stood aloof from the work of this man

The nearest to an explanation that
suggests itself is that the department

petty spirit that refuses TO countenance
those who work on independent lines.
Are we to conclude that this is true?

EDISON WAGERS HE'LL BEAT
SOCIETY PASTORS TO HEAVEN

EAST ORANGE, N. j., Dec. g.
That he Is not an atheist, but that,
on the other hand, he has as good
chance of going to heaven as any
minister of the gospel, was the
declaration today Of Thomas Alva
Edison, the inventor, about whose
head religious storm is breaking.
Edison declared some time ago
that he did not believe in a here
after in which crowns and harps
and golden slippers would figure.
| Since then he has been attacked
and defended. One of his notable
assailants was the Rev. Charles F.
Aked of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
church-the Rockefeller church.
I'm not an atheist, never have
been, never said l was," said Edi-
son today, land those people who
have called me one have not read
what said. l believe in Supreme
Intelligence, but l have grave
doubts as to whether the good folks
of this earth are going to be
reused from their graves to go to
some beautiful, shining place up
alOft.
These ministers tell me l am
heading straight for hell. Maybe I
am, but I'll take my chance with
the fashionable minister and II
there is such spot as heaven, I'll
bet I get there first-yes, even be-
fore DR.. Aked.
| Here's what those ministers will
do. A poor reporter, who had leg
shot off in the war when he was a
correspondent for his paper, came
! to me for an interview. He writes
a splendid story and gave him the
interview, because l wanted to help
him.

was lined with unhappiness; the
eyes were dull; swinging walk

his back as they neared him, and

BIG DOG FIGHT
 HELD THURSDAY
TO HAVE CHANGED HANDS WHEN MONTGOMERY FIGHTER DEFEAT ED BIRMINGHAM DOG

After an hour and 15 minutes of fierce fighting, 'Naylor," a Montgomery bull dog, won a decision on foul over Pure Gold Pete,'' Birmingham member of the bulldog family.
 The fight was seld at Vanderbilt Thurs day afternoon and was witnessed by near ly POO lovers of the sport Several thou sand dollars. 1t Is understood, exchanged hands as a result of the fight and the Birminghamers are blue over the re- suit A wager of $500 is said to have been placed by the owner of each dog while the Montgomery owner walked away with s975 over the purse, making s1475 all told. In addition to this, practically every man witnessing the fight is said to have had a bet placed on the fight
 It was a game fight for every bit of the 75 minutes which it lasted. The foul grew out of Pure Gold Pete" refusing to take grip upon "Naylor" when he had him down three different times. Instead of taking the grip he preferred to lie across "Naylor's' head and smother him, and according to "Hoyle," this is foul and three times loses the decision. The Montgomery dog would have won any how in the long run from all appearances and there was no kicking on the ruling

THE SON APPEARS
 AFTER MOTHER HAD
 BURIED A BODY Red" Thompson Thought to Have Been Murdered Ap-
 pears in the City
MOTHER BROUGHT BODY
 BACK FROM PADUCAH
Thought Her Boy Was Gone For ever-He Was Located in
 Dayton, Tenn.

After being identified by his mother as her dead son, and after the body had been brought to Birmingham by Mrs. Luther Thompson, 1271a South Twentieth street. and buried as the remains of her son, Red Thompson, who was supposed to have been killed at Paducah, Ky, April 19 in a fight, and after Mrs Thompson had sworn out a warrant at Paducah charging some men with the murder of her son, it has been discovered that Red" Thompson is alive and we'll and is at home here in Birmingham, while body which his grief-stricken mother supposed was his is lying in the graveyard un- known and unclaimed and probably will remain so.
 According to a telegram from Paducah last night the young man was discovered living near Dayton, Tenn, and when he was told of what had been going on con eerning him he left immediately for Bir- mingham to play the grand act of coming to life from the grave and assuring his mother that he had not been killed at all.
 When the murder took place at Pa ducah some time ago, word was sent to the police here that the dead mans name was Red Thompson, and that he was supposed to have a mother living here Mrs. Thompson was found and went to Paducah, where she identified the dead man as her son, swore out a warrant for the murderers' arrest, and brought the body to Birmingham for interment. Short ly after Mrs. Thompson left Paducah with the supposed body of her son a 5oatman was found who had just received letter from Red Thompson, which pointed to the fact that he was still alive. When he was found in Tennessee Wednesday and left for Birmingham to see his mother the fact was thoroughly established that Red Thompson was not dead and buried at least not the Red" Thompson who is Mrs. Luther Thompson's son of Bir- mingham.
 Whether or not the man that is now dead and buried is an exact double, both in name and appearance of the Luther Thompson who is alive, will never be known, but circumstantial evidence points to the fact that such is the case. Every one had retired at the rooming house on South Twentieth street where Mrs Thompson lives and where her son Is SUD- posed to be now, so that last night noth- ing could be learned of the latest devel- opments.
