NEGRO GIRLS CONFESS
 TO ROBBING A SAFE
Mary Lane and Irene Bird Steal Be- tween $40 and $50 from
 ]. D. Little.

The most peculiar case of grand lar- ceny that has come up in olice circles in Birmingham in a long time will be tried In police court today, when Mary Lane and Irene Byrd. two young negro girls, will be placed on trial.
 The negro girls arc accused of stealing between si0 and 70 from the safe of Joseph D. Little. who conducts a grocery store at TOO South Twenty street. They have confessed to the offense and q portion of the property has been re- covered. They were arrested by Detee- tives Bodcker and Hamilton and Police man William Yeltch. At first they re- fused to tell anything about the burglary. but finally consented, and this was tho tale they told:
 We went Into the store to buy some- thing and MT. Little was not there. We slipped behind the counter and stole the cash drawer out of the safe and ran away with 1t,
 We have got some of the money left. but most of it we done spent. buying clothes at Loveman's, at 1Sress', at Ca- heens and at Ferd Marx, and all the big stores.
 We expect to be sent to the big rock for this, but white folks, we am going to tell you the truth. We saw that safe and that cash drawer and just naturally we wanted to take that money, and we done 1t.
 We done told you where all that stuff was, and wants you to let us down just as light as you can"
 This Is the first case on record in the police department where negro girls as ffaag f,pt. faI- frat, a safe. II seems that the door of the safe was cloaed. but that 1t was not locked. and all the girls had to do was to pull It ODen

TRADES COUNCIL
 HOLDS A SESSION
WELL ATTENDED AND ENTHUS- IASTlc MEETING YESTERDAY. THE NE'V OFFICERS INSTALL ED-PREsIDENT MARKS.

Press Agent c. V. Hess. of the Birm- ingham Trades council. furnishes the fol- lowing report of vest .rday's session:
 The Trades council held an exception ally good meeting, which was attended by the leaders of the labor movement throughout this district The new off cers were installed and President Marx presided in a most capable manner.
 Several important matters were dis- cussed Great interest and enthusiasm permeated the speeches and much good was accomplished. The feeling indicated by the discussions was one of great so- lcitude for home products and home la- bor, and the advancement of the inter- ests of Birmingham and vicinity.
 Realizing how utterly impossible it is for a city or community without the CO., operation of all forces, to advance, the council has interested itself in several contingencies now facing Birmingham and is exerting it's influence among the large body of workingmen it represents, to push forward this district in broad and liberal manner, and better the con- ditions of labor to a still greater degree. The interest the different delegates dis played in regard to the action of public servants" and the city's welfare was most gratifying from the point of view of organized labor.
 Reports from different delegates of near ly every labor organization showed the vital interest displayed for the continued progress of organized labor in the county. The next meeting will be held Sunday. February 26.

the condition we are in now. But guess we'll fight 1t out all right"
 Bad Judgment.
 The boys showed only one bit of bad judgment in their work. They did not change their clothing but wore the same hat and coat all the time. This brought about their capture. Had they changed frequently 1t is probable they would have still been at liberty.
 Evidently they were Ion to" their job. After each robbery they would disappear from Birmingham entirely. After the first two or three robberies they went to Bessemer, and after the Simon robbery they went to Montgomery. They went to the Louisville and Nashville freight yards, boarded a freight train and went to Mont gomery, and it was while they were com ing back that they were caught in Besse- mer
 If the two had an accompice they are stoutly defending him. for they stated last night positively that they did not have the third man with them. The de- tectives seemed inclined to believe their story, but all of the people who have been robbed have been positive that there were three men. The third man has not been captured but the suburban police have been asked to keep a sharp lookout for them.
 Were on Trail.
 Several times before they were finally apprehended the police were on the trail of the two highwaymen Last Wednesday Detectives Bodeker and Hamilton were Works, where they were trying to swap one of the watches they had taken from a victim and on one or two other occa- sions the police were hot on their trail. by themselves at the city jail. and their cases will be postponed for several days. No one Is allowed to see the boys except those who desire to identify them.
 It is supposed that the two youths op- erated in Montgomery last week when they went down there after robbing MT. simon. The authorities there have been asked for information in regard to them.

 AMBUL LANCES ARE CALLED ON MANY FAKE ERRANDS

Recently the undertakers of Birming- ham have had reason to con. plain of the many false alarms calling out their am balances, especially at night.

CITY COUNCIL TO
 MEET WEDNESDAY
VARIOUS MATTERS OF GENERAL
 INTEREST WILL COME UP FOR
 CONSIDERATIoN-SoME lNoUIR- IFS AS TO PAVING CONTRACTS.

The semi-monthly meeting of the City Council will be held Wednesday night at 7:9O o'clock. Several matters of lmpor- tance will come before it for consider ation.
 The agreement recently reached be- teen the committee from the Board of Trade and the Southeastern Tariff asso- ciation relative to re-ratlng Birmingham, provided the fire department Is increased will probably come up. If so 1t will be referred to the finance and the fire and water service committee for consider ation.
 A new first-elass steamer a new aerial truck. two new fire stations-one in Rich mond Place and the other near Lake View-lxeyless firm alarm boxes in the business sections and more men for the fire department are the most important provisions in the agreement. There are many inquiries being made at the city hall with reference to starting the work of paving Fifth avenue, High land avenue and several other thorough fares. which contracts were let some time past by the City Council. Certain prop erty owners along the streets and ave- nues to be improved are quite eager for the work to commence and something may be said about the matter at the meeting Wednesday night

 When talking to anyone his eyes shift every few seconds, but when he concern trates them on a person. they have a steady look which seems to pierce. There is a certain amount of cunning about them. and before he learned the serious ness of his crime there was a certain twinkle in them. Now, however, he rarely smiles. and a haunted look has come over him. His day and night in jail have told on him. His face seems to have lost all its color, and is turning ashy.
 Trout is not as ta.i az Langford by six inches or more. He is rather fat and is red faced His skin Is broken out with little ~ed spots He laughed at first, when he was arrested and as- Stiiitd all iuiiititllt, uoD l-tdit dttlluue, but he has changed considerably since he learned that the gallows and the rope were the penalties in this state for nigh way robbery.
 Both of the prisoners are cigarette fiends. The first thing they asked after being arrested was If they could haze tobacco to make cigarettes. Trout has a much weaker face than Langford, and appears to have been led into all the nrf l,.t ofr ofnr a1ta Ia hasn't a bad face by any means. and it shows that he is a boy easily led by Lis associates with little strength of resist ing them.

RAILROAD WORLD.

Jackson Tenn, February 12.-J. N. Scale, a former Jacksonlan and promi- nent official of the Mobile and Ohio rail- road, now superintendent of transporta- ton of the Southern railway. will have to pay fine of s1.0Oo to the county of Haversham, in Georgia, for running freight trains on Sunday.
 MT. Scale was indicted by the grand jury of Haversham county some time ago, charged with running freight trains on Sunday, He was tried in the superior court before Judge Kimsey and found guilty. A fine os $1000 was imposed.
 The case was appealed to the supreme court of Georgia, and in a decision ren- dered Saturday morning the judgment of the lower court is affirmed and the high official of the Southern will have to pay a fine.
 The supreme court held that all it was necessary for the state to prove was that the railroad operated freight train, and 1t was for the railroad to prove whether the train was one which came under the exceptions in the act which states that trains carrying perisabls freight may be handled on Sunday.
 It is the first time that the question has been decided by the supreme court and hereafter when railroads operate trains on Sunday in Georgia they have to have their superintendents indicted and fined
 Superintendent J. N. Scale of the tras- portation department of the Southern road, with headquarters at Washington D. C., and W. A. Lott, one of the clerks in his office, were in the city yesterday. MT Scale at one time was the superin- tendent of transportation of the Mobile and Ohio road.
 Elmore Richards, for the past twenty years connected with the Cotton Belt Railroad company in both Arkansas and Texas, has accepted the position of as- sistant superintendent with the Louisiana Railway and Navigation company with headquarters in Shreveport.
 MT Richards new connection dates from yesterday.
 This new addition to Shreveport's train- men is well known in railroad circles of the south. For ten years he filled the office of trainmaster at Pine Bluff. Ark, and his long incumbency is an evidence of his popularity and capability, recog- nized by the officials of the Cotton Belt system After leaving Arkansas he To- cated at Mt. Pleasant. Tex, where he served as chief dispatcher for the same road until he was persuaded to come to Shreveport and accept a position of still more importance.
