiro and from this point Of van
tage saw the Para slide down the ways.
In speaking Of the loss Of the City OF
Rio de Janeiro John D. Roach, presi-
dent Of the ship building company
said:
THE rapid sinking OF the ship was
due TO the feet that she was not built
as modern ships are with water tight
bulkheads dividing the vessel up into
comparatively small compartments, At
the time the Rio was built this prac-
tlce Of insuring the safety III vessels
had not been developed as Il is today
The Rio was a staunch and stea-.y ship
splenddly constructed and had proved
her seaworthiness In dozen typhoons,
but the lack of water tight bulkheads
was a fatal defect in case the ship
struck n reef"
