BOY GETS IN TROUBLE
Asks Policeman Name of street and 1t
Develops He Was a Runaway

Because he walked up to Policeman
Hollums last night on Twentieth street
and asked him what street that was,
Julias Coins, 9-year-old boy from Mont
gomery, was taken into custody and in
vestigation made into why he was in Bir-
mingham. Chief Bodeker telephoned to
Montgomery and the boys mother will
send him a ticket to come home.
Julias is a manly little fellow, and when
asked last night by Officer Hollums why
he did not know where Twentieth street
was, the boy responded that he had just
run away from home and had never been
in Birmingham before. Julias told the
police that he had run off to picnic and
that his father was going to whip him
for It, Yesterday morning was the time
set for the whipping and Julias decided
that he would just come to Birmingham
and not be present when the whipping
was to take place. He said he was going
to work here and make living selling
newspapers. He made enough money in
Montgomery to pay his fare to Birming-
ham, so he did not see why he could not
make money here the same way
He is being held In Chief Bodekers Of
fee until the ticket comes from hts
mother, and then he will be sent home.

The Business Mems league will not ac-
cept mo for an answer. In spite of
the fact that Col. Theodore Roosevelt
yesterday wired the league and ]. o.
Thompson that he could not possibly ac-
cept Birminghams invitation. it is I'M
derstood that a committee will be dis
patched forthwith to induce the express

Upon the return of President Holcombe
next Monday definite plans will be made
The officers of the league feel that they
have only lost the first deal, and they
believe the chances of inducing Roose-
welt to visit Birmingham are very fine
The committee will leave as soon as the
members can arrange their business, and
every effort will be made to change the
mind of the former President.
The telegram yesterday was evidently
one similar to that sent to hundreds of
other cities throughout the country and
1t was not considered significant. The
object is to get him here on October G.
but in case the committee should be
unsuccessful the reunion of the Spanish

MISS SOLLY FALLS
IN ELEVATOR SHAFT
Popular Hillman Hospital
Nurse Fatally Injured
NO HOPE rs HELD OUT
Was still Hanging Between Life and
Death at Early Hour This Morn
ing-Beioved BY whole
Hospital STAFF
NO HOPE IS HELD OUT

Miss Myrtle Solly, the Hillman hos
pital nurse who is believed 10 have
been fatally injured yesterday morn
ing by falling down an elevator shaft.
is still lingering between life and
DEATH Her back is broken and her
skull is fractured Her body is para
lyzed and while she fingers longer than
was expected the doctors still have no
hope for her recovery.
Miss Solly had been on night duty
for the last few days at the hospital,
took the elevator and went downstairs
for something which was needed in her
work. The elevator is self-operating
and all of the nurses run 1t them
selves. Miss Solly left the elevator at
the first floor and went on her errand.
In the meantime the elevator was
placed In motion by some chance of
fate and went to the top of the build
ing. Miss Solly returned after few
minutes and the elevator shaft door
being open she supposed the car was
there as she had left it. She unhes-
itatfngly stepped off the floor into
space and went crashing through the
darkness to the basement IL feet be-
low.
Miss Solly was unconscious when
found a few minutes later by some of
her sister nurses. A few low groans
had told them that someone was hurt,
although no one saw the accident.
Miss Solly has never regained con-
seriousness. and it is believed that she
never will.
Doctors and nurses are doing all
for her that is within tho power of
medical and surgical science, but her
injuries are such that they are prac-
tically sure to prove fatal in the end,
although she may linger for some
time.
Miss Solly is 20 years old and has
been at the Hillman hospital for a
little over a year. She was to gradual tie
as a trained nurse next spring. She
Is girl of noble character and was a
favorite among the nurses and medical
staff of the hospital. Her home is In
Gadsden, Ala. but she has many friends
in Birmingham and the news. of her
fatal accident has brought sorrow to
them all.
