TICALLY AGREE ON ALL DETAILS
FOR MAKING THE CHANGE

vail. general agent of the Illinois Central,
and T. s. Noise, general manager of the

under which the occupancy would take
place. and reached an agreement except
as to one or two details. These will be
taken up by W. c. Nixon, vice president
and general manager Of the Frisco, and II
agreeable the removal will take place at

consumed in fixing up the remaining de-
tails. :.
I with this long talked-of occupancy it
is claimed the grade crossing danger at
Ninth avenue and Nineteenth street and
Ninth avenue and Twentyfourth street
will be reduced to a bare minimum.

which there will be fight in the
courts.

RUBEN F. KOLB WILL AID

Reuben F. Kolb, the nominee of the
democratic party for commissioner OF ag-

of the agricultural department of the
Alabama state fair, and will immedl-

rangements with Mr.. Kolb over the tele-
phone.
His influence and the stimulating eff

campaigns, notably the fight against
the new county.
"In accepting this craftsmanship" he
said last night, Il do so with the de-
sire to see a business man at the
head of the city government during
the trying period which is ahead OF
us. Mr.. Exum has long been a friend
of mine, and has always proven his
ability in an emergency. I consider
him the man for the place and believe
that he is an easy winner"
Considerable interest centers in the
speaking at East Lake tomorrow night
Jere King has promised to give the
voters something to think about. Al
his invitation the other candidates may
appear, although Mr.. Exum stated yes
terday that he did not seek any clash
with Mr.. KING or anyone else

any variety of candidates The big
xest man in the race is Kirk Moore
for police commissioner. who weight
over 800 pounds, fills up the whole

william Tye

William Tye. a pioneer resident Of
Birmingham, and an old Confederate
soldier. died last night at his residence,
I'll Emma avenue, at the age of II years.
Mr.. Tye was very we'll known in Bir-
mingham and all over this part OF the
country. He came to Birmingham 80
years ago, taking up his residence on
Emma avenue, where he has resided ever
since. He followed the plasterers trade
and was contractor in that line of
work.
Mr.. Tye was born in 1889 at Marietta,
Ga. He went from Georgia to Tennessee,
where he lived for some time, and where
he enlisted In the Confederate army at
the outbreak of the Civil War. He was
a bugler in Colonel Cheatham's regi-
ment of the Tennessee Lookout Guards,
and did himself great honor in many
of the hardest fought battles of the war.
While in Tennessee he met and married
Miss Rebecca Smith Of Maury county,
Tennessee. who, with one daughter. Mrs.
w. H. Lynn of Birmingham, survives
him. Mr. Tye retired from active bus
mess several years ago and had been at
tackled by spells Of illness for some time.
The funeral services will be held at
the residence this afternoon at o'clock

would shortly be resumed.
1t is stated in addition that no serious

reason of the unfortunate explosion.
Palos mine which also suffered an ex-

A certificate of amendment of charter
filed yesterday In the probate court office
by the Bessemer Water Works company
provides that the charter of that COM
pany be amended so as to make the cor
porate existence perpetual. This action
of the company is interesting in the light
of the recent negotiations looking to the
sale of the Bessemer water works plant
to the city of Bessemer. 1t is equivalent
to statement that the company will not
in the future consider offers for purchase
of the plant. Morris Adler Is president
of the company.
