POULTRY SHOW
 HERE NEXT WEEK
Alabama Fanciers Are Planning To Make Exhibition Much Larger
 Than Last Year.

The Alabama Poultry and Pet Stock association will hold it's eleventh annual exhibition in Birmingham next week This association made record for itself in the show it held last year, but the man agement thinks the association will over come some of the objectionable features of last years show. splendid stand has been obtained on Third avenue and Twentieth street, which will make it easy for everyone to attend The show will be in charge of MT. H. B. Lansden of Manchester, Tenn, probably the best known chicken fancier in this part of the country outside of professional judges. He has had large experience in conducting poultry shows, and it is certain he will conduct this one in the best possible man- ner. There will be displays of all kinds of thoroughbred poultry and many ex- hibitions of pet stock. Already entries from New Orleans, Louisville and several Tennessee points are in.
 Local breeders are invited to bring in their beauties and pets of all varieties. Those who have not secured catalogues can obtain them at the poultry supply stores. The show opens next Tuesday and continues four days. MT. Charlie Barber is president of the association, and he has his hands full arranging the details of the coming exhibition.

NO MAIL BOX IN
 NEW UNION STATION
WRITER COMPLAINS THAT ONLY THREE COLLECTIONS ARE MADE DAILY FROM THE BOX NEAREST THE TERMINAL.

The fact that the Terminal station has no mail box within it's confines is be- ing complained of. One of the com plainants has written letter to The Age-Herald, in which he states that 46 trains come and go from the Terminal every day and that the only mail box is located outside and that the mail is collected only three times a day from this box, a. m. ? D. m., and p. m. after which it is taken to the postoffice. The writer ends his letter with Now what do you think of that for a live town?"
 It Is very probable that a box will be placed within the station by the local postoffice and that the number of col lections will be increased. An endeavor was made to secure sub-station for the Terminal last July but failed. An other effort will be made, but the mat ter cannot be taken up before next July. All of the mail collected at the box will have to be taken to the postofflce for assortment, however.
 In speaking of the matter of installing a box to be used for emergency mail i. e., mail which coulds not be gotten to the postoffice in time to make the trains, Postmaster J. Rivers Carter said yesterday afternoon
 "The matter of installing an emer- gency box is under the control of the railway mail service. with headquarters in Atlanta One of these boxes was To- cated in the Louisville and Nashville station two or three years ago, but the people abused it so much that it was found necessary to cut it out. The box was only intended for mail that could not be placed in the postoffice in time to catch the trains. but the people didn't seem to realize this, for the box was all ways packed full of mail which could not leave for several hours. thus entail ing a considerable amount of work and confusion to the railway mail clerks. If the people can't appreciate privilege they should not have it."

MEET IN PRATT CITY.
FiveCent Fare Committee To Hear
 Report on Montgomery Trip.

Another meeting of the Ensley 5-cent fare joint committee has been called for next Monday afternoon at o'clock at the Mayors office in Pratt City by Chairman J. F. Shelby. This meeting was called at the request of E. J. Hud- nall of Pratt City, chairman of the subcommittee appointed to go to Mont gomery and place the matter before the railroad commission, who desires to make a report of the work done there.
 A date for the hearing of the matter has not been set by the commission. but it is expected that it will come up during the next month. Members of the committee are at work securing data, which they claim will refute certain statements made by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company in the explanation of it's inability to put on a 5-cent fare.
 We are working harder than ever on this subject and there will be no let up on it. said MT. Shelby yesterday afternoon. While number of the mem- bers of the joint committee including myself, have absolutely no personal in- terest in the matter, we have been ap- pointed by the commercial organizations of which we are members to handle it. And it Is going to be handled until we secure that 5-cent fare"

NO VERDICT YET
 IN MILLER TRIAL
JURY IS BELIEVED TO BE BADLY HUNG-RETIRED LAST NIGHT WITHOUT MAKING ANY AN
 NcEMENT-lNTERE IN IT.

The fate of Clarence s. Miller still hangs in the balance.
 The case went to the jury yesterday afternoon between 12:30 and o'clock, and after dining the 12 men were closeted Tn the jury room and there they remained until 8 clock No verdict had been agreed upon at that hour and accordingly the jury quit the room and retired to one of the local hotels for the night. It is not know how the jury stood last night, but after being out for six hours there was apparently no possibility of a verdict It is judged that the jury was badly hung. A verdict is expected some time this morning.
 The arguments in the case were con- cluded shortly before noon. Attorney John M. Caldwell closed for the defense. and Solicitor H. P. Hefin was the concluding speaker.
 Judge Samuel l.. Weaver. who has pre- sided in the court throughout the trial, charged the jury at length in an ex- haustive discussion of murder in the first and second degrees and manslaughter in the first and second degrees. The range of the penalties which the jury could inhict under the charge was from one year in the county jail. with maximum fine of $500, to death by hanging.
 The defense has offered throughout the trial plea that the defendant was drunk at the time of the fatality, that his mind was so stupefed by drink and that his mental faculties were so paraized that he was unable to reason in his actions In rebuttal the state introduced three witness to disprove this plea. They were Officer Gates. who received the prisoner, and a man named Smithers, who talked to Miller after he had been placed inside the jail. All testified that the defendant was not drunk to the best of their knowl- edge.
 There has been great deal of interest in the trial. The court room was uncom- fortably filled yesterday morning. and last night the telephones in the office of the criminal court were kept busy on ac- count of the inquiries as to the verdict of the tury
