 shoulder with a knife. The wound seems to have healed without any com

Waddell, assisted by Colonel Hayes of Phenix City, con ducted the prosecution, and Col. F. M. DeGraffenreid acted as counsel for the defense.

 .I have been very attentive to business lately and needed short rest declared Judge Howze in the lobby of the New Willard We have a daughter in the Vir- ginia hills and we concluded to come up for a vacation. Now is a right good time to get away from Birmingham, too. A most unpleasant campaign is on which involves the same old unpleasant features that have marked public feeling for sev- eral years in Alabama and which 1 hope are now to be finally settled.
 "Spottsylvania is one of the most in- teresting sections of the country and a short stay in the neighborhood can be made very pleasant as well as profitable. Some of the most notable battles of the Civil war were fought here and there are many menentoeS of the bloody con hcts.
 We left Birmingham and Alabama in good shape Business is reasonably good for the season and the crop prospects in the state are unusually promising"
 Mrs Marie Bankhead Owen of Mont gomery, one of the best known journal ists in the south, spent a few days in Washington this week. She was on her way to New York and to Canada on combined business and pleasure trip. While she was in the capital she called on her father Senator John H. BankneaG, Senator John Sharp Williams. Senator Joe Bailey and other friends in the House and Senate.
 She was also received in the press gall lery, and spent some time in the Senate gallery listening to Senator Root of New York, who happened to be speaking on the statehood bill at the time of her call ing.

TOBIAS REPORTS
 HIS SAFE BLOWN
Detectives Think Experts
 Have Committed Two ;. Recent Grimes Here

i--4souis Tobias, 1928 Second avenue, north, reported to the police yester-
 day morning that his store had been
 broken into. his safe bored and about
 s1000 in money and jewels stolen dur ing the night. Detectives Williams and Murphy were assigned to the case. and
 W. rked on it all day yesterday. They succeeded in getting nothing of inn portance, although they are confident that they will get something in a short time.
 Tobias runs a meat market and fruit stand on Second avenue, and he closed
 up about midnight Tuesday. When he opened the store yesterday morning he discovered the broken safe and a search revealed that everything oi value in it had been taken. The yeggman made entrance to the I building through the transom and left I through the rear, the back door being wide open when the store was entered yesterday morning by the proprietor
 A small hole was drilled in the outer
 door of the safe and the combination broken. The performance was dupli- cated on the inside door.
 The job bears the earmarks of ex- perts and is very similar to the blow ing of the safe of the Birmingham laundry several weeks ago. The detec- lives are inclined to believe that both jobs were done by the same people. En- trance was made at the laundry by a rear ransom and the safe drilled in the same manner The detectives be- lieve that when they catch the yeSs- men who did the latter job they will be able to connect them with the laun- dry theft. In neither case was there a bungle, the drilling being done swiftly and silently. In neither case was the burglary discovered by the officer on the beat, so silently did the yeggmen operate.
 The goods taken from the safe yes terday were s205.75 in currency, four small diamond rings, one large diamond with a Tiffany setting valued at s375, a solid gold watch, two cheaper watches and other small jewelry. Practically all of the jowelry was brought from Italy by Tobias. The total loss will amount to about 5000.

 It Is also practically certain that the office of the House Ways and means com mittee, with it's corps of experts will hold open house during any recess that may be had in Congress. Chairman Un derwood will not be compelled to stay on the job all the time, but he will probably return to Washington after short rest at Birmingham.
