+. O. THOMPSON is
STILL IMPROVING
visitors Have Been Denied at the In
Urinary, However, Because or
Patients Nervous Condition

The condition of J. o. Thompson, col
lector of internal revenue and chairman
of the state republican executive COM
nnittee, is improving every day, according
to reports from Davis infirmary.
1t was stated at the infirmary last night
that Mr.. Thompson had been receiving
too much comuany and transacting too
r,uch business and that it had made him
somewhat nervous, SO that it was felt
hest to allow no one to see him for a
few days.
Mr.. Thompson was injured in an auto
mobile accident nearly three months ago
and while his wounds have been slow In
healing the improvement has been sure
and steady.
His nervous condition and the fact that
visitors are being denied seeing him are
supposed to have caused the alarming
renorts circulated about his condition.
DIR. r. w. Harris of the Davis infirmary
corps said last night:
..Reports that the condition or j. "
THOMPSON had suddenly become extreme
Nv serious are without truth and founoa-
ton. It is true that Mr.. Thompson
condition is serious, and has been SO ever
since the accident At present, though
he is getting along very nicely. His in
juries are healing splendidly. and there
are no signs of blood poison. AT the
present time we could not say just how
much longer he will be confined, though
it will probably be some time"

BIG EXPENDITURES
FOR NORWOOD PLAN
Changes Will Cost the Frisco
Alone $125,000
TOTAL WILL BE $4,000
Two Viaducfs VIII BE Necessary to
Handle the acknowledgements
Are Let for a Large Part of
the Norwood Work
TOTAL WILL BE $375,0O0

The Frisco railroad will spend $125,-
900 to make possible a beautiful ad-
dition to Norwood. But for the agree
ment OF the Frisco railroad to abandon
its tracks on Thirty-third street upon
which it had long franchise, the pro-
posed Improvements in that section
would be long delayed and perhaps
never made.
The company will start work within
the next so days, according to an OF
fetal announcement made yesterday by
A. D. Lightner of the Frisco. upon the
new track which will parallel the
Southern railway on Twenty-seventh
street.
All passenger trains of the frisco'
the Illinois Central and Southern rail-
way will operate out Twenty-seVehth
street to Twenty-third avenue, thence
to their several main lines. The frisco
will continue out Twenty third ave-
nue. to the Thomas yards. thence TO
Pratt City via East Thomas.
The expenditures of the Frisco and
that of the Birmingham Realty COM
pany in Norwood will approximate
% O,UUU. I'll lllS sum eho @>-~s
pany will spend $250,o0O.
The contract for a large portion or
the realty company work has already
been awarded and for the cemented
sidewalks a contract will soon be given.
1t was stated yesterday that two
viaducts will be required to handle
the rearranged railroad.
One will be an under pass at FIJI
teenth avenue and another will be n
bridge at Twelfth avenue.
This work will be of reinforced con-
crete and steel construction. The I'M
derpass will be used by street cars
and other traffic, while the railroads
will be above. Exactly the opposite
situation will prevail at the Twelfth
avenue bridge.
The area to be developed, according
to an official statement made yester-
day, will be exactly as great as the
present Norwood, If not slightly in ex-
cess The work will include 200
foot boulevard one and half miles
long, penetrating the extremes of the
property
The boundaries will be to Twenty
sixth street west, to Thirty-seventh
street east and to Fourteenth ave-
nue. north.
The present Frisco and Birmingham
Belt lines on Tenth avenue will be used
for freight transfers and will, in a
measure, minimize the present grade
crossing dangers along this avenue.
The Frisco tracks which parallel the
North Ensley car line to East Thomas
will be used for freight service, but
not for passengers when the new work
is completed.

BLUFFING PEOPLE
TO BUY MAIL BOXES
POSTMASTER CARTER SAYS NONE
OF PRESENT ROUTES WILL BE
DISCONTINUED BECAUSE CITI-
ZENS HAVE NO BOXES

For the purpose of furthering the sale
OF mail boxes, 1t is said crew of men
are warning housekeepers in Birming
ham that the delivery of United States
mail will cease within a few days unless
a box is provided.
The persons making this claim are not
known. However, Postmaster j. Rivers
Carter said he wished to issue a warn
ing to the people of Birmingham
'On the established lines in the city
no discontinuance of mail service has
ever been thought off, said Postmaster
Carter. Person circulating such re-
port are doing so simply as a means of
inducing people or threatening people
into buying their wares. 1t is true, in a
sense. that delivery will not be made to
prolonged routes. But as the routes now
stand no trouble of any kind will be en-
countered by the lack of boxes
1t was stated that the men who are
trying to sell the boxes totally misrepre-
sent the true conditions and that per-
haps some action to break up the prac-
tice of misleading the people will be
taken. ,6.i

headquarters of the Barber Asphalt Paw
ing company, one of the largest concerns

contented himself with the declaration
that he had always voted the democratic

to Have the Cooperation of
All the Citizens
BODEKER READS LETTER

The police and the Befl Telephone COM
pany are now hand and hand with the
Associated Charities, which is now in gen.
eral charge of the charity work of Greater
Birmingham. Due to a complaint that
the whereabouts of the organization Is not
generally known, Chief Bodeker has
agreed to call on all his patrolmen to re-
fer every needy case which comes under
their notice to W. NJ McGrath. general
secretary.
The telephone company yesterday made
special arrangements by which every call
for the Associated Charities will be given
quick attention, and the whole force was
informed that 1t is just as important to
know No 54S4 as the number of the fire
station or the police station.
The police will be expected to refer all
cases of men or women who are found
begging, or asking transportation to get
out OF town, to the organization, that the
secretary may get the names of all per-
sons, whether needy or not, for future
reference.
The system which has been adopted by
eliminate indiscriminate charity is one
which requires the cooperation of all the
forces in the city, and every individual to
perfect 1t and give the benefit of its full
value to the city.
In response to a request Secretary Nc
Grath yesterday wrote the following let
ter to Chief Bodeker, which will be read
| to every shift:

you will instruct the police of this city

tory and gain knowledge of really meri-
torious cases that might otherwise escape

Guy Johnson Buys New Drill
ing Machinery
EXPERT TO BE IN CHARGE
President of Company Also Assured of

EXPERT TO BE IN CHARGE

| That large quantity of machinery for
drilling had been purchased, and that ne
had secured positive assurances of suf-l
ficient funds to pipe gas to Birmingham
in the event his company strikes it in pay
ing quantities, was the interesting an
nouncement made last night by Guy r.
Johnson, president of the Fayette Oil
and Gas company upon his return from
Cincinnati.
Mr.. Johnson added that his purchases
would be shipped right away. In fact, a
portion of his order has been placed on
the cars and is now in transit to this city.
Mr.. johnson also stated that his COM
pany had secured the services of per-
haps the most expert gas drller in the
country, William Sibble, and that the
expert would accompany the machinery
to Birmingham and superintend the drill
ing.
"Our equipment has been purchased
with a view of deep drilling. and we
can go 5000 feet II necessary in our work"
said Mr. johnson. THE Fayette OIL and
Gas company has secured the services of
William Sibble, one of the most expert
gas men in the country. He will be in
charge of our drilling, and | have not
the least doubt but that gas in abund-
ance will be discovered on our properties.
while in Cincinnati I secured assur-
| ances from many capitalists that they are
willing to pipe our gas to Birmingham IL
we convince them of the permanency OF
our find.
IF Cincinnati may be taken as an ex-
ample, the finding of gas near Birming-
ham will revolutionize this city. While In
Cincinnati l visited almost every portion
of the city and l was simply amazed at
the wonderful growth of that town since
they have piped gas into 1t. They bring
gas 223 miles from West Virginia and
their Industrial growth has been marvel
Gus. I noticed the complete abandonment
| of soft coal as fuel, and 1t is the use of
soft coal that furnishes the smoke nuis-
ance with which almost every city has to
contend.
