READY FOR WORK
 ON TRUNK SEWER
MATERIAL IS BEING DELIVERED ALONG THE LINE AND A FORGE
 OF ExcAvAToRs WILL BE BUSY
 WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

Work on the Jefferson county trunk sewer will commence in a few days ac- cording to MT. G. B. Burkhalter, one of the contractors. He says that the work will be started about five miles west of Birmingham and that it will be pushed in this direction as rapidly as possible.
 When he commences he will probably emISoy several hundred laborers and fifty or sixty teams but he Is unable at present to tell exactly what will be the size of his force.
 The contractors who are to furnish the material are busy delivering 1t along the line of the sewer. which will run to a point below Bessemer, where the pu- rifcation plant Is to be erected. The survey of the other sewer, which Is to extend from East Lake to Pratt City and Ensley has been completed and the surveyors are ready to lay the permanent lines. As soon as the preliminary work is completed the county will advertise for bids and the work will begin.
 All the property along the line of the trunk sewer has been condemned except that which will be used for the Altering plant. It is owned by the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company. Condemna- ton proceedings have been instituted and it is expected the decision will be rem dered shortly.

The subcommittee of the county dom- ocratic executive committee will meet this morning in the office of Chairman Thach over the First National bank.

Cunningham of Birmingham; Romaine Boyd and D. R. Hay of Ensley; A. J. Reilley of Pratt City; E. A. Veitch of Bessemer and F. E. Blackburn.

COY. JELKS TAKES
 INTEREST IN FAIR
APPRECIATES FACT THAT AN Ex- HlBiTIoN SUCH AS WILL BE HELD HERE ADDS MUCH TO DE- VELoPMENT OF STATE.

The state will give $S5O0 to pay for an exhibit at the Alabama State Fair which will be held in Birmingham this fall This was promised to President Krebs and General Manager MacKnight by Gov ernor Jelks as the result of the visit they made to Montgomery.
 The governor discussed the plans of the management with much interest and as- sured the managers that he would do all In his power towards making the fair success. He will be present on Governors s Day with his staff and take part in the ceremonies.
 Governor Jeks said he thought Alabama should have a good fair annually and that the county fairs should be started again and kept up. He said they added much to the development and advance ment of the common interests of the state He regretted that the state was unable at the present time to do more for the fair association but stated Com missioner Poole was heartily in favor of the plans and had about sS5OO to help equip a state exhibit.
 Messrs. Krebs and MacKnight waited on State Historian Owen and he promised to send a number of rare and priceless exhibits to the fair. These contain a number of relics and pictures which would be hard to replace if lost.

Surenders and Claims Deed
 Was Done in SeIf-Defense
RESULT OF AN OLD QUARREL
Dead Man Lived at Bradford Mines and Was We'll Known There abouts-Hannon Brought to
 Jefferson County Jail.

William Parvin, who lives at Bradford mines was found dead on the railroad track near Trussviue Thursday morning. He had gunshot wound in his body. and there were no traces of his assailant until yesterday morning, when John P. Hannon surrendered to Jonn c. Bradley and said he had done the killing. He saio he desired to surrender to MT. Bradley, who brought him to Birmingham yester- day morning and placed him in the coun- ty Jail.
 According to the statement he made to Mir. Bradley he was acting in self-de- fense when he shot and killed Parvin He said that he met Parvin on the rail- road track and that they renewed an old quarrel. IIannon claims Parvin advanced on him with a knife and threatened to cut his heart out. He says he backed away, and although armed with a shot gun, tried to keep out of trouble. He says that Parvin continued to advance on him and that he fired to prevent being killed, and that Parvin fell with the knito still clasped in his hand.
 Immediately after the shooting Hannon left the place because. he says, he feared Parvin's relatives of whom there are a large number in the neighpornood or ths Bradford mines. He went towards Morris and then waited until MT. Bradley came yesterday morning.
 Parvin is well known throughout the neighborhood in which he resides The finding of his body Thursday morning created a sensation.

HUMAN BONES WITH BURNT FLESH
 AT SCENE OF WEDNESDAYS FIRE

o'clock shows that It must have been very quick. and partially destroys the theory that it originated from a cigar or match. It adds to the theory that the place was set on fire or 1t would not have burned so rapidly as to be a mass of flames fifteen minutes after the boy went to bed.
 Still another theory, but one which is not very plausible in the minds of many is that the negroes seriously injured someone during an initiation and that the fire was started to hide this. Negroes who are members of the secret societies which occupy the building stare posi- lively that such was not the case.
 A Strange Feature.
 A strange feature of the case is the statement of Barclay that for the first time since re has been sleeping in the building he found the doors open when he went upstairs. He says in the past he has found all doors locked and had to wait until Patterson came berore he was able to get in. Wednesday night he says the doors were propped open.
 The bones containing the flesh were first seen early yesterday afternoon by some of the young men employed in the Excelsior Laundry. They did not say any thing about it until last night when one of them mentioned it to George A. Blinn, Jr. He telephoned for Chief Mullen of the fire department, and he with several other people began an investigation about o'clock. But it was too late to make a thorough investigation and the work was postponed until this morning when Cor oner Paris will be notified and the in- vestigation will proceed legally.
 Chief Mullen will send down a number of his men this morning and have the place thoroughly overhauled to endeavor to find other portions of the body, or some clue which will lead to the discov- cry of how the person met death. It is expected that other portions of the skel- eton will be found and by them 1t will be possible to determine whether it was a man or woman.
 "Pegleg" Glenn, a negro who was for merly employed as janitor for the build ing, is causing discussion. The negroes claim he has been dead a year, but sev- eral of the white persons employed in the building still think that 1t was possi- bly, he who was burned.
