MEEHAN SUICIDE
 DENIED BY FRIENDS
CLAIM IS MADE THAT YOUNG FELL CITY MAN SHOT HIMSELF ACCIDENTALLY WHILE CHAT TING WITH HIS WIFE.

"The story appearing in some of the state papers few days ago to the effect that young James A. Meehan had com mitted suicide at Pell City a few days ago is an unfortunate error" said friend of the family who was in the city yesterday.
 "The fact is that there had never been any trouble between the young man and his wife, as has been reported, but they were on the best of terms. The couple had been to an ice cream festival last Friday night and had just returned home when the unfortunate accident occurred.
 MT. Meehan and his wife had just entered their bedroom after chatting a while with the formers mother, with whom they boarded After removing his coat Mrs. Meehan requested her husband to put away his pistol which was stick ing out of his hip pocket. He laughed at her apparent timidity and told her that the gun was on blank cartridges and harmless. He took the gun and in A laughing manner pointed it at his head and pulled the trigger. There was a re- port and MT. Meehan died in a few minutes.
 Before entering their room MT. Mee- han and wife sat for some time on the side of the bed occupied by the formers mother, who had already retired, and told her of the pleasant evening they had had at the festival. The young man also showed her a new horn that had been bought by the band of which he was a member. He blew a piece or two on 1t for her benefit and all three dis cussed the beauty of the Instrument in a pleasant manner.
 "The shooting occurred in not more than two minutes after the couple entered their room. The theory of suicide was never suggested in PeIl City and the pub lication of such story is a surprise to the people there.
 Young Meehan had lived in Pell City for a number of years and had the re- spect of everyone in the community. His untimely death is universally regretted. The remains were buried at Hanceville. his old home, yesterday"

 ENSLEY SCHOOLS Pupils Will Be Classified This
 Week FLOW WORKS RESUME Plant at Ensley Starts After Being Shut Down for Summer Months. Personal and General News
FLOW WORKS RESUME

Ensley, September 4-(Specia1 )-The Ensley public schools will open Monday, September H. Prof. R. N. Baker and his corp of assistants are on hand, and are formulating and perfecting the plans and arrangements for the opening.
 Next Thursday and Friday, September r and IS, the principals of the schools will be at their respective school build- ings for the purpose of examining and classifying the new pupils and examining those who were conditioned last session.
 Parents and guardians of prospective pupils are urged to have their children present on the above dates, so that there will be no delay on the opening day of the schools.
 All the pupils who were classified last year can get printed lists of text books at the time and place mentioned above to enable them to avoid the rush that will necessarily occur on the date the schools open, as it is expected about 15Oo pupils will be enrolled on that date. This is important also from the fact that 1t will insure the pupils getting the right books. Shifiett, Rowe & Barrett are the author- ized agents for the adopted school books.
 From all indications the schools will make highly successful start, and in point of attendance exceed that Of any previous year. Progress will be the watchword, and the high state of ef- ficiency that has characterized the Ensley public schools in the past will be main- tained or surpassed The High school will receive special attention and many new features added. Professor Baker and his corps of able assistants and teach CTS will put forth every endeavor to make the next session of the school the most successful in it's history.

Neb York Harry Is M
 Federal Fail Al Hflanta

Everything now points to the conclu- sion that Rooney and New York" Harry are one and the same man. People who saw Rooney while he was here are unan- imous in the opinion that the picture sent from Atlanta Is that of the man who was tried here, and the information fnom Atlanta all points to the conclusion that the man being held there is the original New York Harry.
 Hence 1t is believed now that Rooney the man who stood trial here and was acquitted, was really the man guilty of the murder of the two police officers It will be recalled that Chief Bodeker in the trial insisted that Rooney was the guilty man, and that Tom Fay, a member of the Miller-Duncan gang, who was sent to Pratt Mines, too, declared that Rooney was no other than New York" Harry.

Chief Bodeker received a letter yester- day from the federal prison at Atlanta. asking for the local criminal record Of James Rooney. conveying at the same time the information that Rooney was convicted in Raleigh, North Carolina, in June and sentenced to imprisonment for five years for blowing open safe in one of the North Carolina postoffees.
 Accompanying the letter was a picture of the man now serving his sentence in the Atlanta prison. It is undoubtedly the picture of the same man who was tried here last year on a charge of highway robbery, it being alleged that he was New York" Harry, a member of the famous Miller-Duncan gang of safeblowers which robbed the Standard oil company's safe and on the same night killed Police Officers KirlSley and Adams. Rooney was acquitted.

LITTLE JOKE ON MIR. ROOT

Saratoga. N. Y, September 14.-Elihu Root, secretary of state of the United States, was the central figure in the first session of the republican state convention which met in this city to- day. The convention effected temporary organization, heard the speech of MT. Root, as temporary chairman, and ad- journed until tomorrow afternoon at D. m. Secretary Roots speech was of considerable length and consumed little less than an hour and a half in delivery. It dealt almost exclusively with national matters. but began with a tribute to the work of Governor Hughes and the state administration in general.
 An amusing episode during the speech occurred when MT. Root repudiated the inference which he attributed to MT. Bryan, that the enormous popular ma jority accorded the republican national ticket in 1904 was obtained by corrupt use of money. The convention was heartily cheering this sentiment when the band broke out with the familiar strains of "Arrah Aln. You're Only Foolin'."

DESCENT ON BANK.
Italian Quarter Has Bank Run. Fail- ure and Panic All in One Hour.

New York, March 24.-The old Ital- ian quarter, in the neighborhood of Mulberry Bend, had a bank run, a failure and depositors' sidewalk panic all within an hour this after noon. The climax came when Pas quale Pat and his son Salvatore. bankers at 240 Elizabeth street, stop ped payment and closed their doors against a moaning, cursing, gesticulat- ing mob of 5000 Italians.
 A rumor that the Patis were in trouble was started early in the after noon, and it went from pushcart to pushcart as rapidly as a mounted po- liceman seized with a sudden desire to enforce the ordinance relating to peddlers.
 Needless to say, the rumor struck more terror to the owners of the carts and to the small merchants with their wares displayed on the cellar steps than the entire traffic squad could have done
 Fruit and vegetable stands on the Bend were abandoned by the score. the proprietors of the pickle barrels and the vendors of fish all forgot their merchandise. and rushed in droves around the block to Elizabeth street
