NO EVIDENCE TO
 HOLD M. R. HEFLIN

Marion R. Heflin, the young man arrest ed Thursday afternoon by Policemen Burke and Culpepper on suspicion of be- ing concerned in the killing of J. P. War ren, was yesterday afternoon released, there being no evidence to hold him.
 It seems that he had been talking very freely about the killing of Warren and the police thought he knew more about 1t than he did He was closely questioned by Detectives Bodeker, Hamilton and Patton. They discovered that Hefiin was under the effects of intoxicants when he did the talking and therefore they turned him loose.
 Ramsey is still in the county jail. where he was taken Thursday. Coroner Paris and the city detectives are collecting evil dence against him. The trial before Jus tice of the Peace J. B. Abernathy will probably be next week.
 Ramsey is accused of killing J. P War ren by striking him on the head with a heavy stick last Sunday afternoon near North Birmingham. At the time Warren was with Mary Harrison. whose arm was broken by a blow from stick. She has made a statement accusing Ramsey of the crime.

 KILL NEGRO WOMAN
STICK OF DYNAMITE WAS USED IN EFFORT TO PUT AN END TO ANNIE MEYER-STARTLlNG Ex- PLoSloN.

An attempt was made yesterday morn ing about o'clock to kill Annie Meyer, negro, who lives at 1716 Avenue B, by blowing up her house with stick of dy- namite, and it is nothing short of marvel ous that the woman escaped.
 A large stick of dynamite was exploded in her room, and everything in the house was shattered into splinters by the force of the explosion, while the woman es- capped with only one slight wound and a number of small bruises.
 The entire room was demolished, the furniture was torn to splinters and even articles in the adjoining rooms were dam aged by the explosion, but the woman who was only a few feet away, escaped.
 The police are Investigating the case but they have not found any clews which will aid them in catching the would-be murderer. According to the story of the woman she was awakened by smelling a burning rag In the room. She saw a flame near the lamp on the dresser and a burning rag wrapped around the lamp. She jumped out of bed to put the fire out and before she had taken three steps a terrific explosion threw her to the floor and stunned her for some time. When she regained consciousness she was bleed- ing profusely from a wound in the neck, where a piece of metal had lodged. She ran into the next room where her mother and sister were. They were badly shaken and greatly frightened by the explosion. Neighhors were also awakened and ran to the house.
 The attempt was not reported to the police until about o'clock yesterday morning The woman has given the police the name of a person who has been an enemy of hers for some>t time anu who has threatened her life several times. She be- lieves that this person was back of the plot to kill her.

DO NOT WANT CITY LIMITS ENLARGED North Birmingham Opposed [
 Being Scooped In PASS STRONG RESOLUTION Say 1t Will lnIure the Young and Thriving City to Become
 Part of Greater Rir-
 mlngham.
PASS STRONG RESOLUTION

At the meeting of the North Birming- ham board of aldermen. held Thursday night the following resolution touching the Greater Birmingham movement was unanimously passed:
 Whereas, there is being agitated the question of extending the corporate limits of Birmingham so as to include part or all of North Birmingham, and
 Whereas, such an extension would work a great hardship on our citizens and tax payers, in that their taxes would be doubled, and;
 Whereas. the rapid growth and prosper ity of North Birmingham is directly the result of the location within her corporate limits of numerous industrial plants, em- ploying large capital and a great number of mechanics, operatives and laborers and,
 Whereas, the future growth and pros perlty of North Birmingham is largely de- pendent on the location and establishment of other industrial plants and,
 Whereas such industrial plants refuse to locate within the corporate limits of Birmingham because of her high tax rate, and
 Whereas, It Is un-democratic and un- American to take away the right of local self-government, to levy a tax without lhC OOhstlll Ol lHe peODlt,~ anu tO ieNy a tax without returning to it's payors a corresponding benefit; therefore, be it
 Resolved, by the intendant and alder men of the town of North Birmingham That the senator from this district, and the members of the house of representa- tives from Jefferson county be. and they are hereby most earnestly requested and urged to use every honorable means to secure to the town of North Birmng- ham and the electors thereof in any measure that may be introduced in the legislature looking to such extension, the right to vote upon such extension or an- nexation, separately and Independently of any other vote.

A NEeRo's HOBBY.
He Had Weakness for Incandescent
 Llght-ln Trouble.

Because he believed in a plenty of light and insisted on distributing the means for obtaining that light at much lower figure than the manufacturers could, John Anderson, a negro, was arrested yester- day morning by Policemen Disheroon, Ba- ker and Murphy on a charge of grand larceny.
 The peculiar method of distributing light which John resorted to was stealing incandescent lamps everywhere he could find them and selling them for s1 dozen to anyone who would purchase them. The negro had a regular equipment consisting of screw drivers of various sizes, pliers, wires and everything necessary to make it easy to steal the lights.
 When arrested the negro had three dog en lamps in his pockets, and the police have traced number of other dozens which he disposed of at low figure.
