GOVERN MENT MEN
 VISITING PLANTS
SEEKS DATA ON HOURS OF WORK, SANITARY CONDITIONS AND GEN ERAL STATE OF AFFAIRS AROUND PLANTS

For the purpose of inspecting Birn- ingham's industries four special agents for the department of commerce and labor arrived In Birmingham yesterday.
 The work of inspecting the plants of this city and district follows a resolu- tion of the senate that the living condi- tions, hours worked and the general sanitay conditions of the industrial plants of this country be thoroughly gone into The special agents having in hand the work are Walter B. Palmer. agent in charge; George H. Traylor. Frank B. Sargent and William T. Kirk.
 It was stated yesterday by one of the special agents that the department had simply given instruction that the indus trial plants of the Birmingham district be thoroughly examined and reported upon.
 The work was delegated to this depart ment by senate resolution which covers but one short paragraph and which was introduced just before the final session The special agents having in hand the work do not know why 1t Is being done or what will be the result of the inves- tigations.
 Yesterday they visited Ensley and went over the conditions around the plant at that city. The hours of work performed by the men are said to be the most im- portant feature of the work. However, the houses in which the men live, the conditions surrounding them and condi- tions under which the laborers perform their work constitute part of the duties of the agents in this district.
 It was given out that few industrial concerns had been called upon for in- formation which had been readily given the government agents. This information was principally in connection with the hours of work. The special agents be- lieve 1t win require three or four weeks to complete the work They have been requested to file their reports in order that the next senate may be supplied with whatever information is gathered.

CHARGED WITH USING
 MAILS TO DEFRAUD

Upon warrants procured in this city before United States Commissioner B. B. Watts, charging the use of the mails for fraudulent purposes, B. L. Melton, M. L.. Melton, L. N. Melton and L. M. Price, prominent citizens of Anniston, were taken into custody yesterday.
 The warrants were procured by Post office Inspector William L. Reid, who has been working up the case for over three months It is claimed by the post office official that the men conducted a string of stores dealing in various mescantile lines. They are said to have misrepresented their rating upon which they are alleged to have obtained credit.
 It is said the arrested parties operated stores in Anniston, Sylacauga, Alabama City and Talladega, under the firm name of l.. Price & Go. It is claimed by the government that the men also used va- rious names to conduct the business. Postoffice Inspector Keys. who assisted MT. Reid in few later details, said:
 t'The men have a rating with commer- ciSl agencies which I believe was se- cured under rather suspicious methods They operated stores at various points in the state. They would buy goods from a wholesale house, after having secured ample credit. The first move would bc to buy carload of trunks and pile them out in front The goods procured by false credit references would then be hauled away from time to time in the trunks. Finally the scheme was to assign when business was dull. When the people would take charge, instead of boxes of shoes and other goods, the discovery would be made that nothing was on hand.
 'The country Is flooded with these schemes and the postoffice inspector in charge desires to secure the cooperation of the people in putting stop to the practices. He has issued instructions that the newspapers be requested to give wide publicity to the fraud cases in the hope that the people will not be injured and that the practices will be broken UT"

DOUBLE KILLING
 OVER POOL GAME
Joseph Salisbury Dead and
 Wesley Dobbs Dying
AFFAIR AT GAINESVILLE
Both Shot Several Times-Auto Ambu- lance Makes Record Run From Bir- mingham To Scene of Trouble,
 Distance of 20 Miles

Joseph Salisbury was shot and almost instantly killed by Wesley Dobbs at Ad- amsville last night about 10 o'clock. Dobbs was seriously shot by Salisbury and is lying at St. Vincent's hospital at the point of death.
 The shooting occurred in a poolroom in Adansville, and it is said that the two men quarreled over game of pool. Without warning Salisbury is said to have drawn a pistol and begun firing at Dobbs. Dobbs states that he had been wounded three times before he returned Saulsbury's fire from the floor.
 Salisbury was shot twice, one bullet taking effect in the upper abdomen and the second in the left shoulder. He ran about 100 yards before he fell. He fell almost at his gate. He was picked up and carried into the house, where he breathed his last within a few minutes. Saulsbury's wife was at home at the time and the first warning she had of the shooting was when his body was brought in.
 Greens ambulance was telephoned for and the run was made in the automobile in twenty minutes. The distance was about 14 miles and the round trip was made within an hour. Dobbs was ac- companied by his wife. child and sev- eral brothers. He was carried to St. Vincent's hospital and imme- diately placed on the operating table in an effort to save his life. The report given out at the hospital is that he has little chance for recovery.
 He was shot in the abdomen, in the right breast, in the left arm and three times in the right arm. Saulsbury is said to have fired six times and every bullet took effect. Dobbs. in spite of three wounds, fired from the floor with fatal effect.
 Both men are married and Dobbs has a small baby. Both wives are heart broken over the affair, which happened without a moments notice. The coro- ner was notified and will go to Adams vile to hold an investigation this morn ing at o'clock

TRAGIC HISTORY OF
 A GRAND DUCHESS

St. Petersburg, September 19-(Special) A touching account of the life of a prin- cess devoted to the cause of humanity will be published in a few days dealing with the tragic history of the Grand Duchess Elizabeth. wife of the late Grand Duke Sergius of Russia. Grand Duchess Elizabeth Is sister of the reigning Grand Duke of Hesse, and also of the Czarina. Her husband was assassinated in the streets of Moscow on February r, 1905, being shattered by a bomb thrown at him. The grand duchess, who was in the palace, hardly stones throw away, and heard the explosion realized through her woman's instinct It's terrible import, rushed to the spot and found her hus- bands mutilated body lying where it had been.
 After that terrible experience the grand duchess withdrew from all the gaieties of life, and set to, work to ameliorate the sufferings of the masses of the popula- tion in her adopted country She has founded hospitals and nursing homes and all sorts of institutions for similar pur- poses She herself directs operations, and devotes eight to ten hours day to the laborious work of experimenting the diff ferent branches of her charitable activ- ity. She devotes practically the whole of her immense income, amounting approx. imately to S625,0O0 to the cause of charity, and the suffering poor in and around Moscow and in the vicinity of several of her estates in other parts of Russia have learned to regard her as living saint.
 Not content with directing Operations, she also participates in the acy'ye work of her various institutions Sometimes she works as a nurse, sometimes as 8 visitor to the poor. sometimes she at- tends as a domestic servant the desti- ute harbored in her refugees for aged paupers. On such occasions she dons the dress of nurse or servant and performs the necessary duties without revealing her identity to the inmates of the differ ent homes In many cases the other nurses or members of the staff have been unaware of her identity, so that in this way she has convinced herself of the precise inner workings Of the institutions, and has revealed breaches of discipline and good conduct on the part of the staffs, especially with regard to the treatment of the patients. The book dealing with the Grand Duchess Eliza beth's life will be most touching human document-the story of the self-sacriflce of a noble woman who, after experiencing the most poignantly conceivable grief, de- cided to devote the remainder of her life to the alleviation of suffering.

ROLLING MILL TO BE
 ENTIRELY REMOVED

It was announced yesterday by the Republic Iron and Steel company that the old rolling mill in this city would be completely razed and the ground swept clean.
 The work of tearing down the mill has been going on for some time, but it was very generally believed that some parts of the plant would be allowed to remain on the site. However, the com pany intends to carry off every vestige of the rolling mill which at one time was the very backbone of the Birming ham district.
 It has not been determined what will be the final disposition of the site It is believed in some circles that the Re- public company will construct another plant there. However, some people be- lieve the plant-site will be sold to some other concern. MT. Green, local man. ager, said as yet he did not know what would become of the plant.

CITY OVERRULED
 IN FORNEY CASE

Former Alderman John c. Forney drew first blood in chancery court yesterday in his suit against the city of Birmingham for the recovery of a tract of land in East Birmingham. Dernurrers filed by the city of Birmingham as defendant in the case were yesterday overruled by Chancellor Alfred H. Benners.
 The tract of land for the possession of which Forney is suing is valued at about $16,0OO, and is situated in the southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of sec- tion II, township 17. range 2 west.
 The suit in chancery was brought against the city on July II. Forneys grounds for suing are that he held an option on the property previous to its purchase by the city. Forney was an alderman at the time and brought suit against the city after his resignation. He contended that the mere fact that he was an alderman Should not restrain him from dealing in property sales.

Oates, Jr., is made executor, without bond. It is not only stipulated that he be not required to make bond, but 1t is the desire of the de- ceased that he be relieved of the neces- sity of obtaining orders of court for anything he may desire to do In the management of the estate.
 In his land book, called in the will Oates Land Book" is recorded the lands owned by the general. He esti- mates their value at H7,000. Among the holdings are two sections in Hale county, Texas, worth S20.0oo. A total of $107,0oO of interest-bearin bonds Is left with sol vent credits of s25,oo0.

 The home in Montgomery and all that pertains thereto Is given to Mrs. Oates for life, with forty Exchange hotel bonds of $500 each, bearing per cent interest. William c. Oates. Jr., and his mother are given the library together to divide as they see fit.
 The general leaves request that life-size bronze statue be erected at his grave, with a pedestal of Alabama mar ble. This Is the suggestion he makes for the inscription: Born in poverty reared in diversity, without educational advan- tages, yet by honest individual effort he obtained a competency and the confidence of his fellow man, while fairly liberal to relatives and to the worthy poor. devoted Confederate soldier, he gave his right arm for the cause. He accepted the result of the war without a naurmur, and in 1S9S-9 he was brigader-genera of the United States volunteers in the war with Spain" On the opposite side of the pedestal he suggests: "A soldier in two wars-captain, colonel and gen. eral Legislator. members of congress and governor"
 He urged that this Is in no spirit of but desire to point way to success to those who come after. The monument is not to cost over S10,000.
 All through the will are expressions of io.,o for and confidence in hfe wife and son. Of the son he says: "A well-in- formed young lawyer and a man of good sense and good judgment. Tn him have the utmost confidence" Of Mrs. Oates: My dear wife, Saliie T. Oates" He knows that his son will always properly advise his mother and see that she does not want for anything
