THINK PREACHER
 POISONED HIS WIFE
Involved in Scandal in Chicago, Hancock Is Under Police Surveillance in London While Autopsy Is Made,

CHICAGO, July 1S.-The Rev. Walter Swineburne Hancock. former ly assistant rector of St. James Epis- copal church, where, until on account of scandals with women he was in- hibited by former Bishop McLaren, he posed as a soulful Beau Brummel, is under police surveillance in London, England, on suspicion of having poi soned his wife.
 Mrs. Hancock, who was the widow of Paul Townsend Jones of New "0Tk, died March Z3 Ias., the cause of ueath being certified as appendicitis. After wards the body was exhumed on ac- count of the suspicious of her son, who is a member of the English bar.
 At the inquest the son intimated strongly that he thought his mother was poisoned by Hancock in order to obtain her property. Other witnesses testified that Mrs. Hancock had drawn a will giving everything to her son, but when she attempted to sign the document on her death bed, she col lapsed. The inquest was continued to allow time for a chemical analysis of the contents of the stomach.
 Hancock's career in Chicago was during 1S95-1S9S for the period of about fifteen months. During that time he boarded at the Virginia ho- tel. His conduct left an indelible i'm pression on the minds of the mem .f Co pf, ionable congregations in Chicago.
 As the Rev. James s. Stone, rector of St. James expressed it, Hancock s arrival was like the entrance of a new character on the stage" He came ostensibly from pastorate at St. Johns, New FoundlaHd, via New York He was an Oxford man, accord ing to his own story, and, apparently, his tailors were second to none.
 As Hancock brought good letters and there was vacancy in the cler' l fcal staff of the church, he secured the appointment.
 All vert well until it began to be rumored about that the young cleric was fndiscreet in his choice of women ! associates. His bacneier apartments at the parish house became a source oi gossip. It was not long before the l rumors became so tangible as to have disagreeable facts among them.
 Hancock was discharged from his position in the church in the spring ot 1905 by Bishop McLaren. He was given a chance to make a defense, but declined to do so. A few days later Hancock went to New York and noth ing more was heard of him in Chica go. It is thought his marriage tc Mrs. Grace Jones took place aC tha time in New York, where he visited at ? East Thirty-fourth street. It il said that the year of the marriage Wal 1897.

GREYMOUNT MAY
 VOTE FOR NEW TOWN
PLAN IS UNDER WAY TO SECURE THE INCORPORATION OF SMITH. FIELD, oWENToN AND MUCH OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTY.

Something like 1000 people will or will not become citizens of Greymount, the proposed new Incorporated town, after an election to be held April 27.
 Articles of incorporation were filed in the office of the probate judge Wednes- day, and the day of the election to de- eide whether or not there shall be city is set for the 27th of this month.
 The territory which it is proposed to ln- corporate includes smhhfield, owenton and much of the adjacent property, amounting to about 1500 acres. all of which is not now a part of any of the numerous towns in Jefferson county.
 The property extends north and south from the Frisco tracks to Walker street and Fairview on the west, and nearly to the city limits of Birmingham on the east. The large storm sewer which runs through that portion of the county forms a part of the boundary line of the pro- posed city on the southwest side.
 The matter has been under considera- ton for some time and was first men toned about two months ago. Since that time those interested in the matter have been working out the details and prepar- ing to incorporate.

BLOCKADE FINLAND.
Russians Want to Prevent the I'm portaton of Arms By Revolutionists.

St. Petersburg, April 1.-The Russian authorities are arranging for strict blockade of Finland, now that the season of navigation is approaching, in order to prevent the importation of arms by Finnish or Russian reyolutionists.
 Russia has instituted negotiations with Sweden and other powers for permission to use Aland Island, at the entrance of the Gulf of Bothnia as a military ana naval base. Under the terms of a joint treaty, Russia is forbidden to garrison the islands of this group. A fleet of torpedo boats and small cruisers will be used to patrol the Baltic and some vessels will be sent to the White sea. The increase of Russian troops in the strategic centers of the Duchy of Finland also is contem- plated

DILLINGHAM; co. WILL OPEN WITH
 BIG FREE CONCERTS

Col Frank A. Dillingham;, the great advertiser and philanthropist, opens his series of entertainments this week. The open air advertising concerts have usually aroused @ great deal of comment, and ill all probability Q great many peo- pie Will turn out to witness the affair. Col. Dillinghams opening lecture will be given this week. Admission to both 1eo- ture and entertainment is always free, and an enormous crowd is expeetedI on the grounds. Col. Dillingham; S reputation as an eloquent orator and magnetic en- tertainer is we'll known. It is under stood that at his opening lecture at Jack sonville, Fla, over 1900 people were pres ent. .ss-.s
 Birmingham people have an oppor- tunity of hearing the talented colonel for the first time and be able to judge whether his reputation has been fairly earned.
 W. L. Houseman, the popular druggist was talking in the lobby of the hotel yes- terday, and in speaking of Col. Dilling- ham said: You people down here cer- tainly have a surprise in store for you when Col. Dillingham; reaches town. He Is the warmest proposition 1 have ever seen. In the first place, the very way he can speak Is worth going a long dis tance to hear, as he is the most naturally eloquent and magnetic man before an huul6iiCe 1 nave ever nSlened to. Ills advertising methods are original with him, and from the moment he reaches, a city until he leaves he has everybody on the jump I saw him in Jacksonville, Fla, last month, and l want to tell you he had that town stirred up. And as for money, ten-dollar bill don't seem to look any bigger to him than a dime does to the ordinary individual. While he takes in great deal of money from the sale of medicine while in city, I doubt whether he leaves much better off than he came, as when he can't find some way of giving his money away he will buy hundreds of dollars worth of food for the poor.
 T believe he owns and wears some of the finest diamonds in the country. All have got to say is wait until he comes. He will own the Birmingham district the first week"
 If MT Houseman has not exaggerated the gentleman who is about to open this week, Col Dillingham; must be indeed an unusually interesting character.

Goes to Pen for Life.

.Anniston, April 11.-(Special. )--The jury in the case of Charlie Gannaway, the ne- gro charged with the murder of MT. Dave Lowe at Eulaton last fall, returned a verdict at noon today fixing the ne- gro's punishment at imprisonment for life.
 Gannaway was employed by Lowe and shot the latter after demanding payment of money he claimed was due him. The shot took effect in the lower leg. causing his death thirty days later. This verdict, while disappointing to many who believed the negro ought to have been put to death on the gallows, was not altogether un- expected when the jury failed to agree at once.

Since the acquittal of the defendants in the conspiracy cases the governments course as against those indicted for peonage has been somewhat uncertain Now the witnesses have all been dismissed for the present, including the governments star, Jean Reinhold, the interpreter, also indicted for peonage, and have gone to New York and New Orleans. The indications appear to be that the cases will hardly again be heard from.
