ALBERT ADLER
 DIED YESTERDAY Succumbed to Injuries Received Near Cordova Wednesday WAS SUBSTANTIAL CITIZEN
Member of the We'll Known Firm of Adler Bros., Capitalists and Devel- opers-The Untimely Accident
 Ends a Useful Career.

Albert Adler, the well known capitalist o'clock, at Morris and Liptons infirmary, as the result of injuries sustained on Wednesday evening by falling through trestle near Cordova Walker County.
 MT. Adler was a member of the firm of Adler Bros and was one of the most sub stantial and popular men in business life in this district. He was born in Jonesboro, Tenn, forty-four years ago and was the son of Jacob Adler, who amassed fortune in that little town and removed with his family to Baltimore Md, where he en- gagged with his sons, Morris, Albert and Sam, in the wholesale grocery business and continued to prosper. About fifteen years ago the three brothers, with a younger brother, Edgar, removed to Birmingham and associated themselves with Nat Malone of this city in the wholesale grocery busi- ness under the firm name of Adler Malone x Co.,, and built up a large and lucrative trade. Several years later Mr. Malone was succeeded by J. R. P. Durham and the name of the firm was changed Some time later the Adlers sold out their interest to the present firm of Simmons, Durham & Co.
 The four brothers then gave their at tention to mineral and timber lands and soon became largely interested in the sale and development of this class of property Albert, who was the second of the brothers, was active in the conduct of the firms affairs. and it was while looking after cer- tain interests in Walker County that he met with the accident that resulted in llis death. He was a man of indomitable ener- gy and physical vigor and knew no such word as fail. He was a devoted brother and son, loving and indulgent husband and father and a staunch friend, and his untimely death has brought deep grief to a bright and happy home.
 MT. Adler was married to Miss Hannah Rosembaum of Louisville Ky, about ten years ago, who with daughter years of age, survive him.
 He was a member of Congregational Emanuel and of the Phoenix Club and gave liberaGly to the alleviation of want and suffering among the poor.
 His remains were removed to the family residence in Highland avenue and the flu snerahawill occur tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, interment at the Jewish cemete- ry. The following gentlemen will act as pall-bearers: Henry Barnard, Otto Marx, Emil Levi, J. R. P. Durham, M. V. Joseph, Max Fies, D. H. Lopez and Lew Lazarus.

THE VICTORIA CHANGES HANDS
G. w. Sweeney of Rochester Bought

George w.

 have succeeded fairly well, I have been in Birmingham for the last nineteen years, active business man, buying and selling all kinds of properties, stocks and bonds, city property and mineral lands, on my own account, perhaps more than any man In the State Many transactions have l had of various kinds, and in ali these l have had but one lawsuit, which was success fully defended. l ask you, if these lands were sold at a fair market price, at the time, and if the University of Alabama has been paid for them, that this board stand by it's contract made in good faith. Let me show to these New York gentlemen with whom 1 was associated, that my statements were not untrue; that I have not deceived them, and this board will not, if it can, on pure technicalty, rescind a transaction that was fair, just and honorable.
 This charge constitutes the only ref1ec- ton that I know of upon my business meth ods, and the facts herein mentioned should persuade you that in all this matter l have acted honestly and fairly, and that all my representations were made from the stand point of what believed to be true and cor rect This matter lies very near my heart, and this is the only tribunal to which l can appeal, the one body of men who can re- flute the false charges brought against me, and vindcate my reputation among men whose opinions are of value to me ana 10 the State of Alabama.
 Now, gentlemen, suppose the deeds to these lands should be cancelled. In what situation would that leave the University with reference to these lands? Is 1t not d fact that the University will own lands widely scattered in bodies too small to be leased if that be the policy of the Uni versity, not contiguous to transportation, and not so situated as to command higher price than that paid for it? If this be true, and 1t cannot be successfully controverted, will 1t not be to the interest of the Uni versity to remove this subject from the controversy by ratifyng the former action of a majority of the board, irregular though it may be, in confirming the sale and con- yeyance of the land? This l ask you to do, that the University, which is under your direction, may at once avail itself of the large sum of money, which every expert ir Alabama knows to.-be full, fair and adequate price for the land, and that justice be done as between man and man.
