THANKSGIVING DELAYED.
Wreck Spoiled Dinner of Montevallo
Girls Yesterday.

Montevallo, November 25.-(Special.)-
A wreck on the railroad delayed two
turkeys for the Thanksgiving dinner at
the Alabama Girls Industrial school,
so they will postpone their holiday to Fri
day, as the University Glee club will be
here Saturday and Sunday
The club will give its entertainment
Saturday night.
One of the most beautiful weddings that
has occurred in Montevallo in many years
was that of Miss Maude Allen and DR..
John Cox Wall at the Presbyterian
church this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
A very impressive ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Joseph Dunglinson.
The cards of admission to the church
limited the number in attendance to only
the relatives and a few friends of the
contracting parties, adding thus to the
impressiveness of the occasion.
The Embroidery Circle was to have met
at the home of Miss Maude Allen this
afternoon but she said she had pre-
vious engagement with DR.. Wall at the,
Presbyterian church, SO changed the style
OF the entertainment by inviting them to
her wedding at the same hour.

This is considered as a record breaker.
Albert Spencer is manager of this branch

of the undertaking. Wylam is a town
of residences, principally occupied by coal
miners and employees in the steel plant.
A large part of the deposits is placed

The people Of Ensley are confidently
looking for even greater developments in

men, yesterday confessed, say the po-

in the Japanese quarter within the last
two weeks and to having robbed more
than twenty-five houses.
The boys, according to their confess

Japanese at Fourth and Wall streets,
February &c. and obtained a watch and
80 cents The same night they robbed
another japanese on North Vine street
and took a watch and rs cents. Four
nights later they held up a japanese
on North Vine street and obtained 81.
The boys evidently had studied the
methods of hold-up men and planned
their work after the manner of pro-

Williams acted as lookout to warn the

had looked the city over and picked
out the houses and buildings in course
of construction and during the night
visited these places and took the tools
that had been left by workmen.
The youthful criminals are said ia
be unable to remember the exact num-
Der of places which they are said to
have robbed, but it is claimed they
probably took tools from twenty-five or
thirty buildings.

NEGRO COLLECTOR OF

DR.. CRUM SAVES TAFT MUCH
EMBARRASSMENT
Man Whose Appointment Was So
Bitterly Opposed by Southern
Senators Voluntarily
Yields Office

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 1.-Dr.
w. NJ. Crum resigned tonight as col
lector of customs at this port, to take
effect March 4, thus remedying sltua-
ton which threatened to cause Presl-
dent-elect Taft much embarrassment.
No appointment made by President
Roosevelt has given rise to more dis
cussion than that of DR.. Crum, VINO Is
asnegrO.
A hard fight against his confirmation
was made by Senator Tillman ana
others when ~e was first named in 1903,
and within the last few weeks, follow
ing his reappointment. Senator Tillman
conducted a successful flibuster
against confirmation.
DR.. Crum says no pressure has been
brought to bear upon him to cause him
to resign, but that he does so in part
because he wishes to save Mr.. Taft, FOR
whom he entertains great respect, from
any possible embarrassment as to his
reappointment and chiefly because he
feels that he has been especially identi-
fed with President RoOsvelt's admin
istration, and he wishes to retire with
his chief.
