GREEK KILLED
 BY DAN DOOM
Shooting Yesterday Afternoon
 In Locker Club
DOOM REFUSES TO TALK
Says His Partner Was Advancing on Him With Ice Pick and He Had To Kill in Self
 Defense.

H. Stevason, usually called Harry 1 Stevens. Greek, was shot and instantly killed at 1;So o'clock yesterday afternoon by Dan Odom In a locker club room at l1lA North Twentieth street, above the Joe Wheeler restaurant.
 Odom admitted the killing, stating that Stevaison was advancing on him with an ice pick when he shot. He fired twice, one of the bullets going wild and the other crashing through stevaison's fore head into the brain.
 The two men were partners in the oper- alton of the club. and the cause of the trouble between them which resulted in the killing cannot be ascertained, Odom declining to talk about it. His only words in regard to it were that Stevaison was advancing on him with the ice pick and that he shot in self-defense.
 Policeman Larue was eating his lunch directly across the street when the shoot ing occurred and immediately upon hear ing the shots dashed across the street and up the stairway leading to the club room. At the top he met Odom, who had smoking 41-calbre Colts revolver in his hand and who stated that he had killed a man. He then led Larue to where Stevaison was lying on the floor. Life was already extinct when Larue reached him.
 Odom then asked Larue to note the surroundings and especially the ice pick lying on the floor The pick was lying within few inches of the dead mans hand.
 Three rooms are occupied by the club, there being the office. a large room and a small one in the rear. A Greek boy in the rear room was the only other person in the place, and was not an eyewitness to the affair. He was somewhat frighten- ed and did not come out of the room until after Officer Larue had inspected the place.
 Odom was taken to the city jail and later in the day removed to the county jail The dead body of Stevaison was re- moved to the Gaudin & Go. undertaking establishment, where it is being held pending instructions of the coroner.
 So far no relatives of Stevaison have been discovered. He operated the soft drink establishment at the old Bank sa-
 
 tieth street for several months, and was well known.
 Dan Odom is about 23 years of age, and Is well known about town. He was re- markedly cool under the circumstances. He is well related.
 The law firm of Allen & Bell was re- tained by him yesterday afternoon to de- fend his case.
 It took but a moment for a great crowd to gather in front of the building where the shooting occurred, and 1t was with great deal of trouble that an ambulance made it's way through to the sidewalk. Odom had been hurried to the jail when it was seen to what size the crowd had grown.
 Coroner Brasher was on the scene few moments after the shooting and ordered the remains removed to the undertaking establishment.

 and General.

Ensley. May 11.-Special.)- Ems Icy Humane society held the regular monthly meeting tonight at the assent bly, rooms of the Bush school The at tendance WAS good. In addition to the usual routine of business a part of the Jefferson Male chorus rendered several fine musical selections. c. II. Mandy. the president. called the meeting to order. After prayer by the Rev. p. H. Duncan the minutes and proceedings of the last meeting were read by Mrs. ". N. Wood. the secretary, who also read very interesting letter from Dr ". O. Stillman, president of the Ma tional Humane society. Dr. StilIman urged that a Sunday in May be set aside to be known as Mercy Sunday when every minister of the Gospel will be asked to preach a special sermon on the subject of mercy
 This movement has made rapid strides in the north and it is desired that it be established all over the south. Short talks were made by Rev.

the Rev. John H. OKelly Our Lady of Sorrows church, Birmingham.
 The Very Rev. Dean O'Grady opened the conference with prayer. and then Father Conepa, who in Genoa, had made a speciality of sacred scripture, read what was regarded as a very able paper on the prophet Habacuc. He gave a lucid ex- position of the prophecies and an inter- esting sketch of the times in which the prophet lived. Father Canepa also read in classic Latin an excellent essay on the prophet Sophanias. giving at the same time a graphic account of the condition of the chosen people in that distant day, when this prophet lived and prophesied. rather Canepa's papers were said by those present to have been most illuminat- ing and he was warmly congratulated by all
 Father Ignatius next read a brochure on moral theology, which was pro- nounced excellent. He clearly defined what is meant by an indulgence, and showed that an indulgence is not as has been time and time again asserted by su- perficial writers who attack the old church, either a pardon for sin or iL license to commit sin; that, indeed, mortal sin must ~At be on the soul of the per- son gaining ssn indulgence; that an in- dulgence in brief Is a remission in whole or in part of the temporal punishment due to already forgiven sin. He estab- lished it Is said, by logical and clear-cut arguments the power of the church to dis pense from it's spiritual treasury indul- gences to It's faithful and deserving sub jects.
 Father Stahl an able canonist read in Latin 8 paper on the rights and duties and dignities of vicars capltular, Vcars general and vicars forane. As the United States has lately been removed from the jurisdiction of the Congregation of the Propaganda, and as, in consequence, ec- clesiastical affairs in this country will fall under the laws and regulations that ob- tain in the old Catholic countries of Eu- rope, the paper was especially timely and was followed with profound interest by those present.
 After the reading of these papers and after the clergy had given their views and opinions on the same, there was an in- formal discussion by those present on va rious matters of interest, both spiritual and temporal. Fathers Klsch Denis O'Kely and Filan gave some valuable suggestions. Regret was expressed by many that Father Downs of Blocton, who always has some Illuminating experiences was not present to give those in attend ance the benefit of them.
 After prayer led by the Very Rev Dean, the conference adjourned till No- vember.
