BAZAAR BEGINS
 NEXT THURSDAY
IT IS GIVEN TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE EXTENSION TO ST. VIM CENTS HOSPITAL L-POPULAR CONTESTS ARE PLANNED.

The bazaar for the benefit of the fund to St. Vincent's hospital will be opened next Thursday in the spacious rooms on Twentieth street across from the Wood ward building. Mrs. H. l.. Debardeleben, Mrs M Clifford. Mrs. w. I. Grubb, Mrs. J. l.. Welch and many other prominent ladies have been at work some time ar ranging for the bazaar, and it promises to be a notable social event. It will be continued into next week and business mems dinners will be served daily.
 A great feature of the bazaar will be the contests--some for children, some for graduate nurses, some for men. An es- pecally spirited contest will be that for the most popular railroad division super intendent stationed in Birmingham, or whose jurisdiction extends to Birming- ham. All the ssuperintendents have been waited upon by committee of ladies and each has allowed his name to be entered for the contest for the good of the cause The candidate receiving the largest num- Der of votes will be awarded the prize, a s25O set of library furniture. Most of the contests will be closed with the con- clusion of the bazaar, but that of the superintendents, which will be an excep- tionally large affair will be run until Christmas, or maybe into the new year.
 The new wing to St. Vincent's will cost about s50.000. Ten thousand or more has been subscribed already, and 1t is hoped by the friends of the institution that the balance needed will be raised soon, so that work may begin in the spring.

 FINE AND SENTENCE
CASE WHICH HAS ATTRACTED WIDE INTEREST RESULTS IN A VERDICT OF GUiLTY-GlvES NO- TlCE OF APPEAL.

 The case of Krelhaus was taken up last Thursday morning and was com pleted early Thursday afternoon. It was perhaps the hardest fought prohibition case which has yet come up in the Jeff ferson county courts and owing to the delay of the jury in returning a verdict it has attracted much interest Late yesterday afternoon the jury announced that it had reached a verdict and Judge S. l.. Weaver who heard the case, called them into the court room and had their decision read to the defendant.
 When the. verdict of the jury was an- nounced krelhaus, through his attorneys. gave notice of appeal and he made an ap- peal bond.

A friend wishing to be of service to Y. T. Thomas, one of the young men "ho was arrested several nights ago by deputy sheriffs for carrying d gun with d barrel less than 24 inches in length snort lv after he and a friend had posed for their pictures pointing pistols at each othar got him into further trouble yes terday.
 The silhouette of the two men with pis- tols in their hands was thrown upon the canvas of the photograph gallery and this was noticed by the deputies. After the men came out of the place and walked up the street short way the deputies anproached them and found the pistols on their persons and placed them under arrest.
 When arrested the men stated that they had just come to Birmingham that oay' had secured boarding house and were taking in the town that night. They stated that the landlady at their board- ing place told them of the many Killings which had happened here recently and they thought best to take the pistols with them. They claimed to know nothing of the 24-inch barrel law.
 Yesterday a woman appeared at the county jail and asked for Thomas Pinion. She was told that no such person was there, but she insisted that a man of this name had been arrested during the last few days for a murder he had commit ted in Georgia. According to the deputies at the jail she stated that she was sister of the man.
 After a few words Thomas was finally brought out, and, according to the deputies she recognized him at once, but he showed no recognition of her at first. After a few moments. however, they got into a whispered conversation. After the conversation the woman secured blank bond and returned in few moments with 1t properly signed but her remarks in regard to the man being wanted for mur- der had made the officials suspicious, and a charge of fugitive from justice was placed against him and the bond on the pistol charge refused.
 The authorities at Valdosta, Ga. where Thomas said he was from, were tele- graphed to by Sheriff Higdon in regard ta the matter.

She wore a woolen dress and was reaching on the mantel- piece above the grate for her books when the dress caught fire. 1. Medical aid was quickly summoned and she was removed to the hospital, where every effort was exerted to save her life At times it appeared as if she would re- cover, but the burns had been too severe, and she gradually sank lower and lower until death came.

M'COY TO REMAIN
 HEAD OF SCHOOL

The report which became current several days ago that President J. H. Mccoy of the Birmingham college would give up his charge after the Methodist conference and return to preaching is without foundation.
 It is understood from a reliable au- thority that pr. Mccoy will remain as head of the great Methodist school which he has improved so wonderfully during the past two years. There has been no discussion of a change, and all the members of the conference would urge that he be retained even if Dr. Mccoy sought to be released. On the other hand, the president is en- thusiastic in his work, and expects to help the Birmingham to even better ac- complishment during the next term

Circuit Judge A. o. Lane yesterday rem dered his opinion in the contempt pro- ceedings against Sheriff Higdon, Chief of Police BodelSer and Police Officer w. M. Burge, growing out of the recent opening of the safe in the soft drink establish ment of George Howell on Morris avenue and Twentieth street Judge Lane fined Sheriff Higdon $25 and held Chief Bodeker and Officer Burge blameless
