Birmingham for 1909," will be the slogan with which the Alabama dele gation of the Travellers Protective as- sociation will be armed when it leaves for Milwaukee, Wis, tomorrow morn ing to attend the national convention. It is strongly believed that Birming hams successful record in securing na tional conventions will again be ex- emplified in this case.
 Birmingham has proven itself capa- ble of entertaining the greatest of con ventions, notably the 1908 reunion Of the United Confederate Veterans. The Travellers Protective association has nearly 1000 delegates, while the mum Der of visitors which 1t will bring will number many thousand more.
 The entire Alabama delegation will pull for Birmingha am, and every man on the delegation bears the reputaticu of being "persuader" of 24-carat quai ity. Standing back of the Alabama branch of the association is the Com

resulting in Miller stabbing him with a knife. Rainbow died from the wounds d few hours afterward.
 After stabbing Rainbow, Miller ran out upon Twentieth street with the knife Tn his hand The crowd scattered at first. but after he had gone half a block he was captured.
 Miller showed no emotion when advised as to the confirmation of his death sen tence by the supreme court. He has been unusually cheerful during his incarcera- tion in the county jail, and this condition was not changed when he received news of the supreme courts action.
 It is said that friends of Rainbow are circulating petition requesting the gov ernor not to intervene, but to allow the decision of the criminal court of Jeffer- son county and the supreme court of the state to stand. It is also understood that others will get up a counter petition, many persons expressing the opinion that Miller should not receive the death pen- atty, as he was drinking and had pur- chased drinks in the Senate saloon, and also that Rainbow had come from be- hind the bar.

 Probably no other convention will re suit in such advertising for the city in which it is held as that of the Travel CTS Protective association. Every member of it in these United States is a travelling man or man connecte l with some large wholesale house. These men know how to appreciate hearty welcome and as this is the kind which Birmingham always extends to it's visi- tors, the value to be received by the Magic City from the holding of their national convention here can easily bs recognized.
 Birmingham men on the Alabama delegation are Capt. Frank P. O'Brien S. P. Moore, Joseph Zinser and R. V. Mabry. Mobile Montgomery, Demopo- lis, Selma, Annston, Huntsville and many other places will be represented in the Alabama crowd.
