M'CROSSIN WILL
AID AT REUNION
Birmingham Man VIII BE in Charge
of Formation of Parade as Gen.
eral Harrison's Aide

Capt. E. J. MeCrossin of Birmingham
has done most of the work outlining the
great Confederate parade for the reunion
at Mobile, and will be in active charge
of the formation and procedure of the
parade as an aide to Gen. George P. Har-
rison.
II have been in close touch with the
preparations for the reunion said Cap
tain McCrossin yesterday, "and L believe
that Mobile will acquit herself well. We
all know that Mobile is one of the most
beautiful of southern cities, and is cap
able of doing anything. The fact that
the reunion comes earlier should make 1t
possible for the veterans to enjoy them
selves with very little discomfort.
MANY a veteran has an ambition to
see the Mardi Gras festival, and not one
who is able to travel should stay at
home'

MAYOR O'BRlEN is HAPPY
OVER ELECTION RESULT

"I am the happiest man in Birming-
ham," said Mayor Frank p. O'Brien
after the total returns from the 16
wards showed the 100000 bond issue
to have been authorized by an over
whelming vote of six to one. The
Mayor was almost worn out and tho
perspiration was beaded upon his
brow. He had been rushing about all
day from poll to poll, encouraging tho
workers for the issue. The little OPP
position which had arisen against the
issue during the last few days of the
campaign had worried Captain Frank"
considerably, it being impossible for
him to understand how anyone could
display such apparent lack of COM
mon sense and business judgment as
to oppose the paying of the city's debts

and cutting down of the interest &C
count.
1T is a great source of pleasure
to me-" continued the Mayor, ito find
that the people of Birmingham have
shown their Judgment and public spirit
in authorizing the issue. This $780,
900 bond issue means so much to
Greater Birmingham, in fact, the whole
Birmingham district, that I couldn't
bear to think of it being defeated
What a horrible thing it would have
been for Birmingham to have default
ed the payment of interest on it's debts
and to have been forced to pay its
employees in scrip! This is what would
have certainly occurred had the peo-
pie of Birmingham refused to have the
issue. But now 1 am glad; very, very
glad"

all sorrow and disappointment and sin,
Shut In forever to love and truth and
holiness"
DR.. Thacker read letter he had re-
ceived some time before. written to him
by man who had been a great sinner
and a great sufferer, and had been led
to Christ in his church in Norfolk; in
which letter the man spoke of what
Christ had meant to him. and the light
and joy and hope after all the long dark
ness and trouble and sin
lie closed his sermon with very ten
de- and earnest appeal Mr.. Fisher sang
what was perhaps his most beautiful and
moving solo thus far. The interest
throughout the congregation was very
deep and a profound impression was
made. Many cards were signed and
handed to the ushers.

Haran Trial Postponed-The trial of
Joseph Haran, white man, charged
with passing a bogus check, was post
poned yesterday In police court until
Wednesday. 1t is alleged that Haran
attempted to pass check to his land
lady, Mrs. Arthur Gledhill, 721 North
Twenty-first street, for room rent. Mrs.
Gledhill went to the bank twice to
cash the check and both times the
cashier said that Haran had no account
with them. The real cause of Harau's
arrest was the disappearance of O
e400 diamond brooch belonging to Mrs.
Gledhill. Suspicion pointed to Mr..
Haran but he denies that he knows
anything about the brooch and that
part of the case will probably be
dropped on account of the lack of evil
dence. He was arrested while in bed
yesterday morning by Officers Drake
and Williams.

THINK THEY ARE
VERY BAD LOT

On suspicion of having stolen a
bicycle and of being sneak thieves,
Anderson and Tom Jackson,
brothers, saM to be brothers of the
notorious Jackson who was lynched
by a mob of Missoula citizens sew
eral years ago, are now held in the
city prison.
Anderson Jackson is 35 years of
age, while Tom says he is 81. 1t is
alleged by the police that they
stole a bicycle during the week,
which they sold to a secondhand
man named Collard for 81. The
information that the men are kin
to the Missoula man who was
lynched following brutal assault
on a young boy at Missoula, comes
from Detective Hogan. The pris-
oners gave their birthplace as
Montana.

The story of the downfall of
Marion Orr as told in court was
not a pleasant one. Her home was
in the suburb of Dorchester, and
she was little more than a child
when she met Wood. She was I'M
sophisticated and foolish. She al
lowed a woman who knew Wood S
ways to introduce her to him on the
street. In few days, she told the
jury, Wood proposed to her.
Then he asked Marion to go to
his room to lunch. She said she
trusted him. because she knew she
was engaged to him. l,
After that he denied that he had
promised to marry her. He would
do nothing for her or the baby,
and she sued for $4,000 damages
for breach of promise and $4,000
for the assault in his room.

Howard Elliott, president of the
Northern Pacific, will be in and

He is against insisting on terminal
rates in the franchises of the North
Coast and Milwaukee, and says
that it can not be done. He sug-
gests that the fight before the In
terstate Commerce Commission be
continued.
He conveys a little bad news for
his would-be competing lines, how
ever, by saying that they can not
enter Spokane over the Hill roads
and that the others are too busy
to care for them. That if the new
roads are to come in it must be
over their own lines.

WALKER HAS
A FINE TIME

Edward Walker, laborer en-
plOyed by the Great Northern rail
way company, returned from work
to his room at Third avenue and
Howard street this morning, and
fell through window in the rear
of the house, cutting himself
frightfully about the right hand and
wrist with broken glass.
Walker was taken to the emer
gency hospital where it is said he
was suffering mostly from a "cry-
ing jag although his wounds were
bleeding profusely. He fought like
a crazy man with Stewards Dare
and Milburn until it was neces-
sary to tie him to his cot.
Even when tied, the injured man
was so restless that it was impos-
sible to dress his injured hand un-
til he became sober, several hours
after he was brought in. 1t was
at first thought that tendons had
been cut by the broken glass, but
the wounds are not now thought
to be serious.

there was little time to discover
