SEVERAL ARRESTS

Probability of Such Action in
 Connection With
THE RECENT COLLISION
At East Birmingham, Whereby One Woman Was Killed and Other Per sons Were Injured-coroner's In.
 vestlgatlon Now Going On.

The Investigation of the trolley car and train collision at East Birmingham Thursday morning by Acting Coroner H. B. Abernathy will be concluded this morning. and it is possible that rather sensational results will follow. It is said to be possible that arrests of the notorman and engineer will be made.
 The acting coroner's investigation was resumed yesterday morning in the court room of the Circuit Court and contin- ued throughout the forenoon. A large number of witnesses were examined, all of whom gave rather conflicting testi- mony, though said to be in the main dangerous to the engineer and motorman.
 From statements made by Justice Ab- ernathy and several members of the Jury it is probable that this verdict will re- fleet upon more than one man connected with the collision and will result in the arrest of more than one man. Nothing definite would be stated by anyone of the jurymen, however
 The burial of old Aunt Mattie,'s, who was killed In the collision, took place yesterday near Irondale The body was laid away through the efforts of rela- tives and was conducted from the estab- Hshment of Green, Taylor & Co>

OFFICER KILLED A
 NEGRO PRISONER Deputy Constable McGrady
 Fired Fatally AND SLEW UNARMEO MAN Poor Devil Seemed to Draw a Pistol Which He Didn't Possess, and
 So There Is Jefferson
 County Funeral.
AND SLEW UNARMED MAN

Jake Peterson, a negro man, was shot day afternoon by Deputy Constable Tom McGrady, 1t is alleged. The latters , friends claim the homicide was an act of ] self-defense. The coroner has made an investigation of the affray and has stated the act was of but little provocation. The killing occurred at the furnace where Peterson was being held under arrest, and 1t is said to have resulted krom an attempt by McGrady to place ihandcuffs on the negro. The officers friends claim that the negro made an at- tempt to draw a revolver, and when ne ,dd so he was shot. No weapon was i found in the pockets of the dead man. 1 Coroner Paris made an investigation of ] statement regarding 1t:
 '"rhe negro was arrested and taken to fhe furnace office, where he stated he could make bond. There, 1t is said, he began to edge away from the officer as if 10 run When ordered to stop this he 1,laced lis right hand behind his back He was then ordered to throw up his hands, and upon failure to do so was shot His left hand was lifted, but he kept the right hand behind him and was jerking it as if to draw pistol from pocket"
 By others, 1t is said, different story is told of the homicide. The statement Is to the effect that the negro was commanded to raise his hands in order that handcufs might be placed on his wrists The offi- cer according to his story, thought he was slow about doing the bidding, and consequently he shot him.
 i, McGrady has not yet been arrested nor had he surrendered to the sheriff at late hour last night

THE MARRIED MEN
 TO BE PROTECTED
In Their Labor at the NickIe Plate Mines at Brook
 side

Notice has been given the miners em- ployed at the Nickle Plate mine at Brook side by the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company that after August employment will be given only the married men of the mines. The notice created g. sensation when 1t was made and the miners will hold meeting today to discuss the mat ter.
 It is stated by local officers of the Miners Union that the reason for the an nouncement was not given the miners They therefore have supposed it to result from an intention of the company to pro- tect all miners with families and also to eliminate young men. who are said to be unwilling to listen to discussions on ques- tions of differences.
 At the office of the company in Bir- mingham the question would not be dis cussed, but 1t was intimated that enough coal and ore was being obtained from other points to allow the gradual discon- tinuance of work of this mine, but that the company would protect all married men as long as 1t was possible to give them work The order was issued for that reason It is possible that it will not be effective for many months, but no state ment other than that the question could only be settled in the future would be made,

Six of the steel furnaces are in commission this week. and although the use of hot metal from the pig iron fur naces has been temporarily discontin the output is large. Additional furnaces are being refined and prepared for opera tions by the first of next week, and 1t Is expected that the output will be rapidly increased. Several material improve- ments have been-made in the melting, de- partment recently. which will very great ly facilitate the workings of that, depart- ment, which Is considered the most im- portant in connection with the operations of the entire plant. With the.Iarger num- Der of furnaces in blast the rolling mill and rod and wire mills have been taxed to their capacity to keep up with the pace. The latter mills are running or day turn only.
 A meeting was held on last evening ai Mayor Scott's office for the purpose oi making the final arrangements for the entertainment of the International Typo graphical Union, which will visit here on their tour of this district. A warm re- ception will await their arrival.

 Work on this new place means the em- ployment of several hundred men at pres ent It also means the addition of another great manufacturing industry to the large number already in the Birmingham dis trict. The completion of the plant will further give employment to about twelve hundred workmen, the greater number of whom will be skilled men. The salary list of the company will amount to more than $100,000 month.
 The Southern Car and Foundry Com- pany has now plants at Gadsden, Annis- ton and Memphis, and the addition of this new large establishment will give 1t the greatest car manufacturing plants in the United States. It now fills orders from all parts of the country, but with the addi- tional capacity the new works will have the company will be in better position to control the manufacture of cars in the South, at least.
 The capacity of this new plant will be twenty finished cars 8 day. Ten of this number will be iron and ten wood. Work will be pushed forward rapidly.

TERRIBLE CRIME
 THAT WAS SECRET
Murder of Patrick Taff is a Myste- rious Chapter in a Black
 Record.

the most part secret but 1t is known that important clues were given that may be followed.
 One of the facts which makes the crime the more revolting is the high esteem and great respect in which MT. Taff was held by the citizens of Oak Grove. He was all ways upright and honest and every one who knew him respected him.
 All of the leading citizens of that com- munity were in Birmingham to attend the inquest. The capacity of the court room was overtaxed.
 The deceased lived a very exemplary Mfe He possessed small area of land, not over three and half acres in extent, and on this little farm was his general store, and something that he prized still more--his garden.
 About one acre of this garden was in watermelons, and 1t was while guarding the melons from thieves that he met his death.
 There is low shed in the center of the melon patch, and the theory is that he was assailed immediately upon entering this shed before he had time to use the shotgun with which he was armed.
 His garden was very neatly kept and was surrounded by substantial wire fence, over which the thieves had to climb to enter the melon patch
 MT. Taff had a number of relatives in and around Birmingham, the nearest of whom was James L. Staggers, night war den of the Southside jail.
 MT. Staggers took charge of the funeral arrangements. The body was removed yesterday morning from the undertaking establishment of Gaudin and Loy,, Twen- ty-first street, where the post-morten ex- animation had been held, and was taken to Rocky Ridge Church, at Refuge. where the funeral was held. He was buried in Enon Cemetery at that place.

Patrick Taff, whose body was found in the middle of his melon patch at Oak
 Grove Thursday morning, was undoubted-
 ly murdered. The story was told in yes terday's Age-Herald. The body was brought to the city yes- terday morning and a postmortem exam ination was made by County Physician Mason. When the skull was removed the
 results of fours distinct blows were dis covered. ~# Two of the fractures were on the front
 part of the head and two on the back of
 the head. The concussion of the skull against the brain at these points was what caused Taff's death. Coroner Paris held a very thorough in- quest yesterday which lasted until 1:90 o'clock in the afternoon. He examined a great many witnesses, and much valuable
 and important testimony was brought out.
 The jury was composed entirely of Oak Grove citizens who had been selected with great care.
 Its foreman was P C. Holcomb. The other members were: c. O. Sect, J. C..
 Parsons, Perry ONeal, Henry Goodman and H. Seals.
 At the inquest, the weapon with which
 the murder was committed was produced. It was a heavy iron bolt, about two feet | long, and having a square head The stain of the victims blood was plainly | traced on the surface of the bolt. | This bolt was found in the melon patch, about thirty feet from the shed In which | the crime was committed. | Up to the present time the gun and store key, which MT. Taff had when he entered the melon patch, and which were found
 missing upon the discovery of the body, have not been found.

 The contract calls for the removal of more than eighty thousand yards of dirt and rock, and 1t amounts to large sum. The firm secured the award over the bids of number of companies. which fact is quite compliment to the Birmingham men and their careful and accurate meth. ods of calculation.
 When seen last night MT. Dunn of the successful firm said.
 ''The contract was awarded us today and we expect to go to work on the grounds Monday. Tomorrow we will move our scrapers, blows and other implements to the grounds. Monday we will open the work with large force of men and rush 1t to completion. It Is expected that we will be able to complete the work within sixty days.

FIFTY MEN QUIT
 WORK ON STRIKE Because Too Many Apprentices
 Are Employed BY CERTAIN COMPANIES Birmingham Members of the Amalgam- and Association of Sheet Iron and Tin Workers Cease Work
 Account of Grievance.
BY CERTAIN COMPANIES

The members of the Birmingham local union No. 4S of the Amalgamated Asso- citation of Sheet Iron and Tin Workers have gone out on strike Three manu- featuring establishments employing about fifty men altogether are affected by the strike
 The grievance committee of the union gave a statement of the cause of the strike, in which 1t was said that the de- cision to quit work is the result of a re- fusal of the employers to reduce the num- Der of apprentices. The decision for a strike was reached last night at a meet ing of the local, and today no men will be at work.
 For some time past the different com panies of the city have employed from four to eight boys as apprentices in each place." said one of the strikers last night. This number is too large, and when we began discussion with our employers with reference to signing scale for this years work we decided to ask that the number of apprentices be limited to four boys for each man. This. we did. and three times our committees have present. ed our demands, but yesterday we were finally refused our request.
 We are not asking for anything at all unjust, and we have determined to re- main out until the question is settled in our favor. We must have a reduction of apprentices in the shops or we will not work.
 'The shops affected by the strike are the Estes Hardward Company in Bir- mingham and Ensley, Spiro .& Long and George F. Wheelock. About fifty men are inyolved.'

 groes Would Return. ii

H. R. Bell, the negro labor agent who was arrested for enticing servants from the employ of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company. has not as yet been able to secure bail, and is still con- fined in the Jefferson County jail.
 The question of the reception received by the negroes is one that is being discussed at length about the city. Many fear that all the men who left here Tuesday, night will never be able to return to the city, if they were carried to the works of the Latrobe Company. Statements from Chi of Elmore, Ill.,, where the works are sit- uated, are very excited. Committees from that city and from the works have been sent to the negroes. and notice has been given them that they must not come to the works.
 Thursday the negroes spent the entire day in a. Chicago suburb. huddled in the cars filled with fright on account of the visits, of certain committees, and the ru- amors of the reception they might receive. At dark they were moved from the town to a railway siding nearby and there spent the night.
 Yesterday many of them are credited with having made statements that they would return to their homes in Birming- ham and be glad to get the chance of free transportation. It is believed they will return within the next few days, as sentiment is very strong against them in the Western city.

A man may try all sorts of drugs to help him to get well. but after all the food cure'' is the method intended by nature.
 Anyone can prove the efficacy of the food cure by making use of the following breakfast each morning after fifteen or twenty days:
 A dish containing not more than four heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, enough good rich cream to go with them, some raw or cooked fruit not more than two slices of entire wheat bread. and not more than one cup of Postum Food Golf fee, to be slipped, not drank hurriedly Let this suffice for the breakfast.
 Let one meal in the day consist of an abundance of good meat. potato and one other vegetable
 This method will quickly prove the value of the selection of the right kind of food to rebuild the body and replace the lost tissue which is destroyed every day and must be made up, or disease of some sort enters in. This is an age of specialists, and the above suggestions arc given by a specialist In food values, dietetics and hygiene.
