RESIDENCE ROBBED
BURGLARS BREAK INTO CRAMER
 AVENUE RESIDENCE.
Branae Hood Returning After short walk With Wife Findm Back
 Door of House Brok.

Returning after a short walk late Saturday afternoon with his wife. Brame Hood discovered that the back door of his residence on Cramer Ave nue between South Hull and McDon- ough streets had been kicked open and the house thoroughly burgIariSed.
 A systematic canvass was ifnmed : lately begun with the result that a purse, gold watch belonging to Mrs. Hood. and a revolver were found to be missing. Report of the matter was at once made to Police Headquarters, and the police began their search for the thief. All the jewelry shops and pawn shops of the city were notified and given description of the missing articles.
 News of the robbery became circu- lated among the members of the fami- ly, and Mrs. Hoods brother suddenly bethought himself of a transaction which he had made with a negro late Saturday evening at Dreher's JtweIry Store. The watch was brought to the light and Mir. Jones turned the watch over to his sister with a smile. Mir. Jones said that the negro had come in- to the store and that he had waited upon him. Little thinking that he was bargaining for his sisters property.
 The revolver and purse have not as yet been discovered, but 1t Is thought that before many days elapse the thief will be behind the bars of a cell at police headquarters.

Ben Edwards Robbed ThonsHs'a Store Wednesday, Night, But Was
 Caught in the Second

AAHGmRk.
 Arrested Saturday night hy ofncers Canty and Shirley on 8 charge of bur glary and grand larceny. Ben Edwards. a negro, was yesterday proven to have been implicated in the robbery of the storehouse of D. T. Thomas. 93B North Decatur Street. which occurred last Wednesday night.
 It was his attempt to burglarize the same store Saturday night which led to his arrest. With Ben 1t was a case of too much success. The police were Informed of the burglary of Wednesday night, but had no proof to the evil doers until the arrest of Ben gave them light upon the subject which identified him as instrumental in the previous robber also.
 Tn his first visit to the storehouse of Thomas, Ben obtained TO cents worth of butter and milk. That quantity evil dently did not suffice for the week end house party which Ben was then giv- ing. SO a second raid became a matter of necessity. Thus 1t was that Satur- day night Ben, armed with a shingling hatchet, attempted to enter the back door of the store.
 officers Canty and Shirley, who were not invited to Ben's house party. in- vited Ben to partake of the fare offered to members of weekend parties at police headquarters. Ben. therefore, iankuishes in a cell waiting to tell the Recorder just how the thing happened and also to mourn over the disappoint- ment which must have resulted at his own house party over his failure to return with more butter and milk.

STRIKE SITUATION
 IS AT ITS CRISIS

and the wounding of some of the depu- ties near Blocton. unquestionably done m aid or the strike. calls not only for most energetic measures by the au- thoritfes. but should call forth con- certed measure to arouse the public sentiment of the State. and particular " n Birmingham against the lawless- ness in the mineral region. Our peo- pl are not like the people of Colorado. who submitted to a reign of anarchy Tor months before they dealt with the Western Federation of Miners. Bloc ton and vicinity have a most lawless set of miners. In 1894. a mob of about thousand said trains should not run. took train porter and brake man of the train to make an example and Kathered In large numbers to do the same thing next day.
 The railroad officials wanted a train load of soldiers sent that night. The military authorities declined to send out the troops except In daylight .af- ter the tracks had been patrolled and other precautions taken to prevent am. buscade. A crack battalion of the 1st Regiment with the gatling guns of the Montgomery battery. were sent at day. light, under determined officer. and with orders from the governor, so 1t was said "to shoot. if he got fair moral opportunity" The mob was or- dered to disperse at once and not to delay an instant If they did not want lead. They left at once.
 They held mass meetings and bitter ly denounced the Governor. just as they are doing now, but they behaved ever afterwards. What had as much. if not more influence than the soldiers. in finally breaking up that strike. was the sentiment of the people against the strike. and the people of Birmingham. c. lA v,atv 4fnaf1u arousing themselves. held meetings formed companies and pledged their support to the authorities. The Gov ernor in the beginning had aroused public opinion in proclamation, call ed on magistrates to aid. and advised impeachment of those who failed to help to keep the peace. The State had skilled detectives from abroad who kept the authorities fully advised. Int lawless leaders became frightened. They saw from the movement of troops. that their plans were known. Every time an outrage was committed the Governor offered the highest reward permitted by law for the apprehension of the perpetrators. The lawless saw an officer in every bush" The people sustained their Governor then, and they will sustain the Governor now. in taking every measure the laws permit. to stamp out the dynamiters, bomb throwers, and murderers. Let the Gov ernor put the whole National Guard on the grounds at once. It may be ex- pensive. but 1t will save money in the long run. "A stitch in time saves nine" The writer saw the parade of the whole of the National Guard at Birmingham one July morning. 1t struck more terror to the hearts of the lawiess than the actual execution of some of them would have done.
