II she did not follow his orders close

made her eyes burn and applied cleo

ointments. In the two and a half or

doctor, we could see very little i'm

Then we had read SO much how

BIRMINGHAM MADE
 NEW YORK'S EXAMPLE

Birmingham fire department has a reputation which extends even to New York city. Recently there came up a discussion among the voters of that city as to the advisability of Fire Commis- soner Joseph Johnson going into the open market and securing the best motorzed fire apparatus obtainable.
 The question caused a flood of letters arguing in favor of the plan to pour into MT. Johnson's office. The amount to be expended for the apparatus is limited to a maximum of $685. 1SO. The majority of the letters received by Commissioner Johnson were published in the official or gan of that city.
 one of them contained the sentence ar guing in favor of the scheme: Certainly New Yorks fire department Is as much entitled to the best fire apparatus as is Birmingham, Ala, whose mayor is au- thorized to go into the open market and get the best goods obtanabe"
 A marked copy of the paper was sent Chief Bennett of the fire department and he is much elated over the wide publicity which has been given the fire department of which he is the head.

LEEK ON TRIAL FOR
 ALLEGED KILLING
Sensational Evidence Being lntrO- duced at Trial of Negro for All
 legged Wife Murder

The preliminary examination or Siaf- cree Leek prominent negro, charged with the murder of his wife, is being heard before Judge II. B, Abernethy of the court of common pleas.
 The alleged circumstances attending the killing border on the sensational and It Is claimed grew out of the failure or the Peoples Investment and Savings Ranking company, of which w. l.. Lau- derdale was president and Leek the book lseeper. which went defunct several months ago. The failure of the bank was attributed to an alleged attempt to wreck the bank by dynamite and the official claim that a large sum of money was stolen.
 few days after the bank failed the dead body.of Leek's s wife was found near Thrash station on the North Ensley car line the cause of death being pistol wound in the head.
 It was rumored that the woman knew something about the alleged robbery or the bank, and that Leek had motive in putting her out of the way.
 Coroner Brasher held an investigation which resulted in the arrest of Leek, charging him with causing the death or his wife.
 loaded pistol with one chamber dls- .s charged was found near the~scene ot the killing and the state introduced Wit ness who testified that he had 1e" days previously sold pistol to Leek corresponding to the one found where the woman was killed. It was also ciaiineu hy the state that as an addltlonai mo tive the dead woman's life was insureu' with the defendant as beneficiary;
 The ease has attracted much attention among the better element of the negro nopulationsand the court room has been crowded to the extreme by witnesses ana spectators who evince the greatest in- terest in the case.
 The state closed last night and so Tar no direct evidence has been introduced to fasten the crime on the defendant, the testimony being all cireumstahtlai' The hearing will be resumed this after- noon at 1 o'clock.

His advice to young men was to settle down early in life and fol- low not in his footsteps. For 12 years Lasley's wife and five children accom- panied him in his nomadic habits. He is now on his way to Reading, Pa. to join them and says that he will make an eff fort to give up his dissolute tricks and spend the remainder of his life with his family.

VIEWS OF CITIZENS ON HOW
 TO HANDLE STATES CONNECTS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D

CONTINUED FROM PAGE D convicted of crime should be under the direct control of skilled officials who would be appointed by the state. The state never should put her hands on criminal unless she can turn him out Of prison a better citizen than when he went in and the system that will bring this about is the best that the state can inaugurate. The recent removal of the prisoners from the mines and taking them under state supervision seems to a step in the right direction towards bringing this about.
 "The whole and sole purpose of con- lining violators of the Alabama criminal code should be the reformation of the convict so that when he is turned back on society he will have a higher ideal of his social duty and obligation to his fef- low men Unfortunately for Jefferson county, it's social condition from a crm- nal standpoint is sadly below the average state county and almost every county in the United States.
 This is caused from the fact that every violator of law from any part of the state when sentenced and committed to prison, is sent to the mines of this community The man becomes an educated miner in the process of his punishment and upon his discharge at the expiration of his sentence, finds work in the mines of this district for the making of ready money at the trade to which the state has trained him.
 Little or no care has been given to the use of similar methods of prison reformation and character development practiced in the most up to date prison institutions of the country and after his incarceration the convict's nature and thoughts are criminal in their trend. Un- der the present mode of imprisonment the hardened criminal comes in contact with the novice in crime and exploitation of his criminal career by the former into the ears of the latter fills the mines with convicts.
 ''The state will learn in the course of time that no better investment could be made for the criminal class than to put officials in charge of them who give their best thoughts and wisest endeavors to- ward training these unfortunate citizens to a higher plane of thinking and moral ity. The life of criminal in the state at present is like that of the little waif in one of Dickens books when he said. Tn jail and out of jail; in jail and out of jail, repeated over and over.'"
