SEEKING AID FOR
 BURNED COLLEGE
LETTER SENT TO CITIZENS ASK, ING FOR CONT RIBUTIoNs FOR
 REBUILDING LAuDERpALE COL. LEeE AT NORTH BIRMINGHAM.

Three of the trustees of Lauderdale col- lege, Dr. U. c. Mason, P. F. Clarke and B. H. Hudson, have issued a circular let ter to the public requesting aid in re- building the college buildings which were destroyed by fire December 10. It is negro school situated at North Birming ham and sustained heavy loss recently when destroyed by fire The loss was much in excess of the insurance. In part the letter is as follows:
 "Lauderdale college buildings were to- tally destroyed by fire on December 10 1905, and the loss was only partially cov- cred by insurance. President Lauderdale had spent his own money and efforts in establishing the school and in erecting the buildings destroyed by fire, solely for the betterment of his race, and the board of trustees take this method of soliciting whatever assistance the good people of Birmingham and elsewhere may give in rebuilding the school.
 I've are well assured that the work President Lauderdale is doing will meet with hearty approval by all and on that ground we ask you to aid us in the mat ter"

ROONEY IS RECEIVING
 MEDICAL ATTENTION

James Rooney, the man held in the county jail on suspicion of being .New York Harry and in whose behalf habeas corpus proceedings will be had before Judge Greene in the criminal court Sat urday morning. has been receiving the attention of pr. McAdory for some days past. and although not confined to the hospital section of the jail. is said to be far from a well man.
 Rooney, it will be remembered. was brought to Birmingham from Bridgeport, Conn.,, three weeks ago. having been held by the Connecticut authorities for the Birmingham and Jefferson county of- fieers after being released from jail there. He is held under an indictment charging New York Harry with having assisted in blowing open and robbing the safe of the Standard oil company in Birming- ham the night of March 27, 1900
 Rooney has denied continuously that he is New York Harry, and has further denied that he was ever in Birmingham before he was brought here by Detective Bodeker and Chief Deputy sheriff strad- ford. He was taken to the mines at Pratt City a week or so ago to be identified by Tom Fahey. one of the gang which robbed the Standard Oil company's safe. but Fahey stated that Rooney was not the man the police wanted, that he was not New York Harry and not mem- Der of the gang who robbed the safe.
 Within the next few days, by Saturday at the latest, Frank Edwards, alias Frank Hahn, another member of the gang who
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-02-01

is also serving a term of imprisonment at Flat Top. will be brought to Birming- ham to identify Rooney. Detective Bod eller has received a letter from Mrs Duncan. widow of Frank Duncan. mem Der of the gang who was hanged for the murder of Policemen Adams and Kirkley, announcing that she would be present at the habeas corpus proceedings
 Rooney has been complaining Of his health week or more and for some days past has been visited regularly by pr. McAdory. He is said to be a eonsump- tive, and shows clearly the marks made by the inroads of the disease.
 The habeas corpus proceedings Saturday will be held in the first division of the criminal court and will be of unusual interest to the public generally. Attor- neys Gibson &s Davis, counsel for the defense, have stated that the burden of proof is now upon the state, and that the prosecution must show good reason to believe that the prisoner is New York Harry in order to hold him. They state that there is no indictment out against James Rooney, and unless the state can show at the hearing that Rooney is New York Harry the prisoner will be dis charged
 On the other hand, it is announced that the state has the right of appeal from the decision of this habeas corpus pro- ceeding, owing to the presence of an in- dictment, and it is believed by the at tachees of the criminal court that the prisoner will not yet gain his liberty, even though the judgment be in his favor.

PROMINENT JAP HERE.
Has Part of Japanese Exhibit at the
 Lewis and Clark Exposition.


 T. Mlzutani. who represents Y. Hashi- moto. the commissioner for the Japanese empire to the Lewis and Clark exposition in Portland, is in Birmingham with a large portion of the exhibit. which will be sold here. He was also with the Jap anese display at the St. Louis exposition.
 In talking of the Japanese exhibits at the two expositions, MT. Mlzutanl said yesterday:
 Japan had a finer exhibit at both of the expositions than any other nation. Our exhibit at Portland was very similar to the one we had at St. Louis. Of course the difference in the size and conditions at the Portland exposition compelled us to make a number of changes.
 Japan is advertising her manufactured articles to the world and a great deal of money was spent in getting up the Jap anese exhibit We are seeking to intro duce these wares into all the states, as we wish to create q market for our goods
 "'rhe exhibit includes fine speciments of Royal Satsuma Royal Kutau. Royal Im- ari. gold and silver Closonne. bronzes. brasses. metal wares. ivory carvings, wood carvings. carved furniture, lacquered wares, silk tapestries. silk embroideries. silk screens. silk klmonos, cut velvet hangings. netsuke purses, etc
 Mr. Mizutani is president of the Mikado Art company, which took more than half of the prizes awarded the Japanese exhibit at the Portland exposition

LARGE CROWD WAS
 AT SKATING RINK
RINK WILL BE OPEN THIS MORN ING FROM 10 TO 12 O'CLOCK FOR
 WoMEN-FiRsT LADIES' DAY. INSTRUCTORS IN ATTENDANCE

Another large crowd took advantage Of the opportunity to do some skating at the auditorium last night, and after the place closed for the night Manager Whiting announced that he believed the people of Birmingham had come to discover this early that skating was one of the best and healthiest exercises which could be had by men, women and children.
 At one time last night there were 200 or more persons on the rink, nearly all of whom appeared to be well able to maintain their position on the rollers There were few persons to whom the art was unknown. judging by the small num- her of falls. Occasionally some one would fall and would bring down others be- cause of his frantic efforts to maintain his balance by grasping those persons near him.
 This morning form 10 o'clock until noon, the rink will be open for ladies only and Manager Whiting expects a large number to be present. Many ladies have informed Manager Whiting of their in- tention to take lessons from the instruc- tors, and this will be the first ladies day of the auditorium. Tuesday and Thursday mornings will be reserved for ladies. and Saturday mornings are for ladies and children only. The general public, how eyer, will be admitted during the after noon and evenings every day.

 General Tyler, who at the request or his chieftain selected 25O picked men and stubbornly contested the advance of Gen eral Wilson's command near Selma, just after Hoods retreat from his campaign in Middle Tennessee. the winter of 1864 and 1865.
 At this time General Forrest was sore ly pressed and was completely hemmed in, on one side by the Alabama river' running banks full. and General Wilson's victorious troops on the other.
 At an opportune time General Tyler, at the head of his Kentuckians, assault- ed the enemy so vigorously that they were thrown into confusion for time, and General Forrest placed himself at the head of his escort company and, with a few stragglers that he had been able to pick up, he ordered his bugler tQ sound the charge In a wild, headlong dash they cut their way through the en- emy's ranks to freedom.
