The placing of "block" signals along
the track at this day when trains often
run so miles an hour, is held to be un-
safe, as they cannot always be read by
the engineer when going at such speed
Automatic blocks or lights in the
engine cab, said Mr.. Miller, "means
just two things-when they are clear or

they are red the train should stop,
There should be no written orders"
This system Of movable blocks of lights
in engine cabs is being installed on the

system to perfection.

BURWELL GOES
TO INSANE ASYLUM
Former Birmingham Merchant
Not MenaIly Responsible
CAUSE OF HIS RECENT ACTS
Motion Is Made In Supreme Court
to Dismiss the Impeachment Pro-
ceedings Against Judge Love-
Joy of Etowah County.
CAUSE OF HIS RECENT ACTS

Montgomery, April 14-(Special.)-An
order was issued by Judge Thomas in the
criminal division of the City Court today
remanding Tom Burwell, the former
wealthy Birmingham merchant, to the
Alabama Bryce Insane Hospital.
Burwell was being tried on a charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses,
and his lawyers entered plea of insanity.
Sufficient evidence was introduced to
prove the insanity of the prisoner. Bur-
well was recently arrested In Cullman and
brought to Montgomery, where a charge
reached the Montgomery Jail he told a
pitiful story of how some mistake had
been made and his relatives would make
good his debt. Consequently he was left
In the Jailor's private office, but when
that official left the room the prisoner
was recaptured.
1t is said he has cashed many drafts
and checks under false pretenses, several
Montgomery parties being among bis VIC
Tins.
Burwell has various Authorizations such
as thinking he was commissioner on the
Nicaragua canal, the general passenger
agent of several railroads and big
moneyed man generally.
1t was also proven that he had DELI
rum tremens at one time.
AS soon as the preliminary arrange
ments are made Burwell will leave for
Tuscaloosa.

Want Lovejoy Case Dismissed.

The supreme court met this morning
and was in session only a few minutes
The only business before it was a motion
made by Mr.. ]. B. Martin of the firm Of
Dortch & Martin, attorneys of Gadsden,
that the Impeachment proceedings against
Probate Judge Lovejoy be dismissed or
vacated.
The motion Is to strike from the list Of
signers of the information against Love-
JOY the names of w. H. Hood, T. c. CAL
loway and S. H. Mayes. The grounds are
as follows:
First-Because their names were signed
without their knowledge and consent
Second-Because they are not REALTORS
or plaintiffs in the case.
Third-Because they now desire their
names stricken from said information.
The motion to set aside, revoke and an
null the order made by the court on April
g. citing Bovejoy to appear and answer,
is on the following grounds:
First-Because the proceeding is not in
stituted by five taxpayers.
Second-Because it is void.
Third = Because said information was
not instituted in the way or manner pre-
scribed by law.
The court entertained the motions and
set May as the day for the hearing.
This is the same day on which Judge
Lovejoy had been cited to appear.

DID NOT ATTEMPT
TO WRECK TRAIN
Jury Finds John Riggs Not
Guilty on This Charge
WITNESS WAS ONCE INSANE
TrackwaIker Testified Against the
Negro, But His Evidence Was
mpeached-Case of Jim
Webb Set for Today.
WITNESS WAS ONCE INSANE

John Riggs, a young negro % years of
age, was acquitted in the Criminal Court
yesterday on charge of turning switch
on the Birmingham Mineral Railroad
with intent to cause the wreck of a
train. The main witness. against him
was white man who was Q trackwalker
for the railroad and who testified to find
ing the switch unlocked and that Riggs
assaulted him when he attempted to fix
it. A white man named John Cuberson
Is also indicted for completely in the
same NATTER and will probably be tried
today.
James Putnam was the chief witness
against Riggs. He said that on Deem
Der Is of last year he was walking down
the track of the Birmingham Mineral
railroad when he met defendant near
Alice's switch. Riggs was walking in
the opposite direction. He stopped and
exagined the switch and found it I'M
locked and thrown to the side track.
While he was preparing to turn it to the
main track Riggs approached to within
two feet of him and asked him not to
turn the switch and when he persisted
in doing so Riggs grabbed him by his
coat collar and pulled him back. That
he attemrted to hit Riggs when Culber-
son and a negro who were standing on
the bank began to throw rocks at him.
He called for help and the men then
went off He had seen the switch earlier
in the day and 1t was all right. Freight
1no af q time h1It If
did not run that day--if it had, it would
have been wrecked.
The defendant did not take the stand
but his attorney introduced evidence to
show that on last Friday Mr. Putnam
was doubtful as to whether Riggs was
the right man and also evidence to inn
peach the testimony of the states wit
ness and to show that he had once been
insane. The jury was out but short
time when they returned with verdict
of not guilty.
This was the only capital case tried
yesterday. The case of jeff VanHorn,
charged with robbery of a man named
William Funk near Ensley which was
set for trial yesterday was continued I'M
I'll w euneSuay on ACCOUNT Oh the absence
of defendants witnesses.
The trial of Jim Webb, the negro who
shot and killed Policeman W. P. Walton,
is set for today. The case will probably
be concluded in one day rs there are
few witnesses. Webb was indicted by the
grand jury the first day 1t met and was
arraigned and plead not guilty on the
same day.
Judge s. E. Greene was ill yesterday
and Judge Dan. A. Greene tried the mis-
demeanor cases also.

Florence, April 14-(Special.) Mrs.
Jane L. Patton, widow of ex-Gov. Rob-
ert M. Patton, died at her Sweetwater
home, near here this afternoon at five

Food for the Fans.


The work of Umpire Wilson yesterday
was as well-nigh as perfest as has been
seen in Birmingham in sevral years His
judgment on balls and strikes was cor
rect in almost every instance.
New Orleans has released Cy Swayne,
the Florida pitcher. and Wallace, the
Canadian catcher. The former had not
been in the game for two years and could
not get into condition. He will soon be
licensed to preach. The Canadian was
given his release because Abbott re-
turned to Powell from his Cincinnati con-
tract
Brown will not be able to get in the
game today, his leg being in bad condi-
tion from injuries received yesterday az
ternoon Haller will catch and Campbell
will be on the slab for the locals.
That hit of Sorber's to left field which
Mccarthy caught looked the best drive of
the season when it passed between third
and short. 1t was a hummer, and had
Mccarthy been ten feet to the left or
right it would have been good for at
least two bags.
The president of the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION of Rooters suggests that the
management secure a uniform for little
Charlie Williams, the mascot.
Even Atlanta believes Birmingham will
be in the running. telegraph operator
in the Constitution office reported the
fact that Ed Bruffeys room was crowd
ed last night by Atlanta fans anxious
to see what was done in the Cleveland
game. When they heard the score there
was much comment to the effect that the
Coal Barons looked good This was made
stronger when the report of the Nash
vile game reached them.
Nashville will be the next place where
Armour's Bluebirds will be brought to
face Southern League players. The series
with Fishers team will be watched with
peculiar interest, as the result will serve
to give line on what relation that team
bears with Hallers and Powells.
Many believe Campbell will be able to
win this afternoons game on account of
his left hand work and his close watching
of bases. That he will play the game
for all he is worth goes without saying.
