THE UNEQUAI.ED AMERICAN PAY ROLL.
By Secretary Corfelyou.

Victories Of commerce call for high
courage-courage to plan broadly for
the future, courage to stick to plan
steadfastly to the end. Pluck and per-
sistence are the inspiring attributes Of
American manhood, and they are typi-
fed in the American merchant.
No road Is too hard for the Ameri-
can business man to travel, no OBJ
stacle great enough to stop him 80 long
as he sees ahead something to be done.
Back of him, sharing in his successes
and not enyying him his tust rewarda

SECRET BURIAL
BETRAYS POSSIBILITY OF An
OTHER NIGHT RIDER DEATH.
MourDers Said Man Accidentally
Shot Himself, But Evade
az - Questions.

Frankfort, Ky, May 2S.-That
more than one man was killed in the
difficulty which resulted in the death
of Newt Hazelett in Shelby county
last Thursday night is the belief of
men who live in that section of
Shelby. Jack Estes, who lives near
the Franklin, owen and Henry coun-
~ lines, says he saw a man buried
last Friday. the day following the
trouble in Shelby county. Estes
story was about as follows:
II saw a party of men come from
Owen county with a dead man, who
was the brother of one of the men ac-
companying the corpse. They would
not talk about how the dead man
came to his death, but when pressed
for information said that the man had
shot himself accidentally. The whole
top of the mans head had been shot
away. He was buried in a country
graveyard near the place where
live"
Estes would not tell the name of
the man killed, but his story left the
impression that the man had been
killed during a raid by the night
riders, either by the night riders or
by some one who was on the other
side of the question. The neighbors
of the dead man, Estes is quoted as

Quite a surprise was sprung on the
members of the Baptist church at
prayer meeting services, when Mr..
Frank Brooks, one of the officers OF
the church, arose and read a commun-
ication from the pastor. Rev A. S.
Petite. in which he offered his resig-
nation as pastor of this church, to
take effect October 1, 1908. On mo.
ton and second the action of the
church was deferred until next Tues
day night on the acceptance or rejcc-
ton of the pastor. In his letter or
rejection the pastor said in all, he had
labored about fourteen years for this
church. and that he believed II would
be better for all concerned to have a
change in pastors II was not stated
where he would likely go from here,

HEAVY BATCH OF DESERTERS WANTED

If some lucky man could but catch all of the men whose assertions from Uncle Sam's army have been reported through circulars to the local police department during the past three months he could become rich.
 On the detectives file at police head quarters there is a stack of posters. bear ing the photographs and descriptions of deserters fully six inches thick. There are within the neighborhood of 300 of these posters, the like of which have been scattered broadcast from one end of the country to the other, and for every man whose name is printed on one of them the government offers $50 for his re- turn to the army post specified. Railroad fare is also provided.
 The circulars bear the photographs of men representing every state in the union. Some of them appear to be little more than boys, tender and refined Others are middled-aged men with hardened features. The file holding the circulars is subject to almost continual examina- tion. The police officers look 1t over daily and are ever on the alert for the re- wards Several of the deserters have been captured in and around Birmingham within the past two or three months.

Federal Building Is All Eyes and Ears for Developments
 In the Controversy
JUDGE HUNDLEY LEFT FOR
 WASHINGTON SATURDAY
Judge Jones Will Probably Reappolnr Birch Referee In Bankruptcy While Here, Giving Him Half of
 the Cases.

The developments in the Hundley-J Jones controversy are becoming more than in teresting. The announcement made by Judge Jones yesterday that he would open court in Birmingham this morning for a two-weeks' term came somewhat as a surprise, though some turn of the kind had been expected since the announce ment of the decision of the United States court of appeals.
 It will be remembered that Judge Pardee some time ago appointed Judge Hundley to try some special cases in Florida, and instructed Judge Shepherd of Florida to fill Judge Hundley's seat during the term which opens today.
 Judge Hundey finished his docket in Florida a week ago, spent the past week in Birmingham and left Saturday night for Washington, where he will be in con- ference with the President on the question of his reappointment, and the delayed ratification by the Senate. Before leaving he was aware that some step would be carried out in his absence.
 Saturday Judge Jones, in conference with Judge Shepherd over the telephone, advised him not to come to Birmingham, stating that he would preside over the session. Judge Shepherd wired to Bir- mingham that since his coming would only cause conflict he would remain at home.
 In the minds of some there is doubt of authority for this change in Judge Par 6ee's plans, and the court of appeals judge may take 6 hand in the matter. How ever Judge Jones will open court this morning and will carry on court without any opposition.
 He is expected while here to appoint Alex Birch referee in bankruptcy and as sign to him al. the odd cases.
 There is room for many interesting de- velopments. Judge Jones may assign all the cases to Birch. He may remove MT. Steele When Judge Hundley left for Washington he did not hint at the length of his absence. He may return and change the face of things. People around the federal building are all eyes and ears for every new turn in the situation.

TWO BOYS ARE
 STILL MISSING
ABOUT $1ooo IN MONEY IS ALSO MISSING AT JUGToWN-cASE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE POLICE.

The police are now watching for two runaway boys, barely in their teens, who are charged with the larceny of about 5000 in money and bank notes worth in the neighborhood of $500. So far, how ever, they have absolutely no idea or clew as to the youngsters whereabouts, or whether or not they have left Birming- ham for other parts.
 It was reported at police headquarters yesterday afternoon by relatives of Oliver Ezekiel, aged b years, and Ambus Jones, aged IA years, both white boys. were missing from their homes and at tho same time the money and bank notes are said to be missing.
 The money was taken from the home of the Ezekiel boys father at Jugtown, beyond Mary Lee mines, during Satur- day night and Sunday both young Ezekiel and his running mate, Ambus Jones, were reported missing. They failed to show up at home during yesterday and up to late hour last night no report had been received from them.
 MT. Ezekiel, 1t is understood, is con- nected with the operation of the mines at Jugtown and is quite well known in the community.

BOYS REMAINS
 UNIDENTIFIED

While another person has claimed recog- milton of the remains of the boy who was accidentally killed in the railroad yards near Sloss furnace Friday night, no defin- ite identification of the deceased has yet been made.
 A lady residing on Twentyfifth street and Avenue F has called at the undertak- ing establishment of Shaw & Son to view the remains of the boy, and she states that the day before the accident she be- lleves the same boy called at her home and asked for something to eat. She states she asked the boy to come in the house and warm himself but says he told her he was used to the cold, having come from Michigan.
 It will be recalled that the negro who claimed that he recognized the boy stated that his home was in Michigan. The name of the deceased, however has never been definitely ascertained, and the remains are being held at the undertaking estab- lishment of Shaw & Son for identifica- ton.

Winter Rains Sebeze Test
 Or Ounfy's Weh Roads

The work of the old Board of Revenue is about to be put to the test. The first of the big winter rains came yesterday and a few more such downpours will de- termine the durability and the value of the extensive road work which was done last spring and summer.
 The winter rains have held off so long this time that series of storms is now expected, which, it is claimed. will put the roads to the severest test It will be remembered that last year September, October and November were very wet. and tore the already worn highway of the county all to pieces, leaving gulleys and mudholes everywhere.
 The outcry for improvement was loud. The rural mail carriers spoke in no weak terms of the conditions. The Board of Revenue got busy and nearly every road in the county was improved.
 The rural carriers have recently spoken in very high terms of the condition of all the roads. None of them has had any

Says If Extra Session Called He Will Respond to Request of Mass Meeting and Incorporate Commission

Gov. B. B. Conner, who arrived in the city Friday night, and will leave tomor- row on little trip, stated last night that as citizen of Birmingham he was deep ly interested in the mass meeting held Saturday night in the city hall.
 He considered the matter of municipal government an important one and worthy of the consideration of the legislature.
 If you call a special session of the leg islature this spring will you incorporate in the call the consideration of a change in the municipal government of Birming- ham?" he was asked.
 Certainly. If any mass meeting or body of representative men petition me to include matter in the call I see no req son why l should not do so,~ he replied. 'I am in sympathy with all that is for the good Of Birmingham, and if this mat ter is an issue it should be discussed"
