THOMPSON CASE DELAYED Unique situation Arises When Case Ii
 Called in Criminal Court

When the case of R. w. Thompson, who is charged with the killing of Ebert W. Robertson came up in the criminal court yesterday, a rather unusual state of af- fairs arose.
 Allen & Bell, attorneys for the de- fendant. announced that they were ready for trial. Assistant Solicitor John Me Queen also announced that the state was ready for the hearing of the case. A few moments afterward Solicitor H. P. Hef1in, who had handled the previous preliminary trial, appeared in the court room and requested Judge Fort to con tinue the case until the next term of court. By way of explanation for this request Mir Hsfin stated that Assistant Solicitor Aird had been assigned by him 10 try this case. Through some nlisun- dering Mir. Aird had not taken the case up end it was left to Mir. Mcqueen whom MT. Hefin stated was not familiar with the case. For this reason he asked for a continuance.
 This case has attracted attention by the popularity. both of the defendant and the deceased, and the circumstances con- nected with the killing of Robertson Thompson is at liberty, having been granted bail short time after the kill ing nearly two years ago.

Reed, express messenger, left hand injured; E. L.

 Sheriff Higdon said last night that his son, Lee Higdon. was not sufficiently injured to detain him from proceeding on his pleasure trip to the west Sheriff Higdon received telegram from the son last night which said he was all right and his parents need not worry about him.
 Reports were received in Birmingham that young Higdon, although painfully hurt, wriggled loose from the wreck and, seizing a fire extinguisher, did heroic work in helping to prevent the wrecked train from burning up and finally be- came unconscious from his efforts.
 The officials of the railroad are greatly puzzled over the cause of the wreck. The train left the rails but only two no tangible clew to the cause of the de- railment, but detectives of the company are working on the case.

LEWIS WILL VETO
 NEW ORDINANCE
Bessemer Mayor Disapproyes Fee AL
 lowed for Conducting Water Works Iftix ixation-General News

Bessemer March 2.-(Special. )-Mayor I. A. Lewis has announced his intention of vetoing the ordinance passed by the council last night authorizing the special water works committee to employ E. D. Smith in the water works litigation, his fee to be $15oo if the city is successful. This is the third ordinance that has been vetoed in connection with the water works purchase. It will be remembered that both the ordinance passed for the purchase and that providing for the is- suance of bonds were carried over the veto of the mayor and 1t is very proba- ble that this one will be also. In this event the mayor will refuse to pay the fee. This would bring about an interest ing situation and it is matter for much speculation as to how the council Will get around the mayors action.
 Charles Breen, the white man who was recently bound over to the grand jury without bond on charge of highway robbery and burglary, will probably be sent to a private sanitorium by his rela- tives. Mayor Lewis has agreed not to press the prosecution provided this is done, and 1t is probable that the case against him will be dropped.
 There was quite stir in Bessemer yes terday over the new annual net income tax for all corporations. A large number did not know that such a report had to be filed and were in trouble yesterday afternoon trying to find blanks and file the report with the internal revenue col lector in Birmingham.

BIG FEE IS DISCUSSED
In Appearing Before the House Com- mittee on Public Lands He Made Statement Which He Tries to
 Correct But Fails

Washington, March 2.-Senator Jeffer- son Davis of Arkansas failed today in an effort to have stricken from the records of the House committee on public lands statement which he had made before the committee several days ago, when he appeared there in advocacy of bill in- troduced by Representative Oldheld of Arkansas. quitting title to about 100000 acres of swamp lands in the eastern part of Arkansas. known as Sunk Lands.
 Senator Davis statement was to the effect that he was to receive a fee for his services as attorney for the St. Fran cs levee board, in litigation in connecti n with the lands. The lands in dispute are claimed by the St. Francis leyee board and by the United States government in part.
 It had been admitted by Senator Davis that he was the attorney for the St. Francis levee board of the state of Ar kansas, which claimed title to the lands under a state grant and he brought suit against a number of persons who had cut timber on the lands The land was sold in many cases for sl.50 per acre, but the timber was reported .o be worth from BIO to S25 per acre.
 In his first appearance before the com mittee the records showed that Senator Davis made the following statement:
 We could not prove our title. I con fess that there is just that much of sell fshness in 1t to me, because there is good fee if I can recover the price of that timber I don't >are who it goes n xybatber if Tn nf Arkan- sas or the St. Francis levee board, but would rather 1t should so to the St. Francis levee board, because that is just and right
