MT. Anderson identified pair of gold cuff buttons as having been stolen from his home The negro was wearing the buttons when arrested by the police Sunday night.
 Crawford testified that he bought the buttons for 25 cents. In Atlanta, he said. he also purchased, for $3.50. one of the gold watches recovered by the police and which has been identified by J. L. Casey. Ills story appeared flimsy. and there was sigh of relief when Recorder Baber announced that he would again bind over the prisoner and fix the bond at $50Os
 The case. charging the negro with burglarizing the residences of J. L. Casey. l7 Mildred Street, and l. F. Dos ter. i102 South Hull Street, were con- tinued until today
 Dan Smith, the drunken negro, whose arrest led to the capture of Crawford. and Willie Hardy. the negress arrested with Crawford, are still being held at the police station.
 Crawford will not be committed to the county jail until all of the cases the police have against him have been disposed of.

corder's Court yesterday afternoon un- der strict guard Special officers stood on every side of him to prevent any possible escape. Unlike his naughty demeanor when first arrested, the negro was meek and submissive. When his first case was called and he came before the court, he was closely eyed by everyone in the room The crowd showed a curiosity to see gem uine burglar. and their curiosity was satisfied, for Crawford certainly looked the part of a desperate criminal.
 The first case called for trial was that charging the negro with burglar izing the residence of Warren c. Brown, 19 High Street Mir Brown took the stand and testified as to the identity of a guitar which had been stolen from his residence among other things
 Crawford pleaded not guilty. He ad- mitted that he had the guitar, but said that he secured it from a negro boy, name unknown. He was closely ques- toned by Chief Taylor, who asked him if he didn't confess to the police that he secured the musical instrument from negro, Joe Brown. and that when Brown was arrested and brought before him, he said Brown was not the negro, but that he got the guitar from a negro boy. Crawford denied all this, but the point the Chief brought out was sub stantiated by Special Officer F. W. Jackson.
 Crawford was profhptly bound over in this case under $500 bond
 The second case of burglary and grand larceny was then brought to trial. In this, Crawford was charged with burglarizing the residence of W. D. Anderson on South Union Street.

SPLENDID PUBLIC SERVICE
 OF HON. DANIEL J. MEAD0R
Candidate for Lieutenant Governor Has Had Large Experience in States LaW-making Bodies.
 Public and Private Record.

called to the chair of the Presiding Of- ficer. This honor was given him by a una 1imous yote--by the unanimous vote of Senators with whom he had previously served.
 The purity of his private life, the integrity of his character, the high plane upon which he lived his private and his public life appealed to the re- spect of his fellow Senators no less tban did his store of public informa- Ion and his ripe experience In all leg- islation. On the floor whether, in the House or in the Senate his fellow leg isiators lent an attentive ear to what he said and to his opinion they paid respect that could not be otherwise than complimentary. His reputation as a legislator, his reputation as a public man who held fast to high ideals of private and public virtue was not confined to the State.
 genuine and unaffected modesty has been an obstacle to his reaching the full reward to which his long and splendid services to the State entitle him. The places he has filled have been places of labor and of services and places without reward. He seeks no place of profit now. His candidacy now Is the tender of the aid of one of the most experienced legislative minds within the State. It Is based no less upon the promise of future aid and service than it is upon the ac- con1plishments of useful past within the legislative halls of the State.
 The career of Senator Meador is a demonstration of the fact that in poll itics and in public life man may be successful, he may render service, he may do things, he may retain contin- ualfy the confidence and esteem of his fellow servants of the public and lead always a life of morality and Chris tian high mindedness.
 Mir. Meador is q farmer. His place in Marengo County is one of the most fertile and one of the best titled in the State. And he enjoys the respect and esteem of his neighbors no less than he enjoyed the spontaneous com fldence of his fellow lawmakers with in Alabama's Capitol.

President Flynn Declines to Make stutement other Than the Long
 Drawn Out Struggle Is at m End.

Birmingham. August 21.--(special.)
 --The coal strike which has existed in the Birminghan district since July 25, 1904, is 8 thing of the past.
 It was authoritatively announced by Edward w. Flynn, president of the Alabama Miners Union No. 20 of the United Mine Workers of America today that a majority of the miners had vo- ted to call the strike off. President Flynn did not say when the new order would go into effect nor would he say whether or not the vote to return to work was unanimous. All that could be gotten out of him when the district executive committee adjourned was that the strike was thing of the past.
 The executive committee held three sessions during the day, the first being for the purpose of considering the report of the auditor on the ball. lots of the miners. The count showed that a majority, at least. favored re- turning to work. A committee was then named to draw up a circular to be sent to all the miners. All during the afternoon the subcommittee was at work and when adjournment was taken President Flynn said that noth- ing further would be given out today.
 The calling off of the strike Is the direct result of the miners conven- tion recently held in Birmingham.
 At that time 1t was generally un- derstood that the purpose of the con- vention was to submit proposal to the various miners in the districts where the strike has been on for sew era years by which 1t would be left to a popular vote as to whether or not they should return to work. Letters were sent out with instructions to re- nort fo the auditor not later than Monday, August 20. The ballots were counted Monday and the auditors re- port submitted to the executive board today.
 The report of the subcommittee which was submitted to the Board late this afternoon was nothing more nor less than instructions to various mining districts under the supervision of the United Mine Workers.

BAD BURGLAR
 HELD IN JAIL Crowd in Court to Wit

 Grand Jury. Tsssimony show. that the Negro Had Property Taken from Several Montgomery Residences Dur-
 ing che Night.
 

In the presence of throng of spec tators, George Crawford alias Will Whitaker alias Rock Adam. the Hegro burglar. charged with entering and bur glarizing four Montgomery residences, and believed to have entered dozen more, was tried by Recorder Baber yes- terday afternoon. He was bound over to the grand jury In two cases and the two remaining eases were continued until this afternoon on account of the absence of important witnesses.
 In each of the eases in which the ne- gro was convicted, his bond was fixed at $500. This, in itself. will be enough to hold Crawford in jail.
 In addition to the charges of bur gIarizing three residences brought against the desperate character Mon day another Narrant was sworn out yesterday charging the negro with bur- glarizizng the residence of l. F. Doster. It Is alleged he got pistol valued at SS and pair of shoes, valued at $3 Among the goods recovered by the po- lice, the pistol was found and identified by MT. Doster.

Hon. Daniel 2. Meador, South Ala bana's candidate for Lieutenant Gov ernor. Is recognized as one of the greatest authorities in Alabama on tax laws and tax legislation of the state. He was for ten years a member of the House and for four years a member of the Senate. As long as he was in the House he was continually upon the Committee on Ways and Means and in the Senate he was always upon the Committee on Finance. He was called upon to serve as chairman of both committees.
 The present Revenue Code of Ala baua Is a monument to his ability and his experience in taxation matters. He spent the winter of 1896 as member of committee of three from the House drafting revenue code, which although it has been changed in some particulars was made the basis of the present code His associates in both the House and the Senate learned to rely upon his knowledge and experi- ence in tax legislation. No man in either house was considered his su- perior in extent of informhtion upon the sources of the States income and upon the expenses of the State.
 His selection as Lieutenafat-Gove nor would contribute to Alabama's law making body a recognized authority on the States finances. No branch of leg islation Is so important. for practical ly all legislation bears upon or Is in- fiuenced by the financial affairs of the state. In an advisory capacity Mr. Meador could render services of the highest value.
 As Lieutenant- Governor and the pre- siding offieer of the Senate would ba accorded the respect and confidence of the members of the Alabama Senate. He has before this filled the place of honor to which he aspires, that of the presiding officer of the Senate. Be- fore the office of Lieutenant-Govern was created by the new Constitution when President W. D. Jelks became Governor at the death of Governor William J. Sanford. Mir. Meador was

 Birmingham, August 24.--tSpecial. . For fully half an hour tday Alex. iander R. Chisholm. the defaulting tell CT of the First Rational Bank who was bound over to the United States grand jury under a bond Of $25,000 for embedding t100,000 of the banks funds, held n consultation with his mo- ther in the Jefferson county Jail. Mrs. Chisholm was allowed to enter the room In which her son Is confined, thereby getting out of view of any morbid curiosity seekers who might there. Mrs. Chisholm was accompa- nied by another son and the greeting between the unfortunate young man in jail and his mother and brother was cordial. There was no sign of tears In Mrs. Chisholm's eyes when she emerg- ed from the prison. and it was gener- ally understood that her visit was for the purpose of telling her son to pc brave rather than cause him any heart angush.
 Chisholms father had preceded his mother to the jail and they were m consultation when Mrs. Chisholm and brother arrived. Sherlm Burgin in- structed the warden to allow Mrs. Chls- holm to enter the room in which the defaulter is confined.
 While no attempt has been made to make bond for Chisholm, 1t was said today that bond could be made at any time it may be deemed proper, For some reason. 1t was said that Chis- holn's friends thought 1t best for him to stay under the -surveilance of the taller for several days.
