LADY ATTEMPTS
 TO TAKE HER LIFE
North Birmingham Woman Found In Room With Deep Cash In
 Her Throat.

Mrs. Sam Rich, wife of the superin- tendent of the North Birmingham pipe shop, made a sensational attempt yes- terday afternoon to commit suicide by cutting her throat with razor. She was found in a pool of blood in her room and it was discovered that after administering what she thought was a fatal wound she had put the razor back in the bureau drawer.
 Mrs Rich lives at Twenty fifth street and Thirtieth avenue, north. She has been in i'll health for nearly a year, and this is given as the cause of the at tempt.
 A carpenter was working in the house next door, when he heard the groans, and breaking in the door found the woman lying unconscious in her blood, and strangling where it went into the severed wind pipe.
 The ambulance of l. Macle was called and he made record run to St. Vim cents hospital, where an operation was performed, and it was discovered that none of the arteries had been severed. It is a very bad wound, how ever and Mrs. Rich is unconscious and in dan gerous condition, The attempt caused quite a sensation in North Birming- ham where Mrs. Rich is well known and respected.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Careless Paintino.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Today I noticed painter from the fire department painting the fire plugs on the corners of the downtown dis trict.
 While this is very commendable on the part of the city and in line with the Mayors CityBeautiful,S it is an out rageous case of indifference on the part of whoever has this work in charge when, after painting, no warn ing placard was placed on the plugs thus freshly painted.
 The subscriber saw the suits of a number of both ladies and gentlemen completely ruined by coming in con- tact with them.
 painter thought to have your clothes ruined through the indifference of some public official, but if he was made to pay for them he might think diff ferently. And again, the street sprink : Ter seems to think it a grand joke to put on an extra spurt just as he is passing some ladies dressed in white. It would not be a bad thing if he should be asked to suppress his bump of humor on such occasions. Please print and oblige visitor

SANDERS BADLY
 INJURED BY TRAIN
YOUNG MAN AT GATE CITY GOT HIS FOOT CAUGHT IN A FROG AND WAS STRUCK BY AN EN- CINE.

J. c. Sanders, a young white man about 23 years of age, suffered painful and perhaps fatal injuries as the result of being knocked off of the Alabama Great Southern tracks at Gate City this morning shortly after 12 o'clock
 Sanders, it seems, was under the im- pression that the Alabama Great Southern train, No. 5. stopped at Gate City. He intended to leave Birming ham for his home in Tennessee and evidently intended to flag the fast train at Gate City. As the train ap- proach ed he caught his foot in the frog of the track and the engine struck him and knocked him off the track, but his right foot was so badly nangled that 1t will be necessary to amputate it.
 The injured man was removed to the Hillman hospital in an ambulance of Mewbroune & Spain, Woodlawn under takers, and at an early hour this morn ing his condition was pronounced seri- ous.

South Mobile
 The New Port
What 1t Is and Where It Is.

Situated 2S miles south of Mobile, the new port, on Mobile Bay will be the greatest coaling port in the United States and possibly in the entire world. Why? Because Alabama has the coal in un- limited quantities that can be easily and eheap1y transported to South Mobile, the nearest port to the deep water of the gulf and the easiest, quickest and cheap est port that vessels sailing the gulf can make on the entire coast.
 Mr. William s. Hedden, a prominent business man of South Mobile, said this morning that the people in Birmingham were interested in port facilities and since his arrival in the city many of the citi- gems have called and made inquiries re- garding the new port of South Mobr>S
 Fifteen million dollars have been sub scribed by Mobile business men to dig & channel of 14 feet at mean low water from the deep water anchorage to the docks, a distance of four miles, loading basin of the same depth and the docks with rail connections ready for business.
 With its waters, soil and beach, It's op- portunities for bathing, boating and fish ing, it's fish, oysters, fruits, vegetables, nuts and flowers, no other place offers such opportunities, no place is so ideal for any purpose. It's exceptional rail and water facilities, its abundant artesion water Suppls, ltb UchiIlcs5 lo lhCAHdusti- ble supplies of raw material, of coal, iron, timber, clays, cement, cotton, hides, cane and garden truck; with ample land for all factory purposes, together with It's ideal advantages for the homes for the worker, make this one of the most desirable locations for manufacturing in the entire south.
 And remember, the dock facilities at Mo- bile proper are far short of present de, mands.
 South Mobile has a population of about 25o people with splendid schools and churches.
 Several new residences are being built Lots can be bought from $50 to s700 on easy terms and are advancing rapidly Already over 250 have been sold.
 The man who will grasp this opportun- ity now and invest few dollars in South Mobile property will double hls money in six months.
 Mir Hedden has placed these valuable lots in the hands of Mir. John R. Perkins 1S Watts building, who will be glad tc show and explain this splendid new town which he predicts will be one of the great est cities on the gulf coast. The realty companies of Mobile have been the means of developing this new town and are spending thousands of dol lars on various improvements.

Queenstown May Be Dropped.

London, Ont, April 17.-There seems some likelihood of Queenstown being dropped as a port of call by the steamers Mauretania and Lusitania, on their west ward journeys. The Liverpool chamber of commerce has taken up a proposal to de- liver the New York mail on the fifth day from Liverpool, and Postmaster General Buston has promised to see what can be done. The Irish opposition to this pro- posal doubtless will be keen.

The Ben Greet Players finished their en- gagement at the Jefferson theatre with an excellent performance of Hamlet last night Frank McEntee played the part of the Danish prince with sympathetic effort. He brought out the pathos of the character and lost none of its dramatic possibilities. His enunciation was good and his delivery had charm and grace. His elocution was considerably enhanced by a pleasing voice and a good figure. Of the three plays given by the Greet players Hamlet has the most poetic beauty and the performance last night was impressive. Stanley Drewitt as Laertes and the ghost, John s. O'Brlen as Polonius, Mark T. Wilson as Horatius, and Mllicent Evison as Opheia. shared in the honors of the performances Keith Wakeman, who was superb as Lady Mac beth Friday night, again had a queenly role as Hamlet's mother and she was excellent in the part. The performance throughout was artistic and well done, giving a finishing touch to the very favor able impression made here by the Ben Greet Players in Elizabethan drama.
