PLANT BOUGHT BY
OZO-OLO COMPANY

It was announced last night that the
Ozo-Olo Bottling company, makers of
a new and popular soft drink. had pur-
chased for a cash consideration the plant
of the Oldham Worcester Bottling COM
pany.
The officers of the former company give
as their reason for the purchase rapid
increases in business which called for
expansion. Since opening up for bust
ness here 1t is stated that the orders re-
ceived have far outstripped the output OF
the plant, and to obviate any delay in fill
ing rapidly accommodating orders the ex-
pansion was agreed upon.
]. e. Moody, president of the Ozo-Olo
company, said last night that the de-
mand for the beverage was decidedly brisk
and has been ever since the drink was
introduced In Birmingham. 1t is planned
to make engagements in the plant and
keep pace with the growth of the bust
ness.
The company is managed by party of
experienced business men who have ham
died the new company very skilfully and
wisely throughout the summer. The ac-
emulation of a new plant and other
properties would indicate that their man
agement has been based along conserva-
tive and safe lines. The officers of the
company are: ]. 2. Moody, president; J.
w Moody, vice president; r. A. Lewis,
treasurer; G. N. Hurlburton, secretary;

TWO CRANES HELD
WITHOUT BAIL

The preliminary trial of Thomas Is.
Crane and his son, Walter Crane.
charged with the killing of S. W. Wynn
at Seloca, near Warrior, on the after
noon of July 81, resulted in the two
being bound over without bail to await
the action of the grand jury.
The case came up yesterday before
Inferior Judge H. B. Abernethy and
was settled without hearing, the de-
cision being reached after a consulta-
ton between the attorneys for defense
and prosecution. w. A. Crane and
Luther Crane, two other sons who were
believed to have been connected with
the killing now have no case against
them, Judge Abernethy formally dis
charging them yesterday.
The killing of Wynn is said to have
been the result of an old family feud
between the Cranes and Wynns. On
the day of the shooting Crane and his
three sons were looking for Luther
Ragland, who, 1T seems, found refuge
in Wynn's house. On Wynn's refusal to
give him up to them the Cranes opened
fire and Wynn was killed.
On warrant sworn out by W. A.
Crane Immediately after the prelim-
mary trial yesterday. Ragland was ar
rested on a charge of assault with in
tent to murder T. B. Crane. He made
bond to the extent of $500 and was re-
leased. He was not placed under ar
rest until after the trial, serving as a
witness in the case.

GADSDEN PLANTS TO
RESUME SEPTEMBER IS
Bowron Discusses the Com
pany's Plans
IRON TONE rs STRONGER
The Furnace Mt Alabama City VIII Be
Put in Operation as Soon as the
Present supply of Basic
Is Exhausted

One of the most convincing Indications
that industrial business is improving in
this district was the announcement yes
terday afternoon by James Bowron, vice
president and treasurer of the Southern
Iron and Steel company. that three OPEN
hearth furnaces, the blooming mill and
battery OF 60 coke ovens will resume
operations about September 10.
Mr.. Bowrop ted further that the fur
mace at Alabama City would be re-lghtea
as soon as the basic metal at the plant
in Gadsden was used up. He is of the
opinion that the iron market is stronger
at this time and from now on will stead
lily improve.
The rumor was current here yesterday
that this company had secured quite a
large sum of additional English money
with which to make further extensions
and upon which to operate. President
Hassinger referred questioners to Mr.
Bowron, who said that at this time he
did not care to make any statement in
regard to money matters
when 1 talk money!" said Mr.. Bow
ron, 't is with the bark on. I would
not care to make any premature an
nouncement."
In speaking of his other announcement
Mr.. Bowron said
I'VE have been using up our stock Of
billets at the plant and the stock is rum
ming low. Therefore, we will resume
three of our five open hearth furnaces
and the blooming mill about September
15. The basic metal supply is rather
high yet but we think we will resume
the furnace at Alabama City about Mo-
vember 1. The battery of coke ovens at
Trussvle will be resumed about the same
time as the open-hearth. We have been
using up the stock of coke until we must
make some more.
Il think the iron market is very much
better While no advance in the quota
tons have been MADE, I think the tone
stronger. 1t will improve every week
now until the fall trade looms up. There
Is nothing to excite industrial interests

Is little political uncertainty and rest
lessness. but that will soon pass and we
will be in fine shape

SPECIAL TRAINS
OF EXCURSIONISTS

TERDAY - vACATIoNIsTs WILL
SOON BE RETURNING

The special train chartered by the Bir-
mingham lodge of Eagles left Birming-
ham yesterday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
bound for the grand aerie meeting, which
will convene in st. Louis tomorrow.
The train was operated by the Frisco
system and carried about rs members
of the local lodge. The members were
supplied with five Pullman cars, one diner
and one chair car. The train was oper-
ated on a schedule that was unprece-
dented in railroad operations of the south.
1t was planned to place the train in st.
Louis this morning at 1880 o'clock and
every indication is that this schedule
was maintained.
The Frisco and illinois Central shared
very well in the excursion trains yes
terday. The Frisco operated second
section to the Southeastern limited that
departed at 1920 o'clock. The crowds
were very large and the returns were
about what had been estimated by the
Frisco attaches. The Illinois Central oper-
ated the regular Seminole limited and
special section to this train. The Illinois
Central traffic totaled about IA extra cars
filled with people who have taken adj
vantage of cheap rates to visit st. Louis
and Chicago.
The Queen and Crescent route handled
quite a few passengers to the two prfn-
cipal points, but the Louisville and Nash
Vile ran five specials through Birming-
ham last night. The people carried were
not from Birmingham or Alabama. They
came from New Orleans and other south
ern points en- route to st. Louis and Chi
cago. The trains were operated as sec
tons to regular train No. that de-
parts from this city at s:45 o'clock p. m.
In all the vast number of special trains
and extra heavy travel which have fea-
tured operations for the past week there
has not been one accident reported. The
travellers will be returning within a few
days. The railroads announce that spe-
cial care will be exercised to bring the
travellers home as safely and quickly as
they were carried to their vacation

In discussing political affairs on his re-
turn from the east, Joseph O. Thompson
made 1t plain that he will be a candidate
for governor, and declared that if Theo-
dore Roosevelt wants the nomination in
1912 he can have it.
1t may be regarded as a settled fact
that Mr. Thompson will accept the nomi-
nation of the republican party and make
the canvass for governor in Alabama.
THE national party leaders were very
glad that I was going to stand for cleo
tion." said Mr.. Thompson in discussing
the matter, and when asked If he would
be permitted to make the race and main
tain his place as internal revenue collec-
tor he said that his is an entirely differ
ent case from that of Mr.. Clayton, as
when Mr.. Clayton resigned to make the
race for Congress his position was ju-
dicial one. There is more reason
why I should resign than that those state
officers in Alabama who are holding their
own state offices and running for election
to other offices on the democratic ticket
should resign" said Mr.. Thompson.
There was no little significance In Mr.
ThoInpson's visit to Mr.. Roosevelt. While
he refuses to discuss it, It is a fact that
he went to Oyster Bay, among other
things, to assure Mr.. Roosevelt that If he
wants the nomination in 1912 he can count
on the south, and incidentally, the Ala.
bama delegation.
This is evidenced by the following in
terview with Mr.. Thompson which ap-
peared in the New York Sun of August
10. and when it was shown to him yester-
day he verified it in substance: "A day
of activity always suits Colonel Roose-
welt. Early In the morning he greeted J.

executive committee, and nominee for

the tabernacle erected on the lawn of
]. B. Wadsworth at Fountain Heights
will be held this morning. this afternoon
and tonight.
With the service THIS evening at 8
o'clock the revival will come to a close,
and will probably go on record as the
greatest series of meetings of its kind
in local church history. Large crowds
have been in attendance at all the morn
ing services, and the tabernacle has been
filled to overlooking at practically every
evening service.
So great have been the crowds of visi-
tors from other districts of the city that
special cars were put on the Fountain
Heights line for their accommodation by
the street railway company. Twenty
nine meetings will have been held at the
close of the revival tonight, and 1t is es-
timated that at least 10000 people have
heard the Rev. ], O. Hanes preach during
the meeting.
The morning service today will start
at II o'clock. This afternoon another
.'love-feast" will be held, that of last
Sunday afternoon having proved great
success The meeting will begin at $3.50
o'clock. The final meeting of the revival
will be held tonight at o'clock and an

Mr. Thompson was recently nominated
for governor in his state by the republi-

for his presence in Oyster Bay. He comes

to stop off in Birmingham, and he may
accept the invitation on his trip next
March. The congenial candidate side
stepped the question as to what he thinks
about the breach between Roosevelt and
Taft, but he told this story: An old darby
servant devoted to General Jackson wait
ed on him in the generals last hours, and
right after the generals death some one
asked Rastus If he thought Jackson
would go to heaven. IT don't know,
boss" said Rastus, "if he'll go fer sure,

That said Mr.. Thompson, expresses
exactly my feelings toward Colonel
Roosevelt. If the colonel wants to be
President again., he can be. It's up to
him. The south feels that way at any

further questioned yesterday. THE ac-

Mr. Roosevelt is stronger in New York
with the people than all the committees"
Asked If he understood why the dis
patch was sent out that Col. Emmett
O'Neal was with him at Oyster Bay, Mr..
Thompson stated that there was no ex-
cuse for 1t. He imagined that some re-
porter had heard that the nominee for
governor in Alabama was there, and had
not taken time to remember that there
were two nominees.

messages sent in code form by the
firm. Identification of some messages
was made by G. T. Cooke of the West

Mr.. Jackson stated that the Postal
