 Length

BOY IS DROWNED IN SILVER LAKE Frank Dunn Was Swimming
 With Party PLAYED WITH CANOE Young Man Had Been Captain of 8 Company at East Lake Indus
 trial School for Three
 Years
PLAYED WITH CANOE

Frank Dunn was drowned yesterday
 rnoriing about o'clock in Silver Lake at
 Nit Pinson, while he was bathing Young Dunn was on the yearly encampment of
 the Boys Industrial School of East Lake, being employed at the school as a cap
 tain of one of the military companies.
 Young Dunn was bathing with two
 other companions, Barkley Love and
 Carl Rains, at the time of the accident.
 The boys were playing with a boat while
 they were swimming. They had been
 swim ming for some time and as they felt
 tired 1t was decided that they should overturn a small canoe and rest upon it.
 When they were overturning the canoe in some manner they pushed it out of
 their reach and when they saw that the
 shore was nearer than the boat they tried
 to go to the shore
 It is said that the boys had been swim 1ain; vigorously and were evidently ex-
 hausted. When Dunn came within about fl teen feet of the bank he was evi-
 dently so exhausted that he gave up hope
 and immediately sank. When he saw that he was going to drown he cried for ller. but the boys said that they were SC exhausted that they were hardly able
 to move and when their companion called | for assistance they were unable to help him. A little later a small boy nearby
 had heard his call and he brought as- | s,stance.
 | It is said that at first they thought the boy was only joking. They | thought he had dived under the water and gone out to make them believe he was drowned. As soon, however as it was evident that the boy had drowned the authorities instituted search and
 the body was recovered.
 Ao ambulance of Johns was summoned
 and the remainswere brought to the city for funeral arrangements. The body is
 being held at the funeral parlors. Zoung Dunn was IS years of age and 1 had been employed at the industrial school for three years as captain of one
 of the military companies. He was popu-
 lar among all of the boys and was we'll
 liked by the authorities. He is survived
 by his father, F. J. Dunn. railroad en- sineer; his mother, Mrs Roxe Dunn, of Nashville sister, Mrs. Bessire, and a younger brother. Clarence, who lives al Norih Birmingham.
 The funeral arrangements will be made
 upol the arrival of his mother from Nashville.

GIVEN MORE TIME
 ON FIVE CENT FARE
New Development Is Result of Recent Change in Own
 ership of Local Lines

After a conference lasting an hour and half, the city commissioners and the officials Of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company adjourned yes- terday afternoon without reaching an agreement as to the 5-cent car fare to Ensley.
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company requested that the prop osition be carried over, inasmuch as a railway here had taken place, and it was desired to place the matter before the new interests in control. Further time was accordingly given.
 The conference was held with President A. H. Ford and Vice President L. c. Bradley, acting for the corporation, and Commissioners Lane and Weatherly act ing for the city.
 It is stated by Judge Lane that satis- factory reasons were given by the of ficials of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company why they could no act upon the matter now, and requested further time. Judge Lane said after tht conference that he was not inclined tc discuss the details of the meeting, bu that he was satisfied with the develop ments.
 The feature of the meeting was the fact that 1t was executive. The meeting occurred in the offices of President Exun with only four men present. They in. vited others to leave the room while tht 5-cent car fare was being discussed
 The following official statement was is sued after the conference:
 ''In an informal discussion of the Ems ley 5-cent fare question this morning between Commissioners Lane and Weath. erly (Mr Exum being absenD and Mr A. H. Ford and MT. Lee Bradley, for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, it was represented to the com. missioners that the new management ot the street railway corporation had noi assumed active administration of tAt street railway, but would probably do SC in a few days.
 "lt was further represented that the given consideration to the Ensley 5-cen fare proposition.
 At the request of the commissioner. MT. Ford and MT. Bradley agreed to sub init the request of the Board of Com missioners, heretofore made on the olc management of the company, to the new management, and to obtain at an earl, date the response of the latter to the commissioners request"

When Judge Hugo l.. Black called cour to order yesterday morning and all on the outside were summoned into his august presence, he was somewhat sur prised to notice that instead of the usual bunch of craps shotters, derelicts. 'prohi'' violators, spotters, policemen and law yers that compose his daily audience, in walked with dignified mein a baker s dozen of doctors and physicians of high and low degre.
 The judge further noticed that each car ried some evidence of his professional calling from a good-sized surgical in- strument case to a thermometer. As his honor had not looked over the docket he was somewhat mystifed at the attend ance at the court of such delegation.
 Like a flash it dawned on him that he had been accused of having enlarge ment of the heart, due to the fact that he handed out large and unwrapped pack ages daily to his morning callers, the majority being of the s90 and 30 days variety.
 He figured that the city commissioners were mindful of his physical welfare and had sent the delegation to examine the organ that is held responsible for half of the woes of this mortal life.
 His pale and classic countenance took on additional pallor and he was Just about to say Not guilty as charged in the indictment" when the spokesman for the delegation said in his blandest and nost cordial tones. Good morning, judge"
 Quickly as the dew disappears before the morning sun the cloud on the feat ures of his judgeship passed away, for notwithstanding all the cordiality and dig nity of the salutation, he recognized the intonation that carried with 1t an appeal
