JURY PAYS FINE
AFTER CONVICTION
FINDS A MAN GUILTY OF MAN
SLAUGHTER AND TAKES UP A
COLLECTION TO PAY OLD FINE
STANDING AGAINST HIM.

George Goddard was found guilty of
manslaughter in the first division of the
city court yesterday and sentenced to
eight months and thirteen days.
The charge against Goddard was for
beating a convict in Pratt Mines so Sc
verely that it caused his death. Goddard
was himself a convict and had been madI
boss over several other eonvicts 1t ap-
peared that several of the conyicts had
been beaten, one of them being so badly
injured that he could not move out of
the mine and remained there all night.
While it was admitted that Goddard had
punished the men. there was some doubt
as to his having inflicted all of their
wounds
Goddard broke down when the verdict
was pronounced and while being led
through the corridor of the courthouse
almost tainted. He still has some time
to serve on his old sentence. This time
is equal to SIC and the jury which found
him guilty yesterday Immediately took
up a subscription to pay this and sue

day.

CITY COMMITTEE WILL
MEET AFTER THE REUNION

Political rumors were in the air yes
terday. One rumor said that the city
democratic executive committee would
meet today, but investigation seems to
show that the committee will not meet
until about a week after the reunion. 1t
will, however, more than likely set the
campaign to going within two weeks.
An early date for the primary seems
popular. AS soon as the committee acts
a number of important candidates are
expected to announce. Hints are numer-
Gus that another man will be out Tor
Mayor. Two new men, John l.. Parker
and Harry Jones, are being urged to en-
ter for president of the council.

The block improvement idea was the
talk of the town yesterday. 1t is the
general opinion that no more appropriate
tine could be chosen to make Brming
ham really beautiful than the present.
A campaign to do ava with nuisances,
mend the little things and improve the
physical appearance of Birmingham,
hacked by the Mayor and the city Off
Gals, is expected to move things.
The citizens have their own street de-
Iartment ready at their back to help
them. By calling the Mayor they may
have street sweepngs hauled to their
places, may have all unsightly objects
removed, may have a neighboring empty
lot stripped of it's weeds and may remedy
Inany other evils.

avenue with your eyes open, as those

to the Terminal station, the vast need Of
this movement is realized. The good
work of some housewives will be almost
completely destroyed by the carelessness
of a neighbor. In many places the yards
are kept well, but the sidewalks are left
to ruin. Civic pride would give the en-
trance to Birmingham a pleasant ap-
pearance.
1t is claimed that the people on a
block do not know their neighbors, but
that is the very benefit to be derived.
by working together for their cty's pride
and beauty they will soon become neigh
borly. All that is needed in each block
is a leader.
The campaign gives industrious odd
Job men a fine chance to make extra
money. BY first making arrangements
with property owners they can secure

On Roadways.

New York, June 5.-Road records for
automobiles were broken today during
the races held in connection with the
subway opening celebration at Jamaica,
Long Island. One mile over a road was
covered in IS 3-5 seconds by car owned
by Harry Levery, and driven by Herman
Fitzpatrick. This was at the rate of 1926
miles an hour. The car driven by Kill
patrick was not the only one to eclipse
world figures for automobile racing on
roadways. Seven other cars bettered the
time honored mark of a mile in 81 AS Sec
onds made by Henry Fourier at Coney
Island on November &c. 1901. Car after
car improved upon the track record for
two miles four years ago, there being
no road figures for the distance. The best
time for two miles was made by Kirkpat-
