BOYS INDUSTRIAL
 SCHOOL NEEDS AID
MRS. R. D. JOHNSTON IN MONT GoMER( TO ASSIST IN HAVING BILL PASSED FOR ADEQUATE APPROPRIATION.

Mrs. R. D. Johnston, president of the board of managers of the Boys Industrial school, situated at East Lake, who went to Montgomery on Tuesday morning, will assist in getting the legislature to pass a bill appropriating a sufficient amount of money for the proper maintenance of the institution.
 A bill has been prepared by several at torneys here looking to securing an ap- propriation to erect additional buildings at the school. and also looking to in- creasing the appropriation for the main tenancce of a larger number of boys in the home.
 At present there are over sixty boys in the school, and they are very much crowded. The capacity of the school was formerly limited to about fifty, but as so many boys who were entitled to a place were sent to the school the man. agers of the institution stretched the space and crowded in an additional ff- teen.
 There are now in Birmingham, accord ing to Judge Feagin, who Is probably bet ter informed than any one else in the city, at least twenty-five boys who are fit subjects for the Industrial school, or the jail but who are not sent to either place. It is feared that If these boys are sent to the jails that they will be- come hardened criminals. and there is not room for them in the Industrial school, therefore Judge Feagin has turned loose several of them who were convicted of crimes in his court on promise of good behavior.
 The bill providing for large appropria- ton will probably be introduced within the next few days and 1t is believed it will be passed by safe majority. The text of the bill has never been made public, but 1t calls for large sum of money and also asks that the managing board of the school shall have increased powers.

JUDGE BINDS OVER
 THREE DEFENDANTS
JOHN BREWER, MILDRED HARRIS AND MARIE LEWIS HELD ON CHARGES OF LARCENY FROM THE PERsoN-BoND $2oo.

John Brewer, alias Cowboy Mildred Harris and Marie Lewis were yesterday bound over to the Criminal court by Justice of the Peace I. H. Benners on charges of larceny from the person of Frank M Brundidge.
 Brewers bond was set at $500, Mildred Harris bond at $500 and Marie Lewis bond at $200.
 Judge Benners held that the three were not guilty, according to the evidence, of highway robbery, as they were charged but were guilty of larceny from the per- son. He stated that the evidence show ed that the money was taken from the person of Brundidge on the night of Jan uary in a house over Rickman's bar on South Twentieth street. Judge Ben ners further stated that if the charge of robbery had been proven that it would not have been a bailable case.
 An effort was made by the attorney for the defendants to have the confessions of the two women thrown out but this was overruled by Justice Benners. It is un- derstood that a fight will be made on this point in the Criminal court when the trial is set there
 The defense also claimed that there was no evidence to show the commission. of crime. only the statement of Brundidge that $2S0 was missing from his pockets. They cited several cases where a man had awakened from drunken stupor to find money missing.
 The testimony of the state was to the effect that the two omen had confessed that Brewer and Brundidge came to the room over Rickmans saloon together and that Brewer took s2S0 from the pocket of Brundidge. It was also shown that the two men had been drinking together on the night of the robbery and had been together at this hous>. The women also testified that they had heard some heavy body fall down the steps and that a min ute afterwards Brewer came into the room. Testimony was also offered to the effect that Brundidge was picked up at the foot of the steps leading to this house.

ABE WILLIAMS TURNS
 WITNESS FOR STATE
RBV. ]. (. MURRAY
 VISITS BALTIMORE
NO ANNOUNCEMENT YET AS TO WHETHER OR NOT HE WILL Ac-
 cEPT THE CALL TO ST. MICH.
 AEL'S.

The Rev. John c. Murray and Mrs. Murray left last night for Baltimore, and will be absent from Birmingham until about the middle of next week.
 Mir. Murray received a call recently to the rectorship of St. Michaels and All Angels. in Baltimore and he goes to lcol1 over the parochial field there. He de- olined yesterday to give any intimation es to whether or not he would accept the call. but It is generally believed that he will accept.
 The church of the Advent, of which Mir Murray is rector. is one of the strong est in Alabama, and the congregation Is deeply attached to it's rector, and he is greatly interested in his work here, but St. Michaers and All Saints is one of the leading churches in Maryland, and bis friends appreciate the fact that his sphere of usefulness would be very much in- creased in becoming rector of a church like the one that calls him.
 During the absence of MT. Mrr- ray the noon prayer service in the chapter house of St. Andrews Brother hood will take place as usuai, and with the exception of the holy communion in the church at 7:30 a. m., there will be no interruption to the Sunday services. The music at Il o'clock Sunday and on Sunday night will be more elaborate than usual.

JIM WEBB TALKS
 CALMLY OF DEATH
Was Not Surprised at Supreme
 Courts Decision
READS HIS BIBLE DAILY
Slayer of Policeman Walton Was 5ap- tIzed By SprInkllne, But He Now Desires to 6a
 Immersed.

"The third chapter of John Is my whole faith, and I often read that chapter of the Bible where 1t tells of Nicodemus and that a man can be born again and be saved" said the negro Jim Webb yester- day afternoon when he was told that ne must die for killing Policeman w. P. Walton.
 Webb is to be hanged on March 13 The Supreme court has affirmed the decision of the Criminal court of Jefferson coun- ty where Webb was tried and convicted of the crime of killing the officer a year ago.
 The doomed man Is in the county Jail chained to his cell. When he was told Of the decision of the Supreme court he ex- hibited no visible emotion. He seemed to expect that the verdict would be such as to make the gallows his fate. Formerly Webb has at times been very wild in his cell, and 1t was because of this that he was chained. and in addition, for the req son that he made an attempt to break jail by boring a hole with a steel cot spring through a wall over the warden's office.
 Webb admitted yesterday that he fired one shot at the time the police officer was killed. The negro was charged with assault on a man and the officer went to search for him in a room in a negro house. As he started to enter the room at the head of stairway Webb opened a door and fired at him. The shot took effect and the officer died in a short time.
 The condemned murderer is a negro of unusual intelligence. He is an artist of no natural ability and has amused him self while in jail by drawing pictures.
 When told yesterday that he would have to die Webb said simply, Well, guess it is all up with me. I will just go out there and let them hang me-"
 He expressed desire yesterday after noon to be baptized according to the Bap- tist mode of baptism. He says when a child he was sprinkled but he believed emerson was better. He further said he wanted preachers to call and talk to him. T have been praying a great deal lately and want to be prepared to meet my God" said Webb yesterday. He reads daily a Bible he has in the cell.
 Webb is a low negro, rather stoutly built, and has a small moustache.

Shot His Friend.

Brownsville. Tenn, June s.
Otis Lyle was shot this morning
shortly before daylight by DR.. John
Sewer and it was at first thought
seriously wounded. Tonight, how
ever, Mr.. Lyle is out of danger.
The shooting was regretted by no
one more than DR.. Sewer, as the
men were the best Of friends.
1t seems that for the past two
weeks DR.. Sewer has been the
victim of prosecutions. The perse-
cutions began with the defacing of
his front fence, some one coming in
the dead Of night and daubing his
gate and fence posts with mud an d
filth.
He tried to catch them, but failed.
They became holder and began to
leave threatening "Ku-Klux" notes
nailed on his front door, warning
him to leave town on the pain of
the most awful death and punish.
ment.
Finally watch was set, his
friends doing all they could to help
him catch the midnight providers
with the "Ku-Klux" notes.
Last night DR.. Sewer determined
to stand one of the watches himself
His friends had been doing this for
several nights, staying on duty with
guns till O'Clock a m. but seeing
no one. Last night the doctor took
a double barreled shotgun and took
his position on the front porch.
About $50 O'Clock man, whom he
did not recognize marched quickly
into the front gate. The doctor
halted him and commanded his
hands up. The man, Otis Lyle it
proved to be, instead of stopping,
not knowing who was issuing the
command or that the house was in a
state of seige, started to run. Al
that the doctor turned loose both
barrels of the gun and Lyle fell to
ground, calling for DR.. Sewer.
1t was all over in a few seconds,
and as soon as Lyle called out the
doctor realized that there was a
mistake. He rushed to his friend,
and the neighbors, hearing the shot
and knowing all about the watch,
came running to the scene.
Otis Lyle had come TO Browns
vile Sunday night to visit his
brother, George Lyle, and during
the night one of the children was
taken sick. He went for the doctor
knowing nothing of the armed
watch, and ran into the loaded trap.
