MIR. HUGHEY'O HOME
 WAS BURGLARIZED
NEGRO STOLE MONEY AND A BRoocH-HE THEN ENTERED MIR. WOODS HOUSE, BUT WAS FRIGHTENED OFF.

Two burglaries were committed last night within fifteen minutes of each other and within one block. It is believed that the same negro did both jobs. One of them was successful.
 The place burglarized was the resi- dence of MT. Hughey at 612 Seventeenth street, and a purse and some valuables were stolen. The negro also entered the residence of W. D. Woods at 6l0 North Eighteenth street. but was frightened away.
 During the thunder and lightning last night about 9:S0 o'clock Mrs. Woods saw a negro enter the house through win dow. She screamed and the negro jumped through the window and ran towards Seventeenth street.
 A few minutes afterwards it was dis covered at the residence of MT. Hughey that burglar had entered the room of the Misses Hughey and stolen a purse containing ten dollars, a gold brooch set with pearls, gold shirt waist pin and several other small articles.
 The burglar climbed through side window while the family was sitting on the front porch. The burglary was not discovered until some time after the burglar escaped. When he left the first house he ran directly towards the second.

LABOR NEEDED IN
 SOUTH AFRICA
Lord Milner Reports the Situa-
 ton as Alarming.
WANTS TO HIRE C00LlES
Chamberlain Generally Approves the Suggestions of Milner, But Says the Whole People Must
 First Be Consulted.

London July 29-The parliamentary cor respondence on the South African labor question was issued today Lord Miner, high commissioner for South Africa, telephoned Colonial Secretary Chamber lain on May 12, 1903, urging the employ ment of ten thousand Indian coolies for work on the railways. the coolles to be forcibly repatriated at the end of their service. Lord Milner represented the la bor problem to be alarming in South Af- rica. He reported that there were not enough natives there to meet the grow ing requirements for the development of the country's resources.
 Mr. Chamberlain replied on May 2S generally approving of Lord Miners sug- gestion, but stipulating for the assent of the whole white population in South Al rlca and explaining that it could only be done with the consent of the Indian government. According to MT. Chamber lain's statement in the house of commons last Monday. when he declared that as long as public sentiment was hostile to the proposition he would not consent to 1t, but he believed opinion was changing, the question is stills unsettled, probably owing to the reluctance of the South Af rican people to remove the restrictions on Indian immigration.

SERIOUS RIOTS IN PERSIA.
Outbreak Directed Against Religious
 Reformers Called Babs.


 London, July 30.-The Times this morn Ing describes serious religious riots in the city of Yezd in central Persia which last ed more than a fortnight and eliminated at the end of June. The outbreak was directed against religious reformers call ed Babis. In the city for two days every Babi found was butchered by the rabble and the mutlated bodies were dragged through the streets followed by exultnat crowds. Houses were footed, women beaten and killed and finally the priestly leaders of the riot enjoined the popu- lace to bring all the remaining Babis be- fore the governor for judgment The gov ernor refused at first to yield to threats of the mob but his palace was surround. ed by men and the following day he con- sented One Babi taken before him was blown from the mouth of a cannon and. another was killed and, dragged through the town.

Many Smallpox Cases Treated. But

 Anniston, July 29.-(special) )-since the 1st of January 300 cases of smallpox have been treated at the pest house. and not a single case has resulted in death. Neither have there been any deaths from the disease in Anniston unless some cases have escaped the vigilance of the of- ficers. Those afflicted have been we'll treated. That the disease mas been en- tirely eradicated, necessitating the clos ing of the pest house, is fortunate. Com pulsary vaccination has doubtless had much to do with the effectual stamping out of the disease.

COUSINS FIGHT
 OVER BIG ESTATE
Property Left by W. !. Briarly
 in Dispute
STATUTES ARE AT VARIANCE
Tennessee Heirs obtain a Valuable Package of Bonds From Box In a Louisville Bank--Kentucky
 Heirs Are Too Late.

Louisville, Ky. July 29.-Cousins have Joined in what bids fair to be a long legal struggle over the possession of the estate of William II. Bryarly, the aged tobacco dealer, who died here about six weeks ago, leaving an estate of about $1s000o. The controversy hinges on the difference between the Kentucky and Tennessee inheritance laws. The Ken lucky laws includes the descendants of the next of kin, while the Tennessee statute gives the inheritance to the next of kin only where they are alive.
 If possession Is to count for nine points of law In this case the Tennessee eous- ins have all the best of 1t, for they re- gently possessed themselves of valu- able package of bonds and securities left by MT. Bryarly in his safety value box at the Louisville Trust company and 1t Is probable that by this time 1t is locked up somewhere over the Tennessee line.
 An injunction suit filed by the Kentuckans elicited this information. The Tennessee claimants are James Glenn. Sr., of Clarksvile his son James Mrs. Patty Tinsley also of ClarksYille and the heirs. if any exist. of R.. P. Glenn, now dead

MAN RUN OVER BY
 A FREIGHT TRAIN
WAS BRot Chr TO BIRMINGHAM ON A. c. 6. NO. AND DIED AS TH1 TRAIN PULLED INTO THE STATION.

An unknown man, who Is supposed to be a travelling barber, was run oyer and fatally injured by an Alabama Great Southern freight train, No. S2, at Spring vile last night. The man was brought to Birmingham on No. l, which arrived about midnight, and died as the train was coming into the union passenger station.
 The remains were carried to Llge Loy's undertaking establishment There was nothing on the body to identify the man. He had two razors and a strop, and for that reason 1t was surmised that he was a barber. He also had 167 pennies and bunch of keys in his pocket.
 The mans head was badly bruised, hls leg was broken and he had other in- juries. He Is described as being about five feet eight inches tall, smooth shaven, of dark complexion and weighing 15O or 16O pounds. He wore ordinary working clothes.
 The body will be held for Identification for a day or two, and if no one claims 1t by that time 1t will be buried by the rail- road company.

WEST END TO BE EXTENDED.
Intention to Have the Limits Include
 Eyton and Cleveland.

A movement is on foot among the mayor and board of aldermen of West End to extend the boundaries of that suburb 50 as to include Elyton and Cleveland. The intention is to have the eastern boundary line of West End reach right up to the boundary line of the city of Birmingham.
 At the meeting of the West End council on Tuesday night committee, consisting of Aldermen P. s. Milner, F. J. Plosser and John A. Snider, was appointed to in- vestigate the matter and report back at the next meeting of the council.
 Mass meetings will be held in Elyton and Cleveland to consider the proposi- ton. It is said that if the citizens are agreeable a bill will be prepared to sub init to the next meeting of the legisla- ture. The corporate limits of West End would, under such a measure, include more territory than either Avondale or Woodlawn.
