NEGRO INTERFERED
 WITH THE POLICE
WILLIAMS ADVISED NEGROES NOT TO TELL POLICE ANYTHING WHEN POLICEMAN MULLIN WAS klLLED-FlNED $50.

Will Williams, the negro who gave the police much trouble on the night that Policeman Mullin was killed, was yester- day fined $50 by Judge Feagin on a charge of interfering with an officer in discharge of his duty.
 It will be remembered that when the policemen went to the place where Pos llcernan Mullin was killed and commenced an investigation this negro advised other negroes not to tell the d--d policemen anything.
 Williams was arrested and brought to the city jail where he barely escaped getting into more serious trouble. In ad- vising the negroes not to tell anything he was talking specially to Annie Robinson and Levenia White, the two women who asked the policeman to arrest Henry King.
 In fining the negro Judge Feagin took occasion to say that in such cases a negro should receive severe punishment, as 1t was a direct attempt to defeat jus ticse. The policemen were also praised for their cooness and control in not in- turing the negro at the time his actions having been sufficient to justify them making it rather rough for him.

Meeting of the Commercial Club Com
 mittee Next Tuesday.

A meeting of the St. Louis exposition eX- hibit committee of the Commercial club has been called for next Tuesday after noon at o'clock to commence active work in raising funds to defray the ex- penses of the exhibit.
 At this meeting the class of exhibit will also be decided and a subcommittee will be appointed to raise the funds. The indi- cations are that there will be no trouble in getting the money required-about $15,- GOO or s2OO0O-as a number of prominent men and some of the corporations have told President Jackson. of the club that they would be willing to contribute liberally.
 It is probable that the suggestion of J. A. MacKnight will be adopted. This is for a colossal iron figure about 45 feet high. to be erected from the mineral resources of the district and placed in the mineral building at the exposition. It is intended that the statue shall be made of coal and iron, and that it shall be brought back to Birmingham and placeo in a park after the exposition.
