amount from $216,000,O0O to $478,0O0,

It adds to the burden Of money which

BOARD Of WORKS
APPOINTS AN
INSPECTOR
To Represent 1t In the Build
ing of the New City

The Board of Public Works yester-
day decided to take some action
towards being represented in the con-
struction of the new city hall. that IS
towards having an inspector present
at all times to inspect the material
and work as 1t progresses. Accord
ingly the board appointed Chas. II.
Hill as inspector, and letter was
furnished HIM by the board to Archi-
tect Ausfeld, stating that he was
representative of the board, and would
remain on the site during the erection
of the hall.
The new inspector could not find
Mr.. Ausfeld, who had departed for
Montgomery, but later found Arch1'
tect Fulghum, who represents Mr.
Ausfeld.
Before he located Mr.. Fulghum,
however, the inspector, presented his
credentials to the foreman Of the con-
struction work, who Mr.. Hill states
refused to recognize INN, except as
a private citizen. When this was re
ported to the mayor the latter sent a
letter to the contractor, explaining
that Mr.. Hill was representative OF
the Board of Works, and requested
that he be recognized as such. Mr.
Turner was not in the city, however
and his representative at the Office
declined to make a written reply.
The inspector, however, spent thu
day on the ground inspecting the
work and material.

Battle On the Gridiron.
Visitors Expected

the first time this season on a local
gridiron tomorrow afternoon, and
the event is being looked forward to
with much interest by the lovers OF

heavier than the locals. the players
of the former averaging about 145
pounds, while the locals will average
about 125 pounds. The Mobile team
has been furnished with the names
of the players and their respective
weights, but no such information has
0een received uSTe Regarding Tic
players of the NJ IL s---.
The High School eleven this season
is somewhat heavier than last season
but the team has been crippled con
siderably by the loss of Bell, who was
one OF the best kickers and all-round
players on the, team. While the 10
Gals will be against much heavier
players they expect to make up fol
weight in the quiekness of execution
in play and general fast work to off
set the advantage of their opponents

rive in the city tonight at 6:3(
o'clock and will remain. in the city

CONFLICTING
STATEMENTS
CONTINUE TO BE MADE BY
WOMAN SUFFERING FROM b.
INHALING GAS.

The woman who was found in an
unconscious condition at Mrs. Wilker-
sons boarding house Tuesday morn
posed to be her husband was found
dead, due to the inhalation of gas,
continues to suffer from this eXper-
fence, and does not appear to be ra-
tional in the statements she makes.
During the past two or three days
she has given no less than three
names, and made other very conflict
ing statements regarding both her
self and the man, who is supposed to
be w. E. Rogers, and also continues
to give different towns as the place
from whence they came. She con-
tinues to state that she blew out the
gas.
Judge Nicholson decided yesterday
not to question the woman further
until she became perfectly rational
and then obtain from her statement
as to how the gas was blown out OF
turned on after it was eXtinguished,
and also as to the identity of the
man whom she accompanied to this
city. The judge decided that it. was
useless to endeavor to OBTAIN any in
formation from her while she was in
half-daZed state.
The woman, it is stated, will re
cover from the illness caused by the
inhalation of the gas, but she is yet
quite sick.
The body of the man is still held
in Pou's undertaking parlors, and as
it has been embalmed, will remain
there until the mystery surrounding
his identity and his home has beer
cleared up. and then if no relatives
claim the remains, the body will bt
buried.
