CRAZY At SEVENTEEN
Is AWFUL EXAMPE
BOY BEGINS WITH CIGARETTES,
PASSES THROUGH COCAINE AND
MORPHINE STAGES, POLICE
COURTS AND NOW IN ASYLUM.

Crazy at II years, is the fearful condi-
tion of a young fellow whose parents
live at East Lake, and who once gave
promise of a fine future. At this young
age he is the victim of dope, and stands
as living example of the depths to
which drugs can bring a man in so short
a time.
All of his troubles began with cigarettes
He has been smoker from early child
hood. This, with bad associates, led him
into the use of cocaine and morphine,
which he is now taking in large doses.
Going on to further crime, about
month ago he was arrested, charged with
larceny. Judge Feagin let him out on
probation. under the charge of his mother,
but within a week he had run away to
Montgomery. 1t was not long before
Judge Thomas of the Montgomery police
court, had him him up for a felony, and
he was seen to have gone completely in
sane.
Hearing of his condition Judge Feagin
managed to secure a place for him at
the aswlum and yesterday received let
ter from Dr. Searcy that he could be
accommodated While everything posi-
BILE will be done for him, the arrange
ments at Tuscaloosa for treating dope
fiends and inebrfates are entirely made
uuate The case serves as an example
to young men and of the need of a
special building for inebriates at the asy-
lum for which a bill has been introduced
in the present legislature.

ARCHITECT TALKS
OF STAMFORD WHITE
THE MAN WHO DESIGNED A Lo-
CAL CHURCH SPENT SEVERAL
YEARS IN THE OFFICE OF THE
MAN KILLED BY HARRY THAW.

William Warren of the Warren & Vel
ton. architects was for several years in
the office with Stanford White. who was
killed by Harry Thaw The trial in New
York now is attracting more attention
than any other in American criminal his
tory.
Mr.. Warren drew the plans for the
Southside Baptist church. which will be
built in the triangle formed by Cotton
wood avenue, Eleventh avenue and Nine
tenth street and they are somewhat sim
liar In many ways To Whites plans for
the Parkhurst church In New York. This
is especially true of the pulpit, and tie
arrangement for the organ. one-half Of
which is on one side of the pulpit and the
other half on the other side.
The dome and arch effect that will be
used In the Southside church are similar
in many ways to that in the ParlShurst
church.
Mr.. Warren stated recently That he
knew nothing OF the social side of White s
life. but that undoubtedly he was one OF
the greatest genuses in his line of work
of the present age. lie has a number OF
books showing interiors, buildings and va
rious architectural effects done by White,
and he states that some of them are with
out doubt the finest of their kind.

JURY IN JOST CASE
MAKES A NISTUIAL
AFTER TWO DAYS AND NIGHTS
THE BALLOT STANDS SEVEN
FOR AcoUlTTAL AND FOUR FOR
CONVICTION.

After being out nearly forty-eight hours
celebrating, the jury failed to agree to
a verdict in the case of George Jost.
who was tried last week in the criminal
court for the murder of Robert Hamilton.
At o'clock yesterday evening the jury
went to the court house and announced
that there was no prospect of agreeing
to a verdict The foreman stated that
the last ballot. taken about an hour pre-
viously, was identical with the first taken
when they entered the jury room.
The solicitor and the attorneys for the
defense concluded there was no further
use in holding the jury and Judge Weaver
was of the same opinion. The jury was
accordingly discharged with the thanks
of the court for their services.
The offense with which George Jost is
charged occurred on November last
year. The evidence in the case showed
that Jost shot and killed Robert Hamil-
ton, a constable of North Birmingham
and that there had been previous DIFF
ficulty between the parties, in which Jost
was badly beaten about the head by the
deceased. who used a pistol as a weapon
to inflict the injuries. There was testi
mony to the effect that on the day OF
the killing Hamilton was looking for
Jost, and that Jost went to his home. IL
was while there that Jost fired the shot
which killed Hamilton, who was in
buggy. Witnesses testified That the
tracks made by the buggy wheels turned
from the center of the road and drew in
close towards Jost's house.
Upon this point and several other I'M
portant points in the case there was
decided conflict in the evidence, and the
effect was shown by the way the jury
stood, which, It is stated, was seven for
acuuital, three for murder In the second
degree and two for murder In the first
degree.
The case will be reset and tried again
about April.

1t would connect with the Twenty

with the Twenty street bridge
making it possible for people to pass
from one bridge to another 1t is stated
that this plan would make it possible
for people driving or walking to go out
on either of the bridges and get down
to Morris avenue without any difficulty,
and would be great convenience. The
cost, it is estimated, would be nominal.
Anyone wishing to go up Morris ave

of walking along the pavements on that

was not practicable as the merchants
along the avenue have customers COM

The matter of building an overhead side
walk on Morris avenue from Twentieth
street to Twenty-second street has been
suggested by City Engineer Kendrick
ana is receiving much commentator from
a number of sources.
Mr.. Hendricks idea is to relieve the
present congested condition of Morris ave-
nue., due to the narrowness of the street
and the fact that the wholesale houses
have to use so much of the sidewalk and
street in their business.
1t is stated that such sidewalk would
not interfere with any building on Morris
avenue, but would tend to enhance the
value of the property. 1t would make
the second story of all these buildings
available for office purposes or for sales
rooms for drummers or similar uses.
The sidewalk would be connected with
the regular sidewalk at each corner by
spiral stalrways, which would not occupy

RAILROAD WORLD.

The interstate commerce commission has
Issued a circular in regard to the filing of
freight tariffs that has dropped like a
Russian bomb in the center of the rail-
road mems camp.
Notice was received yesterday of the
action of the commission, and the freight
men all FASTENED to a big conference in
Atlanta last night on the subject. The
high freight traffic officials of all the
roads are hurTying to confer on the best
methods of complying with the orders of
the commission.
There are a number of clauses to the
circular which was issued, but the two
which play havoc with the railroads say
that in the future all tariffs must be
printed and that there shall be only one
supplement to each tariff.
Under the old conditions the railroads
Autographed their tariffs, saving them
)elves an enormous printing bill, and there
were as high as several hundred supple
ments to some of the tariffs.
Crepe was hung over the door of all
the local offices of the Seaboard yester-
day in memory of the late President Al
fred Walter, who died Monday.
Instructions were received from the
heads of the various departments of the
seaboard that the crepe should be dis
played, and 1t was hung here in compliance
with that order.
Mr.. Walter had visited Birmingham
twice. His first visit was just previous
to his election as president to succeed
D. M Barr. and he also paid one visit
10 Birmingham after his election.
1t is generally believed in railroad cir
rles that w. A. Garrett, first vice presi-
hent and general manager, will succeed
Mr. Walter, although as yet there is
nothing known in regard to the matter.
Mr.. Garrett went with the Seaboard re-
rently to have entire charge of the prop
hrties and to develop them, and he had
tnaugurated a number of improvements
that are to be completed as rapidly as
possible, which will put the road in first
glass shape.
D. W. Lum, chief engineer of mainten-
enee of way of the Southern, arrived in
Birmingham yesterday, and will probably
be in the district for several days.
Circulars were received yesterday an
bouncing that w. N. Deuel., formerly SUI

MEN HAVE KICK
Getting Together to Oppose Proposed
State Tax On Sellers of
Soft Drinks.

The druggists and the people operating
soda water fountains in Alabama are in
teresting themselves in preventing the
passage of bin which has been intro
duced into the legislature seeking to levy
a special tax on them.
The bill provides for a tax of from
$40 to $50 on every soda fountain where
coca cola and other soft drinks are sold.
and 1t is stated that this would cost the
