CONGRESSMAN BURNETT
 HAS MUCH WORK AHEAD

feel confident Speaker Cannon will allow the bill to be called up.
 Another important question that I will devote my efforts to-, said MT. Burnett, 'is the opening of the Coosa river for navigation. With the removal of eighty miles of Instructions, the river will be navigable for s25 miles. This, according to the late survey, would cost three and a half million dollars. This, I think, should vitally affect the Birmingham dis trict. as it would put within thirty miles of Birmingham an outlet to the gulf. The Coosa has more water than the Hud- son at Albany and the Mississippi at St. Paul"
 MT. Burnett thinks that the Alabama members will fare well on the committees. Taylor and Underwood, he says, will be placed on the appropriations committee, and Bankhead will be placed on the rivers and harbors and the public buildings committees. Thompson VIII get on the war claims and the banking and currency committees, and Bowie on the agriculture committee. MT. Burnett will, of course, retain his place on the pubic lands com mittee,

MIR. BRADLEY IS NOW
 RENOWNED AS HUNTER
Well-Known Citizen and Nmrod Kills Barnyard Turkey In Two Shots.
 Friends Proud of His ProWess.

The friends of John c. Bradley, clerk wonderful tales of his prowess as a hunts man as exemplihed by his recent trip to Marigold Miss.
 "One of the most daring exploits took place on the morning of Thanksgiving, ? said Jim Hawkins, who was a member of the party. "He was invited by MT. Will mot to go to the barnyard and pick out the largest and finest turkey on the place and kill 1t for dinner.
 MT. Bradley was all excitement and was much worked up by the importance of his commission, for he realized that if his ability had not been extraordinary he would not have been picked out from among all the others for so important task. He spent half an hour industriously rubbing up his gun and then began to don his armor for the fray
 Putting on his hunting coat, pulling his hat down over his forehead, assuming fierce mien and filling his belt with shells he sailed forth to the barnyard He was not long in locating his victim and when within about five yards of the fowl he took very careful aim with his trusty shot gun and blazed away.
 'The turkey did not like the noise and to show his disapproval let forth an lndig- nant gobble and trotted over to a fence corner. But the redoubtable knight was not to be daunted. The second shot struck the fowl full fair in the cranium and the huntsman strode lustily back to the house for he had one more adventure to tell his friends when he got back to Birmlng- ham"

WRONG NEGRO IS
 ARRESTED AGAIN
THE MAN CAUGHT AT ATIAllA PROVES NOT TO BE HENRY KING, THE SLAYER OF POLICE MAN MULLlN.

Henry King, the negro wanted Tor Kill ing Policeman James H. Mullin' mas not been arrested. The negro "Kink' Will jams. alias King Williams alias Dick Morrow. who was caught yesterday at Attalla on suspicion proved to be the wrong man, although he was badly want ed by the police.
 The negro was brought to Birmingham yesterday about noon and Sallie Joyce negro woman identified him as the man who had beaten her about a year ago on the southside, and also as the one who shot a negro man in the eye here about the same time. She never identified him as Henry King, or as the man who shot and killed Policeman Mullin.
 Policeman Jim Ball, who knows King we'll and guarded him long time in the mines, states positively that this negro arrested yesterday is not the right one, and several others who knew King have stated the same thing.
 The negro arrested will be prosecuted for assault with intent to murder. He was brought to Birmingham by Police- men Thomson, Morris and Givens who went after him early yesterday morning. Chief Wier stated most positively last night that the negro was not Henry King He says the negro under arrest does not fill the description. He states, however that every man arrested Is carefully ex- amined by those who know King so as not to miss any chances of catching the negro.

John King Bound Over.

John King, the negro arrested Monday by Policeman Nix and Detectives Bodeker and Hamilton. was yesterday bound over to the criminal court on a charge of burg lary and grand larceny. His bond was set at $20O and in default of that amount he was sent to the county jail to await trial.
 The negro was charged with stealing a clock and a pistol from another negro who lives near Fifteenth street and Fifth alley. He was trying to pawn the clock when he was first seen. but told such a plausible story that he was not arrest ed. Later it was discovered that the stuff had been stolen and the negro was arrested

WILL ADVERTISE
 VULCAN BY MAIL
SECRETARY GIBSON PLANS TO HAVE CUTS MADE so AS TO PRINT PICTURES OF VULCAN ON BACK OF ENVELOPES.

A plan has been devised by Secretary Gibson of the commercial club for ad- vertising the Birmingham district, and at the same time making the Vulcan which is to represent the district, the best known exhibit to be at the fair.
 The plan is to have cuts made of the Vulcan and to have them printed on all the envelopes which are sent out of the city. This was done very effectually dur ing the state fairs, and it Is thought that 1t would make the Vulcan known all over the continent.
 By thus advertising the Vulcan, it would cause people to look 1t up after they get to the fair. and to cehtain ex- tent 1t would be a familiar object. The scription of the statue printed at the base so that people would understand what a task Birmingham has undertaken.
 Secretary Gibson has made arrange ments with young man In the city to have a large number of these cuts made,
 
 and with them will be few lines of de- scription. The cuts will vary in size, some being only two inches tall, to fit all sizes of envelopes. Other cuts can be printed lengthwise on the back of envel- opes.
 In speaking of the matter yesterday, Mir. Gibson said:
 
 If we can get the interest of the people all over the country aroused in the Vul- can by this means, it will be possible to do more real valuable advertisement than has ever been done before.
 "By putting the cut Of the Vulcan on the envelope, it will mean that thousands of them will go out of Birmingham every day and that the picture of the statue will be seen by hundreds of thousands of peo- ple every month. If one will stop a minute and estimate how many people handle a letter, and how many more see it. they will realize what an advertising medium this would be.
 By telling people about the Vulcan they will look for it when they reach St. Louis, and it will be to certain extent a feature They will expect it and will greet 1t to some extent liKe an old friend. I think I will take the matter up at the next meeting of the club and call the att tention of the members to it so that they will secure cuts"

Policeman Burke fired and the negro returned the fire. He again started running and Po- liceman Burke shot him one time. The negro partially fell, but recovered himself and ran past Policeman Hawkins, who shot at him three times
 Policeman Burke started down the alley again. and it was so dark that he could not see Policeman Hawkins saw dark figure coming towards him and with his pistol carefully aimed he ordered the fig ure to halt. It proved to be his partner who halted on the spot. Another step would probably meant a shot with the chances against Policeman Burke.

Policeman Burke had a narrow escape last night from being killed twice within less than minute and a negro who made one of the attempts was badly winged by a bullet from his pistol.
 The trouble occurred at Avenue and Nineteenth street about 10:SO o'clock. Po- licemen Burke and Hawkins went to that place to investigate some pistol shots they had heard and found several negroes standing around. Policeman Burke caught one and searched him for a pistol while Policeman Hawkins went down into an alley in search of other negroes. He was searching his negro when Policeman Burke had his trouble.
 It seems that Policeman Burke finished with the negro he had arrested and start ed down the alley to aid his partner. As he reached dark part he saw a negro

UNITED CHARITIES
 IN NEED OF COAL
MANY FAMILIES ARE ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE, AND COMMITTEE WILL ASK FOR CONTRIBUTIONS ToDAY-coLD SNAP HURTS.

The cold weather of yesterday and the threat of a snow storm caused great de- mands to be made on the United Charities for coal and provisions. The demands for coal was greater than it has been this season and the charity workers did not have sufficient coal in stock to SUD- ply them.
 The United Charities were forced to purchase coal. whereas all last year they lots Owing to the inability of the coal committee to get out and ask for the coal this year it has not been donated as freely as usual
 An effort will be made today to secure a number of donations, and all the large coal companies will probably be called on for contributions. It is estimated that about four or five cars of coal will be needed to last through the present cold snap.
 There are about 300 families in Birmlng- ham in need of assistance, an unusually large number, and most of them need coal more than anything else. On Thanksgiv- ing day the United Charities provided ninety-seven families with food and sup plies, and this was almost twice as many as on the previous Thanksgiving day. Many of these families needed coal but there was none to give except what was bought.
 Mrs. R. G. Lewis, president of the United Charities, said yesterday that any donations of coal made today would be gratefully received and acknowledged through the press of the city.

 In this position the roads have re- mained until now. In the meantime Rock Island has secured an interest in Har- rimans Texas lines, and has. apparently established an alliance with the Hartman interests more or less close.
 In the application to list the valley di- vision bonds two weeks ago no mention was made of any arrangement with Frisco It appears that at the last mo- ment the interests failed to agree on the terms of the arrangement.
