PITCHED BATTLE
 WITH OFFICERS
A NEGRO IN A BARN AT NORTH BIRMINGHAM FIRES FIFTEEN SHOTS AT TWO POLICEMEN, BUT IS FINALLY ARRESTED.

Policemen McDuf and Strong of North Birmingham had pitched battle yester- day afternoon with Joe Steel, a negro, In which about 30 shots wer fired. No one was wounded by the bullets, but hole was shot through the hat of Policemen McDuff and two bullets went through each leg of Policeman Strong's trousers.
 The two policemen faced fifteen bullets from the negro's pistol, and finally made him surrender. While he was shooting at them the negro was protected behind the walls of barn in which he had sought refuge, and although the police men riddled the barn, they were unable to see the negro and did not him him a single time.
 The negro has stated that be was from Texas and was accustomed to being shot lets while he was penned up In the barn. Steel was wanted by the policemen on charge of assault with intent to murder on Will Anderson, a negro, who he beat up badly Tuesday afternoon.
 The two policemen went after Steel and he started running. They ran him for several blocks and finally he ran into this barn and opened fire on the police men through a crack. He was using No. 3s calibre Colts revolver with a G. inch barrel, and he emptled it three times, holding the officers at bay all that time. They stood out in the open and shot at the negro. each emptying his pistol twice. The policemen finally forced the negro to come out of the barn and surrender. Just as he surrendered Chief Cole arrived. Had the negro refused to come out he would have been killed. The barn Is in the southwestern portion of North Birming- ham.
 The negro has been locked In the coun- tv iail with three charges of assault with intent to murder against him. One Of these charges is for the assault on the negro, and the other two are for assault ing the policemen.
 The negro had every advantage of the policemen in the fight, as he was protect ed both by the darkness of the barn and the thick blanks which form its sides, while the policemen were out in the light with absolutely no protection. Chief Cole comended them very highly Tor their bravery in staying there and shooting II out with the negro.

 The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says
 Tn the last twelve months the leading railroads of the country have borrowed more than s1oo,o0oooo on short-term notes. The fact that large number of these notes mature within the next few months has served to raise the question in finan- cial circles as to how these obligations will be financed. Not In years have the railroads had so many short-term notes outstanding as at the present time.
 "The railroads began issuing short-term notes early in 1903. Such an enormous amount of new securities had been is- suer in the previous two years that the security market was found to be in a most congested state. Even railroads with unquestioned credit found 1t impos- sible to issue new stock or bonds to ad- vantage. It was necessary for most of the railroads to raise capital to carry on the necessary Improvements and so re- course was taken to issuing short-term notes.
 Instead of providing permanently for the money by issuing stocks and bonds, the railroads were forced to enter the market and borrow the money for twelve or eighteen months. The idea was that the money could be borrowed temporar- fly in this way and that by the time the notes matured the financial position would be sosmuch improved that the railroads would be able to issue stocks or bonds. and thus pay off their obligations.

 Charge Against Solicitor.
 The charge against Solicitor Hefiin is that he induced Printer Rhame to swear falsely on the stand when he swore that he saw Brewer in Birmingham on the night of January 25 and that Brewer told him (Rhame) that he had just come in from Montgomery.
 George Taylor Is the negro waiter in Fleming's restaurant who testified that he saw Brewer in the restaurant on the night of the shooting in Birmingham, and the same night that Secretary of State Hefiin and Captain Dexter stated they saw Brewer there
 Solicitor Heflin said last night when he returned to the city that he had not been arrested on the warrant, and that he thought the charges were made against him and his brother for political effect purely "Of course the charges are absurd and ridiculous said Mir.
