PUCKET IS HELD
ON UNIQUE CHARGE
CLAIM is MADE THAT HE HAS Sc
CURED HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS
ON FAKE ABSTRACT AND MORT
GAGE SCHEME.

A very neat and intelligent looking
white man with many aliases, but who
claims his right name is 8. 8. Pickett,
was arrested yesterday by City Detectives
Murphy and Williams on a charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses. The
arrest is considered an important one and
was effected only after the case had re-
ceived the careful attention of Detectives
Murphy, Williams, Ray and Tully for
several days.
Pickett is alleged to have swindled a
prominent attorney out of over $500, and
the local police believe that his opera
tons may be found to extend up to
thousands of dollars. He is being de-
tanned in the city Jail and Chief Bode-
ker has wired the authorities in several
large cities notification of his arrest be-
lieving that Pickett may be wanted else
where as badly as he is wanted here.
Pucketts method was both daring and
exceptionally clever. 1t seems that he
would draw up fake mortgage deeds and
abstracts on real estate and go to per-
sons In the money loaning business, stat
Ing his desire to discount the mortgage
and secure money on, 1t. He carried one
of his schemes through and secured over
$500 on the fake mortgage. 1t is stated
that when his arrest was effected yester-
day he had closed arrangements to dis
count another fake mortgage drawn on
the property of quite well known res
ident of this city.
The ceverness of Puekett's work is
shown by the fact that he offered to
have a lawyer examine his abstracts and
deeds, and in the case where the 5000 was
secured the papers were passed upon by
an attorney and pronounced all right.
Chief Bodeker states his belief that
Puckett's operations here, as well as else
where. may have been somewhat extern
sive and fake mortgages and abstracts
are expected by him to turn up right and
left.

DIES FROM HAVING
HIS LEGS CUT OFF
ROBERT MATHIS SUCCUMBS TO
INJURIES RECEIVED AT EAST
LAKE CAR BARNS EARLY YES
TERDAY MORNING.

Robert Mathis, a white boy II years
of age, died last night at sos o'clock
as the result of injuries sustained yester-
day morning at the East Lake
car barns. Mathis has been employed
as car sweeper by the Birmingham Rail-
way. Light and Power company for the
past seven months, and was engaged
in his duties at the time of the acct
dent
1t seems that the tragic occurrence
was due to the fact that the young
man began sweeping out one of the
cars before it had been brought into
the barns. According to the statement
of those who were near at the time of
the accident Mathis had finished sweep
ing the motor car and had sent it into
the barn when he attempted to board
the trailer, which he had in the mean
while uncoupled. He jumped upon the
car near the front and, missing his hold,
was thrown to the tracks and ground
beneath the Wheels Both legs were
completely severed from the body, the
left being crushed at the hip and the
right at the ankle.
The boy was rushed to Birmingham on
car and brought to the st. Vincent
hospital by Shaw & Sons ambulance.
For time some hopes were entertained
for his recovery but at 6 o'clock yes
terday evening he succumbed to his in
juries.
Young Mathis had been in the en-
ploy of the street railway company for
the past seven months and was generally
considered to be an honest and faithful
workman. He is survived by a widowed
mother Mrs. e. ]. Mathis, three broth
ers, W. ]. Mathis, ]. Fl. Mathis and
G. c. Mathis; and three sisters, Mrs.
W. L. Banks of Bessemer, Mrs. Hicks of
Dora and Miss Martha Mathis of East
Lake.
The remains will be sent to Dora this
morning for interment.

No Prejudice Against Birmingham.

No Prejudice Against Birmingham.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
I was very much surprised when
Senator Wilson introduced his bill in
the Legislature looking to the removal
of the capitol from Montgomery to
Birmingham, but am delighted at the
stand which Is being taken by your
self and other business men of Bir-
mingham in this matter. I have read
with much pleasure your article in to-
days Age-Herald and indorse every
word of 1t.
We of south Alabama are proud of
things are in store for you, but it is
my firm conviction that the great ma
jority of the voting ctizenry of the
state are unalterably opposed to any
change and that it would be fatal to
the best interests of both cities to
agitate this matter do not believe
there is any prejudice in this section
against Birmingham. but there would
very soon be if this agitation came
from your representatives.
We are opposed to any division of
Jefferson county and hope that the new
county movement will be lost and that
the great county of Jefferson will be
allowed to remain intact.
I simply write you this letter to give
you an idea of the sentiment here and
you are at liberty to publish any part
of it If you see fit to do SO. Yours

DISCUSSION OF NEW BILL
Some of the Problems That VIII Be
Met In Handling Greater Citys
Affairs-Little Talk of Con-
test Is INDUCED In.

The action of the suburbs which have
been included in Greater Birmingham is
being watched closely by the public at
large. 1t seems that there will be an
other big rush to issue bonds, let con-
tracts and expend money which will have
to be paid by the greater city. 1t is 81
question whether they will contest the
bill in the courts and attempt to prove
1t unconstitutional.
While the best authority In Birming-
ham carefully went over the bill and
guarded against any technicality, Felix
Blackburn and several other prominent
attorneys express the opinion that flaws
can be found
On the other hand, 1t is understood that
move is on foot to bring Elyton in at
once under the Smyer law, and a num-
Der OF the bitterest enemies of the bill
have declared their intention to drop
animosities and pull together for the good
of the city
There will be rush to get civ i'm
provements under way. Enslev has called
for bids on 30 blocks of sidewalks. West
End is hurrying with her municipal i'm
provements All OF the suburbs have
contracts advertised, and the next four
months will see great activity In the
surrounding camps.
The effect of the new city on the various
departments will be startling /, its pro-
portions The street commissioner will
find himself with about four more busi-
ness sections. and thousands of ponu-
lated streets to care for. The police de-
partment will have to adopt the system
of sub-stations used In other large cities.
ana 1T is probable that two or three
deputy recorders will be stationed, one at
Ensley, one at North Birmingham and
the other in Wood lawn According To ,
the minimum average, one policeman to
every 1000 people. Birmingham would have
to use 1875 policemen and probably good
many more.
Chief Bennett will need at least two
more assistant chiefs in the fire DEPART
ment, and has decid ed to use a fire car.
equipped for quick runs on the street
car lines, while cars will be kept in read
mess so that any number of the central
stations could be sent to a big fire in
Ensley or any other suburb.
The office of president or member of
the board of education will become even
more responsible than at present Every
suburb, Woodlawn, East Lake. Elyton
West End, Ensley, Graymont and North
Birmingham, has just completed entirely
new systems of modern school buildings
birmingham will probably have the finest
school system in the south when the ex-
tensive improvements now under way in
the old city are completed.
President John l.. Parker said yester-
day: 1.-The system in vogue at the pres
ent time viii be continued. There will
probably be 900 school teachers under the
direction of the board. 1t is probable
that the need of another great central
high school will be fastened. The re-
sponsibility and Importance of a position
on the board has been increased two
fold"

grip on her companions and went under.
When the little Wood girl had taken

the water to save her playmate. and in
the effort was exhausted, and she.
too, went under. The other two girls in
the meantime rushed to Lewisburg near
by and summoned aid When the res

pulling the girls out. The Ladd girl was
dead, however, and the little Wood girl
was found to be in very dangerous con-

With all possible haste physician was
summoned and after about an hour sue

night.
