 ANOTHER CHARGE

Cincinnati, February 27-A supple mentary indictment was returned here today against George B. Cox. and, like the original. charges perjury.

SELMA ANXIOUS
 ID ENTER LEAGUE

Selma, February 27-(SpecaD B. R. Howard will leave here Wednes- day for Gadsden where Thursday even ing he will attend a meeting at which it is proposed to re-organize the South eastern Baseball league. It Is under stood that the meeting will offer Selma franchise in that organization and if so Captain Howard will put good team in for this city. The, baseball lovers of Selma think well of the pro- posed circuit and believe the league will prove a paying one.
 That Selma is confident of having a club in the proposed league is assured by the fact that already. a movement is on foot among the baseball lovers of the city to get up s25o0 to start tho season with. This fund is being sub city and the entire amount will be rais- ed within the next few days.
 The proposed organization Will be compact one with Rome, Anniston, Huntsville, Gadsden, Decatur and Sell ma. The jumps would not be so long and the gate receipts would not be eaten up in paying railroad fare. For that reason the followers of the game here are anxious for Selma to be awarded a franchise in the league.
 For several seasons past Selma has ably supported strong .semi-profes- sional club. With organized baseball 1t is believed the game will even pay bet- ter here as Selma would be one of the largest towns composing the circuit.

Letters to the Editor
The Recall" in Oregon

,'o>fhe Editor Of The Age-llerald:
 In today's Age-Herald there appears an editorial under the heading of Ore gon Poses as a Model' that may mis- lead a good many people. After listing number of reforms, you say: "The recall, it will be noticed, is not included in the reforms of the model common wealth. Just why it was excluded has not been explained by even Senator Bourne"
 This was surprising, especially when coming from an office that should have on hand at all times the means of as- certaining the correctness of so impor- tant matter to the people of Birming- ham at this particular time. On May 5, 1910, Senator Bourne delivered speech in the United States Senate on "Popu- lar vs. Delegated Government" and said in part as follows:
 'The final step in the establishment of popular government in Oregon was the adoption of the recall amendment to the constitution, which was adopted in 1908 by vote of 5s,SS1 to S1,O02' : Attached is copy of the speech which
 
 all the voters in Birmingham and this state. It is evident that there is an ef- fort being made to eliminate the recall from our commission bill now before the governor for signature. This is one of the most important features of the bill, and without it the commission form may become more of an evil than ben eft. Right of recall may never be exer- cised, but if not a part of the bill it's need will the sooner become apparent. The statement that the recall does not exist in Oregon or commission bills of other cities must be investigated before taken seriously, or we may have a com mission form of government in Brming- ham that will remind us of the play of Hamlet" with the melancholy Dane left out. Yours very truly,

T|DEWATER WORK ID BEGIN TODAY Statement Made By Agent
 of Philadelphia Bankers SLOAN TO SUPERVISE
Bessemer Franchise Requires That Work Begin on or Before March 1-Start Work West of
 Ensley

Actual work on the Tidewater rail read begins this. morning at point between Bessemer and Ensley accord ing to an interview given out here last night formally by P. $. Briggs of Philadelphia, representing Morris & Co, bankers of the Tidewater project.
 The work is to start under the per sonal supervision of Chief Engineer Sloan of McArthur Brothers. who is in the city. A party of officers of tho Tidewater company will leave Bessemer this morning carly to see the begin- ming of the work, which. if completed, means competitive electric car ser vice in this city
 The decision to work near Bessemer first was brought about by the Besse- mer franchise, which was worded to say that actual construction must start by this morning. After the plans of the Tidewater company are submitted te City Engineer Nicholson work will start in the city of Birmingham
 The interview of MT. Briggs follows.
 Actual continuous construction of the Underwater railroad begins on the county highway est of Ensley on
 
 Tuesday, February 2S, 1911. This Is not the logical or most convenient point to begin construction but the Bessemer franchise requires the be- ginning of work at some point on the proposed line between East Lake and Bessemer on or before March 1, 1911.
 When Bessemer granted the fran chise 1t was then thought the Birming- ham franchise would pass without de- lay and would contain similar re. Quirement, so that the beginning of work in Birmingham would be a com- pliance with the provisions of the Bes- semer franchise. As the Birmingham franchise was delayed and as work cannot yet properly begin In the city of Birmingham. we are compelled to begin, even though in a small way, somewh ere between Bessemer and Ems ley, in order to comply with the Bes- semer franchise
 The Birmingham franchise requires. before work can begin in the city of Birmingham, that plans and specifica- tions be submitted. to and apprayed by the City Council These plans are ready and are being submitted to the City Council for their consideration and ap- proval. Within 50 days after approval construction must and will begin in the city of Birmin gham and will be pushed forward unto the completion of the road.'

The body of J. w. I1iggs, who was killed February 12 at Rock Island near Lock No. on the Coosa river was brought to Birmingham yesterday.

 The body was found under some brush that was in the water. When MT. Strong found the body he imme- diately institutedea search and found the place where MT. Higgs had been killed There was blood on the ground and eVluenceS or SlruSSle.f
 The river above and below the island was searched but the body was not found. MT. Strong never gave up hope of finding it and Sunday decided to search the island again. He then dis covered the body under pile of brush.
 The finding of the body of MT. hggs completes the details of one of the most mysterious killings that has come to the attention of local officers for some time. Eugene Knighton was killed at the same time and all efforts of the county officers have been unavailing.
 The Iuneral services over the body of MT. Higgs will be held this morn- ing from the chapel of the Green Un- dertaking company at 10 o'clock. ln- torment will be in Elmwood ceme- tery
