.COL. JOHNS PLAN
 HIGHLY APPROVED sNarm Tributes Paid Henry F.
 DoBardeIeben by Public A MOST WORTHY CITIZEN Mayor Elect Ward Says None Should Protest Against Colonel Johns
 sueeestion-Webb Crawford
 Endorse the Plan.
MOST WORTHY CITIZEN

The proposition made by Col L. w. Jofms, through iThe Age-Herald Sunday morning, to contribute 5000 to the Vul- can Nfund provided the statue be dedi- catedilto Henry F. DeBardeleben, thus eomnaemorating his splendid services in the development of Birmingham, was re- ecived with uncommon interest. Many favorable comments upon the generosity and patriotism of Colonel Johns were mingled with expressions of high appre- ciation of Mr. DeBerdeleben's labors.
 President F. M. Jackson of the Com- emrcial( club will hold a conference with MT Johns Tuesday morning, when the various aspects of the proposition will be discusseds and the several points involved carefully considered. It is probable that after ,this conference a special meeting of thet tCommereial club will be called to take such action as may be deemed ad- visable.
 "Theres is no hyperbole in the asser- tion" saTd a prominent citizen, that the offer of Colonel Johns electrified the community. All classes of citizens Sun day were singing his praises, as well as those of the man to whom he proposes such magnificent tribute"

YOUNG WHITE MEN
 COMMIT ROBBERIES
STARTING OUT AS HIGHWAYMEN. THEY HOLD UP WILSON, A NE. GRo-B. M. BRAZEAL IS ALSO HELD UP. i,4

Two young white men, neither of whom was over p years old, committed three highway robberies last night in Birming- ham, according to the reports received by the police. There is no telling how many more they committed that have not been reported
 Judging from the beginning made by these youthful highwaymen, they will be- come desperate criminals, and two or three more nights at the rate they start ed last night and sections of the city bid fair to be terrorized.
 These criminals started their work early last night, and as if they were try ing their nerve they first tackeled a negro and robbed him of a number of things The negro was Arthur Wilson, who works for the Ivy Leaf Coal com pany. He was going home and when he arrived at Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street, the highwaymen stepped from be- hind dark place and instructed him to hold his hands up, which he proceeded to do all the time explaining to them that he was "a poor nigger and didn't mean no harm to nobody"
 The highwaymen, however, stripped him of all his belongings that they wanted. A black silk handkerchief with white dots, $l watch and a chain of equal value, four cigars and about $3 50 in cash They then allowed him to proceed. This hap pened at o'clock.
 In the next robbery B. Il. Brazeal was the victim. He was held up and robbed at o'clock last night on Seventh avenue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth street, just as he was entering the gale to his yard. The two highwaymen had three pistols this time one of them had two and the other had one. They secured a gold watch and chain, and some money from MT. Brazeal.
 Captain Haygood of the police depart ment reported later that the same two young men had held up and robbed an- other young man near the Henley school on Seventeenth street and Sixth avenue, and that they had secured $50 from him. The name of the man robbed is not known.

Georue B. Ward.

"Regarding l.. W. Johns offer to far- nish 5000 for Vulcan's homecoming and and erection at a suitable point, provid- ed inscription is placed thereon in favor of Henry k. DeBardeleben, 1t is hoped no man can be found to make protest.
 The plan solves completely not only all financial difficulties, the Commercial club has been wrestling with the Iron Mans account. but it places him promptly in position to reap fruition of the orig- nal idea as perpetual monument to the mineral resources of Alabama and at the same time pay tribute to the great exploiter of its resources. This district will be proud to pay adequate tribute to MT. DeBardeleben soon or later.
 Some think that Vulcan has already fulfilled his destiny and should be re- turned to the elements from which he eame-for a consideration. Whether he has or not, if he can be made to stand guard forever on the top of red noun tain and accomplish several other pur- poses at the same time without addi- tional cost to the progressive men who brought him into the world,-no man should block the way"

READY FOR THE FRAY.
Full Vote Will Probably Be PolIed at
 Pratt City.

Pratt City, February 5-(Special)- Everything is in readiness for the citi- zen's primary to be held in Pratt City tomorrow for the purpose of nominating mayor, twelve aldermen and seven members of the executive committee. The weather man has predicted that the day would be fair and colder and the indi- cations are that full vote will be boiled.
 The campaign has been short and acute, both sides having contesting every inch of the ground
 The voting place will be at the city hall and the polls will be opened at s o'clock in the morning and closed at 5 in the evening. As the ballot bears the names of thirty-nine candidates to be voted for the probabilities are that the voting will be extremely slow.
 Political observers are of the opinion that the results of the primary will be close and that neither side will receive a wallk-away majority

q SUITS AGAINST
 THE UNION MINERS Mon-Union Miners Want
 S147,0OO Damages LOST MEANS OF LIVING Petitioners AIlege That the Union Was Responsible for Their Los ing Their Positions with the
 Alabama Consolidated.
LOST MEANS OF LIVING

Suits to the amount of s147,000 have been filed against the United Mine Work CTS of dictrict No. 20, against local No. S56, and against IS of the officials of the organization by non-union miners in the county court at Tuscaloosa.
 There are 1 of these suits for S7000 each, and eight more will probably be filed within few days by other non- union miners for the same amount each. The attorneys for the plaintiffs are ". J. Martin and Richard II. Fries, who have offices in the First National bank building The additional suits will make total of $2Os,OOo.
 The following account of the filing of the suits were received from Tuscaloosa last night:
 Tuscaloosa, February, 5s-(Speeal-)- Twenty-one suits amounting to si47, 900 were filed in l..e county court here late yesterday afternoon. Each of the suits was S7O00. They were filed by the non- union miners at Brookwood, 16 miles north of Tuscaloosa, against the United Mine Workers of America in district No 20; also the local organization, No. S56 and w. R. Fairly, Ed. Flynn, J. l.. Clemo, Dan Painter Lindsay Parrott. Done Da- wis, Ott Davis, Green Walker, Luther Walker, John Brown, John Quarles, Shell ton Quarles and John Wallace.
 The Allegations.
 The plaintiffs claim that during the month of October last, the local organi- zation held several mass meetings, the result of which was a demand upon the Alabama Consolidated Coal & Iron com pany to dismiss from their mines all non union workers and that if they should fail to grant their request strike would greatly retard their output They were compelled to act as the union miners demanded The plaintiffs allege that for this reason on November 10th they were turned out of their homes, and many of them deprived of the bare necessities of fife.
 List of Plaintiffs.
 The following were the plaintiffs who filed suit W. T. Boyd Foster Jolly, Baillff Moses, Harver Roberts, R. M. Yeager, W. T. Norwood, Will Holley, Charles Savage, George Hanna, R. B. Ellis, George Cookery Ed. Savage, Hem ry Boyd, Doph McFerren. Jim Jones, Monroe Norwood, B. Boyce, C. B. Green, Will Engelbert and J. B. Bracknell. The papes were brought to the city yester- day afternoon by ". J. Martin, attor- ney for the non-union workers. MT. Fries said last night:
 The suits were filed not as a fight against unions, but in order to give every man right to make an honest living as provided for by the constitution. The objection Is not to the unions, but to the methods which they sometimes pursue to prevent these non-union miners from making a living, and in fact deprivine them of the necessities of life"

Curious Piece of Wood Found.

Anniston, February 5.-(Special. .)-While digging a we'll Mir. Ebert Knighton of South Anniston came in contact with a curious object. He found it sixty-five feet below the surface. It is a piece of wood about 2x6 and feet long. bears a re- semblance to pine, and looks as though 1t had been split from a larger piece. It is black in color has the appearance of coal. and breaks into pieces as coal does. The fact that the wood was found so far below the surface makes it evident that in years long past the South Anniston valley was of much lower altitude than it is at the present time.

 That letter of Col Johns in this Sundays AgeHerald, said MT. Craw- ford touched a warm spot in my heart It brought a gulp about the size of my right fist into my throat. My heart has been going pit-a-pat ever since I read it. If l was more religious than l have the reputation of being I'd like to get up and yell Amen to every word Col Johns has written.

 I'm not against any man who wants to build a monument over a dead person. Its beautiful custom-this tombst one and monument business is.
 When l was a small boy we used to live near a cemetery, and my parents used to tell me that if l would be a good boy on week days they'd let me go out and play in the graveyard on Sun day.
 That's one reason why l like grave wards, and gravestones and monuments and mausoleums. It's sort of in my blood to like 'em,

A Case in Point.

Years ago when I was something of a spring chicken I went to New York While there I rode through the city of Brooklyn. l shan't ever forget a statue saw in one of the parks there-Prospect Park think it was. It was monument of a Dr, Cuyler, a noted Brooklyn preacher. The guide pointed it out to us and told us that 1t was the only monu- ment e ger built in America in honor of a man still livirg.
 "The idea hit me amidships and knock ed me into a heap. It was original, sane, beautiful.
 ''Mr. Johns has conceived a similar, had almost said an identical idea. Henry F. DeBardeleben has done more for Birm- ingham than any other man above or be- meath the sod MT. Johns says of him that he came to Birmingham with his money in one hand and his heart in the other What he has achieved here is a part of to history of the city. What he has been to this community can not at this time be accurately estimated He has made every man, woman and child here his debtor, and I, for one, would like to see the whole community recognize the obli- gation promptly and adequately
