ficers of the company are anxious to

credit to the. city and the state. They
will require all members of the company
who wish to go to come UP to required
percentage in attendance and work, and
those who fall short will be left at home.
The plan which will be adopted is for
every member of the company to sub
scribe a certain amount every month I'M
til time to leave. This will be turned over
to the treasurer of the company, who will
give each member a receipt.

sum of money, and that 1t will be able to
make the trip In great style. 1t is the de-
sire of the officers that the company shall
make an excellent impression in st. Louis

the company are very much in favor of
the plan. and that a number of them
have promised to be present at every

WISE CASE WILL
BE HEARD TODAY
ATTORNEYS WILL PROBABLY
BASE THEIR ARGUMENT ON
THEORY THAT THE CRIME is
NOT PUNISHABLE cAPITALLY.

The habeas corpus case. of William
Wise, charged with the murder of Elias
M. Lathem in the lobby of the Morris
hotel on April Il. will come up before
Judge A. A Coleman of the Jefferson
County Circuit court this morning at 10
o'clock.
Wise is jointly charged with the offense
with Glen Hayis. who was recently tried
and convicted of murder IN the second de-
gree and sentenced to twelve and one
half years in the penitentiary.
1t is understood that the attorneys for
Wise will base their application for the
release of the defendant on bond on the
ground that he is not guilty of the Of
Tense IN the degree punishable capitally.
They will argue that since Havis was
the man who actually did the shooting
and that he was only found guilty in the
second degree that Wise could not have
been guilty IN the first degree. which in
Alabama is the only degree punishable
capitally.

OUPHANAGRB BLESSED
BY BISHOP ALLEN
BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY AT THE
OPENING OF THE INSTITUTION
AT EAST LAKE-NoBLE WORK
OF SISTERS PRAISED.

The blessing of the orphanage at East
Lake took place Yesterday morning. The
ceremony was conducted by the Right
Rev Edward P Allen. bishop of Mobile
He was assisted by the Very Rev. ]. A.
Hartnett. professor of theology at the
Niagara university of Niagara Falls
NY
The services were quite impressive The
bishop said mass at o'clock and the
music was rendered by Miss Alice Fall
Ion. Miss Maybelle Baptiste, Miss Mabel
Roy, Miss Ethel Clifford, Miss Susie
Fleming, John GaudIn and c. c. Flem-
ing.
The Orphans home is in charge of the
Sisters of Charity. four of whom have all
ready arrived. Sister Angelica win be
the principal.
This is the first of orphanages in north
ern Alabama. It was much needed, as so
many orphans had to be sent to Mobile
and New Orleans.
Bishop Allen delivered a happy address,
praising the noble work of the Sisters
who give up their lives for sweet charity's
sake The bishop referred to the noble
life of st. Vincent de Paul who lived
to be So years old. and his great work
for the orphans and the afflicted. The
speaker said in substance:
'As a proof of St. yincent's great love
for mankind he allowed himself to be
sold among the slaves OF wild Africa. St.
Vincent sang those beautiful hymns to
the slaves. which he learned as a poor
shepherd boy, he preached his holy doc
trine and converted all the slaves.
"St Vincent drifted in small boat
at the mercy of the sea, but safely landed
in Italy. where he once again went to his
native country. France. He was then
ordained priest and soon called con-
ference to stimulate a new zeal in Gods
holy work. He and his little band or
ganzed the societies OF nations, whose
purpose was to send missionaries to neg
1ected places. France was ruined after so
many deadly wars, and there were so
many orphans who had no homes, many
mothers being compelled to abandon their
children, as they could not support them.
This was In the sixteenth century. St.
Vincent. guided by God. organized the
Sisters of Charity, and hundreds of or
phans homes and hospitals were opened,
and cared for thousands.
1.-THE Sisters of Charity have spread over
the world; they go wherever they are
needed. whether on the battlefelds or in
the school room"

I2O CRAP SHOOTERS IN
NORTH BIRMINGHAM JAIL

heard of the raid was what would be the
feelings of the judge this morning when
he was faced by 120 prisoners charged with
the same offense. Allowing five minutes
for the trial of each defendant 1t would
take 600 minutes or 10 hours to dispose
of the whole crowd. If they are tried in
groups or are all tried at the same time
and a fine placed on each it was thought
that North Birmingham would have quite
snug fund with which to start the
building of their new school house. for
which bonds recently had to be issued.
One colored "gemmen" said that of
course different amounts figured IN diff
ferent crap games, but that he would be
satisfied with life for awhile If he had all
the money that was being used in the
games by the 100 men on Saturday night.
Another said that the bunch must have
looked like a regiment on its way TO Cuba

The deceased had been i'll for a little
more than two weeks. He was removed to

Wednesday. and his condition has been
critical ever since the operation was per-
formed the day he was moved. For the
past two days the physicians have thought
that he had little chance to live. He was
considered a very fine young business
man. and had the confidence of the peo-
pie of Birmingham.

DID $s5,ooo,ooo BUSINESS.
Persons Connected With Sou. Car G.
Fdry Co. Have Many Conferences.

Yesterday being Sunday, no new move
was made in the affairs of the Southern
Car and Foundry company, although the
northern representatives. of the New Jer-
sey receiver. T. A. Gillespie, and the
Standard Steel Car company. were in Bir-
mingham, and were said to be busy hold
ing conferences and mastering the details
of the company's business and the present
condition of its affairs
From a reliable source it was learned
that the business of the company amount
ed to more than ss5OOo,OoO annually. There
were more than 1900 hands employed in
Admission alone, and the semi-monthly
pay roll amounted to between $4,000 and
$4,000. This win be a hard blow to An
niston if the works should be idle for
any great length of time, as these 1900
comprise fully half of the factory hands
of the town.

Raids were made on several crowds Of
negro gamblers In North Birmingham
late Saturday night. with the result that
100 of them were lodged in the jail at
that place. and are now there awaiting
trial this morning.
It is said that the greater part Of the
men are employed at the pipe works at
North Birmingham, and thai. unless the
men pay their fines and are released
this morning, the works win be very
short of help.
The report of the raid reached town
last night and was the cause Of much
commotion in colored crap shooting cir
Giles. Speculation was rife as to how the
Jail at North Birmingham was able to
accommodate 100 guests at one time and
the only conclusion that could be ar
rived at was that they would have to
sleep two in a bed last night.

s. was rearrested late Saturday night by
Deputy sheriff G. W. Courson and is now
In the county jail. One Of his bondsmen,
S. ]. Brindle, made application to Sheriff
Burgin on Saturday to be released. and
the arrest was accordingly made.
At the time Smith was found he was
In the second story of building on South
Twentieth street in the company OF Miss
Gussie Gardner who figured prominently
in the preliminary hearing given Smith
before Justice of the Peace Alternately on
the Saturday following the killing. The
testimony showed that she was the only
witness to the affair.
The killing is said to have been chiefly
on Miss Gardeners account. as 1t was said
that both Smith and Wright were in love
with her and that the shooting arose from
a jealousy that existed between the two
men.
Was Killed at Boarding House.
The shooting occurred in the boarding
house of Mrs. Kirkland at the corner of
Eighteenth street and Avenue f. Miss
Gardner was the only witness present.
She had just rturned from the Bijou the
atre where she had been with Smith. and
they We're standing in the hall upstairs
talking when Wright appeared at the door
of his own room and according to Miss
Gardeners statement. had pistol in his
hand.
Smith quickly drew his own pistol and
fired three shots at him. Wright died
the following day as a result of his
wounds.
At the preliminary hearing the accused
was bound over to the grand jury under
bond of $500, which he made at once.
Had Another Experience.
Smith has been employed for several
years by the Birmingham Railway, Light
and Power company as motorman on
the North and South Highlands line. At
the time of the killing he gave his age
as 10. He is the motorman who had
charge of the car which ran over and
killed Mrs. Elizabeth b. Norris and her
infant child late In the summer of 1901 at
the corner of Twentieth street and Third
avenue
When the deputy went to arrest Smith
ON Saturday night he had considerable
difficulty in gaining admittance to the
room. it first being defined that he was in
the building. When the deputy did gair
entrance he says he found Smith armed
with large knife. but he made no espe-
cial resistance to arrest.
