FAIL TO CATCH TRAIN.
Members of the Runaway" Company
 Had Bad Luck.

There were three hard luck stories heard at the union passenger station yesterday morning when three of the members of 'The Runaways" failed to catch the train and were left over. Not only did they fall to arrive in Knoxville in time last night to appear in the performance. but they were rather shy of travelling expenses and this places them in bad predica- ment.
 The worse part of the trouble. however. is at the other end where the company had to go on the stage last night without two of the leading people. and under studies had to be used. The members left here were Mabel Carrier. who takes the part of Dorothy HardtacK. the prettiest and best member of the cast. She is ac- companied by her mother, who always travels with her. The other is Jack Klo- vile, who is the lord high chancellor of the Island of Table DHote.
 The three left last night and were sched- uled to arrive in Knoxville this morning at 2 o'clock.

MERCHANTS PREPARING
 FOR SPRING OPENINGS
Railroads Will Not Grant Board of Trades Request for Excursions
 on Opening Dates.

The idea of the merchants having ex- cursions run into Birmingham for the big spring openings on the 14th and 18th of this month will not be carried out, as the railroads have refused on the grounds that 1t would set precedent for other cities.
 At the last meeting of the Board of Trade a resolution was passed asking the railroads for special rate and excursions into the city, and committee was ap- pointed to see the travelling passenger agents. A reply to the request was re- ceived yesterday and 1t Is practically refusal The letter was from c. L. Stone, general passenger agent of the Louisville and Nashville, and 1t Is thought he voices the sentiments of the other passenger agents.
 Nearly all the merchants have planned to have their openings on the dates named The openings will go merrily on whether the railroads run the excursions or not. The merchants feel that they will be able to fill their houses whether or not

POLICE COURT ITEMS.

Several people, both whites and negroes, were bound over to the criminal court yesterday by Judge Feagin in the police court on various charges. from grand lar ceny to robbery. Yesterdays was the lar gest number bound over to the criminal court In a long time In one day, and 1t shows that the police department Is doing very effective work in breaking up the various gangs of thieves which have op- erated in the city for long time
 Robert McManus, young white man, was bound over on $200 bond for stealing from his mother. who runs a millinery store in the city hall The boy has been in the court before on similar charges and at last 1t was decided to send him to the county jail and see If a sentence there was set at $200 and in default of that amount he was sent to the county jail
 Jessie Jones, a negro. was bound over on a $500 bond, charging robbery of s3 from Tom Pinkard She was unable to make the bond. Emaline Smith, a negro woman, was bound over on a charge of robbery of watch and her bond was set at S10O0 which she was unable to make. She was sent to the county jail.

Perjury Charges Against Two Witnesses in Shugart Case
MILD SENSATION SPRUNG
Solicitor HeflIn Was Not Ready to Proceed Yesterday Afternoon Against Willis Brewer, Jr,
 and George p. Howell.

The preliminary trials of Willis Brewer, Jr. son of ex-congressman Brewer and George P Howell. charged with per jury. which were set for yesterday after noon before Judge I. H. Benners of the inferior court of Birmingham were con tinued until this morning at o'clock up- on motion of the prosecution.
 The arrest of the defendants took place during the recent habeas corpus proceed ings for Roland T. Shugart before Judge Dan A. Greene of the Criminal court. It is alleged that they swore falsely at the shugart preliminary trial before Judge H. B. Abernathy of the inferior court in behalf of the defendant about two weeks previous. They were arrested on warrants sworn out before Judge Benners charg- ing perjury by W. A. Greene, a deputy constable of the inferior court, the ar rests being at the instance of Solicitor Harrington P. Heflin.
 Solicitor Not Ready.
 When the cases were called yesterday afternoon Solicitor Hefiin announced not ready. B. M. Allen and John T. Shugart representing the defendant, announced ready for trial and urged upon the court not to make continuance of the cases.
 Judge Benners was informed by Solicitor Hefiin that several important witnesses who resided in Montgomery and had been summoned were not present, hence the motion for a continuance.
 Judge Benners; "If 1t is possible to make showings for the absent witnesses
 %. ta Ia done in order that the trials may pro- ceed
 Attorney Allen: We have Tom Martin. Charlie Dexter and three other witnesses here from Montgomery at the expense of the defendant. and 1t Is costing him about $50 per day. We would like to pro- ceed with the case"
 Mild Suggestion. Solicitor Hefiin sprung a mild sensation by saying:
 T understand that the defense will be that Brewer was not sworn before he was placed on the stand to testify at the shugart preliminary trial. Win the de- fense deny that?'
 Attorney Allen: T have nothing to say
  however, 1t will be up to the state to prove that Brewer took the oath before going on tho stand"
 Judge Benners: Well. 1t appears to me that Judge Abernathy. before whom the case was tried, can tell about that" Judge Abernathy: T am sure that all of the witnesses who were in the court room at the beginning of the trial were sworn, but I could not say whether or not the defendant Brewer was in the court room at the time the oath was ad- ministered."
 After arguments on both sides the cases finally went over until this morning with the understanding that the witnesses who are here from Montgomery are to be ex- amined, and if the other witnesses are not here the case will be continued until they arrive.

OFFICERS CARRY
 MEN BACK TO ROME
TWO YOUNG WHITE FELLOWS TO FACE CHARGE OF ROBBlNG A SAFE THERE-CLAIM THAT THEY ARE INNOCENT.

Officers from Rome, Ga., arrived in Bir- mingham yesterday to take charge of
 A. J. McGinnis Jr. and Hill Estes, the two young white men who are wanted in that place on charge of grand larceny. They were conveyed back to Rome last night, and they will have to answer to a charge of robbing the safe of the street railway in Rome.
 Several nights ago the safe of the street railway company was robbed of s7S, and these two young men were suspected one of them being employed in the place. Two men followed them to Birmingham on the train and secured some marked money which Is said to have come out of the safe. The two young men were arrested as soon as they reached Birmingham and the officials at Rome were notified. Both deny their guilt

 Morris Fisher, the Mobile boy, has been given home by the proprietor of the New York hotel here, who promises that the boy will be well taken care of. The boy has relatives In Mobile, but he states that they will not assist him any and that he will work well If he Is only not made to go back to them.
 Mayor Henderson of Troy had tele- graphed Judge Feagin to get Bill Trugazis Into the industrial school at East Lake but If Judge Feagin failed. to hold the boy until further instructions were re- eeived All arrangements had been made to send him there when he begged off.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-03-11

Judge Feagin has taken care of the four white boys who were picked up here several days ago on charges of lettering. Three of them had run away from their homes in Troy, Ala, and the fourth was trying to get to New York from Mobile, where he has brothers. who he claims, will not take care of him or help him in any way.
 It was rather pathetic yesterday morn- ing to see Bill Trugazis, the little Greek from Troy, begging Judge Feagin and Mrs. R. D. Johnston and other ladies of the Boys Industrial school not to send him rhere. He begged to be allowed to go back to Troy with John Parks and Phocion Spencer, the two boys with whom he had run away.
 Tf1s plea was so pitiful that finally a subscription was taken up for him and he was sent back with the other two boys, who were going to their parents They all promised to work hard and re-

FIRST CASTING Is ID BE MADE TODAY About 3 O'clock the Iron Will Commence Running MONEY IS BADLY NEEDED Many Plans Being Tried to Get Funds for the Expenses of Vulcan.

 gested.
MONEY IS BADLY NEEDED

The first casting of the Vulcan will be made this afternoon about o'clock at the foundry of the Birmingham Steel and Iron company. President Jackson, Secretary Gibson, James a MacKnight and number of the members of the Commercial club will go to the foundry to witness the cast ing, which promises to be very interest ing sight
 Three pieces of the statue will be cast this afternoon and 1t is probable that by tomorrow morning they will be ready to be placed in position. The parts to be cast are about the waist and down to the knees. These three pieces will weigh about 2o,O0o pounds when cast The work of preparation has been going on for two weeks, and it has proven a very large task, much larger than was at first an- ticipated.
 More Money Needed.
 Several plans are being suggested and put in execution for defraying the cost of making the statue. Still about s4OoO Is needed, and 1t looks as If the club will have to resort to several plans to get this amount The one adopted by the em- ployes of the Ailner 6 Kettig company has proven popular and will be tried in other large concerns It is probable that ths plan will net the club about $500 in the next few days.
 On next Wednesday afternoon an art reception is to be held in the rooms of the Commercial club for the benefit of the Vulcan fund. This Is being arranged by Miss Edna Smith. Miss Alice Rumph and Mrs. J. B. Raulston, three of the best known artists in the city. An admission of 50 cents will be charged, and it is thought that large number will in this way contribute a small amount to the fund. All the proceeds will go to the fund, and the reception promises to be a very attractive affair.
 Address By MorettI.
 One feature of the reception will be an address by Sculptor Moretti on how he became a sculptor and the difficulties he had This should prove interesting, as Mir. Moretti ranks among the first artists in this country.
 Tonight James A. MacKnight will give an illustrated lecture at the Southern club on the statue and the St. Louis ex- position. He has made this careful study and Is thoroughly acquainted with his subject.
 AS soon as the New York National Base ball team arrives in Birmingham next Tuesday arrangements will be made for an exhibition game with Birmingham for the benefit of the fund. It is thought that Manager Graw will be willing to give the entire proceeds of the game to the fund.- as the Birmingham management has agreed to give their share. This should net several hundred dollars.

MALES ACHIEVE VICTORY
OVER BLUE AND GOLD

1t was little Turner who made their
only score. He is quick to take advan-
tage of every opportunity and his
chance came when the Males fumbled
on their own ten-yard line. Turner had
the ball like fash and was off around
the Puns left wing for a touchdown.
The game ended with the ball on the
Males five-yard line with Punahous
playing like demons.

boots the sphere to the Punahou 25-.

Punahous tumble. A punt by Judd is
blocked-Mailes' ball on 30-yard line.
The Punahous played a stiff defense
and soon had the ball on downs. Puma
hous were penalized for being off side.
Judd was forced to kick. He made
beautiful punt for fifty yards-the ball
rolled back of Clark who recovered it.
Clark ran in the punt about five yards.
The Males hit Punahous' left side for
good gains. Sam Johnson out with
bad knee. Plunkett goes past tackle
for 10. Play is repeated for 10 more.
Splivalo relieves Johnson at left half.
The Males make steady gains through
center and tackle. The pigskin was
lance of the Punahou line. Venhuizen
was forced over the line for the first
touchdown Is minutes after the kick
off. Freeth kicked an easy goal. Score
60.
Judd kicks to the Male twenty-yard
line; Males tumble and fall on the ball.
Venhuizen is thrown back for loss.
Freeth punts to Macfarlane who runs
in fifteen yards. Splivalo shoots past
tackle for ten yards. In fine shape he
carries the ball through the same spot
for ten more. The Males take a brace
and hold for downs. Plunkett runs
hard for ten yards. The Punahou boys
hold for downs and kick to Males So
yard line. Whistle blows calling the
end of the first half. At the beginning
of the second half Walker and Fuller
enter the game. Fuller kicked off to
the Male five-yard line. Venhuizen
goes through the center for fifteen
yards. Males go past Pun's left tackle
for good gain. Punahous force Green
and Gold to kick Freeth kicks the
oval So yards to Turner who runs the
ball in ten yards. The Punahous be-
gin furious bucking game on the
Males right tackle and go through for
good gains. Fish Alexander at full
back shows up well and pounds the
line hard. Coulter, the Male tackle,
was ruled off the field for piling on
after the whistle blew. The Blue and
Gold played a fast snappy game and
when little Bill Campbell entered the
game the Punahou supporters began
to yell Score, Punahou, Scorel"
Campbell went past tackle in double
quick time. The ball was soon on the
