 STILL HAS CASE

Arguments in the W. T. Reynolds mnr- der trial were concluded yesterday after noon., Judge Weaver charged the jury and turned the case over to them, but at late hour last night they had failed to find a verdict and went to bed.
 The arguments lasted practically all day, and the little second division of the criminal courtroom was packed with an interested crowd, The defendant was greatly composed and sat near his wife and children. Close relatives of the man whom he killed were also present, sitting close by the prosecuting attorneys.
 Unless the jury arrives af verdict to- day they will probably be sent back to spend another night over it.

their side of the case before the law makers of our nation and present such facts and figures before the American people that will appeal to their American spirit of fair play. That will cause them to give us a square deal. Surely we can point out the part the railroad builder and employe has played in the civiliza- ton of the twentieth century, in the opening up and development of our coun- try. Surely we can point to them on the maps of the states the hundreds and thousands of miles of territory in our states that are yet unsettled, undevel- oped that stand in need of railroads, for the railroads are the advance agents of civilization and prosperity and as there are thousands of square miles of terri tory in the United States that contain untold wealth in mines, in coal and in timber. and millions of acres of land waiting for the intelligent farmer to cul- tivate and garner the cereals and prod ucts to sustain the lives of our people that are only waiting for the investors and builders of railroads and their em- ployes to develop and place within reach of the commercial marts of the world this vast treasure. .,t ,. .ss
 This, I believe, the American Railroad Employees and Investors can do in clear and logical manner that will appeal to our felow-citizens and forever put stop to this adverse legislation that has brought idleness and want into the homes of hundreds of thousands of laboring men.

With 90 present, and a display of more enthusiasm than has ever characterized the movement to promote new industries for Greater Birmingham, the committees and subscribers of the 800 club project met at the Chamber of Commerce yester- day afternoon.
 On account of the fact that many busi- ness men have been out of the city it was decided to reorganize the soliciting committees and jump into the remaining $50,000 stock with a determination to win. A number of those present signified their willingness to increase their subscrip- tions, but it was thought better to get as many interested as possible. May 1 was fixed as the date to organize the club.
 Every one is familiar with the project. Patriotic citizens are subscribing to the stock of the club which is divided into shares of s10o. not less than five nor more than 100 to be taken by any one indi- vidual 20 per cent payable each year.
 This money, under every possible safe guard, will be loaned to locating indus tries, who will thus be induced to come to Birmingham and will be aided in their special time of need.
 Three-fourths of the s20O,00O has been subscribed, and the committees appointed yesterday will meet at S:So D. n.. March II, when it is hoped that a good report may be made to the chamber.
 These committees are divided as fol- lows:

FIGHT IS
DEFERRED
Promoter Announces Post,
ponement in Order to
Test Law.

San Francisco, June 18.-Attor-
neys for Louis Blot, promoter OF the
Langford-Kaufman fight, announced
a postponement of the fight for one
week, or until Saturday, June 25th.
The right of the governor to inter-
fere will be tested in the courts in
the meantime. Blot said he will put
on a fight of third raters Monday
to force the governor to interfere
with This troops" A legal battle
then will ensue and Blot says the
decision will be forthcoming within
4S hours in his favor.
When informed of Blot's plans
the governor stated to the Associa-
ted Press over the long distance
phone from San Francisco that Blot
could meet with no interference In
conducting boxing contest, but that
boxing contests had nothing to do
with prize fighting. This is taken
to indicate that the governor would
not attempt to prevent Blot's show
between third raters until it became
prize fight and that the promoters
plan to throw the issue into court
will not materialize.

FELL FROM TRAIN;
KILLED
Coroner Saunders Investi
eating Death of italian
at ChiWaukum.

County Conorer Saunders return
ed last night from Chiwaukum where
he went to investigate into the death
OF an Italian. The circumstances of
the killing are as follows:
No. s, the work train, had backed
into a siding at Chiwaukum, to al
low the passage of another train.
While waiting on the sidetrack the
foreman of the construction work in
structed the laborers to measure up
some of the rail steels on one of
the cars. The ordinary steel is 80
feet long, but some odd lengths are
usually carried in construction to be
used on curves. The conductor of
the train decided that he would back
his train to the water tank and take
on water. This order was communi-
Gated to the foreman and the fore
man in turn to the interpreter, who
told the Italian laborers. The train
men always have difficulty in in
ducing the laborers to sit down
while the train is in motion. When
the train started up one of the TIA
lians lost his balance in trying to
break his fall, struck one of his
companions and the two fell from
the end of the train, one of them
striking on the draw head and the
other one falling between the train
and the wheels passed over his neck
severing the head from the body.
Coroner Saunders was at once no.
titled and with Undertaken May went
to the scent of the accident. The
dead man was brought to this city
last night and will be inferred in the
Wenatchee cemetery.

Laying is Completed.

Percy Scheble, who is promoting
the baseball excursion to Waterville
tomorrow, says that he was talking
with the manager of the Waterville
baseball team this morning and was

trip. Many ladies are going and
the return trip will be made early

o'clock Roosevelt transferred from
the steamer to the revenue cutter
Manhattan where he was welcomed
by a number of friends, relatives,
and Capt. Archibald w. Butt, repre-
senting President Taft. Shortly af-
ter this he transferred to the cutter
Androscoggin which took him as
far as 59th street North River and
down to the Battery where he was
officially welcomed by Mayor Gay
nor.
Theodore Roosevelt set foot on
American soil at 1855 o'clock. He
stepped from the revenue cutter An
droscoggin at the Battery and walk
ed to his place on the speakers stand
accompanied by Mayor Gaynor.
Pandemonium broke loose when
the great throngs of people ashore
and afloat discerned the former pres
ident and his family on deck of the
big steamship. Guns were fired,
flags dipped and thousands of whis-
ties blew to the accompaniment of
the cheering of thousands of people
who had gathered in New York to
give welcome to Roosevelt.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
Congressman Nicholas Longworth,
his son-in-law, and Captain Butt
were welcomed by the Colonel on
board the Kaiserin in his stateroom.
Then the cutter Manhattan came
alongside carrying Archie and QUEEN
tin and Theodore, Jr., and finacee,
Miss Eleanor Alexander. Mrs. Roo
sevelt was first down the gang plank
and there was kissing and hugging
good to behold as she clasped her
loved ones In her arms, and then
came the Colonel with flying leap
from the Kaiserin to the deck OF
the Manhattan, and then another

Then followed more salutes from
war vessels and then came the wa
ter parade, and finally came the
transfer to the Androscoggin and
the water parade which gave delight
to hundreds of thousands of persons
who witnessed it. As the defile
reached the lower end of Manhat-
tan, every craft afloat and every
factory ashore put its enthusiasm
into steam and let loose a pande-
monium such as is heard but once
in a year, the midnight of December
31st.
