MISSING M'lNlYRB
 WITH CORONA GO.
SIMILARITY IN NAMES LEADS FRIENDS TO BELIEVE THAT THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED IS AN DREW MlNTYRE.

All indications are that Andrew Mcn- tyre, the Alabaman who is missing in New York City, and for whom the metro poitan detectives are searching, is in reality Alexander Mcintyre, the we'll known auditor of the Corona Coal and Iron company, the headquarters of which is in Birmingham.
 While the above is true, Mrs. Mcintyre who, according to press dispatches. is frantic with grief and apprehension. has not communicated with officials of the company. This fact causes the hope that the man who has disappeared is not Alex ander Mcintyre of the Corona company.
 1t was learned yesterday morning that Alexander Mcintyre and wife are at present in New York, and that their ad- dress is the Marlborough hotel. Tnls was the hotel from which Andrew Mcln- tyre disappeared. The local interpretation is to the effect that the Andrew Mcln- tyre is in reality Alexander Mcintyre. and the similarity of the names caused the error.
 l.. B. Musgrove, president of the oonl- pany of which Alexander Mcintyre is auditor. is also in New York. The chill dren of Mir and Mrs. Mcintyre are at Corona. The elder of the children is on.Y l2. and that Mrs. Mcintyre. in case local interpretation is correct, has not com munlcated with them, is not judged out of the ordinary.
 According to the press dispatches, MI. Mcintyre disappeared Wednesday night. and since that time nothing has been heard of him. According 10 the dispatches Mrs. Mcintyre has enlisted the aid of the New York detectives in tracing Ter husband. Foul play Is feared
 MT Mcintyre stands high in the favor of his company, with which he has been connected for n long term of years.

FIRST NATIONAL
 AGAIN ENLARGED
IMPROVEMENTS AT BIG INSTITU- TON GIVE TT THE LARGEST BANKING QUARTERS IN SOUTH. WORK FINISHED YESTERDAY.

The work of enlarging the quarters of the First National bank, which has been in progress for several months, has been completed, the finishing touches having been added yesterday. This makes the third time the bank has had to expand its working space since moving into the First National Bank building in January, 1904 At that date it was thought that the quarters would be ample for many years to come, but the rapid increase of the banks business necessitated more and more room.
 The new extension covers an area of 2G00 square feet, which, combined with the original design, gives about lO0 square feet of ground floor. In addi- ton to this great area the mezzanine floor contains about 500 square feet. The basement, used chiefly for storage pur- poses, brings the total available area to over 1S,Oo0 square feet.
 The First National now has not only the largest banking quarters In the south, but 1t is said that only three or rour banks in New York are more extensive.
 The new area Is made by converting the court section of the building into bank ing quarters The entrance from Twen- tieth street and the entrance from the vestibule of the building will remain as they are and the magnificent lobby will also be unchanged, but there will be ad- ditional lobby space in the new portion.
 Convenience. taste and artistic treat ment are combined throughout the bank It Is splenddly lighted and finely ventl- lated. The officers have their desks in the new section. Their space is enclosed with massive panels of Sienna marble. brought from Italy. This Is singularly beautiful and harmonizes finely with the rich ma hogany woodwork and the general color scheme of the bank.
 Among many elegant features of the new extension are the directors room and the quarters for lady depositors. The ladies apartments are marvels of eauly in appointment and furnishing. Adjoining the officers quarters is a large room where the mail is opened and where man ufacturers make up their pay rolls. Jus. beyond that room is narrow passage where lockers for the clerks have been installed. This passage extends the depth of that end of the building and connects with the Second avenue side, thus acting as an air shaft of exceptional value in ventilation.
 The savings department is in the front part of the bank The tellers' windows remain as formerly along the main lobby.
 The temporary desks standing in the lobby near the vaults will be replaced ill a few days by handsome mahogany pea estal desks.

MEET TO DISCUSS
 STATE PROHIBITION
Local Committee Will Go Over Sub- ject at Meeting to Be Held
 This Week.

The headquarters committee of the Ala bama Anti-Saloon league will hold a reg ular meeting this week in the offices of ,ne superintendent and among other inn por-ant matters will consider a fight for state prohibition law, in case the legis- lature convenes in special session.
 This meeting will be of especial inn portance, as the legislators look to the league for it's sentiment, and are very apt to act accordingly. In case Dr. Crumpton sees fit to push a prohibition law. his friends in the legislature will attempt so get the two-thirds vote, in order that it may be considered.
 Brooks Lawrence, superintendent of the league, returned to Birmingham Friday night, after trip to Montgomery, where ne consulted with the governor, and va rious other members of the league.
 He comes pac-. with the conviction that the prohlbitionists will have no trouble getting the twc-thirds vote of the two houses, when it comes to passing a state prohibition bill. 1t is probable that other companion bills will be introduced in order to better enforce prohibition should 1t made state -wiGe.

NEED STEAM !?
Get 1t From Selected Food.

It is good to know the kind of food those with weak stomach and hearts can get along with for when man or woman is little below par, an easily dgested food is the thing that goes right to the spot.
 A man in Kirksville, Mo, tells how he got out of trouble by using Grape-Nuts food. He says: My trouble was intense suffering in the stomach. It was called gastralgia. but no medicine gave any per manent relief.
 In June of last year l began to grow much worse in every respect. l was terribly constipated and the stomach pains were severe. I ran down until l weighed only 120 pounds. I had to give up my business for my nerves were completely unstrung and I could not sleep more than two or three hours during the night, and that only by snatches during a lull in the pain
 "l tried almost every kind of food but finally was put on Grape-Nuts and in q little while it began to make its worth known. l began to sleep better nights my strength gradually came back. and gained in weight rapidly until a littlte while ago I weighed 165 pounds and have been a well man for months with never touch of the old trouble.
 My bowels are perfect. the nervous trouble has gone. You can realize appreciate the value of Grape-Nu food"
 This is another evidence of the prac- tical worth of Grape-Nuts food in cases of weak stomach and bad digestion. Ii is the most scientifically made food in existence and contains absolutely noth- ing but selected parts of field grains so cooked and prepared as to admit of almost immediate digestion and assimila- tion, carrying with 1t the elements fur nished by Mother Nature for rebuild ing the nervous system. the gray matter of the brain and the solar plexus.

Conner Cont1rms Sale ef
 His 18,OOO Acre Plantation

between Union Springs and Eufaula. In the tract are several thousand acres for merly used for stock farms. Recent im- provements amounting to $5O0O0 were made by Governor Conner. There are more than two hundred miles of wire fences enclosing vast tracts of fine farm lands and pastures.
 The price paid the governor by the purchasers, according to well defined ru- mors, was 8 per acre, or $162, ,0oO The deal is undoubtedly the largest for sim- proved farm lands in the history of the state, and probably the largest in the south.
 Other than that he had disposed of the property to Messrs. Thompson and Mill Ter, the governor had nothing to say rel atlve to the deal. He stated that he still retained possession of his fathers home stead. thereby retaining just claim to his former oft-repeated statement that he was a farmer.

STOLLITT REFUSES
 TO DISCUSS MATTER
THINKS PUBLIC HAS NO RIGHT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DIE FEReNCES OVER ERECTION or NEW TERMINAL STATION.

Mir Stollitt of the contracting firm of Oliver-Stolitt company, between which company, erecting the new Terminal sta ton, and the Birmingham Terminal com pany, there are certain alleged differences, brusquely refused to discuss the situation yesterday with an Age-Herald reporter.
 When seen, MT. Stollitt was in the of fees Of the Birmingham Terminal com pany, on the eleventh floor of the Brown Marx building When questioned by the reporter. Mr Stollitt, appearing consid- erably irritated declared that he was unable to see what right The Age-Herald had to pry into his affairs
 When 1t was explained. to Mir. Stollitt that prying into his affairs was not the object of the reporter or the paper rep resented by him, but that the object was to give the true status of affairs to the public. Mir. Stollltt informed the reporter that if The Age-IIerald can manage its own affairs, he certainly could manage his.
 With this statement, MT. Stollitt turn ing on his heel, retired into one or the private rooms of the companys office, and the reporter being impressed with an idea that the interview was at an ena. left the building. MT. Stollitt appeared considerably worried and irritated.
 As far as known, there were no addi- tional developments yesterday in tho trouble alleged to be existing between the Birmingham Terminal company and inc contracting firm of Oliver-Stollit com pany. The contracting company's attor- ney as narrated in yesterdays Age Herald gave the Information that the Terminal company was seeking to ter minate the contract with the firm repre- sented by him, and that his firm would resist every effort to terminate the con tract on the part of the company. It Is very probable, therefore. that the next development will be through the courts.

When a man. from drinking coffee gets to such condition that he cannot eat breakfast without throwing it up, 1t seems time to quit but there are thou sand of people who do not understand that when an article of food or drink produces such conditions as these, It should be absolutely left off
 A little woman out in Mont writes that she and her husband knew enough 10 quit coffee when it had rapped them hard. She says: My husband badly affected that he ate no breakfast for thrers or four years. He would often try to drink a few sips of coffee and invariably threw il up.

He objected at first. saying that he would be sure to throw 1t up. but when 1 insisted upon his trying 1t. It agreed with him.

Governor B. B. Conner, arriving from Montgomery last night, confirmed the the rumor to the effect that he had disposed of his Barbour and Bullock county plan tations.
 The purchasers were J. o. Thompson, the well-known internal revenue collec- tor of Alabama, and J. W. Miller.
 For what purpose the purchasers will adapt the property is unknown, although it is rumored that MT. Thompson was act ing for Booker T. Washington the we'll known negro educator, and that Wash ington would use the soil in teaching negroes the art of farming.
 Governor Conner, however, had nothing to say in this connection. He simply confirmed the rumor that he had sold the property, and mentioned the pur- chasers.
 The farm comprises 1Sooo acres of im- proved farm lands, lying in and around Conner, on the Central of Georgia railroad
