HARALsoN TRIAL HEARD.
Is Charged With Killing Grover Rich
 ardson In Bessemer.

The testimony of Lillie Hicks in the trial of Charles Haralson, before Judge Nesmith in the first division of the crim- inal court yesterday, if accepted by the jury, would no doubt prove very disas- trous to tine defendant. Lillie Hicks is the octaroon in whose house Grover Richard son was killed several months ago. The Hicks woman lives at Bessemer.
 Haralson, the defendant Is charged with the murder of Richardson. The testimony of the Hicks woman was to the effect that she purchased set of curtains and that Richardson delivered them on Fri day. Shortly afterward, she states, Har- alson came in and wanted to know what the bundle contained and opened the pack age. She says that when Haralson saw the sale ticket he said, "He knew who had been there"
 On Saturday night it seems, Richardson went to the house to collect for the cur tains, and had just received the money when Haralson walked in. When he saw Richardson it Is said that he uttered an oath, drew his gun and fired upon Rich ardson, killing him. The woman said she jumped out of the window and hid in the weeds until Haralson left
 The defense offered number of wit nesses who testified as to Haralson's good character, among whom was the arresting officer.
 The case was placed in the hands of the jury shortly before court adjourned yes- terday afternoon but no verdict was agreed upon. The jury retired about 10 o'clock.

WANTS CORRECT
 FLAGS TO BE USED
MlCKLE CALLS ATTENTION TO FACT THAT CONFEDERATE BAT TILE FLAG IS SQUARE" AND NOT oBLoNG, AS USUALLY MADE.

Adjutant General William tS. Mickle' United Confederate Veterans, has ad- dressed a communication to the execu- tive committee in charge of the arrange ments of the Confederate reunion, to be held here June 9, 10 and Il, requesting that no Confederate flags be used in decorating other than those which are historically correct He calls particular attention to the shape of the battle flag. which is square and not oblong, as it is often manufactured.
 The letter in part is as follows:
 T hand you herewith a copy of gen. eral orders No. 56 from these headquar- ters. This is one of the most important documents that has ever emanated from the United Confederate veterans.
 Your attention is particularly directed to the last section of the order, wherein all concerned are urged to make use of only those flags which properly represent the flags of the Confederacy.
 ''In all decorations it has been the custom in the past to use the battle flag as it was the one for which the old veterans gave most-the one under which they fought and suffered. You will note in the illustration that this flag is square and not oblong. There has been no square flag up to this reunion Qf there is now) and some think that no battle flag should be used as a decoration unless it conform to the truth. There are other flags that can be made use of, but till the reunion cities refuse to buy these wrongly made flags they will be put on the market"

RLYTON TO VOTE ON
 SCHOOL BOND ISSUE
TOWN WANTS TO GET EVERY THING IN SHlP-SHAPE BEFORE TAKEN IN BY BlRMINGHAM-R CENT IMPROVEMENTS.

Elyton is to have s75,OOO school bond the election will be practically unani- nous.
 we are endeavoring to get Elyton in good shape before we come into Greater Birmingham" said Mayor Frank Smith last night. "The Board of Aldermen are very much interested in the improvement of our town, and we want to be on an equal footing with all the other parts of Greater Birmingham when we are roped in''
 Although this little corporation is many years older than Birmingham it has been incorporated less than year. But what it lacks in age as a municipality it Is fast making up in municipal improve ment, and by the time Greater Birming- ham goes into effect this part of the greater city will be one of the best im- proved parts of it.
 General opinion among the citizens of Elyton is that in their Board of Alder men they have a rattling good organiza- .tion. It is composed of shrewd men who are determined to make a real sure 
 volunteer fire department has been organized and an order placed for two hand reels and 1000 feet of hose. This order was placed several months ago, but the reels and hose have not been shipped on account of there being no plugs in the town. The water works company has had the question of a franchise on all the streets and avenues up with the Board of Aldermen there since January 1, ap- plication being made for a 35-year grant.
 In return for this grant the company has offered to install seven plugs free of charge at the present time. But the board doesn't believe in giving away such valuable grants, and declined the generous offer
 Ten arc lights have been installed, Ely ton paying the electric light company the same rate as Birmingham, $75 per year. The question of a sewerage system will also probably be taken up in very short while

TWO MEN ON TRIAL,
Joe Lively and Hack Daniel Are
 Charged With Killing Whitner.

The case of Joe Lively and Hack Daniel, the alleged slayers of Willis A. Whitner, was tried before Judge A. c. Howze in the first division of the criminal court yesterday afternoon. The court had some trouble getting into the case on account of the fact that the jury list was ex- hausted, and the judge was forced to draw names from the jury box. The case was taken up at the afternoon session of the court, however.
 Lively and Daniel were indicted in the fall of 1904 for the murder of Whtner in the vicinity of Coalburg during the min CTS strike that was on in the district for a long time. The case gained some noto- riety at the time as the "scarecrow' case, and arose from supposed troubles between the union and non union miners in one of the camps near Coalburg.
 A third man, William Y. Mann, was in- dicted in the same affair, but the case against him was nolle pressed.
 Judge Howze turned the case over to the jury the last thing before court ad- journed yesterday, but no verdict was reached last night.

WANTS TO AROUSE
 GENERAL INTEREST
Fox Thinks River and Harbor Inn provements Should Be According
 To Harmonious Plan.

In conhection with tine visit of John A. Fox to Birmingham, letter has been received by Secretary Joseph B. Babb of the Commercial club from T. G. Bush, stating that MT. Fox would be here on March ?. Arrangements have not yet been made for his entertainment, but he will probably address a gathering of the Com interested in waterway improvement at a meeting in the club rooms.
 MT. Fox is regarded as being one of the best authorities in the country on this subject, and his visit will be awaited with interest by the many persons here who are anxious to see Birmingham get a waterway to the sea. It was largely due to the efforts of MT. Fox that the national congress on rivers and harbors was held in Washington last December.
 At dinner given by the Atlanta Cham Der of Commerce last Monday, MT. Fox expressed himself thoroughly on the sub ject. He is travelling through the south, visiting every city interested in the im- provement of waterways, and in stating his plans at this dinner he said in part:
 My object in making the detailed tour of every state is to secure the co-opera- tion of the business interests in establish ing national policy of waterway devel- opment upon new lines. Heretofore the work undertaken by the national gov ernment in improving our rivers and har- bors has not been systematic, nor has 1t been productive of satisfactory results"
 Continuing, he said What we need now is a national policy that will lead to the immediate and systematic improve ment of all our rivers and the reepening of our worthy seaports to a uniform depth This work can be accomplished by the expenditure of about $500, ,00O,OOO, If such a sum can be made available to prosecute the work on the various enter prises until completed. In order to have such policy adopted so that this may be a great national undertaking, unhampered by politics, and unrestricted by local jeal- ouses or projects it is going to be neces- sary to educate the entire Americain peo- pie to the merits of such an undertaking to arouse public sentiment generally and provoke such wave of sentiment as will cause Congress to act in the matter just as it has acted concerning the reclamation service or the Panama canal"

 Work on the reunion is progressing rap idly, and Secretary Babb of the Conner eial club, together with a large office force is working night and day in an effort to keep abreast with the details which are accumulating with a remarkable rapid ity.
 The executive and finance committees are also keeping very busy, holding meet inGs two or three times a week. These committees are also divided into sub-com- m1ttees, which are kept busily engaged. The enthusiastic manner in which the members of both committees are working to make the reunion a success in every way proves conelusively that Birmingham is full of civic pride which can't be downed
