MINISTERS OBJECT TO
 SUNDAY BUILDING WORK

MT. L. J. Boyer, superintendent of the Woodward building and the representa- tive of the Chicago contractors, Griffith & Son, when asked about the work being carried on on Sunday said:
 Personally I am opposed to work being done on Sunday. I am Catholic and object to 1t on religious principles; but there are exceptions to all rHles. The work done on last Sunday was the con- creting of the second foor This work has to be done when there are no other workmen in the building. During the day there are carpenters, plumbers, gasht- ters electricians and various other workmen If we attempted to lay con- crete during the day all of these work men would have to stop. The tile floors are about five inches below the steel beams in the floors and this space is filled with concrete. No workmen like to work on Sunday, and 1t is only in case of urgent necessity that 1t is done."
 In addition to MT. Boyers statement one of the workmen who had worked last Sunday stated that the building was what is known as a rush job; that they really had very little time, and instead of attempting to finish 1t by October l 1t ought to take several months longer

ANOTHER THEORY
 TO GRANEY MURDER
POLICE WORKING WITH THE IDEA THAT THE DEED WAS COMMIT TED BY WHITE MAN-coRoNER
 PARIS BEGINS INVESTIGATION.

The police are now working on the the ory that 1t was a white man and not negro who murdered D. T. Graney, the boiler maker who was found dead lying across the pavement near Tenth Alley on Nineteenth street Saturday night The officers do not now believe that the mo- tive was robbery. However the theory that the deed was done by a negro high wayman has not been entirely abandoned.
 Coroner Paris began an inquest yester- day over the remains of Graney. The in- vestigation is being conducted In secret and will be continued this morning at o'clock. Graneys remains were shipped last night at 8:15 o'clock to Indianapolis. They were accompanied by his wife and father, who arrived from Indianapolis yesterday.
 The locality in which the murder was committed Is one particularly well adapt ed to the purposes of the assassin. Oak Hill cemetary Is only block away and the murderer could have hidden there un- til the first hue and cry was over An other place in which the murderer could have concealed himself Is the park at Sixteenth street ard Sixth avenue. This is not far from the scene of the murder and a man could easily find refuge there for several hours Nineteenth street, about Tenth avenue is very dark, there being but few electric lights. The exact spot where the murder was committed is so dark on 6 night with no moon that it is impossible to see more than few feet.
 Within a block of the scene of the murder there are two large lumber yards and these would also afford good hid ing place in case of pursuit. Just to the left of the place where Graney was found there Is a vacant lot on which are several piles of stone and brick within a few feet of the pavement. Behind these the murderer could have hidden un- til his victim appeared. Across the street is a large vacant lot covering nearly the entire block. Within a block and half are several railroad yards and a round- house. A better place for highwayman or murderer to commit his crime could not be found in Birmingham.
 From staten ents made by several per sons sitting on Mr. Ross porch when the shooting occurred the flash Of the gun was ten or fifteen feet nearer Tenth ave- nue than the place where Graney was found. It is supposed he must have walk CT or run several feet before falling. It would also seem from these statements that when shot Graney was facing to- wards Tenth avenue. or in the opposite direction to which he was walking. If that is true he must have passed his mur- derer, who spoke to him and caused him to turn around.

 SWI1VDLING SCHEME
LEADERS BELIEVE BY MAKING A CANVASS OF THE CITY THEY
 GAN INCREASE ATTENDANCE AT
 CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL.

On Tuesday, June 3, a census of all the white homes in Birmingham will be taken by the Sunday School workers of the city. The object is to find out what percentage of the population attends Sunday School and church and how many of those who do not, are willing to begin.
 Another object is to invite every white person in the city to attend church and to urge on parents to send their children to Sunday School. It is expected the canvass will cause an increase of from 25 to 40 per cent in the attendance on church and Sunday School

PACK TRAINS
 HOME FROM CUBA
TRAIN LOAD OF U. S. ARMY MULES AND WAGONS EN ROUTE TO FIT. RILEY, KANSAS-CUBAN IDEA OF FREEDOM.

Two pack trains and one wagon train, a portion of United States army equip ment which has seen service in Cuba for the past two years and half, passed through Birmingham yesterday en route to Fort Riley, Kansas.
 Edward Stone master of transportation, was in charge of the wagon train. The chief packer of the United States army, MT Daily, was in charge Of the pack trains, with Assistant Packer Mooney.
 The trains were loaded on steamer in Havana a~d arrived In Mobile May g. The two l-k trains are numbers "A and 29 which arc considered the pick of the army Each pacH train consists of four teen men and sixty-four mules. fifty packs and a bell horse. These mules go over any sort of country and each beast carries burden of anywhere from 200 to 400 pounds. One of the men in the party yesterday said that he had seen everything packed on mule that could be loaded on a wagon, even to cooking stove Fifteen men are carried with the wagon train.
 Members of the outfit who had perhaps a better opportunity of seeing the na- tives as they really are have little faith in Cuban government. One man who saw service around Cienfuegos and Mantanzas had this to say when asked what the Cubans thought of freedom:
 "Cubans think freedom is anarchy. To illustrate, if one Cuban is envious of another's property he believes 1t the prop CT thing to relieve him of 1t. They have no idea of civilization. It would not sur prise me if President Palma Is assassi- mated within month after his inaugura- tion. He was elected through the inf1u- ence of the United States government and wealthy Spaniards
 One of the men with the pack train was D. A. Hunt, who lives at Sylvania, Ala. He was within eighty miles of home and could not go, although he had not been able to pay visit to his family in two years.
