GEORGE CURRY IS
 TRIED FOR MURDER
CHARGED THAT HE MURDERED SONNY MARKHAM-DEFE ADMITS KILLING, BUT CLAIMS
 IT WAS DONE IN SELF-DEFENSE.

At the adjournment of the first division the case of George Curry, charged with the murder of William. alias Sonny Markham, was on trial. The state had introduced all of it's testimony and sev- eral of the defendants witnesses had been examined.
 This morning the case will be continued and 1t Is believed it wil go to the jury within two or three hours. Curry Is a negro, and the deceased. also a negro, was shot with a rifle some months ago at his home near Blossburg, one shot being fired. The defense claims the shoot ing was in self-defense, alleging that Markham had threatened the life of the defendant before the day of the shooting.
 large number of negroes and several white persons from the nighborhood of the place where the homicide occurred are attending court and showing much interest in the trial.
 Sidney Page, charged with the robbery of w. c. Cox, was acquitted, there being but little evidence against him. Since the alleged crime was committed MT. Cox has died.
 Tn the city court a suit was filed yes terday against the Republic Iron and Steel company by William Rolling. miner, who claims $500 for alleged per sonal injuries sustained while at work for the company.
 In the same court George F. Wharton filed suit for $125 damages against J. H. Edward. He claims a contract was broken in that after promising to buy certain set of books the defendant re- fused to accept the said books upon their being offered for delivery.

NH Make Radical Change in Street Travel
APPLIES TO Dc FARE LIMIT
Transfers Will Only Be Given for One Continuous Trip and Cannot Be Used for a Return
 Trip.

The free transfer system on the street car lines will be inaugurated this morn Ing This progressive step Is taken in ac- cordance with a contract which the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany made with the city two years ago.
 Manager J. B. McClary has perfected the details of the plans required by the new departure. and has instructed the conductors. so that the system may work with as few hitches as possible.
 While the company may lose some rev. enue at the start by giving the transfer for the price of one fare. the increased patronage will. 1t is believed. prove profit able in the end.
 The company has not decided definitely whether it will discontinue the sale of the s4 books, but the management is inclined to think that there would be a loss in carrying passengers at { cents with q transfer included.
 A transfer will not be issued to any point except for the continuation of a trip in the same general direction or at right angles to that direction. A transfer will not be issued or received which will allow q passenger to return on another line to the same general locality from which that passenger started.
 A transfer will not be received except at the place indicated on the transfer ticket. Neither will a transfer be re- ceived except for the date and before the expiration of the time indicated on the ticket.
 A transfer will not be issued in the city or suburb or received as rare, on any line to a point beyond the 5-cent fare limit of September 2O 1900, when the con- tract with the city was made.
 The company requests patrons of the lines to familiarize themselves with these conditions in order to prevent misunder- standings and inconvenience on the part of passengers.

BIJOU THEATRE
 TO OPEN MONDAY
rHEATRE-GolNG PEOPLE ARE
 ANXIOUS TO SEE THE TRANS FORMATION THAT HAS BEEN
 MADE IN THE OLD AUDITORIUM.

The opening of the new Bijou theatre next Monday evening Is an interesting theme in amusement circles. The seats were placed on sale Thursday morning at the box office and are being rapidly taken. The opening will undoubtedly be as brilliant an affair as was the open Ing of Wells new Bijou in Atlanta last Monday evening, when standing room was at premium.
 Theatre-going people are anxious to see the wonderful transformation that has been made in the old Auditorium, and while they are anticipating many im- provements there, they will unquestion- ably be surprised at the beautiful house that will be presented to them at the opening.
 Jake Wells is a pretty good judge of what will please the average public the success attending all of his theatrical en- terprises in other cities attesting this In presenting to Birmingham audience as the opening attraction of the new Bijou, the Felix and Barry All Star Speciality company he does so with the utfn6st confidence of pleasing a critical audience. With such an attraction, together with a brand new house possession metropli- tan features for the comfort of its pa- irons, never before presented by any Birmingham theatre, there is no doubt of the enjoyment in store for Monday ev- ening.
 Seats may be secured at the box office nll day Saturday and Monday or parties telephonlng n43 either Bell or Peoples, will hc served just as satisfactorily as If they called in person.

the community, more industrious and more useful than any other man he will receive encouragement and support.
 T do not believe that any one knows of an instance in the south where black man has been refused a loan of money at the bank simply because of his color.
 A Greenback Ballot.
 I've need not despair. We must not despaic. It is true we do not cast as r:any political ballots as formerly, but we have a chance to cast a greenback ballot at the bank cashiers window six days in the week. and more and more we are doing this. We do not have so many representatives in state legislatures, but we have more men owning property, homes and farms. We have not so many men in congress, but more owning stores and other business enterprises; not any negro governors, but more banks operated by negroes than ever before in our his- tory.
 Learn Trades.
 "As you go to your homes I trust that you will use every iota of your influence to get our young people to learn trades, to cease idling on the corners of streets. I hope you will teach the parents that mere book education without education of the hand is likely to increase the in- dividuars wants without giving him the ability to supply these increased wants. No young man or woman Is safe until he or she has learned @ trade in addition to getting a moral and mental education; until he or she has learned the saving habit, has learned that if one receives four dollars a week he should make su- preme effort to put at least one dollar of that amount Tn the bank.
 Finally, let us not grow discouraged or Respondent. It is true that we live in an eventful age when many things are occurring which are hard to under stand or appreciate, but let us remem- Der that in the really primary, funda- mental things of life no one can hinder or stay our progress. After all, when we analyze life we find that property, employment, education, high moral chris tian character are the indispensable ele- ments. In the last analysis these are the qualities that create influence and give the race standing before the world. So long as the negro Is not debarred from securing these let us never bow our heads in Encouragement The race may be hindered and delayed in its progress, but if 1t has high ideals it can never be defeated.
 "The people of this country, north and south are beginning more and more to realize that every ignorant man in a community breeds more ignorance; every lazy man in community breeds more laziness; every vicious man in a com munity breeds more viciousness; every intelligent man in a community, what ever his color or race. adds to the in- teligenee of the community; every wealthy man in the community adds to lne wealth of the community.

RAILROAD WORLD.

The Southern Railway company is ,witching some of its through freight at North Birmingham, end as soon as more yard track is laid a large percentage of It's cars will be handled there. Superin- .endent Hayden has been recommending he establishment of this North Birming- nam yard for a long time. He says 1t has been badly needed to relieve the conges don in the city yards Asked if there was any foundation for the rumor that the Southern would remove its shops from Avondale to North Birmingham, the superintendent said he had heard nothing of plans along that line.
 The Seaboard Air Line and the Frisco system have practically agreed upon settlement of their, differences growing out of the Belt line litigation, but it will be some weeks. perhaps, before the de- tails are announced and the Belts mo- ton for appeal withdrawn.
 The Wall Street Journal says: We learn that the litigation over the combi- ation of the Mobile and Ohio with the Southern shows no sisn Of conclusion, fumors to the contrary notwithstanding The Southern people express confidence II the ultimate result and are quite cer- ain that the operation of the roads to- getner will work to the benefit of both properties. At present, and for an in- definite period, they will be distinctly separate. There is no plan on foot to aI- ter the original scheme to conform to the deas of those opposing the merger.

 'I believe that the time has come when right about us here in the south there is going to be a growing class of southern white people who are going to feel that they have no higher duty to help lift up any race than falls to them in the assisting of the negro who is at their door.
 This Is not the time for doubt or dis couragement. Let us resolve to go for ward with firmer step and with more determined heart. Forward until there can be no question about our ability and success as a race"
 Morning Session.
 Prof. William H. Council president of the Agricultural and Mechanical college for negroes at Normal, Ala, Major R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia Indus trial college for negroes at Savannah, Ga, and Booker T. Washington. three of the greatest educators of the negro race, addressed the National Baptist conven- tion yesterday and much was said to in spire the negroes to better citizenship and manhood.
 The Rev. s. A. Mosley, D. D., presided at the opening of the convention in the morning and the Rev. Dr. Anderson of Evansville, Ind, conducted the devotional exercises for thirty minutes -r. E. c. Morris in his opening address brought before the negroes some plain practical suggestions for their future betterment. He urged that steps be taken at once to get rid of the immoral whisky drinking preachers who were disgracing the min isterial ranks, and who were simply in the work for a good job and something to eat Any man who will drink whisky and do other disgraceful acts" said Dr. Morris, was never called to preach and the sooner we get rid of them the better 1t will be-"
 Has Much to Do.
 Continuing his address and advice pr. Morris said:
 "The negro preacher has more to do than the preachers of any other race. for we must not only teach our people how to get to heaven when they die, but we must teach them how to live down here as well. We must teach them how to save their money, educate their children and buy and pay for homes We must hold them together, for there is entirely too much divorce-getting among us. Men and women marry, and for the least provocation leave each ether and seek divorces This must be stopped for it is doing as much as anything else In the world to impede the progress of the race. When our men and women marry they should live together until separated by death Good homes are much needed by us. and l say le- us have them or die. The time will come when the negro will see the necessity of these things"

MRS, DORR IS QUESTIONED
Sister-in-Law of the Deceased Tells How Dorr Was Shot Through Door-More Arrests
 May Follow.

The death of J. L. Dorr who was shot in the Randall building at avenue D and Twentieth street Thursday night Sep hospital last Thursday night Is being in- vestigated by the coroner and the police. These officials believe the homicide to be surrounded with mystery deeper than has clouded any killing In Birmingham for many years.
 Yesterday Coroner Paris and Chief of Police Austin, with a jury of six men, spent several hours trying to unravel the affair, but with no appreciable result. Their efforts were finally discontinued until this morning at 10 o'clock. when they will meet and go over the facts again and endeavor to secure new testi- mony. During the day they had before them in executive session Mrs William Dorr, a sister-in-law of the deceased. She was closely questioned for some time, but all the rigidity they could bring to bear gave little new light on the ques- tion.
 Mrs. Doris Story.
 Mrs. Dorr holds to her first story of the homicide. She declares the deceased was in her room on the night of the shooting. and that while they were converslng some one knocked on the door several times She at first supposed it to be her children, but when 1t was continued MT Dorr, who was on the opposite side of the room from her, started to open the door, remarking that he would see what was wanted.
 As he walked toward the door re- port of a pistol was heard in the hall way A bullet came through the door and struck MT. Dorr. She declared she did not know who fired the shot nor the cause of It's being fred During the cross questioning she stated she was as anx- ious as any one to discover who killed the deceased for he was brother of her husband She admitted she knew L. T. Lang, the fireman who was arrested and placed in jail charged with the murder of Dorr, the warrant coming from Justice Benner's court.
 How Dorr Was Shot.
 When Dorr was shot he walked to his boarding house. thinking he was not seri- ously injured. During the night he was heard grooming, however. and was re- moved to St. vincent's hospital where he died two nights ago. During all the time he was in the hospital he refused to make any statement as to whom he believed guilty of the shooting though he was at nearly all times conscious.
 Yesterday morning Dr. Mason, the county physician, performed an autopsy and removed the bullet which had pene- trated the intestines of the stomach. It was a S2-calibre bullet. The body was then carried to the undertaking establish- ment of Taylor & Co.,. where the investi- gation Is being made.
 The jury, under charge of Coroner Paris, is composed of the following: Jer- ry Fountain, J. R. Mcknight, Mack Rit- tenberry, T. R. Jones, I. c. Gray and T. B. Adams. The examination will be con tinued this morning and 1t Is possible other arrests may follow.

burglarious attempt, the inventor
himself makes the statement that
this apparatus is simple and can be
operated by u current Of only fifty
volts. Such a voltage can be oh
tanned by tapping the wires of
almost any large building. The
modern Office building is alive with
electric wires and u shrewd oper-
ator could easily find surface
main aud get from it all the power
needed TO use his carbon point.
The inventor, however, has ohvi-
ated the necessity of tapping wires
by constructing little storage
battery which he uses in connection
with his work This battery has
twenty eight cells, and the inventor
gets just as satisfactory results
with this as with a direct or alter
mating current. The power con
tanned in an ordinary electric auto
mobile would be sufficient to do the
work.
