PENSIONS GIVEN
 TO THE VETERANS
AMOUNT DISTRIBUTED IN JEFF PERSON COUNTY FOR PAST QUARTER IS $7385. .5o- ABOUT 1000 VETERANS PARTICIPATE.

Maj. N. A. Graham and Mai John T. S. Wade, clerks in the probate court are engaged in distributing the warrants for pensions for the last quarter of this year to Confederate veterans residing in Jeffer- son county.
 This being the last quarter of the year, the pensions are lighter than for the three previous quarters. Pensioners in the first class generally receive $25 quar- ter; second class $2o; third class, $16, and fourth class. $12.5O a quarter, but as is usually the case the annual appropria- tion has run short and the pensions have been cut accordingly.
 For the last quarter pensioners of the first class are receiving $1S.75: second class, S11; third class, ss.SO, and fourth class, $s9o. The aggregate amount of pensions now being distributed to Confed- crate veterans residing in Jefferson coun- ty Is $78S5. 70. The pensioners of Jeffer- son county number few less than 1000.
 The warrants may be obtained in Judge Lane's division of the circuit court which is directly across the hall from the of- flee of the probate court. Major Graham and Major Wade will be engaged in dis trbuting the warrants today and during the early part of next week.

TRAIN CRASHES
 INTO AUTOMOBILE

{ The crashing of a train into an auto avenue, north, yesterday morning result ed in the demolishing of the machine and the njuring of Mrs. Annie Shindelbower,
 The machine belonged to Mrs. S. H. Norris, who had been out riding with her mother, Mrs. Shindelbower; two children and a nurse. AS they neared the cross- ing they saw the train approaching but did not hesitate to start across as the train was some distance away, the ma- chine being on the low gear.
 As the car bumped over the rails 1t went dead, leaving it squarely across the track Mrs. Norris was running the car and alighted as did the nurse and chill dren. They signalled the train to stop. It is said that the train was over a block away at the time. Mrs Shindel- bower did not get out of the car. every one thinking the train would stop
 Instead 1t came on, and before Mrs. Shindelbower. who Is well along in years, could get out of the automobile, the train and ruined 1t. Mrs Shindelbower was thrown to the ground and sprained her hip and received other injuries. Had the train been travelling at fast rate 1t would have undoubtedly resulted in her death.
 Mrs. Norris is the wife of s. H. Nor ris of the Wood-Norris Lumber company. Mrs. Shindelbower was removed to her home, and Is resting as well as could be expected under the circumstances.

STATE FAIR WORK GETS EARLY START Only the Fest Will Be Offered
 This Year SOME ETHING OF THE PLANS Permanent Improvements Are To Be Made on the Grounds-Prizes Aeeregating 5000 Offered
 for Races Alone.

Prompt, gingery, rich, racy and rare the Alabama State Fair for this year. The fair association, backed by the bus mess men, is going out after the genuine article in every instance.
 President c. W. Ufford has just re- turned from the east, and has nvestigat- ed number of amusements which he has on the string. He intends to bring the best that can be procured and to start the fair full blast on the first day.
 One particular feature this year Is that the departments will be in charge of the best business men that could be procured men who can be depended upon Frank D. Fuller of Nashville, recognized to be the best horseman in the south, will act as starter and have full charge of the races. He has already enough entries in the early closing purses to insure a fine line of racing.
 This year it will be impossible for the racers who take part In the Tennessee fairs to skip to Texas and MT. Fuller has engaged them all for Birmingham. Ten thousand dollars has been offered in purses.
 E. H. Galusha. a business man of Ems ley, who is one of the best known chicken fanciers in the country, has agreed to take charge of the poultry department, purely for patriotic reasons. He will make the poultry show real success.
 T. H. Joy for years chief engineer of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company, has agreed to act as supern- tendent of grounds. He has spent ten days working on the plans of permanent Improvements. which must be put in this year, and in laying out scheme of im- provements for ensuing years. Under his expert direction nothing will be thrown away, and every dollar spent will count He will also beautify the grounds and give the association all assistance in every line that he can.
 G. B. McVay, who heads the agricul- tural department, has begun organizing the counties, and is working on a num- Der of unique schemes to make the fair a real success. The agricultural exhibits this year promise to be exceptionally fine.
 The great point about the preparations Is that they are early. The catalog will be out in a few days. Sale of space will begin shortly and the fair will be in full swing when the gates open on October F.

PROTEST MADE ON
 BURIAL OF BODY
INTERESTING QUESTION OF AU- THORlTY BETWEEN CORONER AND HEALTH OFFICERS WILL BE THREsHED OUT.

An interesting situation has arisen in connection with the killing of Robert An derson several nights ago in the Sea. board concrete cut on Avenue A, which will be aired in police court this morn- ing.
 There is doubt as to whether An. derson met his death by being ground un. der the wheels of the train or whether he was first murdered and his body placed upon the track. County Physician Dr. Frank c. Grace for this reason was unable to give certificate showing the exact cause of death pending the final verdict of the coroner.
 The remains were being held at the Green Undertaking company's establish ment and a sister of the deceased de- sired that the funeral be held yesterday afternoon. A burial permit was applied for by the undertaken but the city health department declined to issue the permit as the exact cause of death could not be stated. The sister was still desirous that the funeral be held which was done yesterday afternoon. the coroner having given both the undertaken and the Elm wood Cemetery association a permit to inter the body.
 After the funeral Inspector Street of the health department placed Edward Warner of the Green Undertaking com pany under bond to appear in police court this morning and answer to the charge of having inferred a corpse with out a city burial permit. the health de-. pertinent holding that the coroner had not the right to issue such an order The outcome of the matter promises to be exceptionally interesting, bringing as 1t does a controversy between the coroner and city health department as to which has the higher authority in an instance of this kind.
 The coroner has set next Monday as . the day for a hearing in the case, while few arrests have been made in con- nection with the matter. The arrested parties, 1t is believed. are simply being held as important witnesses in the case.

BIRMINGHAM ELKS 0FF THIS MORNING Will Conduct Spirited Advertise
 ing Campaign GONE FOR WHOLE MONTH Special Train Goes From Here to Los Angeles, Returning to Birming-
 ham By Way of Seattle,
 Canada and Chicago.
GONE FOR WHOLE MONTH

The Elks of Birmingham will this morning place their antlers in front of an Alabama Great Southern special and will be whisked away on their 90O0-mile jaunt to and from the grand lodge and convention at Los Angeles, Cal While the big train will be made ur in Meridian, the Birmingham crowd will be big part of the Cotton States Spe- l cial. They are determined to make this
 a booster trip, and will spare no efforts l in advertising Birmingham to the peo- 1 pie of the west.
 | This is the first time that Birming-
 ham has had the opportunity to spread the news of her greatness among the cactus and the big trees. At 10:20 this | morning they are off, and it will be 'Bir- mingham and Lodge 9S' until the special returns on the first of next month. The party from Birmingham Is headed by J. D. Shelby, past exalted ruler, a member of the grand lodge and formerly president of the state association. MT Shelby has Just finished successful term at the head of the local Aodge and is one of the strongest Elks in the state This train load, and many others to go later by a more direct route, represents nearly 10000 active Elks In the 10 lodges of the state of Alabama.
 The delegation will start a movement for Birmingham to entertain the Elks at some future date. It will require the completion of the s1000,0OO hotel to &C., commodate the crowd of 10000 that at tends, and it will be several years be- fore Birmingham could go after the con vention in earnest.
 This Is probably the most widely at tended and best paying convention that is held in the country. There is al- ways big fight for it, and 1t requires two or three years hard work to get In line. Dallas, Tex. had to put $lOoOo0 in certified checks in the hands of the con vention to secure it.
 Los Angeles Is spending thousands of dollars on an entertainment, the most elaborate ever planned. Every minute is full of incident. The purchase of ev- cry seat in all the theatres for the free use of the Elks is one example of how they work. There will be three big balls, great floral, allegorical and electrical parades and the whole town will be turned over to the visitors.
 The Birmingham car will spend four weeks on the trip, and will visit Seattle, besides all the other big western cities. It comes back through Canada. ending at Chicago. where the party will break up and come home at its convenience. Southern railroad officials have never before planned such an extensive affair. The Alabama Great Southern will carry five sleepers. a dining and observation car and a baggage car.

Maud Warren, the 15-year- daugh- ter of Mrs. B. F. Warren, residing at 720 South Twenty-fifth street, was the victim of an ugly assault at the hands of an unknown negro yesterday aft ernoon about o'clock. Apparently the negro's motive was none other than robbery.
 According to the information received at the sheriff's office the little Warren girl was at home alone yesterday aft ernoon, and 1t seems that she went into the pantry at her home to get some lemons. Just as she stepped Into the pantry door the negro seized her and choked her
 After subduing the little girl by strangling her. the negro bound and gagged her and tied her to the floor, after which he kicked and dazed her for a few moments.

Child Gagged And Tied T0
 Floor By Vegy0 Burglar

The assailant and robber then pro- ceeded to go through the house, pick ing up what he saw fit. Having coniL pleted thorough search of the prem ises he went out the back door of the house and made good his escape. It Is understood that nothing of great value was secured by the burglar
 After the negro left the little girl attracted neighbors by her screams and the sheriff's office was immediately notified. Deputy Sheriff D. H. Wilson took the bloodhounds to the scene of the assault and burglary, but such crowd had assembled and the trail had been crossed so many times that the hounds could follow 1t but a short dis tance.
 The incident caused great excitement in the neighborhood where it occurred and a large crowd of men gathered to follow the bloodhounds.

HARD TO CATCH.
Police Seem To Be Unable To Do Any
 thing With the Gamblers.

During the past several nights the po- lice department has been exceptionally busy in the effort to catch the gamblers That Chief Bodeker Is doing all he can seems to be freely admitted. That the gamblers have it on the authorities, and that they are going to hold their own after the recent decision of the supreme court sustaining the clubs Is the opinion of many. Practically all of the gambling houses are now said to be operated in connection with locker clubs.
 Visits were made last night by officers to the various places. but without avail, the clubrooms having taken on a funeral appearance by the time the policemen ar rived.
