REQUEST POLICE
 TO LOOK FOR BOY
CLAUDE TOOK DISAPPEARS FROM OFFICE OF MAN WHO ADOPTED HIM AND HE CAN NOT BE FOUND.

Claude Took, 10 years old adopted about three years ago from the Mercy Home by MT. and Mrs. G. T. Young, of 522 North Twenty-third street. disappeared yesterday afternoon from MT. Youngs office. PA Chalifoux building. where he had been left by Mrs. Young until she returned from a trip to Pratt City. At o'clock when Mrs. Young got back to her husbands office, the young man in charge said that Claude had been out for some little time, as he thought, on some errand of his own.
 After an hour or two had elapsed with no sign of the boy, Mrs. Young made a report to police headquarters. She could not account she said, for his disappear ance save that he had been Kidnapped and this she seemed to have reason to strongly suspect. The boy was satisfied with his home. He had been promised a place, she said, in MT. Young's office as soon as school was out. which would pay him salary, and Claude was highly elated at the prospect.
 At a late hour last night the police were still unable to locate him. He has light hair and blue eyes and wore a blue cap ana suit and low quarter shoes.

SUMMARY OF THE
 DAY IN CONGRESS
THE SENATE.

Washington, June 13.-The Senate adopt ed without division the conference report on the statehood bill at 6:20 o'clock this evening. The report was debated by Sem ators Foraker, Bailey, Patterson, Money, Dubois, Morgan Stone, McCumber and others. Several democratic senators inti- mated that the consolidation of Oklahoma and Indian Territory would insure to the advantage of the republican party, and MT. Money declared that such was the intent, and charged further that the legislation is influenced by sectionalism. He declared that one western man Is equal in all the qualities of manhood to five eastern men.
 Senator Dubois announced his intention to vote against the acceptance of the re- port because of the omission of the anti polygamy provision inserted by the Sem ate, and in doing so he took occasion to review his own political experience in dealing with the Mormons, saying that he knew that his stand on the question would result in his enforced retirement by Sen ator Willard in opposition to the sea-level Panama canal bill, and also to further de- bate on the Lake Erie and Ohio river canal bill which was not acted upon
 The Senate adjourned at 625 p. m.

WONDERFUL lEVEL0 0PMENT
 AT NORTH BIRMINGHAM
MANY HOUSES ERECTED PAST YEAR-MUCH CAPITAL INVEST ED-11 INDUSTRIES LOCATED OUT OF 18- FOR DISTRICT.

A prominent business man, discussing the rapid growth of Birmingham and vicinity, said to an Herald repre- sentative yesterday:
 '''The report of the secretary of the Com mercial club at its meeting on Tuesday and published in the Age-Herald of this morning. as to the number of new houses built in Birmingham and it's suburbs from May 1, 1905, to May 1, 1906 made public in detail the fact of a marvellous devel- opment in that line within the twelve months indicated. The total number be- ing 1867 at an aggregate cost of $3S21, ,31S of which $2, 459, 7S9 was for buildings in the city of Birmingham proper-the balance buildings at thirty-two points nearby, in- built in Birmingham and Its suburbs from cludlng Bessemer, Brighton Ensley Pratt City, Wylam. East Thomas, North Bir mngham, Avondale, Woodlawn, East Lake and quite number of minor towns In addition, the report shows that outside of the communities named, 150 houses were built at a cost of $1l0,000. and also 250 for the employees of the iron and min ing companies at a, cost of $1S7.500, mak- ing total of A,11s,S1S expended in the vicinity of Birmingham in building houses.
 .,rhe most striking feature of the re- port relates to North Birmingham and shows the marvellous development of that enterprising and rapidly growing young city. While Bessemer Pratt City, Ensey and Avondale, altogether show only 2SO new buildings. North Birmingham alone is credited with 301-T more than shown by those four towns.
 'The amount expended on buildings in North Birmingham was s24S,000 Exclusive of about half a million dollars spent in building and enlarging manufacturing plants) or $S2,000 more than in Ensley ~ axx D-at more than in Bessemer, s190900 more than in Avondale and within s61 ,224 of the total amount spent In all of the four for the same purpose-surely a wonderful growth and only mildly prophetic of the future.
 ''Of the eighteen new manufacturing plants, not including coal or ore mines built in the vicinity of Birmingham within the period named, eleven of them were located at North Birmingham.
 .At the same ratio of growth until 1910 North Birmingham will be surpassed in Jefferson county only by Birmingham in point of population and business impor- tance." ="

w. A. Garrett general manager of the Queen and Crescent Route was unable to come to Birmingham yesterday as he had expected. but instead turned back from Chattanooga and went to New York to attend meeting of the board of the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pa cifc railroad.
 J. c. Morris, commissioner of railroads and telegraphs in Ohio, who was the guest of MT. Garrett on this trip, however came to Birmingham, and was entertained yes terday by l., Sevier. general freight agent, and R. D. Boswell, superintendent. MT Morris was shown the various industrial plants in the district yesterday morn- ing, was given a dinner at the Country club and yesterday afternoon drove over the residence section of the city.
 Before leaving the city last night MT. Morris said that he had been wonderfully impressed with Birmingham, and that all of the great things he had heard of the city were certainly true. He predicted that Birmingham would before many years be the largest and most influential city in the south. This was his first visit to Birmingham.
 
 R. E. Boswell, superintendent of the Alabama Great Southern has received a motor car to use in going up and down the road. The car, which s of the stand ard make for railroad purposes, seats four people, and is capable of making thirty-hve or forty miles an hour under favorable conditions.
 Just at present Mir Boswell expects to make a number of trips of inspection over the road during which he needs to pro- ceed slowly and make close examinations, which he could not do on a train or even on an engine.
 Fred J. Robinson assistant general pas senger agent of the Central of Georgia railway, spent yesterday in Birmingha m and left last night for Memphis and Nash vile. He said yesterday that new arrange ments had been made about the sailing of the ships on the Savannah line and the Merchants and Miners Transportation company out of Savannah, and that the boats all leave on schedule time.
