SHOOTS BULLET
 THROUGH BRAIN
w. T. STEER COMMITS SUICIDE ON SECOND AVENUE CORONER FINDS HOLDING OF AN INQUEST TO BE UNNECESSARY.

w. T. Stier we'll known in Birming- ham. committed suicide yesterday morn Ing by firing bullet into his brain. The rash act was committed at 2106h Second avenue, north, about 9:3O o'clock in the morning, and death resulted at 12:3O o'clock in the afternoon at the Hillman hospital
 The shot attracted attention, and sev- eral persons rushed to the scene It was at hrst thought that he was dead. but an examination developed the fact that he was still living. Lige Loy's ambu- lance was quickly summoned. and ina wounded man rushed to the Hillman hospital The bullet had entered the brain, however, and it was readily seen that he could not live.
 Solicitor Hefin instructed Coroner Paris to hold an inquest. a few small things appearing suspicious. A personal inyes- tigation, however, convinced Coroner Paris that there was no need of em- paneiing jury, as the act was un- doubtedly committed by Stier.
 The remains were removed to the resi- denee of the mother of the deceased. Mrs Frances Stier, 20O9 Fifth avenue north, where funeral services will be held at o'clock this afternoon. The Rev James A. Duncan will offlciate and interment will be at Elmwood cemetery.

NEW FREIGHT RULE.
Shippers May Combine in Shippino
 Small Quantities.

washington, July 27.-According to a de- cision by the Interstate Commerce com mission today, shippers may combine small quantities of freight either by ar engagement among themselves or through the medium of a forwarding agency and ship the combined total at the relatively lower rates applicable to large shipments.
 The commission decided in favor of the smaller shippers upon the ground that the ownership of property rendered for shipment cannot be made test as to the applicability to carriers rates The in- terstate commerce law forbids discrimi- nation between shippers, and the fact that one shipper tenders a "bulked ship ment,' made up of property of various shippers consolidated before delivery to the carrier, will not justify the carrier in making different charge than for shipment of similar character rendered by a shipper who is also the owner.
 This decision was based on complaint by the California Commercial associat ton vs. Wells-Fargo & Co.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Cost of Primaries.

To the Editor of The Age-Hera1ds
 I see in your Sundays issue that your Montgomery correspondent quotes from the letter of MT. Henderson of the dem- 'ocratic committee of the Second district, reference to the large cost of a primary, where he expects to run the primaries in all the nine counties of the Second dis trict at 6. cost of s2400. They seem to agree that this expense Is bar to poor mans running for office. These things attract our attention and awaken our interest, for every worthy and capable man should have & chance independent of his bank account. The primary is nearer to the people and in some way should be preserved as part of our method.
 That Mry Henderson can run the pri- mary in the nine counties of the Second district at an average cost of $265 each Montgomery county being one of them is some encouragement The late pri- mary, May IS, in Jefferson county cost more than the proposed cost for this whole Second district of nine counties.
 
 lected from all sources for primary ex- penses about s2570. It is now going on three months since the primary, and no showing as to the cost and to whom paid has been made, though candidates and citizens have asked for same re- peatedly in person and by letter. and through the city papers. The committee seems to have no sense of responsibility. They err in thinking that while we de- mand publicity in Washington City, we will shut our eyes and go it blind at home. There must be change of mind of the present committee or, there will be demand for change of the com mittee Mr. Henderson is represented as favoring the assumption of primary ex- penses by the state. The inquiry Is per tinent: What has MT. Henderson got against Alabama?
 The lack of confidence in our party af- fairs is working a disintegration In the democratic party, and for a committee handling public funds and refusing or failing to show up accounts will not se- cure to them the faith, loyalty and CO., operation that should exist.
 If I am not misinformed, in four years our primary in Jefferson has about dou- bled as to the amount collected for ex- penses It won't do to let this "frenzied finance" be put on the tax books. Why, MT. Henderson would have to get for us, too, a back-tax commissioner for this county to keep the committee going and the state auditor to show the details of the management of these trust funds. Hoping. MT. Editor, that the journalists of this community will give this matter a prayerful consideration as to the line of their duty in pointing out error-cor- recting mistakes and restoring confidence in the integrity of party affairs. I am yours truly, T. A. HAMILTON.

RUSSIANS JEERED AT BESSIE MINES Guards Finally Disperse Union
 Men Around Shaft TRIP MADE To ATTALLA Militia Will Bring in Negro Miners Today-cavalry and Artillery To
 Take Place of Infantry
 Now in Field.

A small demonstration at Bessie Mines during the morning was the only ripple upon the quiet surface of the strike situa- tion yesterday. This occurred when the imported men who arrived at Bessie Sum- day afternoon were starting down the shaft, a large crowd of union miners gathering around and attempting to per suade them not to work
 Most of the imported men, however were Russians and could not understand the union men, and the moral suasion soon changed to jeers and misses. The demonstration reached such height that the guards made the union men disperse Matters soon quieted down then, no further trouble being reported.
 Reports from the other sections of the district also told of quiet day. It was reported to the sheriff's office yesterday that some of the guards near Wylam had fired several shots at five men who at tempted to pass through the lines early Sunday morning. No one was hurt
 A detachment of 24 men from Company G were sent to Attalla yesterday after noon, returning about 12 o'clock last night with a carload of imported negro miners. The negroes also had car load of baggage. They will be taken out of Birmingham to some of the mines early this morning.
 While 1t has not been officially ordered, it is pretty certain that all of the infan- try companies will be sent to Chickamau- ga for the encampment. The Alabama National Guard will go into camp at Chickamauga on July 30, 1t having been postponed for several days by Governor Conner.
 The infantry companies on strike duty now will be called in from the field and sent to Chickamauga, while cavalry and battery troops will take their places.
 Most of the men are in splendid shape, the hard drilling they have been put through during the past ten days having harceAed their muscles. The first two days after they were called out was very lard on them, and most of the men re- ccived blistered feet as the result of their climbs across the mountains.
 It is also said that a number of houses are to be erected at Vivian by the union to house the union striking miners. The union has recently purchased a tract of eighteen acres at this place and an effort will be made to house those miners who have been put out of the company houses and who have been unable to find other shelter.

NO WEEDSNORE BEHAVIOUR
 INCHES ALLOWED LN CI71

Within the past few days the scythes and lawn-mowers which have been all lowed to lie long idle have been hum ming a merry song of the City Beautiful. Reason: Every weed and blade of grass more than four inches tall and growing within the city limits of Birmingham is supposed to have been moved down by this morning; and such not being the case, those who have not compiled with the law will be arrested and fined.
 Mayor Ward issued a proclamation about a month ago calling on the people of Birmingham to cut their weeds by July 2S setting forth the fact that it is violation of the law to allow weeds or

grass to grow more than four inches tall, and calling attention of citizens to the penalty of being fined for viola tion of the specific law Today is the 18th, and bright and early this morning inspectors will go out to locate those citizens who have been neglectful.
 In all parts of the city yesterday lawn mowers and scythes were being put to use. Especially were the big realty com panies busy, and the City Beautiful idea is being greatly promoted. Mayor Ward stated yesterday afternoon that due warning had been given and that the law as set forth in the city code would be enforced without exception
