 IN SHOOT CONTEST
GROUP OF MEN IN SOFT DRINK STAND TAKE RANDOM SHOTS AT BEER BoTTLE-oNE MAN FOUND NORMALLY WOUNDED

- Ira Huey was shot and killed some time Saturday night at Johns. according to a report received at the coroner's office yesterday morning. Coroner Rrasher im- mediately went to the scene to investi- gate the killing. As a resul, Otto Posey was lodged in the county jail last night on a charge of murder. His bond was set at $500, which he had net made at an early hour this morning.
 According to Coroner BIasher there was a crowd of men at Johns late Sat- urday night in one of the soft, drink stands there. 1t is stated that all were orinking. Suddenly one took notion to shoot at a beer bottle lying on the floor. In few minutes the entire roomfuli were firing at the bottle.
 When the smoke cleared away Huey was seen lying on the floor. 1t was found that he had bullet Tn the groin and one in the hand. He died short time later.
 Huey was a single man and looked to be about 30 or 35 years of age. He was well known in Johns and Bessemer, where his death is greatly regretted.

MAYOR RETURNS
 AND GETS BUSY
HAM WILL FIND MANY IMPoR- TANT QUESTIONS AWAITING HIS ATTENTION THIS MORNING

Many things are awaiting the return of Mayor Culpepper Exum to his office this morning. He will go over the license schedule, which has been prepared by the miscellaneous committee, and advise with Chairman Dan Hogan on d number of changes which are being considered.
 The report of Special Engigeer Knowles on the North Birmingham water plant is also ready for the Mayor. and it is quite probable that he will find a communica- ton from the railroads on the viaduct proposition.
 Mayor Exum has not yet answered the charge of J. M. Dewberry, that he is op- posed to any form of franc. lise for the Tidewater company. This will probably be one of the matters to be taken up today.
 MT Exum will communit ate to the council his findings in the matter of the crematory, and jointly with the special committee will recommend ttat crema tory be built in Birmingham immediately.
 The council meeting Wednesday night will be one of unusual importance. Tho veto of the Mayor on the Tidewater fran chise must be passed on, the pavement war comes up again, and the Coosa River Electric company's franchi;e will be called up for settlement.
 Wednesday is the last day given the railroads by the city in the ultimatum is sued at the last meeting. Either some good news will be received rom the rail roads or. the council will probably set on foot legal measures which 1t is desired will force the railroads to action.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, December 4.-The cotton goods market has held fairly steady during the week, but has not broad ened perceptibly in the domestic goods division.
 Jobbers are buying in moderate quantities to supply immediate needs and are not anticipating on the staple lines. They have bought literally of certain makes of cotton quilts and oth- CT goods that will have to be made and will not be made unless ordered
 The movement of merchandise on old orders have been good for week or more and agricultural sections promise better business in the near future. The chief difficulty selling agents are finding is in getting prices that will take care of 15-cent cotton. &pbbers are not talking of lower prices for goods, but are careful about ordering while prices rule as now Prints have been selling steadily Ginghams are well conditioned as to orders booked; bleached goods are quiet and the mills will soon begin to accumulate stocks unless new business comes forward.
 Drills and sheetings rule quiet Fine and fancy cottons are in moderate de- mand on recorders for spring. Cotton yarns hold fairly steady. Pieces and hosiery for fall 1911 will be opened Monday at last seasons prices.

TREND
 IN STOCK MARKET

New York, December 4.-Operations in the stock market during the past week were noteworthy chiefly for their reac- tionary tendency. Beginning Monday, the day on which the gloomy observations of James J. Hill were spread broadcast, prices crumbled away until the final ses- sion recorded losses for the period of to points, Although at no time, how ever, was the market in a demoralized condition, the retreat savored rather or liouidation by the professional element and aggressive and persistent selling by an equally professional short interest
 The downward movement increased in volume, following the session here Of the leading steel and iron manufacturers or the country. The decision of these inter- ests to maintain prices was accepted with some misgivings. That the market Tor ,.cel and iron had gone steadily backward f,, some months Is known to even the casual observer of conditions, but the frank statement of the leading represen- tatives of these interests was at once seized upon as an indication that this highly important industry is again ap- 1n.oaching a critical stage.
 Practically every important system submitted statements for the month, and October, and with scarcely an exception these showed severe met losses.
 Tn the various channels of commerce reports ranged from the fairly good to ,he indifferent but in hardly, any in- stance is it averred that trade conditions are altogether satisfactory.

able, is no answer to the charge that the Newman interests interfered with a contemplated loan by that bank I have the word of Mir. J. H. Morris, senior member of the banking house of Nor ris Bros., of Philadelphia, as my Ruthor- ity. MT Ford also states that MT. New man does not know MT. J. A. Vandegrift and never saw him and therefore, never had the conversation referred to. In regard to this I say that MT. Vande- grift and l attended the New York the atre one night in the summer of 1907. During an intermisson I saw MT. Van degrift talking with another gentleman. did not see Mr. Ford. When Mr. Vandegrift returned to his seat he stated to me that he had been talking with Jake Newman and that Newman had insisted on his dropping the Tldewater proposition, or else he would see to 1t that Vandegrift lost what he put into the enterprise.
 The public may judge for itself as to whose statements are correct, but it will bear in mind that MT. Ford does not deny the interference.
 He also states that his company does not feel called on "to defend or assist the Mayor In the stand he has taken" on the Tidewater franchise. Why this reference? What definite fact in his mind connects the Mayors veto with MT Fords denial. Why not be plainer? What tho public would like to know is what MT. Ford's company and its directors have already done to prevent the con sideration of this enterprise on it's merits.
 Permit me to recall the fact that after the Tidewater franchises were originally granted over the bitter opposition of the agents of the local company, the New mans installed MT. Ford as president of their Birmingham property, after he had proven himself a valuable assistant in their delicate operation on the New Orr leans street railway system. The ques- ton is: Can Dr. Ford chIoroform Bir- mingham? J. M. DEWBERRY. }

DEWBERRY REPLIES TO
 PRESIDENT A. HI. FORD

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 MT. A. H. Ford. president of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany, and at the same time president of the Chamber of Commerce, and known in Wall street as policy man. for the Newman interests, which control the To-. cal street railway monopoly, says that the statements I quoted regarding the Messrs. Newman are absolutely untrue. MT. Ford does not pretend to have, nor is 1t possible that he can have any per- sonal information as to the concrete facts I have stated. In so far, there fore, as he adds his personal statement to the telegraphic or telepathic denial of J. K Newman, he is merely evidenc- ing his fidelity to his employer.
 As to the interference or rbankers inter ested in perpetuating the local monopoly, I have personal knowledge. MT. Ford does not deny, nor can he deny, that interference. Should he be directed to deny, he will forget his part as the affa- ble Dr. Jekyll, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and lapse into MT. Hyde the long time confidential agent of the Newmans; for no man can retain his self-respect and deny the fact ot such interference who has enjoyed the con fidence of the Newmans and their allied interests in their claim upon Birmingham as their exclusive field.
 MT. Ford says that he is authorized by MT Newman to deny relations with the Mercantile Trust company of St. Louis, or acquaintance with J. A. Van degrift. The fact must indeed be mo- torious in banking circles when even J. K. Newman hesitates to authorize his spokesman to deny the charge. that his house, and it's connections, have per sistently and deliberately interfered with our banking arrangements, when their local agents have failed in the efforts to assassinate our franchise.
 To assert that Isidore Newman and son have had no relations with the Mer- cantile Trust company, while unbeliev-

 H. R. Long, who runs a poolroom on Broad street, between Third and Fourth streets, was arrested last night on a charge of operating a blind tiger in his place, of business. Considerable liquor
 and beer was found in the poolroom and

 anee in court on Monday. The officers claim that they have witnesses to prove
 the making of sales in the place, and that the accused man will undoubtedly be convicted. Long has given the officers considerable trouble for the past year or more, and has been arrested once or twice before, but so far has always es- capped in the courts. Will Pilgrim, a prominent farmer living
