Governors Salary Win
 BeRaised To $75OO c Year
BY BURR BLACKBURN

That the salary of the governor of Ala bama will be raised to at least $l5o0 is the hope of practically every man in Ala bama who understands the situation, and there will be general delight when itsbe- comes known that the measure will be the first passed by the coming legisla- ture.
 That Alabama is paying her governor but $5OOO has become the joke of the coun- try and when the eye is cast back over the long line of notable leaders who have occupied the chair it Is considered re- markable that men of such high class should seek position the remuneration for which will not pay the expenses Of a governor and his family at the capital,
 Heretofore, however, the expense of liv- ing has not been so high and the social duties of the governor not so heavy. while under the convention system 1t did not

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD
Amount of Work Outlined But Much Depends on Interstate
 Commerce Decision

Thomas c. Powell vice president of
 the Queen and Crescent route, was
 here yesterday and said he was very
 Birmingham awakening to the fact that
 smaller industries of a limited number
 of employees constitute one of the best
 means of making Birmingham larger
 and better known. He said it may be
 assured that the Queen and Crescent
 route and it's officers are always ready
 to assist Birmingham in any plan which
 will make the city greater. MT. Powell
 said in getting immigrants of the right
 associates and the departments they
 maintain for that purpose, were always
 at the service of the city.
 MT. Powell has been in New Orleans
 during the holidays with Mrs. Powell,
 visiting his mother. They remained
 there until Wednesday when MT. Powell was called to Cincinnati
 In talking of Birmingham, In which he is very much interested, the pop ular vice president said:
 "The best indication of Birming be- ing a larger and better city are the daily hints that I see and hear of get ting smaller factories here. That is the surest way to enhance the value of your city and I am deeply inter-
 ested in the movement. Our railroad
 can do little, perhaps, in such a cam

 mingham are intertwined in an unmis- takable way and what we can do to help increase the greatness of Bir-
 mingham We will do. That's all there Is to it. We have been working for
 many months to get a desirable class of farmers to locate along our line in this vicinity. We have succeeded very well but this coming year we hope to get even more and if possible better small farmers. We are after nc planters or plantation owners espe
 cially, but we do want to get the lit tie truck raisers to locate along here and supply Birmingham with those things she sends afar off for at this time. This and small industries will
 make Birmingham in reality a Pitts burg.
 "Why, our own city of Cincinnati
 was made by the small industries We | have a vast number of them in that city and they are located for radius of 60 miles from the city. The mer come into the city for their supplies | they spend their wages there and the,

M We are increasing the capacity oi the Gadsden car shops about 25 pel cent" he said. We are also to start | upon several depots and many side | tracks. So the outlook for our con. struction and maintenance of way de. | partments Is rather bright.

require the expenditure of thousands of dollars in canvassing every nook of the state and carrying on an aggressive cam paignto secure the position.
 Without a governors home, and with every other inconvenience, life at the cap itar is hard for the states chief execu- tive and for this reason the friends of Col. Emmet ONeal in the legislature have decided to pass bill raising the salary to s7500.
 This action will be taken during the first week of the session, before the in- auguration, so that the incoming gover- nor may enjoy the privileges. The pro- posed bill has been mailed to the mem bers and practically all have made known their support of the proposal. They are also in favor of building q home, not q mansion, for the states executive, and this may also be done later in the special session

 This Year

Brasher Receives Letter

Coroner B. l.. Brasher yesterday re- ceived a letter from a man in another county in regard to the case which, while 1t fails 10 throw any light on the matter, is interesting.
 The letter was turned over to Detectives Williams and Murphy who refuse to di- vulge the name of the man who wrote it. The letter merely contains the names of some people who might be able to throw some light on the matter However, the detectives have looked up practically all of them and have found nothing. Accord ing to the officers the letter is of no value
 ''W,lile 1 do not expect any develop merkE for several days, yet I am more encouraged over the outlook of the case one of the detectives. 'The case is clearer and the chain of evidence con nects better than at any previous time.
 While the announcement of the results of the analysis given out today of th> contents of the stomachs of the two men confirmed our suspicious it did not add any more light to the matter"
 Developments are promised within the next week. but anything new today is not expected. The clews they are working state the officers. hinge on one point, and it will be several days before that point is secured. Until then there will probably be nothing of importance in the matter.
 The case has been one of the most tir- ing on record and the detectives are thor oughly wearied. While having one theor, on which they were working and one person under suspicion they were forced to run down every suspicion of clew that arose. As a consequence there havc been days and nights of work that camt to nothing. However. from the talk o the officers, they are still confident of ap- pretending the criminal.

E.

 The above was submitted to Judge Greene yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock and a copy was turned over to the cor oner. He immediately summoned the city detectives working on the case and after a conference with them announced that the formal inquest over the bodies of the two men, which was set for today, was postponed until next Wednesday at o'clock in the office of the coroner.
 It was announced yesterday afternoon by Detectives Williams and Murphy and Coroner Brasher that an important clew had been found by the coroner. It was turned over to the detectives who refuse to divulge any information as to what 1t is. They merely content themselves with stating that an important clew has been found
 The announcement of the analysis clears up some points that have been very perplexing heretofore. It settles be- yond doubt that the men were poisoned, it shows that the accident theory is ex- tremely unlikely, and that the second let ter received by Chief Bodeker is of no consequence.

Chemist J. c. Long made his official re- port on the result of the analysis of the contents of the stomachs of Guy R. Cole man and Stephen H. Strickland to Judge S. E.

Strickland and also a careful analysis of the large bottle of Four Roses whisky and a small bottle of whisky which were found in Coleman's room and portion of soup which was given to Coleman for dinner at his boarding house on the day of his death.
 There was no poison in either the large bottle of whisky or in the soup, but I found stychnine in the stomachs and other organs of both Coleman and Strick- land, and also found strychnne in the small bottle Of whisky. from which they are supposed to have drunk. and submit the following quantative results: Total amount of strychnine recovered from Coleman's body. 2.79 grains; amount of strychnine recovered from Strickland S body 0.S5 grains. The small portion of whisky left in small bottle contained 015S grains of strychnine, and taking this as a basis, the bottle which holds 50 cubic centimeters of solution, would have con- tained about eight grains of strychnine if entirely full.
