THE MYSTERY CROWS
BODY IN BIRMINGHAM STILL RE- - MAINS UNIDENTIFIED.
Telegram From Tallapoosa, Ga- Knocks Out Theory Remains Were Those of Joseph Garret--Coroner
 stffi Working.

Birmingham, Feb, 2s.-(speciaI )-- The mystery surrounding the murder of the unknown man who died In the hospital from injuries received at the hands of highwaymen, deepens as 1t is learned that the body is not that of Joseph Garret, coal miner. as was thought day or two ago.
 The GaudfW Company this morning received a telegram from Mrs. Martha Garret, of Tallapoosa Ga, announcing that she had located her son in Att lanta and that he was alive and well. A few days ago a man named Holmes looked at the dead body and said that he was certain that the mans was his cousin. Joseph Garret, and that his mother lived at Tallapoosa. Ga.
 A telegram was sent there and the reply dispeiled all hope to solving the mystery. The coroner is now somewhat discouraged in his prospects of having the man identified The man was found In an unconscious condition two weeks ago on Powell avenue and Nineteenth street near the business center of the city. There was evidence that the man had been robbed and then struck in the head with a blunt instrument.
 For several days 1t was given out that the man had been robbed in the Rcd Light District" and then placed in a hack and struck a severe blow. His assailants brought the man to- wards the center of the city and threw the prostrate form on the side walk to be picked up by policeman.
 The body has been identified three times now, each time the man named showing up.

New Railroad Extension.

T. r. Brooks, superintndent of the South and North divison of the Louis ville and Nashville railroad, and of the various mineral branches, went on special train today to inspect the new extension of the, North Alabama Railroad. in the western part of Jef- ferson county, the construction of which is about complete. The line ex- tends from Banner to beyond Warrior river and almost into Walker county.
 The line is now thirty-fiye miles long and will reach large bodies of undeyeloped coal lands. The Pratt Con- solidated Coal Company is opening a large number of new mines and will furnish a heavy traffic to the new road. Because of the rough country through which the new road goes. the contractors had much trouble in the construction work, nearly two years being taken up in the building of fourteen miles.
 The Pratt Consolidated Coal Com pany will shortly double their daily output the new mines on the exten- sion being numerous and striking rich veins of coal. The North Alabama Rail- road is likely to be a nucleus of a line from Birmingham to Memphis.

EPISCOPAL BISHOPS PROTEST.
Their Objections to Military Features at
Jamestown Laid Before Senate.

Washington Feb. s-Senator Hale presented TO
the Senate to-day protest from a number of
bishops OF the Episcopal Church against the mill
tary features OF the approaching jamestown Expo
sition.
I'm common with many others, we have been sur
prised and blocked" they say. "at the transforma-
ton OF the programme, which has now gone so far
only too fully 10 warrant the announcement
which IS made that the exposition will be primarily
q military and naval celebration"
The opinion is expressed that the carrying out
of this programme "can only work immense mis-
chief to the world" and that 1t is calculated TO
stir up the fever Of military excitement and emu
lation in people at time when that IS pre-
cisely what we should all most earnestly cooperate
to discourage" The exatation OF tho military
features is denounced inconsistent with the
character of religions. with the character Of
proposed religious commemoration at jamestown;
incongruous with the historic event which is its
occasion: unworthy of this peaceful American Re-
public and gross anachronism at the time when
our nation is TO unite with the nations Of the world
elaboration in behalf OF the supplanting Of the
and worthy methods of international justice"
The protest is signed by the following bishops:
William n. MoVickar, of Rhode Island: Francis
Key Brooke, of Oklahoma and Indian Territory; Ell
lison Capers, Of South Carolina; Joseph Blount
Cheshire, of North Carolina; George De n. Giles
Asheviiie; William W. Niles OF New Hampshire;
Charles Sanford Olmsted. of Colorado: Arthur J..
williams, of Nebraska; Charles D. Williams, Of
Michigan, and Charles E. Woodcock. OF Kentucky.
