ANN|STON MAN
 TRIES SUICIDE F. E. Barnhill Has Bullet In Lung-Declines to Give
 His Motive

r. E. Barnhill, young man, aged S years, shot himself yesterday afternoon at the Metropolitan hotel, about o'clock, presumably with suicidal intent.
 Barnhill is shipping clerk of the swift Packing company at the Annlston branch of the company. and had been in Blr- mingham only few hours when the inc cident occurred.
 The shot took effect in the right side, the bullet stopping in the lungs. At St. vincents hospital. where he was taken by Lige Loy's ambulance he would not say anything as to his motive in trying to take his life. His brother, M. E. Barnhill of Ensley, was notified of the attempted suicide, and he hastened to the hospital. He had not heard that his brother was in the city, thinking him in Anniston, where he lives. When seen last night the brother stated that the young man would not give even him any reason for the deed, but preferred to remain silent.
 It is said at the hospital that he has a fighting chance for his life, but that the bullet will have to remain in his lungs He was married only about three weeks ago.

WHAT CITIZENS SAY
 OF TEN YEAR CONTRACT

Power company is only anticipating the Tidewater in the matter of the Ensley fare as that road will not be able to give transfers and will carry passengers for cents."
 George W. Hughes, iron inspector of the sloss-sheffield company: "I am opposed to the city's signing up with the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company on their proposed terms for 10 years as it is too risky. Handicaps are almost certain to result, if the city binds Itself for this length of time, that will keep out other companies. Birmingham is just flying and is going to grow more yet.
 'The cent fare to Ensley should be given with transfers without the agita- tion of contract because, under the present arrangement Ensley Is discrimi- mated against and I consider the Ensley people worthy of as much consideration as those of Avondale, East Lake or any other of the suburbs. The light reduc- tons would prove a real concession due the citizens but on the whole I regard the 10 year contract as the wrong thing to do.''
 pr. E. w. Averyt, president of the Linwood Drug company, said: "The ques- ton of a cent fare to Ensley should not be made part of contract for mu- nicipal and commercial lighting I am of the opinion that the concessions made by the company along those lines are reasonably fair However, that has ab- solutely nothing to do with the street car rates to and from Ensley, mad should be considered separately.
 with many others I think the com- pany is attempting to take credit or make capital on an alleged reduction of rates, when every one familiar with the situa- ton knows that they are merely meet ing competition with the new line to Ensley that is now being built.
 Tt will be noticed in MT. Fords prop osition that he offers just about the same rates we expect to get on the com peting line, and nothing else The people of the section have already paid nearly half. million dollars in excess rates and 'are justly entitled to all the privi- leges enjoyed by the other sections of the city,"
 Henry Keller of the Keller Tailoring company, said q am against the terms of the contract as presented by the of- ficials of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. I think the Ensley street car fare proposition should be sep arate as it has nothing to connect it with the street lighting, except that they are handled by the same company. The people of Ensley are going to get a 5 cent fare anyway, without the consent of Power company. so I can't see why they should be granted privileges for merely protecting themselves.
 "The people of Ensley, Wylam and Pratt City, have not asked anything un- reasonable in requesting the same privi- leges as enjoyed on other lines They are entitled to the transfer privilege with out string to It."

Among the citizens who yesterday dis cussed the 10 year Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company contract were the following:
 Maj. E. D. Smith said: 'I look with favor upon the proffered contract with the city from the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 q do not think the 10 year contract which is made a part of the proposition should cause the citizens generally to view it with any serious misgivings. Any business enterprise must look to the fu- ture or there is sure to be a break down somewhere. The city may here after build and operate it's own plant The citizens may be served with electricity by another plant. It occurs to me that the safety clutch worked well in that pro- vision."
 Robert w. Ncolson: q do not think the contract offered by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company IS of sufficient fairness to recommend it to the city generally" said MT. Ncolson, who as a travelling man visits many cities but retains his residence in Birmingham.
 "The cities generally do not require such long contract I am told. The service rendered in Birmingham by the Brming- ham Railway, Light and Power company is not sufficiently good to cause any wild tumult in their favor from the people,"
 William J. Conniff: MT. Martin J. Lide in his analysis of the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power companys con- tract offered the city convinces me that the scheme is a good one. The 10 year clause does not appeal to many people for the reason that Illuminating schemes are brewing here that may recommend them- selves to the city at some later time as good ones. The people in that respect are well protected in that they are allowed to buy their electricity at any time they choose and from anyone whom they elect.
 ''The city is also allowed to build and operate its own plant, the only provisions being that the city will buy the neces- sarily installed equipment It occurs to me that the contract is therefore safe and conservative one."
 Asa l.. Hoyt, coal merchant: While think the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company has been very liberal with their concessions, except in the matter of not giving transfers on the cent fare to Ensley, still I would not deem 1t advisable for Birmingham to sign a 10 year contract with them. This city hasn't reached that age of maturity that it can say with assurance that it would be satisfied with only one electric and gas plant and one car system.
 "The light reductions are very good and I really believe that the company should have contract in return for their concessions but 10 years is entirely too long for this. Birmingham's very nature and growth are antagonistic to remain ing in the same rut for 10 years.
