R. s. Munger, president Of the Young Mems Christian association, win preside over the meeting.
 The stone will be laid on the southeast corner of the building, just above The sidewalk. The crowd will be cared for in the lobby of the new building, which has been cleared out, and in which will be placed a speakers stand, and a place of the ceremonies is that they will be held rain or shine, an unusual circum- stance in the laying of corner stones The people who attend will be accommodated under shelter, so that the weather will not interfere in any event.
 As general thing the laying of the corner stone. indicates that work on a building has not progressed very far, but such is not the case in this instance. The corner stone of stone building may be laid at any time, and the new Y. M. c. A. building is of that material
 !. The work on the new structure has progressed rapidly, and now the frame work of seven of the nine stories has been completed, and the work will be pushed to completion
 The new home of the Birmingham Y NJ C. A. will be one of the handsomest structures of it's kind in the south, and will be credit to the public spirited citi- gems of Birmingham who assisted in making 1t possible. The building alone represents an outlay of ss0oCoo, and the whole plant when ready for occupancy will be worth about S3OO,OOO

Jim Outlaw Said to Have Been Advancing With
 a Knife CHARLES SHOT MEETING OUT A SWIFT DEATH People Are Prominent in Pratt City and Very Deep Regret Is Ex-
 pressed-The' Details
 Are Meagre

deplorable homicide occurred Sat urday night at Pratt City, in which Charlie Outlaw, white man about 19 years of age, shot and instantly killed his cousin, Jim Outlaw. a young man about the same age. The killing occurred in shed belonging to the Copeland brick yard, located near the Kansas City crossing, and while the names of the eye witnesses could not be secured, it is understood that three persons besides the principals were present when the shooting occurred.
 It seems the young men had been in the habit of making the shed, where sthe homicide occurred, rendezvous for several weeks past, and had met Satur- day night for social purposes. A quar- rel arose between the two cousins about a trivial matter, which resulted in the death of James Outlaw. It is stated that the deceased was advancing on his cousin Charlie with an open knife in his hand, and the latter pulled a pistol and shot James through the heart. death resulting instantly. Charlie ran from the shed to his home and after telling his father Of the occur renee disappeared.
 The dead boys father Tom Outlaw, went to the scene and friends removed the body to the undertaking establish ment of Sam Foley, and the coroner was notified. Coroner Brasher made brief preliminary investigation and will hold an inquest Tuesday morning.
 The sad occurrence Is much regretted In Pratt City and vicinity, where all the parties connected with the affair are well known. Both boys were born in Pratt within few blocks of each other, and had been playmates from their childhoo
 The parents of the boys have been successful business men of Pratt City for over 20 years. Tom Outlaw, the father of the deceased, is in the trans fer business, while w. J. Outlaw, the father of Charlie, is In the grocery business, and was at one time mayor of the town. The sad affair cast gloom over the community and much sympathy and regret Is expressed
 It is understood that while Charlie Is in hiding, his friends have promised to have him present at the inquest Tuesday morning. It Is said he will plead self defense.

COMMISSION WILL
 SETTLE QUESTION
Bell Telephone Company's Request to Increase Rates
 Develops Live Issue

The regular meeting of the Birming- ham commissioners to be held tomor- row beginning at 10 o'clock, Is expected to develop into one of the most i'm portant meetings held by that body in many weeks. The two foremost prop ositions to be decided, or action taken upon, are the Bell Telephone Company request for increase in rates, and the sale of $1,ooo.o00 worth of city bonds.
 The former proposition will develop as a report of committee of tho commission consisting of President Gull Lane, reporting to the commission. Singular as 1t is, the two committee men will represent the commission and will pass upon their own report. By this time, the position of Commissioner A. O. Lane Is rather well defined and his vote will be in the negative. Pres ident Culpepper Exum has steadfast1y refused to give any intimation of his position. He refuses interviewers with the modest statement that as a mem Der of the special committee he does not intend to make any report until the time formally set for such, the same being tomorrow at the regular commission meeting.
 The Bell Telephone Company will at once take the question before the state railroad commission, which body is the only one legally constituted to, pass upon the question. The city commits sion's ruling will simply be refusal to cooperate with the Bell company in it's request of the state railroad com mission
 Arrangements have been made for the railroad commissioners to meet in the city hall next Thursday, at which time the raise of rates will be taken up.
 The Bell company is preparing for an aggressive fight before the commis- sioners from Montgomery. who will meet here Thursday. J. M. B. Hoxey, vice president, was here yesterday in conference with J. T. Stokely and D. F. Turnbull, local commercial manager,
 
 over the situation thoroughly.
 No statement was authorized by th. officials.
 Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock the Birmingham commissioners will receive bids on s1 ,o0o,O0 worth of bonds. The sale will perhaps be attended by a large number of bond house represent atives attracted to the city by the sale.
 The commissioners have received many bids on the bonds as the sale has been extensively advertised in well known trade journals.
 President Culpepper Exum of the fin ance department will handle the bids and will announce the award. The bonds will be of s1.0O0 denomina tions and will be delivered September 30 to the purchasers at the Hanover Nationa, bank, New York city. An opinion of Caldwell X Masslich. bond attorneys, will be given with all bonds as to their legality.

gowned with her hair curled and rib bored
 One day asked Beulah if she loved Henry Beattie She replied: Oh I like him all right, but his chief asset is his moneyr
 "Beulah Binford will hardly appear on the stage. She signed a contract for Sl2O00, which contract I witnessed. The agent of the firm employing her, how ever, stated that he wanted about 5000 poses of the woman for moving picture shows. But Beulah, herself, left Vir- ginia enthusiastic over the prospects of making vaudeville reputation. She Is vain and frivolous. and 1t. therefore, caused little surprise when the fact that she was unable to appreciate the hor- rible features of the crime in which she was directly involved, became known.
 Father Caused Wedding
 T interviewed one of the bridesmaids of Mrs. Beattie. This young lady in- formed me that Henry Beattie, on the night before the wedding, stated boldly that there may be no ceremony tomor- row. Urged to tell plainly what he meant, he informed the Owens family that he would see his father and telephone the result of the interview. About 12 o'clock, Beattie. ST., telephoned the Owens fam fly that the wedding would occur, and 1t did I reached the conclusion that MT. Beattie felt In a way responsible for tho marriage and subsequently,, for the crime. All Virginia sympathizes with the poor, old, broken hearted man, who alone of all the principals, appeared troubled, and who alone took a serious view of the pre- carious and shameful situation. Fre- quently during the trial he covered his face with his hands, and when the ver- dict of guilty was pronounced he was overcome by grief
 The Horrible Details
 ''All Virginia believed Beattie murdered hAs wife in cold blood. That he first knocked her senseless with the butt of the gun. and then placing the barrel against her face, blew her brains out is the story which Is believed and which convicted him. According to this story, after murdering his wife he pitched her into the car, and sitting upon her head, drove to town. There was no blood on the shoulder of the coat against which Beattie declared the head of his wife re- posed, but his trousers were covered with coagulated gore.
 sat on his left, that a highwayman shot her from his own right, and that the wind shield was up at the time, he could never explain why the wind shield was not broken by the shots. This was one of the many little facts in connection with the trial which established in the minds of the jurors the guilt of the de- fen6ant.''

Criminal Reporter Talks
 of Bedttie Murder Trial
CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY OFFICES ALREADY GROOMING
 THEMSELVES FOR BATTLE

For the fat fees which county offices hold before the people of Jefferson county there are already according to well defined political gossip, a horde of aspirants, and it is safe prediction that next spring, when the election is the various departments, will be as spirited as they have always been.
 At the present time, for instance, every office save one has at least three applicants, and it is reasonable to sup pose that Judge John c. Pugh of the circuit court. who is unopposed at the present moment will not be lucky enough to escape stiff political argu- ment. But at the present moment, gos- sip has named no one to run against him.
 Frank Cahalan, judge of the criminal court, will have opposition in the per- son of Judge William E. Fort, former incumbent, and 1t is not at all unlikeiy that Judge s. E. Greene will enter the arena also. For junior judge there are several who are considered as prospec- tive candidates, some of them new Richmonds in county politics. In this list are included Judge Samuel I. wea- Yer, who has served period on the bench Clare F. Smith, w. P. McCrossin, Sam Will John, John Mcqueen, and James M. Russell
 Several are mentioned as candidates for senior judge of the city court. This list includes John H. Miller, Judge Charles A. Senn, Judge R. B. Kelly, c. W. Hickman, and E. M. Hamill
 Prospective candidates for clerk of the criminal court are John c. Bradley, James F. Hawkins, w. B. Copeland,
