George NJ. Webb


George NJ. Webb. a local banker.
said:
The railroads have offered the city q
fair deal. From what l can gather and
from what has been said, the railroads
only request the closing of two streets
that are virtually closed at this time.
The other streets from Twenty-fifth
to Thirty second streets are closed by
act of the general assembly. The ave-
nues and alleys on the north side OF
the proposed viaduct are already closed
so far as traffic is concerned. The only
avenues that could be opened run right
into the Sloss company Stag dump. Tho
street requested closed IL opened would
run through the Sloss furnace.
"I do not believe the property near
the viaducts would be injured to any
serious extent The property near The
viaducts Is In a large measure owned
by the corporations and this is ex-
empted. The other property would be
benefited rather than injured. I think
every consideration has been shown tho
city by the railroads 1 wish the VIA
duct would hurry and be constructed
for every day that passes adds to the
risks being taken.''

County Dental society in line with the
national association and the national COM
mittee on oral hygiene. is preparing to
take up actively the work of popularizing
oral hygiene and prophylaxis in the pub

teaching the children the Importance of
keeping their mouths and teeth in hy-
gienic condition, and how to keep them
so, the society proposes to equip and
maintain a well appointed and regulated
dental operating room, in which to give
absolutely free of charge all necessary
dental service to those children whose
parents cannot pay for the service.
1.-The local society Will also receive from
the national society and publish interest
Ing statistics OF the work being done in
the campaign for popular education in

The opposing forces in the contest to

when the joint light and finance commit
tees of the city council will probably take
up the subject.
President Harry Jones stated yesterday
that he thought the light question would

time that the council members are to-

President Ford of the Birmingham Rail-

to discuss the matter. stating that he pre-

the meantime he is preparing his facts
and figures to present to the council.
On the other hand, Alderman M. j.

of the board are investigating their rights

MRS, ". ". BLACKMAN
MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
Wife of Age Herald Cartoonist
Is Drowned
WAS FISHING AT HOLT
mt EImwood Cemetery Chapel.
Friends Shocked BY News
Yesterday

News of the tragic death of Mrs. Black
man. wife of Walter w. Blackman, The
Age-Hera1d cartoonist, was received in
Birmingham yesterday afternoon from
Holt. a small place about six miles east
of Tuscaloosa, where she was visiting
relatives of Mr.. Blackman. Mrs. Black
man was drowned while fishing with
Mrs. Garrison in an artificial lake which
supplies the plants of the Central Iron
and Coal company with water.
From the information obtainabe last
night 1t seems that Mrs. BlaclSman and
Mrs. Garrison had decided to take fish
ing trim to the lake. The lake is supplied
with water by means of a large pipe
running from the Warrior river nearby
This pipe, it is understood projects over
the surface of the lake for several feet
and Mrs Blackman attempted to walk out
on the pipe in order to secure a better
place from which to fish. 1t was while
she was trying to walk on the pipe that
she either slipped or lost her balance and
fell into the lake. which is about Is feet
deep. Being unable to swim she was
drowned before assistance could arrive.
1t is understood that there were three
negro workmen employed at some labor
on the bank of the lake, and they saw
Mrs. Blackman when she fell into the
water They Immediately ran FOR assist
ance, but when help arrived the body was
not in sight. Boats and dragnet were
secured and in a few minutes the body
was recovered.
DR.. A. D. Kilian, resident physician at
Holt, had arrived in the meantime, but
his efforts to rescustate Mrs. Blackman
were unavailing.
Her death occurred yesterday afternoon
shortly after o'clock.
To the many friends of Mr. Blacllman
and to those of the deceased woman the
news of her death caused an overwhelm-
ing shock. Mrs. Blackman for num-
Der of years had resided at Woodlawn,
which was her home at the time of her
DEATH and she was greatly beloved by
all who knew her. She is survived by
her husband and two children.
Mr. Blackman was in Birmingham yes
terday afternoon when he received the
news of his wifes tragic death. He left
last night for Tuscaloosa, which is only
a few miles from Hot, and will re-
turn with the remains today at noon.
Funeral services will be conducted this
afternoon at o'clock at the chapel at
Elmwood cemetery the Rev. W. M.
Claybrook, rector of st. Mary s-on-the-
Highlands Episcopal church, officiating
The interment will be made in Elmwood

tendent of the Southern Railway COM

the Southern near Riverside. was not
an employee of the Southern railway and
that LeGrande was on the train with
out permission.
In addition to this statement w. B.
Morrison, chief of the division special
agents of the Southern, issued a formal
statement to the effect that Mr.. Powell
called to LeGrande to surrender and only
fired to protect his own life. 1t was
also given out that the trains have been
robbed several times near the scene of
the killing and that the seals of two
freight cars on this train were broken.
One of the cars is said to have been the
one upon which LeGrande was killed.

Ala, by special officer on a freight
train of this company, near Riverside,

1.-The report states that the unfortunate
young man was an employe of this COM
pany. This is an error. The young man
was not an employee of the Southern
Railway company in any capacity, either
as an apprentice or a student. fagman
or otherwise and had not been. He was
on the train without the knowledge or
consent of the conductor or any one Of
the employees connected with the train.
This was a through freight train which

along that section of the road, resulting
In serious loss to the company and Its

train crews in an effort to break up

young man to submit to arrest and after
he discovered by the young mans ac-
tons that his own life was threatened
and in imminent danger.

LEEMAN'S FUNERAL
TO BE HELD TODAY

The funeral services of Homer F. Lee
man will be held at the family residence,
22s North Fifty-second street, Woodlawn,
at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Interment
will be In Woodlawn cemetery.
Mr.. Leeman died yesterday morning at
Q o'clock at a local infirmary from a
gunshot wound inflicted Friday night by
Clyde Mahaffey. The shooting took
place Friday night about II o'clock in
front of the Rothschilds Pressing club
at Second avenue and Twenty
street. 1t is alleged that the quarrel
started over a dollar Leeman claimed
Mahaffey owed him. Mahaffey's friends
claim that he shot in self-defense and
Leeman's friends claim that it was case
Of cold murder, as Leeman had no
weapon of any kind, and had only asked
Mahaffey for change for a dollar. Wit
nesses have been secured on both sides
and actual facts will probably not be de-
termined until the trial comes up in the
criminal court.
Mahaffey was locked up on a charge OF
murder, and when Mr.. Leeman died yes
terday morning Mahaffey was transferred
from the city Jail to the county jail, where
he will be kept until the preliminary trial
comes up. Both principles of the fight
were young men.
