Lizard in Girls Stomach

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 1o.-A live
lizard, six inches in length, and
the head of another lizard, was
discovered in the stomach of Miss
Lowe Herman, 10 years old, who
died today.
Miss Herman had been ill for a
year from a disease which puzzled
many specialists. Last Monday
the attending physician succeeded
in bringing from the girls stom-
ache the live lizard and the head
of the second one, but too late to
save her life. The family formerly
lived near Millerburg, Ohio, and
drank spring water. 1t is sup
posed the girl swallowed the liz
ards when small while drinking
and that they gradually grew and
killed her.

ROOSEVELT'S CAREER
 MARVEL OF THE AGE

"The thing that interested me most to- larity that has been secured and Is being sustained by Theodore Roosevelt, said Dr. J. A. B. Lovett of .Bessemer, who was in Birmingham for few hours yester- day.
 T am, of course, a democrat, but laying all political differences aside, 1 consider Mir. Roosevelt not only the most popular but the greatest man in the world today. He is bold and fearless in his opinions and never hesitates to take a position for a principle that he believes is right
 He has the wonderful knack of all ways coming out on top and winning the honor and esteem of the people. During his recent wanderings of almost two years expected more than once that he would say or do something that would bring him in dsfavor, make some spectacular mis- take that would discredit his growing popularity. Though he made one of the most spectacular tours of the great courts of Europe in the history of the world and was often outspoken in his criticism of foreign policies, he was always sustained and succeeded in winning and keeping the almost worshipng esteem of the people. His success has been marvellous. l feel sure that his popularity with the peo- pie Is lasting. He has already passed the crucial period of his career. He has been tried most severely and no other man In the history of the world has stood such a test more magnificently.
 "The career of MT. Roosevelt Is indeed the marvel of the age.

DEPUTY STARTS OUT
 TO CAPTURE NEGRO

When Deputy Sheriff Dave Kenny brook learned yesterday that the negro, Ed Easley, who wounded him Saturday had not been killed as he had thought. he immediatel arose from his bed tt St. Vincent's hospital, dressed and left the place. Going to the depot he caught the first train for Banner and went In search for the negro.
 Kennybrook was wounded in the hip once, while another bullet inflicted three wounds In the right breast and shoulder. The bullet grazed the bone in the shoulder. which paralyzed nts arm for the time being and he has not much use of 1t as yet.
 While his injuries were not regarded as very serious by the doctors on ac- count of his strong constitution, it Is feared that undue exposure and use of his arm may cause complications. Therefore, Sheriff Higdon has sent him word to keep quiet and to come back to the hospital. The deputy, however has determined to get the negro and judging by his past record 1t would not be surprising if he did. The negro was wounded at least one time in the chest.

 Maurice Willows, secretary or the Boys club was notified yesterday morning by the hotel authorities and upon investiga- ton he sent Horace and Louise to the Mercy Home MT Willows said last night: T do not believe that the woman will ever return for the children. She is from Atlanta as far as l can find out and believe has run away from Birming- ham with a man named Kreis.
 "A telegram was received yesterday from Chief Jennings of Atlanta. saying that a woman by the name of Stokes should be looked out for and arrested, and that she was probably with a man named Kreis here in Birmingham. "I am now trying to get in communi- cation with the womans husband and until l find out where he is or something else develops in the case, the children will be kept at the Mercy Home. I think the woman came here to see this man Krels and they discovered that they were being hunted for and left Birmingham immedi- ately and abandoned the children I am making every effort to locate either her or some of the childrens relatives and be- lieve that fin another day or two I will have a place for the children. At any rate, they will not be given back to the mother unless she proves she did not abandon them of her own will"

What Has Interested
 You Most During Day?'
Some of the Replies Made By Well Known Citizens When
 Asked This Question Yesterday

see any individual or institution like The Age-Herald work so faithfully to educate the people to a better appreciation oi good roads. then I feel as if persona favor had been shown me.
 tThe roads hereabouts are not bad. 1he Board of Revenue has acted pretty falrly with the road boosters, but great deal of work is yet to be performed.
 "In this fight I know of no single asen- cy that has been so valuable as the morn ing paper. For the past three or four years I have watched with keen interest the part played by The Age-Herald in the good roads movement, and to 1t more than any other single influence do l at- tribute the present system that we have. I wish every paper in this state would take up the fight with the zeal that has characterized The Age-Herald. In a measure they all have. But none of the papers has expressed such an impersonal and unselfsh interest in better highways as our morning paper.
 During the next few years the most engaging topic, and the most acute situa- tions in the body polite, are to result from good roads and the attendant trans portation over them. Unless the people are educated to an appreciation of them they cannot solve the questions of the fu- turp."

Ed York was shot in the abdomen last night at 10:4O o'clock in a rooming house at Third avenue and Fourteenth street. 1t is alleged by a woman named Mabel wilson. York is contractor for the Sloss company at Bessie mines. He was rushed to Soloman & Copeland's inf1rmary in an unconscious condition by Lige Loy's ann bulance Dr. Solomon said last night that he could see no chance for York's recov- cry.
 There are two stories of the shooting. York gained consciousness after his ar rival at the hospital and said himself that he did not know how 1t happened. The woman, Mabel wilson. said last night that the pistol went off while in her hands and the bullet struck York. but that the whole affair was an accident. She said that York thought he had unloaded the pistol when he gave 1t to her and she was snap ping it at him in play when a cartridge exploded and York fell to the floor mor- tally wounded.
 The police believe that the woman shot York in cold blood, and she was arrested and charged with assault with Intent to murder. She is now in the city jail. beini

GEO. WARD THINKS
 D|SPENSARY WILL SOLVE PROBLEM Believes Birmingham Should Never Again Return to
 the Open Saloon MORE BLIND TIGERS NOW THAN SALOONS BEFORE Revenues From Dispensary Should Be Used To Reduce Merchant Taxes
 and To Build Roads
 and Streets

Former Mayor George Ward Is In favor of giving the dispensary trial in Jeff ferson county. He passed through the fight for regulation of the liquor traffic in Birmingham, which eventually resulted in prohibition, and it was during his term that the sentiment against the low dive was aroused. In discussing the mat ter yesterday he said:
 'F rom the time that I made the fight for regulation of the liquor traffic be- fore the City Council to the present l have never believed that this problem here could be solved by prokiz don.
 Had the liquor people submitted to Birmingham would never have suffered from the trial of prohibition. But with this system there Is always the danger of drifting back to the dive and the den.
 Now that the saloon is a thing of the past, I do not think 1t should ever be permitted again. At present there are more blind tigers in Birmingham than are paying absolutely no licenses or taxes, and are sending Birmingham money away by the wholesale.
 ITO relieve this situation, the dispen- sary Is the ideal remedy. It will come with a modern, business-like city govern ment, the commission, and under the proper regulation should settle the agita- tion from which Birmingham must be relieved.
 The revenue from such a dspensary should, in my opinion, be applied for a few years to the relief of the financial condition of Birmingham. and part of It should continually serve to relieve the merchants of burdensome privilege taxes, but the bulk of it should go to the im- provement of county roads and streets.
 ''The road is the most important ave- nue of commerce, and this countys road system Is in great need of improvement. think the dispensary should be granted by the next legislature, provided 1t Is in- dorsed by the vote of the people in the county''

 FOR CONFERENCE
FOLEY OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL SAYS RECENT PROMINENCE OF RATE QUESTION HAS AFFECTED BUsI- NESS OF RAILROADS

T. J. Foley, assistant general manager of the Illinois Central railroad. and a party of divisional officers arrived in Bir- mingham yesterday.

The three roads to be represented are the Illinois Central. the Fl sco by A. D. Lightner and the Central Georgia
 MT. Foley was very much pleased to visit Birmingham again. He is from the Union Pacific railroad and has been In Birmingham only twice.
 "The railroads are fairly prosperous, said Mr. Foley. However. we believe if the recent rate question had not been so widely discussed the affairs of the railroads would have taken a better turn. We will manage to live. however. The roads are trying to do the best they can, and were 1t not for so much legislation we would soon be back to the bumper seasons of 1906-07
 Our business in Birmingham as well as elsewhere, is very good, and we ex- pect to furnish the best service in our power We are bidding for all legitimate business and will do everything possible to deserve it.'
 In speaking of the conference today, MT. Foley said
 "The Thomas yard situation is just this: We have a fine piece>of property out there and we are trying to find some way of using 1t. There should be no reason why the roads cannot get together on this proposition. We understand one another pretty well and a decision amicable to all parties interested will very probably result"
 Those accompanying MT. Foley are Su- perintendent J. J.. Gavan, Trainmaster Thomas OMally and General Superin- tendent Johnston of the Central of Geor- gia
 Those to take part in the conference in | clude MT. Foley, A. D. Hghtner of tho | Frisco. J. F. Hutchinson, general superin | tendent of the Frisco; E. F. Stovall O. the Illinois Central and MT.
