TRADES COUNCIL MEETS
 WITH WOMAN IN CHAIR

After a long and tedious session of the Birmingham Trades Council at Brick layers hall yesterday afternoon little was accomplished of public interest
 In the absence of President Williams, Miss Alice Nall. the vice president, oc- cupied the chair, the first time in the history of the council that lady ever held this positoin. She was assisted In the discharge of her duties by Organizer Stanley, and through a trying session gave entire satisfaction
 A resolution was passed requesting President Roosevelt to take such steps as are necessary to secure the honorable re- lease of Santiago Iglesias from a penal sentence in Porto Rico. It appears that the imprisoned man Is member of the Carpenters and Jointers' International brotherhood, and commissioned as or ganizer of the American Federation Of Labor He went to Porto Rico to pursue his calling and was active in attempting to better the condition of the working men of the United States new posses sion. The immediate cause of the trouble was owing to a strike that he conducted against the manner of paying working people, he and a number of his fellows demanding that they be paid in the legal tender of the United States instead of Spanish pesetas, which in getting this currency exchanged for American money greatly depreciated their wages. Iglesias and six companions were ar rested on a charge of melting riot under an old Spanish law, and were sentenced to serve from two months to three years and four months, Iglesias getting the heaviest sentence. The American Fed eration of Labor has taken the matter up and the labor leaders all over the country are doing the same thinE ure- ing an honorable release for Iglesias,

which of course carries with it the re- lease of his companions. The alleged riot was, it Is claimed, nothing more than a strike fashioned on American lines.
 Harry Markey one of the councils prime agitat ors reported the action of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen in the street car franchise matter and a resolu- tion condemning the action taken was passed by the council, and MT. Markey was given a vote of thanks for the stand he took.
 A matter between the Brewery Workers and an out-of-town brewery that has large agency in this city, which has been dragging its weary length through the council for several months, was rehashed and retrashed and tabled for the time be- ing. It Is a question that involves national complications, and Is altogether a com plex problem.
 The success attained in the hotel and restaurant employees difficulties was re- ported and one restaurant that obsten- ately refused to come to terms placed on the unfair list.
 The delegates received and obligated were Journeymen Tailors No. 75, D. G. Orr, F. W. Carnes. E. Snider c. Shultz, F. J. Petru; Woodworkers No. 127, Jake Wright. l.. R. Windsor; Plumbers Union No. 91, A. Klausmeyer and E. J. Rob- erts.
 The delegate to the federation conven- ton, J. H. F. Mosley. presented the coun- ell with a group picture of the delegates to the convention. He was given a vote of thanks.
 The Labor Temple committee had an en- couraging report, and the delegates were urged to take the matter up and give all the assistance in their power.
 The next meeting of the council will be the fourth Sunday in the month.

LOVE AND JEALOUSY MAY
 FIGURE IN POISON CASE

One week ago a negro woman walked into the office of Chief of Police Austin and asked him to arrest her husband, Will Flagg and negro woman named Mary Mathes, claiming they had sent her poison. She handed Chiet Austin a cup of tea, explaining that she saw nothing wrong with 1t until she applied the sugar. Then the coloring given hy the tea sunk to the bottom Of the cup. leaving clear water at the top
 Chief Austin took another cup of the tea and placed some of the sugar in it. The effect was the same as in the former case. Some of the sugar was placed in a bucket of water which immediately as- stunned a whiteish appearance. The wo- man had cause to suspect her husband and Mary Mathes, as there had been a row in the family on account of the wo- man. She had them arrested
 After the arrest she told Chief Austin that she had started to take a drink of water from the bucket on the back porch and noticed that it was white She threw 1t out, and after seeing the effect or the sugar on the water in Chief Aus- lih olllce she was convinced some of the same sugar had been placed in it.

SHOT HORSE FARMER
 HAD BORROWED
VALUABLE ANIMAL KILLED BY SOME CRUEL PERSON WHILE FETCHED IN BACK YARD OF SEVENTH AVENUE HOME.

A horse was shot to death while tied to a fence in the rear of the house 1920 Seventh avenue early Sunday morning. and thereby follows a deal of trouble for MT. A c. Hayden, Blount County farm CT. The animal was borrowed from a neighbor and was tethered in the back yard while MT. Hayden spent the night with his mother.
 MT. Hayden desired to get an early start home Sunday morning and therefore brought the horse to the house. instead of leaving the animal at a stable down town.
 About 4:SO o'clock he was awakened by a report which sounded like the dis charge of a pistol. He and his brother got up to investigate and found the horse dead. A hole was found in the animals chest, and the bullet is supposed to have gone through the heart.
 Yesterday morning the police depart ment was notified, and two detectives put on the case. The yard in which the horse was tied is very deep one, and the horse was fully 100 feet from the alley which runs in the rear It was equally as far have entered the yard. It was suggested that some one in the neighborhood was disturbed by the horse and fired the shot. The animal was valued at about $100 or H25

sugar. He advised the chief to have an examination made by chemist. This was done and tho chemist said he thought there was sugar of lead in the sugar placed in the tea. He said the grain of sugar Of lead was similar to that of cane sugar and that when the two were mixed 1t would be impossible to distinguish them except by chemical analysis.
 Saturday the same chemist made an analysis of particles of the sugar from the dish and pronounced 1t sugar of lead and cane sugar mixed. The latter he found predominated. but there was enough sugar of lead to kill several per sons. Now here Is the interesting part of the story:
 About two months ago Mary Mathes went to Flagg's house to board. She is much better looking woman than Flagg' s wife and he Is said to have paid the wo- man some attention Later 1t Is said Tlagg and his wife had a row about her s,d 1t ended by Mary Mathes leaving the house. Shortly after this the poison of Flagg and Mary Mathes.
 Flagg Is said to be a painter and may have used sugar of lead in mixing paints. Several witnesses will be introduced this afternoon in Judge Feagins court, in cluding the chemist who made the analy- sis He will swear to the facts about the mixing of the sugar of lead. as given above.

IMPERIALISM GROWING
 SAYS RECTOR JOHNSON

materialism are easily ascertained, and we proceed to look at this condition more closely.
 First then let us consider the extent to which we are exposed to materialism Materialism is the denial of any imma- terial part in man or in the universe. It denies the spiritual or the supernatural. It may be that we do not recognize 1t in these terms, but it is clearly seen in the unbalanced regard for things that are purely material for matters temporal
 The extent to which we are exposed to this danger may be realized by any one aware of the kind of development the world has made in the past fifty years. Progress Is a key word of the times, and is meant to be descriptive of the awakening of new material resources by such means as have effected:
 "First-Closer communication among men.
 "Second-Annihllation of distance in traffic.
 "Third-The finding and development of raw material whether by mining or pro- duction.
 We handle quantities beyond the dreams of our forefathers. We are made conscious of mans dominion over earth, and rock and sea, and air, and the very unseen currents of power.
 And yet the possession of these pow CTS is our noblest right. save one.
 These material possibilities must be seized. as well as will be seized, should be our teaching. But as they develop the highest sense of material power, so I can understand that. rather than sup press they might stimulate the noblest conception of spiritual possibilities.
 'The danger of materialism is that il saps the spiritual life of the race. How IS this accomplished?
 "All that Is not material is unreal shadSwy. Consequently religion becomes vague. It loses definiteness. certainty and ultimately vitality. Broad be- comes thin. and liberal loose. We see great quantities and forces. and lose sight of delicate tints and lines. Great muscles are developed by the laborer but only the athletes attention to little weights and slight movements begets the best physical type.
 Hopes of heaven are deferred For the things which are seen are temporal.
 "The contemplation of heavenly hosts is disregarded.
 The effect is not alone in our philoso- phy of life, nor is it our judgment of tendencies outside of us The home is sure witness of the prevalence of great movements Children are trained to get on materially. Spiritually they can do as best they may. Parents in example. as we'll as precept emphasize the material life
 "The commandments are the greatest safeguard, because they are definite, de- cisive. Who can make shadowy-'Thou shalt not make to myself any grayen image? or Thou shalt not steal?
 "Christ's Interpretation loses nothing of this characteristic. I came not to destroy but to fulfill the law Obedience to the commandme nts Is the grand work of higher and spiritual perceptions. This is the foundation for the knowledge of our Lord and Savious, Jesus Christ. Other foundation can no man lay than Is laid. Shall we build a spiritual building--the architects ideal? The commandments on the forehead and on the doorpost must be also In the heart and in the life"

MAN BURIED ALIVE
 TURNS PUGILIST
SO GREAT WAS REACTION THAT ATTEND KNOCKED MAN DOWN WHEN TAKEN UP-FEELS WELL AFTER LONG SLEEP.

Carl Atheno. who slept under six feet of earth in a comatose state for six days and five nights, was disinterred Saturday night about 7:45 o'clock and promptly at o'clock he awoke. Four men were una ble to hold him when he recovered con sciousness so great was the muscular contraction after he had lain in the grave in an unconscious condition so long. He knocked one of the men off the small platform upon which the coffin was placed, and it was fnlly four minutes before he was able to control himself,
 Yesterday he said he felt no i'll effects from his long sleep, part of which time he was in water fully four inches deep. His only disability was slight pain in the shoulder.
 After being taken from the grave he was fed with warm milk at intervals of ten minutes for several hours, after which he went to sleep and slept soundly for several hours. Yesterday morning he took little beef tea and toast and yes- terday about o'clock he ate a hearty meal
 Atheno's pulse was taken at frequent intervals by physicians. When the body was first taken from the grave 1t was 54 a few minutes later 1t was "A and from that 1t rapidly jumped to 1o2 After he had been out of the grave about half an hour it became normal at S4.
 As one proof of his theory. Atheno says had he not been in a hynotc state he would have contracted pneumonia when taken out of the grave and undressed and redressed while the water was being poured from the coffin.
 Atheno believes disease can be cured by hypnotism. Today he will make a test case on a nurse at the Tally X McAdory Sanitarum who Is suffering of nervous prostration. She has not been without a headache for weeks, and Atheno will at tempt to place her in this state and hopes to cure by 1t.
 Atheno Is anxious to establish a pysco- logical association or club in Birmingham, and will make an effort today to have a meeting called of all interested in the science. Yesterday he had about fifty visitors all of whom were anxious to be- come members of an organization of this kind, and he believes there are a large number of others who would take the same interest

 MT. Johnson conducted three services yesterday, Il o'clock and 4:30 at St. Mary's and 7:30 D. m. at the Episcopal church in Avondale. The text of his morn- ing sermon follows:
 ''Ye shall diligently keep the command ments of the Lord your God. and his tes- timonies, and his statutes which he hath commanded you" Deut. vi17 He said:
 Tn the early chapters of Deuteronomy Moses exhorts Israel to obey the com mandments received on Sinai urging as reasons for their obedience their deliver. ance from bondage Gods loving provi- dence over Israel in the wilderness, and the possession of the promised land and the expulsion of the enemies of Gods chosen people.
 But Moses statesmanship enables him to penetrate the future with true pro- phetic instinct. There is another reason why Israel needs to obey the divine com mands. After all these years of trouble there will be abundant prosperity. Moseg foresees the temptation that prosperity will bring to the people. He realizes that in the time of great possessions and great powers they will forget the Lord God who had done such wondrous things for them. and forgetting will fail in their obedience of Gods commands. Therefore hs exhorts them to be mindful of the decafogue. and gives that summary of the law which
  in later times Jesus used. The law must be ever with them as frontiets be- tween their eyes and wofds of the law they must write upon the posts of their houses, and on their gales. In the words chosen as the text Moses bids them: 'Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord youy God. and his testimonies, and ais statutes which he hath command ed thee.', U
 gtI find in this passage and it's context a warning against an evil which all agree peculiarly assaiIs LIS in this day. It is the danger of materialism.
 Tn our day MT. Kipling has sounded for Saxon ears warning that ..as entered deeply into the soul of millions And vet his message was based on verses 10, Il and 12 of Deut. vi.
 'It is a real danger that faces us and our children. By no possibility can one call the danger of matcrialism the fancy of an idle brain, or the philosophy of the morbid There Is too much fact about it to be side-tracked as a nation. The ex- tent of the temptation and the effect of

Its Proper Meaning

Its Proper Meaning.
Mostpeoplehaye got the technique
of things dynastic at their fingers
ends this year. Nevertheless, says
the London Chronicle, our old friend,
the heir presumptiye, has again made
his incorrect appearance, this time in
the current number of the leading IL
lustratedpaper. The oldestson of the
prince of Wales is thus called in the
underline of a first-page illustration.
The prince in question is nobody's
heir presumptive; if his heredity is
to be mentioned at all, he must be
called the heir apparent of the
heir apparent. An heir pre-
sumptiye is heir pending the possible
birth of an heir in the direct line.
There is only one person more gen
orally misunderstood than the heir
presumptiye, and that is the morgan

is generally alluded to by English
Journalists as though her title were
a euphemism for some name ofmuch
more common kind, and as though an
alliance with her were not exclusive.
