 FOR DEATH OF MIR. PARROTT
BY CLYDE w. ENNIS

The death in Atlanta last night of s. F. Parrott was received here in industrial and railroad circles with a great deal of regret. He was co-reeeiver with Harry M.

Att lSinson when the financial troubles of the company began two years ago.

This plan is now assuming definite shape. It has agreed to connect with the Allan ta Birmingham and Atlantic. During his connection with the first named railroad he shouldered this suggestion and when later, with the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic he manifested a great deal of interest in the proposed line.
 He was prior to his connection with the Georgia Southern and Florida work pres ident of the Macon and Savannah rail- road In other railroad ventures in the south he was actively and extensively identified. He has always maintained that Birmingham and Atlanta were more than sister cities and should pull to- gether for the general good. He was In Birmingham not so very long ago With Harry M Atkinson on an inspection trip. At that time he manifested the same de-

 Your trustees further report that 1t has come to their attention that an er- TOT was made in the deed conveying the property of the Greek Church of the Holy Trinity of Birmingham, and that they have taken the proper steps to have the mistake corrected.
 They do not feel that they are at fault in any wise in this matter. as the at torney who drew the deed was probably the best conveyancer in the city, being the Hon. W. c. Ward, lately deceased. There was no mistake in the resolution passed by the Simpson Methodist church, as 1t provided for the sale Of lots and g. of block 14s, the property delivered to- owned and possessed by us. But the deed conveyed lot 10 Instead of lot g, although the property is otherwise correctly de- scribed.
 We are advised by our attorney, who is in charge of the correction of the mistake, that we are entitled as matter of law to have this mistake corrected And we have approached the trustees of the said Methodist church, and it7is mu- tualIy agreeable to all parties that they convey us the correct property and that we auit-claim to them the lot which was incorrectly conveyed to us. A proper resolution will be offered to you to carry this into effect.

FOREIGNER DEATH
 BROUGHT ON CASE
UNIQUE SITUATION ARISES FROM DEATH OF AUSTRIAN AT ENsLEY AND THE RESULTANT SETTLE MENT WITH AN AUNT

The announcement has been made that the case of Graham Perdue, ad- ministrator, against the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, which was decided for the defendant Tn the federal court last week, would be appealed to the circuit court of appeals.
 The case has developed into one of the most intricate legal battles and one of the most unique cases originat- ing from the many great industrial plants in the Birmingham district. ~ Ignatz Padreberac, an Austrian of good lineage came to Chicago about four years ago from his home in Austria. He soon became skilled steel worker and when John Maher & Co.,, started to construct a large iron mixer at the Ensley steel plant he was sent here to assist. He was one of a crew of seven. The work was started and 1t is claimed one day several tons of motion metal dropped on the Austrian from height of 30 feet. He was burned to death.
 Immediately thereafter Robert Leatherwood, a local attorney, went to the company and settled the case for $500, claiming that the man was named Mike Borden and that an aunt, A Mrs. Sofia Houser, had empowered him to compromise the case. He swore in the federal court that $500 was re ceiyed. He testified that ha secured one-third of this sum, while the aunt got the remainder.
 The case ended for the time being at that stage.
 However, Frank Padreberac, a broth or was advised by another brother in Austria to look up the missing one. He started on his hunt in Chicago, where he was told how his brother met his death.
 He started out seeking further in- formation. He was sent to Jere King, an attorney of Birmingham, who, after looking into the case, filed suit against the Tennessee company. It was claimed by the company that the case had been settled by the payment of the $500 The attorneys for Graham Perdue, ad- ministrator, claimed that such per son was not the one who died and went into the trial.
 It was sworn by MT. Leath herwood that the aunt had received the money after he recovered it; that she was his client but that she had never been seen by him since. He also testified that he did not have her address,
 Mir. King says the relatives of the dead man are extremely well to do in Austria and that every effort will be made to determine everything in con- nection with his death.
 The case will be carried to the court of appeals at once.

 MT. Sevier, it was stated, will be in conference today in Meridian with D. D. Curran. president and general manager of the New Orleans & Northeastern.

 It was given out yesterday that, in view of the fact that the shipping in- terests may anticipate some trouble to traffic by the strike. 1t should be under stood that no such affect would be real ized in Birmingham
 It was stated that a sufficient number of men were on hand to handle business and that every effort would be made to carry on the work without any delays.
 The clerks who have caused the trou- ble are trying to get a raise In wages paid, better hours of work and an under standing as to the hours of work on holi- days. The clerks were organized into a union several months ago. which was perfectly agreeable to the officials.

Charles J. Allison, clerk of the federal court. probably this afternoon o. D. Street. United States district attorney, stated yesterday that he was working on the answer to be filed and was endeavoring to get 1t in shape for filing soon.
 The answer of the government in the grocers' case Is expected to deal very pointedly with the many allegations of the government against the association. which were strenuously denied by the as- sociation In its aliswcr
 The federal officers have been inyesti- gatinS some of the answers contained in the suit and developments of an interest Ing nature are expected when the answer of MT. Street is filed with the court
 The federal government seeks through process of dissolution to declare the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association illegal, operated in restraint of inter- state commerce and in violation of the sherman antitrust law. The government some time ago filed the process in the federal court In few weeks the asso- citation. through Attorneys Caruthers, EWfng ana Gen. Luke E. Wright cOun- sel for the association, filed an answer to the bill.
 The answer of the association denied in toto the allegations of the govern ment and charged that the suit had been based upon transformation, and con- ceived through misleading reports made the government by agents of the service The answer to this. which will be filed by Mir. Street, will take up and specifi- cally dissect all of the answers made by the association.
 Mir. Street said yesterday that as soon as the grocers had been given time to read the answer of the government in the case, an application would be made to Judge William l. Grubb for the ap- pointment of a special master to take the testimony in the case. The master will be empowered to go to any or all the cities in which the defendants reside and secure their sworn testimony as to the operations of the Association.
 Unless the attorneys make some recom- mendations which cannot be ignored by the court, Judge Grubb will appoint J. T. Glover, a wel-known lawyer, as the examiner. It is possible that one, two or three additional examiners may be appointed.
 When the government concludes its tes- timony, the defense will apply for an examiner to take their side of the case. 1t is probable that six or eight months will be consumed in taking the testimony of both sides
