THINK THEY HAVE
 MYR|CK MURDERER
Doc Murphy Arrested In TaIIa-
 poosa County
HOW MURDER OCCURRED
Men Had Quarreled About Ownership of Calf and Myrick Was Shot from Ambush While Passinq
 Along Road.

After having eluded the authorities for six months or more, Doe Murphy, the alleged murderer of J. T. Myrick, whose family is one of the best known in the northwesterp part of the county, was captured early yesterday morning near Alexander City, in Tallapoosa county. The arrest. it is understood, was made without trouble, Murphy being taken by surprise and he offered no residence
 The crime with which Murphy is charged was one of the most sensational of the past year, growing out of the arrest of Murphy on a warrant sworn out by Myrick. Myrick charged that Murphy stole from him a calf, which Murphy at the same time, claimed was rightfully his. When Murphy was ar rested he learned that Myrick had sworn out the warrant against him and he de- clared at that time that Myrick would never live to testify against him.
 The murder of Myrick was well planned The murderer hid in ambush at daybreak and waited until o'clock, fir ing upon Myrick as he rode on horseback down the highway Myricks wounds showed that the assassins gun had been loaded with slugs and rough shot of some kind and his death was instan- taneous. The killing occurred at Sayre, a small mining town in this county. Immediately after the killing Murphy was seen to run across the bridge over the Warrior river and after that he dis appeared. A few days ago 1t was re- ported to the sheriff that Murphy was hiding in Tallapoosa county and Sunday morning Deputies Brown and Curl went after him, succeeding in capturing him near, Alexander City early yesterday morning
 The deputies were expected to return with their prisoner over the Central or Georgia. railroad at S:30 o'clock, but at midnight the train had not arrived.

MAY DECIDE TO
 RAISE SALARIES
POLICEMEN AND FiREMEN NOW MAKING LESS THAN $foO WILL PROBABLY COME IN FOR IN CREASE SOON.

The finance committee of the Board of Aldermen held an executive session last night and it Is understood will recom- mend to the council at the meeting to- night that the salaries of the police and fire departments be increased. The in creases In question would go to the men receiving less than t100 per month.
 At present the highest salaries in both departments for others than the captains and sergeants are s75 per month. and the increase which the committee will probably recommend will be $. The ser geants and detectives draw S90 and the recommendation will call for an increase of S7.5o
 Recently the members of both the po lice and fire departments pettioned the Board of Aldermen to increase the rate of pay, stating that .he cost of living had increased to such an extent during the past few years that the men were run ming in debt to meet their ordinary house. hold expenses. While the amount asked for-Si0 for each man-will probably not be given. the 8 raise will find warm appreciation in the hearts of the city's protectors.

OFFICER REPRlMANDED. w. w. Slik Had Made Complaint About His Arrest on Election Day.

A long session was held by the police commission yesterday afternoon. the charges preferred against Policeman W. A. McAllister by W. w. Silk being in- vestigated. McAllister was reprimanded and instructed to exercise more thought in the future while the commission also was of the opinion that silk was some what to blame.
 This case grew out of the arrest of Silk on November g. the day on which the people of Alabama sat down so hard on the proposed prohibition constitutional amendment. McAllister, who was on duty at the voting place at the city hall, instructed Silk to move of the sidewalk and finally arrested him. Silk preferred charges agaiust the officer because he would not allow him to make bond on the spot but instead walked him around to the oity jail. The commission was of the opinion that McAllister should have allowed the bond on the spot.

BOMB EXPLOSION
 WRECKS HOUSE

New York. December 21.-An echo of the hatred felt by Italian black flanders for Lieutenant Petrosino. who was as sassinated in Italy, is believed to have manifested itself fin a bomb explosion from the East Side here today.
 Thirty families were thrown into a panic in the early hours when bomb to which a time fuse had been attached exploded in the lower hallway of a Prince street tenement. The building was badly damaged and jagged hole blown in the floor directly over base ment fruit shop kept by Dominica Am prose. The tenents, scantfly clad, fled to the streets and were cared for in the houses of friends.
 A child belonging to the Ambrose family was Kidnapped several years ago and returned on payment of a ransom. Later one of the kidnapers was ar rested by Lieutenant Petrosino and given 15 years in prison. Threats have since been received by the family, and Ambrose declared today that the bomb undoubtedly was intended to injure his family and wreck is shop.

CHANGES MADE IN
 NEW WARD LINES
GREATER BIRMINGHAM COMMIT TEE HELD SESSION YESTERDAY AND HEARD INJURIOUS REPRE- SENTATIvES OF SUBURBS.

The Greater Birmingham committee of the Board of Aldermen went through an- other nerve-racking session yesterday afternoon. and after tearing their hair in an effort to solve a few of the hun dred and one vexatious problems facing them, decided on the following changes in the ward lines of Greater Birming- ham:
 That part of North Birmingham south of Village creek and east of Stouts road to be placed within the Fourth ward
 That part of the Eleventh ward lying north of Woodlawn and East Lake be- yond the Woodlawn cemetery be placed within the new Twelfth ward, which VIII be made up of woodlawn and East Lake.
 The dividing line between the wards to be composed of Thomas and North DIT mingham, which was decided upon Satur- day. was moved short distance closer to North Birmingham, natural conditions calling for this change.
 The Alice furnace. which is not at pres ent in the limits of Birmingham, put which is in Elyton. and which cuts lnto Birmingham for several pioeks' VIII pc included in the Ninth ward, while the line will also be extended 8 short dis tance beyond Seventh street, so as to take in Highland park and part Of Glen Iris.
 Present at the meeting until the com mittee went into executive session were citizens from the various suburps "ltn requests and protests. Their tales ana appeals were listened to with kindly ear, and the committee showed desire to be fair in the work.
 Chairman Barnes T. Morgan is wearing a haggard look as the result of the worry he has been through during the last two weeks, while the other members or me communities. Aldermen Causey, StarbucN, Perdue, Gregg. Harper and J. K. cope land, are looking stopped, pale and noi- low-eyed as the result of their labors
 City Engineer Nicholson attended the meeting with maps and other intorms- tion relative to the proposed ward lines. He has quite task before him In defining the exact boundaries.
