 According to the report received at office headquarters yesterday morning, 1t seems that Mrs. Schultz was walking ID Twenty-first street when the negro stepped up from behind and snatchad her pocketbook. He fled down Fifth alley to Twentieth street, where several men got in behind him, and then down to Nineteenth street. It seems that Dr. Duncan was walking along Nineteenth street as the negro ran out of the alley, and as he stepped into the course If flight the negro struck him with a pair of knucks as he ran by.
 The negro then continued his course down Fifth alley and eluded his pursuers among the negro houses in Fifth alley between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets.

HOTEL GORDON IS BUILT FOR COMFORT Veterans Entertained Free At
 the Fairgrounds HUNDREDS OF COTS READY Eighteen Hundred Can Be Seated In the Dining Hall at One Time.
 Buildings All Large
 and Airy.
HUNDREDS OF COTS READY

Hotel Gordon, the place at the fair grounds. where the grey hosts will be en- tained is now in readiness for that great and noble army whose approaching foot steps can be heard throughout Dixie. To- morrow the advance guard will light their biyouac fires at Fairview, and the great encampment will begin.
 Several visitors and citizens of Birming- ham went out to the Fair grounds yes terday to take last look at the prepara- tions and to see if the work had been finished before the arrival of the veterans. The sight that met their eyes was a great one. All of the buildings have been con- verted into one large hotel In the main exhibit building hundreds of cots and mat tresses have been placed and are covered with white sheets to serve as sleeping quarters for the veterans. On the ground floor cots were used entirely, while on the second floor mattresses have been laid. While the floor is covered, the build
 ing is so made that there is no appear ance of cramped quarters, and the win dows are open, giving plenty of fresh ar.
 One of the smaller buildings has been changed into a hospital, and while the rdngement committee hopes that 1t will not be used, they have nevertheless pre- pared for an emergency. Twelve cots have been placed in a well-aired spot, enclosed with curtains and a trained nurse will be in constant attendance on the patients. Arrangements have been made whereby anyone who IS seriously ill will be taken to the Hilman hospital
 Ina. ha11 fc tl,a 1or stand. Two tables running the entire length of the hall have been made and several smaller ones have been placed in the vacant places The tables will &C., commodate about 1900 men at one time. In most such places the diners have been forced to stand while, they ate, but this year seats have also been made. This is expected to greatly add to the comfort of the veterans Geo. Gorff, a Confederate veteran, is in charge of the dining hall. Ample arrangements for cooking have been made in the small building on the south side of the grand stand.
 In all of the buildings. benches have been placed for the disposal of the old soldiers and they may sit on these with their comrades and once more tell stories of the ante-belum days and describe their adventures during the war.
 Capt. J. F. Mclaughlin, the newly elected commander of Capm Hardee, in speaking of the arrangements said: "I believe that we are now ready to receive the 'Confeds' into our midst. l have just been over all the buildings and I found that everything was in readiness for their entertaintnent. l have attended a great many reSnions, but l think that we better prepared than ever before and will show the dear old boys the time of tieir lives"

 ESZEEM OF POLICE CHIEFS

Birmingham was the second choice of the delegates to the convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police of the United States and Canada for the convention of chiefs in 1909, and Chief Bodeker, who returned from De- troit Sunday morning, states that the Magic City lost the convention only by a very small vote.
