New Orleans, La, Aug. 2S.-The rec

measure to the change in the wealth

OF the deaths eight are Italians. TWO

in the emergency hospital. All but
two of the deaths were downtown.
The principal news from outside the

NEGRO NOT TAKEN
 TO MORGAN COUNTY
JOHNSTON, CHARGED WITH DE- CATUR MURDER, STILL IN JAIL HERE-MAY BE ONLY CON- cEALED WEAPON CASE.

The charge of carrying concealed pis- tol will probably be the only serious one to materalize against Ed Johnston, the negro who is under arrest in the Jeffer- son county jail. It will be recalled that Johnston was arrested and brought to Birmingham last Saturday for safekeep- ing, the charge against him being the murder of Miss Bessie Bloodworth, the daughter of a prominent merchant at New Decatur.
 Johnston was arrested at Warrior, and he was brought to Birmingham by Dep uty Sheriff Sykes of Morgan county, in which New Decatur is located. Deputy Sykes did not stay in Birmingham long, but before going asked the Jefferson county authorities to hold the negro until further orders. These further orders have not yet been received.
 Seeing perhaps a strong possibility of the negro being set at liberty for want of prosecution the marshal at Warrior yesterday afternoon telephoned Sheriff Burgin to hold Johnston for further or ders as he would swear out warrant against him charging carrying concealed weapons.
 The negro will probably be carried back to Warrior today.

 ASSN IS STARTED
FAULTY AND ALUMNI OF HOW ARD MEET AND ATHLETIC OR. eANIzArIoN IS FoRMED-DR. W. p. M'ADoRY IS PRESIDENT.

Of this amount $l00 were raised yesterday.
 The following were elected as officers of the Athletic association. Dr. W. P. McAdory president; the Rev. J. F. Ga ble, vice president; and E. R. Norman, secretary-treasurer
 The committee on organization recom- mended the following resolutions be adopted which were voted on and passed by sectiors
 Whereas, we desire to promote the growth of wholesome athletic in Howard college,
 Resolved, First That we form an or ganization to be known as the Aux Hilary Athletic association of Howard college.
 Second-That the purpose of this or ganization be to cooperate with the fac ulty and students in developing among the boys the spirit of sound athletics and to render such aid as may be practicable.
 Third.-That we endeavor to make the membership as large as possible, the aim being to have at least POO members.
 Fourth.-That any former student and any friend of Howard college shall be eligible to membership
 Fifth.-That the annual dues be s2.
 Sixth.-That the officers shall be pres ident, vice president. and a secretary treasurer, all to be elected annually.
 Seventh.-That the headquarters of this organization shall De at t.-e college.
 Eighth.-That the association endeavor tc begin as soon as practicable the grad ing of the field in the req. of the col lege as athletic grounds. and that it seek the cooperation of the Campus club.
 Ninth.-That an executive committee be appointed, to consist of the three of ficers of the association and four other members, to be chosen by the president Of the association.
 Tenth.-That the management of the as- sociatlon be under the cotro of the ex- ecutive committee and that the duties of the officers be such as are usual in similar organizations.
 Dr. A. P. Montcgu president of the college addressed tn meeting, stating that he was heartily in favor of the movement to promote wholesome athletics at Howard He pointed out that the primary step to take now was the grad ing of the athletic field.
 It was then proposed to have the nec- essary survey made of the grounds and to start the work as early as practicable.
 Professor Harry Miles said that he would arrange a game of basketball be- tween the Howard team and the Ath- letc club team at an early date and that the proceeds would go to the athletic fund.
 Professor Miles was requested to ar range for a field day at some date in April or May. It was also proposed to ask the ladies of East Lake to serve a lunch on that day and to have a meet ing of the association at the conclusion of the field day programme.

End of the Local Basket Ball
 Series Tonight
TWO INTERESTING GAMES
Southern Championship Series Begins Next Week-Game With Scotts- boro Here-Trip to Atlanta
 On the Tenth,

This is the standing of the four basket ball teams of the Athletic club prepara- tory to the final games of the local series which will be played tonight. The Yelows and Reds and the Blues and Blacks will be the eontesting teams, and judging from past records the chances seem to favor the Fellows and the Blues in the two contests. If they do the season will end with Fellows first, Blues second, Reds third and Blacks last.
 This is by no means certain, however Reds have been playing hard, plucky game, and say they can take a fall from the leaders as the Blues did two weeks ago. If they do-and Blues win-the Yel- lows, Reds and Blues will tie for first place. The Blacks, though, say they are tired of this losing habit. and are promis- ing to make up for all lost opportunities in tonights game. They have at times played brilliant ball. and in two games have lost by very narrow margins In any event the playing tonight bids fair to be the best of very brilliant local season, not even excepting the nerve-racking
 
 Big Canes Next Week.
 The interstate series for the southern championship begins next week The Bap- list college team of Scottsboro will play Howard college next Monday night and the Athletic club Tuesday night. Next Friday the Athletic club goes to Atlanta to play the Piedmont Athletic club, and the game will be an interesting one from the fact that these two cities have never played each other before, so there is no way of figuring Birmingham chances
 Intense interest prevails at the Athletic club as to what players will make the big team. Ware, Chairsell, Hood Gibson and Woodruff have all been playing star forwards, and its very difficult to pick two from the bunch. Berry seems to be the favorite for center, though there is some talk of taking Johnson from his guard position and trying him at ceter. Johnson, Riddle, Hunt, Ansley and one or two others are playing cool, steady guards, and almost any two of them would make good guards for the big team.
 The basketball committee consisting of Ferguson, Warren, Sid Jones and the Miles brothers, will make the selections after tonight's game, and the team will probably be announced tomorrow.

Helen KelIer's Philosophy.

From the Chicago News.
 Helen Keller, who. though blind and deaf, is college graduate and cul- tured young woman, writes in her book, My Key to Life" as follows: we have seen that the worlds philosophers-the savers of the word-are optimsts; so also are the men of action and achieve ment-the doers of the word. pr. Howe found his way to Laura Bridgman's soul because he began with the belief that he could reach it. English jurists had said that the deaf-blind were idiots in the eyes of the law. Behold what the op- timist does. He controverts hard legal axiom: he looks behind the dull im- massive clay and sees a human soul in bondage, and quietly. resolutely sets about It's delverance. His efforts are ylc- torious.
 He creates intelligence out of idiocy.

and proves to the law that the deaf-blind man is a responsible being. When Hauy offered to teach the blind to read he was met by pessimism that laughed at his folly. Had he not belived that the soul of man is mightier than the ignorance that letters it, had he not been an optm- ist, he would not have turned the fingers of the blind into new instruments.
 "No pessmist ever discovered the se- crets of the stars or sailed to an un- charted land. or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. St. Bernard was so deeply an optimist that he believed 25O enlightened men could illuminate the darkness which overwhelmed the period of the crusades: and the light of his faith broke like new day upon western Europe"

'We are going to begin practice early and will give a number of youngsters a try out before our first practice game. We will have a half dozen youngsters who want chance and we should get two or three good men out of them.
 q believe that every one of the old men will play better ball this season than they did last season. We are go- ing to start right if such a thing lies in the bounds of possibility, and we hope to end better than we start I have heard from all the boys and they are all anxious to play with Birmingham and state that they are in condition.
