E. n. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, April .--Wheat--Weak
ness today in wheat was due partly to
the break in corn and partly to selling
by local traders on prospects of rain in
Kansas and al bearish Bradstreet's re-
port. and favorable weather in the
northwest. There was some frmness
displayed early, but local traders We're
rersister1t sellers and when the break
in corn came there was no support to
wheat and prices declined without
much response. There was little
support ON extreme declines and a
small reaction occurred shortly before
the close.
Corn-The market was firm until
Valentine commenced to sell May and
then the market broke badly May sold
under so and Valentine gave the crowd
all they wanted. There was a little
reaction before the close. but the mar
ket closed at a good net decline. Early
buying by commission holses caused
an advance in July, but local house
sold half million. and it looks as if
Armour had sold out his corn.
Oats-Early strength in oats did not
hold The market was affected by the
weakness in wheat and corn and lost
its strength. There Yves early buy
ing by locals and commission houses
on the strength of the cash market and
fair advance in all deliveries. But
early buyers sold out later and theirs
was scattered commission house liz
uidation which caused another decline
to a little under yesterdays prices
where the market closed.

BOARD WILL MAKE TIE IMPROVEMENTS Court House Matter Comes
 Up Today ARE THREE PROPOSITIONS Architects of Birmingham VIII Submit Plans to Board of Revenue at To-
 days session-Many Ideas
 Have Been Suggested.
ARE THREE PROPOSITIONS

The hoard of revenue at it's meeting to- day will again take up the matter of pro- vidlng more room for the various courts of Jefferson county. In accordance with the authority vested in the board at recent special election to issue and sell bonds to the amount of sl0O'0OO for the purpose of securing funds with which to provide for additions and improvements to the present county courts building, plans and specifications for the improvements were asked for about ten days ago. It is expected that number of architects will present their ideas to the board at this meeting.
 Three propositions looking towards the required improvements are suggested, to- wit:
 l. To add fourth story to the present building.
 ?. To enlarge venti1ate and otherwise improve the basement to the building, dividing it into court rooms, record rooms and offices.
 3. To erect a new building on the pres ent site of the old county jail, on the corner of Twenty-first street and Fourth avenue.
 Members of the board of revenue say that they do not have any idea as to what plans will be adopted when the matter comes up for consideration. We are going to receive the plans and speci- ficatons tomorrow" said Capt. A. J. Tar rant, the president of the board yester- day afternoon, ''and of course, until these are opened and gone over we can say nothing. It is unnecessary for me to say that the most feasible plans for the im- provements are to be adopted by the board of revenue. My understanding is that a number of architicts in Birming- ham will submit plans to us.
 After something definite is agreed up- on, we will be ready to advertise for bids for the work. but will not until that time. So far as the matter of placing the s1O00 600 of bonds is concerned, we have taken no steps, and will not for some weeks to come at least, I suppose"
 In their report to the judges of the criminal court of Jefferson county, several grand juries have recommended that ele- vators be installed in the court house, and it is generally believed that the board of revenue, in providing for additions and improvements to the building, will not overlook this matter.

 SHAPE FOR MONDAY
BOBBY WALTHoUR, THE CHAM PIoN BICYCLE RIDER, WILL RACE AT THE OPENING OF THE STADIUM.

Jack Prince will open his stadium at exciting bicycle races.
 Last night Prince had a conversation with Bobby Walthour over the telephone and the champion bicycle rider conveyed the news that he had just finished ten mile pace, and was in good condition again. This was the first training that Walthour had had since he was severely injured in an accident at Atlanta while riding, about ten days ago. Walthour told MT. Prince that he would be in good shape when he appears at the opening of the stadium in Birmingham next Monday night.
 C. S. Mosley. business agent for the Bir- mngham district council of the Carpen- ters and Joiners of America yesterday ad- dressed the following letter to Ed K. Smith, press agent of the Birmingham trades council concerning the class of labor employed by MT. Prince in the con strpction of the stadium
 Dear Sir and Brother: You will please correct the error made by L.r. Harry Markey a delegate to your honora ble body, in which it was stated that the new bicycle track at Greene station on the South Ensley and Bessemer car lines had been built by non-union labor. This was grievous mistake.
 MT. Jack Prince advertised for union men to build the new track and I saw that he was supplied. and to my certain knowledge nothing but union men were employed in the construction of the track.

The George Parsons company seems to be making quite a hit with Casino patrons. The comedy they are presenting for the first half of the week has been seen here before but "A Turkish Texan" is still interesting enough to amuse and entertain crowded houses. MT. Parsons is a very capable comedian who is already favorite here. He is sup ported by a good company and the play Is given with plenty of sparkle and dash Miss Mendum is also proving quite fa- vorite. There will be the usual Wednes- day matinee this afternoon and perfor- nance tonight.

MURDER CHARGE
 AGAINST WHITE MEN
DEFENDANTS MUST REMAIN IN COUNTY JAIL UNTIL CRIMINAL COURT REcoNvENEs EARLY IN SEPTEMBER.

A. J. Mothershed Win Tidwell, Glenn Tetherow, Dave Laws and several more white men, charged with murder in the first degree, will probably be inmates oe the county jail for sometime yet to come. The criminal court has adjourned for the summer, and will not convene until the middle of September. It is not known when the first capital docket will be set for trial when court reconvenes. Several of the defendants have applied for bail on habeas corpus proceedings but have been denied by the courts.
 Glenn Havis, too, is another white man who occupies a cell in the county jail. The supreme court recently rendered a decision affirming the decision of the lower court in finding the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree, and sentencing him to twelve and half years in the penitentiary His attorneys, however have decided to ask for re- hearing of the case, and pending this. Havis will remain in the county jail
 It is expected that the case against Hol- lis B. Parrish. will be tried some time during the coming fall. The defendant is charged with killing George s. Leonard. He is out on bail, the supreme court hay ing reversed the decision of the lower court in sentencing him to ten years in the pententiary
 The fall term of the grand jury will be organized on the first Monday in Sep tember.
 Judge Samuel E Greene. senior judge of the criminal court of Jefferson county. will probably not tender his resignation to the governor until sometime in De- tober. Judge Greene is the democratic nominee for the office of probate judge.

RED MEN HAD 4
 B|G CELEBRATION l
Picturesque CavaIcade Through
 Streets of Birmingham
JUBILEE AT EAST LAKE
Immense concourse Assembled at the Lake and There Was Great En- Joyment Throughout the
 Day-Sham Battle.

The forests about East Lake vera thronged with Red Men yesterday. and during the day there was great sham battle between the several tribes that inhabit Birmingham and vicinity on the one side and Troop D, A. N. G., on the other.
 The day marked the largest and most successful celebration that the Red Men have ever had in this section of the state. It had been we'll advertised and there were many visiting members to take part in the various events. A feature of the day was the big mounted parade through the streets of Birmingham. the painted faces and Indian costumes of the pa raders attracting crowds on the curb stones
 The cavalcade through the principal streets and the palefaces made splendid commercials of the real braves. The pro- cession was led by Chief of Police Wier and a platoon of sixteen mounted police, who wore scarlet sashes. They were fol- lowed by a long line Of the warriors. John W. Pierson, the grand sachem of Alabama. was at the head of the braves. and Great Mishinewa Allison followed. Just to the rear of the advance guard of the Red Men, Capt. E. J. McCrossin was in command of Troop D of cavalry. Memolfs band was in llne When the parade was concluded, the Red Men were carried In special cars to East Lake.
 The jubilee al the lake was a success in every particular and it is doubtful if there has ever been a larger crowd or people gathered there for any celebration than thronged the grounds yesterday. Numerous amusements were provided. but the real feature of the day was the battle In the afternoon-a reproduction of the Custer massacre. Another feature of note was the display of fireworks at night one of the best representing the burning of 8 mountain hut on the far side of the lake.
