THINKS NEGRO
 IS HENRY KING
William DonnelI, Who Was With Off, cer Bennett When Killed, Believes
 Right Man Is Caught.

Former Officer William Donnell called at the office of Chief Bodeker yesterday to look at the pictures of the man being held in Trinidad, Col, sus- pected of being Henry King, who mui dered Patrolman Mullin of the Bir- mingham police force in 1904 and who is also charged with the murder of Officer Bennett at Ensley a short time prior to the shooting of Officer Mul- lin.
 Mr. Donnell stated that he was with Officer Bennett at the time he was killed at Ensley. He examined the photograph which Chief Bodeker holds and states that he believes it is the picture of Henry King. Several other parties who knew King have exam med the photograph and stated their belief that the Colorado authorities have the Henry King wanted here.
 Chief Bodeker will wait few days longer, however, before he acts definite ly with reference to the negro being held in Trinidad.

Five Men Yesterday Given Total of $450 and 720 Days In

Clemency is not Forthcoming from the Already there are several men who were arrested either for gaming or selling whisky and who were unable to make ap- peal bonds who now wear three steel links between, and iron bracelets on, their ankles, and who are engaged in assisting the remainder of the street cleaning de- partment in brushing up the city. In Other words violators of the law are be- ing handled strictly without gloves, and where they are una ble to make the neces- sary' appeal bonds their services are be- ing utilized by the city of Birmingham.
 The police court resounded yesterday with the walls of tigers who are alleged to have been purring about the streets of the city for some time past. Judge Fea- gin assessed fines to the amount of $450 and sentences amounting to 720 days yes- terday upon alleged violators of the pro- hibition law, inflicting the limit of the law-$90 and 1SO days-upon each Those who faced "his honor were A. Hudgins, Willie Smith, Walter Butler, John Cole and J. H. Shorter. There is one similar case pending on the docket.
 Within the past three weeks Officers Burge and Parker, who have been special ly detailed on the work by Chief Bodeker. have captured large number of tigers, and there has been but one acquittal. Special officers detailed to run down men following the gambling profession have also done good work

BYARS IS ARRESTED FOR SMITH MURDER Alfred F. Smith, a Brother, Swears Out Warrant THE TWO WERE POLICEMEN Byars Claimed Unknown Man Fired Upon Both, Killing Smith and
 Shooting Byars In
 the Leg.
THE TWO WERE POLICEMEN

The aftermath of the sensational shooting of Police Officer W. A. Smith has taken a new, though not alto gether unexpected, turn. Officer J. ]. Byars. who was with Officer Smith at the time he met his tragic death, was committed to the county jail yester- day on a warrant sworn out before Judge l. H. Benners by Alfred F. Smith. one of the four brothers of the deceased officer The warrant upon which Byars is being held charges murder.
 It will be recalled that Officer Smith was mysteriously shot on Avenue E between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. and the matter has never been cleared in the minds of a great many. Officer Byars claims that he and Smith were walking down Avenue E when they met man whom they attempted to halt, and that when they did so he drew a pistol. shot Officer Smith down.
  Several witnesses, when an investiga- tion was held. testified that they saw a man in light overcoat run down the sidewalk with Officer Byars close at his heels. Beyond this there was little vital testimony.
 The circumstances of the death of Officer Smith caused a great many to suspect officer Byars, but the coroners jury freed him of all suspicion in. the eyes of the law. Following this action the brothers of the deceased officer de- manded another investigation on the ground that the coroners jury was composed principally of officers, and al. Byars' friends. Immediately after their letter was placed in the hands of the auth critics Coroner Paris left for Flor ida and no action was taken in the matter.
 At the time there was some talk of a warrant being sworn out for Off, ficer Byars, but it was not issued un- til yesterday morning. It was placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Newt Curl for execution, and as soon as this was done Chief Bodeker was notified to instruct Officer Byars that the sher- if held a warrant for his arrest. This was done and MT. Byars immediately went to the sheriff's office, surren- dered himself and was placed in the county jail.
 When seen at the jail by represen- tative of The Age Herald yesterday afternoon and asked for statement Officer Byars said: My friend, just say that I feel that I have been greatly humiliated and wrongfully and unjust " treated. I am being persecuted.
 It is probable that MT. Byars will be given a preliminary hearing before Judge Benners Friday.

YOUNG MAN HIT
 BY AUTOMOBILE.
SON OF GEORGE H. DENT STRUCK ON FOURTH AVENUE AS HE ALIGHTs FROM cAR-No BONES BROKEN.

The son of George H. Dent 1205 Elev- enth avenue, south, was knocked down by an automobile belonging to J. ". Don- nelly on Eleventh avenue, south at an early hour last night. He was able to walk to his home, which was nearby, but the extent of his injuries cannot be de- termined until today. It is not thought. however, that any of his bones were broken.
 It appears that Young Dent had just alighted from a car at Eleventh avenue and Twelfth street as the automobile came along. MT. Donnelly was not in the machine, which contained several ladies, and was being driven by the chauffeur. From all accounts the car did not stop, simply stacking up the chauffeur evidently thinking he could pass all right Dent jumped off the car and passed around it to the other side, the automobile striking him as he did so.
 Dent, while having no bones broken, was badly bruised and will probably be laid up for few days. The chauffeur att tempted to stop his machine but the dis tance was too short.

.PARLOR RIFLES ARE SOURCE OF DANGER Several Serious Accidents Re-
 ported Recently GIVEN TO BOYS AS TOYS Further Accidents Are Feared As Re- suit of Promiscuous Shooting.
 Red Mountain Is Scene of
 Especial Fears.
GIVEN TO BOYS AS TOYS

With the advent of spring and pleas have been placed in the hands of hun dreds of boys in Birmingham as a toy for their amusement. In most cases these little rifles seem to have been given to children by parents under the impress sion that they are harmless.
 That they are not harmless is shown by several serious accidents which have been recorded during the past few days. Last Saturday, near Highland avenue one young boy Il years old shot another boy about his own age through the leg just below the hip. infiicting quite a se- rious wound The injured boy was taken to the Davis infirmary and is now getting along very well.
 Yesterday afternoon a young man 20 years old, named Lawrence Sly, was brought to the Davis inirmary from Car bon Hill, shot by parlor rifle of the same "BB" or .22 calibre size He was out with a young friend and was more than 100 yards distant when the rife went off accidentally and struck him between the shoulders and the ball fractured one of the bones of the spinal column, just below the neck and cut a part of the spinal cord.
 This young man Is in a desperate con- dition and physicians who operated upon him last night at 8 o'clock were fearful of fatal results.
 Several other similar cases have been reported during the past few weeks. There has been so much agitation in Birmingham against the carrying of ps- tols that it is believed parents have gen. erally been impressed with the belief that the little rifles are practically harm less. Any nice afternoon Red Mountain is alive with bo.s shooting these rifles and many in that section have expressed themselves as fearful that further acci- dents will be recorded.
 It is pointed out that the law against such shootin- should be rigidly enforced and that parents should be very cautious about placing the so-called harmless weapons in the hands of their children.
