Committee Looking After Suitable
 Site-Meeting in Montgomery.

The Commercial club committee on securing the brigade encampment of the A. N. G. is still at work looking for a suitable place. and every afternoon mem bers of the committee go out to find the best location for the encampmcnt, pro- vided 1t can be brought to Birmingham
 Half dozen places have been found which will be suitable. or which can be easily made suitable, but the committee Is anxious to find place which will sur pass anything offered anywhere, and with that idea in view 1t is still searching
 The committee which has the location Of the encampment in hand will probably meet in Montgomery the latter part of this week, and then the propositions of the various cities will be made. It is said that Birmingham will be able to of- fer better Inducements than any other city. It is probable that prominent mem bers of the Commercial committee will go to Montgomery to attend this meeting.

ELECTION RETURNS
 STILL INCOMPLETE
School Tax Has Safe Majority
 of Three-ffths
THE BOND ISSUE IS CLOSE
LIoht Vote PoIled. But It Is Believed Court House Bonds as We'll as Local Tax Has Neces-
 sary Majority.

There is no doubt but what local taxa ton for the public schools of Jefferson county carried at the special election held on Monday. The vote was light all over the county, and although the returns are still incomplete, it is safe to say that the necessary three-fifths vote in favor of the issue was secured.
 There is still some doubt as to whether or not the court house bond issue car ried at the polls. Bessemer and other beats in the western portion of the county voted heavily against the issue of the bonds, but with the vote in Birmingham and q few beats yet to be heard from 1t is believed the issue has majority. The exact figures, however cannot be obtained until Saturday. when Sheriff Andrew W. Burgin. Probate Judge J. P. Stiles and Clerk of the Circuit Court Walter K. McAdory will canvass the returns of the election Only simple majority is neces- sary for the bond issue.
 The following returns nave been re- ceived SD far.

LARGE PARTY OF
 IRON MEN COMING
THREE HUNDRED MEMBERS OF BRITISH IRON AND STEEL INsTt TUTE WILL VISIT THIS coUN TRY EARLY N OCTOBER.

A party comprising some 300 members of the British Iron and Steel lnstitue will arrive in this country early in Oc- tober. to study conditions of the trade in this country and Canada.
 James A. MacKnight of Birmingham, but now in St. Louis in charge of the Vulcan statue, writes to the Age-Herad about the prospective visitors as follows
 These Britishers should be invited and all arrangements should be made to have them visit Birmingham as one of their great objective points this fall.
 '.Old timers will remember that large party from the same institution visited the city in 1890. They came in three trains of Pullmans, and slept and ate in the cars in the freight yards
 T have talked with a gentleman who was with them on that occasion and he gives me to understand that their lot was not a merry one when the noise, the dust. the mosquitoes, and a few other more or less animated circumstances are taken into consideration.
 Tt is imperative that Birmingham should secure visit from this eompan, of Lavants What they will now have tc say about developments at Birmingham since 1890 will make the welkin ring, believe the Commercial club will take m the matter, and the press and public should sustain their initiative in every WaYn

OLD CONFEDERATE
 TRAVELLING HOME
PRIVATE BRADLEY, PROBABLY OLDEST CONFEDERATE VET
 FRAN, ARRIVES IN BIRMINGHAM ON HIS WAY TO HOUSTON, TEX.

George Washington Bradley, probably rived in Birmingham yesterday afternoon from Nashville on his way to his home at Houston, Tex. Mir. Bradley has been attending the Confederate veterans re- union. He is staying at the Miller house while in Birmingham, and will be here until the latter part of the week
 The veteran Is 97 years old and al- though he has reached such an advanced age he still gets about without assistance. He could read very well until about a year ago, but cannot read at all now, and refuses to wear glasses. MT. Bradley was a private in the Third Missouri regiment during the war and took part In many of the engagements that made that struggle memorable. He recalls enga gements at Oak h.h, Boone ville Lexington, Pea Ridge Fairgrove and Draywood, in which he fought gal lantly, receiving three wounds and losing orte eye. His record during the war was a good one, and is a source of much pride him in his old age.
 Mir. Bradley was born June 3, 1907 at Lynchburg Va, his birthday being also the birthday of Jefferson Davis. After the war he settled in Missouri. He has lived in Texas only about year. He has no family but is quite a local char acter in Houston where he has many friends who sec that all his wants are supplied as the old veteran is not able to earn living now. He is a great fish erman, however, and takes frequent trips to the coasts with parties froms Hous- ton.
 Mir. Bradley is making the trip from Houston to Nashville and return with out assistance. Transportation for the round trip was furnished him by the Southern Pacific railroad and the old man finds many friends along the route who are glad to take care of him. He car ried some walking sticks and souvenirs to help pay his expenses at Nashville, but they were stolen from him when he was within forty miles of his destination. He says he had a fine time meeting the veterans. He is very favorably impressed with Birmingham He says the people here are very liberal and have shown him ev- cry kindness.
 A number of young men about town had the old man in charge last night and were escorting him about the city.

suIly Declines to Turn Over Keys to
 His House to Creditors.

New York, June 21.-At a meeting of the creditors ot Daniel J. Sully < GO. today, at which members of the bankrupt firm presented themselves for examination, MT. Sully declined to turn over to the trustee the keys to the house on Sixty-second street which he presented to Mrs. Sully last Christ mas.

 Aside from an emerald and diamond brooch, valued at S40,000, which he himself purchased, articles named in a bill presented ny Tiffany, the whole amounting to $110,000, were selected by Mrs. Sully. He first saw the vari- ous articles named in the bill, which included marble pedestal valued at $S5O, three bronzes all valued at about $4O00, a fish platter valued at $400, four vases 5000 and several other arti- cles lat Mrs. Sully's house, No. 6 East Sixty-second street."

WHITE MAN HELD
 ON ARSON CHARGE
w. J. MUSE ARRESTED IN coNNEc- TON WITH FIRE ON SOUTH EIGHTEENTH sTREET-oUT ON $15o BOND.

W. J. Muse, a white man about 25 years old, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives Bodeker and Hamilton on a charge of arson. Judge Feagin set his bond at $50, which he made.
 The arrest was made fin connection with fire which partially damaged house at sSo4 South Eighteenth street yesterday morning at an early hour. Muse occupies one-half of the house, and the nre orisi- mated in his side of the house under rather peculiar circumstances.
 The firemen yesterday morning found a fve-gallon can of oil turned over on the floor, and the fire seemed to have origi- mated or been started near this can. The detectives have secured evidence that Muse bought five-galon can of oil only few days ago. and that his wife and family are out of the city. Only recently he also took out $400 insurance on his furniture, which the detectives say Is not worth S100. The door between the room occupied by Muse and the room where the fire started was found open yesterday morning by the firemen while the othe. dooiS oA tile buitulu6 were iochtu
 The evidence is circumstantlal. but Chief Mullin and the detectives say that there Is not bit of doubt in their minds that the house was set on fire. Muse admits that the fire has every ap- pearance of having been of incendiary origin, and says he thinks someone set it on fire, out he asks why he should be <,.t,l.a living in the other side of the house. His friends also admit that the house has the appearance of having been set on fire.
