ITALIAN SAYS
 HE WAS SCARED
Says Bassford AWoke and Said He Was Going to Kill Man
 In Alabama.

The Italian murderer of Charles S. Bassford, who was arrested near Iron dale Sunday afternoon by W. A. Craw- ford, assistant town marshal of that place, confessed to the Italian consular agent, M. Stancato, yesterday morning that he killed Bassford. He also stated that his real name is Joseph Iannella
 According to the story told to MT. Stancato, Bassford was not asleep when the crime was committed. "It was case of my getting him before he got me-" stated Iannella. Continuing he stated that he and Bassford had both awakened during the night and began quarreling again. During the course of the quar- rel he states that Bassford said he had killed a man in Tennessee and was go- ing to kill one in Alabama. This, he said, so frightened him that he went into the yard, secured the axe and killed Bass ford before he had a chance to kill him.
 Iannella is of Italian parentage but was born in Philadelphia. He is 19 years of age and has been in the Birmingham district for three years.

PIZITZ WILLING
 TO CLOSE EARLY
Believes Employees Should Have the Benefit of Shorter Hours During
 the Summer.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Having noticed through the columns of your paper an account of the move- ment recently inaugurated by the excel lent women of our city relative to the adoption of a rule by the merchants and business men, to close their respective places of business at 5 p. m.-during tine summer months (except Saturdays) in steady of o'clock as is now the rule thus granting an additional hours rest to those who are tired and worried from the labors and heat of the day, and appreciating the faithfulness of our em- ployes and desiring to continue the spirit of liberality which has ever characterized our dealings with those who have helped us to make our establishment what it is, we wish to put ourserves on record as being heartily in favor of the movement and will exert our influence to bring about the success it deserves, cheerfully conforming to the requirements should it be adopted.
 Trusting that the business men of the city will lend a hearty cooperation to the movement, and with best wishes to you, I am, respectfully

HARD KICK MADE ON REMOVAL OF METERS. Water Company Removes All
 Located In City PUT BLAME ON COUNCIL Company Will be Glad of Any Aslta- tion That Will Compel Council
 to Provide for Water
 Meters.

Quite a sensation and a great deal of knocking has resulted from the action of the Birmingham Water Works in remov- ing all the meters in the residence sec tions of Birmingham. It is apparent though that the troubles of the water consumer cannot be laid on the water company this time.
 There are only about 25O water meters in the city limits and these were in- stalled as a trial by the water works com pany Every person who has used meter for any length of time is per fectly satisfied, and a great kick is be- ing raised on account of the change. They are appearing in numbers at the Mayors office and seeking information. The fact Is that where any economy at all Is used the meter usually saves one- half of the flat rate water bill.
 The kick, however, is turned directly upon the Board of Aldermen. The water company and the citizens have both been begging for the meter systenfe At any time a change in the contract could be effected, but it has never been done, while the suburbs around Birmingham are all far in advance and tolerate noth- ing but the meter system.
 While the contract with the company calls for a flat rate, six years ago the company went to the Council with pro- posed change to the meter system, guar anteeing an immediate reduction of the cost of water 10 per cent, but this was turned down. They said the people would not stand for 1t.
 When asked for an explanation of the companys action, Superintendent D. J.. OConnell said: We know that the me- ter system is the only proper way to sell water. and we prefer to use 1t en- tirely, but under the ruling of the su- preme court, where we have a fiat con- tract we cannot make the man who wastes water pay the excess charge over the flat rate. The meter is a great sav- ing for the economic water user. and of course the man who lets his faucets run all the time has to pay for it.
 'I am glad to see any agitation in fa- vor of meters. ] hope the city authori- ties will wake up to their importance. If they were generally adopted, the amount of water per capita that we pump would be cut in half, which would make up fully for the reduced receipts
 The kick for meters Is apt to center in politics, and will probably result in some action by the City Council. While all who have tried the meters are ,ie- lighted with them, some families would not use one for any consideration. In the argument for meters the water com pany presents these figures, showing the small amount of water used per capital where the percentage of meter used IS high. as compared with the fiat rate system:

AGED LADY IS
 STRUCK BY CAR
Fender Probably Saved Her Life. Mrs. Rogers Has Cash, in Arm
 and is Bruised.

A Mrs Rogers narrowly escaped being run over by an electric car yesterday morning near Tegner Station, in Elyton, on the Powderly car line As it was the fender threw her to one side cutting a great gash In her arm and bruising her badly.
 The accident occurred shortly after 8 clock directly in front of Mrs Rogers home. She is well advanced in years. and was crossing the track when the car bore down upon her. The motormon made strong effort to stop his ear. but only succeeded in slightly slackening it's speed. The fender on the front of the car proved its worth in this instance, however. sd brushed her off the track.
 AS quickly as possible the car was stopped and two mer4 dismounted and went to her assistance. The injured wo- man was practically unconscious, and the men assisted her to her steps.

REUNION FOR THE
 BIG STUDENT FIVE
COLLEGE BOYS WILL SHAKE THE ATHLETIC WORLD WITH A BAS- kET BALL GAME IN THE SUM- MFR TIME.

Something new in the form of summer basketball will be initiated at the Young Mems Christian Association Friday night. July 10, at S:SO o'clock. It will be one of the old-time "whoop 'em up'' classes and is expected to draw a large crowd.
 A special significance is attached to this summer game since one of the teams is composed of a crowd of college boys who played in the boys department of the association in the season 1905 -O6, and at that time cleaned up the country round.
 They are not too old to have forgotten the game, but will have jolly reunion and at the same time entertain a hope of defeating the Y. M C. A. Crescents, team composed of some of the best players in the associa tion
 The game and reception in honor of the Students Five' is being gotten up by Claude H. Estes captain of the Y M C. A. first team of 19Os It will be quite a social event for the younger set in- cluding music and refreshments. A great deal of interest is being shown in the game by the young people, as well as the old.

BETTER POSITION And Increased Salary as Result of Eating Rlght Food.

There is not only comfort in eating food that nourishes brain and body, but some- times 1t helps lot in increasing ones salary
 A Kane school teacher tells an inter- esting experience. She says: .
 About two years ago l was extremely miserable from a nervousness that had been coming on for some time. Any sud- den noise was actually painful to me and my nights were made miserable by hor-1 rible nightmare.
 T was losing flesh all the time and at last was obliged to give up the school l was teaching and go home.
 Mother put me to bed and sent for the doctor. l was so nervous the cotton sheets gave me a chill and they put me r woolens The medicine I took did mo no apparent good. Finally neighbor suggested that Grape-Nuts might be good for me to eat. l had never heard of this food, but the name sounded good so I decided to try it.
 T began to eat Grape-Nuts and soon found my reserve energy growing so that in a short time I was filling a better position and drawing larger salary than had ever done before.
 AS see little children playing around me and enter into their games I wonder if I am the same teacher of whom, two years ago, the children spoke as ugly old thing
 "Grape-Nut food with cream has be- come regular part of my diet and have not been sick a day in the past two years" There's a Reason.'

Rare Presence or Mind
 AbeYfS 1heatYe Panic


 In the twinkling of an eye the house was in an uproar. Men and women rose from their seats in precipitation There was the terrifying rumble of feet, which is always the precursor of a panic, and a rush for the doors. MT. Walter s. Bald win of the Baldwin Melville company, which was giving a performance at the time, ran out on the stage, shouting for the crowd to sit down, other members of the company and stage hands lending aa- sistance in quieting the excitement, and the orchestra struck up a lively air
 It was all over in a minute. No one got as far as the doors, and the people resumed their seats. The play was im- mediately continued as if nothing had happened. No one was hurt. The panic seems to have been started in a moment of hysteria, which passed as quickly as it had come.

COUNTY ROADS IN BETTER
 CONDITION THAN EVER

vine, Johns and the new Shades Noun tain roads will all have been completed by the end of this month unless some very serious hitch occurs.
 "The new boulevard between Birming- ham and Ensey has been virtually little more than started and of course we can't tell when it will be finished. However. the contractor has about 30 men with 12 teams at work on the new highway and everything is going forward nicely.
 By the fall of the year all of our roads will be in excellent shape, none excepted. While there is room for more roads the highways form a liberal net work over the county, and the great majority of the roads are fine ones.'

PASSING FIRE WAGON AND NE GRO FIGHT IN THE GALLERY BROUGHT ENTIRE AUDIENCE TO ITS FEET LAST NIGHT.

A threatened panic was averted at the Bitou theatre last night by the rare pres ence of mind of the players on the stage and the members of the orchestra. During the third act of "The Confessions of a Wife" the gong of passing hose wagon en route to fire caused a ripple of un- easiness in the audience. Immediately afterward there was a scuffle in the gallery among some negroes, and num- Der of negroes, who, 1t was reported, feared that some one was about to shoot, made rush to get out of the way.

 Among those favoring the prevention of grade crossing tragedies was a can- didate for Mayor, a candidate for presl- dent of the City Council, and numer- ous candidates for aldermen.
 People approached on the subject first ask if it really means anything this time, but the officials who are backing the new movement assure then. that with their new power given by the last legislature they intend to accom- plish something this time, and the railroads will either have to build the viaducts or contest it in the courts.
