HONEST DARKEY IS
 BURGLARS VICTIM
JIM CLARK, BELIEVING IN PRINT. ERs' INK, CALLS AT THE AGE HERALD OFFICE TO ADVERTISE FOR THE THIEF.

Jim Clarke believes in advertising. Jim is colored individual residing at sayre- two, and by his own statement is a hard working but an honest darkey."
 Jim walked into the office of The Age Herald yesterday just as a reporter was trying to finance 20 cent lunch, and un- folded tale of peculiar sadness. He was accompanied by a body guard of three husky dingy colored females who assist ed him in his story. Jim wanted to "ad- vertise for a burglar
 Frank somebody, with many aliases, has been the bane of Jim's existence of late. He causes him much mental agony and destroys his peace of mind. Jim cannot work without having disconsolate and terrifying thoughts of Frank. He cannot sleep without being haunted by a visit of Franks dusky form.
 Jim alleges that Frank steals for a Iivin," and claims that he is his chief victim. The latest prank that Frank played on Jim was to go to his home the other, day, steal a shot gun a box of shells, pair of shoes, eat his dinner, take a nap in Jim's bed, and go away leaving his own coat as a memento of his call.
 This last trick is what determined Jim to ignore the pert advice so often given of telling your troubles to policeman" and advertise in a newspaper which he had always heard brought results to ad- vertisers. The reporter advised Jim to go to the Chief of Police. Jim stated that he had tried that and 1t failed, and he wanted to be sure of getting Frank in the tolls of the law and .'fomostly" to get that gun back. Jim describes Frank as being just about his color; face pitted from small pox; wears a light colored hat and has on woman's shoes. Record: Served two sencences in the penitentiary; won't work, steals for a living; general bad man.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS UP
President of Engineering Association Speaks Highly of Hlrmlngham-He Thinks Van Hoose Might Be

While Saturday was spent by the mem bers of the Engineering Association of the South in visiting the various points of interest in and around Birmingham and was officially holiday, there was a great deal of discussion among the members touching the questions raised at their meeting on Friday.
 The association was organized in 1889 and regularly chartered under the laws of Tennessee in 1892, but 1t has been only within the last year or two that 1t has begun to make Itself felt as an influence in the affairs of the southern industrial and business world

From Many States.

From Many States.
 Among the members are found resi- dents of nineteen states and one terri- tory, and the membership is more than two hundred and at the present time in every month. every member of the asso- ciation being a man of mark in the com munity in which he lives.
 The consensus of opinion among the visiting members Is that the meetings held here this week were by far the most important in the history of the organiza- ton.
 All. or nearly all, of the contracts for engineering construction have embodied the following clauses:
 Omissions In Plans. Corrections of errors or omissions in drawings or specifi- cations may be made by the engineer when such correction Is necessary for the proper fulillment of the intention of such drawings or specifications. the effect of such correction to date from the time that the engineer gives due notice thereof to said contractor.
 Powers of the Engineer.-To prevent all suits and iitigations, 1t is further agreed by and between the parties to this contract that tho engineer shall in all cases determine the amounts of work done which are to be paid for under this contract; that he shall be the sole judge of the manner of construction, of the quality of materials and of the interpre- tation of the specifications; that he shall decide all questions which may arise relative to the carrying out of this con tract, and that his estimates, figures, measurements. directions and decisions shall be final and conclusive, neither party to this contract having recourse to the opinion of other experts"
 Ons of the members said: Now as may readily be seen from careful reading of these clauses, a contractor is almost signing a mortgage on his home when he signs a contract embodying these clauses.
 Tt also places in the hands of the en- gineer the power to hold up the con- tractor in case the engineer is looking for graft In any event 1t is a regular jug-handle form of contract and 1t Is no wonder that a convention composed of the best men of their respective callinRs in the south should stigmatlze these clauses as unjust and unfair The associ- ation feels that change in this matter must be made. and 1t seems to be their work to bring about the reform"

J. F. Mackie, ecretary-treasurer and editor of the Train Dispatchers' Associa- ton of America, spent yesterday in Bir- mingham en route to his home in Chi cago. He is accompanied by his daughter and niece. The train dispatehers have just closed their convention in Nashville. where there were several hundred mem bers in attendance. It was reported as the best and largest meeting of the Train Dispatcher association which has ever been held.
 The local members of the dispatchers' association met MT. Mackie and party at the Louisville and Nashville train yes~ terday morning and gave him a luncheon at the Hillman.
 Local Members.
 The local members of the association are MT. Callahan. MT. McMeelxin. Mir. McPherson, MT. Kirte, MT. Reed and Mir Monahan.

 Mir. Mackie waxed eloquent In his praises of Birmingham. It was his first visit to this city, although he ventured the assertion that 1t was the best known city in the south.
 We'll Advertised.
 He said that he had heard a great deal about Birmingham being the best adver- tised city in the south. but that any one who comes here must see that Birming- ham Is its own advertisement.
 The convention of the Train Dispatch CTS association was held last year in Pittsburg, and Mir. Maclie naturally felt like comparing the cities. He said that while there are many enormous steel plants in Pittsburg, he had never seen finer plant than the one in Ensley.

Warrior Canal.

Another matter that is greatly interest," ing the members of the association is the plan for the Warrior canal.
 They believe that 1t Is a matter of vital interest not only to Birmingham, but to the whole south.
 President G. M. Ingram of Nashville said; "1n every congressional district one of the test questions to candidates should be as to his attitude on the question of this canal, and unless he favored 1t he ought to be defeated"
