NEGROES FORGED TO. GIVE UP DIAMONDS
LARGE QUANTITY OF JEWELRY RE- COVERED WHEN OFFICERS SOLVE MYSTERIOUS RoBBERIEs AT THE JAFFE JEWELRY COMPANY

City Detectives Burke and A, D. Brown cling of a mystery that has puzzled the department for some time. The thieves who have been systematically stealing valuable Jewery from the Jafre Jewelry company were proven to be James Lewis and Gus Taylor, two negroes. A confess and the jewery recovered. The following articles have been recovered Four dia- mond rings, two diamond brooches, one diamond sunburst, one diamond pin, one pair diamond earrings, one diamond lock- ct and chain, one gold necklace, four pair gold cuff buttons, one gold necklace and two souvenir spoons of gold.
 The plan of the negroes was most in- genious. Lewis was a trusted employe of the company and would take the jewelry and pass it to Taylor, who would dispose of it. It is charged that Taylor first found out what article he could sell and told Lewis, who procured it.
 The thefts began about six months ago and the jewelry company was completely mystified. The police were notified and Officers Burke and Brown assigned to the case. Taylor was first caught through his bringing stolen locket into the store from which 1t had been stolen. After hard work by the detectives Lewis was connected with the case and his arrest followed. Subsequently he confessed and the property was recoverei. Both negroes are in the city jail and will be given aa hearing on August 30.

She asked for her husband and children several times and was told that they were at East Lake. Later in the day. however. Mrs. Milford recalled the at tack and has fully regained her mem ory Since this she has made no ref erence to her husband.

Vaught, by whom he was found loafing in the vicinity of the courthouse.

BISHOP N'COY ON
 UNIQUE VACATION
WILL STAY AT HIS OWENTON HOME AND ENJOY THE ADVANTAGES BIRMINGHAM OFFERS AS SUM- MFR RESORT

Bishop J. H. Mccoy has returned to Birmingham after an absence of several weeks and has planned what may be termed an odd vacation.
 He said yesterday that inasmuch as he was called away from home frequently on account of his new work that he intended to lounge around his Owenton home for two or three weeks and not visit the city streets except at infrequent intervals.
 Birmingham and my home are suffi- cient summer resort for me-" said Bishop Mccoy yesterday afternoon. we have an ideal climate here and we people of Birmingham should feel thankful for it. Many points in this state and the south are not so blessed. seldom find it neces- sary to provide artificial means to keep cool in this city. I am very proud of Birmingham from a climatic, and in fact every viewpoint"
 Bishop Mccoy said he would attend the laying of the corner stone of the Metho- dist church in Ensley next week. At this service will be many distinguished men of the church.

OUTLOOK IS BETTER
 FOR IRON TRADE Conditions Are Expected to I'm
 prove Very Soon PIG IRON STILL QUIET Investigation Shows That the Report of Cutting on Prices of Standard Steel Rails Is Without Any
 Foundation
PIG IRON STILL QUIET

Cleveland, O., August 1.-(Special.)-l The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
 say:
 Prices of finished materials show in creasing steadiness and sentiment that better conditions will prevail in the fall grows stronger, the Steel corporation now operating about 70 per cent of its blast furnace capacity.
 Buffalo furnace interests have been less active in eastern territory during the past week and interest in the pig iron market in that section has not been keen. Basic has been sold as low $15 in the eaN and the price of Bessemer in the Mahon- ing and Chenango valleys is lowering around that figure
 The pig iron market in the central west is extremely quiet. Reports from Bir- mingham indicate some increase in firmness in prices. But southern iron can still be bought for s11 at the fur mace for No. 2. The Lackawanna Steel has sold 10000 tons of Bessemer rails to the National Railways of Mexico. The Illinois Steel reports sales of 1O,50O tons of Bessemer rails, including one of 5000 tons to a western road. Further in vestigation shows that the report of the shading of prices of standard steel rails was a complete fabrication. The presi | dent of the Southern railway, to whom the purchase of the rails was attributed, says he has not bought rails at any price and that his company has no use for the quantity of rails reported.
 The American Bridge company has taken a contract for 10000 tons for the | New York Central terminal improve ments in New York city. It has been decided to proceed with the erection of the Mandell Brothers building in Chi | cago requiring 10000 tons, for which the contract was awarded some time ago to the American Bridge company. This will | be received on September 1 on 21,50O tons | of 42-inch cast iron pipe for the Port | land, Me, waterworks, and at the same | time bids will be received for 10000 tons of riveted steel pipe.

 Rollines Is an old man n years of age, but he was so violent that it required the combined strength of the three officers and a pair of handcuffs to hold him. He shouted at the top of his voice that the minions of John D. Rockefeller had him in their. clutches, and called fre- ouently upon Governor Conner and Presi- dent Taft to witness that he was inno- cent
 A large crowd quickly collected in the corridor of the courthouse where he was being held in chair, and the police had much difficulty in keeping order.
 Rollings was taken into custody Sunday by Officers O'Neal and williams at Scott station, to which place he had wandered from his home near Gate City. He was taken from that place and confined in the Woodlawn jail for safe keeping and was brought from Woodlawn yesterday after noon on a street car by Officers Garner, Snow and Evans.
 T. H. Rollings. his son, who resides at Irondale, accompanied him to the court house yesterday and answered the inter rogatories necessary to obtain a com- mitment to the insane asylum at Tusca-
 oosa The man was taken to the city jail last night for safe keeping. and will be taken to Tuscaloosa this morning with two policemen as escorts. He refused to be taken from the police patrol yesterday the strength of five men to get him out.
