One more great effort will probably be made by the ladies of Birmingham to raise sufficient funds to erect the new dormitory at the Boys Industrial school at East Lake. At meeting to be held this morning at 10:8o o'clock they will decide the question of working at once to raise the money or of letting the mat ter drop until the next session of the leg islature. and allow scores of boys to be sent to the penitentiary or turned loose on the public to commit various crimes.
 The ladies have a large amount Of ma terial at the school, but no money with which to erect the building. The governor felt constrained to veto the bill appro- priating money for the building, and now the institution is practically without means.

LADIES WILL WORK FOR
 THE INDUSTRIAL HOME

Should the ladies decide to try and erect the dormitory they will appeal to the people of Alabama for the money. The addition would allow shelter for loo more boys, and there are now on file almost enough requests for application to fill the building. In the police court of Birming- ham there are several who, 1t is known, should be sent to the school, and who would be if there were room Yesterday application was made for Earnest Driver, the 10-year-old son of a widow. The boy was convicted of larceny of a grip full of clothing from his mothers boarding house. and of another theft. A decision will be reached today In regard to his going to the school. Judge Feagin has other boys that he wants to get in the school.

 The Isla de Luzon, which went out of commission about two weeks ago, was inspected by board and an estimate of the cost of repairs was gone over.

History of Gang of Boys.


 Judge Feagin gave an interesting his- tory of the gang of boys to which Ken nybrook and his brother, Jimmy Kenny brook, who now enjoys the reputation of being the best boy in the Industrial school at East Lake, once belonged. and of which they were the leading members. He said:
 "When I came on this bench seven years ago there were nine boys running wild about the city, and were frequently before me on various charges. Now every one of them Is either In Jail or a reform school Four of the boys are at the Industrial school at East Lake. Among them is Jimmy Kennybrook. who Is the brightest and best boy in the school He formerly led the gang, which would prize the bars of high windows and lower this little fellow through them. He would then tie stolen goods to the rope and the boys would pull 1t up. When they got as much as they could carry they would pull him up and all would escape. They had a regular organization and would throw out pickets to prevent the police from catching them.
 Five In Penitentlary.
 "The other five boys are in penitentiaries serving sentences for burglary and grand larceny, or worse crimes. Four of these five are in Alabama, while the fifth Is in Missouri, serving a long sentence on charge of manslaughter or murder. Had there been a reform school large enough in those days we could probably have saved all these boys, as we have saved four. The other five are criminals for life, and all because the state will not provide a place for their detention where they may be educated to the wrong of their ways.
 "It would be much cheaper for the state to provide a reformatory than to allow these boys to be at large part of their time and commit burglaries. Take the example of young Kennybrook In the past month he has stolen goods valued at nearly 5000. This sum would keep him ten years at the Boys Industrial school. and he would have left there a man. These are only two of the burglaries he has committed and there is no telling the amount of the goods he has stolen at other times. l think the state would save considerable money by providing a home for the boys Two of the other members of the old gang who are in the penlten- tiary are Charles Cook and Red Rig ger"

that he agreed to accompany me in

chance to repent of my folly.
