THE SIMS TRIAL
 HEARD TOMORROW

The preliminary hearing of James Sims, held on charge of murdering Conductor J. z. Grimes on the North Ensley car line some time ago, is set to come up before Judge l. H. Benners of the inferior crim- inal court tomorrow morning. The hear ing was postponed from last Saturday.
 Sims was arrested about two weeks ago. The crime with which he is charged was perhaps one of the most attrocious ever perpetrated in this county, 1t being re- called that Grimes was shot from ambush as he stepped from his car to flag the Louisville and Nashville crossing at East Thomas. Robbery was the evident motive of the murderers. Motorman Dorrough, who was Crimes partner, testified that there were two of the highwaymen and states that he had fierce hand to hand combat with the man who fired upon Grimes. Borough was positive in his identification of Gordon McAllister as the man with whom he had the fight and Me- Allister Is now confined in the county jail on a murder charge.
 Just what evidence will be presented against Sims is not known. It Is stated, however. that Sims admits that he knew both Grimes and his wife and had called upon them several times

During the month which Is about to close the coroner has held S5 investiga- tons of violent deaths Six outright hom- fcides are accounted for by reports of investigations, while two or three ap- parent murders are pending investigation
 and the report on 12 cases is that "the deceased came to death from causes not publicly known" There were IA acci- dental deaths one suicide and two deaths from acute alcoholism.
 The vicnities of Bessemer and Enslev were the scenes of all six murders &C., counted for Birmingham proper bearing an absolutely clean record in this respect so far this month. The more sensational homicides were that in which J. W. Hand ley, white miner, was shot and killed by Hugh Lynch, mine foreman, at Wv lam, and that in which Joe Wagner, a. Hungarian, was shot and killed at Ensley by w. s. Russell a special officer em- ployed by the Tennessee company. The other homicides were as follows: Cilla.

East Lake; Nora Davis, colored, East Birmingham; Allie Burnett, colored, 2212 Third avenue.

 The accidental cases were: Mrs B. C.

, BROWN CATCHES NEGRO.
Black of Many Aliases Behind County
 JalI Bars.

A negro charged with being a fugitive from justice and carrying list of aliases three feet long was arrested and commit ted to the county jail yesterday aft ernoon by Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien c. Brown, The negro's name is Alex ander williams, alias Sweet William, alias John, alias Jim, alias Henry Jack son, alias Henry Letson.
 Williams was arrested on the strength of the statement of a man who called at the sheriff's office yesterday and in- formed the authorities that the negro was wanted in Georgia for forgery. The informant stated that he had Williams located and Chief Deputy Brown took the matter in hand.
 The two men went to West End after the negro, but upon arriving found that he had been notified of their coming and had run away. Deputy Brown caught the next car for Birmingham, but in stead of getting off rode directly back to West End and found the negro in the house where he first looked for him. Williams evidently thought that the of flcer had given up chase after he got on the car headed for Birmingham.
 The negro has been placed in the coun- ty Jail where he will be detained until information regarding him is received from the Georgia authorities.

Through Train Window
 Daring Prisoner Leaps

Lock No. 2 and was travelling at about 15 miles an hour. AS the partition in the car was reached Glover darted suddenly through the doorway, and turning, dlved head first out of the car window. The window was raised hardly a foot, and wonderment was expressed as to how Glover had gone through so quickly.
 The train was stopped and run back to the place where Glover had jumped. He was found lying upon the ground the front part of his shirt torn at the chest while blood flowed from his nose. He appeared to be unable to talk. He was placed upon the train and brought on to Birmingham. an ambulance meeting the train and removing him to the Hillman hospital.
 It is thought that his injuries may not be quite as serious as they were first thought to be, and an officer was sent to the hospital to guard him and prevent an- other attempt at escape. His home Is at Anniston, and he was formerly employed as a railway news butcher. The ring was located in an Atlanta pawnshop.

BEGINNING OF END
 OF PROTECTION

Washington, July 2e.-(Special.)-I has been the fashion ever since the tariff bill has been under consideration for a member of the House or Senate who did not like the way some feature of the measure was going to rise in his place and solemny send forth a warning to his colleagues. Warnings numberless have thus been issued of the way the country would go to the dogs if given schedule were lowered. In such circumstances the warning which is now being diligently cir culated has to be accepted with less per turbationSthan otherwise. Nevertheless it is one of the most interesting of the warn ings that have been put forth. It is to the effect that free hides and free raw materials mark the beginning of the end of the protective system in this country
 Free hides is the entering wedge to the downfall of protectionS' said one of the ablest of the western republican senators tonight after the conference report was signed. This senator added that it was the part of folly for New England to in sist on free hides, and that the very first effect of free hides would be to turn the guns of large numbers of western re- publicans against the duties on the man. ufactured articles of New England. Now so not a few republican senators are argu- ing, the removal of the duty on hides means the beginning of the end of pro- tection on at least agricultural products which are in any degree affected by the tariff. In the opinion of some of them, the next attack will come on wool.

NEGRO SAYS HE
 WON MANS CLOTHES

In the arrest of Joe Beck. charged with highway robbery, the sheriff's deputies may have captured a dangerous negro When Beck was committed to the county jail he was stripped for examination and 1t was found that his body bears marks the like of which are left by the broad straps used in whipping prisoners for misbehavior in the mines. It Is thought that possibly Beck is an escaped con- vict and an investigation Is being made in this direction.
 With reference to the alleged hold-up which Beck is charged with having com mitted at Gate City Wednesday night, the negro tells very different tale from that of his supposed victim. The object of the alleged highway robbery was R. C.. Vanwyck a white man, who charged that Beck held him up at Gate City and took his clothes away from him.
 Beck claims that he and Vanwyck start ed out on trampng trip and that they had started to Irondale, leaving Br- mingham together. The negro says that he had s. 50 and that while he and Van wyck were passing through a stretch of woods near Gate City Vanwyck proposed that they have a craps game" Beck says that Vanwyck did not have any money but that he played his clothes against the negro's $95O. Beck says he finally won all of Vanwyck's clothes and had started back to town when arrested.

RAIL MILL GOING ON DOUBLE TURN. Two More EnsIey Furnaces to
 Be Blown In COAL TRADE IMPROVING Outlook Better for Commercial oper- ators-Iron Market Strong at $ts. Very Active for Ths Sea-
 son of the Year.
COAL TRADE IMPROVING

The industrial situation in the Birmng- ham district is improving steadily Several of the iron companies, notably the Ten nessee, are increasing their coal output while many of the commercial companies whose trade had been extremely dull for the past 12 months, are beginning to re- port a decidedly more active inquiry.
 The Tennessee company is about to blow in It's Ensley blast furnace No. f. It will start its converting mill department and its rail mill will go on double turn dur ing the month of August. Ensley blast furnace Mo- will be lighted within the next week or ten days. These increased operations at Ensley mean, of course, increased production of raw material and additional employment for wage-worlSers at the mines and coke ovens.
 The Tennessee company is now operat- ing three furnaces at Bessemer, one be- ing out for refining, two at Ensley and It's Alice furnace in Birmingham.
 The pig iron market continues strong at SIS on No. 2 basis. Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati circular for this week follo%s
 
 in good volume, with inquiries well sus- tained. There Is an increase in effort to obtain prices for early part of next year, but as yet the range in these Is so great as to make buying somewhat uncertain. There Is very evident tendency on the | part of buyers to consider such busi- ness seriously, which will undoubtedly bring about at an early date an excel | lent movement for the early portion or first half of 191o
 For this time of the year and condi- tions as they have been, the market may be said to be unusually active. This is more pointed In some districts than others. Recent buying of steel making irons has given that particular market d much stronger tone, which is reflected in other lines.
 "The second advance in wire prices has been made. Advances In pig iron in the central west south and New York dis tricts, scacity of some grades and the continuing increase in general foundry consumption are all items in the inn proved conditions which must not be over looked.
 shipments from the southern, Virginia and Ohio furnaces are in good volume. this being particularly true of southern districts. One item of special note is the continuing of buying of iron for the third quarter of this year by consumers. who 1t has been expected, were covered to January 1. In many cases their bus mess has improved to such an extent that their estimates for material were found inadquate and they have been forced to buy additional amounts. This has kept the current business in good shape, pending decisions on the part of furnaces to quote for next year.
 Coke has been more active and prices without change. although much firmer. The ovens In action In all districts are almost the full amount available and pro- duction is improving. There have been several furnace contracts for the last half closed and buying by foundry con- sumers on years contracts continues"

ABRNETHY SAYS COMMISSION BILL ALREADY DOOMED In lis Opinion the Urquhart Document Is Poorly W0ILD DESTROY PARTIES IND ENDAN GER VOTERS Says Would Be Misdemeanor To spsest Toscertain Individual
 That He Run for the
 Commission.

The plan of governing municipalities by co missions Is a capital idea if it were orked out properly" said Judge H. B. Abernathy last night "but I find, havinaread the document closely, that the bilwhicn will be presented before the Alabaa legislature Is poorly drawn, and believ, that If 1t Is allowed to stand as 1t Is nv 1t will be defeated. If the legis- laturedoes not turn the bill down it shoulddo so.
 "Onjof the chief objections to the bill, as I ss 1t, is that 1t will destroy the dem- ocratiparty of Alabama eff there Is one) or an party, as far as that Is con- cerned One section forbids the matter of you sggesting and urging a man to run for position on the commission. In other words, according to the provisions of thebill a man desiring to become membt of the commission must become A, candiate of his accord without the sig nified hdorsement of his party. Thus the bill dds away with primaries.
 ITO make the matter plainer. suppose the dsaocrats of Birmingham decided to get tdether at the city hall and hold caucu. for the purpose of putting forth some tan or several men for position on the commission. Such action is made a misdeeanor by one section of the Ur- quhartbill, and if the chief or police or the shtiff got wind of such a meeting he would hve authority to arrest every man attendig and jail him on a misdemeanor chargel
 "Sucha provision, 1t seems to me- Is enoughto' defeat any measure, and l be- lieve 1t Fill defeat the much-talKed-ot plii providiE for commission form or gov ernmentfor municipalities"

Undressing hold-ups" are all the rage these nights and B. Maltinsky, a tailor by occupation was Initiated into the mysteries of this art early this morning.
 Maltinsky was at West Highlands station on the North Ensley line. He had Just missed the last car to Br mingham and started walking down the track to town. After going a short distance he met three men and in- qured of them the right way to town. They told him they would show him and ledshim down from the track un- der an arc light.
 They pointed the way to him and he started off after expressing his thanks. He had gone but few steps when they called to him and askod
