HARD AT WORK ON KN|GHT-YANCEY CASE Huntsville Grand Jury Will
 Investigate Fully STREET DISCUSSES IT Post0ffice Inspectors Have Been Con stnntly At Work On Case and Mass Of Evidence Is Said To Be
 In Hand

That the United States grand jury at Huntsville will thoroughly look into the knight-Yan company cotton failure was the declaration of United States Attorney o. D. Street yesterday. In speaking of the case yesterday Mir. Street said that the postoffice inspec- tors who are delving into the failure had laid before him only a portion of the evidence that had been gathered and he was not prepared to state whether any action would be taken prior to the grand jury meeting in Huntsville
 However, the grand jury will cer- tainly investigate that failure very thor oughly,' said MT. Street q am sure of this and it may be so stated At the same time the postoffice inspectors are working night and day on the case and they may take some action before the grand jury meets in November. I can not make any statement for that depart ment. The inspectors have only given me a portion of their evidence. The ipspec- tors are working on a separate plan from that of the department of justice and they are empowered to take such steps as they see fit. The government is look Ing Into the case closely. The officers are naturally proceeding slowly, but be- cause of this 1t should not be assumed that we are not at work
 Postoffice Inspector Dilts and Keys are in Birmingham this week. MT. Dllts yes- terday afternoon was in consultation with MT. Street and remained with him some time. The inspectors will not make any statement one way or the other about their work, but it is stated they have been constantly engaged on the case since In- spector Watson of Corinth caused the ar rest of the Steele-Miller firm members and j. H. Mcknight, an employe of the firm

ports will prove of great value on ac- count of the detailed information they contain, regarding the financial and ad- ministrative features of our pubic school system.
 T wish to congratulate this board upon the excellent work 1t has accumulated. and upon the spirit of harmony, patience and helpfulness invariably exhibited in the performance of its arduous labors
 The thanks of the board are due to the Mayor, the President of the Council and to the City Council for the spirit of cooperation shown at all times and for their liberality in providing for the needs of the schools. l wish also to express to the superintendent principals and teachers the appreciation of this board of their faithful work in the schools, and to con- graduate the people of Birmingham upon the high standard and splendid efficiency of its public school system
 ''ro City Auditor Petersen, MT. W. O. Matthews, city building inspector, MT. Eckerly, plumbing inspector, and Mr A. V. Bennett. chief of the fire department, this board expresses its gratitude and ap- preciation for faithful and efficient ser- vice. Much praise is also due to the press of our city for their appreciative reports of the proceedings of this board. All the papers of Birmingham have been helpful in the promotion of the welfare of the schools. Respectfully submitted,
 JOHN L. PARKER.

 by this board and the school will be ready by the opening of the fall session. The two negro school buildings at Ensley are dilapidated structures and should be replaced with substantial and sanitary brick buildings.
 "The negro school buildings at Eyton and Graymont are new and comfortable, but entirely too small, and lacking in heating and sanitary equipment The negro school building at Woodlawn should be torn down and replaced with a com fortable and sanitary building. East Lake, North Birmingham and West End had made no provision for buildings for negro schools. In each case, their schools were conducted in churches or other leased buildings, which were entirely un- suitable for the purpose.
 New sites have been purchased by the city at the recommendation of this board as follows: An addition of a quarter of block to the site of the Ullman school, a site for the J. B. Cunningham school at East Birmingham costing s1575, site 400 by 140 feet for the new Thomas negro school on Thirty-fourth street costing sSOO0.
 "The board has also leased a building on Eighth avenue and Eleventh street, north for the use of the Negro Industrial nigh ScnOOl. The removal or tnls SCHOOL of 200 students or more from the Cameron school building will relieve the board from the necessity of leasing buildings for the overflow from the Cameron school, as was the case last year. The board has also made needed repairs in the plumb ing of the Lane, Slater and Cameron schools, and have placed the buildings in safe and sanitary condition for the present. These buildings, however. are fha ral,. .nlu ct 1Nor IT moved to other sections of the city, Here Dr. Parker made his recommenda- tions and closed by saying: 'I commend for careful perusal the reports of the city auditor and of the superintendent of schools.
