SMITH MENTIONED
FOR THE NEW PLACE
Committee Is at Work to Reach Agree
ment on Candidate for
Federal Judge.

It was rdmored yesterday that Edward
d. Smith, cit yattorney. was being con-
sidered for the new federal judgeship
which 1t is very probable will be created
for the northern district Of the state.
1t is remembered that n special COM
mlttee has been named to consider can
didate on whom the entire membership
of the Jefferson County Bar association
could agree. This committee will make
report Saturday morning. 1t has been
learned that there are several names be-
ing considered by this committee, but
that Mr.. Smith was receiving especial at
tention. 1t is reported as doubtful as to
whether or not Judge S. d. Weakley will
allow his name to be introduced and 1t
is further reported that A. o. Lane will
not be in this contest, preferring to enter
heart and soul into the race for one of the
new state judgeships to be created by the
legislature.
1t is understood by the Bar association
that the bill creating the new federal
judgeshlp will be favorably reported to
the senate Monday. The rumor connect
ing Mr.. Smith with this position pleased
the majority of those who heard It, As
Mr.. Smith is at present in Montgomery
no expression from him could be obtained.

SLICK DUCKS GET
THIS MANS MONEY
Smooth Enough to Slide on
Barbed Wire Fence
AND HOW THEY CAN RUN |
J. H. Miller Gave His $50 to Stake
holder and Then Could Not
See the Man for the
Dust.
AND HOW THEY CAN RUN !

'F1eeced by three slick Birmingham
ducks" was the report which J. II.
Miner had to give of himself to Judge
Alternately yesterday when he came to
the city for the purpose of securing war
rants. He did not know their names. but
stated that such greasy spooners could
slide on a barbed wire.
From his story Mr.. Miner lives near
Leeds and runs a large stock farm, Yes
terday while he was at work in his front
yard. two men approached and engaged
him in conversation Shortly one of them
produced a knife with a spring catch,
and opened 1t several times. Naturally a
discussion came up as to whether any
one else could open the knife, Mr.. Miner
said he could I'll bet you $50 you can't
was the reply.
About this time third party appeared
on the scene, and wanted to know what
they were talking about The difficulty
was repeated to him. and he offered to
hold stakes. Thereupon Mr.. Miner handed
him $50.
AS Mr.. Miner turned to spring open the
knife, Mr. Stakeholder turned down the
big road He did not walk, nor run-he
flew. Gasping with surprise, the victim
started in pursuit, but while the stake
holder lost him In dust the other two
eonfederates made off in the other di-
rection and Mr. Miner with his spring
knife came to Birmingham. He thought
he would report the matter to the au-
thorities, but did not believe all the de-
tectives in the United States could catch
his three gifted artists.

FEW MONTHS.

The Birmingham Railway, Light mad
Power company will materially add to its
power house on Powell avenue between

A battery of boilers of 5000 horse power
will be installed in the boiler house of the
plant, there being an abundance of room
there. This Will be big increase to the
boiler capacity of the power house.
A 1000 kilowat railway unit will also
be established, which will furnish large
supply of current for the street railway
department, and one $50 lSilowat Edison
system unit will also be installed to in
crease the electric lighting department.
There is also sufficient room at the power
plant for both of these pieces of appa-
ratus.
