GRAND JURY TAXES NO ACTION ON CORONER
Case of His Being Knocked Down In in a Saloon Not Backed
 By Evidence.

Coroner Paris is being congratulated by his friends that no indictment was brought against him by the grand jury on account of the charges brought against him of being hooked down and robbed in the rear of saloon some time ago. The matter was brought to the attention of the grand jury but it is said there was not sufficient evidence to cause the grand Jury to- seriously consider the matter. Coroner Paris is thus in way vendicated of the charges.
 When the coroner, was robbed in a saloon some time ago it was thought by many that the next grand jury would recommend his impeachment and so gen eral was this belief that several candi- dates appeared for the position.
 MT. Paris says that he is not only go- ing to serve out his term but that he is going before the people for reelection and seek vindication at their hands. He claims that certain persons have ''perse- cuted" him ever since he assumed his of

INFANT FOUND
 UNDER CHURCH
CHILD A WHITE FEMALE AND WAS EVIDENTLY KILLED BE- FORE BEING THROWN AWAY. NOT OVER FIVE DAYS OLD.

A white female infant, which must have been between one and five days old, was found under the negro church at the corner of Fourth avenue and Six teenth street yesterday morning by a painter who was doing some work on the building. It was lying under the rear of the church where it had evidently been thrown. and had on no clothes by which 1t could be unidentified.
 Coroner Paris is Investigating the case Dr. J. M. Mason. made a careful exam nation of the body and expressed the opinion that the body had been killed before being thrown under the church. There were several bruises on it's head which were sufficient to have caused death.
 The child was evidently a very healthy one and Dr. Mason says it would have lived had it not been injured in some manner. He said the child was not over five days old and that 1t had not been exposed more than twenty-four hours.
 The painter who found the body says he is confident 1t was not there Thurs day, as he was under the church and would have certainly discovered it. This is the fifth child that has been found dead during the past few months. Coro- ner Paris has detectives aiding him in the case

Several deputies imemdiately seized Martin and forced him to sit down. He made an attempt to strike Deputy Sher- fir Will Goudelock and after the case had gone to the jury and Martin returned to the little iron cage in the court room where defendants are kept when not &C., tually on trial he made some very in- sulting remarks to officers Smith and Nix and expressed 8 desire to whip Chief Deputy Sheriff Albert Stradford.
 It is needless to say that such con- duct constituted a contampt of court and under ordinary circumstances Judge Greene would have sent him to jail for 1t had not long sentence in the peni- tentiary been before him on account of his conviction. As it was the judge ad- monished him to sit still and keep quiet in court.

 Returns of property for taxation should have been filed with Tax Assessor J. A. Mclaughlin by January 1, but MT. Gam bill did not make his returns until yes terday, and will therefore have to pay to Captain Mclaughlin the large sum of 30 cents.
 MT. Gambill is facing the situation like a man and cheerfuly says he has been on both sides of the fence and understands how it is.

The usual decorous procedure of the Criminal Court was interrupted yester- day by Tom Martin a negro who was on trail for burglary and grand larceny and who assaulted and knocked down one witness and used much "perfumed" language concerning several police of fieers and court deputies.
 Martin was found guilty of the charge but during his trial the main state wit ness kinch Sears gave some very point ted testimony against Martin which aroused the ire of that "cullud pusson" and as Sears left the witness stand and passed near Martin the latter arose and dealt him blow on the jaw which lifted Sears off his feet and sent him whirling into the jury box where he was caught out on the fly by one of jurors

A resolution was offered yesterday af- ternoon at the regular monthly meeting of the Commercial Club by MT. w. N. Malone that the club endorse the ship subsidy bill now pending in Congress provided the bounty given by the govern ment be based on tonnage and not on speed, and also that the senators and congressman from this state be asked to support the bill. Several speeches were made pro and con- and the resolution was nndlly referred to the committee on transportation to be reported on at the next meeting. The resolution follows:
 Be it Resolved, That this club endorse the bill now pending in Congress known as the ship subsidy bill, provided the bounty of subsidy proposed to be paid by the United States government, bt based on tonnage and not upon speed as is at present proposed
 Resolved further, that the secretary be instructed to write to all congress men from this state urging them to SUD- port a subsidy bill based on tonnage.
 Resolved further that the secretary be requested to correspond with all the com mercial bodies throughout the state re- lating the action of the club and request. Ing Inelf cooperation III SecuTlHB Lnt passage of such a bill"
 MT. Rhodes Objects to Bill.
 Mr Rufus N. Rhodes objected to the resolution on the ground that it was in opposition to the fundamental principals of the Democratic party, and that it was a scheme of highway robbers to get some money in their own pockets. He raised the point of order, claiming the resolution was political and not commercial.
 MT. F. w. Barrett, acting president, asked Maj. F. Y Anderson to take the chair, and in reply to MT. Rhodes said he thought the resolution should be passed. He said a subsidy bill of some kind would certainly be passed at this session of Congress, and that if the basis were tonnage and not speed the south would be greatly benefited. He further said a combination had been made be- tween the packers of the irrigation bill and the subsidy bill, and that both would probably be passed He called attention to the fact that the Democratic party was once opposed to the rivers and harbor improvement bill, but was now In favor of 1t. He believed 1t the duty of the club to pass some resolution favoring bill which the people of the south and Ala bama would reap some benefit. He said it was a matter of business and not a political question. He moved that the res- olution be referred to the committee on transportation, which was done.
 Major Anderson then called attention to the fact that the ships from southern ports were all slow freight carriers and would get practically no benefit if the subsidy bill was based on speed.

Y. Anderson.
 MT. Estes had nothing new to report in the matter. He said the commission appointed by the government to look in to suitable locations had been ordered by the Secretary of War not to receive any more committees He stated a commit tee would do no good by trying to get an interview with either General Miles or
 the commission.
 MT. F. w. Barrett said he and MT. E. O. Hopkins were in Washington recently but that nothing could be learned rela- | tive to the matter. He made a motion to 1 appoint a committee of ten, which was
 amended to nine and passed. The com | mittee was instructed to wait on the City Council and ask that body to take some steps. it's influence would be of great l benefit. MT. Barrett said a post would be placed in Georgia or Alabama. at At lanta, Birmingham, Huntsville or Au- gusta.
 The committee on fruit stands of which MT. Estes is chairman, reported that they had been unable to get the City Council to refuse to grant such licenses, it being said that the city needed the
 money. The committee was discharged
 with the thanks of the club for it's earn est efforts to abate the nuisance.

Minority Wants Appropriation.

MinoTfty wants AppTopFiation.
 Mir. Sterling Wood presented a letter from President Wyman of the University of Alabama, asking the club to urge the Congressmen of the state to get the min ing bill now pending in Congress passed, but that the appropriation be given the University of Alabama and not an out side institution. The letter set forth a number of reasons why the university should get the appropriation. It was re- ferred to the committee on schools to be reported at the next meeting.
 In this connection reference was made to the effort on the part of a number of gentlemen in Birmingham to build tech nilogical high school here which 1t is l proposed to make the largest of the kind in the south. The movement was start ed by the report of Superintendent of Pub | lie Schools J. H. Phillips. and is being | supported by the board of education. It | will be remembered a special meeting of l the board was called to hear this report, and afterwards a meeting of citizens was held to discuss the matter It was also brought out that Mir. Andrew Carnegie would be asked to make an appropriation amounting to several hundred thousand dollars for the school in order that it might be the best equipped and largest in the south.
 DirectorS 7oId Meeting.
 Previous to the meeting of the club the board of directors had a meeting at which the report of the secretary and treasurer was read and approved Several new members were elected.
 The committee on the silver service for the Alabama reported that $905 had been raised. The other $95 has been subscribed. and the Commercial Club will report to the general committee that the full amount for this city will be turned in at once. President Exum and the represen- tatives of the Bessemer Land Company, the Birmingham Realty Company and the Birmingham Fertilizer Company are to raise the balance.
 A committee, consisting of Prof. Smith, Mir Malone and Secretary Gibson. was appointed to see about permanent quar- ters for the club. The club has the use of the present quarters for three months free and a proposition for any length of time after that. It Is not certain whether Seals Hall will be rebuilt so. the club can occupy part of it. and other quarters may have to be obtained.
