BIRMINGHAM SURE
TO GET THE CHIEFS
BODEkER is NOTIFIED THAT At
LANTIC CITY HAS WITHDRAWN
AND FoRMALITY OF VOTING is
ALL THAT REMAINS.

Birmingham has about landed the con-
vention of the International Association
of Chiefs of Police. Chief Bodeker is in
receipt of letters from Chief Richard
sylvester of washington, president of the
association advising that Atlantic City
has withdrawn its invitation and that
Birmingham now has no competitor.
The matter will have to be put to a vote
OF the directors, but Mr.. Sylvester, in
a personal letter to Mr.. Bodeker. states
his belief that this will be a mere formal
ity in arriving at the decision to meet in
Birmingham.
Should the chiefs decide to come here
they will probably come in May, the rule
being to hold the conventions in June
when the meeting place is in the north
and in May when held in the south on ac-
count of the climate. Should they come to
Birmingham they Will meet with royal en-
tertainment Chief Bodeker is laying his
plans to Guido any entertainment which
other cities have given the chiefs, and
hundreds of his friends among the BUSH
ness men of Birmingham have assured
him without solicitation ON his part that
they would assist him in entertaining the
visitors

STOUTLY DENIES THAT HE EVER

HIS MoTHER-HUSBAND is RE-
SPiTED AGAIN.

Sheriff Minor of Atlanta arrived in Bir-
in charge Frank Britton, the young man
who was arrested by local detectives
few days ago on the strength of a state
ment of Frank Crowley of Admission that
the young man was guilty of the mur-
der of his own mother and whose hus-
band, George Burge, is under sentence
of death in Georgia for the crime
Britton was taken to Atlanta yesterday
afternoon, returning there without requl-
sition papers. 1t was upon his evidence
leaving yesterday he again reiterated the
statement that Burge was guilty and
denied that he had ever made a con-
fession to Crowley.
another respite of six days for George
Burge, who was to have been hanged
In Atlanta today This makes the third
respite.
Adyices have been received from An
niston to the effect that Crowley now
states that he was only talking when
he gave out the information which led
to the making of the affidavit charging
Britton with having confessed to hav-
ing committed the crime.
Frank Sykes of Admission, father of the
murdered woman, was In Birmingham
yesterday and accompanied Sheriff
Minor and Britton to Atlanta.

N. W. HOWARD Is
STILL INDEPENDENT
FORT PAYNE MAN SAYS HE is NOT
SUPPORTING ANYONE FOR CON-
GRESs AND WOULD NOT ENTER
PARTISAN PRIMARY.
o the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herad:
/ have seen it stated in print several
times of late that l am going to support
a. certain candidate for Congress in the
democratic primary.
had thought that my position for years
as an independent in politics was so well
known in Alabama that no one would sup
pose for a. moment that l would partici-
pate in a partisan primary.
That there may be no mistake about it,
I want to put at rest the question as to
whether l will participate in the primary.
l would lose my selfrespect if l attempted
to sail under false colors, and | am sure
that l would forfeit the confidence and
esteem of my friends.
The principles for which l stand and
have stood for years are well known.
Gradually they are being adopted by both
the republican and democratic parties,
and l expect to live to see the day
when these principles will be enacted into
law.
would not swerve from an honest con-
viction to hold any office, nor would l
practice a deception in politics any more
than l would in business.

J. L. Robinson Charged With
Serious Crime at Pratt City
Yesterday Afternoon
SHERIFF OUTWlTS MOB
GOING C}0SS COUNTRY
Report Reaches Birmingham That
Number of Angry Citizens Had Gone
To Ashville, Where They Thought
Prisoner Was Taken.

J. l.. Robinson of Pell City, a shoe
maker by trade, was lodged in the coun-
ty Jail here last night on a charge of
attempted criminal assault after having
been spirited away from the st. Clair
county city by officers who successfully
evaded an agry mob which was crying
for Robinson's lifeblood
The crime with which Robinson is
charged was, from all accounts, one of
repulsive circumstances. His victim, the
little 4-year-old daughter of Mark Jones
of Pell City, is in a serious condition II
her life is not in danger.
The crime occurred in a house in the
heart of Pell City yesterday afternoon
shortly after . o'clock and Robinson is
said to have abused the little girl woeful-
ly. When the child's father learned the
circumstances of the case he summoned
officers and Robinson was arrested short
ly afterward by Deputy Sheriff J. G..
Fulmer.
Robinson was carried to the st. Clair
Jail where he was imprisoned. Yester-
day afternoon shortly before dark a
crowd began to assemble about the jail
and in the course of an hour there were
300 people around the prison, according
to the statement of Deputy Fulmer.. Mr..
Fulmer declares that the mob pressed
close to the Jail and were evidently
planning an attack upon the prison.
However, Sheriff w. Fl. Grove and
Deputy FN1lmer took in the situation and
by their cool, deliberate manner success
fully evaded the angry crowd of men.
They drove five miles through the coun-
try to Riverside, where Robinson was
secreted in a house until the Southern
train arrived. The man was placed on
board and brought to Birmingham.
1t is understood that the mob learned
tina Robinson had been spirited away
by the officers and supposing that the
man was being taken to Ashville one
of the county seats of st. Clair, start
ed out in pursuit of the sheriff and
his assistant.
Robinson is a veritable giant. When
his description was taken at the county
jail last night he measured up to feet
inches tall and weighed about 100
pounds. He makes no denial of the
charge against him, but is extremely
reticent. He was apparently very much
excited last night as the result of his
narrow escape from being lynched on
the scene of his alleged crime.
1t is understood that the little Jones
girl informed her father that it was Rob-
inson who mistreated her. 1t seems that
she has known Robinson for some time.
