FRUIT IN DANGER PROSPECTS THREATENED BY COLD WAVE LAST NIGHT. Hlgh Winds May Have Saved the Buds from the Frost, But
 More Danger Comes
 Tonight.

The weather clements seem to be com bining to ruin Alabama's chance for a fruit crop this year the same as last. Up to yesterday, the peach and plum prospect in this State was bright, with the trees in nearly full bloom over the southern two-thirds of the State.
 The Weather Bureau issued warning yesterday for cold wave and tempera- ture about freezing in this section by this morning. At the rapid rate the temperature was dropping last night it is to be feared the warning will be veri- fled.
 The only redeeming featur of the weather outlook is that the fresh to brisk wind accompanying the cold cnange may prevent formation of frost. If this is so, and the temperature does not get low enough to freeze and burst the struc- ture of the fruit buds. the fruit crop will not be seriously injured.
 The bureau'ss warning has been well distributed among the truckers. orchard ists and strawberry growers of this sec ton, many of whom are prepared to take precautions against frost damage, and the warning to these interests is of incalculable value.
 Tonight may be as cold as this morn ing, or a little more so, with the addi- tiona1 danger of a comparatively still atmosphere.
 The temperature here yesterday morn ing was GA degrees. At the same hour 1t was and 8 below zero in the Dakotas and Montana. above at Dodge City, Kans., and 0above at Abilene, Tex, with the cold wave then moving rapidly southeastward over the Graat Plains.

having shot Kollock Helmy in the arm
on July , near Lincoln Park was ar
rested early yesterday morning at his
home by Detectives Davis and Bos-

detectives met about daylight and got
to the house before the negro was
awake.
Young denies having done the shoot
ing. He gives the name of the negro
he says he believes shot Helmy. He
was in store at the time the shoot
ing started. he says. The negro whom
he charges with doing the shooting
had just passed with a pistol, he says,
and a few minutes afterwards he heard
the shots. He claims there was a
crowd of negroes in a wagon. who
were shooting, and the man who shot
Mr.. Helmy must have been shooting
at them.

time ago charged with shooting an
other negro He declared in that case,

MONEY STOLEN FROM
UNDER SLEEPER'S PILLOW,
w. F. Henaken Reported TO Police
He Was Robbed While Asleep.

William F. Henaken reported to the
police yesterday that he had been rob-
bed of $50 while asleep in his room
on the third floor of No. 322 Broughton
street, west.
Mr.. Henaken said he had the money
in his trousers pocket and placed them
under his pillow for precaution. He is
positive he locked his door and it would
not have been possible for any one to
have entered one of the windows, they
are so high from the ground
When he awoke yesterday morning
he noticed that his door was partly
open. This surprised him. as he had
locked the door and left the key on
the inside he says. He found the key
on the floor His watch In his vest
pocket and some small change in his
coat, both of which were on chair,
had not been taken. His trousers,
which he had left under his pillow,
were found on the floor. An eXamina-
ton showed that the $50 was missing.
The case is a particularly difficult
one for the detectives to work on, as
nothing but money was taken, and
there is no way of identifying It. Mr..
Henaken says he should have sent the
money off within the next few days,
and he is particularly sorry about los
ing it for that reason.

PHOTOGRAPH FOR WIFE;
BIBLES FOR CHILDREN.
Last Request of Calvin Was for
Gifts to Relatives.

Last Request of Calvin Was for
Gifts to Relatives.
The last request made by Willie CAL
win, the condemned murderer of Rosa
Pace, was that two photographs of
himself be taken and sent to his wife.
He also asked that Bibles be pro-
cured for each of his children and that
he be allowed to write in their names
and then send them. The request was
made of Mrs. Richard Webb at the
close of the service held in the Jail
Wednesday afternoon.
The Bibles were at once procured,
and after the murderer had written the
name of each child in the front of the
books, they were turned over to Mrs.
Webb to be sent to the children. An
arrangement was partially completed
with a photographer to take Calvins
photo.
At the close of the meeting Calvin
thanked the ladies of the w. c. T. L.
for their kindness to him during his
incarceration. He assured them that
their religious teaching had not been
in vain, but he had accepted Christ
and believed his sins had been for
given.
