of this district than any other town
in the state, and new industries are
being constantly located there.
In addition to the industries North Biz
mingham has recently organized bank
with capital stock of $4,000, all of
which has been paid In, and the bank
will be open for business as soon as
quarters can be secured.
Railroads Build Terminals There.
Three of the largest railroads in The
district have gone to North Birmingham
for their terminals, the Frisco, Southern
and the Illinois Central. All of them
bought large tracts of land and are build
ing yards and other necessary buildings
The Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company has purchased large
acreage in North Birmingh supposedly
for a power plant.
The present population of North BIZ
mingham is estimator at $780, which is
said to be conservative. When census
was taken year ago the city had nearly
1900 people. After the railroads COM
plete their yards and terminals, and the
new plants that are building or the old
ones that are increasing their capacity,
are completed, it is believed that the
population of North Birmingham Will be-
practically twice what it is at present.
Many North Birmingham employees are
now residing in the city of Birmingham.
Vote on $4,000 Bond Issue.
The city is also improving rapidly. IT
is now building a complete sewerage sys-
tenn, and the city council at ihe last
meeting provided for a vote of the peo-
pie on the matter of issuing Slj5,OOJ IN I'M
provement bonds of various kinds.
OF this bond issue to be voted on S3o,0O0
is for school bonds to build new school
house on the north side; $4,000 is for eX-
tending the water works, any part or all
to be issued and sold as needed, and the
remaining $500 for extending the lighting
system. these also to be issued needed.
There are prospects of very considera-
HE development in North Birmingham in
the near future. In addition to the In
dustries mentioned several others nave
been making inquiries as to locations for
plants and one large concern has had an
option on some property there for some
time
The latest plant 70 be established is
that of the birmingham Car Manufacture
ing company with a capital of 100000.
IT will manufacture tram cars, mine cars
and all varieties of small cars. 1t will
also make the wheels for these cars, and
will manufacture some standard car
wheels.
The Illinois Central railroad is now
building its yards at North Birmingham.
This includes a round house, repair shops.
sheds and extensive switching yards.

Rumors of Conte st.

The rumor that the result of the re-
cent election will be contested has been
afloat for several days, for it is said
that evidence was being procured with
such a movement in view. No definite
action has yet been taken. consequently
1t IS not yet an assured fact that there
will be contest but the committees
that have been compiling the data will
meet in few days and when the reports
have been carefully gone over, if there is
sufficient proof that there were parties
who voted illegally in that they We're not
residents within the city limits, then 1t
is highly probable that contest papers
will be filed. In such an event it will be
up to the courts to decide the legality of
the votes cast
+. G. Fonvllle said that he could not
state yet just what would be done, as he
had not gotten In all the data, but in
timated that contest was very probable.

MURDERED HIM IN
FIT OF JEALOUSY
Mrs. McDonaId's Mind Wreck
ed After Shooting Guerin
HE WAS TO BE MARRIED
Crude Verses Found In Woman's Bag
Showing Absorbing Passlon-Had
Loved Him Always-Her
Husband With Her.

Chicago, February 22-With her mind
almost completely wrecked, Mrs. Flora
Mcdonald who yesterday shot and killed
Webster S. Guerin, was removed last
night to the annex of the Harrison Street
Police station, where her husband
Michael C. Mcdonald, spent most of the
night with her.
After her removal, her condition be-
came gradually worse and she could
neither recognize Mcdonald or others who
had questioned her earlier in the day
Bromides and hypodermic injections
were given her almost every hour
throughout the night, but she could not
be quieted. At times she imagined the
sun was shining over her and that it's
rays had caused her head to burst.
Mcdonald was deeply affected by his
wifes condition and frequently sobbed.
From the time of the tragedy until a
late hour last night, Mrs. Mcdonald
talked in rambling and disconnected
manner and little was obtained from her
concerning the motive for the crime. From
other sources and also from pieces of
crudely composed verse found in her
hand bag, it was learned that Mrs. Nc
Donald had been possessed of an all-ab-
sorbing passon-a love for some one.
The object Of her affection Is not dis
closed in the verses, but developments
after the tragedy led to the belief that
it was Guerin.
Mrs. McDonald's explanation to the po-
lice as to the motive for her crime seem
exploded by the statements of her hus-
band. Mrs. Mcdonald declared Guerln
had been levying blackmail on her and
that repeatedly he had obtained sums
from her on threats of exposure.
This explanation, however, was contra
dicted by the words of Mcdonald. He said
he never gave his wife large sums of
money. the sums having been sufficient
for the needs of the household or the
we'll defined needs of the woman.
Guerins relatives declared that since
Gueriu had been a boy in school, Mrs.
Mcdonald had been In love with him and
that she had continued her attentions
even after he had used every influence
to break his relations with her.
1t was said last night that Guerin re-
Gently became engaged to a Westside
young woman. This situation was con-
sdered as significant, inasmuch as it
may have meant that he had served no.
tice on Mrs. Mcdonald that her relations
must cease.

NORTH BIRMINGHAM
HAS $500 EMPLOYEES
Remarkable Growth Made Dur
ing Past Two Years
MANY PLANTS ARE SMALL
North Birmingham Has Larger Num-
Der of Small Industries Than Any
Other Town In Jeffer-
son County.

North Birmingham has twenty-sx in
dustries and there are about 800 people
employed in them.
A compilation was made yesterday by
Frank Nelson, Jr., and 1t shows the num-
Der of industries, the number of men
employed in each, and the plants estab-
lished within the past two years.
The list shows that seventeen have been
established within the past twenty-four
months and that some of the old ones
have doubled their capacity during that
time.
The largest plant in North Birmingham
is the Dimmick Pipe Works, which en-
ploys in the neighborhood of 1000 men,
and which has within the past two years
doubled its capacity. From that maximum
the plants graduate down to the smaller
industry, employing from 10 to 10 men
each.
The plants which have commenced
operations within the past two years and
the number of men employed in each
of them is as follows:
